본 연구는 호주 남동부 Victoria 남부 해안을 따라 발달하고 있는 Otway 산맥 일대에서 지난 5 Ma 동안의 신기지체구조 운동의 성격을 해안 산악 지역을 따라 분포하고 있는 해안단구의 발달상을 통해 밝히고 있다. OSL 연대 측정으로부터 얻은 저위 해안단구면의 융기율은 판 내부 구조운동의 영향이 현생 지형 발달에 미치는 결과를 명확히 보여주고 있다. 또한 본 연구는 제4기 해안단구와 플라이오세 고해수준 기록 간의 층서적 관계를 통해 후기 신제3기 이후에 나타나는 지구조 운동의 변화적 속성을 밝히고 있다. 이와 같은 후기 신제3기 이후 가속화된 지구조 운동 반응은 호주-태평양판의 이동성의 변화와 이에 따른 경계 응력의 증가가 대륙 내부 응력 수준에도 영향을 미친 결과로 이해된다.

Dynamic displacement of structures is an important index for in-service structural condition and behavior assessment, but accurate measurement of structural displacement for large-scale civil structures such as long-span bridges still remains as a challenging task. In this paper, a vision-based dynamic displacement measurement system with the use of digital image processing technology is developed, which is featured by its distinctive characteristics in non-contact, long-distance, and high-precision structural displacement measurement. The hardware of this system is mainly composed of a high-resolution industrial CCD (charge-coupled-device) digital camera and an extended-range zoom lens. Through continuously tracing and identifying a target on the structure, the structural displacement is derived through cross-correlation analysis between the predefined pattern and the captured digital images with the aid of a pattern matching algorithm. To validate the developed system, MTS tests of sinusoidal motions under different vibration frequencies and amplitudes and shaking table tests with different excitations (the El-Centro earthquake wave and a sinusoidal motion) are carried out. Additionally, in-situ verification experiments are performed to measure the mid-span vertical displacement of the suspension Tsing Ma Bridge in the operational condition and the cable-stayed Stonecutters Bridge during loading tests. The obtained results show that the developed system exhibits an excellent capability in real-time measurement of structural displacement and can serve as a good complement to the traditional sensors.

항공기 사고 중에서 주요 원인 중 하나인 조종상태 지상충돌(Controlled Flight Into Terrain, CFIT)을 해결하기 위하여 대지 접근 경고 장치(Ground Proximity Warning System, GPWS)를 사용하여 항공기 아랫부분의 지형에 대해서 지형충돌 경고를 출력한다. 이러한 대지 접근 경고 장치도 적시에 경고가 발생하지 않아 많은 문제가 있었다. 본 논문에서는 비행 상태와 지형정보를 이용하여 속도가 빠르고, 고기동을 하는 전투기에 대해서 보다 효율적인 지형/장애물 충돌 회피 경고 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 이 알고리듬에는 조종사의 반응시간을 포함하여 항공기의 지연시간을 고려하였고, 일련의 검증을 통해 실제 탑재 가능한 알고리듬을 제시하였다.

실시간 차량동역학 해석을 위해서는 효율적인 차량 모델이 필요하게 된다. 효율성을 높이기 위해 집중질량모델로 가정하면 현가장치의 특성을 고려하기 어렵게 되며, 현가장치의 특성을 모두 고려한 다물체동역학 모델에서는 효율성이 떨어진다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 다물체동역학 모델링을 사용하되 해석의 효율성을 저하시키는 현가장치의 각종 요소들의 효과는 기구정역학 실험으로 추출된 특성그래프로 대체함으로써 효율성도 기하고자 시도하였다. $6{\times}6$ 차량을 차체와 휠로 구성된 차량으로 모델을 정의하였고, 다물체동역학 모델인 ADAMS 결과와 비교하여 실험적 모델의 유용성을 검증하였다. 그리고 검증된 실험적 차량모델을 RT-LAB을 활용한 실시간 시뮬레이션 환경에 삽입하여, 실시간성 시뮬레이션의 가능성을 검증하였다.

