유선 네트워크와는 달리 WLAN 메쉬 네트워크는 비용면이나, 이동성면에서 장점을 많이 가지고 있다. 이에 대한 표준화가 진행 중에 있지만 많은 문제점과 기술적으로 해결해야 할 부분들이 남아있다. 특히 무선 전송기술인 DCF는 WLAN 메쉬 네트워크에 직접적으로 적용시키기에는 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. DCF를 사용할 경우에는 무선자원을 공유하는 노드의 수가 증가하고 보내려는 패킷이 증가할수록 프레임간 충돌횟수가 급격히 증가해 무선자원의 사용 효율이 현저히 떨어지기 때문이다. 반면 PCF는 노드에게 일정시간 채널을 점유할 권리를 부여함으로써 프레임간 충돌을 없애 무선자원의 사용 효율을 향상시킬 수 있다. 하지만 트래픽이 적은 경우에는 불필요한 조사 프레임 전송, 조사목록 갱신 등으로 무선자원을 낭비하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 이 두 기술의 장점을 이용하여 WLAN 메쉬 네트워크에 적용시킨다면 데이터 전송의 효율을 증대시킬 수 있다. WLAN 메쉬 네트워크의 기본 통신범위 내에는 많은 노드들이 있으며 이를 계층적으로 나눌 경우 계층에 따라 트래픽의 양에 많은 차이를 보인다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 WLAN 메쉬 네트워크에서 DCF와 PCF를 트래픽에 따라 유연하게 사용함으로써 전송 효율을 증대시키는 적응형 HMAC 알고리즘을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 WLAN 메쉬 네트워크가 DCF에 전적으로 의존하는 경우에 비하여 적응형 HMAC 알고리즘이 적용된 WLAN 메쉬 네트워크는 트래픽이 증가할수록 수율, 지연 등에서 더 좋은 성능을 나타내었다.

Resistivity logging instruments are designed to measure the electrical resistivity of a formation, and this can be directly interpreted to provide a water-saturation profile. However, resistivity logs are sensitive to borehole and shoulder-bed effects, which often result in misinterpretation of the results. These effects are emphasised more in the presence of tool eccentricity. For precise interpretation of short- and long-normal logging measurements in the presence of tool eccentricity, we simulate and analyse eccentricity effects by combining the use of a Fourier series expansion in a new system of coordinates with a 2D goal-oriented high-order self-adaptive hp finite-element refinement strategy, where h denotes the element size and p the polynomial order of approximation within each element. The algorithm automatically performs local mesh refinement to construct an optimal grid for the problem under consideration. In addition, the proper combination of h and p refinements produces highly accurate simulations even in the presence of high electrical resistivity contrasts. Numerical results demonstrate that our algorithm provides highly accurate and reliable simulation results. Eccentricity effects are more noticeable when the borehole is large or resistive, or when the formation is highly conductive.

The Zienkiewicz-Zhu(Z/Z) error estimate is slightly modified for the hierarchical p-refinement, and is then applied to L-shaped plates subjected to bending to demonstrate its effectiveness. An adaptive procedure in finite element analysis is presented by p-refinement of meshes in conjunction with a posteriori error estimator that is based on the superconvergent patch recovery(SPR) technique. The modified Z/Z error estimate p-refinement is different from the conventional approach because the high order shape functions based on integrals of Legendre polynomials are used to interpolate displacements within an element, on the other hand, the same order of basis function based on Pascal's triangle tree is also used to interpolate recovered stresses. The least-square method is used to fit a polynomial to the stresses computed at the sampling points. The strategy of finding a nearly optimal distribution of polynomial degrees on a fixed finite element mesh is discussed such that a particular element has to be refined automatically to obtain an acceptable level of accuracy by increasing p-levels non-uniformly or selectively. It is noted that the error decreases rapidly with an increase in the number of degrees of freedom and the sequences of p-distributions obtained by the proposed error indicator closely follow the optimal trajectory.

In this paper, the three-dimensional stress effect of thermal oxide is simulated. We developed a three-dimensional finite element numerical simulator including three-dimensional adaptive mesh generator that is able to refine and eliminate nearby moving boundary of oxide, and oxidation solver with stress model. To investigate the behavior of thermal oxidation the simulations of thermal oxidation for island and hole structures are carried out assuming silicon wafer of <100> direction, temperature of $1000^{\circ}C$, oxidation time of 60min, wet ambient, initial oxide thickness of $300\AA$, and nitride thickness of $2, 000\AA$. The main effect of deformation at the corner area of oxide is due to distribution of oxidant, but the deformation of oxide is affected by the stressin theoxide. In the island structure which is the structure mostly covered with nitride and a coner is opended to oxidation, oxidation is reduced at the coner by compressive stress. In the hole structure which is the structure mostly opedned to oxide and a coner is convered with nitride, however, oxidation is increased at the coner by tensile stress.

