PCI Express (PCIe) bus, which was only used as an internal I/O bus of a computer system, has expanded its function to outside of a system, with progress of PCIe switching processor. In particular, advanced features of PCIe switching processor enable PCIe bus to serve as an interconnection network as well as connecting external devices. As PCIe switching processors more advanced, it is required to consider the different adapter card architecture. This study developed multipurpose adapter cards by applying an on-board optical module, a latest optical communications element, in order to improve transfer distance and utilization. The performance evaluation confirmed that the new adapter cards with long cable can provide the same bandwidth as that of the existing adapter cards with short copper cable.

Because on the high-tension underground distribution line of an electric railway high voltage XLPE Cable two or three circuits between railway stations with a standard as receiving transformer facilities are established at a $30km{\sim}50km$ interval, reactive power in which the phase of a current is larger than that of a voltage is supplied when trains are not working, so when there are no loading or low loading as night. Due to the long-distance trend of the underground distribution system on an alternating current railway distribution line, the terminal voltage of a transformer is over the standard voltage, and after all, commercial cycle overvoltage is continued. To solve this problem, the shunt reactor is installed in middle of power distribution lines to maintain receiver voltage meted under the allowance regulation through control of the reactive power. Also, in case that the thickness of single cable is over $60mm^2$ and length of line is about over 30km, a circuit breaker is broken by shorting shunt ability of charging current in excess of shunt current(31.5A.rms). Therefore, this thesis presents installing the location of shunt reactor for quantitative analysis by using optimum algorism for compensation and control of the charging current.

The buried fiber optic cable as a distributed intrusion sensor for detecting and locating intruders along the long perimeters is proposed. Phase changes resulting from either the pressure of the intruder on the ground immediately above the buried fiber or from seismic disturbances in the vicinity are sensed by a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer. Light pulses from a Er:fiber cw laser with a narrow, <3kHz-range, spectral width and a frequency drift of < 1 MHz/min are injected into one end of the fiber, and the backscattered light from the fiber is monitored with a photodetector. Results of preliminary studies, measurement of phase changes produced by pressure and seismic disturbances in buried fiber optic cables and simulation of ${\varphi}-OTDR$ response over long fiber paths, to establish the feasibility of the concept are described. The field experiments indicate adequate phase changes, more than 1t-rad, are produced by intruders on foot and vehicle for burial depths in the 0.2 m to 1 m range in sand, clay and fine gravel soils. The simulations predict a range of 10 km with 35 m range resolution and 30 km with 90 m range resolution. This technology could in a cost-effective manner provide enhanced perimeter security.

This paper presents a novel finite element (FE) model for analyzing coupled flutter of long-span bridges using the commercial FE package ANSYS. This model utilizes a specific user-defined element Matrix27 in ANSYS to model the aeroelastic forces acting on the bridge, wherein the stiffness and damping matrices are expressed in terms of the reduced wind velocity and flutter derivatives. Making use of this FE model, damped complex eigenvalue analysis is carried out to determine the complex eigenvalues, of which the real part is the logarithm decay rate and the imaginary part is the damped vibration frequency. The condition for onset of flutter instability becomes that, at a certain wind velocity, the structural system incorporating fictitious Matrix27 elements has a complex eigenvalue with zero or near-zero real part, with the imaginary part of this eigenvalue being the flutter frequency. Case studies are provided to validate the developed procedure as well as to demonstrate the flutter analysis of cable-supported bridges using ANSYS. The proposed method enables the bridge designers and engineering practitioners to analyze flutter instability by using the commercial FE package ANSYS.

A number of sensing techniques have been implemented for detecting defects in civil infrastructures instead of onsite human inspections in structural health monitoring. However, the issue of faults in sensors has not received much attention. This issue may lead to incorrect interpretation of data and false alarms. To overcome these challenges, this article presents a deep learning-based method with a new architecture of Stateful Long Short Term Memory Neural Networks (S-LSTM NN) for detecting sensor fault without going into details of the fault features. As LSTMs are capable of learning data features automatically, and the proposed method works without an accurate mathematical model. The detection of four types of sensor faults are studied in this paper. Non-stationary acceleration responses of a three-span continuous bridge when under operational conditions are studied. A deep network model is applied to the measured bridge data with estimation to detect the sensor fault. Another set of sensor output data is used to supervise the network parameters and backpropagation algorithm to fine tune the parameters to establish a deep self-coding network model. The response residuals between the true value and the predicted value of the deep S-LSTM network was statistically analyzed to determine the fault threshold of sensor. Experimental study with a cable-stayed bridge further indicated that the proposed method is robust in the detection of the sensor fault.

To investigate the effects of central buckles on the dynamic behavior and flutter stability of long-span suspension bridges, four different connection options between the main cable and the girder near the mid-span position of the Aizhai Bridge were studied. Based on the flutter derivatives obtained from wind tunnel tests, formulations of self-excited forces in the time domain were obtained using a nonlinear least square fitting method and a time-domain flutter analysis was realized. Subsequently, the influences of the central buckles on the critical flutter velocity, flutter frequency, and three-dimensional flutter states of the bridge were investigated. The results show that the central buckles can significantly increase the frequency of the longitudinal floating mode of the bridge and have greater influence on the frequencies of the asymmetric lateral bending mode and asymmetric torsion mode than on that of the symmetric ones. As such, the central buckles have small impact on the critical flutter velocity due to that the flutter mode of the Aizhai Bridge was essentially the symmetric torsion mode coupled with the symmetric vertical mode. However, the central buckles have certain impact on the flutter mode and the three-dimensional flutter states of the bridge. In addition, it is found that the phenomenon of complex beat vibrations (called intermittent flutter phenomenon) appeared in the flutter state of the bridge when the structural damping is 0 or very low.

