When evaluating energy balance and temperature in reduced-scale fire experiments, which are conducted as an alternative to full-scale fire experiments, it is important to consider the similarity in the scale among these experiments. In this paper, a method considering the similarity of energy balance is proposed for setting the conditions for reduced-scale experiments of mechanically ventilated compartment fires. A small-scale fire experiment consisting of various cases with different compartment geometries (aspect ratios between 0.2 and 4.7) and heights of vents and fire sources was conducted under mechanical ventilation, and the energy balance in the quasi-steady state was evaluated. The results indicate the following: (1) although the compartment geometry varies the energy balance in a mechanically ventilated compartment, the variation in the energy balance can be evaluated irrespective of the compartment size and geometry by considering scaling factor F (∝h_effA_wR_T, where h_eff is the effective heat transfer coefficient, A_w is the total wall area, and R_T is the ratio of the spatial mean gas temperature to the exhaust temperature); (2) the value of R_T, which is a part of F, reflects the effects of the compartment geometry and corresponds to the distributions of the gas temperature and wall heat loss.

Due to functional requirements, SRC column-RC beam abnormal joints with characteristics of strong beam weak column, variable column section, unequal beam height and staggered height exist in the Steel reinforced concrete (SRC) frame-bent main building structure of thermal power plant (TPP). This paper presents the experimental results of these abnormal joints through cyclic loading tests on five specimens with scaling factor of 1/5. The staggered height and whether adding H-shaped steel in beam or not were changing parameters of specimens. The failure patterns, bearing capacity, energy dissipation and ductile performance were analyzed. In addition, the stress mechanism of the abnormal joint was discussed based on the diagonal strut model. The research results showed that the abnormal exterior joints occurred shear failure and column end hinge flexural failure; reducing beam height through adding H-shaped steel in the beam of abnormal exterior joint could improve the crack resistance and ductility; the abnormal interior joints with different staggered heights occurred column ends flexural failure; the joint with larger staggered height had the higher bearing capacity and stiffness, but lower ductility. The concrete compression strut mechanism is still applicable to the abnormal joints in TPP, but it is affected by the abnormal characteristics.

The soft clays are widely distributed, and one of the prominent engineering problems is the creep behavior. In order to predict the creep deformation of soft clays in an easier and more acceptable way, a simple creep constitutive model has been proposed in this paper. Firstly, the triaxial creep test data indicated that, the strain-time (𝜀-t) curve showing in the 𝜀-lgt space can be divided into two lines with different slopes, and the time referring to the demarcation point is named as t_EOP. Thereafter, the strain increments occurred after the time t_EOP are totally assumed to be the creep components, and the elastic and plastic strains had occurred before t_EOP. A hyperbolic equation expressing the relationship between creep volumetric strain, stress and time is proposed, with several triaxial creep test data of soft clays verifying the applicability. Additionally, the creep flow law is suggested to be similar with the plastic flow law of the modified Cam-Clay model, and the proposed volumetric strain equation is used to deduced the scaling factor for creep strains. Therefore, a creep constitutive model is thereby established, and verified by successfully predicting the creep principal strains of triaxial specimens.

In this paper, we present a fatigue life prediction methodology using multiple S-N curves according to the different stress states of laminated composites. The stress states of the plies of the laminated composites are classified into five modes: longitudinal tension or compression and transverse tension or compression, and shear according to the maximum stress criterion and Puck's criterion with a scaling factor K. This methodology has advantages in computational cost, and it can also consider microstructural characteristics of the composites by applying different S-N curves. The S-N curves for the fatigue analysis are obtained by experimental fatigue test. The proposed methodol is implemented into commercial software, ABAQUS user material subroutine and therefore, the fatigue analysis is conducted using the structural analysis results. The finite element (FE) simulation results are presented for unidirectional composites with and without open-hole. The FE simulation results show that the stress condition is different depending on the fiber orientation of the unidirectional composite, so the fatigue life is calculated with different S-N curves.

