최근 자율 주행 자동차와 지능형 CCTV에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 효율적인 객체 검출의 중요성은 필수적인 요소이다. 본 논문의 기반이 되는 DPM(Deformable Part Models)은 객체에 대한 변형 가능한 부분의 혼합을 사용하여 가변적인 객체를 나타낼 수 있는 대표적인 검출기로 다양한 분야에서 많이 연구 되고 있다. 객체 모델의 파트 모양과 구성을 잡아내는 기법으로 높은 검출 성능을 보여주지만 복잡한 알고리즘으로 인해 실제 어플리케이션에서 사용하기에는 한계가 있다. 이를 개선하기 위해 본 논문에서는 DPM에서 많은 연산을 필요로 하는 이미지 특징 피라미드(feature pyramid)를 구성하는 과정 대신, 특정 스케일에서 구해진 소수의 특징(feature) 맵에 적응적인 쌍선형(bilinear) 보간법을 이용하여 이미지 특징 피라미드를 재구성해 연산 속도를 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 방식의 DPM은 기존 DPM 방식 대비 검출 성능은 2.82%가 낮아졌지만 평균 연산 시간 10%를 향상시킴을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, we consider heat transfer enhancement in laminar channel flow by means of an infinite streamwise array of equispaced identical circular cylinders. This flow configuration can be regarded as a model representing a micro channel or an internal heat exchanger with cylindrical vortex generators. A numerical parametric study has been carried out by varying Reynolds number based on the bulk mean velocity and the cylinder diameter, and the gap between the cylinders and the channel wall. An immersed boundary method was employed to facilitate to implement the cylinders on a Cartesian grid system. No-slip condition is employed at all solid boundaries including the cylinders, and the flow is assumed to be periodic in the streamwise direction. Also, the Prandtl number is fixed as 0.7. For thermal boundary conditions on the solid surfaces, it is assumed that heat flux is constant on the channel walls, while the cylinder surfaces remain adiabatic. The presence of the circular cylinders arranged periodically in the streamwise direction causes a significant topological change of the flow, leading to heat transfer enhancement on the channel walls. The Nusselt number averaged on the channel wall is presented for the wide ranges of Reynolds number and the gap. A significant heat transfer enhancement is noticed when the gap is larger than 0.8, while the opposite is the case for smaller gaps. More quantitative results as well as qualitative physical explanations are presented to justify the effectiveness of varying the gap to enhance heat transfer from the channel walls.

이 연구는 동결견 진단을 받은 환자 14명을 대상으로 하였다. 이들에게 한국전통 정골요법(이하 KTO)을 적용하여 병증의 완화가 실제 이루어 졌는지에 대한 연구를 진행 하였으며 자발적 방문을 한 환자로 구성이 되었다. 또한 약 6개월 이상의 통증을 호소하는 만성질환자를 대상으로 연구 되었다. 연구 결과 KTO를 적용 한 그룹의 경우 통증 수치가 감소되었다. KTO를 적용하지 않은 그룹의 경우 통증감소가 적었다. 이러한 결과들을 토대로 동결견 환자에게 한국전통정골요법이 미치는 효과는 유효하다라고 사료되며 정확한 적용을 위한 통일적 모델링과 효과가 증대 될 수 있는 다른 치료 및 요법과의 병행이 필요 하다고 판단된다. 동결견 환자에게 한국전통정골요법을 적용하면 견관절의 운동범위 증가와 통증의 감소를 가져 올 수 있다. 그것은 발병의 원인이 너무 광범위하고 치료 방법도 정확하지 않은 현재의 상황에 많은 도움이 될 것이다.

