This paper studied the speech parameters less affected by the human emotion for the development of the robust speech recognition system. For this purpose, the effect of emotion on the speech recognition system and robust speech parameters of speech recognition system were studied using speech database containing various emotions. In this study, mel-cepstral coefficient, delta-cepstral coefficient, RASTA mel-cepstral coefficient and frequency warped mel-cepstral coefficient were used as feature parameters. And CMS (Cepstral Mean Subtraction) method were used as a signal bias removal technique. Experimental results showed that the HMM based speaker independent word recognizer using vocal tract length normalized mel-cepstral coefficient, its derivatives and CMS as a signal bias removal showed the best performance of 0.78% word error rate. This corresponds to about a 50% word error reduction as compare to the performance of baseline system using mel-cepstral coefficient, its derivatives and CMS.

토양내에서 오염유기물질이 불포화토양내에 유입될 때의 dispersion coefficient를 adsorption과 desorption과정에 대해 알아보았다. apparent dispersion coefficient를 측정하기 위해 일상적인 상대습도(46%)조건에서 parametric analysis를 행하였다. 실험에 사용된 토양은 fine sand와 silt-clay혼합시료였고, 흐름방향은 상향과 하향으로 하였다. 그리고, Freon gas를adsorbing solute로 사용하였다. 오염물질로는 DCM, TCE, DCB를 사용하였다. 분석을 위해서 linear와 probability scale의 breakthrough curve를 사용하였다. 공기에서의 diffusion coefficient의 예측을 위하여 Graham's law를 계산에 사용하였고, DCM diffusion coefficient는 0.098$\textrm{cm}^2$/s로 계산되었다. 연구결과, adsorption과 desorption의 속도는 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, diffusion이 flow regime을 좌우하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고, desorption에서의 D$^{a}$ D$^{o}$ 는 1보다 클수도 있다. 또한, dispersion은 silt-clay혼합시료에서의 속도와 함께 증가한다. dispersion은 Freon의 sorption방향에 크게 의존한다.

This paper describes a systematic way of identifying the horizontal coefficient of consolidation for clayey soil under undrained condition and silty soil under partial drained condition by applying an optimization technique to the early part of dissipation data measured from the self-boring pressuremeter strain holding test. An analytical solution developed by Randolph & Wroth (1979) was implemented in normalized form to express the build-up and dissipation of excess pore pressures around a pressuremeter as a function of the rigidity index. Horizontal coefficient of consolidation was determined by minimizing the differences between theoretical and measured excess pore pressure curves using optimization technique. It was found that the proposed optimization technique can evaluate in-situ horizontal coefficient of consolidation rationally, which is similar with that obtained from the piezocone dissipation test. Furthermore, proposed method can evaluate appropriate coefficient of consolidation for soil under partially drained condition.

In this paper, the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient was measured by variation of crack length for double-cantilever beam(DCB) specimen. The energy release rate, G, was obtained by the experimental measurement of compliance. The experimental results represents that the relation between crack length for the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient and energy release rate is increased proportionally. From the results of experiments, the measurement method of crack length by the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient was proposed and discussed.

The present works are the theoretical results of the study to develope a damping flexible coupling which has a high performance of control for the torsional vibrations of power shafts in a large machinery. It is established the analysis scheme of the multiple-leaf spring, to obtain the static coefficient of stiffness of the coupling. Also, the dynamic coefficient of stiffness and the damping coefficient of the coupling are indentified through the flow analysis for a induced flow of working fluid by the deflection of multiple-leaf springs. This paper dealt with damping contributions by the friction between each plate of the multiple-leaf spring. In this paper, it is found that the dynamic characteristics of the damping flexible coupling are strongly dependent on the stiffness and the number of the multiple-leaf spring, and also vary with the viscosity of working fluid and the vibration speed of the inner star.

Nano-scale experiments for adhesion force and friction force were performed with AFM/FFM. In macro-scale, the friction coefficient is constant without relating to the change of contact area. However, many papers have indicated that in nano-scale, the friction coefficient is related to the contact area. Contact area would increase with the normal force. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the trend of the friction coefficient of Si(100) and Mica according to the normal force and then. the contact area was calculated by JKR-theory. Results showed the friction coefficient was constant under 180 nm$^2$ contact area and over 180 nm$^2$ contact area, it was degraded. Moreover. the friction coefficient was constant according to the adhesion force.

The running safety of rolling stock is assessed by derailment coefficient. It requires lots of preparatory time, expenditure and high measurement technique to measure derailment coefficient. If derailment coefficient could be measured when track or vehicle is maintained, safety will be improved. The measurement and assessment of running safety is necessary for safety especially for the vehicles newly developed and started service. Therefore measurement of derailment coefficient is most important thing to secure running safety. In this paper, we examined new assessment method which could estimate derailment coefficient by measuring vibration acceleration and displacement of vehicle operating at actual track irrespective of time and place. The new method could be used effectively as a mean confirming running safety.

Scattering of surface materials has been known as one of the most important aspects in evaluating the acoustics of concert halls are designed. One of the methods that can reduce the errors in estimating the reverberation time and other acoustic parameters through computer modeling is to calculate scattering coefficient of surface materials. However. so far, no objective and reliable methods measuring scattering coefficient has been suggested. In this situation, ISO has suggested the method of measuring the random-incidence scattering coefficient on surfaces in diffuse field, whereas AES has introduced a method on directional-incidence in free field. In this study, the scattering coefficients of five kinds of hemispheres (1.5, 2.0. 2.5. 3.0. 3.5cm) were measured by using the ISO method in 1：10 reverberation chamber. It was found that 3.0cm hemisphere has the highest scattering coefficient satisfying 95％ reliability.

The tribological behaviour of WS$_2$ solid lubricant was investigated using a ball-on-disk type tester. The WS$_2$ powder was spray-coated at room temperature and the effects of specimen configuration, atmosphere, applied load and rotating spccd on the friction coefficient was examined. WS$_2$ coated ball and disk showed the lowest friction coefficient of 0.05 in the nitrogen atmosphere under 0.3 kgf and 100 rpm, whereas relatively high coefficient of 0.1 - 0.15 was observed in air atmosphere. This confirmed that the spray-coated WS$_2$ solid lubricant was effective in reducing the friction coefficient and improving wear life in nitrogen atmosphere.

The average frictional coefficient was used generally to analyze the working process of the lubricated machine parts. But it is difficult of taking the correct frictional coefficient because the average frictional coefficient of it is progressed always unstably with a large amplitude on working condition. If the correct analysis of frictional coefficient on working condition for the lubricated machine parts can be possible, it can be effect on condition diagnosis of lubricated machine system. This study was carried out to get the optimum working condition of the hydraulic actuator parts using statistical techniques. From this result, it has the lowest friction coefficient in case of applied load of 3 kg and sliding speed of 120 mm/sec.
