Various components including wave scattering, wave passage, and site amplification effects cause the ground motion to vary spatially. The spatially varying ground motion can significantly influence the dynamic response of longitudinal structures such as bridges and tunnels. While its effect on bridges has been extensively studied, there is a lack of study on its effect on underground tunnels. This paper develops a new procedure for simulating the tunnel response under spatially varying ground motion. The procedure utilizes the longitudinal displacement profile, which is developed from spatially variable ground motion time histories. The longitudinal displacement profile is used to perform a series of pseudo-static three dimensional finite element analyses. Results of the analyses show that the spatially variable ground motion cause longitudinal bending of the tunnel and can induce substantial axial stress on the tunnel lining. The effect can be significant at boundaries at which the material properties of the ground change in the longitudinal direction.

The objective of the study is to provide a theoretical tools for analyzing the fracture of leyered composites with a center crack. It is assumed that the composite is composed of successive accumulation of the fiber layer and resin layer with the fiber layer being perfectly bonded to the resin layer except the region of a center crack. In-plane shear loading (Mode II) and the anti-plane shear loading (Mode III) are considered separately. Boundary value problems are formulated by using a plane theory of elasticity and governing equations are reduced to a Fredholm integral equation of a second kind. The equation is solved numerically and the stress intensity factors are obtained. The normalized Mode II and Mode III stress intensity factors are evaluated for various combinations of material properties and for various geometrical parametes.

Comparing with general optical fiber sensors performing localized measurement, distributed optical fiber sensors can measure along an optical fiber, and they have large measuring range. The surface-mounting method with epoxy adhesive is general in attaching optical fiber sensors to structures, This is also appliable to the structural integrity monitoring with Brillouin-scattering distributed optical fiber sensors. In this paper, Brillouin-scattering distributed optical fiber sensors, which are attached to the surface of a structure with epoxy adhesive, was verified with the finite element method. From the analysis results of strain transfer through the structure, optical fiber coating, cladding and core, the strain transfer rates were calculated. And the influence of the epoxy free-end was also studied.

To develop more robust oil boom which is vulnerable to various failure mode under severe weather condition, highly accurate wave model is developed using Spatially filtered Navier-Stokes Eq., LDS (Lagrangian Dynamic Smagorinsky model) for residual stresses, SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics). To clarify the hydraulic characteristics of floating type oil boom, we numerically simulate the behavior of oil spill around oil boom under very energetic progressive waves. At the first stage, we firmly anchored the oil boom, and then, allowed the excursion of the oil boom. It turns out that oil boom with skirt of enough length (longer than 30% of depth) effectively confines the oil spill even against very energetic waves. We can also observe obliquely descending vertical eddies between y = 1~2 m as horizontal vortices shedding at the interface of oil spill and water are diffused toward the bottom, which is believed to be the birth, growing and break-down of Kelvin-Helmholz wave.

UAVs for reconnaissance and intelligence operations require long endurance capability, which demands high efficiency of the propulsion system. The distributed propulsion system(DPS) generates the thrust by replacing a large propulsion system with a number of small propulsion systems. A DPS distributed along the wing span can produce gains in propulsion efficiency by reducing ejection velocity. Also, the ingestion of boundary layers through the distributed DPS inlet and ejecting flow from the outlet can improve the lift to drag ratio of the vehicle. This study investigates the effects of locations and size of the inlet and outlet of the DPS on the blended-wing-body design based on Eppler 337 airfoil, with a CFD tool. The fans in the DPS are modeled as actuator disks for computational efficiency. The best location and aspect ratio of the inlet and outlet are found from lift-to-drag ratio and pitching moment considerations.

The objective of this study is to analyze the characteristics of flow and bed change at the wide, shallow confluence of the Geum river and Mihocheon, which has different bed slope, height, and sediment concentration condition between the main channel and tributary. RMA-2 and SED2D were used to simulate flow and bed changes at the site. Flow simulations showed that the overall flow velocity, shear layer and vortex generated at the left bank of the confluence increase as the discharge was increased. Sediment transport simulations indicated that because of the high inflow sediment concentration from Mihocheon, sediment concentration in the main river increases after the confluence, the high sediment concentration band was kept along the shear layer boundary and the left bed was aggraded after confluence.

This paper presents a method for automatic 3-d building reconstruction using high resolution aerial imagery. First, by using edge preserving filtering, noise is eliminated and then images are segmented by watershed algorithm, which preserves location of edge pixels. To extract line segments between control points from boundary of each region, we calculate curvature of each pixel on the boundary and then find the control points. Line segment linking is performed according to direction and length of line segments and the location of line segments is adjusted using gradient magnitudes of all pixels of the line segment. Coplanar grouping and pplygonal patch formation are performed per region by selecting 3-d line segments that are matched using epipolar geometry and flight information. The algorithm has been applied to high resolution aerial images and the results show accurate 3D building reconstruction.