In recent years the interest in online monitoring of lightweight structures with ultrasonic guided waves is steadily growing. Especially the aircraft industry is a driving force in the development of structural health monitoring (SHM) systems. In order to optimally design SHM systems powerful and efficient numerical simulation tools to predict the behaviour of ultrasonic elastic waves in thin-walled structures are required. It has been shown that in real industrial applications, such as airplane wings or fuselages, conventional linear and quadratic pure displacement finite elements commonly used to model ultrasonic elastic waves quickly reach their limits. The required mesh density, to obtain good quality solutions, results in enormous computational costs when solving the wave propagation problem in the time domain. To resolve this problem different possibilities are available. Analytical methods and higher order finite element method approaches (HO-FEM), like p-FEM, spectral elements, spectral analysis and isogeometric analysis, are among them. Although analytical approaches offer fast and accurate results, they are limited to rather simple geometries. On the other hand, the application of higher order finite element schemes is a computationally demanding task. The drawbacks of both methods can be circumvented if regions of complex geometry are modelled using a HO-FEM approach while the response of the remaining structure is computed utilizing an analytical approach. The objective of the paper is to present an efficient method to couple different HO-FEM schemes with an analytical description of an undisturbed region. Using this hybrid formulation the numerical effort can be drastically reduced. The functionality of the proposed scheme is demonstrated by studying the propagation of ultrasonic guided waves in plates, excited by a piezoelectric patch actuator. The actuator is modelled utilizing higher order coupled field finite elements, whereas the homogenous, isotropic plate is described analytically. The results of this "semi-analytical" approach highlight the opportunities to reduce the numerical effort if closed-form solutions are partially available.

In this paper, we present a real-time eye contact system for realistic telepresence using a Kinect depth camera. In order to generate the eye contact image, we capture a pair of color and depth video. Then, the foreground single user is separated from the background. Since the raw depth data includes several types of noises, we perform a joint bilateral filtering method. We apply the discontinuity-adaptive depth filter to the filtered depth map to reduce the disocclusion area. From the color image and the preprocessed depth map, we construct a user mesh model at the virtual viewpoint. The entire system is implemented through GPU-based parallel programming for real-time processing. Experimental results have shown that the proposed eye contact system is efficient in realizing eye contact, providing the realistic telepresence.

The high precision analysis by the p-version of the finite element method are fairly well established as highly efficient method for linear elastic problems, especially in the presence of stress singularity. It has been noted that the merits of the p-version are accuracy, modeling simplicity, robustness, and savings in user's and CPU time. However, little has been done to exploit their benefits in elasto-plastic analysis. In this paper, the p-version finite element model is proposed for the materially nonlinear analysis that is based on the incremental theory of plasticity using the constitutive equation for work-hardening materials, and the associated flow rule. To obtain the solution of nonlinear equation, the Newton-Raphson method and initial stiffness method, etc are used. Several numerical examples are tested with the help of the square plates with cutout, the thick-walled cylinder under internal pressure, and the circular plate with uniformly distributed load. Those results are compared with the theoretical solutions and the numerical solutions of ADINA

Recently, the development of bio-mimetic underwater vehicles that can emulate the characteristic movements of marine fish and mammals has attracted considerable attention. In this study, the motion of the batoid (i.e., cownose ray) fin that facilitates excellent cruising and maneuvering during underwater movement has been studied. The velocity achieved and distance covered with each fin movement are numerically studied. A fluid-structure interaction method is used to perform 3D time-dependent numerical analysis, wherein an adaptive mesh is employed to account for the large deformation of a fin interacting with a fluid. The results of a preliminary study show that the thrust of a ray fin is highly dependent on the frequency. Further, once the fin amplitude required for generating a given thrust is evaluated for the conditions experienced by an actual ray, the frequency and amplitude values for achieving better thrust are determined.

