균열진전에 관한 많은 실험결과는 피로 균열진전 과정이 확률과정(stochastic process)임을 보여주고 있다. 따라서, 피로 균열진전에 관한 연구는 확률론적 기반에서 다루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 균열의 진전과정을 discrete Markov process로 가정하여, Bogdanoff가 제안한 Markov chain model(MCM)을 이용하여 구조물의 신뢰도를 평가할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 본 연구에서는 구조부재의 파괴형태로 누출, 소성붕괴 그리고 취성파괴를 취하였으며, 초기 균열크기의 변동성, 검사의 효과 등이 고려되었다. 또한, 불규칙 하중은 등가음력의 개념을 도입하여 처리하였다. 그리고, 구조물에의 계산례를 통하여 본 연구의 유용성을 보였다.

In this paper, a simple and accurate finite element model coupled to quasi-brittle damage law able to describe the multiple cracks initiation and their progressive propagation is developed in order to predict the complete force-displacement curve and the fracture pattern of human proximal femur under quasi-static load. The motivation of this work was to propose a simple and practical FE model with a good compromise between complexity and accuracy of the simulation considering a limited number of model parameters that can predict proximal femur fracture more accurately and physically than the fracture criteria based models. Different damage laws for cortical and trabecular bone are proposed based on experimental results to describe the inelastic damage accumulation under the excessive load. When the damage parameter reaches its critical value inside an element of the mesh, its stiffness matrix is set to zero leading to the redistribution of the stress state in the vicinity of the fractured zone (crack initiation). Once a crack is initiated, the propagation direction is simulated by the propagation of the broken elements of the mesh. To illustrate the potential of the proposed approach, the left femur of a male (age 61) previously investigated by Keyak and Falkinstein, 2003 (Model B: male, age 61) was simulated till complete fracture under one-legged stance quasi-static load. The proposed finite element model leads to more realistic and precise results concerning the shape of the force-displacement curve (yielding and fracturing) and the profile of the fractured edge.

The experimental results of fatigue crack propagation under constant amplitude loading show that intra-and inter-specimen variability exist. In this paper, a stochastic model for the estimation of mean and variance of crack propagation life is presented To take into account the intra-specimen variability, the material resistance against crack propagation is treated as an 1-dimensional spatial stochastic process, i. e. random field, varying along the propagation path. For the inter-specimen variability, C in paris equation is assumed to be a random variable. Compared with experimental results reported, the present method well estimate the variation in fatigue crack propagation life. And it is confirmed that the thicker the specimen thickness is, the less the variation of propagation life is.

We proposed a new model of neural network, called Time Delay Counter-Propagation Neural network (TDCPN). This model is combined properly by the merits of Time Delay Neural Network (TDNN) structure and those of Counter - Propagation Neural network (CPN) learning rule, so that increase recognition rate but decrease total teaming time. And we use this model to simulate classification of EMG signals, and compare the recognition rate and teaming time with those of another neural network model. As a result of simulation, the proposed model is proved to be very effective.

Stress wave propagation through concrete is simulated by finite element analysis. The concrete medium is modeled as a homogeneous material with smeared properties to investigate and establish the suitable finite element analysis method (explicit versus implicit) and analysis parameters (element size, and solution time increment) also suitable for rigorous investigation. In the next step, finite element analysis model of the medium is developed using a digital image processing technique, which distinguishes the mortar and aggregate phases of concrete. The mortar and aggregate phase topologies are, then, directly mapped to the finite element mesh to form a heterogeneous concrete model. The heterogeneous concrete model is then used to simulate wave propagation. The veracity of the model is demonstrated by evaluating the intrinsic parameters of nondestructive ultrasonic pulse velocity testing of concrete. Quantitative relationships between aggregate size and testing frequency for nondestructive testing are presented.

In this article, free vibration attributes of double-walled carbon nanotubes based on nonlocal elastic shell model have been investigated. For this purpose, a nonlocal Flügge shell model is established to observe the small scale effect. The wave propagation is employed to frame the governing equations as eigenvalue system. The influence of nonlocal parameter subjected to different end supports has been overtly examined. A suitable choice of material properties and nonlocal parameter been focused to analyze the vibration characteristics. The new set of inner and outer tubes radii investigated in detail against aspect ratio and length. The dominance of boundary conditions via nonlocal parameter is shown graphically. The results generated furnish the evidence regarding applicability of nonlocal shell model and also verified by earlier published literature.

