This paper develops a finite element model for studying the crashworthiness analysis of a mid-size truck. A simulation for a truck frontal crash to a rigid barrier using the model is performed with PAM-CRASH installed in super computer SP2. Full vehicle model is composed of 86467 shell elements, 165 beam elements and 98 bar elements, and 86769 nodes. The model uses four material model such as elastic, elastic-plastic(steel), rigid and elastic-plastic(rubber) material model which are in PAM-CRASH. Frame and suspension system are modeled with 28774 shell elements and 31412 nodes. Cab is modeled with 34680 shell elements and 57 beam elements, and 36254 nodes. Bumper is modeled with 2262 shell elements, and 2508 nodes. Axle, steering shaft, etc are modeled using beam or bar elements. Mounting parts are modeled using rigid bodies. Bodies are interconnected using nodal constrains or joint options. To verify the developed model, frontal crash test with 30mph velocity to a rigid barrier is carried out. In the crash test, vehicle pulse at lower part of b-pillar is measured, and deformed shapes of frame and driver seat area are photographed. Those measured vehicle pulse and photographed pictures are compared those from the simulation to verify the developed finite element model.

In an effort to further exploit the peak ground-motion acceleration (PGA) information per second available in real time by the enacted law, bracketed summations of the PGA per second ($BSPGA_k$) for 30 seconds based on the records with a rate of 100 samples were compared with the cumulative absolute velocity (CAV) and earthquake intensities based on a worldwide database of records from small-to-large earthquakes. The CAV, currently in use as an earthquake damage indicator for nuclear power plants due to its strong correlation with the earthquake intensity, has the disadvantage of requiring a massive amount of digital data with a rate of more than 100 samples per second. The comparative study shows that the $BSPGA_k$ is well correlated with the CAV over the wide range of strong ground-motion levels, which suggests that the $BSPGA_k$ is one of the new promising ground-motion parameters especially useful for rapid earthquake alert notifications through an earthquake monitoring network. Based on the domestic database of records from small-to-moderate earthquakes with felt reports, it is also observed that the $BSPGA_k$ is comparable to the CAV and better than the PGA in predicting the intensity by using the correlation relation.

This paper is concerned with an experimental research to random vibration control caused by external loads specially in bridges which tend to be structurally flexible. Experimenting on a reduced structure modelled on Seohae Grand Bridge, we inflicted a reduced form of El-centro wave on the model structure to a proper proportion. On the center of its middle span, we placed a shear type MR damper which was to control its vibration and also acquire its structural responses such as displacement and acceleration at the same site. The experiments concerning controlling vibration were performed according to a variety of theories including un-control, passive on/off control, and Lyapunov stability theory. Its control performance was evaluated in terms of the peak absolute displacements, the peak absolute accelerations and the total power required to control the bridge which differ from each different experiment method. Among all the methods applied in this paper, case of Lyapunov control method turned out to be the most effective to reduces of displacement and acceleration. Also, this method could to decrease consuming of external power for vibration control. Finally, it was noteworthy that Lyapunov control method was specially effective in the vibration control employing a semi-active damper such MR damper.

This paper is concerned to constitute a semi-active realtime feedback vibration control system and evaluate it through experiments in order to control in realtime the vibration externally generated, specially on the bridges which is structurally flexible. For the experiment of vibration control, we built a model bridge structure of Seohae Grand Bridge in a 1/200 reduced form and inflicted El-centro wave on the model structure also in a reduced force considering the lab condition. The externally excited vibration was to be controled by placing a shear type MR damper vertically on the center of bridge span, and the response (displacement and acceleration) of structure was to be acquired by placing LVDT and Accelerometer at the same time. As for the experiment concerning controlling vibration, a realtime feedback vibration control experiments were performed under each different condition largely such as un-control, passive on/off control, Lyapunov stability theory control, and Clipped-optimal control. Its control performance under different condition was quantitatively evaluated in terms of the peak absolute displacements, the peak absolute accelerations and the power required for control on the center of span. The results of experiments proved that the Lyapunov control and clipped-iptimal control were effective to decrease the displacement and acceleration of the structure, and also to decrease the power consumption to a great extent. Finally, the semi-active realtime feedback vibration control system constituted in this research was proven to be an effective way to control and manage the vibration generated on bridge structure.

