Long-term, continuous, and real-time ocean monitoring has been undertaken in order to evaluate various oceanographic phenomena and processes in the East/Japan Sea. Recent technical advances combined with our concerted efforts have allowed us to establish a real-time monitoring system and to accumulate considerable knowledge on what has been taking place in water properties, current systems, and circulation in the East Sea. We have obtained information on volume transport across the Korea Strait through cable voltage measurements and continuous temperature and salinity profile data from ARGO floats placed throughout entire East Sea since 1997. These ARGO float data have been utilized to estimate deep current, inertial kinetic energy, and changes in water mass, especially in the northern East Sea. We have also developed the East Sea Real-time Ocean Buoy (ESROB) in coastal regions and made continual improvements till it has evolved into the most up-to-date and effective monitoring system as a result of remarkable technical progress in data communication systems. Atmospheric and oceanic measurements by ESROB have contributed to the recognition of coastal wind variability, current fluctuations, and internal waves near and off the eastern coast of Korea. Long-tenn current meter moorings have been in operation since 1996 between Ulleungdo and Dokdo to monitor the interbasin deep water exchanges between the Japanese and Ulleung Basins. In addition, remotely sensed satellite data could facilitate the investigation of atmospheric and oceanic surface conditions such as sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface height, near-surface winds, oceanic color, surface roughness, and so on. These satellite data revealed surface frontal structures with a fairly good spatial resolution, seasonal cycle of SST, atmospheric wind forcing, geostrophic current anomalies, and biogeochemical processes associated with physical forcing and processes. Since the East Sea has been recognized as a natural laboratory for global oceanic changes and a clue to abrupt climate change, we aim at constructing a 4-D continuous real-time monitoring system, over a decade at least, using the most advanced techniques to understand a variety of oceanic processes in the East Sea.

The rubber crawler system for farm machine is composed of driving units such as track rollers, driving sprockets and rubber crawlers. Vibration characteristics of the rubber crawler system varies by driving speed, center of gravity, mass□moment of inertial□location arrangement of track rollers and dynamic parameters such as dynamic spring constant (k) and viscous damping coefficient (c) of a rubber crawler. In general, vibration of the rubber crawler system occurs by reason for mechanical interaction between the rubber crawler and track rollers. Because the dynamic spring constant and viscous damping coefficient vary periodically by mechanical characteristics(deformation characteristics) of the rubber crawler when track rollers drive on the between lugs of the rubber crawler. Therefore, both dynamic parameters k and c were expressed as Fourier series by authors through the shaking test of the rubber crawler and further, vibration characteristics of the rubber crawler system could be simulated analytically. However, actual values of dynamic parameters k and c are different from those obtained by the shaking test because dynamic characteristics of the rubber crawler vary by the effect of variable tension and driving resistance of track rollers. So, actual values of k and c should be identified in the condition of actual driving test. In this study, dynamic parameters such as k and c of the rubber crawler system, which are expressed as Fourier series, were identified using the Gauss-Newton Method. Therefore, validity of identified parameters k and c was discussed through the simulation using experimental data of actual driving test. As a result, in the Fourier series of dynamic parameters of spring constant k and viscous damping coefficient c, excellent parameter convergence and simulation were observed using the Fourier series' zero order and first term of the dynamic model. Furthermore, it was clarified that identification for model parameters which are fitted to actual dynamic motion (vibration) wave of the crawler system was possible by using the time series data observed in vertical and pitching motion of the crawler system.

지진동에 대한 사면의 안정성은 일반적으로 지진계수를 이용하여 지진하중을 유사정적 하중으로 단순화하여 한계평형법으로 평가된다. Transient 지진동은 지진계수를 이용하여 정적하중으로 대체된다. 하지만, 유사정적 해석결과에 절대적인 영향을 미치는 지진계수는 합리적인 물리적 근거 없이 산정된다. 또한 내진설계기준에 의거하여 산정되는 최대가속도는 사면의 진동특성을 반영한다고 볼 수 없으며, 이를 정확하게 예측하기 위해서는 2차원 동적해석을 수행해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 수정된 1차원 동적해석과 유사정적해석을 연결한 Hybrid 유사정적 해석법을 제안하였다. 기존의 해석기법은 깊이에 따라서 변이하는 가속도를 고려할 수 없기에 신뢰성 있는 사면의 안정성 예측이 어려운 실정이다. 수정된 1차원 지반응답해석은 깊이에 따른 사면 무게변화를 모델링하기 위하여 층의 밀도를 조정하였으며 위치별 진동가속도를 예측하기 위해서 다수의 해석을 수행하였다. 2차원 유한요소해석과 비교한 결과, 수정된 1차원 해석은 2차원 해석과 일치성이 우수한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 해석결과를 유사정적해석에 입력하여 깊이에 따라서 변이하는 가속도 주상도를 적용하였으며 기존의 해석방법으로 계산된 안전율과 비교하였다. 비교 결과, 계산된 안전율에는 큰 차이가 발생하는 것으로 나타났으며, 기존의 해석기법으로 안전율을 예측할 경우, 매우 비현실적인 값을 계산할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 개발된 기법은 해석의 신뢰성을 현격하게 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다.

