The use of Tuned mass dampers (TMD) has proved to be effective in reducing the effects of vibrations caused by wind loads and far-field seismic action. However, its effectiveness in controlling the dynamic response of structures under near-fault earthquakes is still under discussion. In this case, the uncertainty about the TMD performance arises from the short significant duration of near-fault ground motions. In this work, the TMD effectiveness for increasing the safety margin against collapse of structures subjected to near-fault earthquakes is investigated. In order to evaluate the TMD performance in the proposed scenario, the nonlinear dynamic response of two reinforced concrete (RC) frames was analyzed. TMDs with different mass values were added to these structures, and a set of near-fault records with frequency content close to the fundamental frequency of the structure was employed. Through a series of nonlinear dynamic analysis, the minimum amplitude of each seismic record that causes the structural collapse was found. By comparing this value, called collapse acceleration, for the case of the structures with and without TMD, the benefit produced by the addition of the control device was established.

Low-frequency geological natural disaster events such as Pohang earthquake have been occurred. As a results, there's a growing recognition on the importance of education and training for low frequency geological disasters in Korea. In spite of many years of scientific researches on volcanic disaster prevention and preparedness on Baekdusan volcano, the results do not provide the proper scenario for the training for volcanic ash event. Fall 3D volcanic ash diffusion model was run based on wind field data for the last five year, assuming Aso Mountain's explosion with volcanic explosion index 5 for seventy two hours. The management criteria values for proper actions in the previous studies were applied to make a scenario for thirteen groups of the disaster response teams such as train transportation, water supply, electrical facilities and human health. The models on the relationship between education and training for disaster prevention and response were suggested to fulfill the scientific and practical training at local level.

This paper presents a multiple parameters-based recursive methodology for the reliability quantification of civil structures subjected to meteorological disasters. Recognizing the challenge associated with characterizing at a single stroke all the meteorological disasters that may hit a structure during its service life, the proposed methodology by contrast features a multiparameter recursive mechanism to describe the meteorological demand of the structure. The benefit of the arrangements is that the essentially inevitable deviation of the practically observed meteorological data from those in the existing model can be mitigated in an adaptive manner. In particular, the implications of potential climate change to the relevant reliability of civil structures are allowed for. The application of the formulated methodology of recursive reliability quantification is illustrated by first considering the reliability quantification of a linear shear frame against simulated strong wind loads. A parametric study is engaged in this application to examine the effect of some hyperparameters in the configured hierarchical model. Further, the application is extended to a nonlinear hysteretic shear frame involving some field-observed cyclone data, and the incompleteness of the relevant structural diagnosis data that may arise in reality is taken into account. Also investigated is another application scenario where the reliability of a building envelope is assessed under hailstone impacts, and the emphasis is to demonstrate the recursive incorporation of newly obtained meteorological data.

The flow around a high-speed train with three underbody structures in the bogie area is numerically investigated using the improved delayed detached eddy simulation method. The vortex structure, pressure distribution, flow field structure, and unsteady velocity of the wake are analyzed by vortex identification criteria Q, frequency spectral analysis, empirical mode decomposition (EMD), and Hilbert spectral analysis. The results show that the structures of the bogie and its installation cabin reduce the momentum of fluid near the tail car, thus it is easy to induce flow separation and make the fluid no longer adhere to the side surface of the train, then forming vortices. Under the action of the vortices on the side of the tail car, the wake vortices have a trend of spanwise motion. But the deflector structure can prevent the separation on the side of the tail car. Besides, the bogie fairings do not affect the formation process and mechanism of the wake vortices, but the fairings prevent the low-speed fluid in the bogie installation cabin from flowing to the side of the train and reduce the number of the vortices in the wake region.

