We analyze the real-field operational results of the RIMS. Four aspects are considered; 1) economical, 2) managerial, 3) safety and reliability and 4) RIMS user evaluation. In economical aspect we investigate the fields where some economical gains are anticipated. In managerial aspect the efficiency and effectiveness of management through RIMS are investigated. The improvement of safety and reliability are qualitatively discussed. And RIMS user evaluation is performed through survey. We also suggest several conditions for the successful settlement of RIMS and future study area for RIMS to be more reliable and perfect.

This paper, presents a comparison between numerical analysis and field test on a real offshore platform in Bohai Bay, China. This platform is a steel jacket offshore platform with vertical piles. The field testing under wave-induced force and wind force etc. was conducted, in order to obtain the dynamic parameters of the structure, including the frequencies of the jacket platform, as well as the corresponding damping ratios and mode shapes. The natural excitation technology (NexT) combined with eigensystem realization algorithm (ERA) and the peak picking (PP) method in frequency domain are carried out for modal parameter indentification under operational conditions. The three-dimeansional finite element model (FEM) is constructed by ANSYS and analytical modal analysis is performed to generate modal parameters. The analytical results were compared with experimental results. A good agreement was achieved between the finite element and analysis and field test results. It is further demonstrated that the numerical and experimental modal analysis provide a comprehensive study on the dynamic properties of the jacket platform. According to the analysis results, the modal parameters identification under ambient excitation can calibrate finite element model of the jacket platform structures, or can be used for the structural health monitoring system.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) has gained in popularity in recent years since it can assess the performance and condition of instrumented structures in real time and provide valuable information to the asset's manager and owner. Operational modal analysis plays an important role in SHM and it involves the determination of natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes of a constructed structure based on measured dynamic data. This paper presents the operational modal analysis and seismic response characterization of the Tsing Ma Suspension Bridge of 2,160 m long subjected to different earthquake events. Three kinds of events, i.e., short-distance, middle-distance and long-distance earthquakes are taken into account. A fast Bayesian modal identification method is used to carry out the operational modal analysis. The modal properties of the bridge are identified and compared by use of the field monitoring data acquired before and after the earthquake for each type of the events. Research emphasis is given on identifying the predominant modes of the seismic responses in the deck during short-distance, middle-distance and long-distance earthquakes, respectively, and characterizing the response pattern of various structural portions (deck, towers, main cables, etc.) under different types of earthquakes. Since the bridge is over 2,000 m long, the seismic wave would arrive at the tower/anchorage basements of the two side spans at different time instants. The behaviors of structural dynamic responses on the Tsing Yi side span and on the Ma Wan side span under each type of the earthquake events are compared. The results obtained from this study would be beneficial to the seismic design of future long-span bridges to be built around Hong Kong (e.g., the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge).

One of the critical items in radar testing is the ability to evaluate the performance of radar systems under real operational environments. But it takes lots of time and cost to operate real targets and analyze the test results due to a large amount of data based on these complicated environments. In this paper, the Radar Simulative T&E Lab. is introduced, and the test and analysis results of the developing radar for predicting the radar system performance are described in the Radar Simulative T&E Lab. This laboratory could be used to test the far-field characteristics of antenna radiation pattern and to perform an effective radar system test and evaluation using a simulative target generator under a low cost repeating test situation.

An HTS (high temperature superconducting) coil without insulation has been investigated since a metallic insulation was suggested in the mid-1980s. The advantage of an insulationless HTS pancake coil is that it is more stable than an insulated HTS pancake coil. This paper focuses on the various characteristics of the insulationless HTS pancake coil related with stability, especially under the external magnetic field. Because HTS pancake coil may be influenced by the external magnetic field in a real operational environment of electrical devices. First, charge-discharge test was performed for the characteristics evaluation of the insulationless HTS pancake coil as compared with insulated HTS pancake coil in liquid nitrogen at 77 K. Based on the experiment results, characteristics evaluation of the insulationless HTS pancake coil was implemented under the external magnetic field. In order to carry out the experiment, we have fabricated a cylindrical solenoid coil to apply the magnetic field. The various characteristics of the insulationless HTS pancake coil were evaluated for charge-discharge and over-current conditions. This paper proves that the insulationless HTS pancake coil is more stable than the insulated HTS pancake under the external magnetic field.

In this study, we focused on the improvements in the simulation of sea surface wind over the complex coastal area. MM5 model being currently used to predict sea surface wind at Korea Meteorological Administration, was used to verify the accuracy to estimate the local wind field. A case study was performed on clear days with weak wind speed(4 m/s), chosen by the analysis of observations. The model simulations were conducted in the southeastern area of Korea during the selected periods, and observational data such as AWS, buoy and QuikSCAT were used to compare with the calculated wind components to investigate if simulated wind field could follow the tendency of the real atmospheric wind field. Results showed that current operational model, MM5, does not estimate accurately sea surface wind and the wind over the coastal area. The calculated wind speed was overestimated along the complex coastal regions but it was underestimated in islands and over the sea. The calculated diurnal changes of wind direction could not follow well the tendency of the observed wind, especially at nighttime. In order to exceed the limitations, data assimilation with high resolution data and more specificated geographical information is expected as a next best policy to estimate accurately the environment of local marine wind field.