중력파의 존재가 예측된 것은 100년전 일이지만 지난해 9월 14일에야 LIGO에 처음으로 직접 검출되었다. 줄력파는 질량을 가진 물질이 가속될 때 만들어져 빛의 속도로 전파되는 현상이다. LIGO는 레이저 간섭 현상을 이용해 서로 수직인 방향의 두 팔의 길이가 상대적으로 진동하는 것을 측정하는 기기로서 지난 2002년 첫 관측을 시작한 이래 지속적인 감도 향상을 통해 아주 미세한 진폭을 가지는 중력파를 직접 검출하는데 성공하였다. 이번에 관측된 중력파는 두개의 블랙홀로 이루어진 쌍성이 궤도 운동을 하면서 중력파를 방출함에 따라 궤도 반지름이 점차 줄어들어 궁극적으로 충돌하기 직전 0.1초 정도 사이에 방출한 것으로서 이론적인 파형과의 비교를 통해 기존의 어떤 방법보다도 정확하게 블랙홀들의 질량과 거리를 측정할 수 있게 해 주었다. LIGO의 감도가 앞으로도 더욱 향상될 것이며 이에 따라 더 많은 중력파 천체가 발견될 것이다. 중력파 관측을 통해 우리는 기존의 망원경으로 볼 수 없었던 새로운 천체 현상을 자구 관측하게 될 것이며 이에 따라 블랙홀이나 중성자별과 같은 밀집 천체를 더 자세하게 탐구할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 우주의 구조나 진화에 대한 새로운 연구가 가능해질 것이다.

초음파는 액체 및 고체의 매질 속에서도 그 전달 특성이 우수하여 수중 물체의 감지, 지질 조사 자원탐사뿐만 아니라, 의학 분야에서도 널리 사용되고 있다. 물체유동정보 측정방식에는 연속파를 이용한 도플러식과 펄스 신호를 이용한 도플러는 거리 분해능이 좋으므로 깊이에 따른 속도 정보를 쉽게 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있으나, 수신되는 도플러 신호가 탐촉자의 특성과 매질 속에서의 전파특성 등에 의하여 송신된 신호와 파형이 다르고 복잡한 주파수 특성을 가지므로 연속파에서와 같이 도플러 주파수를 직접 측정하기 곤란하다. 도플러 주파수를 검출하기 위하여 여러 방법이 개발되어 있으나, 측정거리와 측정속도의 제약과 더불어, 실시간(real time) 처리에 의한 분포적 측정이 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 시간 영역에서 국소 데이터를 이용하여 펄스 신호의 위상을 정의하고 실시간에서 펄스 신호를 위상으로 변환하는 신호 처리법을 제안하였다. 또한 이 신호 처리법을 응용하여 측정 범위의 위상 곡선에서 위상 차를 계산함으로써 평균 가속도와 유동속도정보를 분포적으로 얻을 수 있는 새로운 펄스 도플러 기법을 제안하였으며, 모델 신호를 만들어 제안된 방법의 유용성을 검토하였다.

INJ-I, INJ-E, PFN, BMI, and PRF were selected among the various factors which constitute a digital linear accelerator to find effects on the dose distribution by changing current and voltage within the permitted scale which Mevatron automatically maintained. We measured the absorbed dose using an ion chamber, analyzed the waveform of beam output using an oscilloscope, and measured symmetry and flatness using a dosimetry system. An RFA plus (Scanditronix, Sweden) device was used as a dosimetry system. Then an 0.6cc ion chamber (PR06C, USA), an electrometer (Capintec192, USA), and an oscilloscope (Tektronix, USA) were employed to measure the changes on the dose distribution characteristics by changing the beam-tuning parameters. When the currents and the voltages of INJ-I, INJ-E, PFN, BMI, and PRF were modified, we were able to see the notable change on the dose rate by examining the change of the output pulse using the oscilloscope and by measuring them using the ion chamber. However, the results of energy and flatness graph from RF A plus were almost identical. The factors had fine differences: INJ-I, INJ-E, PFN, BMI, and PRF had 0.01∼0.02% differences in D10/D20, 0.1∼0.2 % differences in symmetry, and 0.1∼0.4% differences in flatness. Since Mevatron controlled itself automatically to keep the reference value of the factor, it was not able to see large differences in the dose distribution. There were fine differences on the dose rate distribution when the voltage and the currents of the digitized factors were modified Nonetheless, a basic operational management information was achieved.

Inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR) is coherent imaging system formed by conducting signal processing of received data which consists of radar cross section(RCS) reflected from maneuvering target. A novel algorithm is proposed to compensate inter-pulse motion(IPM) for the purpose of forming an well-focused ISAR image through signals generated by stepped chirp waveform( SCW). The velocity and acceleration of the target related to IPM are estimated based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) which has been widely used in optimization technique. Furthermore, a modified PSO which enables us to improve the performance of PSO is used to compensate IPM in a very short-time. Simulation results using point scatterer model of a Boeing-737 aircraft validate the performance of the proposed algorithm.
