Piezo-based active structural health monitoring (SHM) requires amplifiers specifically designed for capacitive loads. Moreover, with the increase in number of applications of wireless SHM systems, energy efficiency and cost reduction for this type of amplifiers is becoming a requirement. General lab grade amplifiers are big and costly, and not built for outdoor environments. Although some piezoceramic power amplifiers are available in the market, none of them are specifically targeting the wireless constraints and low power requirements. In this paper, a piezoceramic transducer amplifier for wireless active SHM systems has been designed. Power requirements are met by two digital On/Off switches that set the amplifier in a standby state when not in use. It provides a stable ${\pm}180$ Volts output with a bandwidth of 7k Hz using a single 12 V battery. Additionally, both voltage and current outputs are provided for feedback control, impedance check, or actuator damage verification. Vibration control tests of an aluminum beam were conducted in the University of Houston lab, while wireless active SHM tests of a wind turbine blade were performed in the Harbin Institute of Technology wind tunnel. The results showed that the developed amplifier provided equivalent results to commercial solutions in suppressing structural vibrations, and that it allows researchers to perform active wireless SHM on moving objects with no power wires from the grid.

As the IAEA has applied integrated safeguards and a state level approach to member states, the importance of national inspection has increased. However, the requirements for national inspection for some member states are different from the IAEA safeguards. In particular, the national inspection for the ROK requires on-site U concentration analysis due to a domestic notification. This research proposes an on-site U concentration analysis (OUCA) method for UO₂ pellets using gamma spectroscopy to satisfy the domestic notification requirement. The OUCA method calculates the U concentration of UO₂ pellets using the measured net X-ray counts and declared ²³⁵U enrichment. This research demonstrates the feasibility of the OUCA method using both MCNP simulation and experiment. It simulated and measured the net X-ray counts of different UO₂ pellets with different U concentrations and ²³⁵U enrichments. The simulated and measured net X-ray counts were fitted to polynomials as a function of U concentration and ²³⁵U enrichment. The goodness-of-fit results of both simulation and experiment demonstrated the feasibility of the OUCA method.

To ensure the international competitiveness of the domestic offshore plant industry, a consensus has been formed regarding the requirement for large offshore basins for performing offshore plant performance verification. Accordingly, the Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering has built the world's largest deep ocean engineering basin (DOEB). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the characteristics of velocity distribution under various conditions of the DOEB. An independent measuring jig is designed and manufactured to measure the current velocities of many locations within a short time. The measurement jig is a 15-m-high triangular-truss structure, and the measurement sensors can move 15 m vertically through an electric motor-wire device. The current speed is measured under various impeller revolutions per minute and locations of the DOEB using the jig. The spatial distribution characteristics of the current velocity in the DOEB and the performance of the current generator are analyzed. The maximum speed is 0.56 m/s in the center of the DOEB water surface, thereby confirming sufficient current velocity distribution uniformity for model testing.

In this paper, we propose schemes of blockchain utilization in tactical communication environment. The military tactical communication environment has similar characteristics with blockchain network such as distributed architecture, decentralization, and the need for data integrity. A communication node constituting a tactical communication network is constituted by a system capable of configuring and connecting a network for each node. When a communication node, having such capabilities, is configured as a node of blockchain network, various functions could be performed. In this paper, we propose utilization schemes of authentication, integrity, record management, and privilege control based blockchain technology. Functions for authentication, integrity verification, and record management need to ensure the stored data and could track history. The requirement of function's characteristics are matched to blockchain which is storing data sequentially and difficult to hack data, so that it could perform functionally and sufficiently well. Functions for authority control should be able to assign different privileges according to the state of the requestor. Smart contract will function when certain conditions are satisfied and it will be able to perform its functions by using it. In this paper, we will look over functions and utilization schemes of blockchain technology which could reliably share and synchronize data in a tactical communication environment composed of distributed network environment.

This paper describes the systems engineering development process for the Departure from Nucleate Boiling Ratio (DNBR) algorithm using FPGA. Current Core Protection Calculator System (CPCS) requirement and DNBR logic are analyzed in the reverse engineering phase and the new FPGA based DNBR algorithm is designed in the re-engineering phase. FPGA based DNBR algorithm is developed by VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) in the implementation phase and VHDL DNBR software is verified in the software Verification & Validation phase. Test cases are developed to perform the software module test for VHDL software modules. The APR 1400 simulator is used to collect the inputs data in 100%, 75%, and 50% reactor power condition. Test input signals are injected to the software modules following test case tables and output signals are compared with the expected test value. Minimum DNBR value from developed DNBR algorithm is validated by KEPCO E&C CPCS development facility. This paper summarizes the process to develop the FPGA-based DNBR calculation algorithm using systems engineering approach.

