위성통신시스템에서의 10GHz이상의 Ku 또는 Ka 대역은 수십 dB의 크기를 갖는 강우에 의한 감쇠 현상이 심각하여 이러한 감쇠는 위성 링크의 심각한 성능 정하를 가져온다. 본 논문은 위성통신 링크 상에서의 강우 감쇠 보상을 위한 알고리즘을 제시하고, Ku 대역의 강우 감쇠 데이터를 사용한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 그 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 예측 기법 측면에서, 적응형 알고리즘을 적용한 기법과 신호 레벨 변화량에 근거한 예측 기법은 거의 동일한 예측 오차를 보였고, 따라서, 급속한 신호레벨 변화에 적응성을 요하지 않은 강우 감쇠 예측의 경우, 알고리즘 측면에서 비교적 간단한 예측 기법으로도 충분한 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 제시된 전송 방식 결정 알고리즘은 기존의 임계값 기반 알고리즘에 비해 품질 저하율이 0.6%에서 0.01% 이하로 감소하였고, 거의 동일한 전송 효율을 가지면서 약 5배의 적은 전송 방식 전환을 요구한다.

Strong motion attenuation relationship represents a comprehensive trend of ground shakings at sites with distances from the source, geology, local soil conditions, and others. It is necessary to develop an attenuation relationship with careful considerations of characteristics of the target area for reliable seismic hazard/risk assessments. In the study, observed ground motions from the January 2007 magnitude 4.9 Odaesan earthquake and the events occurring in the Gyeongsang provinces are compared with the previously proposed ground attenuation relationships in the Korean Peninsula to select most appropriate one. In the meantime, a few strong ground motion attenuation relationships are proposed and introduced in HAZUS, which have been designed for the Western United States and the Central and Eastern United States. The selected relationship from the ones for the Korean Peninsula has been compared with attenuation relationships available in HAZUS. Results of the study will increase the reliability of seismic hazard/risk assessments using HAZUS in the Korean Peninsula.

Normally in order to build a semi-active control system equipped with MR damper, the dynamic modeling of the damper is required to numerically predict its dynamic damping force and also its behavioral characteristics. For the dynamic modeling of the MR damper, this paper attempts to predict and evaluate its dynamic behavior by applying specifically both a power model and a Bingham model. Dynamic loading tests were performed on the squeeze type of damper specially designed for this research, and force-displacement hysteresis loops confirmed the effectiveness of the damper as a semi-active control device. In the meantime, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of each model applied, the model parameter for each model was identified. On the basis of the parameter, we derived the error ratio of the force-velocity relationship curve and the dynamic damping force, which was contrasted and compared with the experimental results of the squeeze type of damper. Finally, the squeeze type of MR damper developed in this research was proved to be valid as a semi-active control device, and also the evaluation of the two dynamic models showed they were working fine so that they were likely to be easily utilized to numerically predict the dynamic characteristics of any dampers with MR fluid as well as the squeeze type of MR damper.

In this study, for estimating responses of a controlled structure and determining the maximum control force of velocity-dependent damping devices, three estimation models such as Fourier envelope convex model, probability model, and Newmark design spectrum are used. For this purpose, a procedure is proposed for estimating actual velocity using pseudo-velocity and this procedure considers the effects of damping ratio increased by the damping device. Time history results indicate that actual velocity should be used for estimating accurate maximum control force of damping device and Newmark design spectrum modified by the proposed equation gives the best estimation results for over all period structures.

Attenuation coefficients of medical ultrasound not only reflect the pathological information of tissues scanned but also provide the quantitative information to compensate the decay of backscattered signals for other medical ultrasound parameters. Based on the frequency-selective attenuation property of human tissues, attenuation estimation methods in spectral domain have difficulties for real-time implementation due to the complexicity while estimation methods in time domain do not achieve the compensation for the diffraction effect effectively. In this paper, we propose the modified VSA method, which compensates the diffraction with reference phantom in time domain, using adaptive bandpass filters with decreasing center frequencies along depths. The adaptive bandpass filtering technique minimizes the distortion of relative echogenicity of wideband transmit pulses and maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio due to the random scattering, especially at deeper depths. Since the filtering center frequencies change according to the accumulated attenuation, the proposed algorithm improves estimation accuracy and precision comparing to the fixed filtering method. Computer simulation and experimental results using tissue-mimicking phantoms demonstrate that the distortion of relative echogenicity is decreased at deeper depths, and the accuracy of attenuation estimation is improved by 5.1% and the standard deviation is decreased by 46.9% for the entire scan depth.

This paper presents the prediction model of attenuation characteristics of satellite communication signals operating in the range from 1 to 20GHz, associated with the effects of the Asian Dust.

The prediction model of the dust attenuation was got, combining the formula of the complex dielectric constant of Asian dust. Expressions for specific attenuation and attenuation are derived in terms of the height, visibility. Therefore it make an investigate to the prediction model of attenuation characteristics continuously.

In the present study, the amount of slow drift motion damping of shuttle tanker in still water and various environments is measured through free decay model test. Although the estimation of slow drift damping is essential in analysing slow drift motion of moored FPSO or DP controlled shuttle tanker, it is difficult to predict damping accurately by theoretical analysis. The estimation of drift damping depends on model test mostly. Through the model test, the amount of slow drift damping is measured and the effects of environments and thruster action on drift damping are investigated. The measured damping characteristics are expected to be used in the analysis on slow drift motion of moored vessel.

This paper summarizes a study on the application of viscoelastic dampers as an energy dissipation device in the frame structure. It can be concluded that, even at high temperatures, the viscoelastically damped structure can achieve a significant reduction of structural response as compared to the case with no dampers added. Empirical formulae for estimating the dynamic properties of the viscoelastic damper are established based on the regression analysis using data obtained from component tests of the damper. The structural damping with added dampers can be satisfactorily estimated by the modal strain energy method and the derived empirical formulae. Numerical simulations using conventional modal analysis methods are also carried out to predict the dynamic response of viscoelastically damped structures under seismic excitations. Comparison between numerical simulations and test results shows very good agreement. Based on the above studies, a design procedure for viscoelastically damped structures is present . This design procedure fits naturally into the conventional structural design flow-chart by including damping ratio an additional design parameter.
