Despite the proliferation of the industrial application of steel tubes, the effect of collision on the surface of steel tubes subject to cyclic loading has largely remained untouched. This paper studies the fatigue behavior of steel tubes which are impacted by an external object. A dent imperfection caused by a collision was modeled and fatigue tests were conducted using a MTS machine. Fatigue life as well as the failure modes were thoroughly discussed in a way that the fatigue life of the dented tubes with similar geometrical specifications at full-scale can be generalized.

During the last 10 years, the various type of high speed craft have been greatly developed, and since around of 1990 the large size of high speed passenger and/or cargo vessels are also introduced and took into the service in the various routes over the world. In a marine traffic way some bridge need to build across a rivers, cannals or a waterways. This one will be an obstruction and potential risk of collision in the way of high speed craft. Accordingly some of collision accident have been reported, which were caused by a lost control, wind and hydrodynamic forces, fog or human errors. In this paper a high speed craft having 40 m length is assumed to be collided with a circular type of bridge piers at right angle. The mode of deformation, penetration depth of collapse, impact forces, reduction of speed, loss of kinetic energy, and influence of scantlings, etc. have been calculated in each speed with a time variation to find a maximum values within a limit, and are graphically presented.

An autonomous navigation algorithm for marine vehicles is proposed in this paper using fuzzy logic under COLREG guidelines. The VFF (Virtual Force Field) method, which is widely used in the field of mobile robotics, is modified for application to the autonomous navigation of marine vehicles. This Modified Virtual Force Field (MVFF) method can be used in either track-keeping or collision avoidance modes. Moreover, the operator can select a track-keeping pattern mode in the proposed algorithm. The collision avoidance algorithm has the ability to handle static and/or moving obstacles. The fuzzy expert rules are designed deliberately under COLREG guidelines. An extensive simulation study is used to verify the proposed method.

In an attempt to understand the nature of hyperthermal ion-surface collisions, noble gas ion beams (He+, Ne+, Ar+, and Xe+) are scattered from a Si(100) surface for collision energies of 20-300 eV and for 45°incidence angle. The scattered ions are mass-analyzed using a quadrupole mass spectrometer and their kinetic energy is measured in a time-of-flight mode. The scattering event for He+ and Ne+ can be approximated as a sequence of quasi-binary collisions with individual Si atoms for high collision energies (Ei > 100 eV), but it becomes of a many-body nature for lower energies, Ar+ and Xe+ ions undergo mutliple large impact parameter collisions with the surface atoms. The effective mass of a surface that these heavy ions experience during the collision increases drastically for low beam energies.

The safety of on-going ships is one of important concerns in the view of environment and human life. The ship in bad condition is likely to be subjected to accidental loads such as collision. Once she has one or several minor collision damages in the form of circle or ellipse, her ultimate strength under compression or tension load will be reduced. Here, it is important to evaluate the reduction ratio of ultimate strength due to the damage from safety point of view. The problem of strength reduction of a plate with cutout such as opening hole has been treated by many researchers. As a result, a closed-form formula on the reduction of ultimate strength of a plate considering the effect of several forms of cutout was suggested. However, the structure of ships is composed of a plate and a stiffener so-called a stiffened plate, and it is likely to be damaged at a plate and stiffeners together in collision. This paper is to investigate the effect of minor collision damage on ultimate strength of a stiffened plate by using numerical analysis. For this study, the shape of minor collision damage of a stiffened plate was made by using contact algorithm. The deformed shape was used as an initial shape for ultimate stress analysis. Then, a series of nonlinear FE analysis was conducted to investigate the reduction effects of ultimate strength of the stiffened plate. The boundary condition was applied as simply supported at all boundaries, and the tripping of stiffener among failure mode under compression loading was neglected. These results were settled in the form of reduction ratio between ultimate of original intact stiffened plate and that of damaged stiffened plate.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a solid-liquid separation process that uses fine rising bubbles to remove particles in water. Most of particle-bubble collision occurs in the DAF contact zone. This initial contact considered by the researchers to play a important role for DAF performance. It is hard to make up conceptual model through simple mass balance for estimating collision efficiency in the contact zone because coupled behavior of the solid-liquid-gas phase in DAF system is 90 complicate. In this study, 2-phase(gas-liquid) flow equations for the conservation of mass, momentum and turbulence quantities were solved using an Eulerian-Eulerian approach based on the assumption that very small particle is applied in the DAF system. For the modeling of turbulent 2-phase flow in the reactor, the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ mode I(liquid phase) and zero-equation(gas phase) were used in CFD code because it is widely accepted and the coefficients for the model are well established. Particle-bubble collision efficiency was calculated using predicted turbulent energy dissipation rate and gas volume fraction. As the result of this study, the authors concluded that bubble size and recycle ratio play important role for flow pattern change in the reactor. Predicted collision efficiency using CFD showed good agreement with measured removal efficiency in the contact zone. Also, simulation results indicated that collision efficiency at 15% recycle ratio is higher than that of 10% and showed increasing tendency of the collision efficiency according to the decrease of the bubble size.