This work investigates the subcritical free-shear prism wake at Re=22,000 by the Koopman analysis using the Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) algorithm. The Koopman model linearized nonlinearities in the stochastic, homogeneous anisotropic turbulent wake, generating temporally orthogonal eigen tuples that carry meaningful, coherent structures. Phenomenological analysis of dominant modes revealed their physical interpretations: Mode 1 renders the mean-field dynamics, Modes 2 describes the roll-up of the Strouhal vortex, Mode 3 describes the Bloor-Gerrard vortex resulting from the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability inside shear layers, its superposition onto the Strouhal vortex, and the concurrent flow entrainment, Modes 6 and 10 describe the low-frequency shedding of turbulent separation bubbles (TSBs) and turbulence production, respectively, which contribute to the beating phenomenon in the lift time history and the flapping motion of shear layers, Modes 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9 are the relatively trivial harmonic excitations. This work demonstrates the Koopman analysis' ability to provide insights into free-shear flows. Its success in subcritical turbulence also serves as an excellent reference for applications in other nonlinear, stochastic systems.

Directional felling is a felling method practised by the Forestry Department in Peninsular Malaysia as prescribed in Field Work Manual (1997) for Selective Management Systems (SMS) in forest harvesting. Determining the direction of tree felling in Peninsular Malaysia is conducted during the pre-felling inventory 1 to 2 years before the felling operation. This study aimed to predict and analyze the direction of tree felling using the vector-based path distance back link method in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and compare it with the felling direction observed on the ground. The study area is at Balah Forest Reserve, Kelantan, Peninsular Malaysia. A Path Distance Back Link (spatial analyst) function in ArcGIS Pro 3.0 was used in predicting tree felling direction. Meanwhile, a binary classification was used to compare the felling direction estimated using GIS and the tree felling direction observed on the ground. Results revealed that 61.3% of 31 trees predicted using the vector-based projection method were similar to the felling direction observed on the ground. It is important to note that dynamic changes of natural constraints might occur in the middle of tree felling operation, such as weather problems, wind speed, and unpredicted tree falling direction.

A Macroscopic combination of two or more distinct materials is commonly referred to as a "Composite Material", having been designed mechanically and chemically superior in function and characteristic than its individual constituent materials. Composite materials are used not only for aerospace and military, but also heavily used in boat/ship building and general composite industries which we are seeing increasingly more. Regardless of the various applications for composite materials, the industry is still limited and requires better fabrication technology and methodology in order to expand and grow. An example of this is that the majority of fabrication facilities nearby still use an antiquated wet lay-up process where fabrication still requires manual hand labor in a 3D environment impeding productivity of composite product design advancement. As an expert in the advanced composites field, I have developed fabrication skills with the use of machinery based on my past composite experience. In autumn 2011, the Korea government confirmed to fund my project. It is the development of a composite sanding machine. I began development of this semi-robotic prototype beginning in 2009. It has possibilities of replacing or augmenting the exhaustive and difficult jobs performed by human hands, such as sanding, grinding, blasting, and polishing in most often, very awkward conditions, and is also will boost productivity, improve surface quality, cut abrasive costs, eliminate vibration injuries, and protect workers from exposure to dust and airborne contamination. Ease of control and operation of the equipment in or outside of the sanding room is a key benefit to end-users. It will prove to be much more economical than normal robotics and minimize errors that commonly occur in factories. The key components and their technologies are a 360 degree rotational shoulder and a wrist that is controlled under PLC controller and joystick manual mode. Development on both of the key modules is complete and are now operational. The Korean government fund boosted my development and I expect to complete full scale development no later than 3rd quarter 2012. Even with the advantages of composite materials, there is still the need to repair or to maintain composite products with a higher level of technology. I have learned many composite repair skills on composite airframe since many composite fabrication skills including repair, requires training for non aerospace applications. The wind energy market is now requiring much larger blades in order to generate more electrical energy for wind farms. One single blade is commonly 50 meters or longer now. When a wind blade becomes damaged from external forces, on-site repair is required on the columns even under strong wind and freezing temperature conditions. In order to correctly obtain polymerization, the repair must be performed on the damaged area within a very limited time. The use of pre-impregnated glass fabric and heating silicone pad and a hot bonder acting precise heating control are surely required.

