Impact from water-borne debris during tsunami and flood events pose a potential threat to structures. Debris impact forces specified by current codes and standards are based on rigid body dynamics, leading to forces that are dependent on total debris mass. However, shipping containers and other debris are unlikely to be rigid compared to the walls, columns and other structures that they impact. The application of a simple one-dimensional model to obtain impact force magnitude and duration, based on acoustic wave propagation in a flexible projectile, is explored. The focus herein is on in-air impact. Based on small-scale experiments, the applicability of the model to predict actual impact forces is investigated. The tests show that the force and duration are reasonably well represented by the simple model, but they also show how actual impact differs from the ideal model. A more detailed three-dimensional finite element model is also developed to understand more clearly the physical phenomena involved in the experimental tests. The tests and the FE results reveal important characteristics of actual impact, knowledge of which can be used to guide larger scale experiments and detailed modeling. The one-dimensional model is extended to consider water-driven debris as well. When fluid is used to propel the 1-D model, an estimate of the 'added mass' effect is possible. In this extended model the debris impact force depends on the wave propagation in the two media, and the conditions under which the fluid increases the impact force are discussed.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the torsional and cyclic fatigue resistance of ProGlider (PG), WaveOne Gold Glider (WGG), and TruNatomy Glider (TNG). Materials and Methods: A total of 15 instruments of each glide path system (n = 15) were used for each test. A custom-made device simulating an angle of 90° and a radius of 5 millimeters was used to assess cyclic fatigue resistance, with calculation of number of cycles to failure. Torsional fatigue resistance was assessed by maximum torque and angle of rotation. Fractured instruments were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were analyzed with Shapiro-Wilk and Kruskal-Wallis tests, and the significance level was set at 5%. Results: The WGG group showed greater cyclic fatigue resistance than the PG and TNG groups (p < 0.05). In the torsional fatigue test, the TNG group showed a higher angle of rotation, followed by the PG and WGG groups (p < 0.05). The TNG group was superior to the PG group in torsional resistance (p < 0.05). SEM analysis revealed ductile morphology, typical of the 2 fracture modes: cyclic fatigue and torsional fatigue. Conclusions: Reciprocating WGG instruments showed greater cyclic fatigue resistance, while TNG instruments were better in torsional fatigue resistance. The significance of these findings lies in the identification of the instruments' clinical applicability to guide the choice of the most appropriate instrument and enable the clinician to provide a more predictable glide path preparation.

In this paper, to substitute the existing TWTA(Travailing Wave Tube Amplifier) component in small radar system, we developed the Ku band SSPA(Solid-State Power Amplifier) based on the fabrication of power MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) chips. For the development of the 500 W SSPA, the 40 W-grade power MMIC was designed by ADS(Advanced Design System) at Keysight company with UMS GH015 library, and was processed by UMS foundry service. And 70 W main power modules were achieved the 2-way T-junction combiner method by using the 40 W-grade power MMICs. Finally, the 500 W SSPA was fabricated by the wave guide type power divider between the drive power amplifier and power modules, and power combiner with same type between power modules and output port. The electrical properties of this SSPA had 504 W output power, -58.11 dBc spurious, 1.74 °/us phase variation, and -143 dBm/Hz noise level.

본 연구에서는 입자질량고적재(high particle mass loading)의 경우가 전혀 고려되지 않았으며, 이것은 물론 임팩터가 사용되는 대부분의 경우, 즉, 대기중입자를 포집하는 경우에 입자의 적재량이 미소하기 때문이다. 그러나 임팩터 혹은 이와 유 사한 기능을 하는 장치의 응용은 매우 광범위하여 이중에는, OWG(optical wave guide) 제작이나 페인트 스프레이(paint spray) 또 입자공급장치에서 큰 입자를 걸러 낼 때와 같이, 입자의 적재량이 큰 경우도 적지 않다. 이러한 입자질량 고적재인 경우에는 입자운동이 기체유동장을 변화시키며 이에 따라 입자운동 자체도 변화되어진다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 관계를 분석하여 입자질량의 적재량정도가 입자의 포집효율에 미치 는 영향을 밝혀내었다.

DWDM(DensedWavelengthDivisionMultiplexing)은 광 파이버를 이용하여 기존의 통신보다 높은 대역폭(B/W)을 얻기 위한 기술로 여러 신호를 각각 다른 파장으로 변조해 하나의 Fiber 를 통해 전송하는 방식이며, 기본적으로 EDFA(Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier), AWG(Arrayed Wave guide Grating), OADM(Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer) 등의 주요 부품과 여러 광 관련 부품들로 구성돼 있으며, 다수의 파장을 MUX(AWG)에서 다중화하고, 장거리 전송을 위해 OA(EDFA)에서 광신호를 증폭하게 된다 그리고 일부 특정 파장만 Add/Drop하기 위해 OADM이 놓이게 되며, 또한 선로(광섬유)의 손실을 보상하기 위해 필요한 구간에 리피터(EDFA)를 두어 광신호를 증폭 송신하며 수신단에서는 들어오는 여러 파장을 OA(EDFA)를 통해 증폭한 후 DEMUX(AWG)에서 역 다중화해 수신하게 된다. 이와 같은 DWDM방식을 이용한 Network는 Star, Mesh, Ring 등의 다양한 형태로 구성될 수 있으며, 초기에는 Point-to-Point 방식의 장거리 전송에 주로 사용돼 왔으나 Metro 구간의 Traffic 이 급격히 증가하면서 Metro- DWDM Network 이 부각되고 있어 본 논문에서는 현재 SK Telecom에서 상용화되고 있는 1,600G DWDM과 Metro-DWDM간의 망 구축의 최적화 방안을 연구해 본다.

