  • In this study, the behaviors of a vessel and the ground during the vessel impacting an underwater slope that is part of an artificial protective island are analyzed using the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian scheme. To consider the large deformation including the shear failure of soil, the Eulerian domain is used to model the ground and water, while the impacting objects are modeled as the Lagrangian domain. For efficiency, the mass scaling scheme is applied to the modeling of the impacting objects, and the ground is modeled by setting the Eulerian volume fraction values. To verify the applicability of the constructed model, a dynamic penetration anchor problem is analyzed. The impacting vessel is modeled using solid elements following the external shape of a container ship, and an analysis of a collision on the slope is performed. As a result, collision behaviors such as displacement, velocity, and dissipation energy are estimated, and the necessity of a parametric study as further research is established.

  • In this paper, we propose digital exhibition contents for the aquarium, especially 'Gyeongpo Lagoon Ecological Museum'. We try to plan appropriate media contents that can be mixed with the aquarium storytelling. The aquarium must have special spaces that are not related with an exhibition directly but are necessary for survival of fishes such as a water circulation room. We design the special spaces using media contents and let visitors feel that the whole aquarium is in the ocean. First of all, we investigate the aquarium currently under construction. And then, we propose the appreciate media platforms and plan individual content. We suggest 3 types of media platforms, 3D water projection, interactive games utilizing Kinect, and a fog screen. Moreover, we produce 2D drawing concepts, 3D modeling images, and virtual exhibitions in virtual reality for the representation of the location in which those platforms are installed and the media contents we plan. The pre-visualization is helpful for the media platform construction and is used as a rough sketch to producing an animation shown in the exhibition.

  • In this paper, the incoherent reverberation model based on coupled normal mode method is presented. In the range dependent environment, one way coupled normal mode method is used to calculate the pressure from a source to a scatterer patch and the pressure from a scatterer patch to a receiver. For the computational efficiency, the sound propagation from a source/receiver to the scatterer patch is assumed to occur only in the 2D plane where a source/receiver and scatterer patch are located. For the model verification, problems of the reverberation modeling workshop I and II sponsored by the US office of Naval Research are calculated and the results are compared with the incoherent reverberation model results based on the ray method.

  • The invention of VHDL(Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language), Technical language of Hardware, is a kind of turning point in digital circuit designing, which is being more and more complicated and integrated. Because of its excellency in expression ability of hardware, VHDL is not only used in designing Hardware but also in simulation for verification, and in exchange and conservation, composition of the data of designs, and in many other ways. Especially, It is very important that VHDL is a Technical language of Hardware standardized by IEEE, intenational body with an authority. The biggest problem in modern circuit designing can be pointed out in two way. One is a problem how to process the rapidly being complicated circuit complexity. The other is minimizing the period of designing and manufacturing to survive in a cutthroat competition. To promote the use of VHDL, more than a simple use of simulation by VHDL, it is requested to use VHDL in composing logical circuit with chip manufacturing. And, by developing the quality of designing technique, it can contribute for development in domestic industry related to ASIC designing. In this paper in designing SMPS(Switching mode power supply), programming PWM by VHDL, it can print static voltage by the variable load, connect computer to chip with byteblaster, and download in Max(EPM7064SLCS4 - 5)chip of ALTER. To achieve this, it is supposed to use VHDL in modeling, simulating, compositing logic and product of the FPGA chip. Despite its limit in size and operating speed caused by the specific property of FPGA chip, it can be said that this method should be introduced more aggressively because of its prompt realization after designing.

  • The integral equation method is used for magnetotelluric (MT) modeling of a finite inhomogeneity in a two-layered earth. An integral equation relates the incident plane-wave field and the scattering currents in the three-dimensional (3-D) inhomogeneity through the electric tensor Green's function appropriate to a layered earth. This paper describes an effect of overburden and basement on MT responses of 3-D body. The effect of overburden is to reduce the detectability of target, and the reduction of detectability is more apparent for conductive overburden than for resistive one. The effect of basement, on the other hand, may enhance the anomaly due to 3-D body in the upper layer. In case of the resistive basement current perturbations about the body tend to be confined to the more conductive upper layer.

  • Excavation of underground space in soft ground implicate to the structure, such as subsidence. As a result, it has been acting as a serious risk to the stability of the roads and facilities. Therefore, in order to stabilize the soil stabilization and reinforcement of the structure, we have been using a number of methods and injecting material. In this study, we compared and analyzed the amount of subsidence regarding the ground reinforcement during underground excavation in soft ground by performing model test. And three-dimensional numerical analysis was performed using FLAC 3D. The subsidence was simulated numerically according to the tunnel excavation. The subsidence results of the model tests and numerical analyzes were relatively consistent. Thus comparing the ground subsidence by varying the reinforcement area on the numerical analysis was analyzed. As a results, three-dimensional numerical simulation could be regarded to simulate better on the ground subsidence by various kinds of underground excavation and it can be used as a material of subsidence prevention methods.