IEEE 802.15.4는 전송된 프레임의 초기 충돌을 피하기 위해 대부분의 다른 무선 네트워크 프로토콜들처럼 프레임을 전송하기 전 임의의 시간을 지연하는 CA(Collision A voidance) 알고리즘을 사용한다. IEEE 802.15.4의 CA 방식은 현재의 네트워크 상황에 관계없이 고정된 초기 백오프 선택 구간에서 임의의 백오프 지연 시간을 선택하기 때문에, 긴 시간 동안 높은 통신 부하를 유지하는 네트워크에서는 현재 상황에 알맞은 백오프 지연 시간을 선택하기까지 여러 번의 백오프 지연 과정을 반복하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크의 혼잡 상황에 따른 충돌 확률을 고려하여 초기 백오프 지연 시간을 적응적으로 선택할 수 있는 ACA(Adaptive Collision Avoidance) 알고리즘을 제안한다. ACA 알고리즘의 성능을 측정하기 위해 수학적 모델을 제시하며, ns-2를 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 모델의 정확성을 검증하고 네트워크 혼잡 상황에 따른 최적의 초기 백오프 지연 시간을 제시한다. 분석 결과, ACA알고리즘을 사용할 때 표준에 비해 처리량이 최대 41% 이상 증가하고 평균 서비스 지연 시간은 기존보다 더욱 짧게 나타났다.

RFID 시스템에서 태그 수집은 가장 중요한 기능이다. 태그들은 리더의 수집 명령에 따라서 동일한 채널에서 응답하게 되며, 2개 이상의 태그가 동시에 응답할 때 RFID 시스템에서 태그 충돌이 발생한다. 태그 충돌은 RFID 시스템에서 성능을 저하 시키는 중요한 요소이다. 능동형 RFID 시스템에서는 태그 충돌을 해결하기 위하여 프레임 슬롯 알로하 충돌방지 프로토콜을 널리 사용하고 있다. 많은 연구에서 프레임 슬롯 ALOHA 방식의 최대 시스템 효율은 36.8%임을 나타내고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 프레임슬롯 알로하 보다 개선된 태그 수집성능 위해 RFID 시스템에 정합하는 efficient slotted CSMA/CA를 제안한다. IEEE 802.15.4 저 전력 센서 네트워크에서 널리 사용 중인 slotted CSMA/CA를 RFID 시스템에 적용하기 위한 프레임 구조를 제시하며, 주변의 태그 개수에 따라 유동적 프레임 사이즈 조절을 통한 수집성능을 향상한다. 실제 433MHz 능동형 RFID 리더와 태그 40대에서 실험을 통하여 제안한 slotted CSMA/CA가 프레임 슬롯 ALOHA 방식보다 태그 수집시간, 수집라운드 및 충돌 횟수에서 각각 18%, 37.4%, 77.8%의 성능향상을 보였다.

A thermionic energy converter test station is constructed for the study of electromagnetic energy generation. Of particular interest is the frequency variations due to changes in the interelectrode gap, the electrode temperature, and the cesium vapor pressure. It is found experimentally that the most intense ratio-frequency(rf) oscillations occur at two non-overlapping regions.

본 논문에선 플래그를 이용한 전송시의 충돌 완화 및 재전송 슬롯 선택 방식의 변형을 통하여 CSMA/CA(Carrier Sensing Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance) 프로토콜을 항공용 VHF통신에 적합하게 변형시켰다. 일반적으로 CSMA/CA 프로세스는 경쟁 서비스에서 충돌이 일어났을 때 재전송 지연시간만큼 기다리게 되고 경쟁윈도우의 크기가 2배로 커진다. 이로 인해 부하가 증가하면 지연시간이 커지고 처리량이 감소한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 충돌 플래그를 이용하여 본래의 경쟁 윈도우의 크기 변화과정을 변형시켰으며 CSMA/CA 전체 상태 천이 과정에서 충돌시의 과정을 단축시켰다. 또한 패킷이 생성된 상태에서 충돌이 일어나면 플래그를 이용하여 초기에 증가된 경쟁윈도우를 갖고 Backoff 모드에 진입함으로써 재충돌 확률을 줄였다. 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과 부하가 증가하여도 처리량 및 지연 시간에 대해 좋은 특성을 나타냈으며 제안된 프로토콜은 항공용 VHF 통신에 적합함을 확인하였다.
