In coastal waters, more often than not, waves propagate on currents driven by tidal forces, earth’s gravity, or wind. There have been a number of studies for dealing with the change of wave spectrum due to tile presence of current. Based on the conservation of wave action, Hedges et al. (1985) have proposed an equation which describes the influence of current on the change of wave spectrum in water of finite depth. (omitted)

The control performances for active re-reflecting wave control suggested in the previous paper have been verified in cases of regular and irregular waves in a real two dimensional wave basin. For regular waves, the control performances are investigated in terms of reflection coefficients, expected amplitudes of propagating waves and wave absorbing capabilities after cessation of wave generation, compared with those of no-control cases. For irregular waves similar verification procedures were adopted. Though there are certain constraints due to the geometrical non-linearity of wave maker and certain nonlinear characteristics due to the near field and gravity waves these experiments show that the control logic could be useful in realizing re-reflecting wave control in conditions of real wave basin.

Since the operation of the King Sejong Station (KSS) started in Antarctic Peninsula in 1989, there have been continuous efforts to perform the observation for the upper atmosphere. The observations during the initial period of the station include Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) and Michelson Interferometer for the mesosphere and thermosphere, which are no longer in operation. In 2002, in collaboration with York University, Canada, the Spectral Airglow Temperature Imager (SATI) was installed to observe the temperature in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region and it has still been producing the mesopause temperature data until present. The observation was extended by installing the meteor radar in 2007 to observe the neutral winds and temperature in the MLT region during the day and night in collaboration with Chungnam National University. We also installed the all sky camera in 2008 to observe the wave structures in the MLT region. All these observations are utilized to study on the physical characteristics of the MLT region and also on the wave phenomena such as the tide and gravity wave in the upper atmosphere over KSS that is well known for the strong gravity wave activity. In this article, brief introductions for the currently operating instruments at KSS will be presented with their applications for the study of the upper atmosphere.

In this article, the theory of fractional order two temperature generalized thermoelasticity is employed to study the wave propagation in a fiber reinforced anisotropic thermoelastic half space in the presence of moving internal heat source. The whole space is assumed to be under the influence of gravity. The surface of the half-space is subjected to an inclined load. Laplace and Fourier transform techniques are employed to solve the problem. Expressions for different field variables in the physical domain are derived by the application of numerical inversion technique. Physical fields are presented graphically to study the effects of gravity and heat source. Effects of time, reinforcement, fractional parameter and inclination of load have also been reported. Results of some earlier workers have been deduced from the present analysis.

In this paper, vibration response of gravity-type caisson breakwater is analyzed to suggest the direction for structural health monitoring (SHM) on harbor caisson structure. To achieve the objective, the following approaches are implemented. Firstly, vibration analysis methods are selected to examine the dynamic characteristics of the lab-scale caisson in the frequency and the modal domain. Secondly, vibration tests on the lab-scale caisson breakwater which is installed in 2-D wave tank were performed under several water level conditions. Thirdly, vibration response of the lab-scale caisson were analyzed in the frequency and modal domain. Finally, the direction of SHM for gravity-type caisson breakwater was suggested.

천해역에서 관찰되는 장주기파는 발생 기구에 따라서 surf beat, setdown wave, locked wave, 또는 Far-infra-gravity wave 등으로 다양하게 불리 우며, 모두 0.5-수 분대의 주기를 갖는다. 이들은 정의에 따라 약간씩 다르기는 하지만 모두 계류된 선박의 동요뿐만 아니라 해안선 침식과도 밀접한 관련이 있다는 것이 일반적으로 인정되고있다(가등 등, 1989). (중략)

In this paper, we propose a gait generation method for a quadruped robot using the waist joints which can minimize the body shake during the locomotion. In this proposed method, we first calculate the hip coordinate of tilted body using the geometrical model of a quadruped robot, and then move the CoG(Center of Gravity) of a quadruped robot using 2-DOF waist joints to minimizes the body shake. In addition, the gait of a quadruped robot is generated based on the wave gait method. Finally, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing with that of the previous method through the computer simulations.

The F2-layer critical frequency (foF2) data from several ionosondes are employed to study the long-distance effect of the M8.8 Chile Earthquake of February 27, 2010, on the F2 layer. Significant perturbations of the peak F2-layer electron density have been observed following the earthquake at two South African stations, Hermanus and Madimbo, which are located at great circle distances of ~8,000 and ~10,000 km from the earthquake epicenter, respectively. Simplified estimates demonstrate that the observed ionospheric perturbations can be caused by a long-period acoustic gravity wave produced in the F-region by the earthquake.

This paper describes the test results of terrain corrections as the short wave length effect and geoid effects in gravity field modelling using Digital Terrain Model(DTM) in Korea. For a rigorous determination of terrain correction a dense grided DTM data wave prepard spacing $500\times{500m}$ was used for the computation of terrain effects. From the results obtained by the mass prism model and the mass line model, we were found that the terrain effects are large depend on the topography in the test area. It means that we should considered the terrain effects for the precise geoid determination.
