Background: Significant technological development and changes happened in the tractor industries. Contrariwise, the test procedures of the major standard development organizations (SDO's) remained unchanged or with a little modification over the years, demanding new tractor test standards or improvement of existing ones for tractor performance, safety, and comfort. Purpose: This study focuses on reviewing the research trends regarding performance, safety and comfort evaluation of agricultural tractors. Based on this review, few recommendations were proposed to revise or improve the current test standards. Review: Tractor power take-off power test using the DC electric dynamometer reduced human error in the testing process and increased the accuracy of the test results. GPS signals were used to determine acceleration and converted into torque. High capacity double extended octagonal ring dynamometer has been designed to measure drawbar forces. Numerical optimization methodology has been used to design three-point hitch. Numerous technologies, driving strategies, and transmission characteristics are being considered for reducing emissions of gaseous and particulate pollutants. Engine emission control technology standards need to be revised to meet the exhaust regulations for agricultural tractors. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) program has been used to design Roll-Over Protective Structures (ROPS). Program and methodology has been presented for testing tractor brake systems. Whole-body vibration emission levels have been found to be very dependent upon the nature of field operation performed, and the test track techniques required development/adaptation to improve their suitability during standardized assessment. Emphasizes should be given to improve visibility and thermal environment inside the cab for tractor operator. Tractors need to be evaluated under electromagnetic compatibility test conditions due to large growing of electronic devices. Research trends reviewed in this paper can be considered for possible revision or improvement of tractor performance, safety, and comfort test standards.

필적을 감정할 경우 음주상태에서 작성된 필적들을 비교해야 하는 어려움에 자주 직면하게 된다. 알콜 섭취에 따른 소뇌 기능 장애로 인하여 가속과 감속, 떨리는 움직임 등의 동작 능력 통제에 장애가 발생하므로 개인 필적에서 상당한 차이가 관찰된다. 음주상태에서 작성된 필적이 기재된 협박메모를 확보하더라도 작성자가 검거된 후 자신이 작성한 것이 아니라고 부인하는 경우 필적감정에 의한 범인 특정이 어렵게 된다. 외국의 많은 연구에서 알콜의 필적에 대한 영향이 다루어지고 있지만 국내에서는 거의 없으며 대부분 통계적 처리 없이 약간 또는 증가와 같이 경험적인 표현에 그치고 있어 통계적인 평가 및 비교가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 음주에 의한 필적의 변화에 대하여 서명의 길이, 높이와 서명에 포함된 한글 자음 ㄱ, ㄴ을 추출하여 각각의 내각, 외각, 길이비율의 계측값을 통계적 방법을 사용하여 확인하였다.

A study was carried out on the physico-chemical properties of soil and content of heavy metals and benzo(a)pyrene that might have been introduced through by-product fertilizers or air pollution to growing turfgrass at natural turfgrass playgrounds in elementary schools located at the western coast and eastern mountain areas in Jeollabuk-do, Korea. The soil of turfgrass playgrounds is composed of loamy sand, and the CEC and organic matters were very low. Compared to agricultural land in Korea, the concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were very low, requiring control in terms of nutrients. The contents of total and fraction heavy metals in soil were found to be background level. The reason may lie in the fact that unpolluted sand soil or sand was used to construct the foundation for the natural grass playground in the first place. However, any change in oxidation-reduction conditions or acceleration of decomposition of organic compounds may release some heavy metals from the soil and be transformed into forms that may be easily absorbed by plants or grass. It is believed that sustained monitoring and environment impact assessments should be carried out. The contents of benzo(a)pyrene in soil showed an average 0.60ng/g with a range between 0.06 to 1.47ng/g. The detected contents were found as background level.

