This paper presents an analytical study of wave propagation in simply supported graduated functional plates resting on a two-parameter elastic foundation (Pasternak model) using a new theory of high order shear strain. Unlike other higher order theories, the number of unknowns and governing equations of the present theory is only four unknown displacement functions, which is even lower than the theory of first order shear deformation (FSDT). Unlike other elements, the present work includes a new field of motion, which introduces indeterminate integral variables. The properties of the materials are assumed to be ordered in the thickness direction according to the two power law distributions in terms of volume fractions of the constituents. The wave propagation equations in FG plates are derived using the principle of virtual displacements. The analytical dispersion relation of the FG plate is obtained by solving an eigenvalue problem. Numerical examples selected from the literature are illustrated. A good agreement is obtained between the numerical results of the current theory and those of reference. A parametric study is presented to examine the effect of material gradation, thickness ratio and elastic foundation on the free vibration and phase velocity of the FG plate.

Recoverability and vulnerability of navy ships under underwater explosion are critical verification factors in the acquisition phase of navy ships. This paper aims to establish numerical analysis techniques for the underwater explosion of navy ships. Doubly Asymptotic Approach (DAA) Equation of Motion (EOM) of primary shock wave and secondary bubble pulse proposed by Geers-Hunter was introduced. Assuming a non-compressive fluid, reference solution of the DAA EOM of Geers-Hunter using Runge-Kutta method was derived for the secondary bubble pulse phase with an assumed charge conditions. Convergence analyses to determine fluid element size were performed, suggesting that the minimum fluid element size for underwater explosion analysis was 0.1 m. The spherical and cylindrical fluid domains were found to be appropriate for the underwater explosion analyses from the fluid domain shape study. Because the element size of 0.1 m was too small to be applied to the actual navy ships, a very slender beam with the square solid section was selected for the study of fluid domain existence effect. The two underwater explosion models with/without fluid domain provided very similar results in terms of the displacement and stress processes.

Recently, automatic transmissions caused a good improvement in the shift quality of a forklift. An advanced shift control algorithm, which was based on TCU firmware, was applied with embedded control technology and microcontrollers. In the clutch-to-clutch shifting, one friction element is released and the other friction element is activated. During this process, if the release and application timings are not synchronized, an overrun or tie-up occurs and ultimately leads to a shift shock. The TCU, which measures only the speed of the forklift, inevitably applies the open-loop shift control. In this situation, the speed ratio does not change during the clutch fill. The torque phase occurs until the clutch is disengaged. In this study, an offline shift logic of the learning control was proposed. It induced a synchronous shift when the learning control progressed. During this process, the reference current trajectory of the release clutch was corrected and applied to the next upshift. We considered the results of the overrun/tie-up characteristics of the upshift performed immediately before. The vehicle test proved that the deviation in shift quality, which was caused by the difference in the mechanical characteristics of the clutch, could be improved by the learning control.

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is an assessment process integrated with policy and planning processes considering environmental impacts, not at the level of individual project, but at higher level of policy and plan. Presently, two systems for the SEA are being implemented in Korea. One is "the consultation of environmental investigation into a change in national land utilization", which is to be pre-discussed with the head of the related central administrative organizations, based on the respective individual code. The other is "the consultation of environmental investigation into an administrative plan and project", which is to be pre-discussed with the minister of the environments for the administrative plan. However, these two systems are not integrated procedures with the planning process. In other words, there is a separate post-environmental assessment after planning. Also concrete proposal is not yet prepared for the method and procedure of environmental investigation about details of the planning. Therefore, they do not playa role in taking precautions for environmentally sustainable development. In this study, for the effective environmental investigation at the level of planning, environmental assessment model to be integrated with urban comprehensive plans was developed. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: First, based on the analysis of systematic problems in environmental investigation of this country, the study compared and analysed the SEA method of foreign countries. derived the potential limitations in its applications to this country. Also, the new method in this study, is integrated into planning process by improving the limitations. Thus, we developed the SEA model for this country, which consists of seven steps ; Phase 1; establishing a work program, Phase 2; defining the scop. of the SEA, Phase 3; analyzing an existing environmental situation, Phase 4; examining the consistency with environmental policy, Phase 5; appraising and synthesizing the plan content, Phase 6; proposing recommendations, Phase 7; monitoring and feedback. Second, the two types of application program of the developed assessment model were proposed. One is to integrate this model into planning process, and the other is for the institute and ministry of environments to implement SEA after planning. An aim of this study was developing an environmental assessment model at the planning level which was not yet established in this country and was to apply the model to urban comprehensive plan for inspection. This research will make the effective operation of environmental investigation system possible at the planning level in this country and contribute to the environmental protection at the global level.

