The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics of knee joint sound in frequency domain and classify the knee joint diseases. The spectral analysis of knee joint sounds was performed using LPC(Linear Predictive Coding) and Wigner-Ville distribution. Ten normal subjects and 5 patients with meniscal tearing were enrolled. Each subject was seated on a chair and underwent active knee flexion and extension for 60 seconds. Sampling frequency was 10kHz and electronic stethoscope and electro-goniometer were applied during the knee motion for data collection. The spectral analysis showed 3 peaks in both groups and the difference energy distribution in time-frequency domain. These results suggest that the diagnosis of knee joint pathology using the auscultation could be easier and more correct.

A new calculation method of expected overtopping probability of rubble mound breakwater considering real tide occurrence has been proposed. A calculation method of expected overtopping probability of rubble mound breakwater was proposed by Kweon and Suh (2003). In their calculation, the fluctuation of tidal elevation was expressed by the sinusoidal change that yields the uniform distribution of occurrence frequency. However, the realistic distribution of tidal elevation should influence on the overtopping chance. In this study, the occurrence frequency of tidal elevation obtained from the real sea is included. The tidal elevation used in this study is collected from the east coastal part of Korean peninsular. Analyzing the annual data of the tidal fluctuation measured hourly during 355 days, the distribution of occurrence frequency is formulated utilizing by the normal distribution with one peak. Among the calculation procedures of annual maximum wave height, wave height-period joint distribution, wave run-up height and occurrence frequency of tide, only the annual maximum wave height is again chosen randomly from normal distribution to consider the uncertainty. The others are treated by utilizing the distribution function or relationship itself, It is found that the inclusion of the variability of tidal elevation has great influence on the computation of the expected overtopping probability of rubble mound breakwater. The bigger standard deviation of occurrence frequency is, the lower the overtopping probability of rubble mound breakwater is.

우리나라도 최근 들어 과거 눈이 거의 내리지 않던 지역에 폭설이 내리거나 대설에 의한 인명피해가 발생하는 등의 대설 피해가 발생하며, 대설 및 설해 피해에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 그러므로 자연재해저감 종합계획에 대설에 의한 설해 대비를 포함하는 등의 정책적인 변화가 생겼으나, 우리나라는 그동안 대설 피해가 많지 않았었기 때문에 대설이나 적설 자료의 특성에 대한 연구를 다양한 각도에서 수행한 적이 거의 없다. 우리나라의 적설자료는 강우자료와 특성이 다른 경우가 많다. 예를 들어, 우리나라 남해안 일부 지역은 연중 눈이 한 번도 내리지 않는 경우가 다수 있어, 연최대치계열 자료 중에 값이 없는 경우가 빈번히 존재한다. 이에 0이 다수 포함된 자료의 빈도해석을 위해 조건부결합확률분포를 이용하여 확률 밀도함수를 선정하는 방법을 적용하였다. 그 결과 기본 방법에 비해 적합도가 더 높은 확률밀도함수를 구할 수 있었으며, 100년 빈도 이상의 긴 재현기간에서 기존 방법에 비해 대체로 적설심이 작아지는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구에서는 본 연구에서는 0이 다수 포함된 자료의 빈도해석을 위해 조건부결합확률분포를 제안한 선행연구를 적용하여 우리나라 전국의 적설 관측지점에 대한 빈도해석을 수행하고, 그 결과를 설계에 사용되는 값들과 비교하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 수문학적 적용을 위한 적설자료의 관측 및 분석 방법에 대한 세부적인 기준 마련을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

미국 원자력규제위원회(U. S. NRC)에서 개발한 PAVAN 프로그램을 사용하여 기상자료의 통계처리방법에 따른 원자력발전소의 수명기간 중 발생할 수 있는 가상 사고시 단기 대기확산인자 값의 영향을 분석하였다. 대기확산을 평가하기 위한 기본요소는 기상자료이며, PAVAN에서는 대기안정도에 대한 풍향과 풍속의 발생빈도를 나타내는 결합빈도분포자료를 사용하여 평가한다. 고리와 월성 원자력발전소 부지에서 2006~2010년까지 5년간 관측된 기상자료를 사용하여 풍속등급의 분류방법(U. S. NRC 권고와 균등발생빈도 분류방법)과 평가에 적용되는 기상자료의 통계처리기간(1년, 2년, 3년, 4년, 5년)에 따른 결합빈도분포자료를 작성하여 단기 대기확산인자를 평가하였다. 평가결과, 두 원자력발전소 부지 모두 풍속등급의 분류에 따른 단기 대기확산인자 값의 영향은 미미한 반면 평가에 적용되는 기상자료의 분석기간은 상대적으로 중요한 영향을 나타냈는데, 최대값과 최소값의 비는 1.5배 이상의 차이를 보였다.

