Depending upon the method of the surface generation and the quality of the designed boundary curves, the resulting surfaces may have global or local irregularities in many cases. Thus, it would be necessary for the designer to evaluate the surface quality and to modify the surface. This is very important because the defect of the surface causes the rework of the dies, increasing cost and delivery time significantly. To simulate the reflection line test in the actual production line, a faster algorithm for generating reflection lines is presented. In this paper, among various surface interrogation methods using reflection lines, Blinn-Newell type of reflection mapping is applied to generate the reflection lines on the trimmed NURBS surfaces. The derivation of reflection lines is formulated as a surface-plane intersection problem (Jung 1994) and is solved by surface-contouring techniques. Also, for eliminating the discontinuity of reflection lines due to the configuration of reflection map, a modified reflection map is proposed. An efficient traced contouring technique is utilized for the computational efficiency and proves to be well suited for the real-time quality-assessment task.

Purpose: The Objective of this study is to explore the capabilities of an integrated modelling and simulation workflow when applied to an experiment-based research process, aimed at deriving daylight optimization strategies specific to tall buildings. Methods: Two methods were devised to apply this workflow with the help of DIVA and Rhino/Grasshopper. The first method is a multiple variant analysis by setting up an appropriate base case and analysing its daylight and energy performance, forming the basis of comparison for subsequent cases for design variants. The second method involved setting up the base case within a site context and conducting a solar irradiation study. An architectural variables such as overhang and shading device, were then defined as inputs in the parametric definition in Grasshopper to control the selected variable. Results: While the first method took advantage of the speed and efficiency of the integrated workflow, the second method was derived based on the ability to directly process simulation data within the integrated, single-software platform of the proposed workflow. Through these methods, different architectural strategies were explored, both to increase daylight penetration and to reduce radiant heat gain. The focus is on methods by which this workflow can be applied to facilitate the experimental derivation of daylight optimization strategies that are specific to tall building design.

The Helmholtz equation represents acoustic or electromagnetic scattering phenomena. The Method of Lines are known to have many advantages in simulation of forward and inverse scattering problems due to the usage of angle rays and Bessel functions. However, the method does not account for the jump phenomena on obstacle boundary and the approximation includes many high order Bessel functions. The high order Bessel functions have extreme blow-up or die-out features in resonance region obstacle boundary. Therefore, in particular, when we consider shape reconstruction problems, the method is suffered from severe instabilities due to the logical confliction and the severe singularities of high order Bessel functions. In this paper, two approximation formulas for the Helmholtz equation are introduced. The formulas are new and powerful. The derivation is based on Method of Lines, Huygen's principle, boundary jump relations, Addition Formula, and the orthogonality of the trigonometric functions. The formulas reduce the approximation dimension significantly so that only lower order Bessel functions are required. They overcome the severe instability near the obstacle boundary and reduce the computational time significantly. The convergence is exponential. The formulas adopt the scattering jump phenomena on the boundary, and separate the boundary information from the measured scattered fields. Thus, the sensitivities of the scattered fields caused by the boundary changes can be analyzed easily. Several numerical experiments are performed. The results show the superiority of the proposed formulas in accuracy, efficiency, and stability.

This study aims to enhance the price and quality competitiveness of imported tiles by developing a robotic tile production automation line. The development process involved several steps, such as requirement analysis, derivation of technical specifications, conceptual design, engineering feasibility review, detailed design, and production. Emphasis was placed on the transfer process of the tiles' molds, and technological advancements were achieved through engineering interpretation, feasibility review, and performance evaluation. The developed automation system incorporates key specifications to ensure a transfer success rate of over 90%, thereby ensuring stable transportation of the tiles and minimizing defect rates during production. The maximum weight capacity for tile pick-up was set above 6 kg, allowing effective handling of tiles weighing 6 kg or less in automated tasks. Furthermore, the system enables safe and precise movement of the tiles to the desired location, with a transfer distance of at least 1.3 m and a transfer speed exceeding 0.2 m/sec, thereby increasing production efficiency.

최근 고유가와 환율변동 등 어려운 시장상황 속에서 해운선사는 선박의 대형화와 고속화를 요구하고 있다. 선사들은 선박의 운용유지비 절감을 우선적으로 요구하고 있으며, 이에 조선소에서는 기술경쟁력 유지를 위한 방안으로 속도성능 향상에 중점을 두고 지속적으로 노력 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 절약형 선형개발에 중점을 두고 유동제어 띠를 사용한 선박의 저항성능 향상에 관하여 소개한다. 본 연구는 혹등고래(Humpback Whale)의 배 주위에 있는 기다란 줄 무늬 형상을 응용하여 선체표면에 "오목하고 길게 팬 줄 형상 또는 볼록하고 기다란 줄 형상"(이하, 유동제어 띠라고 함)을 단일로 적용하였다. 현재, 제안된 형상은 특허출원이 되어 있다. 이 형상은 선체표면의 압력분포 변화와 압력강하 현상 등을 효과적으로 제어하는 역할을 한다. 실선 적용 시 장점은 블록조립이 완성된 후에 선체표면에 부가물을 부착하는 종래기술과 비교하여 볼 때 블록제작 단계에서 단면형상을 반영할 수 있다는 점에서 비용을 절약할 수 있다고 판단된다.

