This paper describes a quasi-static finite element analysis, which uses the explicit integration method, of the apex joint of a cold-formed steel portal frame. Such cold-formed steel joints are semi-rigid as a result of bolt-hole elongation. Furthermore, the channel-sections that are being connected have a reduced moment capacity as a result of a bimoment. In the finite element model described, the bolt-holes and bolt shanks are all physically modelled, with contact defined between them. The force-displacement curves obtained from the quasi-static analysis are shown to be similar to those of the experimental test results, both in terms of stiffness as well as failure load. It is demonstrated that quasi-static finite element analysis can be used to predict the behavior of cold-formed steel portal frame joints and overcome convergence issues experienced in static finite element analysis.

With the improvement of the quality of construction materials and the development of construction technologies, large-scale long-span steel frame buildings have been built recently. The P.E.B system using tapered members is being employed as an economically-efficient long-span structure owing to its advantage of being able to distribute stress appropriately depending on the size of sectional areas of members. However, in December 2005 and in February 2014, P.E.B buildings collapsed due to sudden loads such as snow loads and wind gusts. In this study, the design and construction of the P.E.B system in Korea were analyzed and its structural safety was evaluated using the finite element analysis program to suggest how to improve the P.E.B system in order to promote the efficient and rational application of the system.

본 연구는 심장 혈관 조영술의 투시 영상과 씨네 영상을 획득하는 데 있어서 초당 프레임 횟수를 변화함에 따라 흡수선량과 획득 영상의 화질의 추이를 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 또, FOV 확대와 Live Zoom이라는 두 가지 확대 모드에 따른 변화도 고찰 대상으로 한다. 인체모형 팬텀을 심장 혈관 조영장치 위에서 초당 프레임 횟수를 7.5, 15, 30 f/s로 설정하고 두 가지 확대 모드에 대하여 각각 5회씩 촬영하였다. 선량의 척도로서는 흡수선량과 에어 커머가 사용되었고, 화질 평가의 척도로는 잡음의 세기로서의 표준 편차(SD), 신호 대 잡음비(SNR)와 대조도 대 잡음비(CNR) 등을 활용하였다. 초당 프레임 횟수가 30부터 15, 7.5 f/s로 감소되었을 때, DAP와 에어 커머는 동일한 비율로 감소하였으나, 화질의 척도인 SD, SNR과 CNR은 거의 변화가 없었다. 확대 모드에의 의존도에 관해서는, Live Zoom이 FOV 확대와 비교하였을 때, DAP, 에어 커머와 SD에 대해서는 통계적 의미 있는 차이를 보이지 않았으나, SNR과 CNR에 있어서는 통계적 유의미한 개선을 보였다. 이러한 실험 결과에 의하여, 초당 프레임 횟수는 화질의 열화 없이 되도록 낮게 설정하는 것이 가능하며, 확대 모드도 추가적인 선량 없이 실시간 확대가 가능한 Live Zoom 모드를 적극적으로 활용 가능하며 이는 화질의 여러 척도의 저하를 가져오지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-2로 부호화된 비디오 스트림에서 H.264부호화 표준으로 변환하기 위한 저 복잡도 모드 결정 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 MPEG-2에서 H.264로의 트랜스코더는 MPEG-2 복호화부와 H.264 부호화부로 구성되어 있으며, MPEG-2 복호화부에서 얻을 수 있는 현재 매크로블록외 정보를 이용해서 H.264에서 I프레임과 P프레임의 매크로블록 모드를 적응적으로 선택함으로써 전체 트랜스코더의 복잡도를 감소시킨다. 제안하는 트랜스 코더를 시퀀스에 적용한 결과 주목할 만한 화질열화나 비트율의 증가 없이 $30\sim60%$정도 복잡도가 감소된 것으로 나타난다.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11에서 채택한 매체접근제어 프로토콜인 Stop-and-Wait Automatic Repeat reQust(ARQ)방식을 사용하는 Carrier Sence Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance(CSMA/CA) 프로토콜의 성능을 renewal theory를 사용하여 수학적으로 분석하였으며, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 분석의 신뢰성을 검증하였다. CSMA/CA 프로토콜의 처리율을 분석하기 위하여 통신망은 유한 가입자로 구성되며, 슬롯화된 채널을 고려하였고, CSMA/CA프로토콜은 1-persistent CSMA와 p-persistent CSMA프로토콜을 혼합한 프로토콜로 모델링하여 CSMA.CA 프로토콜의 처리율 및 패킷지연을 분석하였다. 분석 결과에 의하면, CSMA/CA 방식은 스테이션의 수, Acknowledgement(ACK) 패킷의 길이 및 Distributed coordination function Inter Frame Space(DIFS)의 길이가 커짐에 따라 처리율이 저하되었으며, 패킷 지연이 증가하였다.