본 논문에서는 Loran 신호를 이용하여 원거리통신망 및 전력 분배망과 같은 국가 기반 산업에 대한 망동기를 이루고자 할 때에 Loran 수신기에서 수신한 신호에 대한 위상 동기를 잃어 버렸을 때 이를 보상하기 위한 방안에 대해서 논한다. Loran 수신기에서 위상 동기를 잃었을 때에는 수신기 내에 있는 오실레이터가 자유구동을 하게되고, 따라서 이를 기준으로 출력되는 타이밍 동기신호의 성능이 크게 떨어지게 되며, 이때에 ITU G.811 표준에서 요구하는 PRC에 대한 1 us 이하의 요구 성능을 만족시킬 수 없게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Loran 수신기가 위상 동기를 잃었을 때 이를 보상하기 위해 보상 알고리즘을 사용하여 위상 점프를 보상하는 방법에 대해 제안했으며, 이에 대해 실측한 데이터에 대한 MTIE 성능을 분석하였다. 성능 분석 결과 제안된 방법을 사용하면 1시간 간격으로 동기를 잃었을 경우에 30 분 평균 이하의 스무딩 값을 사용할 경우 대략 0.6 us 이하의 MTIE 값을 보여서 산업체 표준에서 요구하는 1 us 이내의 PRC 성능을 충분히 만족시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of arterial subtraction images for predicting the viability of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after locoregional therapy (LRT) using gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI and the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System treatment response (LR-TR) algorithm. Materials and Methods: This study included 90 patients (mean age ± standard deviation, 57 ± 9 years) who underwent liver transplantation or resection after LRT and had 73 viable and 32 nonviable HCCs. All patients underwent gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI before surgery. Two radiologists assessed the presence of LR-TR features, including arterial phase hyperenhancement (APHE) and LR-TR categories (viable, nonviable, or equivocal), using ordinary arterial-phase and arterial subtraction images. The reference standard for tumor viability was surgical pathology. The sensitivity of APHE for diagnosing viable HCC was compared between ordinary arterial-phase and arterial subtraction images. The sensitivity and specificity of the LR-TR algorithm for diagnosing viable HCC was compared between the use of ordinary arterial-phase and the use of arterial subtraction images. Subgroup analysis was performed on lesions treated with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) only. Results: The sensitivity of APHE for viable HCCs was higher for arterial subtraction images than ordinary arterial-phase images (71.2% vs. 47.9%; p < 0.001). LR-TR viable category with the use of arterial subtraction images compared with ordinary arterial-phase images showed a significant increase in sensitivity (76.7% [56/73] vs. 63.0% [46/73]; p = 0.002) without significant decrease in specificity (90.6% [29/32] vs. 93.8% [30/32]; p > 0.999). In a subgroup of 63 lesions treated with TACE only, the use of arterial subtraction images showed a significant increase in sensitivity (81.4% [35/43] vs. 67.4% [29/43]; p = 0.031) without significant decrease in specificity (85.0% [17/20] vs. 90.0% [18/20]; p > 0.999). Conclusion: Use of arterial subtraction images compared with ordinary arterial-phase images improved the sensitivity while maintaining specificity for diagnosing viable HCC after LRT using gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI and the LR-TR algorithm.

