현재 Neck CT의 경우 Thyroid와 같은 표재성 장기의 피폭을 줄이기 위해 Bismuth 차폐체를 많이 사용하고 있다. 그러나 Bismuth 차폐체의 경우 표재성 장기 부근에서 선속 경화현상이 많이 발생하고 CT Number, Noise, Uniformity값의 변동이 심하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 주위에서 쉽게 구할 수 있고 가공성이 좋은 Aluminum과 Silicone을 이용하여 기존의 Bismuth 차폐체와 비교하여 차폐체로서의 유용성을 알아보았다. Bismuth(0.06 mmPb)와 차폐율이 비슷한 두께의 Aluminum 7.3mm와 Silicone 21.5mm를 제작하였다. 팬텀(RS-108T)의 Thyroid부근에 TLD(TLD-100)을 올려놓고 각각 5회씩 선량을 측정하였다. 화질 비교를 위해 Neck CT 영상에서 Thyroid 부근 axial영상의 CT Number와 Noise의 변화를 비교하였다. 그리고AAPM팬텀의 영상에서 각각 CT Number와 Noise, Uniformity의 변화를 측정하여 비교하였다. 결과에서 Thyroid에 대한 차폐체별 선량 비교에서 Non-Shield에 비해 Bismuth 차폐체가 14%, Silicone 21.5mm 15%, Aluminum 7.3mm 13%가 감소되었다. 통계적으로 Bismuth 차폐체와 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. Thyroid 부근 영상의 CT Number의 변화에서는 Bismuth 차폐체의 변동이 가장 크게 나타났다. AAPM팬텀 영상평가의 Uniformity 평가에서는 Bismuth차폐체는 부적합으로 Aluminum 7.3mm와 Silicone 21.5mm은 합격기준을 만족하였다. 연구결과 현재 임상에 사용되고 있는 고가의 Bismuth 차폐체와 비교하여 차폐율에서 Aluminum 7.3mm와 Silicone 21.5mm은 비슷한 차폐율을 나타냈으며, 팬텀 영상평가의 항목인 CT Number의 감약 계수 변동, Noise, Uniformity의 비교 실험에서 Bismuth 차폐체보다 우수하게 나타났다. Aluminum과 Silicone을 이용하여 표재성 장기의 크기에 맞게 다양한 차폐체를 만들어 사용한다면 환자 선량을 감쇠시키는데 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 고정식 노즐 배치를 가진 대형 강우모사장치(KICT-ERS)와 이를 이용한 강우 분포 실험결과를 분석하였다. 강우 분사에 영향을 미치는 노즐 유량 실험 결과 실내 장치를 이용한 표준오차의 백분율은 0.15~0.38%였으며, KICT-ERS에 장착한 오차는 0.37~0.59%로 나타났다. 노즐의 분사 범위를 검토하기 위한 방사형과 삼각형 실험을 실시하였다. 방사형 실험에서 1개 노즐 분사시 균일계수가 0.348~0.657이었으나 주변 노즐을 포함할 경우 균일계수가 0.854~0.895로 높아져서 노즐 분사의 중첩에 의한 강우강도 증가 및 균일도 제고가 확인되었다. 삼각형 실험 결과의 균일계수는 0.845~0.896으로 나타났다. KICT-ERS 전체 범위에 대한 실험 결과 $1.5{\phi}$ 노즐의 1개 실험 케이스를 제외하면 모든 조건에서 균일계수는 0.7을 넘었으며, 균일계수는 강우강도가 증가함에 따라 높아지는 특성을 보였다. 기존 연구와의 비교 결과 KICT-ERS는 대체로 평균 이상의 균일계수를 제공하는 것으로 나타났다.

인공강우장치는 실내실험 기반의 모형실험 데이터를 생성하는 연구도구로 널리 이용되고 있다. 다양한 연구에 인공강우장치가 이용되고 있음에도 불구하고 대부분의 연구에서 강우분포의 균질성에 대한 논의는 등한시되고 있다. 다양한 강우특성이 반영된 급경사지 붕괴 모의실험을 위해서는 저강도에서 고강도까지 강우를 모사할 수 있는 강우장치가 필수적이며 실험의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해서라도 강우분포의 균질성은 확보되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 급경사지 붕괴모의실험의 주요설비인 인공강우장치의 최대 강우강도 130mm/hr 내에서 10mm/hr 단위 제어를 목표로 하며, 균등계수 80% 이상 확보하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 노즐타입, 크기, 위치 및 펌프압력에 따른 다양한 조건하에서 강우실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 노즐형태는 원형노즐, 크기는 1.9mm와 1.4mm가 적합한 것으로 분석되었고 적정 펌프압력은 3~6kg/㎠으로 분석되었다. 다양한 강우강도를 재현하기 위해 노즐수는 2, 3, 5개, 펌프압력은 3, 4, 5, 6kg/cm2로 조건을 달리하여 실험을 수행하였다. 펌프압력이 증가함에 따라 강우강도는 선형적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 펌프압력, 노즐형태 및 노즐수를 변수로 하는 강우제어 매뉴얼을 작성하였다. 또한 검증실험을 수행하여 목표 강우강도 대비 오차범위 ±3.1%, 균등계수는 평균 86.8%로 균질한 강우분포를 보였다.