본 연구에서는 공공건물에 보강이 가능하도록 건물 외부에 록킹 월을 설치하고 이를 본 구조에 강재댐퍼로 연결하는 외부 보강 내진공법에 대한 기초 연구를 시행하였다. 2개의 실험체를 제작하였으며, 댐퍼 비보강 실험체는 기존 결과를 활용하였다. 포락선, 강도, 강성저하 및 에너지 소산능력을 평가한 결과, 플레이트 댐퍼를 외부 보강한 RW_P 실험체의 강도 증진이 우수한 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 S형 댐퍼를 외부 부착한 RW_S 실험체는 최대하중 이후에 완만한 포락곡선을 보여 댐퍼가 하중을 적절히 소산하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

A FEM-based analytical approach was used to evaluate the multiaxial high cycle fatigue damage of an automotive sub-frame. Elastic Multi Body Simulation (MBS) has been applied in order to determine the multiaxial load histories. The stresses due to these loads have been given by FE computation. These results have been used as the input for the multiaxial fatigue analysis. For the assessment of multiaxial high cycle fatigue damage, the signed von Mises, the signed Tresca, the absolute maximum principal stress and critical plane methods have been employed. In addition, the biaxiality ratio, a$\sub$e/, the absolute maximum principal stress, $\sigma$$\sub$p/ and the angle, $\phi$$\sub$P/, between $\sigma$$\sub$1/ and the local x-axis, have been calculated to evaluate the stress state at each node.

Open reading frame 35 (bm35) of the Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is a special gene whose homologues are only found in some group-I nucleopolyhedroviruses, suggesting that bm35 plays a specific role in the viral life cycle. This paper described the characterization of BmNPV bm35. Computerassisted sequence analysis shows that a putative RING finger motif is observed in the protein, Bm35 encoded by bm35. The coding sequence of bm35 was amplified and subcloned into the vector pET30a(+) and the $(His)_6$-tagged fusion protein His-Bm35 was expressed in the Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) LysS cells. The bm35 transcript and Bm35 protein were detected in BmNPV-infected BmN cells at 12~48 h post infection (p.i.) by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis using the polyclonal antibody generated by immunizing a rabbit with purified $(His)_6$-tagged Bm35, suggesting that bm35 is synthesized in the late stage of BmNPV infection cycle. Bm35 was not a structural component associated with budded virus (BV) and occlusion derived virus (ODV). These data indicated that bm35 is a functional gene in the BmNPV life cycle.

This paper is concerned with an efficient generation of stereoscopic views for complex virtual environments by exploiting frame coherence in visibility. The basic idea is to keep visible polygons throughout the rendering process. P-buffer, a buffer of image size, holds the id of the visible polygon for each pixel. This contrasts to the frame buffer and the Z-buffer which hold the color information and the depth information, respectively. For the generation of a consecutive image, the position and the orientation of the visible polygons in the current view are updated according to the viewer's movements, and re-rendered on the current image under the assumption that, when the viewer moves slightly, the visibility of polygons remains unchanged. In the case of stereoscopic views, it may not introduce much difficulty when we render the right(left) image using visible polygons on the (right) image only, The less difference in two images is, the easier the matching becomes in perceiving depth. Some psychophysical experiments have been conducted to support this claim. The computational complexity for generating a fight(left) image from the previous left(right) image is bounded by the size of image space, and accordingly. It is somewhat independent of the complexity of the 3-D scene.

In this paper, probabilistic seismic performance assessment of a typical non-seismic RC frame building representative of a large inventory of existing buildings in developing countries is conducted. Nonlinear time-history analyses of the sample building are performed with 20 large-magnitude medium distance ground motions scaled to different levels of intensity represented by peak ground acceleration and 5% damped elastic spectral acceleration at the first mode period of the building. The hysteretic model used in the analyses accommodates stiffness degradation, ductility-based strength decay, hysteretic energy-based strength decay and pinching due to gap opening and closing. The maximum inter story drift ratios obtained from the time-history analyses are plotted against the ground motion intensities. A method is defined for obtaining the yielding and collapse capacity of the analyzed structure using these curves. The fragility curves for yielding and collapse damage levels are developed by statistically interpreting the results of the time-history analyses. Hazard-survival curves are generated by changing the horizontal axis of the fragility curves from ground motion intensities to their annual probability of exceedance using the log-log linear ground motion hazard model. The results express at a glance the probabilities of yielding and collapse against various levels of ground motion intensities.