나로우주센터의 발사통제시스템은 우주발사체의 비행궤적과 상태정보를 감시하기 위하여 지상추적시스템(추적레이더 2대, 원격자료수신장비 4대, 광학추적장비 1대)으로부터 정보를 받아 처리한다. 각 추적장치는 주로 다중경로나 클러터, 전파굴절에 의해 자체 오차를 나타내고 있어 전송된 정보들 중 하나만을 이용해서는 우주발사체의 실제 궤적을 판별할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 취득된 추적자료의 후처리를 통해 우주발사체 비행궤적을 생성해내는 방법을 제시한다. 본 후처리 알고리즘은 크게 대기의 전파굴절에 따른 오차를 보정하는 부분과 다중센서 정보를 융합하는 부분으로 나뉘며, 효과적인 센서 융합을 위해 등가속 운동모델에 기반한 분산식 칼만필터를 구성하였다. 실측 자료의 후처리 적용 결과, 어떤 단일 센서에 의한 것 보다 오차가 최소화된 발사궤적을 얻을 수 있었다.

In the last decades, valuable results have been reported regarding conventional passive, active, semi-active, and hybrid structural control systems on two-dimensional and a few three-dimensional shear buildings. In this research, using a three-dimensional finite element model of high-rise concrete structures, designed by performance based plastic design method, it was attempted to construct a relatively close to reality model of concrete structures equipped with Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) by considering the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI), torsion effect, hysteresis behavior and cracking effect of concrete. In contrast to previous studies which have focused mainly on linearly designed structures, in this study, using performance-based plastic design (PBPD) design approach, nonlinear behavior of the structures was considered from the beginning of the design stage. Inelastic time history analysis on a detailed model of twenty-story concrete structure was performed under a far-field ground motion record set. The seismic responses of the structure by considering SSI effect are studied by eight main objective functions that are related to the performance of the structure, containing: lateral displacement, acceleration, inter-story drift, plastic energy dissipation, shear force, number of plastic hinges, local plastic energy and rotation of plastic hinges. The tuning problem of TMD based on tuned mass spectra is set by considering five of the eight previously described functions. Results reveal that the structural damage distribution range is retracted and inter-story drift distribution in height of the structure is more uniform. It is strongly suggested to consider the effect of SSI in structural design and analysis.

A frequency-domain method is developed for evaluating the earthquake input energy to two building structures connected by viscous dampers. It is shown that the earthquake input energies to respective building structures and viscous connecting dampers can be defined as works done by the boundary forces between the subsystems on their corresponding displacements. It is demonstrated that the proposed energy transfer function is very useful for clear understanding of dependence of energy consumption ratios in respective buildings and connecting viscous dampers on their properties. It can be shown that the area of the energy transfer function for the total system is constant regardless of natural period and damping ratio because the constant Fourier amplitude of the input acceleration, relating directly the area of the energy transfer function to the input energy, indicates the Dirac delta function and only an initial velocity (kinetic energy) is given in this case. Owing to the constant area property of the energy transfer functions, the total input energy to the overall system including both buildings and connecting viscous dampers is approximately constant regardless of the quantity of connecting viscous dampers. This property leads to an advantageous feature that, if the energy consumption in the connecting viscous dampers increases, the input energies to the buildings can be reduced drastically. For the worst case analysis, critical excitation problems with respect to the impulse interval for double impulse (simplification of pulse-type impulsive ground motion) and multiple impulses (simplification of long-duration ground motion) are considered and their solutions are provided.

전자부품으로 구성된 제어기의 선뢰성에 대한 연구는 미국방부를 중심으로 1960년대부터 연구되었으며, 철도분야에서는 유럽을 중심으로 1990년대부터 연구되었다. 특히 한국에서는 2000년대 이후부터 신호설비 신뢰성에 대한 연구가 시작되어 과거 신뢰성정보가 없는 노후신호설비를 대상으로 하는 효율적인 유지보수를 위한 신뢰도 평가가 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 부품단위 고장률 또는 운영시 발생된 고장정보와 같이 신호장치의 신뢰성이 지속적으로 감시 및 분석되지 않고 25년 이상 사용된, 노후신호장치를 대상으로 부품단위 신뢰도를 평가하고, 잔존수명함수를 사용하여 현재시점에서의 신뢰도변화를 예측하였으며, 연장사용이 요구되는 기간에 대한 가속스트레스시험을 통해 연장사용의 가능성을 평가하는 모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 모델은 노후신호설비를 운영하는 철도운영기관이 미래의 유지보수정책을 수립하기 위해 활용될 것이다.