  • Recently, There are increasing number of studies that apply multi-carrier method, a land mobile communication method, to underwater channel environment in order to enhance the performance of underwater communication. Therefore, in this paper, in order to design a new system with improved communication performance compared to the multi-carrier method in underwater communication, we present that the RS(Resource Spreading) FMT-OFDM system has a diversity and repetition effect from resource spreading. Moreover, we verify the performance of RS FMT-OFDM system and existing FMT-OFDM system through simulations after modeling communication channels and setting the system parameter based on the data measured from the real sea. Our result indicate that, compared to the existing FMT-OFDM system, there has been an improvement in communication performance by 12dB based on BER $10^{-3}$ we also discovered that communication performance improves as the resource spreading rate increases.

  • For the evaluation of the capability of a tubular member of an offshore structure to absorb the collision energy, a simple method can be employed for the collision analysis without performing the detailed analysis. The most common simple method is the rigid-plastic method. However, in this method any characteristics for horizontal movement and rotation at the ends of the corresponding tubular member are not included. In a real structural system of an offshore structure, tubular members sustain a certain degree of elastic support from the adjacent structure. End fixity has influences in the behaviors of a tubular member. Three-dimensional FEM analysis can include the effect of end fixity fully, however in viewpoints of the inherent computational complexities of the 3-D approach, this is not the recommendable analysis at the initial design stage. In this paper, influence of end fixity on the behaviors of a tubular member is investigated, through a new approach and other approaches. A new analysis approach that includes the flexibility of the boundary points of the member is developed here. The flexibility at the ends of a tubular element is extracted using the rational reduction of the modeling characteristics. The property reduction is based on the static condensation of the related global stiffness matrix of a model to end nodal points of the tubular element. The load-displacement relation at the collision point of the tubular member with and without the end flexibility is obtained and compared. The new method lies between the rigid-plastic method and the 3-demensional analysis. It is self-evident that the rigid-plastic method gives high strengthening membrane effect of the member during global deformation, resulting in a steeper slope than the present method. On the while, full 3-D analysis gives less strengthening membrane effect on the member, resulting in a slow going load-displacement curve. Comparison of the load-displacement curves by the new approach with those by conventional methods gives the figures of the influence of end fixity on post-yielding behaviors of the relevant tubular member. One of the main contributions of this investigation is the development of an analytical rational procedure to figure out the post-yielding behaviors of a tubular member in offshore structures.

  • In the proposed paper numerical calculations are carried out using two versions of a three-dimensional, timedomain panel method developed by the group of Prof. P. Sclavounos at MIT, i.e. the linear code SWAN2, enabling optionally the use of the instantaneous non-linear Froude-Krylov and hydrostatic forces and the fully non-linear SWAN4. The analytical results are compared with experimental results for three hull forms with increasing geometrical complexity, the Series 60, a reefer vessel with stern bulb and a modern fast ROPAX hull form with hollow bottom in the stern region. The details of the geometrical modeling of the hull forms are discussed. In addition, since SWAN4 does not support transom sterns, only the two versions of SWAN2 were evaluated over experimental results for the parent hull form of the NTUA double-chine, wide-transom, high-speed monohull series. The effect of speed on the numerical predictions was investigated. It is concluded that both versions of SWAN2 the linear and the one with the non-linear Froude-Krylov and hydrostatic forces provide a more robust tool for prediction of the dynamic response of the vessels than the non-linear SWAN4 code. In general, their results are close to what was expected on the basis of experience. Furthermore, the use of the option of non-linear Froude-Krylov and hydrostatic forces is beneficial for the accuracy of the predictions. The content of the paper is based on the Diploma thesis of the second author, supervised by the first one and further refined by the third one.

  • Recently, as a result of increasing concern about eco-friendly power, the demand for the power stations using environmentally friendly powers such as photovoltaic energy, wind force, tidal power, and tidal current has been increasing worldwide. Among these power stations tidal current power plant requires strong current generated by the topographic characteristics of the ocean floor. Uldolmok waterway producing very strong current is an ideal location for a tidal current power generation. However the occurrence of anthropogenic underwater noise generated by the tidal current power station may affect the marine environment. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the noise radiated from the station and predict the range influenced by the radiated noise. In this paper, the measurements of radiated noise spectrum level by the tidal current power station are presented, and the source level per unit area is estimated. Finally, the propagation properties of the radiated noise in the Uldolmok waterway is evaluated from the model simulation using the parabolic equation method, RAM.