Water body extraction based on backscatter information is an essential process to analyze floodaffected areas from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image. Water body in SAR image tends to have low backscatter values due to homogeneous surface of water, while non-water body has higher backscatter values than water body. Non-water body, however, may also have low backscatter values in high resolution SAR image such as Kompsat-5 image, depending on surface characteristic of the ground. The objective of this paper is to present a method to increase backscatter contrast between water body and non-water body and also to remove efficiently misclassified pixels beyond true water body area. We create an entropy image using a Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and classify the entropy image into water body and non-water body pixels by thresholding of the entropy image. In order to reduce the effect of threshold value, we also propose Water Body Texture Index (WBTI), which measures simultaneously the occurrence of repeated water body pixel pair and the uniformity of water body in the binary entropy image. The proposed method produced high overall accuracy of 99.00% and Kappa coefficient of 90.38% in water body extraction using Kompsat-5 image. The accuracy analysis indicates that the proposed WBTI method is less affected by the choice of threshold value and successfully maintains high overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient in wide threshold range.

Recently, multiple glazing units, frames, complex fenestration systems, and windows with shading devices have been developed to save cooling energy in buildings. However, very little work has been conducted on developing a direct experimental test method of the solar heat gain coefficient(SHGC) for new fenestration techniques. This study aims to develop and evaluate a test apparatus to measure the SHGC, according to the KS L 9107 test method. The performance of the solar simulator was class A, B, and A, for spectral match, non-uniformity, and instability irradiance, respectively. The differences between the measured and calculated SHGC values were found to range between 0.001 and 0.011, and for all test specimens they agreed within 4%. These results establish the validity of the test apparatus. This system is thus expected to be useful in assessing the energy performance for various types of fenestration.

In order to analyze the characteristics of propeller exciting force, the hybrid grid is adopted and the numerical prediction of KCS ship model is performed for hull-propeller-rudder system by Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) method and volume of fluid (VOF) model. Firstly, the numerical simulation of hydrodynamics for bare hull at oblique state is carried out. The results show that with the increasing of the drift angle, the coefficients of resistance, side force and yaw moment are constantly increasing, and the bigger the drift angle, the worse the overall uniformity of propeller disk. Then, propeller bearing force for hull-propeller-rudder system in oblique flow is calculated. It is found that the propeller thrust and torque fluctuation coefficient peak in drift angle are greater than that in straight line navigation, and the negative drift angle is greater than the positive. The fluctuation peak variation law of coefficient of side force and bending moment are different due to various causes.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the aerodynamic characteristics of three hypersonic configurations including pure liftbody configuration, pure waverider configuration and liftbody integrated with waverider configuration. Hypersonic forbodies were designed based on these configurations. For the purpose to integrate with ramjet or scramjet, all the forebodies were designed integrated with hypersonic inlet. To better understand the forebody performance, three dimensional flow field calculation of these hypersonic forebodies integrated with hypersonic inlet were conducted in the design and off design conditions. The computational results show that waverider offer an aerodynamic performance advantage in the terms of higher lift-drag ratios over the other two configurations. Liftbody offer good aerodynamic performance in subsonic region. The aerodynamic performance of the liftbody integrated with waverider configuration is not comparable to that of pure waverider in the terms of lift-drag ratios and is not comparable to that of pure liftbody in subsonic. But the liftbody integrated with waverider configuration exhibit good lateral-directional and longitudinal-directional stability characteristics. Both pure waverider and liftbody integrated with waverider configuration can provide relatively uniform flow for the inlet and offer good aerodynamic characteristics in the terms of recovery coefficient of total pressure and uniformity coefficient.

The present study numerically simulates the deformation heterogeneity developed in AA1100 during multi-axial diagonal forging (MADF) using finite element analysis (FEA). Diagonal forging type consisting of diagonal forging (DF) and return-diagonal forging (R-DF) proved to be relatively beneficial compared to plane forging type which includes plane forging (PF) and return-plane forging (R-PF) for minimizing the non-uniformity of deformation developed in workpieces. Simulation of the effective strain generated in workpieces during the two types of forging was done using 3-D FEA. FEA shows the effect of friction coefficient on the deformation behavior on workpieces. The simulation of 2 types forging with different friction coefficients revealed that the magnitude of barreling effect and strain heterogeneity in workpieces increases with an increase in the friction coefficient.

In this study, we conducted a research on optimizing the spraying performance of agricultural drones and predicted the spraying performance in various flight conditions using the multi-layer perceptron (MLP). Data was collected using a test device for pesticide spraying performance according to the water sensitive paper (WSP) evaluation. MLP training involved supervised learning to achieve a coefficient of variation (CV), which indicates the degree of uniform spraying. The performance evaluation was conducted using R-squared (R²), the test samples showed an R² of 0.80. The results of this study showed that drone spraying performance can be predicted under various flight environments. In addition, the correlation analysis between flight conditions and predicted spraying performance will be useful for further research on optimizing the spraying performance of agricultural drones.