The most common pipe wall thinning degradation mechanisms that can occur in the steam and feedwater systems are FAC (Flow Acceleration Corrosion), cavitation, flashing, and LDIE (Liquid Droplet Impingement Erosion). Among those degradation mechanisms, FAC has been investigated by many laboratories and industries. Cavitation and flashing are also protected on the piping design phase. LDIE has mainly investigated in aviation industry and turbine blade manufactures. On the other hand, LDIE has been little studied in NPP (Nuclear Power Plant) industry. This paper presents the development of prediction system for pipe wall thinning caused by LDIE in terms of erosion rate based on air-water ratio and material. Experiment is conducted in 3 cases of air-water ratio 0.79, 1.00, and 1.72 using the three types of the materials of A106B, SS400, and A6061. The main control parameter is the air-water ratio which is defined as the volumetric ratio of water to air (0.79, 1.00, 1.72). The experiments were performed for 15 days, and the surface morphology and hardness of the materials were examined for every 5 days. Since the spraying velocity (v) of liquid droplets and their contact area ($A_c$) on specimens are changed according to the air-water ratio, we analyzed the behavior of LDIE for the materials. Finally, the prediction equations(i.e. erosion rate) for LDIE of the materials were determined in the range of the air-water ratio from 0 to 2%.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the 12-week horse riding exercise effect on the locomotion of a body and bilateral balance and flexion/extension of trunk during the sit-to-stand(STS) in elementary and middle school students. One-hundred eleven participants were divided into three groups. Each group was subject to a different horse riding exercise: control group(n = 36), 1 time/week group(n=37), and 3 times/week group(n=38). Two-way repeated ANOVA was used to compare weight transfer time(WTT), trunk flexion velocity(TFV), trunk extension velocity(TEV), mean rising index(MRI), mean weight asymmetry( MWA) among the groups, and STS changes in before and after 12 weeks. There was a group interaction in WTT, TFV, TEV, MRI, and MWA with different responses to horse riding exercise participation. There was a significant increase in 1 time/week group and 3 times/week group of WTT, TFV, TEV, and MRI. Additionally, MWA(an index of a capacity for bilateral balance) in lower extremity was decreased in 3 times/week group. It seems that horse riding exercise positively affected musculoskeletal function of the trunk and lower extremity by accelerating locomotion and bilateral balance.

임의의 순간 인공위성의 위치와 속도를 정밀하게 계산하기 위해서는 섭동력을 일으키는 우주공간의 환경을 정확하게 이해하고 분석하여 정량화함으로써 섭동력에 대한 수리적인 모형을 만들어야 한다. 이들 우주환경모델에 의해서 인공위성이 받는 총가속도는 2계 미분방정식으로 표현되며, 이 방정식을 두 번 적분함으로써 원하는 시각에서의 인공위성의 위치와 속도를 얻는 코웰방법을 사용하여 궤도예측 알고리즘을 완성하였다. 정지위성의 궤도에 미치는 주요한 섭동력으로는 지구의 비대칭 중력 포텐셜에 의한 섭동력, 태양과 달의 중력에 의한 섭동력, 태양의 복사압에 의한 섭동력들이 있는데, 그것들의 정밀성을 최대한 높이기 위해 spherical harmonic 계수들을 40 $\times$ 40까지 적용할 수 있도록 했으며, JPL DE 403 ephemeris의 polynomial 내삽을 통해 지구로부터 태양과 달까지의 거리를 정밀하게 계산하였다. 그리고 수치적분 방법으로는 적분간격을 자동으로 조절하는 8계 Runge-Kutta single step 방법을 사용하였다.
