  • 최근 들어 홍수조절을 위한 대안으로 검토되기 시작한 천변저류지는 적은 저류용량으로 인해 목표하는 홍수저감효과를 얻기 위해 다수의 천변저류지가 설치되어야 하며, 이들 천변저류지군의 홍수조절효과는 저류지군을 연계한 수문네트워크의 분석에 의해 산정되어야 한다. 특히 천변저류지 등과 같은 소규모 수공구조물은 설계빈도, 저류지 제원 등과 같은 수문학적 및 수리학적 조건에 따라 홍수저감효과가 민감하게 반응한다. 즉 설계빈도 변화에 따른 천변저류지의 홍수조절효과를 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 목표하는 설계빈도 결정이 선행된 후, 천변저류지의 상세 제원에 대한 설계가 가능할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 설계빈도 변화에 따른 유역의 유입수문곡선변화가 천변저류지군의 홍수저감효과에 미치는 영향을 분석해 보았다. 이를 위해 천변저류지의 최적위치를 결정하기 위해 개발된 기존의 의사결정모형을 안성천 유역에 적용하여 다양한 설계빈도에 따른 천변저류지의 홍수저감효과를 분석해 보았다.

  • This paper presents a synchronous generator with a distributed system of multiple parallel three-phase power cells. This generator can immediately output high DC. Each power cell comprises three-phase windings and a three-phase synchronous rectification bridge with a deadbeat control of load power feedforward, which can improve the characteristics of dynamic response and reflect the load variance in real time. Furthermore, each power cell works well independently and modularly using the method of automatic maximum current sharing. The simulation and experimental results for the distributed controller of multiple power cells demonstrate that the deadbeat control method can respond quickly and optimize the quality of the energy. Meanwhile, automatic maximum current sharing can realize the validity of current sharing among power cells.

  • This paper describes the finite element model for predicting the fundamental performance of embedded steel column base connections under monotonic and cyclic loading. Geometric and material nonlinearities were included in the proposed finite element model. Bauschinger and pinching effects were considered in the simulation of embedded column base connections under cyclic loading. The degradation of steel yield strength and accumulation of plastic damage can be well simulated. The accuracy of the finite element model is examined by comparing the predicted results with independent experimental dataset. It is demonstrated that the finite element model accurately predicts the behaviour and failure models of the embedded steel column base connections. The finite element model is extended to carry out evaluations and parametric studies. The investigated parameters include column embedded length, concrete strength, axial load and base plate thickness. Moreover, analytical models for predicting the initial stiffness and bending moment strength of the embedded column base connection were developed. The comparison between results from analytical models and those from experiments and finite element analysis proved the developed analytical model was accurate and conservative for design purposes.

  • During the past decades, the application of acoustic emission techniques (AET) through the diagnosis and monitoring of the fracture process in materials has been attracting considerable attention. AET proved to be operative among the other non-destructive testing methods for various reasons including their practicality and cost-effectiveness. Concrete and rock structures often demand thorough and real-time assessment to predict and prevent their damage nucleation and evolution. This paper presents an overview of the work carried out on the use of AE as a monitoring technique to form a comprehensive insight into its potential application in brittle materials. Reported properties in this study are crack growth behavior, localization, damage evolution, dynamic character and structures monitoring. This literature review provides practicing engineers and researchers with the main AE procedures to follow when examining the possibility of failure in civil/resource structures that rely on brittle materials.

  • Two cultivars of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.), "Dinninup" and "Seaton Park" were sown at Shenton Park Field Station, Western Australia, in May 1992 and 1993. The characteristics of Dinninup related to animal production were compared with Seaton Park under grazing conditions with herbage utilization efficiencies of 60% in 1992 and 65% in 1993. The results showed that Dinninup and Seaton Park had similar dry matter digestibility (77-78%) and dry matter production (1,290 kg/ha in 1992; 930 kg/ha in 1993) before flowering initiation even though Dinninup had more (p<0.05) branches, leaves and petioles per plant. After flowering, the herbage on offer of Dinninup was higher (p<0.05) and dry matter digestibility was lower (p<0.05) than that of Seaton Park while the sward structure was similar for both cultivars. The variation in nutritive value among plant parts increased with maturation. Leaf was more digestible than stem and petiole with a higher nitrogen content, and stem had the lowest dry matter digesitibility and nitrogen content in late of the season. Sheep did not show any preference for Seaton Park over Dinninup. The predicted bodyweight gain of sheep grazing pure Seaton Park and Dinninup swards using Grazfed software indicated that sheep grazing Dinninup were predicted to have a similar bodyweight gain in early growing stage and a significantly lower gain after flowering compared with those grazing Seaton Park.

