Recently, a fuel cell is remarkable for new generation system. The fuel cell generation system converts the chemical energy of a fuel directly into electrical energy. The fuel cell generation is characterized by low voltage and high current. For connecting to utility, it needs both a step up converter and an inverter. The step up converter makes DC link and the inverter changes DC to AC. In this paper full bridge converter and the single phase inverter are designed and installed for fuel cell. Simulation and experiment verify that fuel cell generation system could be applied for the distributed generation.

The conventional phase-shifted full-bridge (PSFB) converter with an LC filter has been widely used for high-power applications of over 1.0 kW. However, the PSFB converter cannot obtain optimal power conversion efficiency during the battery charging in electric vehicle (EV) on-board battery charger applications because of its unique drawbacks, such as a large circulating current and very high voltage stress in the rectifier diodes. As a result, the converters with a capacitive filter, such as LLC resonant converters, replace the PSFB converter in the EV chargers. This study analyzes the problems of the PSFB converter for EV on-board charger applications in detail. Moreover, the newest converters based on the conventional PSFB converter are reviewed. On the basis of the reviews, new PSFB converter topologies are proposed for EV charger applications. The new topologies are formed by connecting the rectifier stage in the PSFB converter with the output of an LLC resonant converter in series. Many problems of the conventional PSFB converter for EV charger applications can be solved and the performance can be more improved because of this structure; this idea is confirmed by an experiment consisting of prototype battery chargers under the output voltage range of 250-450 Vdc at 3.3 kW.

In this paper, a three-phase induction machine-based wind power generation scheme is proposed. This scheme uses a low-cost diode bridge rectifier circuit connected to an induction machine via an ac load voltage regulator (AC-LVR) to regulate dc power transfer. The AC-LVR is used to regulate the DC load voltage of the diode bridge rectifier circuit which is connected to the three-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG). The excitation of the three-phase SEIG is supplied by the static VAR compensator (SVC). This simple method for obtaining a full variable-speed wind turbine system by applying a back-to-back power converter to a wound rotor induction generator is useful for wind power generation at widely varying speeds. The dynamic performance responses and the experimental results of connecting a 5kW 220V three-phase SEIG directly to a diode bridge rectifier are presented for various loads. Moreover, the steady-state simulated and experimental results of the PI closed-loop feedback voltage regulation scheme prove the practical effectiveness of these simple methods for use with a wind turbine system.

The Incheon Bridge, which was opened to the traffic in October 2009, is an 18.4 km long sea-crossing bridge connecting the Incheon International Airport with the expressway networks around the Seoul metropolitan area by way of Songdo District of Incheon City. This bridge is an integration of several special featured bridges and the major part of the bridge consists of cable-stayed spans. This marine cable-stayed bridge has a main span of 800 m wide to cross the vessel navigation channel in and out of the Incheon Port. In waterways where ship collision is anticipated, bridges shall be designed to resist ship impact forces, and/or, adequately protected by ship impact protection (SIP) systems. For the Incheon Bridge, large diameter circular dolphins as SIP were made at 44 locations of the both side of the main span around the piers of the cable-stayed bridge span. This world's largest dolphin-type SIP system protects the bridge against the collision with 100,000 DWT tanker navigating the channel with speed of 10 knots. Diameter of the dolphin is up to 25 m. Vessel collision risk was assessed by probability based analysis with AASHTO Method-II. The annual frequency of bridge collapse through the risk analysis for 71,370 cases of the impact scenario was less than $0.5{\times}10^{-4}$ and satisfies design requirements. The dolphin is the circular sheet pile structure filled with crushed rock and closed at the top with a robust concrete cap. The structural design was performed with numerical analyses of which constitutional model was verified by the physical model experiment using the geo-centrifugal testing equipment. 3D non-linear finite element models were used to analyze the structural response and energy-dissipating capability of dolphins which were deeply embedded in the seabed. The dolphin structure secures external stability and internal stability for ordinary loads such as wave and current pressure. Considering failure mechanism, stability assessment was performed for the strength limit state and service limit state of the dolphins. The friction angle of the crushed stone as a filling material was reduced to $38^{\circ}$ considering the possibility of contracting behavior as the impact.

Recently, U-section decks have been more and more used in metro and light rail bridges as an innovative concept in bridge deck design and a successful alternative to conventional box girders because of their potential advantages. U-section may be viewed as a single vent box girder eliminating the top slab connecting the webs, with the moving vehicles travelling on the lower deck. U-section bridges thus solve many problems like limited vertical clearance underneath the bridge lowest point, besides providing built-in noise barriers. Beam theory in mechanics assumes that plane section remains plane after bending, but it was found that shearing forces produce shear deformations and the plane section does not remain plane. This phenomenon leads to distortion of the cross section. For a box or a U section, this distortion makes the central part of the slab lagging behind those parts closer to the webs and this is known as shear lag effect. A sample real-world double-track U-section metro bridge is modelled in this paper using a commercial finite element analysis program and is analysed under various loading conditions and for different geometric variations. The three-dimensional finite element analysis is used to demonstrate variations in the transverse bending moments in the deck as well as variations in the longitudinal normal stresses induced in the cross section along the U-girder's span thus capturing warping and shear lag effects which are then compared to the stresses calculated using conventional beam theory. This comparison is performed not only to locate the distortion, warping and shear lag effects typically induced in U-section bridges but also to assess the main parameters influencing them the most.

