For the purpose of maintenance and prevention of earth fill dams against damage from natural hazards, automatic monitoring through various measuring instruments and resistivity survey has been carried out. Reservoirs and embankments have the structural vulnerability on the agricultural usages since most of them were built more than thirty years ago. The main aim to use monitoring method is to verify the safety and integrity of the dam. Resistivity survey can detect potential weaknesses, such as defective zones, anomalous seepages or internal erosion processes. Permanent resistivity monitoring systems were installed at a reservoir, which daily measurements have been taken every 6 hour. Using monitoring data for one year, anomalous seepage and structural defects were clarified for dam safety. Annual water level fluctuations are around 10 m. During their operation, reservoir dams are subject to a never-ending hydraulic load from the reservoir, which over the years may cause changes in the properties of the inner parts of the dam construction. Detailed analysis of the monitoring results was performed and showed that resistivities at most locations have been very stable over the full monitoring period excluding the effects of water fluctuation and seasons. To investigate the detectability of weak zone using the DC resistivity monitoring, numerical modeling with a simplified model for the drainage at a reservoir dam was also performed. The results showed that the seepage zone near drainage in a reservoir dam could be detected by resistivity response change.

본 논문에서는 InP 기판에 자발형성법 (Self-assembled Mode)으로 성장한 InAs/InAlGaAs 양자점(Quantum Dots)의 외부 열처리 온도에 따른 광학적 특성을 논의한다. 분자선증착기 (Molecular Beam Epitaxy, VH80MBE)로 5주기 적층구조를 갖는 InAs/InAlGaAs 양자점 시료 (기준시료)를 성장 후 온도 의존성 및 여기광세기 의존성 포토루미네슨스 (photoluminescence, PL) 분광법으로 기본특성을 평가하였다. 양자점 시료를 $500{\sim}800^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 수행하고 광학적 특성을 열처리 전과 비교하여 분석하였다. $550^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 InAs/InAlGaAs 양자점 시료의 저온 (11K) PL 파장은 1465 nm를 보였으며, 이는 열처리를 하지 않은 기준시료의 1452 nm 보다 13 nm 장파장으로 이동하였다. 열처리 온도가 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상인 경우, 양자점 PL 파장이 다시 단파장으로 이동하는 현상을 보였지만 여전히 열처리하지 않은 기준시료보다 장파장을 나타내었다. $700^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 양자점 시료의 저온 PL 광세기는 기준시료보다 15.5배 더 크게 나타났으며, 주변 온도가 증가할수록 더디게 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 온도의존성 PL로부터 구한 활성화에너지 (Activation Energy)는 $700^{\circ}C$ 열처리 온도의 경우 175.9 meV를 나타내었다. InAs/InAlGaAs 양자점 시료의 열처리 온도에 따른 광특성 변화를 InAs 양자점과 InAlGaAs 장벽층 계면에서 III족 원소인 In, Al 및 Ga의 상호확산과 결함이 완화되는 현상으로 해석할 수 있다.

Reverse-offset printing is one of the technologies that can be used for patterning fine features of the order of a few micrometers for printed electronics. In reverse-offset printing, a coated ink film is transferred to a blanket made of elastomer-like poly-dimethylsiloxane. Then, the blanket is impressed onto a clich$\acute{e}$ that has intaglio patterns. The blanket is deformed by penetrating the intaglio of the clich$\acute{e}$ according to the printing pressure. Excessive deformation of the blanket can cause printing defects upon touching the bottom of the intaglio pattern, especially in large patterns. In this paper, we modelled the deformation of the blanket using the finite element method. Considering the actual printing parameters, a condition for fabricating a clich$\acute{e}$ is proposed to prevent defects by the deformation of the blanket.

We studied on the nondestructive evaluation of the elastic wave signals of locally wall thinned straight pipe. Wavelet transform was applied for the time-frequency analysis of waveforms obtained by fracture wave detector due to the dropping steel ball. The time-frequency analysis provides time variation of each frequency component involved in a waveform, which makes it possible to evaluate the shape of local wall thinning at each frequency. In this study, comparison by wavelet transform of the AE signals and monotonic bending tests without internal pressure are conducted on 1.91 inch diameter full-scale carbon steel pipe specimens. As the results of tests, fracture behaviors could be shown by the characteristic of mechanical strength of locally wall thinned pipes and the waveforms could be evaluated for the integrity insurance of the piping system according to the length and depth range of the deffeted shape pipes in the real field.

