본 연구에서는 Geant4 application for tomographic emission (GATE) 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 통해 설계 된 male adult mesh (MASH) 팬텀의 영상을 획득한 후 다양한 필터링 인자가 설정된 FNLM 노이즈 제거 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 그에 따른 영상 특성의 경향성을 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위해 GATE 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 통해 인체를 모사할 수 있는 MASH 팬텀을 설계하였다. 또한, 설계된 MASH 팬텀을 기반으로 MATLAB 프로그램을 통해 복부영상을 획득한 후 0.005의 $\sigma$ 값을 갖는 Gaussian noise를 추가하여 열화영상을 모델링하였다. 모델링 된 열화영상으로부터 제안하는 FNLM 노이즈 제거 알고리즘의 필터링 인자를 각각 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 으로 설정하여 적용하였으며, 정량적 평가를 위해 FNLM 노이즈 제거 알고리즘이 적용된 영상들로부터 각각의 coefficient of variation (COV), signal to noise ratio (SNR) 그리고 contrast to noise ratio (CNR)을 측정하였다. 결과적으로, 0.05의 필터링 인자가 적용된 영상에서 가장 개선된 COV, SNR 그리고 CNR 값을 보였다. 특히, COV는 설정된 필터링 인자가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 0.05 값 이후부터 거의 일정한 값을 나타내었다. 또한, SNR 및 CNR의 경우 필터링 인자가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, 0.05 값 이후부터 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 결론적으로, 열화 영상으로부터 FNLM 노이즈 제거 알고리즘 적용 시 적합한 필터링 인자를 설정해야 함이 증명되었다.

지반의 변동성은 많은 독립된 불확실성 요소로부터 발생하는 복잡한 요소이며, 지반의 변동성은 주로 내재적 변동성과 측정오차에 의해서 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 지반의 변동성을 평가하는 지표로 사용되는 변동계수를 송도지역의 지반정수 및 지층에 대하여 산정하였다. 지반정수의 변동성은 지층 및 흙의 종류에 영향을 받으므로 지층은 매립층과 퇴적층, 흙의 종류는 점토와 실트로 구분하여 각각의 변동계수를 산정하였다. 퇴적층과 점토의 변동계수가 매립층과 실트에 비하여 작은 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 풍화가 많이 진행된 암반과 토사가 신선한 암반과 풍화암에 비하여 상대적으로 큰 변동계수를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서 제시한 송도지역의 변동계수는 신뢰성해석의 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Combustion analysis based on cylinder-pressure provides a mechanism through which a combustion researcher can understand the combustion process. The objective of this paper was to identify the most significant sources of cycle-to-cycle combustion variability in a spark ignition engine at idle. To analyse the cyclic variation in a test engine, the burn parameters are determined on a cycle-to-cycle basis through the analysis of the engine pressure data. The burn rate analysis program was used here and the burn parameters were used to determine the variations in the input parameter-i. e., fuel, air, and residual mass. In this study, we investigated the relationship of indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP), coefficient of variation (COV) of IMEP, burn angles, and lowest normalized value (LNV) in a spark ignition engine in a view of cyclic variations.

지진 하중 하에서 필댐의 거동은 필댐 구성 재료의 전단파 속도(또는 전단 탄성계수) 분포에 많은 영향을 받는다. 일반적으로 필댐의 전단파 속도 분포는 전단파 속도 주상도를 통해 나타낼 수 있다. 이때 댐 구성 재료의 전단파 속도는 일반적으로 필댐 내부에서 공간에 따른 변동성을 가지며, 댐에서 허용되는 한정된 수의 실험에서는 이러한 재료 물성치 공간 변동성을 결정론적으로 규명할 수 없다. 따라서 실험에서 얻어진 전단파 속도 주상도는 불확실성을 가지게 되며, 재료 물성치의 불확실성은 해석결과에 불확실성을 야기하게 된다. 신뢰성 기반 해석은 이러한 재료 물성치 불확실성에 의한 해석결과의 영향을 평가 할 수 있다. 신뢰성 기반 해석에서는 변동계수를 통해 재료 물성치의 불확실성을 평가하고, 이러한 불확실성에 의한 영향을 해석에 반영할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 필댐 심벽부와 사력부 구성 재료의 전단파 속도 변동계수(COV, Coefficient Of Variation)를 결정하였다. 이를 위해 국내 필댐 심벽부와 사력부에서 표면파 시험을 통해 결정된 전단파 속도 주상도들에 대해 Hwang and Park(2013)에 의해 개발된 랜덤 전단파 속도 주상도 생성 기법을 적용하여 국내 필댐 심벽부와 사력부에 존재 가능한 전단파 속도 주상도 600개를 생성하고 이에 대한 통계처리를 통하여 필댐 심벽부와 사력부의 깊이별 전단파 속도 변동계수를 결정하였다.

