The analysis of correlation between the 9 element (used as the classification standard of stream typology out of the 25 elements pertinent to the survey of hydromorphological structure) and both emerged benthic macroinvertebrate as well as vegetation indicated that the substrate diversity, curvature, and degree of development of the transverse bar had a high correlation with the species composition. Only COD concentration was found to have the statistically significant correlation with the distribution of benthos among the 12 aquatic and chemical elements. Specifically, the analysis of the biotic and abiotic factors in this study indicated that there was a statistically significant correlation between the sand river and cobble river in the positive(+) and negative(-) aspects, suggesting that there is a distinctive difference between the two types of rivers in terms of hydromorphologlcal structure and ecological characteristics. Therefore, the findings of this study imply that the consideration of a biotop is prerequisite for the evaluation of stream status regarding stream restoration or the ecological topology of streams.

In the fourth industrial revolution, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are an important element of collecting and analyzing data in a variety of environments without human intervention. This sensor network is greatly affected by topology and routing protocols. Routing protocols, which affect energy consumption, are executed after deploying sensor nodes. Once built, they are difficult to change. Before the WSN is deployed, a routing protocol is carefully selected in view of various environments and the performance of the protocol is evaluated. In this paper, we propose a model to simulate multiple routing protocols using a discrete event system specification (DEVS). The DEVS-based proposed model simulates various situations without changes and structures of the its model as algorithms of the routing protocols are implemented in its coordinators model. To verify normal behaviors of the proposed model, the number of report delivery and the energy consumption of the sensor network were compared using representative protocols LEACH and Dijkstra. As a result, it was confirmed that the proposed model executes normally in both routing protocols.

As the demand for high speed and high precision increases in the field of machine tool, interest in stiffness and vibration of machine tool is increasing. However, it takes a lot of time to develop a detailed design of machine tool based on experience, and it is difficult to design appropriately. Recently, structural optimization using FEM are increasingly used in machine tool design. But, it is difficult to optimize in consideration of the vibration state of the structure since optimization through stress distribution of a structure is mainly used, In this paper, Static structural analysis, mode analysis, and harmonic analysis using FEM were conducted to optimize the head structure that has the most influence on machining in a 5-axis machine tool. It is proposed a topology optimization analysis method that considers both static stiffness and dynamic stiffness using objective function design.

The typical truss-lattice material successively packed by repeated cubic symmetric unit cells consists of sub-elements (SE) proposed in this study. The representative continuum model for this truss-lattice material such as the effective strain and stress relationship can be formulated by the homogenization procedure based on the notation of averaged mechanical properties. The volume fractions of micro-scale struts have a significant influence on the effective strength as well as the relative density in the lattice plate with replicable unit cell structures. Most of the strength contribution in the lattice material is induced by axial stiffness under uniform stretching or compression responses. Therefore, continuum based constitutive models composed of homogenized member stiffness include these mechanical characteristics with respect to strength, internal stress state, material density based on the volume fraction and even failure modes. It can be also recognized that the stress state of micro-scale struts is directly associated with the continuum constitutive model. The plastic flow at the micro-scale stress can extend the envelope of the analytical stress function on the surface of macro-scale stress derived from homogenized constitutive equations. The main focus of this study is to investigate the basic topology of unit cell structures with the cubic symmetric system and to formulate the plastic models to predict pressure dependent macro-scale stress surface functions.