The performance requirements on the safety-based functionality of railway signal systems have been reinforced and the effort for enhancement of the existing system or development of the new system is being accordingly made. In particular, various technical researches on replacement or improvement of the existing ATS(Automatic Train Stop) signaling system are now in progress for better operational efficiency. In this study, the complementary points for improvement or replacement of the currently used system(i.e., ATS) will be derived in terms of operating efficiency in an integrated operating environment with the newly introduced system(e.g., ATC: Automatic Train Control). This study can contribute to derive the need for improvement of the signaling system by checking the interface problems and comparing between different systems through the analysis of real operation cases in the field. Eventually, this analysis can be applied to prevent and estimate the collision accidents can be caused by the failure of the signaling system in advance. In addition, the results can be used to provide a future direction to secure the reliability in the parallel operation by integration based on different railway signaling systems.

The scope of precision agriculture is to reach the put up cultivation goals by adjusting inputs as precise as possible after what is required by the soil and crop potentials, on a high spatial resolution. Consequently, precision agriculture is also often called site specific agriculture. Regulation of field inputs “on the run” has been made possible by the GPS (Geographical Position System)-technology, which gives the farmer his exact real time positioning in the field. The general goal with precision agriculture is to apply inputs where they best fill their purpose. Thus, resources could be saved, and nutrient losses as well as the impact on the environment could be minimized without lowering total yields or putting product quality at risk. As already indicated the technology exists to regulate the input based on beforehand decisions. However, the real challenge is to provide a reliable basis for decision-making. To support high spatial resolution, extensive sampling and analysis is required for many soil and plant characteristics. The potential of the NIR-technology to provide rapid, low cost analyses with a minimum of sample preparation for a multitude of characteristics therefore constitutes a far to irresistible opportunity to be un-scrutinized. In our work we have concentrated on soil-analysis. The instrument we have used is a Bran Lubbe InfraAlyzer 500 (1300-2500 nm). Clay- and organic matter-contents are soil constituents with major implications for most properties and processes in the soil system. For these constituents we had a 3000-sample material provided. High performance models for the agricultural areas in Sweden have been constructed for clay-content, but a rather large reference material is required, probably due to the large variability of Swedish soils. By subdividing Sweden into six areas the total performance was improved. Unfortunately organic matter was not as easy to get at. Reliable models for larger areas could not be constructed. However, through keeping the mineral fraction of the soil at minimal variation good performance could be achieved locally. The influence of a highly variable mineral fraction is probably one of the reasons for the contradictory results found in the literature regarding organic matter content. Tentative studies have also been performed to elucidate the potential performance in contexts with direct operational implications: lime requirement and prediction of plant uptake of soil nitrogen. In both cases there is no definite reference method, but there are numerous indirect, or indicator, methods suggested. In our study, field experiments where used as references and NIR was compared with methods normally used in Sweden. The NIR-models performed equally or slightly better as the standard methods in both situations. However, whether this is good enough is open for evaluation.

기술 발전에 힘입어 고속열차의 운항속도는 증가하고 있으며, 고속열차 외부 유동장으로부터 발생하는 공력소음은 설계 단계에서 매우 중요한 고려 대상이 되어왔다. 이러한 고속열차의 유동기인소음을 정확하게 예측하기 위해서는 근거리 음향장에서 고해상도의 음원 발생과 원거리 음향장에서 수치적 소산이 적은 소음 전파가 요구된다. 이는 실제 고속열차의 구성요소 별로 시공간 스케일을 모두 적절하게 고려할 수 있는 수치격자 및 시간해상도가 동반되어야 한다. 이러한 도전점을 극복하기 위해, 본 연구는 실제 크기 및 실제 운행속도의 고속열차 5차량의 외부 유동장 및 음향장을 3차원 압축성 대와류모사(Large Eddy Simulation, LES) 기법을 이용하여 동시 계산하였다. 수치해석의 검증을 위해 벽면압력섭동 측정 결과와 수치해석 결과를 비교하였다. Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings 방정식을 이용하여 고속열차로부터 방사되는 음향파워를 예측하고 주행속도간 결과를 비교분석하였다. 본 연구는 고속열차의 공력소음 발생 메커니즘 분석을 바탕으로 한 소음 저감에 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

장기간의 해양 모니터링을 위해서는 종합관측부이를 국산화하여 활용하는 것이 요구된다. 이런 요구에 부응하여 한국과 비슷한 여건의 대만 성공대학과 공동연구를 통해 종합관측부이 제작기술을 도입하여 이를 한국에서 효율적으로 해양 환경 모니터링에 활용할 수 있게 발전·개선시켰다. 부이의 크기는 육상 운반과 해상 설치에 편리하도록 직경 2.5m로, NOAA의 3.0m 부이보다 작다. 부이의 동적특성을 수치모델로 해석하였는데, 주기가 4초 이상의 파랑을 관측하는 데는 문제가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 부이의 관측 및 제어 시스템을 개선하여 더 많은 관측센서를 부착할 수 있고, 전원 소모량을 줄이고 또 자료의 분석 및 관리 기능을 높혔다. 이 논문에서는 개선된 종합관측부이의 각 구성부분을 자세히 설명하였다. 종합관측부이는 풍향, 풍속,기온, 습도, 기압 및 파랑 등 기존의 해양 기상 요소에다 수온, 염분, DO, pH 및 탁도 등 해양환경 요소를 첨가하였다. 원해에 설치된 부이로부터 실시간 자료 전송을 위해 Inmarsat 위성통신 시스템을 이용하였다. 개선 제작된 부이는 포항 앞바다에서 1개월 간의 시범 운영을 통하여 계류, 자료 송신에 대한 성능 실험과 파랑자료를 검증하기 위하여 네덜란드의 Datawell사의 Wave-rider부이와 동시 관측 실험을 수행하였는데, 좋은 결과를 얻었다.