This paper describes the hydrodynamic characteristics of a test-bed AUV SNUUV-I constructed at Seoul National University. The main purpose of the AUV is to carry out fundamental control and hydrodynamic experiments. Its configuration is basically a long cylinder of 1.35m in length and 0.25m in diameter with delta-type wings near its rear end. On the edge of each wing, a thruster of 1/4HP is mounted, which is used for both drive and turn the vehicle for horizontal movement as the output control power is varied. A pair of control surfaces installed near its font part generates pitch moments for vertical movement. The 6 DOF mathematical model of SNUUV-I contains hydrodynamic forces and moments expressed in terms of a set of hydrodynamic coefficients. These coefficients can be classified into linear damping coefficients, linear inertial coefficients and nonlinear damping coefficients. It is important to estimate the exact value of these coefficients to control the vehicle precisely. Among these, the linear coefficients are known to affect the motion of the vehicle dominantly. The linear damping coefficients are estimated by using Extended Kalman Filter. The responses of the vehicle to input signals are used to estimate the hydrodynamic coefficients, which can be inferred from output signals measured from an IMU (inertial motion unit) sensor, while the linear inertial coefficients are calculated by a potential code. By using these coefficients estimated as described above, a simulation program is constructed using Matlab.

An aim of the study is to develop an efficient numerical simulation technique that can handle the two-scale analysis of fluid permeation filters fabricated by the partial sintering technique of small spherical ceramics. A solid-fluid mixture homogenization method is introduced to predict the mechanical characters such as rigidity and permeability of the porous ceramic filters from the micro-scale geometry and configuration of partially-sintered particles. An extended finite element (X-FE) discretization technique based on the enriched interpolations of respective characteristic functions at fluid-solid interfaces is proposed for the non-interface-fitted mesh solution of the micro-scale analysis that needs non-slip condition at the interface between solid and fluid phases of the unit cell. The homogenization and localization performances of the proposed method are shown in a typical two-dimensional benchmark problem whose model has a hole in center. Three-dimensional applications to the body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) unit cell models are also shown in the paper. The 3D application is prepared toward the computer-aided optimal design of ceramic filters. The accuracy and stability of the X-FEM based method are comparable to those of the standard interface-fitted FEM, and are superior to those of the voxel type FEM that is often used in such complex micro geometry cases.

Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) have excellent hysteretic behavior while buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) are susceptible to residual lateral deformations. To address this drawback, a novel self-centering (SC) BRB with Basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) composite tendons is presented in this work. The configuration and mechanics of proposed BFRP-SC-BRBs are first discussed. Then an 1840-mm-long BFRP-SC-BRB specimen is fabricated and tested to verify its hysteric and self-centering performance. The tested specimen has an expected flag-shaped hysteresis character, showing a distinct self-centering tendency. During the test, the residual deformation of the specimen is only about 0.6 mm. The gap between anchorage plates and welding ends of bracing tubes performs as expected with the maximum opening value 6 mm when brace is in compression. The OpenSEES software is employed to conduct numerical analysis. Experiment results are used to validate the modeling methodology. Then the proposed numerical model is used to evaluate the influence of initial prestress, tendon diameter and core plate thickness on the performance of BFRP-SC-BRBs. Results show that both the increase of initial prestress and tendon diameters can obviously improve the self-centering effect of BFRP-SC-BRBs. With the increase of core plate thickness, the energy dissipation is improved while the residual deformation is generated when the core plate strength exceeds initial prestress force.

Reinforced concrete structures are widely used in civil engineering projects around the world in different designs. Due to the great evolution in computational equipment and numerical methods, structural analysis has become more and more reliable, and in turn more closely approximates reality. Thus among the many numerical methods used to carry out these types of analyses, the finite element method has been highlighted as an optimized tool option, combined with the non-linear and linear analysis techniques of structures. In this paper, the behavior of reinforced concrete beams was analyzed in two different configurations: i) with welding and ii) conventionally lashed stirrups using annealed wire. The structures were subjected to normal and tangential forces up to the limit of their bending resistance capacities to observe the cracking process and growth of the concrete structure. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of welded wire fabric as shear reinforcement in concrete prismatic beams under static loading conditions. Experimental analysis was carried out in order compare the maximum load of both configurations, the experimental load-time profile applied in the first configuration was used to reproduce the same loading conditions in the numerical simulations. Thus, comparisons between the numerical and experimental results of the welded frame beam show that the proposed model can estimate the concrete strength and failure behavior accurately.