Objective : Preoperative parameters including the T1 slope (T1S) and C2-C7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA) have been recognized as predictors of kyphosis after laminoplasty, which is accompanied by posterior neck muscle damage. The importance of preoperative parameters has been under-estimated in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) because there is no posterior neck muscle damage. We aimed to determine whether postoperative subsidence and pseudarthrosis could be predicted according to specific parameters on preoperative plain radiographs. Methods : We retrospectively analyzed 41 consecutive patients (male : female, 22 : 19; mean age, $51.15{\pm}9.25years$) who underwent ACDF with a stand-alone polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) cage (>1 year follow-up). Parameters including SVA, T1S, segmental angle and range of motion (ROM), C2-C7 cervical angle and ROM, and segmental inter-spinous distance were measured on preoperative plain radiographs. Risk factors of subsidence and pseudarthrosis were determined using multivariate logistic regression. Results : Fifty-five segments (27 single-segment and 14 two-segment fusions) were included. The subsidence and pseudarthrosis rates based on the number of segments were 36.4% and 29.1%, respectively. Demographic data and fusion level were unrelated to subsidence. A greater T1S was associated with a lower risk of subsidence (p=0.017, odds ratio=0.206). A cutoff value of T1S<$28^{\circ}$ significantly predicted subsidence (sensitivity : 70%, specificity : 68.6%). There were no preoperative predictors of pseudarthrosis except old age. Conclusion : A lower T1S (T1S<$28^{\circ}$) could be a risk factor of subsidence following ACDF. Surgeons need to be aware of this risk factor and should consider various supportive procedures to reduce the subsidence rates for such cases.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the validity of transmitting boundaries in dynamic analysis of soil-structure interaction problems. As a case study, the proposed Baghdad metro line is considered. The information about the dimensions and the material properties of the concrete tunnel and surrounding soil were obtained from a previous study. A parametric study is carried out to investigate the effect of several parameters including the peak value of the horizontal component of earthquake displacement records and the frequency of the dynamic load. The computer program (Mod-MIXDYN) is used for the analysis. The numerical results are analyzed for three conditions; finite boundaries (traditional boundaries), infinite boundaries modelled by infinite elements (5-node mapped infinite element) presented by Selvadurai and Karpurapu, 1988), and infinite boundaries modelled by dashpot elements (viscous boundaries). It was found that the transmitting boundary absorbs most of the incident energy. The distinct reflections observed for the "fixed boundaries" disappear by using "transmitted boundaries". This is true for both cases of using viscous boundaries or mapped infinite elements. The type and location of the dynamic load represent two controlling factors in deciding the importance of using infinite boundaries. It was found that the results present significant differences when earthquake is applied as a base motion or a pressure load is applied at the surface ground. The peak value of the vertical displacement at nodes A, B, E and F (located at the tunnel's crown and side walls, and at the surface above the tunnel and at the surface 6.5 m away from tunnel's centre respectively) increases with the frequency of the surface pressure load for both cases 1 and 2 (traditional boundaries and mapped infinite elements respectively) while it decreases for case 3 (viscous boundaries). The modular ratio Ec/Es (modulus of elasticity of the concrete lining to that of the surrounding soil) has a considerable effect on the peak value of the horizontal displacement at node B (on the side wall of the tunnel lining) increase about (17.5) times, for the three cases (1, 2, and 3).

최근에 선박이 대형화되는 추세에 힘입어 조선소는 광폭천흘수선, 초대형 원유운반선 및 초대형 컨테이너선 등을 건조하고 있다. 이와 같은 선박은 상대적으로 다른 선박에 비해 강성이 작기 때문에 파랑 중에서 유탄성 운동을 하게 되고, 입사하는 파고가 작은 경우에도 선체의 2절 모드의 진동에 의해 선체의 갑판이 피로 파괴되는 경우가 종종 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서 전진하는 선박의 유체 압력을 계산하기 위해 적분방정식은 3차원 소오스 분포법을 사용하고, 그린함수는 전진하면서 동요하는 형태를 이용하였다. 방사문제는 선박을 여러 개의 단면으로 나누어 단면간의 간섭효과를 고려하여 heave 및 pitch 강제동요와 관련된 부가질량 및 조파 감쇠계수를 계산하였고, 파강제력은 각 단면에서 선행해에 의한 힘만 고려하였다. 선박의 각 단면의 수직운동은 선박에 대한 운동방정식을 이용하고 강성행렬은 오일러 보 이론에 의해 산정되었다. 계산은 Esso-Osaka 선박을 모델로 도입하여 입사하는 파도의 주파수가 변함에 따른 선박의 각 단면에 대한 운동, 굽힘 모우멘트를 계산하였다.