본 논문에서는 PD 제어기와 신경회로망을 이용하여 3상 유도전동기의 속도제어 시스템을 구현하고자 한다. PD 제어기는 초기의 제어를 담당하며 신경회로망의 초기 학습을 담당한다. 또한, 신경회로망은 비선형 매핑능력과 학습능력이 탁월하기 때문에 제어기로 많이 사용되며 특히 전향경로 신경망은 구조가 매우 간단하기 때문에 본 논문에서는 이를 이용하여 유도전동기의 속도제어 시스템에 구현하였다. 신경회로망의 입력으로는 모터의 기준속도, 엔코더를 이용하여 측정한 모터의 실제 속도와 제어입력 전류를 이용하였고, 온라인 상태로 학습되도록 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 알고리즘의 타당성을 보이기 위해 기존에 널리 사용되었던 PI 제어기와 비교평가를 하였으며 시뮬레이션과 실험결과로부터 초기운전 상태에서는 PD 제어기가 주로 제어를 담당하지만 시간이 지남에 따라 신경회로망이 학습되어 신경회로망이 주 제어기가 됨을 확인하였다. 아울러, 제안된 하이브리드 제어기가 PI 제어기보다 우수하고 특히 부하변동과 같은 외란에 강인함을 알 수 있었으며, 정상상태 오차가 현저히 감소하여 정밀한 속도제어가 가능함을 확인하였다.

This study evaluates the performance of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in reproducing the present-day (1981~2005) precipitation over Far East Asia and South Korea. The WRF model is configured with 25-km horizontal resolution within the context of the COordinated Regional climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) - East Asia Phase 2. The initial and lateral boundary forcing for the WRF simulation are derived from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast Interim reanalysis. According to our results, WRF model shows a reasonable performance to reproduce the features of precipitation, such as seasonal climatology, annual and inter-annual variabilities, seasonal march of monsoon rainfall and extreme precipitation. In spite of such model's ability to simulate major features of precipitation, systematic biases are found in the downscaled simulation in some sub-regions and seasons. In particular, the WRF model systematically tends to overestimate (underestimate) precipitation over Far East Asia (South Korea), and relatively large biases are evident during the summer season. In terms of inter-annual variability, WRF shows an overall smaller (larger) standard deviation in the Far East Asia (South Korea) compared to observation. In addition, WRF overestimates the frequency and amount of weak precipitation, but underestimates those of heavy precipitation. Also, the number of wet days, the precipitation intensity above the 95 percentile, and consecutive wet days (consecutive dry days) are overestimated (underestimated) over eastern (western) part of South Korea. The results of this study can be used as reference data when providing information about projections of fine-scale climate change over East Asia.

본 논문에서는 잡음과 시간지연이 존재하며 시스템 파라미터가 변하는 비선형 비최소위상 시스템에 적응하는 신경회로망이 결합된 PID구조를 갖는 일반화 최소분산 자기동조제어기를 제안한다. PID구조를 갖는 자기동조는 PID제어기처럼 구조가 간단하고 계통을 정밀하게 제어하는 자기동조 제어기의 특성을 그대로 유지할 수 있다. 일반화 최소분산 자기동조 제어기 파라미터는 비선형 시스템을 선형시스템으로 간주하고 순환최소자승법으로 추정하며 설계계수의 값은 확률근사법인 Robbins-Monro 알고리듬을 이용하여 자동조정하였다. 역전파 학습 알고리듬을 사용하는 신경회로망 제어기는 비선형 부분의 제어를 보상하기 위해 필터된 기준입력과 필터된 플랜트 출력이 같도록 제어값을 출력한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 방법이 시스템의 파라미터가 변하는 비최소위상 시스템에 잘 적응함을 보였다.
