Train speed controlling systems are now changing from wayside systems to onboard signaling systems. Locomotive engineers refer to wayside markers to decide on a braking point when the train speed appears to be lower than the current speed. However, in the onboard signaling systems that have been installed recently, the braking point is not determined by the wayside signal but by an onboard value. In this paper, we studied braking points and methods for deciding on such points by engineers using the onboard systems. An optimized braking point is proposed via simulation of decelerating velocity to control the velocity in the signaling system through a predefined point; Gaussian distributions are used to simulate the actual situation. We estimated and demonstrated how to obtain braking parameters in order to satisfy the interval of permitted error.

In the present study, temperature and frequency dependences of ultrasonic properties such as attenuation coefficient and phase velocity was investigated for six kinds of commercial MC-Nylon polymer samples. The ultrasonic properties of the samples were measured by using a pulse transmission method in water over a broadband frequency range of 2 to 8 MHz. Water temperature was varied from 10 to $60^{\circ}C$ with the $10^{\circ}C$ interval. The attenuation coefficients of the samples increased with the frequency and the exponent n of frequency dependence ranged within 1.16 to 1.44, slightly deviating from the linear dependence (n=1). The phase velocities of the samples exhibited negative dispersion, i.e., decreasing velocity with increasing frequency, except for ivory sample at $60^{\circ}C$. The frequency-dependent phase velocities of the samples showed the decreasing tendency with increasing temperature.

This study is selected two points of combined sewer that occurred Fish Kill after first flush, that analyzed generation of pollutants and stream runoff generation of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) as fine weather and rainfall. In addition, this study was to analyze the relationship between CSOs and sediments, to propose measures to reduce the sediment relevant with CSOs and rainfall runoff from entering sewage treatment plants and measures for discharged directly into streams when indicate relatively good water quality after overflow. Sediments in combined sewer system was discharged about 50~80% as overflows during rainfall and we can reduce the amount of the CSOs at least 50% or more if the sewer does not exist in the sediments because of the amount of discharge about the amount of intercept has been investigated by 3~5 times. Because of velocity at sediment interval in sewer is very low, sewage velocity of about 3~5 times as much as it can increase the amount of sediment can be reduced if the separation wall is installed. Effective control of BOD overflow load is respectively 77.5%, 75.8% at first point, second point by the separation wall is installed. Drainage area greater than area in this study or many combined sewer overflows region is increased the more effective control of separation wall. Turbidity to measure changes in water quality of overflows can be used as an factor to control the intercept flows because the intercept flows(3Q) after the first flush has lowered removal efficiency and increases the operational load of sewage treatment plants. Sewage water quality after a overflow when the reasonable turbidity was measured at this point flows to excluded intercept flow(1Q) can be discharged to stream.

This study was carried out to: (1) analyze structural stability of representative rain-sheltering greenhouses for large-grain grapevine cultivation with widths of 3.6 m and 5 m in case of using the existing pipe for agriculture; (2) present the optimum specification of pipes in the greenhouse with a width of 5 m under the condition of using the pipe of which ultimate strength has been above $400N{\cdot}mm^{-2}$; (3) evaluate stability and also present the optimum specification of pipes as eaves height was augmented. The above analyses were done for greenhouses with roof vents and also with a main-column interval of 3 m and a rafter interval of 60 cm. First, the existing 3.6 m greenhouse with a rafter of ${\Phi}25.4{\times}1.5t@600$ was stable far a snow-depth of 35 cm but unstable for a wind velocity of $35m{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Meanwhile the existing 5 m greenhouse with the same rafter was not stable for a wind velocity of $335m{\cdot}s^{-1}$ as well as a snow-depth of 35 cm. This meant that existing greenhouses had to be reinforced to secure stability. Second, the specification of pipes, especially rafter, could be classified as two cases. One had a structural stability at a safe wind velocity of $35m{\cdot}s^{-1}$ and a safe snow-depth of 40 cm for which stability the rafter had to be ${\Phi}31.8{\times}1.5t@600$, and the other had a stability at $30m{\cdot}s^{-1}-35cm$ at the specification of rafter ${\Phi}25.4{\times}1.5t@600$. Finally, eaves height had a significant effect on safe wind velocity. But it had little influence on safe snow-depth. The results showed that the specification of side-wall pipes had to be reinforced for the safe side velocity accord-ing to the increment of eaves height and similarly the specification of fore-end post far the safe fore-end velocity.

This paper presents a method for the dynamic analysis of constrained multibody systems undergoing abrupt collision. The proposed method uses a longer time interval to check collision than that of c onventional method. This reduces the computational effort significantly. To calculate collision points on two colliding rigid bodies, one may introduce constraints of contact. However, this causes reduction of degree of freedom and difficulty of numerical analysis. The proposed method can calculate collision points without above mentioned problems. Three numerical examples are given to demonstrate the computational efficiency and the usefulness of the proposed method.

The fluvial phenomena in the bended natural river course are studied experimentally. Some theoretical and empirical conclusions were derived in prior to this study by some authors but the limitation of applicability of those results are not clearly known because of the sensitibitys of the flow regime in the reach. The main objective of this study is directed to evaluate the mechanism of sedimentation and the cross sectional changes in the equilibrium status. the most governing factor influenced to the cross sectional changes in the bended reach is the occurance of spiral flow. In this study, the streamlines and velocity distributions are checked at given interval by the hydraulic model to find out the place where spiral flow are existing under the various flow magnitudes.

This experimental study is conducted to investigate effects of a splitter plate, which is set on the back side of a square prism in the uniform flow. The Reynolds number is $1.44{\times}10^{4}$ based on the width of the square prism. The measurement of velocity vector and pressure distribution are carried out 4 cases of length in the range of 0.5L to 2.0L with 0.5L interval and 3 cases of Position at 0L, 0.25L, 0.5L, Flow visualization is also executed by smoke-wire method to understand the mechanism of vortex formation The results show the strong vortex shedding patterns and drags are decreased effectively, when the position of splitter plate is 0L. And the drag reduction rate is in inverse proportion to the splitter plate length

The average diffusion time of a polyacrylamide solution was determined by measuring the terminal velocities of the falling balls. The diffusion time increased as the polyacrylamide concentration increased. The PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) system was employed to visualize the flow phenomena around balls. For a time interval of 30 seconds in the 2000 wppm, velocity vectors were larger than in case of 0 seconds, 40 seconds and 50 seconds in the falling ball. However, in the Newtonian fluid, flow vsualization around balls were performed at both upstream and downstream of the falling ball.

This paper deals with a filterbank based on the IMM (Interacting Multiple Model) that combines data from a sensor and uses them selectively depending on a level of maneuver. Furthermore, within the maneuver interval, the existing IMM filter has disadvantages such as unnecessary target estimation errors caused by using a constant velocity model and an increase of computation load because of a fixed structure. On the other hand, the proposed IMM filterbank overcomes these disadvantages by using three model groups and designs a filterbank to cope with a wideband-maneuvering target. The performances of the IMM filterbank was evaluated through comparison with the existing IMM via computer simulations. The results show good performances for a wideband-maneuvering target.
