  • Landslides, failure of slope stability by natural or artificial factors, occur loss of life and properties. Recently, landslides hazard area predict statistical methods and field measurements, but there are so many difficulties to find the occurrence system because of its complexity. To predict the landslide harvard region, model area is the Seodong in Pusan where occurred landslides. Database of ground height made the each topography in map scale of 1 : 25,000, 1 : 10,000, 1 : 5,000 and 1 : 1,200. Authors knew to landslide hazard area by the weight of ground height data and slope angle data. Finally, aerial photo analysis is possible find landslide hazard area.

  • The typhoon wind characteristics designing for buildings or bridges located in complex terrain and typhoon prone region normally cannot be achieved by the very often few field measurement data, or by physical simulation in wind tunnel. This study proposes a numerical simulation procedure for predicting directional typhoon design wind speeds and profiles for sites over complex terrain by integrating typhoon wind field model, Monte Carlo simulation technique, CFD simulation and artificial neural networks (ANN). The site of Stonecutters Bridge in Hong Kong is chosen as a case study to examine the feasibility of the proposed numerical simulation procedure. Directional typhoon wind fields on the upstream of complex terrain are first generated by using typhoon wind field model together with Monte Carlo simulation method. Then, ANN for predicting directional typhoon wind field at the site are trained using representative directional typhoon wind fields for upstream and these at the site obtained from CFD simulation. Finally, based on the trained ANN model, thousands of directional typhoon wind fields for the site can be generated, and the directional design wind speeds by using extreme wind speed analysis and the directional averaged mean wind profiles can be produced for the site. The case study demonstrated that the proposed procedure is feasible and applicable, and that the effects of complex terrain on design typhoon wind speeds and wind profiles are significant.

  • To visualize electrical activities in the cerebral cortex, we develop the 3D topographic mapping system based on PC. For this work, we utilize OpenGL tool and an optimized interpolation method known as 3D barycentric algotithm, which has a little computational complexity. OpenGL processes the 3D coordinates, and 3D barycentric algotithm interpolates to get overall EEGs with EEGs measured from finite electrodes on 3D. To prove validity of this algorithm on the PC-based system, we developped Windows-based 3D topographic mapping program using the Barycentric algorithm. The result showed that the performance of this system is comparable to that of workstation in terms of speed and precision. Also, the result of clinical test was the same as that of a EEG technician's analysis.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop landslide susceptibility analysis techniques using artificial neural networks and then to apply these to the selected study area of Janghung in Korea. We aimed to verify the effect of data selection on training sites. Landslide locations were identified from interpretation of satellite images and field survey data, and a spatial database of the topography, soil, forest, and land use was constructed. Thirteen landslide-related factors were extracted from the spatial database. Using these factors, landslide susceptibility was analyzed using an artificial neural network. The weights of each factor were determined by the back-propagation training method. Five different training datasets were applied to analyze and verify the effect of training. Then, the landslide susceptibility indices were calculated using the trained back-propagation weights and susceptibility maps were constructed from Geographic Information System (GIS) data for the five cases. The results of the landslide susceptibility maps were verified and compared using landslide location data. GIS data were used to efficiently analyze the large volume of data, and the artificial neural network proved to be an effective tool to analyze landslide susceptibility.

  • 해저 해빈모래가 다량 유실되어 이 지역의 장기관리를 위해 침식구간에 대한 지속적인 모니터링 작업이 필요하다. 그러나 각 구청은 지형변화 분석 작업 없이, 양빈작업에 급급하고 있어 장기효과가 나타나지 않고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구는 수심측량 및 GPS 측량을 통해 해저 해빈지대의 정확한 공간자료를 구축, RS GIS 기법을 도입하여 지형변화를 정량 정성적으로 탐지 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 해운대 해저지형은 과도한 도시개발과 하천복개공사로 지난 25년간, 평균수심 0.40m, 수표면적 $11,028m^2$, 수중체적 $2,207,884m^3$ 가량 침식되었다. 해빈지형은 지난 5년간, 평균고도 0.27m, 총면적 $6,501m^2$, 총체적 $25,667m^3$ 가량 퇴적되었다. 이의 원인은 지오그리드의 설치로 해빈모래가 서측까지 도달하지 못하고, 계절영향으로 사료된다. 본 연구는 해저 해빈지형의 정확한 측량작업으로 해안 및 지형변화에 관한 모니터링 작업을 실시하여 연안침식 현황을 분석하고, 양빈작업 및 안전한 해양레저 활동, 해수욕장 관리에 필요한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • In applications such as MEMS and NEMS devices, the adhesion force and contact load may be of the same order of magnitude and the static friction coefficient can be very large. Such large coefficient may result in unacceptable and possibly catastrophic adhesion, stiction, friction and wear. To obtain the static friction coefficient of contacting real surfaces without the assumption of an empirical coefficient value, numerical simulations of the contact load, tangential force, and adhesion force are preformed. The surfaces in dry contact are statistically modeled by a collection of spherical asperities with Gaussian height distribution. The asperity micro-contact model utilized in calculation (the ZMC model), considers the transition from elastic deformation to fully plastic flow of the contacting asperity. The force approach of the modified DMT model using the Lennard-Jones attractive potential is applied to characterize the intermolecular forces. The effect of the surface topography on the static friction coefficient is investigated for cases rough, intermediate, smooth, and very smooth, respectively. Results of the static friction coefficient versus the external force are presented for a wide range of plasticity index and surface energy, respectively. Compared with those obtained by the GW and CEB models, the ZMC model is more complete in calculating the static friction coefficient of rough surfaces.

  • Ultrasonic atomic force microscopy (Ultrasonic-AFM) has been used to investigate the elastic property of the ultra-thin coating layer in a thin-film system. The modified Hertzian theory was applied to predict the contact resonance frequency through accurate theoretical analysis of the dynamic characteristics of the cantilever. We coat 200 nm thick Aluminum and Titanium thin films on the substrate using the DC Magnetron sputtering method. The amplitude and phase of the contact resonance frequency of a vibrating cantilever varies in response to the local stiffness constant. Ultrasonic-AFM images were obtained using the variations in the elastic property of the materials. The morphology of the surface was clearly observed in the Ultrasonic-AFM images, but was barely visible in the topography. This research demonstrates that Ultrasonic-AFM is a promising technique for visualizing the distribution of local stiffness in the nano-scale thin coatings.