항공기 등은 미사일의 추적을 피하기 위해 대응능력(countermeasure)으로 섬광탄(flare)을 운용한다. 일반적으로 적외선 섬광탄은 표적에 비해 높은 방사 에너지를 방출하여, 미사일이 표적 대신 섬광탄을 추적하도록 설계된다. 따라서 섬광탄이 존재하는 상황하에서 표적을 정확하게 추적하기 위해서는 섬광탄 및 배경 등으로부터 표적신호를 분리하여 표적을 인식해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 섬광탄의 영항을 배제하고 정확히 표적을 추적하기 위해 자외선 및 적외선 대역을 이용하는 2-color 로젯 주사 탐색기(rosette scan seeker)를 시뮬레이션 하였다. 각 대역에서 얻어진 표적 및 섬광탄, 구름 신호 특성을 분석하였으며, 이로부터 표적을 정확히 검출함을 확인하였다.

For the site characterization at two representative inland areas, Gyeongju and Hongsung, in Korea, in-situ seismic tests containing boring investigations and resonant column tests were performed and site-specific ground response analyses were conducted using equivalent linear as well as nonlinear scheme. The soil deposits in Korea were shallower and stiffer than those in the western US, from which the site classification system and site coefficients in Korea were derived. Most sites were categorized as site classes C and D based on the mean shear wave velocity to 30 m, Vs30 ranging between 250 and 650 m/s. Based on the acceleration response spectra determined from the site-specific analyses, the site coefficients specified in the Korean seismic design guide underestimate the ground motion in the short-period band and overestimate the ground motion in mid-period band. These differences can be explained by the differences in the bedrock depth and the soil stiffness profile between Korea and western US. The site coefficients were re-evaluated and the preliminary site classification system was introduced accounting for the local geologic conditions on the Korean peninsula.

As art of lamination by plywood got to be generally used, it became a suitable material for expressing live curves that were not able to be expressed on wood furniture made of plank and timber, as well as, openwork deep in curved space, heavy quality of material, and changing contour line-looking wave lines with different process angles. As an alternative, it would be good to build a full scale model, since it would provide practice in form-building and it would also provide a chance to correct the form. Less material can be used and reduce the cutting process by Properly trimming models made of soft formal structure such as Styrofoam Iso-pink and adhesive Styrofoam, and separating the layers and using them on shape cutting of plywood with the same thickness. And by attaching the model veneer that was used in shape cutting of the model and using it as a cutting guide, we can reduce the error of work and successively build the planned form. Since this study is about the need of a full scale model for a laminated wood model and an efficient process, this study concentrates more on process.

The impact of the next influenza pandemic is difficult to predict. It is dependent on how virulent the virus is, how rapidly it spreads from population to population, and the effectiveness of prevention and response efforts. Despite the uncertainty about the magnitude of the next pandemic, estimates of the health and economic impact remain important to aid public health policy decisions and guide pandemic planning for health and emergency sectors. Planning ahead in preparation for an influenza pandemic, with its potentially very high morbidity and mortality rates, is essential for hospital administrators and public health officials. The estimat ion of pandemic impact is based on the previous pandemics- we had experienced at least 3 pandemics in 20th century. But the epidemiologi cal characteristics - ie, start season, the impact of 1st wave, pathogenicity and virulence of the viruses and the primary victims of population were quite different from one another. I reviewed methodology for estimation and modelling of pandemic impact and described some nations's results using them in their national preparedness plans. And then I showed the estimates of pandemic influenza impact in Korea with FluSurge and FluAid. And, I described the results of pandemic modelling with parameters of 1918 pandemic for the shake of education and training of the first-line responder health officials to the epidemics. In preparing influenza pandemics, the simulation and modelling are the keys to reduce the uncertainty of the future and to make proper policies to manage and control the pandemics.

Adaptive Optical (AO) technology can compensate for wave-front errors in real-time to improve image and beam quality. The research and development on AO in China began in 1979. In 1980, the first laboratory on AO in China was established in Institute of Optics and Electronics (IOE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Since then several AO systems have been built in this Laboratory. The 19-element system is the first AO system in the world ever used in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) facility in our knowledge. It corrects the static error of this large laser engineering. The 21-element system was firstly tested at the 1.2m telescope of Kunming Observatory in 1990 and then up-dated as an IR AO system installed at the 2.16m telescope of Beijing Observatory. The 37-element system was used with a turbulence cell in Laboratory on Atmospheric Optics in Hefei to conduct elementary research on Atmospheric Optics. The 61-element system for astronomical observation is newly developed. It has been successfully installed at the 1.2m telescope of Kunming Observatory and a laser guide star system will be integrated with the system. A compact AO system using our newly developed miniature DM for high resolution ophthalmic imaging of retina is also being built. The key elements of these AO systems, deformable mirrors and fast-steering mirrors, are all developed in this Laboratory. In this talk, the main configurations of these AO systems, some test results as well as the specifications of these active mirrors will be presented.
