  • In the context of the finite elements method, the dynamic behavior of porous functionally graded double wishbone vehicle suspension structural system incorporating joints flexibility constraints under road bump excitation is studied and analyzed. The functionally graded material properties distribution through the thickness direction is simulated by the power law including the porosity effect. To explore the porosity effects, both classical and adopted porosity models are considered based on even porosity distribution pattern. The dynamic equations of motion are derived based on the Hamiltonian principle. Closed forms of the inertia and material stiffness components are derived. Based on the plane frame isoparametric Timoshenko beam element, the dynamic finite elements equations are developed incorporating joint flexibilities constraints. The Newmark's implicit direct integration methodology is utilized to obtain the transient vibration time response under road bump excitation. The presented procedure is validated by comparing the computational model results with the available numerical solutions and an excellent agreement is observed. Obtained results show that the decrease of porosity percentage and material graduation tends to decrease the deflection as well as the resulting stresses of the control arms thus improving the dynamic performance and increasing the service lifetime of the control arms.

  • Bridges are exposed to very severe environment and experience, as service life increased, elevated traffic load and traffic flow, in addition to natural disasters. In comparing to other road structures, bridges may cause more significant damage, such as human-involved accidents, to the society in the event of collapse. A certain level of service shall be necessarily secured to assure the minimum safety of users. The cost for manage and preserve bridges will increase gradually and more restrictions will be loaded to efficiently distribute the limited resources, such as monetary budget and human resource etc. In order to enhance performance and serviceability of bridges with the limited resource, asset management technique has been applied into the bridge management system, which capitalizes the road infrastructures including bridges and assess them in accordance with the government finance report. In the application of asset management, there must be a tool for assess the performance of bridges and this study introduces the basic information on the definition and role of performance measures for asset management for bridges. This research suggests future development direction of performance measure for asset management for bridges in Korea.

  • Aluminum foams sandwich panel (AFSP) has been used in engineering field, where cyclic loading is used in most of the applications. In this paper, the fatigue life of AFSP prepared by the bonding method was investigated through a three-point bending test. The mathematical statistics method was used to analyze the influence of different plate thicknesses and core densities on the bending fatigue life. The macroscopic fatigue failure modes and damage mechanisms were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that panel thickness and core layer density have a significant influence on the bending fatigue life of AFSP and their dispersion. The damage mechanism of fatigue failure to cells in aluminum foam is that the initial fatigue crack begins the cell wall, the thinnest position of the cell wall or the intersection of the cell wall and the cell ridge, where stress concentrations are more likely to occur. The fatigue failure of aluminum foam core usually starts from the semi-closed unit of the lower layer, and the fatigue crack propagates layer by layer along the direction of the maximum shear stress. The results can provide a reference for the practical engineering design and application of AFSP.

  • Urban sprawl has been the limits of traffic accommodate and the supply road. Thus, Light Rail Transit(LRT) has been proposed as the best alternative. Owing to landscape damage from construction of LRT, landscape planning should be considered seriously in the urban planning step. This paper therefore seeks to determine landscape improvement direction of LRT pier. First, the methods in this study shared landscape improvement direction type of LRT pier through previous studies such as planting of surface(30%, 60%, 90% planting of surface), graphic(character, commercial advertising, symbol), and surface treatment type(exposed concrete, white painting, pattern dies). Next, respondent evaluated 3D simulated landscape image accordingly shared types by preference and landscape adjectives using in streetscape evaluation. As a result, visual preference was the highest in planting type of surface and the lowest in the surface treatment type. Covering 60%(4.48) in planting type of surface was the highest. Because it is similar to the golden ratio considering the visual principle, we will need to take advantage through the result of this paper. Also, most landscape improvement direction which satisfied with significant level showed a positive effect from landscape improvement. Comprehensively based on these results, it suggests desirable landscape improvement direction of LRT pier in the city for solution of landscape inhibition problem.

  • The proportion of agricultural products handled through the Agricultural Products Processing Center (APC) is also steadily increasing every year, and in the case of Seongju Korean melon, a total of 10 APCs of Nonghyup and farming association corporations are in operation, and the distribution ratio is about 60% based on total production. In this study, Seongju Korean melon was selected as a target to analyze the environment load during carrying (production farm ~ APC) in the production area and the transport environment load during distribution of domestic fruits, and to analyze the environmental load for handling at APC. The vertical average vibration intensity (overall Grms of 1~250 Hz) of truck transport measured at three transport routes from Seongju Korean melon producer ~ APC, Seongju ~ Seoul and Seongju ~ Jeju was about three times larger than that in the lateral direction and 4.5 times larger than that in the longitudinal direction, respectively. The frequency of occurrence of high-amplitude events (G) in the vertical direction compared to the measuring time was deeply related to pavement conditions in the order of unpaved farm-roads, concretepaved farm-roads, and asphalt-paved main-roads, but overall Grms for the entire frequency band is believed to have a greater impact on vehicle traveling speed than road conditions. On the other hand, the difference in the size and direction of the vibration intensity measured by the forklift truck's main-body and the attachment (fork carrier) during handling at Seongju Korean melon APC was clear, and the vibration intensity of the forklift truck's main-body was largely affected by the stiffness of the fork and the mast according to the handling weight. Based on the field-data of the transport environment during domestic distribution measured through this study, it is believed that it is possible to develop a lab-based simulation protocol for appropriate packaging design.

  • Ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey is a geophysical method that utilizes electromagnetic waves reflecting from a boundary where the electromagnetic property changes. As the frequency of the antenna is about 25 MHz ~ 1 GHz, it is effective to acquire high resolution images of underground pipe, artificial structure, underground cavity, and underground structure. In this study, we analyzed the change of signals reflected from the same underground objects according to the arrangement of transceiver antennas used in ground penetrating radar survey. The antenna used in the experiment was 200 MHz, and the survey was performed in the vertical direction across the sewer and the parallel direction along the sewer to the sewer buried under the road, respectively. A total of five antenna array methods were applied to the survey. The most used arrangement is when the transmitting and receiving antennas are all perpendicular to the survey line (PR-BD). The PR-BD arrangement is effective when the object underground is a horizontal reflector with an angle of less than 30°, such as the sewer under investigation. In this case study, it was confirmed that the transmitter and receiver antennas perpendicular to the survey line (PR-BD) are the most effective way to show the underground structure. In addition, in the case where the transmitting and receiving antennas are orthogonal to each other (XPOL), no specific reflected wave was observed in both experiments measured across or parallel to the sewer. Therefore, in the case of detecting undiscovered objects in the underground, the PR-BD array method in which the transmitting and receiving antennas are aligned in the direction perpendicular to the survey line taken as a reference and the XPOL method in which the transmitting and receiving antennas are orthogonal to each other are all used, it can be effective to apply both of the above arrangements after setting the direction to 45° and 135°.

  • 본 논문에서는 고속도로 트럼펫 IC형식의 연결로 선형조건 및 교통조건에 따른 교통사고특성에 관한 기초연구를 수행하였다. 교통사고 특성분석은 트럼펫 IC형식의 유입 및 유출 연결로 형태의 도로선형조건 및 교통조건에 따른 다양한 거시적 미시적 교통사고분석을 수행함으로써 연결로의 형태(직결, 준직결, 루프 연결로) 별로 도로선형조건(곡선반경, 곡률차, 본선 구배)과 교통조건(교통량)이 교통사고에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 거시적으로 사고율은 트럼펫 IC A형과 B형이 거의 유사하게 나타났으나, 사고건수는 B형이 A형보다 약 1.5배 높게 나타났다. 그리고 유출연결로의 사고율은 유입연결로보다 약3배 이상 높게 나타났다. 거시적으로 유출연결로의 사고율은 교통량, 곡률차, 첫 번째 곡선반경의 증가에 따라 지수형으로 감소하였다. 그러나 사고율과 두 번째 곡선반경의 관계는 ${\cap}$형의 관계를 보였으며, 본선구배에 따른 사고율은 본선구내 $-0.15{\sim}-0.5%$에서 높게 나타났다. 고속도로 트럼펫 IC형식 연결로의 교통사고 특성분석 결과는 비용-효율적인 트럼펫 IC 연결로의 설계를 위한 평가의 수단으로 이용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 사고취약 고속도로 연결로에 대한 개선 대안의 수립에도 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

  • 도심부의 도로네트워크에서는 도로구간의 주행시간에 비하여 교차로에서의 신호운영 및 방향별 회전으로 인하여 발생하는 통행시간이 차량주행시간에 더 큰 영향을 끼친다고 판단하는 바 이를 고려한 경로탐색이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 신호교차로에서의 비효용을 적용하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단하여 본 연구에서는 경로 탐색시 턴 페널티(Turn Penalty)를 반영하고자 하였다. 적용한 턴 페널티는 하나의 교차로에서 동일한 지체값을 적용하는 것이 아닌 교차로에서의 접근로별로, 또 동일 접근로 내에서도 회전 방향별로 나누어서 지체를 산정하여 적용하였다. 해당 연구에서 적용한 네트워크는 강남구 16개의 교차로를 포함하는 네트워크이며 미시시뮬레이션 프로그램인 PARAMICS V5.2을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석 네트워크를 통행시간지표, 임의의 턴 페널티를 적용, 산정된 턴 페널티를 적용한 Dijkstra알고리즘의 세 가지 방법으로 경로탐색을 시행하여 이를 비교·분석하였다. 분석 결과 다수의 교차로가 분포한 도심부 네트워크에서의 경로탐색에서는 통행시간지표를 활용한 경로탐색이 바람직하며 턴 페널티를 적용한 통행시간지표 Dijkstra알고리즘을 이용한 경로탐색기법이 타 기법에 비하여 경로통행시간을 단축하는 것으로 산출되었다. 해당 기법의 활용으로 인하여 경로탐색제공에서의 하나의 대안 경로로써 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