Tax evasion is increasing, but efficiency of tax administration is evaluated as improving. This is because the taxation cost, which is a measure to judge the efficiency of the tax administration, does not consider the tax evasion effect at all. This method of estimating the cost of taxation is a dispute that neglects the role of taxation authorities in tax evasion. The existing study focuses on the development of a tax evasion model focused on maximizing the utility through the tax evasion of the taxpayer as the tax evasion approaches the individual 's deviant problem. However, this has the aspect of making the role of the tax authorities in tax evasion negative. This study empirically derived the optimal size of tax administration in Korea by using tax collection cost and tax cooperation cost. Also, it is meaningful to consider the role of the taxation authorities in tax evasion and to derive the optimal taxation cost model by estimating the decrease in tax evasion due to the taxation expenditure of the tax authorities. In order to derive the optimal size of tax administration in Korea, taxation cost and tax cooperation cost are derived by classifying tax officials. The optimal taxation cost model was derived by estimating the taxation expenditure related to tax evasion. This study is meaningful to make it possible to emphasize the role of tax authorities in studying future tax evasion by studying the effect of taxation expenditure on tax evasion.

The aim of this research is to derive an optimum operating condition for the thermal solubilization equipment that is employed to increase concentration of soluble organic materials and to assess whether it would be possible to use the waste sludge generated by thermal solubilization reaction as an external carbon source in biological denitrification process. For the purpose, we have constituted a laboratory-size thermal solubilization equipment and have assessed thermal hydrolysis efficiency based on various reaction temperature and reaction time. We have also derived SDNR using the waste sludge generated by thermal solubilization reaction through a batch experiment. As a result of research, the highest thermal hydrolysis efficiency of about 42.8% was achieved at $190^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature and at 90 minutes of reaction time. And when SDNR was derived using the waste sludge, the value obtained was $0.080{\sim}0.094\;g\;NO_3{^-}-N/g\;MLVSS{\cdot}day$, showing SDNR that is higher than that obtained by the results of existing researches that used common wastewater as an external carbon source. Accordingly, in view of the fact that food wastes vary quite a bit in characteristics based on the area they are generated from and seasonal change, it seems that a flexible operation of thermal solubilization equipment is required through on-going monitoring of food wastes that are imported to food wastes recycling facilities.

This paper presents a hybrid numerical approach, which combines a two-phase Navier-Stokes model (NS) and the fully nonlinear potential theory (FNPT), for modelling wave-structure interaction. The former governs the computational domain near the structure, where the viscous and turbulent effects are significant, and is solved by OpenFOAM/InterDyMFoam which utilising the finite volume method (FVM) with a Volume of Fluid (VOF) for the phase identification. The latter covers the rest of the domain, where the fluid may be considered as incompressible, inviscid and irrotational, and solved by using the Quasi Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite element method (QALE-FEM). These two models are weakly coupled using a zonal (spatially hierarchical) approach. Considering the inconsistence of the solutions at the boundaries between two different sub-domains governed by two fundamentally different models, a relaxation (transitional) zone is introduced, where the velocity, pressure and surface elevations are taken as the weighted summation of the solutions by two models. In order to tackle the challenges associated and maximise the computational efficiency, further developments of the QALE-FEM have been made. These include the derivation of an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian FNPT and application of a robust gradient calculation scheme for estimating the velocity. The present hybrid model is applied to the numerical simulation of a fixed horizontal cylinder subjected to a unidirectional wave with or without following current. The convergence property, the optimisation of the relaxation zone, the accuracy and the computational efficiency are discussed. Although the idea of the weakly coupling using the zonal approach is not new, the present hybrid model is the first one to couple the QALE-FEM with OpenFOAM solver and/or to be applied to numerical simulate the wave-structure interaction with presence of current.

Carbon neutrality refers to a state in which there is no global increase in CO₂ emissions due to human activities. In Korea, for carbon neutrality, green remodeling of existing buildings and customized support tasks for zero energy in new buildings are presented. Germany is showing fundamental changes in energy supply, such as applying renewable energy and higher energy efficiency from nuclear and fossil fuels, which were the existing energy sources. In this study, how Germany establishes policies for carbon neutrality at each state level and the cases applied to increase the energy efficiency of the actually applied residential complexes are analyzed based on this. As a result of the case complex analysis, it was found that the construction direction was being promoted as a zero-energy complex or a carbon-neutral complex by gradually reducing the energy demand in buildings and supplying additional energy with new and renewable energy in the low-energy building distribution in the 1990s. In Germany's ecological complex, energy standards have been strengthened from low-energy architecture to plus-energy architecture over time, and annual heating energy consumption standards and heat transmittance rates for each structure have been achieved at a higher level. The results of this analysis will serve as basic data and derivation of applicable items when planning residential complex development and remodeling of existing buildings for the domestic carbon-neutral goal in the future.
