Ground motion models predict the mean and standard deviation of the logarithm of spectral acceleration, as a function of predictor variables such as earthquake magnitude, distance and site condition. Such models have been developed for a variety of seismic environments throughout the world. Some calculations, such as the Conditional Mean Spectrum calculation, use this information but additionally require knowledge of correlation coefficients between logarithmic spectral acceleration values at multiple periods. Such correlation predictions have, to date, been developed primarily from data recorded in the Western United States from active shallow crustal earthquakes. This paper describes results from a study of spectral acceleration correlations from Japanese earthquake ground motion data that includes both crustal and subduction zone earthquakes. Comparisons are made between estimated correlations for Japanese response spectral ordinates and correlation estimates developed from Western United States ground motion data. The effect of ground motion model, earthquake source mechanism, seismic zone, site conditions, and source to site distance on estimated correlations is evaluated and discussed. Confidence intervals on these correlation estimates are introduced, to aid in identifying statistically significant differences in correlations among the factors considered. Observed general trends in correlation are similar to previous studies, with the exception of correlation of spectral accelerations between orthogonal components, which is seen to be higher here than previously observed. Some differences in correlations between earthquake source zones and earthquake mechanisms are observed, and so tables of correlations coefficients for each specific case are provided.

부분 기반 영상 표현(part-based image representation)에서는 영상의 부분적인 모습을 기저 벡터로 표현하고 기저 벡터의 선형 조합으로 영상을 분해하며, 이 때 기저 벡터의 계수가 곧 물체의 부분적인 특징을 의미하게 된다. 본 논문에는 부분 기반 영상 표현 기법인 비음수 행렬 분해(non-negative matrix factorization, NMF)를 이용하여 얼굴 영상을 표현하고 신경망 기법을 적용하여 가려진 얼굴을 인식하는 얼굴 인식을 제안한다. 표준 비음수 행렬 분해, 투영 경사 비음수 행렬 분해, 직교 비음수 행렬 분해를 이용하여 얼굴 영상을 표현하였고, 각 기법의 성능을 비교하였다. 인식기로는 학습벡터양자화 신경망을 사용하였으며, 인식기에서의 거리 척도로는 유클리디언 거리를 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 전통적인 얼굴 인식 방법에 비하여 제안한 기법이 가려진 얼굴 인식에 보다 강인함을 보인다.

고속 수중운동체 능동 탐지는 수중 무기 방어 시스템에 중요한 기술로, 정확한 표적 탐지와 거리 및 속도 추정이 필수적이다. 빔 형성 각도마다 신호를 순차적으로 송신해야 하지만 펄스 분할 송신 방법은 거리 추정의 모호성이 발생한다. 이를 보완하기 위해 다중 주파수 기반 방법이 제안되었지만 대역폭을 분할할 경우 시간-대역폭 곱에서 손실이 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 대역폭을 분할하지 않아도 부펄스 간의 상관관계를 낮게 설계할 수 있는 일반화된 사인파 주파수 변조(Generalized Sinusoidal Frequency Modulation, GSFM)를 사용한 능동 고속 탐지 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 펄스 길이를 최소화시킨 GSFM을 사용함으로써 표적의 거리와 속도를 빠르게 갱신할 수 있다. 제안한 방법의 성능을 검증하기 위해 잔향이 존재하는 모의 환경을 구축하였다. 모의 실험 결과 0.05 s의 선형 주파수 변조 펄스는 한정적인 주파수 대역으로 인해 추정 거리 대비 평균적으로 50 %의 거리 추정 오차와 103 %의 속도 추정오차가 발생하였다. 이에 반해, GSFM은 같은 길이의 펄스를 사용하더라도 추정 거리 대비 거리 추정 오차와 속도 추정 오차가 각각 10 %와 14 %로 표적을 비교적 정확하고 빠르게 추적할 수 있었다. 게다가, GSFM은 방위별로 직교성이 높은 부펄스를 송신하여 표적의 대략적인 방위까지 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents a novel K-band (18 GHz) 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)-based $2{\times}2$ line-of-sight multi-input multi-output communication system. The system can deliver 356 Mbps on a 56 MHz channel. Alignment mismatches, such as amplitude and/or phase mismatches, between the transmitter and receiver antennas were examined through hardware experiments. Hardware experimental results revealed that amplitude mismatch is related to antenna size, antenna beam width, and link distance. The proposed system employs an alignment mismatch compensation method. The open-loop architecture of the proposed compensation method is simple and enables facile construction of communication systems. In a digital modem, 16-QAM OFDM with a 512-point fast Fourier transform and (255, 239) Reed-Solomon forward error correction codecs is used. Experimental results show that a bit error rate of $10^{-5}$ is achieved at a signal-to-noise ratio of approximately 18.0 dB.