Shape memory alloy (SMA)-based Superelasticity-assisted Slider (SSS) is proposed as an engineering solution to practically exploit the well-accepted advantages of both sliding isolation and SMA-based recentering. Self-centering capability in SSS is provided by austenitic SMA cables (or wire ropes), recently attracting a lot of interest and attention in earthquake engineering and seismic isolation. The cables are arranged in various novel and conventional configurations to make SSS versatile for aseismic design and retrofit of structures. All the configurations are detailed with thorough technical drawings. It is shown that SSS is applicable without the need for Isolation Units (IUs). IUs, at the same time, are devised for industrialized applications. The proof-of-concept study is carried out through the examination of mechanical behavior in all the alternative configurations. Force-displacement relations are determined. Isolation capabilities are predicted based on the decreases in seismic demands, estimated by the increases in effective periods and equivalent damping ratios. Restoring forces normalized relative to resisting forces are assessed as the criteria for self-centering capabilities. Lengths of SMA cables required in each configuration are calculated to assess the cost and practicality. Practical implementation is realized by setting up a small-scale IU. The effectiveness of SSS under seismic actions is evaluated using an innovative computer model and compared to those of well-known Isolation Systems (ISs) protecting a reference building. Comparisons show that SSS seems to be an effective IS and suitable for earthquake protection of both structural and non-structural elements. Further research aimed at additional validation of the system are outlined.

NAND flash memory (NFM) based storage devices, e.g. Solid State Drive (SSD), are rapidly replacing conventional storage devices, e.g. Hard Disk Drive (HDD). As NAND flash memory technology advances, its specification has evolved to support denser cells and larger pages and blocks. However, efforts to fully understand their impacts on design objectives such as performance, power, and cost for various applications are often neglected. Our research shows this recent trend can adversely affect the design objectives depending on the characteristics of applications. Past works mostly focused on improving the specific design objectives of NFM based systems via various architectural solutions when the specification of NFM is given. Several other works attempted to model and characterize NFM but did not access the system-level impacts of individual parameters. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first work that considers the specification of NFM as the design parameters of NAND flash storage devices (NFSDs) and analyzes the characteristics of various synthesized and real traces and their interaction with design parameters. Our research shows that optimizing design parameters depends heavily on the characteristics of applications. The main contribution of this research is to understand the effects of low-level specifications of NFM, e.g. cell type, page size, and block size, on system-level metrics such as performance, cost, and power consumption in various applications with different characteristics, e.g. request length, update ratios, read-and-modify ratios. Experimental results show that the optimized page and block size can achieve up to 15 times better performance than the conventional NFM configuration in various applications. The results can be used to optimize the system-level objectives of a system with specific applications, e.g. embedded systems with NFM chips, or predict the future direction of NFM.

모바일 IP는 간단하고 확장 가능한 글로벌 이동성을 지원하지만 과도한 시그널링 트래픽과 긴 시그널링 지연을 야기한다. 그래서 MN(Mobile Node)의 홈 네트워크에 위치업데이트 횟수를 줄이기 위해서는 시그널링 지연을 줄일 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 시그널링 오버헤드가 균등하게 분산되도록 지역 네트워크의 경계에 동적인 이동성과 각 MN의 트래픽 부하에 따라 조정되는 PMIPv6(Proxy Mobile IPv6) 네트워크에서의 동적인 지역적 이동성관리 기법(dMMS)을 제안한다. 제안하는 분산된 네트워크 시스템에서 각 사용자는 최소한의 시그널링 트래픽에 맞춘 최적화된 시스템을 구성한다. 시그널링 비용 함수를 제안하기 위해서 새로운 이산적 분석 모델을 제안하고, MN의 이동성 및 패킷 도착 패턴을 분석한다. 위치업데이트와 패킷 전달 비용의 총 평균을 계산하고, 최적의 지역 네트워크의 크기를 결정하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 수학적 분석의 결과, 제안한 dMMS 기법은 전체 시그널링 비용을 줄이는 측면에서 우수한 성능을 보일 수 있는 네트워크 환경을 제시한다.