The Precambrian Hongjesa granite is lithologically zoned from biotite granite in central part to biotite-muscovite granite towards the margin. The X_{Fe}$ (=Fe/(Fe+Mg)) value and the aluminum saturation index of biotite systematically vary as a function of mineral assemblage, and are positively related with those of bulk rock. This relationship as well as the lithological zoning are attributed to the fractional crystallization of the Hongjesa granitic magma. The trace element data corroborate that biotite-muscovite granite is more fractionated than biotite granite. The evolution of the Hongjesa granite is elucidated by using the AFM liquidus topology, where A=$Al_2O_3-CaO-Na_2O-K_2O$; F=FeO+MnO; and M=MgO. At an early magmatic stage where biotite is the only ferromagnesian mineral to crystallize, the X_{Fe}$ value and the alumina content of granitic magma continuously increase.. Muscovite subsequently crystallizes with biotite along the biotitemuscovite cotectic curve where biotite-muscovite granite forms. Local enrichments in Mn and B further crystallize garnet and tourmaline, respectively. The unique zonal pattern characterized by the occurrence of the evolved biotite-muscovite granite at the margin may be accounted for by the passive stoping during the emplacement of the Hongjesa granite. This emplacement may have occurred in continental collision environment, according to the tectonic discrimination diagram using major element chemistry.

Electronic equipment has been applied to virtually every area associated with commercial, industrial, and military applications. Specifically, electronics have been incorporated into avionics components installed in aircraft. This equipment is exposed to dynamic loads such as vibration, shock, and acceleration. Especially, avionics components installed in a helicopter are subjected to simultaneous sine and random base excitations. These are denoted as sine on random vibrations according to MIL-STD-810F, Method 514.5. In the past, isolators have been applied to avionics components to reduce vibration and shock. However, an isolator applied to an avionics component installed in a helicopter can amplify the vibration magnitude, and damage the chassis, circuit card assembly, and the isolator itself via resonance at low-frequency sinusoidal vibrations. The objective of this study is to investigate the dynamic characteristics of an avionics component installed in a helicopter and the structural dynamic modification of its tray plate without an isolator using both a finite element analysis and experiments. The structure is optimized by dynamic loads that are selected by comparing the vibration, shock, and acceleration loads using vibration and shock response spectra. A finite element model(FEM) was constructed using a simplified geometry and valid element types that reflect the dynamic characteristics. The FEM was verified by an experimental modal analysis. Design parameters were extracted and selected to modify the structural dynamics using topology optimization, and design of experiments(DOE). A prototype of a modified model was constructed and its feasibility was evaluated using an FEM and a performance test.

In this paper, a novel frequency reconfigurable active array antenna(RAA) system, which can be reconfigurable for three reconfigurable frequency bands, is proposed by using commercial RF MEMS switches. The MEMS switch shows excellent insertion loss, linearity, as well as isolation. So, the system performance degradation of the reconfigurable system by using MEMS switches can be minimized. The proposed frequency reconfigurable active antenna system is consisted with the noble frequency reconfigurable front-end amplifiers(RFA) with the simple reconfigurable impedance matching circuits(RMC), reconfigurable antenna elements(RAE), as well as a reconfiguration control board(RCB) for MEMS switch control. The proposed RAA system can be reconfigurable for three frequency bands, 850 MHz, 1.9 GHz, and 3.4 GHz, with $2{\times}2$ array of the RAE having broadband printed dipole antenna topology. The validity of the proposed RFA as well as RAA is also presented with the experimental results of the fabricated systems.

This paper proposes a simulation model using an equivalent circuit for the development of an MMC system. The MMC has been chosen as the most suitable topology for high voltage power transmission, such as a voltage-type HVDC, and it has dozens to hundreds of sub-modules in the form of a half-bridge or full-bridge connected in series. A simulation study is essential for the development of an MMC algorithm. On the other hand, it is virtually impossible to construct and implement MMC simulation models, including hundreds or thousands of switching devices. Therefore, this paper presents an MMC equivalent model, which is easily expandable and implemented by modeling the dynamic characteristics. The voltage and current equation of the equivalent circuit was calculated using the direction of the arm current and switching signal. The model was implemented on Matlab/Simulink. In this paper, to show the validity of the model developed using Matlab/Simulink, the simulation results of a five-level MMC using the real switching element and the proposed equivalent model are shown. The validity of the proposed model was verified by showing that the current and voltage waveform in the two models match each other.