A large variety of pipe flanges are required in the marine and construction industry. Pipe flanges are usually welded or screwed to the pipe end and are connected with bolts. This approach is very simple and has been widely used for a long time; however, it results in high development costs and low productivity, and the products made through this approach usually have safety problems in the welding area. In this research, a new approach for forming pipe flanges based on cold forging and the floating die concept is presented. This innovative approach increases the effectiveness of the material usage and saves time and costs compared with the conventional welding method. To ensure the dimensional accuracy of the final product, finite element analysis (FEA) was carried out to simulate the process of cold forging, and orthogonal experiment methods were used to investigate the influence of four manufacturing factors (stroke of distance, pin die angle, forming of pipe diameter, and speed of the die) and predict the best combination of them. The manufacturing factors were obtained through numerical and experimental studies, which show that the approach is very useful and effective for the forming of pipe flanges and could be widely used in the future.

A compact linear and angular displacement measurement device was developed by combining a Michelson interferometer and an autocollimator to characterize the movement of a precision stage. A Michelson interferometer and an autocollimator are typical devices for measuring linear and angular displacement, respectively. By controlling the polarization of reflected beam from the target mirror of the interferometer, some part of light was retro-reflected to the light source and the reflected beam was used for angle measurement. The interferometer and the autocollimator use the same optic axis and the target mirror can be easily and precisely aligned orthogonal to the optic axis by monitoring the autocollimator s signal. The autocollimator was designed for angular resolution of 0.1 arcsec and dynamic range of 60 arcsec. The nonlinearity error of interferometer was minimized by trimming the gain and offset of the photodiode signals. Through the experiments, we evaluate the performance of measurement device and discuss its applications.

In cellular orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) networks, co-channel interference (CCI) leads to severe degradation in the BER performance. To solve this problem, maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) CCI cancellation scheme has been proposed in the literature. MLE CCI cancellation scheme generates weighted replicas of the transmitted signals where weights represent the estimated channel transfer functions. The replica with the smallest Euclidean distance from the received signal is selected and data are detected. When the received power of the desired and interference signals are nearly the same, the BER performance is degraded. In this paper, we propose a closed-loop power control (PC) scheme capable of detecting the equal received power situation at the mobile station (MS) receiver by using the newly introduced parameter power ratio (PR). When this situation is detected, the MS sends a feedback to the desired base station (BS) which boosts the transmission power in the next frame. At cell edge where signal to interferer ratio (SIR) is considered to have average value between -5 dB and 10 dB, computer simulations show that the proposed CCI cancellation scheme has a gain of 7 dB at 28 Km/h.

A general purpose program NUFLEX has been extended for two-phase flows with topologically complex interface and cavitation flows with liquid-vapor phase change caused by large pressure drop. In analysis of two-phase flow, the phase interfaces are tracked by employing a LS(Level Set) method. Compared with the VOF(Volume-of-Fluid) method based on a non-smooth volume-fraction function, the LS method can calculate an interfacial curvature more accurately by using a smooth distance function. Also, it is quite straightforward to implement for 3-D irregular meshes compared with the VOF method requiring much more complicated geometric calculations. Also, the cavitation process is computed by including the effects of evaporation and condensation for bubble formation and collapse as well as turbulence in flows. The volume-faction and continuity equations are adapted for cavitation models with phase change. The LS and cavitation formulation are implemented into a general purpose program for 3-D flows and verified through several test problems.

An electromagnetic launching system presents a viable projectile propulsion alternative with low cost and minimal environmental drawbacks. A coil gun system propels a projectile using an electromagnetic force and the system is mainly employed in military weapon systems and space launch systems. In this paper, we perform optimization design to improve the muzzle velocity by analyzing the sensitivity. The muzzle velocity, which is the most important design function variable, is affected by design variables including the number of axial turns in the electromagnetic coil, number of radial turns in the electromagnetic coil, initial distance between the projectile and the coil, inner radius of the electromagnetic coil, and length of the projectile. An orthogonal arrays matrix is configured, and a finite element analysis is performed utilizing the commercial electromagnetic analysis software MAXWELL. The muzzle velocity of the optimal design is 62.4% greater than that of the initial design.
