Since the isolation bearings undergo large displacements in base-isolated structures, impact with adjacent structures is inevitable. Therefore, in this investigation, the effect of impact on seismic response of isolated structures mounted on double concave friction pendulum (DCFP) bearings subjected to near field ground motions is considered. A non-linear viscoelastic model of collision is used to simulate structural pounding more accurately. 2-, 4- and 8-story base-isolated buildings adjacent to fixed-base structures are modeled and the coupled differential equations of motion related to these isolated systems are solved in the MATLAB environment using the SIMULINK toolbox. The variation of seismic responses such as base shear, displacement in the isolation system and superstructure (top floor) is computed to study the impact condition. Also, the effects of variation of system parameters: isolation period, superstructure period, size of seismic gap between two structures, radius of curvature of the sliding surface and friction coefficient of isolator are contemplated in this study. It is concluded that the normalized base shear, bearing and top floor displacement increase due to impact with adjacent structure. When the distance between two structures decreases, the base shear and displacement increase comparing to no impact condition. Besides, the increase in friction coefficient difference also causes the normalized base shear and displacement in isolation system and superstructure increase in comparison with bi-linear hysteretic behavior of base isolation system. Totally, the comparison of results indicates that the changes in values of friction coefficient have more significant effects on 2-story building than 4- and 8-story buildings.

본 논문에서는 이동 창 함수 추적기라는 새로운 추적 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 이동표적의 궤적을 효율적으로 추정하기 위해 과거 궤적의 정보를 포함하는 이동 구간이 선형이라는 가정을 한 선형 창 함수를 적용하여 구현한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 창 함수의 파라메터는 측정 잡음의 영향을 줄이기 위해 그리고 알파-베터 추적기와 비교하여 더 적은 계산량 증가로 빠른 이동 표적 추적을 구현하기 위해 적절하게 선택할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 창 함수 추적기를 검증하기 위해 잡음상황에서 선형과 비선형 궤적에 대한 컴퓨터 모의실험을 수행했다. 또한 제안된 창 함수 추적기는 초기값에 대한 둔감한 특성과 예측할 수 없는 시변 측정 환경에서 창 함수 추적기를 사용할 경우 더 높은 자유도를 가짐을 보였다.

The monopole theory has long been used to model air-pumped effect from the elastic cavities in car tire. This approach models the change of an air as a Piston moving backward and forward on a spring and equates local air movements exactly with the volume changes of the system. Thus, the monopole theory has a restricted domain of applicability due to the usual assumption of a small amplitude acoustic wave equation and acoustic monopole theory This paper describes an approach to predict the air-pumping noise of a car tyre with CFD/Kirchhoff integral method. The tyre groove is simply modeled as piston-cavity-sliding door geometry and with the aid of CFD technique flow properties in the groove of rolling car tyre are acquired.'rhese unsteady flow data are used as a air-pumping source in the next CFD calculation of full tyre-road geometry. Acoustic far field is predicted from Kirchhoff integral method by using unsteady flow data in space and time which is provided by the CFD calculation of full tyre-road domain. This approach can cover the non-linearity of acoustic monopole theory with the aid of Non-linear governing equation in CFD calculation. The method proposed in this paper is applied to the prediction of air-pumping noise of simply modeled car tyre and through the predicted results, the influence of nonlinear effect on air-pumping noise propagation is investigated.

One of the major threats to the stability of classical columns and colonnades are earthquakes. The behavior of columns under high seismic excitation loads is non-linear and complex since rocking, wobbling and sliding failure modes can occur. Therefore, three dimensional simulation approaches are essential to investigate the in-plane and out-of-plane response of such structures during harmonic and seismic loading excitations. Using a software based on the Distinct Element Method (DEM) of analysis, a three dimensional numerical study has been performed to investigate the parameters affecting the seismic behaviour of colonnades' structural systems. A typical section of the two-storey colonnade of the Forum in Pompeii has been modelled and studied parametrically, in order to identify the main factors affecting the stability and to improve our understanding of the earthquake behaviour of such structures. The model is then used to compare the results between 2D and 3D simulations emphasizing the different response for the selected earthquake records. From the results analysis, it was found that the high-frequency motion requires large base acceleration amplitude to lead to the collapse of the colonnade in a shear-slip mode between the drums. However, low-frequency harmonic excitations are more prominent to cause structural collapse of the two-storey colonnade than the high-frequency ones with predominant rocking failure mode. Finally, the 2D analysis found to be unconservative since underestimates the displacement demands of the colonnade system when compared with the 3D analysis.

180 different 2D numerical analyses have been carried out to estimate the factor of safety (FOS) for rooted slopes. Four different types of vegetated coverage and a variety of slope geometry considering three types of soil have been evaluated in this study. The highly influenced parameters on the slope's FOS are determined. They have been chosen as the input parameters for developing a new practical relationship to estimate the FOS with an emphasis on the roots effects. The dependency of sliding mode and shape considering the soil and roots-type has been evaluated by using the numerical finite element model. It is observed that the inclination and height of the slope and the coverage type are the most important effective factors in FOS. While the soil strength parameters and its physical properties would be considered as the second major group that affects the FOS. Achieved results from the developed relationship have shown the acceptable estimation for the roots slope. The extracted R square from the proposed relationship considering nonlinear estimation has been achieved up to 0.85. As a further cross check, the achieved R square from a multi-layer neural network has also been observed to be around 0.92. The numerical verification considering different scenarios has been done in the current evaluation.