연구개발 및 정부의 연구개발지원의 성과에 대한 실증연구결과의 중요성에도 불구하고 연구개발투자의 생산성에 대한 영향을 분석하는 계량모형에 관한 논의는 상대적으로 활발하지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 연구개발투자의 생산성에 관한 기존 실증분석연구에서 활용한 계량모형들을 비교하여 모형의 장단점을 논하며 최근 발전된 관련 계량모형을 논함으로써 향후 응용연구에서 모형설정에 필요한 정보를 제공하고자 한다. 특히 기존 연구에서 가정하였던 연구개발투자와 생산성의 관계에 단조성을 완화하여 비단조성을 추정할 수 있는 모형을 소개하고 이를 기반으로 단조성 가정에 대한 검정방법을 논한다. 광공업통계DB에 있는 기업자료 및 OECD국가 패널자료에 논의한 계량모형을 적용함으로써 모형특성의 차이에 따른 추정결과의 차이점을 논한다.

WSOLA 방식은 음성 신호의 시간축 변환을 위한 고음질의 효율적인 알고리즘으로 알려져 있다. WSOLA의 계산량은 두 신호 파형 사이의 유사도를 평가하는 반복적인 정규상호상관도 계산에 집중되어 있다. 본 논문은 WSOLA 계산량 감축을 위해 고속의 정규상호상관도 계산 방법을 제안하며, 제안된 방법에서는 미리 계산된 합 테이블을 통해 인접한 구간에서의 반복적인 정규상호상관도 계산의 중복성을 제거한다. 정규상호상관도의 분모 부분은 시간축 변환 비율에 관계없이 높은 중복성을 가지는데 반해, 분자 부분은 보다 낮은 중복성을 가지며 중복 정도가 시간축 변환 비율과 최적 이동값에 의해 영향을 받기 때문에 고속 계산을 위해 보다 복잡한 알고리즘이 요구된다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안된 방법이 기존의 WSOLA와 완전히 동일한 음질을 유지하면서도 시간축 압축의 경우 약 40%, 그리고 1/2배속 및 1/3배속으로의 시간축 신장의 경우 각각 약 47% 및 52%의 실행시간을 감소시킴을 보인다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of performing a cognitive task during treadmill walking on the stride rate variability. Ten university students(age $24.0{\pm}0.25$, height $172{\pm}3.1cm$, weight $66{\pm}5.3kg$) were participated in dual task experiments which consist of both walking alone and walking with a cognitive task. Two-back task was selected for the cognitive task since it did not have learning effect during the experimental procedure.3D motion analysis system was used to measure subject's position data by changing walking speed with 4.8, 5.6, 6.4, 6.8, and 7.2 km/hr. Stride rate was calculated by the time between heel contact and heel contact. Accuracy rate of a cognitive task during walking, coefficient of variance, allometric scaling methods and Fano factor were used to estimated the stride rate variability. As the walking speed increased, accuracy rate decreased and the logarithmic value of Fano factor increased which showed the statistical difference. Thus it can be concluded that the gait control mechanism is distracted by the secondary attention focus which is the cognitive task ie. two-back task. Further study is needed to clarify this by increasing the number of subject and experiment time.

본 논문은 DVB-S2 기반 고속 LDPC 복호를 하기 위한 효율적인 CNU(Check Node Update) 계산방식에 대해 분석하였다. LDPC의 복호 속도는 CNU 계산 과정에 의존한다. 기존의 CNU 계산방식에서 LUT를 고려한 SP(Sum-Product)방식은 속도가 늦어지는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 SC-NMS(Self-Corrected Normalized Min-Sum) 방식을 제안한다. LUT 연산을 제거한 MS(Min-Sum) 방식에 정규화 계수 '${\alpha}$'를 곱하는 Normalized Min-Sum(NMS) 방식은 MP 방식보다 성능은 약간 감소하지만 critical path를 없애고 클럭 주기를 줄일 수 있어 구현에 있어서 고속화를 위한 효율적인 CNU 계산방식이다. 또한, 복호과정에서 반복 시 이전 반복에서의 엣지 값과 현재 반복에서의 엣지 값을 비교하여 부호가 바뀌면 신뢰성이 없음을 간주하여 현재 엣지에 "0"을 할당하는 SC(Self-Corrected) 방식을 연구하였다. SC-NMS 방식을 적용하여 시뮬레이션 한 결과, SC-NMS 방식은 SP 방식에 비해 0.1dB의 성능열화를 보였지만, 계산의 복잡도와 복호 속도를 고려했을 때, SC-NMS 방식이 최적의 CNU 계산 방식이라는 것을 확인하였다.