In this paper, a deformation measurement technology for nuclear fuel rods is proposed. The deformation measurement system includes a high-definition CMOS image sensor, a lens, a semiconductor laser line beam marker, and optical and mechanical accessories. The basic idea of the proposed deformation measurement system is to illuminate the outer surface of a fuel rod with a collimated laser line beam at an angle of 45 degrees or higher. For this method, it is assumed that a nuclear fuel rod and the optical axis of the image sensor for observing the rod are vertically composed. The relative motion of the fuel rod in the horizontal direction causes the illuminated laser line beam to move vertically along the surface of the fuel rod. The resulting change of the laser line beam position on the surface of the fuel rod is imaged as a parabolic beam in the high-definition CMOS image sensor. An ellipse model is then extracted from the parabolic beam pattern. The center coordinates of the ellipse model are taken as the feature of the deformed fuel rod. The vertical offset of the feature point of the nuclear fuel rod is derived based on the displacement of the offset in the horizontal direction. Based on the experimental results for a nuclear fuel rod sample with a formation of surface crud, an inspection resolution of 50 ${\mu}m$ is achieved using the proposed method. In terms of the degree of precision, this inspection resolution is an improvement of more than 300% from a 150 ${\mu}m$ resolution, which is the conventional measurement criteria required for the deformation of neutron irradiated fuel rods.

To control the stochastic vibration of a vibration-sensitive instrument supported on a beam, the beam is designed as a sandwich structure with magneto-rheological visco-elastomer (MRVE) core. The MRVE has dynamic properties such as stiffness and damping adjustable by applied magnetic fields. To achieve better vibration control effectiveness, the optimal bounded parametric control for the MRVE sandwich beam with supported mass under stochastic and deterministic support motion excitations is proposed, and the stochastic and shock vibration suppression capability of the optimally controlled beam with multi-mode coupling is studied. The dynamic behavior of MRVE core is described by the visco-elastic Kelvin-Voigt model with a controllable parameter dependent on applied magnetic fields, and the parameter is considered as an active bounded control. The partial differential equations for horizontal and vertical coupling motions of the sandwich beam are obtained and converted into the multi-mode coupling vibration equations with the bounded nonlinear parametric control according to the Galerkin method. The vibration equations and corresponding performance index construct the optimal bounded parametric control problem. Then the dynamical programming equation for the control problem is derived based on the dynamical programming principle. The optimal bounded parametric control law is obtained by solving the programming equation with the bounded control constraint. The controlled vibration responses of the MRVE sandwich beam under stochastic and shock excitations are obtained by substituting the optimal bounded control into the vibration equations and solving them. The further remarkable vibration suppression capability of the optimal bounded control compared with the passive control and the influence of the control parameters on the stochastic vibration suppression effectiveness are illustrated with numerical results. The proposed optimal bounded parametric control strategy is applicable to smart visco-elastic composite structures under deterministic and stochastic excitations for improving vibration control effectiveness.

PURPOSE. To evaluate the wear of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) dental ceramic materials opposed by enamel as a function of increased chewing forces. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The enamel cusps of healthy human third molar teeth (n = 40) opposed by materials from CAD-CAM dental ceramic groups (n = 10), including Vita Enamic^® (ENA), a polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN); GC Cerasmart^® (CERA), a resin nanoceramic; Celtra^® Duo (DUO), a zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) ceramic; and IPS e.max ZirCAD (ZIR), a polycrystalline zirconia, were exposed to chewing simulation (1,200,000 cycles; 120 N load; 1 Hz frequency; 0.7 mm lateral and 2 mm vertical motion). The wear of both enamel cusps and materials was quantified using a 3D laser scanner, and the wear mechanisms were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results were analysed using Welch ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis test (α = .05). RESULTS. ZIR showed lower volume loss (0.02 ± 0.01 mm³) than ENA, CERA and DUO (P = .001, P = .018 and P = .005, respectively). The wear of cusp/DUO [0.59 mm³ (0.50-1.63 mm³)] was higher than cusp/CERA [0.17 mm³ (0.04-0.41 mm³)] (P = .007). ZIR showed completely different wear mechanism in SEM. CONCLUSION. Composite structured materials such as PICN and ZLS ceramic exhibit more abrasive effect on opposing enamel due to their loss against wear, compared to uniform structured zirconia. The resin nano-ceramic causes the lowest enamel wear thanks to its flexible nano-ceramic microstructure. While zirconia appears to be an enamel-friendly material in wear volume loss, it can cause microstructural defects of enamel.