This paper proposes a novel approach to model updating for a large-scale cable-stayed bridge based on ambient vibration tests coupled with a hybrid metaheuristic search algorithm. Vibration measurements are carried out under excitation sources of passing vehicles and wind. Based on the measured structural dynamic characteristics, a finite element (FE) model is updated. For long-span bridges, ambient vibration test (AVT) is the most effective vibration testing technique because ambient excitation is freely available, whereas a forced vibration test (FVT) requires considerable efforts to install actuators such as shakers to produce measurable responses. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a famous metaheuristic algorithm applied successfully in numerous fields over the last decades. However, PSO has big drawbacks that may decrease its efficiency in tackling the optimization problems. A possible drawback of PSO is premature convergence leading to low convergence level, particularly in complicated multi-peak search issues. On the other hand, PSO not only depends crucially on the quality of initial populations, but also it is impossible to improve the quality of new generations. If the positions of initial particles are far from the global best, it may be difficult to seek the best solution. To overcome the drawbacks of PSO, we propose a hybrid algorithm combining GA with an improved PSO (HGAIPSO). Two striking characteristics of HGAIPSO are briefly described as follows: (1) because of possessing crossover and mutation operators, GA is applied to generate the initial elite populations and (2) those populations are then employed to seek the best solution based on the global search capacity of IPSO that can tackle the problem of premature convergence of PSO. The results show that HGAIPSO not only identifies uncertain parameters of the considered bridge accurately, but also outperforms than PSO, improved PSO (IPSO), and a combination of GA and PSO (HGAPSO) in terms of convergence level and accuracy.

우리나라 서남해역에서 추진될 해상풍력 발전 단지에서 생산된 전기와 기존의 전력망과의 계통연계를 위해서는 해저케이블 설치가 필수적인 요소이다. 특히 해저케이블 설치에 대한 경제성, 시공성 및 안정성 확보를 위해서는 해저케이블 경과지와 해저케이블 보호공법 설계가 이루어져야한다. 본 논문에서는 1979년부터 2002년까지 한국해양과학기술원에서 구축한 장기 파랑산출자료와 제3세대 파랑 모델인 SWAN(Simulating WAves Nearshore)을 이용하여 해상풍력단지가 조성될 해역에 대해 만조와 간조시 파랑시뮬레이션을 수행하여 해저케이블 경과지와 보호공법 설계를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 서남해 해상풍력단지가 조성될 해역의 연평균 Hs는 1.03 m, Tz는 4.47s이고, 주파향은 북서(NW)와 남남서(SSW) 방향이다. NW에서 입사되는 조건(Hs: 7.0 m, Tp: 11.76s)에서 만조시 천해설계파랑 Hs의 분포는 약 4.0~5.0 m, 간조시에 약 2.0~3.0 m로 계산되었다. SSW에서 입사되는 조건(Hs: 5.84 m, Tp: 11.15s)에서 만조시 천해설계파랑 Hs의 분포는 약 3.5~4.5 m이고, 간조시에는 약 1.5~2.5 m로 계산되었다. 해저케이블 경과지 중 경도 UTM 249749~251349 구간 약 1.6 km에서는 NW로 입사되는 파랑의 영향이 크며, UTM 251549~267749 구간 약 16.2 km에서는 SSW로 입사되는 파랑의 영향이 지배적이다. 파랑집중 현상이 두드러지게 나타나는 해역은 위도와 하왕등도 사이 해역으로, 이 해역에서는 주변해역 보다 상대적으로 높은 파고를 나타내고 있다.

장대교량은 낮은 고유진동수와 감쇠비를 가지는 초유연구조물로 진동사용성 문제에 취약하다. 하지만 현재 국내 설계지침에서는 풍속이나 진폭에 대한 임계값을 기반으로 유해진동 발생 여부를 평가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 장대교량에서 발생하는 유해진동을 보다 정교하게 식별하기 위하여 딥러닝 기반 신호분할 모델을 활용한 데이터 포인트 단위의 와류진동 식별 방법론을 제안한다. 특별히 포락선을 가지는 사인파를 활용하여 와류진동에 해당하는 데이터를 합성함으로써 모델 구축에 필수적인 와류진동 데이터 획득 및 라벨링 과정을 대체하였다. 이후 푸리에 싱크로스퀴즈드 변환를 적용하여 시간-주파수 특징을 추출하여 신경망의 인풋 데이터로 사용하였다. 합성데이터만을 이용하여 양방향 장단기 기억신경망(Bidirectional Long-Short-Term-Memory) 모델을 훈련하였고 이를 라벨 정보를 포함한 실제 사장교의 계측데이터를 이용하여 학습한 모델과 비교하여 모델의 실시간 와류진동 식별 성능을 검증하였다.
