The flow around a high-speed train with three underbody structures in the bogie area is numerically investigated using the improved delayed detached eddy simulation method. The vortex structure, pressure distribution, flow field structure, and unsteady velocity of the wake are analyzed by vortex identification criteria Q, frequency spectral analysis, empirical mode decomposition (EMD), and Hilbert spectral analysis. The results show that the structures of the bogie and its installation cabin reduce the momentum of fluid near the tail car, thus it is easy to induce flow separation and make the fluid no longer adhere to the side surface of the train, then forming vortices. Under the action of the vortices on the side of the tail car, the wake vortices have a trend of spanwise motion. But the deflector structure can prevent the separation on the side of the tail car. Besides, the bogie fairings do not affect the formation process and mechanism of the wake vortices, but the fairings prevent the low-speed fluid in the bogie installation cabin from flowing to the side of the train and reduce the number of the vortices in the wake region.

제트엔진변조(Jet Engine Modulation: JEM) 식별기법은 제트엔진의 주기적인 회전에 의해 변조되는 레이더 반사 신호로부터 제트엔진의 종류를 식별하는 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 JEM의 새로운 접근법으로서, 제트엔진의 특성을 추출하기 위한 자동화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 먼저 복소 신호의 경험적인 모드 분리법(Complex Empirical Mode Decomposition: CEMD)을 거친 JEM 신호의 자기상관도로부터 제트엔진의 회전 주기를 산출한다. 그 후 DM(Divisor-Multiplier) 규칙 및 'Scoring' 개념을 JEM 스펙트럼 해석에 도입하여 최종적인 날개개수를 추정한다. 시뮬레이션 및 측정 JEM 신호로의 적용 결과를 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 정확하고 자동적인 제트엔진 정보 추출에 효과적임을 입증하였다.

In this paper, a novel PARAllel FACtor (PARAFAC) decomposition based Blind Source Separation (BSS) algorithm is proposed for modal identification of structures equipped with tuned mass dampers. Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are extremely effective vibration absorbers in tall flexible structures, but prone to get de-tuned due to accidental changes in structural properties, alteration in operating conditions, and incorrect design forecasts. Presence of closely spaced modes in structures coupled with TMDs renders output-only modal identification difficult. Over the last decade, second-order BSS algorithms have shown significant promise in the area of ambient modal identification. These methods employ joint diagonalization of covariance matrices of measurements to estimate the mixing matrix (mode shape coefficients) and sources (modal responses). Recently, PARAFAC BSS model has evolved as a powerful multi-linear algebra tool for decomposing an $n^{th}$ order tensor into a number of rank-1 tensors. This method is utilized in the context of modal identification in the present study. Covariance matrices of measurements at several lags are used to form a $3^{rd}$ order tensor and then PARAFAC decomposition is employed to obtain the desired number of components, comprising of modal responses and the mixing matrix. The strong uniqueness properties of PARAFAC models enable direct source separation with fine spectral resolution even in cases where the number of sensor observations is less compared to the number of target modes, i.e., the underdetermined case. This capability is exploited to separate closely spaced modes of the TMDs using partial measurements, and subsequently to estimate modal parameters. The proposed method is validated using extensive numerical studies comprising of multi-degree-of-freedom simulation models equipped with TMDs, as well as with an experimental set-up.

This study analyzed the pressure patterns and local pressure of tall buildings with corner modifications (recessed and chamfered corner) using wind tunnel tests and proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). POD can distinguish pressure patterns by POD mode and more dominant pressure patterns can be found according to the order of POD modes. Results show that both recessed and chamfered corners effectively reduced wind-induced responses. Additionally, unique effects were observed depending on the ratio of corner modification. Tall building models with recessed corners showed fluctuations in the approaching wind flow in the first POD mode and vortex shedding effects in the second POD mode. With large corner modification, energy distribution became small in the first POD mode, which shows that the effect of the first POD mode reduced. Among building models with chamfered corners, vortex shedding effects appeared in the first POD mode, except for the model with the highest ratio of corner modifications. The POD confirmed that both recessed and chamfered corners play a role in reducing vortex shedding effects, and the normalized power spectral density peak value of modes showing vortex shedding was smaller than that of the building model with a square section. Vortex shedding effects were observed on the front corner surfaces resulting from corner modification, as with the side surface. For buildings with recessed corners, the local pressure on corner surfaces was larger than that of side surfaces. Moreover, the average wind pressure was effectively reduced to 88.42% and 92.40% in RE1 on the windward surface and CH1 on the side surface, respectively.