차세대 고속철은 주행 속도가 점점 증가하므로 이를 반영한 고속철 차량 통과교량에 대한 새로운 주행 안정성의 평가가 요구된다. 이를 위하여 현재 공용 중인 경부 고속철 구간의 대표 교량형식인 PSC (Pre-stressed Concrete) 박스거더 교량을 대상으로 관성질량을 고려한 38-자유도 차량과 궤도 불규칙성과 상호 작용력을 반영하여 모형화하였으며, 고속철 차량 주행속도 별로 동적 수치해석을 수행하여 주행 안정성을 평가하였다. 수치해석을 통해 단순교와 2 경간 연속교의 최대 수직 변위와 DAF (Dynamic Amplification Factor; 동적확대계수)를 산출하여 동적 안정성 여부를 판단하였으며, 또한 주행 속도 별 최대 수직 변위를 추정하기 위한 3차 다항 회귀 분석식을 제안하였다. 대표적인 주행 속도와 횡 단면 위치 별 수직 변위 차이를 비교하고, 종 방향 최대 면틀림을 분석하였다. 또한, 고속철 차량의 교량통과 중 교량의 수직변위에 대한 가속도 영향선과 각 항목 간의 연관성을 분석하여 주행 안정성을 평가하였다.

This study considers the environmental factors affecting propagation loss and sonar performance in the continental regions of the East Coast Sea of Korea. Water mass distributions appear to change dramatically in a few weeks. Simple calculation with the case when the NKCW (North Korean Cold Water) develops shows that the difference in propagation loss may reach in the worst up to 10dB over range 5km. Another factor, an eddy, has typical dimensions of 100-200km in diameter and 150-200m in thickness. Employing a typical eddy and assuming frequency to be 100Hz, its effects on propagation loss appear to make lower the normal formation of convergence zones with which sonars are possible to detect long-range targets. The change of convergence zones may result in 10dB difference in received signals in a given depth. Thermal fronts also appear to be critical restrictions to operating sonars in shallow waters. Assuming frequency to be 200Hz, thermal fronts can make 10dB difference in propagation loss between with and without them over range 20km. An observation made in one site in the East Coast Sea of Korea reveals that internal waves may appear in near-inertial period and their spectra may exist in periods 2-17min. A simulation employing simple internal wave packets gives that they break convergence zones on the bottom, causing the performance degradation of FOM as much as 4dB in frequency 1kHz. An acoustic experiment, using fixed source and receiver at the same site, shows that the received signals fluctuate tremendously with time reaching up to 6.5dB in frequencies 1kHz or less. Ambient noises give negative effects directly on sonar performance. Measurements at some sites in the East Coast Sea of Korea suggest that the noise levels greatly fluctuate with time, for example noon and early morning, mainly due to ship traffics. The average difference in a day may reach 10dB in frequency 200Hz. Another experiment using an array of hydrophones gives that the spectrum levels of ambient noises are highly directional, their difference being as large as 10dB with vertical or horizontal angles. This fact strongly implies that we should obtain in-situ information of noise levels to estimate reasonable sonar performance. As one of non-stationary noise sources, an eel may give serious problems to sonar operation on or under the sea bottoms. Observed eel noises in a pier of water depth 14m appear to have duration time of about 0.4 seconds and frequency ranges of 0.2-2.8kHz. The 'song'of an eel increases ambient noise levels to average 2.16dB in the frequencies concerned, being large enough to degrade detection performance of the sonars on or below sediments. An experiment using hydrophones in water and sediment gives that sensitivity drops of 3-4dB are expected for the hydrophones laid in sediment at frequencies of 0.5-1.5kHz. The SNR difference between in water and in sediment, however, shows large fluctuations rather than stable patterns with the source-receiver ranges.