암반사면의 전도파괴는 암반이나 토체가 기존 파괴면을 따라 미끄러지는 다른 파괴형태와는 달리 암주 혹은 암블록의 회전을 동반하는 파괴형태로 정의된다. 이는 사면방향에 대해 역방향으로 발달된 불연속면이 존재하는 구역에서 주로 발생하며, 불연속면의 지질학적 특성뿐 아니라 기하학적인 특성도 사면의 안정성을 판단하는 중요한 요소로 작용된다. 본 연구에서는 역방향 불연속면이 발달된 절토사면에 대해 안정성을 평가하였다. 일반적으로 암반의 파괴거동은 불연속체 특성을 가지고 있으나 최근 연속체 해석에서 불연속면을 모사하는 수치해석방법들이 많이 논의되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 연속체 해석인 유한요소해석에 불연속면을 이질적인 경계특성에 적용되는 계면요소를 이용하여 모사함으로써 불연속면이 고려된 사면의 거동특성을 파악하였다.

호안은 제방을 보호하기 위하여 제방법면에 설치되는 구조물로써, 국내 외 설계기준에 의하여 호안을 설계할 때, 하상과 호안법면에서의 최대 소류력을 산정하여 제방 사면에 평균적인 개념으로 적용하고 있다. 제방 사면의 허용소류력을 산정하는 경우에는 비점착성 토사를 기준으로 사면의 흘러내림을 고려하지만, 본 연구에서는 0 < ${\Phi}$ < $90^{\circ}$ 의 경사를 갖는 점착성 제방 단면의 구간별 소류력 공식을 제안하였으며, 호안의 식생밀도와 공법 재료 변화에 따른 허용소류력을 산정하였다. 구간별 소류력을 산정하기 위하여 길이 20m, 폭 2m의 개수로를 설치하였고, 유량 조건을 변화하면서 수리모형실험을 수행하였다. 제방 사면의 구간별 허용소류력을 산정한 결과 호안 재료 변화에 따라서는 조도가 큰 공법의 허용소류력이 가장 크게 산정되었으며, 식생밀도에 의한 영향으로는 식생이 있는 경우 저항에 의하여 허용소류력이 증가되었지만, 밀도변화에 의하여는 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았다.

Grunt (Stick-slip) noise happens between rear lining and drum on braking condition while vehicle is returning to steady position after nose-dive. The study presents a new testing and analysis methods for improving brake grunt noise on vehicle. Grunt noise is called a kind of stick slip noise with below 1kHz frequency that is caused by the surfaces alternating between sticking to each other and sliding over each other with a corresponding change in friction force. This noise is typically come from that the static friction coefficient of surfaces is much higher than the kinetic friction coefficient. For the identification of the excitation mechanism and improvement of grunt noise, it is necessary to study variable parameters of rear drum brake systems on vehicle and to implement CAE analysis with stick slip model of drum brake. The aim of this study has been to find solution parameters throughout test result on vehicle and dynamo test. As a result of this study, it is generated from stick slip between rear lining and rear drum and it can be solved to reduce contact angle of lining with asymmetric and is effected not only brake drum strength but also rear brake size and brake factor.

다양한 환경을 포함하고 있는 동영상에서 움직이는 객체를 추출, 인식하기 위해서는 배경 모델링이 중요하다. 이러한 객체 인식을 위한 전처리 과정인 배경 모델링을 위한 여러 방안이 제안되었다. 그중 큐 기반 배경 모델링으로 대표되는 Kumar의 방법이 있다. 하지만 이는 프레임의 갱신검사 주기가 고정되어 있어 여러 시스템에 적용시키는데 한계점이 있다. 본 논문은 큐 기반 배경 모델링 기법을 이용하고 이때 주요한 환경 변수가 되는 슬라이딩 윈도우의 크기 및 영상의 자기 단계에 따른 그룹핑 크기, 프레임의 갱신검사 주기를 배경 모델에 따라 적응적으로 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 배경 모델에 따른 환경변수를 결정하기 위해 객체 검출율, 객체 오검출율, 갱신율을 평가 기준으로 삼는다. 제안된 방법으로 실시간 처리에 부적합한 기존의 배경 모델링 방법을 개선하여 보다 효과적으로 객체를 인식할 수 있다.

An electromagnetic launcher (EML) system accelerates and launches a projectile by converting electric energy into kinetic energy. There are two types of EML systems under development: the rail gun and the coil gun. A railgun comprises a pair of parallel conducting rails, along which a sliding armature is accelerated by the electromagnetic effects of a current that flows down one rail, into the armature and then back along the other rail, but the high mechanical friction between the projectile and the rail can damage the projectile. A coil gun launches the projectile by the attractive magnetic force of the electromagnetic coil. A higher projectile muzzle velocity needs multiple stages of electromagnetic coils, which makes the coil gun EML system longer. As a result, the installation cost of a coil gun EML system is very high due to the large installation site needed for the EML. We present a coil gun EML system that has a new structure and arrangement for multiple electromagnetic coils to reduce the length of the system. A mathematical model of the proposed coil gun EML system is developed in order to calculate the magnetic field and forces, and to simulate the muzzle velocity of a projectile by driving and switching the electric current into multiple stages of electromagnetic coils. Using the proposed design, the length of the coil gun EML system is shortened by 31% compared with a conventional coil gun system while satisfying a target projectile muzzle velocity of over 100 m/s.