유방촬영술은 유방암의 조기검진을 위해 시행되는 대표적인 검사이다. 하지만 유방 구성물질의 물리적 특성에 의존하는 유방촬영상은 병변의 악성 또는 양성 여부에 대한 정보 제공이 불가능하다. 이중에너지 영상 감산법을 시행하는 경우 유방촬영상에서 특정 물질에 대한 정보를 추출할 수 있지만 피폭선량을 증가시킬 뿐만 아니라 물질분리의 정확도를 감소시키는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 물질의 선감약계수를 적용한 유방팬텀을 모사하여 광자계수검출기 기반 이중에너지 유방촬영에서 특정 물질에 대한 가중함수를 적용하여 분리의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있는 기술을 제안하였다. 그리고 유방팬텀영상으로부터 물질분리의 정확도를 평가하기 위해 대조도 및 잡음 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 이중에너지 가중 영상 감산법의 악성종양에 대한 대조도는 일반적인 유방촬영과 이중에너지 영상 감산법에 비해 각각 0.98, 1.06배로 큰 차이가 없다. 그렇지만 이중에너지 가중 영상 감산법 적용 시 양성종양에 대한 대조도가 0에 근사하기 때문에 양성종양에 대한 악성종양의 상대적인 대조도가 13.54배로 크게 향상된 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안하는 이중에너지 가중 영상 감산법은 유방촬영 진단의 정확도 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

We investigate the cosmic evolution of the black hole mass-bulge luminosity relation with a sample of 52 moderate-luminosity AGNs at $z{\simeq}0.36$ and $z{\simeq}0.57$, corresponding to look-back times of 4 and 6 Gyrs. By employing robust multi-component spectral and structural decomposition methods to the obtained high-quality Keck spectra and high-resolution HST images, black hole masses ($M_{BH}$) are estimated from the Hbeta broad emission line with the 5100A nuclear luminosity, and bulge luminosities ($L_{bul}$) are derived from the surface photometry. Based on these consistent measurements, we constrain the redshift evolution of the $M_{BH}-L_{bul}$ relation by performing the Monte Carlo simulations designed to account for selection effects. We provide implications of our results in terms of the black hole-galaxy co-evolution and discuss possible bulge growth mechanisms.

This paper discusses engineering aspects of the rear-flank downdraft that was recorded near Lubbock, Texas on 4 June 2002, and produced a gust wind speed nearly equal to the design value (50-year return period) for the region. The general characteristics of the storm, and the decomposition of the time histories into deterministic 'running mean' and random turbulence components are discussed. The fluctuating wind speeds generated by the event can be represented as a dominant low-frequency 'running mean' with superimposed random turbulence of higher frequencies. Spectral and correlation characteristics of the residual turbulence are found to be similar to those of high-frequency turbulence in boundary-layer winds. However, the low-frequency components in the running-mean wind speeds are spatially homogeneous, in contrast to the low-frequency turbulence found in synoptic boundary-layer winds. With respect to transmission line design, this results in significantly higher 'span reduction factors'.

The majority of experiments to characterize the turbulence in the surface layer have been performed in flat, open expanses. In order to characterize the turbulence in built-up terrain, two mobile towers were deployed during Hurricane Ike (2008) in close proximity, but downwind of different terrain conditions: suburban and open. Due to the significant non-stationarity of the data primarily caused by changes in wind direction, empirical mode decomposition was employed to de-trend the signal. Analysis of the data showed that the along-wind mean turbulence intensity of the suburban terrain was 37% higher than that of the open terrain. For the mean vertical turbulence intensity, the increase for the suburban terrain was as high as 74%, which may have important implications in structural engineering. The gust factor of the suburban terrain was also 16% higher than that of the open terrain. Compared to non-hurricane spectral models, the obtained spectra showed significantly higher energy in low frequencies especially for the open terrain.

본 논문에서는 생체 조직을 정량화하기 위한 음속의 측정법을 제안하였다. 기존의 음속 측정법에서는 주파수 분산의 영향이 무시되고 있으나, 주파수 분산은 전파 지연에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 진폭 스펙트럼으로부터 최소 위상 스펙트럼을 유도하여 주파수 분산을 정량화하였으며, 주파수 분산을 제거하기 위한 신호 분해법을 제안하였다. 또한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 이론의 유효성분을 확인하였다.
