  • In this study, factor and cluster analysis have been conducted to group the differences in Korean view on national economic policy in the sample of the 2006 Korean General Social Survey (KGSS). According to the 2006 KGSS, the 6 items with a 5-point Likert scale include the questions about whether or the extent to which each respondent supports the specific types of governmental economic policy. In our study, at first, the factor analysis has converted the original 6 items into the 3 composite variables that account for 81% in the total variability. As the second step of factor analysis, factor scores have been computed. Then, the K-means cluster analysis based on the factor scores has been conducted to group the survey respondents into the 3 clusters. In particular, the cross-tabulation analysis has shown that the distribution of the 3 clusters varies with the respondents' socio-demographic characteristics.

  • Advanced material models for concrete are not widely available in general purpose finite element codes. Parameters to define them complicate the implementation because they are case sensitive. In addition to this, their validity under severe shear condition has not been verified. In this article, simple engineering plasticity material models available in a commercial finite element code are used to demonstrate that complicated shear behavior can be calculated with reasonable accuracy. For this purpose dynamic response of a squat shear wall that had been tested on a shaking table as part of an experimental program conducted in Japan is analyzed. Both the finite element and material aspects of the modeling are examined. A corrective artifice for general engineering plasticity models to account for shear effects in concrete is developed. The results of modifications in modeling the concrete in compression are evaluated and compared with experimental response quantities.

  • In order to evaluate spring-back behavior in automotive sheet forming processes, a panel shape idealized as a SS-rail has been investigated. After spring-back kas been predicted fer SS-rails using the finite element analysis, results has been compared with experimental measurements for three automotive sheets. To account for hardening behavior such as the Bauschinger and transient effects in addition to anisotropic behavior, the combined isotropic-kinematic hardening law based on the Chaboche type single-surface model and a recently developed non-quadratic anisotropic yield function have been utilized, respectively.

  • The aims of this study were to investigate the covariation between the extent of activity disturbances and general annoyance, and to study the relation between the extent of annoyance reactions and noise sensitivity. This paper presents a description of a model developed by taking into account self-rated noise sensitivity and noise rating(i,e., annoyance) for road traffic. The results indicate that there are large variations in noise sensitivity which is independent on the level of noise. It is also found that the extent of all activity disturbances decreased with decreased general annoyance. The paper suggests a normative approach to predicting individual's reaction to noise exposure, based on a periodically observed relationship between the prevalence of activity disturbance and annoyance. The model also predicts a road traffic-noise adaptatin level for each individual.

  • It is well known that market transactions do not lead to social optima when externalities exist. Given that previous studies such as RICARDO-AEA(2014) have identified various types of external costs, we must take their magnitudes, or externalities in general, into account in order to make toll prices to achieve social optimum. Little has been done on estimation of externalities in road uses in Korea, to the best of our knowledge. We suggested to use the contingent valuation method (CVM) to estimate overall social benefits and applied it to estimation of benefits of road kill prevention as a pilot study. Our empirical model has considered heteroskedasticity explicitly and its estimation result was that individual drivers were willing to pay 147 KRW on average in addition to current toll prices for prevention of road kills. We provided general discussions of externalities in road use and various internalization measures.

  • The objective of camera calibration is to determine the internal optical characteristics of camera and the three-dimensional position and orientation of camera with respect to the real world. Calibration procedure for computer vision should be automatical, accurate and applicable to general purpose cameras and lenses. In this paper, we present camera calibration method which meets the above requirements. The algorithm is based on the two-stage method which takes into account lens distortion in the second stage. In this paper, the overdetermined nonlinear system is established in terms of the constraints to all directions and our calibration algorithm is proposed which is constructed by using Marquardt iterations and our calibration algorithm is proposed which is constructed by using Marquardt iteration method in solving nonlinear equations. Experimental results indicate that lens distortion should be taken into consideration for the calibration of the general-purpose lens. With 24 calibration points acquired out of 512$\times$512 image, the proposed algorithm came up with average error of less than 1 pixel and showed a higher accuracy over the conventional two-stage method.

  • This paper present a general computation taking into account the slotting effect on the magnetic field due to permanent magnet in surface mounted permanent magnet machine. The analytical method is based on the solution of Laplace's and Poisson's equations (by the separation of variables technique) for each subdomain, i.e., magnets, air gap, and slots. The general solution is obtained using boundary and continuity conditions. The analytical results are in very good agreement with those obtained by the FEA, considering both amplitude and waveform.

  • In this study, Mike11 will be used as the numerical model where a data assimilation method will be applied to it. This paper aims to gain an insight and understanding of data assimilation in flood forecasting models. It will start with a general discussion of data assimilation, followed by a description of the methodology and discussion of the statistical error forecast model used, which in this case is the linear regression. This error forecast model is applied to the water level forecast simulated by MIKE11 to produced improved forecast and validated against real measurements. It is found that there exists a phase error in the improved forecasts. Hence, 2 general formula are used to account for this phase error and they have shown improvement to the accuracy of the forecasts, where one improved the immediate forecast of up to 5 hours while the other improved the estimation of the peak discharge.

  • A ner general multi-layer area router, called DINOSAUR, is presented in this paper. DINOSAUR can route various types of routing areas, such as L-shaped channel, switchbox with/without obstacles, and rectilinear area with/without internal modules/terminals. The DINOSAUR algorithm consists of three major stages: layerless maze routing, layering by coloring, and rip-up and reroute. In layerless maze roution stage, the route of each net is determined by modified maze algorithm without taking the conflicts(short. circuits) into account. In layering by coloring stage, the layer of each net is determinde by a heuristic coloring algorithm. When the conflicts are not removed, rip-up and reroute process is invoded. In rip-up and reroute stage, the conflicts are removed iteratively. Many test cases have been run, and on all the benchmark data known in the literature DINOSAUR has performed either better than or comparable to the other routers.

  • In this study, a general strength concrete member is produced and its hydrothermal temperature is measured. It is intended to present the basic data for establishment of fire resistance performance assessment and review of safety against fire by comparing the data values of slab fire resistance experiment and the numerical analysis model. The value obtained by measuring the hydrothermal temperature of the concrete after heating the concrete designed to have general strength (30 Mpa) for 3 hours in accordance with the ISO 834 Heating Curve is compared with the value obtained from a thermal conduction analysis. As a result of the comparison, though there is a little difference, it is thought that fire behaviors can be predicted in the future if the movement of moisture and the added evaporation speed are taken into account.