서남해에서 해상풍력구조물의 건설에 따른 해저지형변화를 예측하기 위하여, 조석, 조류, 부유사 그리고 해저질 등에 대한 현장조사를 수행하였고, 이들 자료를 수치실험에 활용될 수 있도록 하였다. 수치실험에서 표사량 산정은 관련 상수를 시행착오적으로 변화시켜 관측된 부유사농도에 대해 계산치의 오차가 적당할 때에 경험상수들을 결정하는 방법을 사용하였는데, 어떤 농도분포인자가 0.1 그리고 부유사 평형농도 공식의 비례상수가 0.05일 때, 관측치와 계산치가 합리적으로 유사하였다. 부유사농도에 관한 개경계조건은 관측된 부유사농도에 대해 남동측 경계점에서 11.0배, 남서측 경계점에서 0.5배, 서북측 경계점에서 1.0배, 북서측 경계점에서 1.0배 그리고 북동측 경계점에서 1.0배이었을 때, 개경계와 서로 인접한 계산영역 내의 수심변화 계산결과가 단속적이지 않고 매끄럽게 나타났다. 그리고 연간침식퇴적량은 해상풍력 구조물의 건설전후에 대하여 그 변화가 ± 1 cm 이상 발생하는 해역은 거의 나타나지 않았는데, 사용된 대격자 수치모형은 세굴과 같은 국지적 현상을 재현할 수 없고, 해상풍력 하부구조물이 직경 1 m 정도의 자켓타입의 투과식이어서 이들에 의하여 ± 2 cm/s 이상의 유의미한 유속변화역이 거의 나타나지 않았기 때문에, 해저지형변화가 미미한 것은 당연한 결과인 것으로 판단되었다.

이 연구에서는 지자기 폭풍의 주상 기간 동안 발생하는 태양풍 동압력 펄스에 대한 통계적 분석을 하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 1997년부터 2001년까지 5년간의 기간으로부터 지자기 폭풍 지수인 Dst 값이 -50nT 이하인 지자기 폭풍을 모두 111개 얻었다. 이러한 지자기 폭풍의 주상기간 동안에 발생한 태양풍 동압력 펄스를 정확히 조사하기 위해 태양풍 자료 뿐만 아니라 지구 저위도 여러 관측소에서 관측된 지자기 수평 성분 H값을 이용하였다. 즉 동압력 펄스가 자기권에 충돌하면 저위도 H 값이 전 지구적인 증가를 보여야 한다는 사실을 이용하였다. 이러한 과정을 통해 얻은 통계적 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자기 폭풍 중에 발생하는 H의 증가는 평균적으로 그 크기가 자기 폭풍의 강도와 비례하는 경향을 보인다. 이는 강한 자기폭풍일 수록 강한 태양풍 펄스를 동반한다는 것이다. 둘째로 자기폭풍 중에 발생하는 동압력 펄스의 발생 빈도 역시 자기 폭풍의 강도와 비례한다. 셋째, 동압력 펄스 발생 빈도가 0.4회/hr 이상인, 즉 2.5시간에 1회 이상의 동압력 펄스를 동반하는, 지자기 폭풍은 여기서 다루어진 전체 지자기 폭풍 중 약 $30\%$를 차지한다. 2.5시간은 서브스톰의 평균 지속 시간으로 볼 수 있으며, 따라서 자기 폭풍중에 서브스톰이 연속적으로 발생하는 것 만큼 자주 동압력 펄스가 나타나는 자기폭풍이 전체의 $30\%$라는 것이다. 한편 이러한 동압력 펄스의 기원을 이해하기 위해 먼저 지자기 폭풍 유도체에 대해 조사하였다. 그 결과 여기서 다루어진 지자기 폭풍의 약 $65\%$가 CME(Coronal Mass Ejection)에 의해 발생되었고 CIR(Corotating Interaction Regions)과 Type II bursts에 의해 발생한 것이 각각 6.3, $7.2\%$인 것으로 나타났다. 그런데 CME에 의해 발생된 지자기폭풍 중에서 $70\%$ 이상이 그 주상 기간이 CME와 충격파 사이의 공간인 sheath 영역 혹은 CME 앞부분에 해당되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이들 지자기폭풍 주상기간에 빈번히 발생하는 동압력 펄스는 CME와 충격파 사이의 sheath 영역, 그리고 CME 앞부분 영역에서의 빈번한 태양풍 밀도 증가에 기인하는 것으로 보인다.