Paris가 피로균열전파에 파괴역학의 개념을 도입한 이후, Paris 법칙에 의하여 피로균열성장문제를 다루어 왔으나, Elber가 제안한 유효응력강도계수가 균열 전파 실험과 잘 일치하는 것이 밝혀진 이후 많은 연구자들이 유효응력비인 개구비를 정확히 추정하기 위한 연구를 계속하여 왔다. 본 연구는 변동하중 하의 피로균열전파 거동을 해석함에 있어서 균열의 개폐구 거동을 고려한 해석적 수치 모델을 개발하여, 선체구조 설계나 선박검사 시에 활용 가능한 정밀한 균열전파 추정방법을 제안하고자 한다.

We have made a comparison of the WSA-ENLIL CME propagation model with three cone types and an empirical model using 29 halo CMEs from 2001 to 2002. These halo CMEs have cone model parameters from Michalek et al. (2007) as well as their associated interplanetary (IP) shocks. For this study we consider three different cone models (an asymmetric cone model, an ice-cream cone model and an elliptical cone model) to determine CME cone parameters (radial velocity, angular width and source location), which are used for input parameters of the WSA-ENLIL CME propagation model. The mean absolute error (MAE) of the arrival times at the Earth for the elliptical cone model is 10 hours, which is about 2 hours smaller than those of the other models. However, this value is still larger than that (8.7 hours) of an empirical model by Kim et al. (2007). We are investigating several possibilities on relatively large errors of the WSA-ENLIL cone model, which may be caused by CME-CME interaction, background solar wind speed, and/or CME density enhancement.

도심지 무선통신에서 전파전파 특성(Wave Propagation Characteristics)을 정확하게 예측하는 것은 통신 서비스 영역 결정이나 최적의 기지국 선정 및 셀 설계 등을 위해 매우 중요하다. 도심지역에서 건물 차폐영역 특성을 이용한 전파예측 모델(Propagation Prediction Model)로 CCIR모델이 있다. 이 모델은 기지국과 이동국간의 차폐 영향을 직선평면형태에서의 건물 차폐율로 나타내고 있다. 그러나 건물이 밀집되어 있는 지역이나 가시선상에 구릉이나 산이 있는 지형여건을 고려하지 않았기 때문에 예측 오차가 많이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위한 전파예측모델을 제안하였다. 제안한 모델에서는 가시선상에서 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 거물차폐에 대한 블록수와 지형여건을 고려한 건물의 차폐높이에 대한 관계식을 통계 패키지 SAS(Statistical Analysis System)로 구하였다. 그리고 고밀도, 중밀도, 저밀도 지역에서 서비스 중인 무선통신 기지국의 전계레벨 수신세기를 실측한 후, 제안한 모델과 CCIR모델의 예측 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 실측치와 비교한 결과, CCIR모델보다 제안한 모델이 고밀도 지역에서 9.71dB, 중밀도 지역\ulcorner서 9.66dB, 저밀도 지역에서 4.02dB 개선되었다.

It is well known that sound waves in the sea propagates under the influence of sea surface and bottom roughness, the sound speed profile, the water depth, and the density of sea floor sediment. In particular, an abrupt change of sound speed with depth can greatly affect sound propagation through an eddy. Eddies are frequently generated in the East Sea near the Korean Peninsula. A warm eddy with diameter of about 150 km is often observed, and the sound speed profile is greatly changed within about 400 m of water depth at the center by the eddy around the Ulleung Basin in the East Sea. The characteristics of low-frequency sound propagation across a warm eddy are investigated by a sound propagation model in order to understand the influence of warm eddies. The acoustic rays and propagation losses are calculated by a range-dependent acoustic model in conditions where the eddy is both present and absent. We found that low-frequency sound propagation is affected by the warm eddy, and that the phenomena dominate the upper ocean within 800 m of water depth. The propagation losses of a 100 Hz frequency are variable within ${\pm}15$ dB with depth and range by the warm eddy. Such variations are more pronounced at the deep source near the sound channel axis than the shallow source. Furthermore, low-frequency sound propagation from the eddy center to the eddy edge is more affected by the warm eddy than sound propagation from the eddy edge to the eddy center.