Encouragement of DER from Korean government with several policies boosts DER installation in power system. When the penetration of DER in the grid is getting high, loss of generation with break-away of DER by abnormal grid conditions should be considered, because loss of high generation causes abnormal low frequency and additional operations of protection system. Therefore, KEPCO where is Korean power utility is preparing improvement in regulations for DERs connected to the grid to support abnormal grid conditions such as low and high frequencies or voltages. This is called 'Ride Through' because the requirement is for DER to maintain grid connection during required periods when abnormal grid conditions occur. However, it is not easy to have a test for ride through capability in reality because emulation of abnormal grid conditions is not possible in real power system in operation. Also, it is not easy to have a study on grid effect when ride through capability fails with the same reason. PHILs (Power Hardware In the Loop System) makes it possible to analyze power system and hardware performance at once. Therefore, this paper introduces PHILs test methods and presents verification of ride through capability especially for low voltage grid conditions.

In response to China's "Regulations on the Management of Earthquake Resistance of Building Constructions" on the provision of eight types of important buildings to maintain functional after fortified earthquakes occur, "Guidelines for Seismic Design of post-quake functional buildings (Draft for Review)" distinguishes Class I and Class II buildings, and gives the performance objectives and seismic verification requirements for design earthquakes and severe earthquakes respectively. In this paper, a hospital and a school building are selected as examples to design according to the requirements of fortification of Intensity 8 and 7 respectively. Two design strategies, the seismic isolation scheme and energy dissipation scheme, are considered which are evaluated through elastic-plastic dynamic time-history analysis to meet the requirement of post-quake functional buildings. The results show that the seismic isolation design can meet the requirements in the above cases, and the energy dissipation scheme is difficult to meet the requirements of the "Guidelines" on floor acceleration in some cases, for which the scheme shall be made valid through the seismic resilience assessment. The research in this paper can provide a reference for designers to choose schemes for post-quake functional buildings.

사용자를 인증하는데 생체인식(biometrics)을 사용하는 것은 보안성과 편리성에서 우수함에도 불구하고, 생체 정보를 사용하는 전형적인 인증 알고리즘은 스마트카드(smart cards)와 같은 자원이 한정된 장치에서는 실행되지 못할 수도 있다. 따라서, 제한된 자원을 갖는 장치에서 생체인식 과정이 수행되기 위해서는 적은 메모리와 처리 능력을 요구하는 가벼운 인증 알고리즘의 개발이 필요하다. 또한 생물학적 특징들 중에서 얼굴에 의한 인증은 인간에게 보다 친숙하고 얼굴 영상 획득이 비강제성을 띤다는 점에서 사용하기 가장 편리한 생체인식 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 생체인식 기술 연구의 일환으로 새로운 얼굴 인중 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 얼굴 인증 알고리즘은 두 가지 면에서 새로운 특성을 갖는다. 그 하나는 유전자 알고리즘(GA: Genetic Algorithms) 에 의해 추출된 특징 집합(feature set)을 입력벡터로 사용하는 Support Vector Machines(SVM)을 얼굴인증에 이용함으로써 메모리 요구량을 감소시킨다는 것이다. 다른 하나는, 필요에 따라 특징 집합의 크기 조절에 대한 시스템 파라미터를 조절함으로써, 인식률은 다소 감소하더라도 인증 과정에 필요한 메모리양을 더욱 더 감소시킬 수 있다는 것이다. 이러한 특성은 메모리양이 한정된 장치에서 얼굴 인중 알고리즘을 수행할 수 있게 하는 데 상당히 효과적이다. 다양한 변화가 있는 얼굴 데이터베이스들에 대하여 실험한 결과, GA에 의해 선택된 식별력이 우수한 특징들을 SVM의 입력벡터로 사용하는 제안한 얼굴 인증 알고리즘이, GA에 의한 특징 선택 과정이 없는 알고리즘보다 정확성과 메모리 요구량에서 우수한 성능을 보임을 알 수 있다. 또한 시스템 파라미터의 변경 실험에 의해 선택될 특징의 개수가 조절될 수 있음을 보인다.

헬기와 같은 항공기의 신규 개발에는 시제품 설계 및 제작과 함께 많은 시간동안 비행시험을 통한 안전성 검증이 요구된다. 비행시험을 수행하는 시험평가 단계는 시스템의 개발에 있어 성공을 좌우하는 중요한 과정이며, 특히, 공격헬기 개발을 위해서는 무장분야 비행시험을 통한 안전성 검증이 매우 중요하다. 이러한 공격헬기의 개발에 있어서 무장분야 비행시험 관련 시험평가 기간 및 비용은 비행시험의 소요탄약 발수와 밀접한 관계가 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 미 군사 규격인 ADS-44-HDBK와 유사 사례로 AH-1 헬기의 분석을 통해 공격헬기 개발 간 무장분야 비행시험에 요구되는 탄약소요량을 제시하였다. AH-1 헬기의 사례 분석을 통해 중복 사격시험 배제 및 형상차이를 고려하여 탄약 요구량 산출이 가능하며, 기관총 장착 형상의 경우 사격시험 관련 탄약이 약 10,500R 요구되고, 로켓 장착 형상의 경우 사격시험 관련 탄약이 약 324R 요구된다. 또한, 무장통합벤치를 적절하게 사용을 한다면 무장분야 비행시험간 발생 가능한 위험요소 식별하여 미연에 배제함으로써 무장분야 비행시험의 효율적 추진이 예상된다.