The influence of combination of nano silica and silica fume, as partial cement replacement materials, on the properties of concrete has been studied through the measurement of compressive strength. The compressive strength of concrete in terms of mean, standard deviation and with-in-test coefficient of variation related to the variation in the nominated parameters have also been developed. The compressive strength data developed experimentally has been analyzed using normal-probability distribution and partial safety factors of composite concretes have been evaluated by using first order second moment approach with Hasofer Lind's method. The use of Nano silica and silica fume in concrete decreases the partial safety factor of concrete i.e., increase the reliability of concrete. The experimental results show that the properties of concrete having nano silica and silica fume in combination were better than that of a plain concrete. The SEM test results showing the level of Ca(OH)₂ in plain concrete and consumption level Ca(OH)₂ of concrete containing nano silica & silica fume have also been presented.

The EGR system has been widely used to reduce nitrogen oxides (NO$\_$x/) emission, to improve fuel economy and suppress knock by using the characteristics of charge dilution. However, as the EGR rate at a given engine operating condition increases, the combustion instability increases. The combustion instability increases cyclic variations resulting in the deterioration of engine performance and emissions. Therefore, the optimum EGR rate should be carefully determined in order to obtain the better engine performance and emissions. An experimental study has been performed to investigate the effects of EGR on combustion stability, engine performance,70x and the other exhaust emissions from 1.5 liter gasoline engine. Operating conditions are selected from the test result of the high speed and high acceleration region of SFTP mode which generates more NO$\_$x/ and needs higher engine speed compared to FTP-75 (Federal Test Procedure) mode. Engine power, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions are measured with various EGR rate. Combustion stability is analyzed by examining the variation of indicated mean effective pressure (COV$\_$imep/) and the timings of maximum pressure (P$\_$max/) location using pressure sensor. Engine performance is analyzed by investigating engine power and maximum cylinder pressure and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC)

Recently, Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) based on reliability analysis has become a global trend for economical and rational design. In order to implement the LRFD, quantification of uncertainty for load and resistance should be done. The reliability of result relies on input variable, and therefore, it is important to obtain exact uncertainty properties of load and resistance. Since soil stress is the main reason causing the settlement or deformation of ground and load on the underground structure, it is essential to clarify the uncertainty of soil stress distribution for accurately predict the uncertainty of load in LRFD. In this study, laboratory model test on silty sand bed under probabilistic load is performed to observe propagation of upper load uncertainty. The results show that the coefficient of variation (COV) of soil stress are varied depending on location due to non-linear relationship between upper load increment and soil pressure increment. In addition, when the load uncertainty is transmitted through ground, COV is decreased by damping effect.

Gamma-ray images generally suffer from a lot of noise because of low photon detection in the gamma camera system. The purpose of this study is to improve the image quality in gamma-ray images using a gamma camera system with a fast nonlocal means (FNLM) noise reduction algorithm with an acceleration function. The designed FNLM algorithm is based on local region considerations, including the Euclidean distance in the gamma-ray image and use of the encoded information. To evaluate the noise characteristics, the normalized noise power spectrum (NNPS), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and coefficient of variation (COV) were used. According to the NNPS result, the lowest values can be obtained using the FNLM noise reduction algorithm. In addition, when the conventional methods and the FNLM noise reduction algorithm were compared, the average CNR and COV using the proposed algorithm were approximately 2.23 and 7.95 times better than those of the noisy image, respectively. In particular, the image-processing time of the FNLM noise reduction algorithm can achieve the fastest time compared with conventional noise reduction methods. The results of the image qualities related to noise characteristics demonstrated the superiority of the proposed FNLM noise reduction algorithm in a gamma camera system.