Finite element simulations of solid mechanics problems often involve the use of Non-Confirming Meshes (NCM) to increase accuracy in capturing nonlinear behavior, including damage and plasticity, in part of a solid domain without an undue increase in computational costs. In the presence of material nonlinearity and plasticity, higher-order variables are often needed to capture nonlinear behavior and material history on non-conforming interfaces. The most popular formulations for coupling non-conforming meshes are dual methods that involve the interpolation of a traction field on the interface. These methods are subject to the Ladyzhenskaya-Babuska-Brezzi (LBB) stability condition, and are therefore limited in their implementation with the higher-order elements needed to capture nonlinear material behavior. Alternatively, the enriched discontinuous Galerkin approach (EDGA) (Haikal and Hjelmstad 2010) is a primal method that provides higher order kinematic fields on the interface, and in which interface tractions are computed from local finite element estimates, therefore facilitating its implementation with nonlinear material models. The inclusion of higher-order interface variables, however, presents the issue of preserving material history at integration points when a increase in integration order is needed. In this study, the enriched discontinuous Galerkin approach (EDGA) is extended to the case of small-deformation plasticity. An interface-driven Gauss-Kronrod integration rule is proposed to enable adaptive enrichment on the interface while preserving history-dependent material data at existing integration points. The method is implemented using classical J2 plasticity theory as well as the pressure-dependent Drucker-Prager material model. We show that an efficient treatment of interface variables can improve algorithmic performance and provide a consistent approach for coupling non-conforming meshes in inelasticity.

최근 증가하고 있는 기후변화에 의해 설계빈도를 상회하는 강우의 발생빈도가 증가하고 있으며, 이로 인한 도시유역의 내수범람 피해가 증가하고 있다. 도시유역에서 발생하는 침수 피해의 경우 인적 물적 자원이 집중되어 있는 도시의 특성으로 인해 침수로 인한 직접적 피해 규모가 상당할 뿐만 아니라 침수 발생 후 세균 및 박테리아에 의해 발생하는 수인성 전염병의 유행 등과 같은 2차적 피해 또한 심각한 사회적 비용을 초래할 수 있어 도시유역의 침수 피해를 저감시키기 위한 대책이 절실히 요구되어지고 있다. 도시유역의 침수를 예방하기 위한 대책은 구조적 비구조적 대책으로 구분되어 질 수 있으며 구조적 대책의 경우 침수 피해 예방에 직접적인 효과를 낼 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 대규모 사업예산 및 사업 기간으로 인해 직접적 효과를 보기까지 상대적으로 긴 시간이 필요할 뿐만 아니라 사업 진행 중 대상지역 거주민들의 민원으로 인한 갈등 조정 등으로 인해 사업실행에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이러한 측면에서 비구조적 대책의 일환인 수치해석을 통한 침수피해 재현 및 침수원인 파악을 통한 구조개선 제안은 구조적 대책의 단점을 보완할 수있는 좋은 대안이 될 수 있다. 도시유역의 경우 비도시유역과 대조적인 차이점으로는 높은 비율의 불투수층, 복잡한 지형, 다수의 인공 구조물 및 배수관망 시스템 등을 들 수 있으며, 침수해석 모형의 정확도를 높이기 위해서는 복잡한 지형의 효율적인 처리가 무엇보다 중요하다. 일반적으로 이용되는 2차원 침수해석 모형들은 직교구조 격자 또는 비구조 격자를 이용하여 지형을 묘사하고 있으며 DEM 자료를 직접 사용하는 직교구조 격자의 경우 지형 데이터 생성이 상대적으로 쉽다는 장점이 있으나 복잡한 지형을 표현하기 위해서는 불필요한 지역까지 높은 해상도를 이용해야 하며 이로 인하여 모의시간이 지나치게 길어지는 문제점이 발생한다. 비구조 격자의 경우 상대적으로 복잡한 도시 유역을 잘 묘사할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 격자망 생성에 필요한 데이터가 많고 격자망 생성에 지나치게 많은 시간과 노력이 소요된다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 위에서 언급한 두 가지 방법의 장점만을 취할 수 있도록 메쉬 세분화 기법을 이용한 2차원 침수해석 모형을 개발 하여 복잡한 지형은 고해상도 메쉬를 이용하여 보다 자세히 묘사하고 상대적으로 복잡하지 않은 지형은 저해상도 메쉬를 이용하여 계산시간을 단축시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 수치해석 기법으로는 엇갈림 격자를 이용하는 Leap-Frog 기법과 유한차분 (Finite difference Method)기법을 이용하였다.