본 연구에서는 강주탑 기부와 기초콘크리트 연결 구조에 대해서 국내에서 특수교량의 강주탑 기부 설계에 보편적으로 적용하고 있는 명석해협대교(明石海峽大橋) 시방기준과 비선형 FEM 해석결과를 비교하였다. 명석해협대교(明石海峽大橋) 시방기준은 1970년도에 만들어진 일본 기준으로 주탑 기부와 PS 강봉 및 기초콘크리트를 스프링으로 선형 모델링하여 설계하는 방법으로서 43년이 지난 지금까지도 간편성을 이유로 이 기준을 적용하고 있다. 그러나 비선형 FEM 해석결과의 비교를 통해 특수 장대교의 강주탑 기부의 해석 및 설계에 이 기준을 적용하는 것은 여러 가지 문제점이 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 풍하중, 지진하중에 주요하게 저항하면서도 다양한 부재들로 복잡하게 연결된 강주탑 기부에 대해서는 한계상태설계법으로 발전하려는 현 시대에 맞추어 실제 거동을 반영하는 비선형 FEM해석을 적용해야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to develop a 3D mesh-type impact protection pad with excellent motion adaptability and functionality by applying 3D printing technology. The hexagonal 3D mesh, which constitutes the basic structure of the pad, comprises two types: small and large. The bridge connecting the basic units was designed as the I-type, V-type, IV-type, and VV-type. After evaluating the characteristics of the bridge, it was found that the V-type bridge had the highest flexibility and tensile elongation. The hip joint pad and knee pad were completed by combining the hexagonal 3D mesh structure with the optimal bridge design. The impact protection pad was printed using a fused deposition modeling-type 3D printer with a filament made of thermoplastic polyurethane material, and the protection pad's performance was evaluated. When an impact force of approximately 6,500N was applied to the pad, the force attenuation percentage was 78%, and when an impact force of approximately 8,000N was applied, the force attenuation percentage was 75%. Through these results, it was confirmed that the 3D-printed impact protection pad with a hexagonal 3D mesh structure connected by a V-shaped bridge developed in this study can adapt to changes in the body surface according to movement and provides excellent impact protection performance.

건설환경의 지속적인 변화로 인하여 교량 건설비용의 최소화뿐만 아니라 공용기간중의 유지관리를 포함한 전체 비용의 최소화 및 최적화의 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 이유로 교량의 상부구조에서 하부구조로 힘을 전달하기 위해 사용되는 교량받침 대신에 스터드나 연결철근 등과 같은 연결재를 사용하여 교량의 상부구조와 하부구조를 라멘식으로 일체화 시킨 교량형식이 제시되고 있다. 이 논문은 교량의 상부구조 형식을 연속 UD PSC 거더로 하여 철근콘크리트 교각과 일체화 시킨 교각일체형 연속 UD PSC 거더교를 대상으로 한다. 교각일체형 연속 UD PSC 거더교는 라멘교 형식과 거더교 형식을 결합한 교량으로 일반 받침형식의 교량과 상이한 거동특성을 나타낸다. 하지만 거동 특성에 대해 명확히 규명되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 해석적 방법을 이용하여 교각일체형 연속 UD PSC 거더교의 동적거동 특성을 분석하고 2, 3경간 교각일체형 연속 UD PSC 거더교에 적용할 수 있는 충격계수 산정식을 제시하였다.

도로 건설로 인한 서식지 파편화에 대한 저감방안으로 육교형 생태통로가 건설되고 있기는 하지만 효과성에 대해서는 아직도 논쟁이 있다. 생태통로의 효과성 평가를 위해 족적트랩, 카메라트랩과 같은 모니터링 방법이 실시되고는 있으나 얼마나 많은 개체가 이용하는지 정량적으로 평가하기에는 한계가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 생태통로와 인근 지역을 서식지로 이용할 가능성이 큰 소형포유류인 등줄쥐를 대상으로 포획-재포획 방법으로 개체 위치 파악을 통해 생태통로 이용 정도를 도출하고, 트랩 주변 환경 특성을 이용하여 등줄쥐의 생태통로 이용에 미치는 요인을 확인하였다. 등줄쥐의 생태통로 이용도는 격자단위의 포획지점을 연결하여 이동 거리와 경로를 확인하였고, 생태통로 이용에 미치는 환경 특성은 트랩당 포획 횟수를 종속변수로 한 일반화 선형 모형(Generalized linear model)을 이용하였다. 연구결과, 등줄쥐의 이동 거리는 선행연구와 유사하게 나타났으며, 생태통로를 횡단하는 개체가 나타나지 않음에 따라 등줄쥐는 생태통로를 통로보다는 서식지로 이용함을 확인하였다. 등줄쥐가 생태통로를 이용하는 데 영향을 미친 환경 특성은 층위별 식생피복량(1~2m, 2~8m, 8m 이상), 교목식생, 트랩 주변 최대 수목 흉고직경, 경사도가 유의하게 나타났다. 이에 따라 생태통로 조성 시 더 많은 교목과 관목을 식재하고, 높은 경사와 절토사면 생성을 방지하여 생태계 내 먹이원으로 이용될 수 있는 등줄쥐 이용도를 높인다면 생태통로의 효과성을 더 높일 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