  • 노천에서 폭파실험을 통해 납판 발파압계의 변형량을 계측하였다. 홉킨슨 바 시험장치의 가스 건으로 압력 실험하여 구한 보정 그래프에 계측데이터를 적용하여 폭풍압을 산출하였다. 그 결과를 CONWEP, DDESB 등 여러 가지 폭풍압 예측식과 대비하였다. 근거리 폭풍압의 실 계측 값은 폭풍압 예측식의 결과보다 최대압력이 낮게 나타났지만 거리에 따른 압력감쇠는 폭풍압 예측식보다 완만한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 기존 이론식으로 추정한 초근접 지점의 발파압은 부정확함을 의미한다.

  • The aim of this study was to obtain the basic data on the fish school behavior change to approaching vessel and fish species identification by means of their swimming speed. The surveys were carried out for the juvenile southern blue fin tuna and other fish schools off Esperance, western Australia from January to March 1999. We observed changes of fish school behavior in response to the approaching vessel using 360-degree scanning sonar. The results showed that, a horizontal direction index used to quantify a change of fish school behavior did not identify dependence of a radial distance and a swimming speed. A Mann­Whitney test conducted using the horizontal swimming speed of both species identified by sonar specialists, did not reveal a significant difference.

  • IC 10 is one of the most well-known irregular starburst dwarf galaxies in the Local Group. Its low metal and oxygen abundance together with proximity make it an excellent laboratory to test star formation models, especially in low-metallicity systems like galaxies in the early Universe as well as many other local dwarfs. Among a number of active star forming regions, we have detected H2O kilo-maser emission in the south-east region of IC 10(IC 10 SE) using the Korean VLBI Network(KVN). This maser line is likely to be associated with a giant molecular cloud identified in IC 10 SE by former CO studies. Using the HI and CO data from the VLA and SMA archive, we probe the atomic and molecular gas properties of IC 10 SE. We discuss how the cool gas morphology and kinematics are related with maser and star formation activity in IC 10 SE.

  • Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies (BCDs) are low-mass galaxies with recently enhanced star formation activity. Since the discovery of old stellar population in the BCDs, a number of hypotheses have been suggested as the origin of the current active star formation. One theory is tidal interactions such as fly-by and merger. In this study we test this hypothesis using a pair of BCDs, ESO 435-IG20 and ESO 435-IG16 that are separate by only ~80 kpc in projection at a similar redshift (at a ~9 Mpc distance). In the HIPASS survey, intergalactic atomic hydrogen envelope has been found to be covering both galaxies, making the pair a good candidate for the case where the star formation has been triggered by tidal interaction. We probe the gas morphology and kinematics of the BCD pair using ATCA HI data in order to find the evidence of tidal interaction. We also estimate star formation rates in the pair based on Ha emission and UV continuum, and compare with other dwarf galaxies to investigate how responsible the tidal interaction is for the enhanced star formation in this case.

  • 강변저류지는 국내에서 천변저류지라는 이름으로 2000년 초반부터 관련 연구가 시작되었으며, 기존의 하천연안 저지대 및 홍수터를 활용하여 제방의 일부 구간에 취수부를 설치, 하천의 계획홍수를 초가하거나 일정수위 이상의 홍수가 발생할 때 초과하는 홍수량을 저류하여 하류의 첨두홍수를 저감시키는 소규모 수공구조물이다. 이러한 강변저류지는 off-line 형식으로 2차원적인 홍수량 분담을 통해 홍수량을 조절하여, 홍수조절효과가 확실하고 그 효과가 즉시 나타나는 특징이 있다. 또한 한 대상유역 내에 다수의 대상지역이 존재하게 된다. 하지만 이들 후 보지 전체에 강변저류지를 설치하는 것은 다수의 제약조건에 의해 불가능하며 대상유역의 어느 후보지에 강변저류지를 설치한다는 문제를 해결하기위해 기존에 수행되었던 연구들은 각각의 장단점이 있으며 이들 연구의 가장 큰 문제는 의사결정을 위해 사용되는 변수의 통합과정에서 발생될 수 있는 오류가 있다는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 다수의 기준과 변수에 의해 결정되어진 강변저류지의 설치 우선순위들을 다차원척도법(Multi-Dimensional Scaling)를 이용하여 최종적인 하나의 순위를 도출하는 것으로 기존에 수행되었던 연구결과의 장점을 포함하며, 보다 많은 변수를 고려할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다.