To protect the underground pipeline from the mechanical damage and to enhance the cathodic protection effect, the river sand has been backfilled traditionally around the buried pipeline. However, river sand became depleted and expensive. One has to seek for the economic alternative materials. Crashed stone is a good candidate for the backfill material. In this study, how much the particle size and shape of the crashed stone can effect on the gas pipeline coating was examined. A series of laboratory and field test was performed. In the Lab, the increasing loads were applied to the coated pipeline surrounded by the crashed stone, where no significant damage was observed.

Infinite failure NHPP models presented in the literature exhibit either constant, monotonic increasing or monotonic decreasing failure occurrence rates per fault. In this paper, exponential distribution and Rayleigh distribution model was reviewed, proposes the mixture reliability model, which made out efficiency substituted for situation for failure time Algorithm to estimate the parameters used to maximum likelihood estimator and bisection method, model selection based on SSE and Kolmogorov distance, for the sake of efficient model, was employed. Analysis of failure using S27 data set for the sake of proposing shape parameter of the mixture distribution was employed. This analysis of failure data compared with the mixture distribution model and the existing model(using arithmetic and Laplace trend tests, bias tests) is presented.

This paper introduces a Petri Net-based multimedia programming method. For this purpose, we are proposing MPN(Multimedia Petri Net) which can be used for representing a multimedia scenario. We are also introducing methods to analyze a MPN with which we can detect some kinds of design faults in the scenario. A multimedia program replays the scenario by interpreting the MPN. A method to implement such a multimedia program is also discussed. Our multimedia program provides the manipulation functions of stop, play, fast forward. rewind, and fast rewind. There are many varieties of Petri Net. Several of them are for modeling multimedia scenarios. They all have been used for synchronization analysis. But none of them were used for replaying multimedia scenario. We have extended these nets to MPN. A MPN model contains not only the flow of a scenario but also all the information associated with the data units. Therefore, our player can play the multimedia scenario by interpreting the MPN.

Electrical conduction in $SrZr_{1-x}Y_xO_{3-\delta}$((x=0.05, 0.10)-metal electrode system was investigated by impedance spectroscopy and two-probe d.c. conductivity measurement. Electrode conductivity in anodic direction varies with $P_W^{1/2}$( and that in cathodic direction with $P_{O2}^{1/4}$ in oxidizing atmosphere. In hydrogen atmosphere, the addition of water vapor increased the electrode conductivity both in anodic and cathodic direction. Increasing dopant concentration from 5 to 10% showed a more than four times increase in anodic conduction as well as bulk conduction of the solid electrolyte. This observation implies that unfilled oxygen vacancy concentration increases rapidly as the dopant content increases in humid atmosphere. The activation energy of cathodic conduction in Pt and Ag electrode was nearly same below $800^{\circ}C$ which means the rate of cathodic reaction is determined by the reaction in the electrolyte surface rather than on the metal electrodes.

Insert injection molding is a process in which molten plastic is injected into a mold that contains a pre-placed insert. During the injection stage, the insert can be deformed by the pressure applied by the polymer melts. The deformation of the insert changes the width of the flow path around the insert, which can cause several defects such as short shots or warpages of the parts. In order to reduce the deformation of the insert, it is important to achieve successful design of gating system, insert geometry, and molding conditions. In the present study, the insert deformations that occured during the injection molding of the BLDC motor stator were investigated by numerical analyses. The gate location and the insert shape were modified to reduce the insert deformation. Finally, the injection molding with the modified designs was carried out, and it was confirmed that the insert deformation was reduced.

Mathematical modeling on the corrosion of the steel casing and main pipe due to the protection current resulting from a cathodic protection system was carried out using boundary element method. The model is consisted of Laplace's equation with non-linear boundary conditions(Tafel equations) and the iterative technique to determine the miexed potential of the steel casing. The model is applied to the normal steel casing section as well as abnormal one with defects such as metal touch and insulation defects. From the modeling procedure, we can calculate the potential distributions and current density distributions of the system. The theoretical results of the qualitatiive corrosion aspect along the steel casing and main pipe agree well with the experimental results within the experimental conditions studied.