This study presents a bivariate extension of the goodness-of-fit measure for regional frequency distributions developed by Hosking and Wallis [1993] for use with the method of L-moments. Utilising the approximate joint normal distribution of the regional L-skewness and L-kurtosis, a graphical representation of the confidence region on the L-moment diagram can be constructed as an ellipsoid. Candidate distributions can then be accepted where the corresponding the oretical relationship between the L-skewness and L-kurtosis intersects the confidence region, and the chosen distribution would be the one that minimises the Mahalanobis distance measure. Based on a set of Monte Carlo simulations it is demonstrated that the new bivariate measure generally selects the true population distribution more frequently than the original method. An R-code implementation of the method is available for download free-of-charge from the GitHub code depository and will be demonstrated on a case study of annual maximum series of peak flow data from a homogeneous region in Italy.

This study was performed to investigate the clinical features of internal derangement of temporomandibular joint. For this study, 117 patients with temporomandibular disorders and 81 dental students without any signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders were selected as the patients group and as the control group, respectively. Preferred chewing side, Angle's classification, lateral guidance pattern, maximal mouth opening range, and affected side were recorded clinically. Head and shouldeer posture was measured in a groundplate on which square diagram of five centimeters each had been drawn, and cephalograph was also taken for measurement of head and neck posture. Sonopak of Biopak system (Bioresearch inc., USA) was used to record joint vibration for evaluation of internal healthy status of temporomandibular joint. The data collected were analyzed by SAS statistical program. The results of this study were as follows : 1. Frequency of left side chewing subjects was higher in patients than in control group, but there was no difference in distribution of subjects by Angle's classification. Other types was prvalent in patients whereas group function was more in control group for lateral guidance pattern. 2. As to lateral guidance pattern by clinical diagnosis, patients with internal derangement and/or degenerative joint disease showed higher frequency was consistent with the result by Sonopak impression. 3. There was no difference for shoulder height between the two groups, however, tilting of head and backward extension of cervical spine was more frequent in control group. 4. Acromion was positioned more anteriorly in patients with internal derangement and/or degenerative joint disease than in control group and angle between eye and tragus was larger in patients. Patients with degenerative joint disease showed more flexed head posture than control group did in cephalometric profile. 5. Maximal mouth opening range in patients with internal derangement was the least in all subgroups in patients classified by Sonopak impression.

This paper describes a smart structural system, which uses smart materials for real-time monitoring and active control of bolted-joints in steel structures. The goal of this research is to reduce the possibility of failure and the cost of maintenance of steel structures such as bridges, electricity pylons, steel lattice towers and so on. The concept of the smart structural system combines impedance based health monitoring techniques with a shape memory alloy (SMA) washer to restore the tension of the loosened bolt. The impedance-based structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques were used to detect loosened bolts in bolted-joints. By comparing electrical impedance signatures measured from a potentially damage structure with baseline data obtained from the pristine structure, the bolt loosening damage could be detected. An outlier analysis, using generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution, providing optimal decision boundaries, has been carried out for more systematic damage detection. Once the loosening damage was detected in the bolted joint, the external heater, which was bonded to the SMA washer, actuated the washer. Then, the heated SMA washer expanded axially and adjusted the bolt tension to restore the lost torque. Additionally, temperature variation due to the heater was compensated by applying the effective frequency shift (EFS) algorithm to improve the performance of the diagnostic results. An experimental study was conducted by integrating the piezoelectric material based structural health monitoring and the SMA-based active control function on a bolted joint, after which the performance of the smart 'self-monitoring and self-healing bolted joint system' was demonstrated.

Direct shear tests were on ducted in a laboratory setting in order to investigate the shear strength and deformation behavior of rock joints. Also, the characteristics of acoustic emissions (AE) during shearing of rock joints were studied. The artificial rock joints were created by splitting the intact blocks of Hwangdeung granites and Iksan marbles. Joint roughness profiles were measured by a profile gage and then digitized by Image analyzer. Roughness profile indices(Rp) of the joints were calculated with these digitized data. Peak shear strength, residual shear strength, shear stiffness and maximum acoustic emission(AE) rate were investigated with joint roughness. The peak shear strenght, the residual shear strength and the shear stiffness were increased as roughness popfile index or normal stress increased in the shear tests of granites. In the tests of marble samples, the shear deformation characteristics were not directly affected by joint roughness. As the result of two directional shear tests, the shear characteristics were varied with shear direction. AE count rates were measured during the shear deformation and the AE signals in several stages of the deformation were analyzed in a frequency domain. The AE rate peaks coincided with the stress drops during the shear deformation of joint. The dominant frequencies of the AE signals were in the vicinity of 100 kHz fo rgranite sample and 900 kHz for marble samples. The distribution of amplitude was dispersed with increasing normal stress.
