This study was intended to estimate the soil runoff at the basin of Mandaechun where the measure needs to be taken to deal with the increasing muddy water resulting from soil runoff during wet season and torrential rain at the high reaches of the Soyang lake where highland vegetables are cultivated and soil replacement for improvement is carried out every two to three years. The study was carried out in such a way of identifying the topographic factors using geographical spatial data from Water Management Information System (WAMIS) and ARC-VIEW program and estimating the soil runoff by rainfall frequency using Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), and furthermore, evaluating the soil runoff contribution at the basin of Mandaechun based on estimate of the soil runoff by section.

In this paper, a direct adaptive pole placement controller for an unknown linear time-invariant single-input single-output nonminimum phase plant is proposed. To design this direct adaptive pole placement controller, the auxiliary signals are introduced. Consequently, a linear equation error model is formulated for estimating both the controller parameters and the additional auxiliary parameters. To estimate the controller parameters and the additional auxiliary parameters, the exponentially weighted least-squares algorithm is implemented, and a method of selecting the characteristic polynomials of the sensitivity function filters is proposed. In this method, all the past measurement data are weighted exponentially. A series of simulations for a nonminimum phase plant is presented to illustrate some features of both the parameter estimation and the output response of this adaptive pole placement controller.

In this study the fatigue crack growth behavior was investigated for the surface cracks in aluminum alloy A5083-O plate and its weldment. Several kinds of specimens were tested at room temperature. The Eccentric specimens(E1.0, E2.5) subjected to combined stresses(tension+bending) were tested and the welded specimens with weld toes(TOE1, TOE2) were tested in order to verify the method to consider the stress concentration such as weld toe. It was ascertained that the surface crack growth property in the weld toe could be predicted by the corrected Pang's equation proposed in this study.

Precision of theoretical group velocity of waves in shell structures was discussed for the purpose of source localization of loose parts impact in pressure vessels of nuclear power plants. Estimating exact location of loose parts impact inside a reactor or a steam generator is very important in safety management of a NPP. Evaluation of correct propagation velocity of impact signals in pressure vessels, most of which are shell structures, is essential in impact source localization. Theoretical group velocities of impact signals in a plate and a shell were calculated by wave equations and compared to the velocities measured experimentally in a plate specimen and a scale model of a nuclear reactor. The wave equation applicable to source localization algorithm in shell structures was chosen by the study.

The purpose of Superconducting Magnetic Bearing Flywheel Energy Storage System (SMB-FESS) is to store unused nighttime electricity until it is needed during daytime. An analytical model of the SMB-FESS is necessary to identify the system behavior. At first, we have to model the superconducting magnetic bearing. Modeling the SMB is same as estimating the bearing parameter. The theoretical modal parameter is calculated through the equation of motion and the experimental modal parameter is estimated through the impact testing (modal testing). The bearing parameter is searched by using the non-linear least square method until the theoretical result corresponds to the experimental result. The suggested modeling method is verified by comparing experimental and analytical frequency response function.

In this study, it is observed that the distribution of combustion chamber volume affects the volumetric efficiency. The distribution ratio was adjusted by controlling combustion chamber volume of head and piston bowl one. Four cases were investigated, which are the combination of different distribution ratios and different compression ratios (9.8-10.0). A commercial SOHC 3-valve engine was modified by cutting the bottom face of the head and/or replacing the piston by the one that has different volume. The result shows that the less the head side volume, the more volumetric efficiency is achieved under the same compression ratio. It is also observed that increasing volumetric efficiency results in early knock occurrence due to increased "real" compression ratio. To consider reliability in estimating the volumetric efficiency, we examined the sensitivity of the AFR equation to possible errors in emission measurements. It is shown that the volumetric efficiency, which is calculated by measuring AFR and fuel consumption, can be controlled in 1% error. 1% error.

Crop evapotranspiration rates of the garlic, potato and carrot were measured in a lysimeter at the National Institute of Subtropical Agriculture. The crop coefficients were calculated using the values of the actually measured evapotranspiration(ETcrop) and the reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) estimated by the Penman-Monteith equation. The maximum crop coefficients of the garlic, potato, carrot and cabbage were 1.07, 1.07, 0.73 and 0.92 respectively. For the Citrus Aoshima Unshiu and Hallabong in the plastic house, the maximum crop coefficients were 1.38 and 1.29 respectively. Computer program using EXCEL was also developed to estimate the crop water use.

Estimation efficiencies according to different sea trial are investigated in connection with sensitivity analysis, and new trial method is proposed which can improve the estimation efficiency of hydrodynamic derivatives. MMG Equation with Kijima's formula is used for simulation. Extended Kalman Filter is chosen for estimation technique and hydrodynamic derivatives of interest is limited to 12 of those in sway and yaw equations. Esso Osaka is selected for the test ship. Sensitivity analysis and estimation results based on conventional trials show that a more sensitive derivative gives more efficient estimation result. Sensitivities of nonlinear derivatives become pronounced in the trial where steady condition lasts longer such as turning test, while sensitivities of linear derivatives gas a larger values in the trial where unsteady condition lasts longer such as 10deg-10deg zigzag test. Consequently, in new method , named S-type trial, steady and unsteady condition are combined appropriately to increase sensitivities. Linear derivatives are estimated better in S-type trial and the estimation of nonlinear derivatives is improved to extent.

It is necessary to estimate empirical constants in order to predict the monthly mean daily global radiation on a horizontal surface in the developing areas for alternative energy. Therefore many different equations have proposed to evaluate them for certain areas. In this work a new correlation has been made to predict the solar radiation for any areas over Korea by calculating the regression models taking into account latitude, percentage of possible sunshine, and cloud cover. Results clearly demonstrates the reliability of the single linear equation for the estimation of global radiation, which is proposed by using percentage of possible sunshine method. When compared with the measured values, the average annual deviation falls between -3.1 to +0.6%.

We apply a full mutigrid scheme to computing eigenvalues of the Laplace eigenvalue problem with Dirichlet boundary condition. We use finite difference method to get an algebraic equation and apply inverse power method to estimating the smallest eigenvalue. Our result shows that combined method of inverse power method and full multigrid scheme is very effective in calculating eigenvalue of the eigenvalue problem.