최근 수자원 이용량의 증가 및 수자원 공급의 부족에 따라 대안으로 제시되고 있는 지하수 이용은 매년 크게 증가하고 있다. 내륙 지역의 지하수 개발 시와 비교할 때 해안 지역의 지하수 개발에는 해수침투 현상에 대하여 추가적 고려가 필요하다. 알려진 바와 같이 해안 지역의 과잉 양수와 해수면 상승 으로 해수침투가 더욱 깊이 침투하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 대해 정략적인 해수 침투길이 산정과 더불어 해수침투를 허용가능한 범위 내로 제한 시키는 지하수 개발이 필요하다. 해수침투 저감 공법에는 저투수차수벽 설치, 담수주입공법, 해수양수공법으로 크게 3가지로 구분할 수 있다. 저투수차수벽의 해수침투 저감 효율은 크지만 비용이 비싸다는 단점으로 본 연구에서 제외시켰다. 담수주입공법은 대수층에 담수를 주입하여 해수침투를 저감시키는 공법으로 인근에 양질의 수원을 필요로 하는 단점이 있다. 해수양수는 해안가에 양수정을 설치하여 해수침투를 저감시키지만 양수정에서의 담수가 혼합되어 담수낭비가 생기는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 해안지하수의 해수침투를 저감시키기 위한 방법중 담수주입과 해수양수공법의 효율을 검증하고 각각 공법의 장단점을 비교하였다. 지하수 경계면 모델을 이용하여 각각의 수리수문 변수들이 미치는 영향과 해수침투 정도를 사례별로 연구하였다. 담수주입공법의 경우 담수주입량 많을수록 해수침투가 저감되는 경향이 있지만 최적의 담수주입량을 찾는데 목적이 있다. 해수양수공법에는 해수양수량이 증가하고 해수양수정의 위치가 해안선에 접할수록 해수침투 저감 효과가 있었다. 담수주입공법과 해수양수공법을 해수침투 저감을 위해 해안가에 적용할 경우 해당 지역의 특성을 면밀히 분석하여 적용해야 효과를 볼 수 있다.

행주대교 하류 약 3km 지점에 위치한 신곡수중보는 한강종합개발 사업 중 하도정비로 인한 상시수위 저하로 인해 발생하는 문제를 해결하기 위해 설치되었으며, 취수장의 취수심 확보, 주운수심 확보, 염수 역류에 의한 생태계의 변화 방지, 하천 주면의 지하수위 저하 방지 목적으로 건설되었다. 본 연구에서는 신곡수중보의 존치, 이전 혹은 철거로 인한 수질변화를 모의를 실시하였다. 한강 본류와 임진강 합류를 고려하여 총 495개 수질모의 셀을 구성하였고, 수질모의를 위한 WQ Cell은 길이가 100 m~340 m로 임진강 47개, 한강 448개로 총 495개의 셀로 구성하였으며, 주요 지천이나 오염원으로 신곡보 하류에는 공릉천, 신곡보와 잠실보 사이에는 창릉천, 서남과 난지물 재생센터, 안양천, 홍제천, 중랑천, 탄천, 잠실보 상류에는 왕숙천, 월문천, 덕풍천 등 9개 지천과 2개 물 재생센터를 포함하였으며 잠실보 상류에서의 생활용수 취수를 고려하였다. 수온, BOD, 조류의 경계조건은 환경부에서 제공한 2011년 3월과 4월의 측정자료를 사용하였다. 그 결과, 신곡보 철거시 수온의 변화는 서해로부터의 차가운 해수의 역류 증가로 임진강, 파주, 전류, 장항습지까지 수온이 최대 $0.94^{\circ}C$ 크게 하강할 것으로 나타났으나 행주, 가양, 영등포는 오히려 수온이 $0.03{\sim}0.04^{\circ}C$ 미미하게 상승할 것으로 나타났으며 현재의 신곡보가 수온의 급격한 변화를 완층하는 역할을 담당하여 왔으나 보가 철거되면서 이러한 수온 완충역할이 사라지기 때문으로 분석되었다. 신곡보 철거시 BOD 농도의 변화는 잠실보 하류쪽으로는 BOD 농도가 최대 1.02 mg/l 감소하는 등 전반적으로 수질이 크게 개선될 것으로 나타나는 반면 잠실보 상류쪽으로는 BOD 농도가 최대 0.56 mg/l 증가하며 현재의 1급수 수질에서 2급수로 수질이 악화되어 상수원 수질 관리가 어려울 것으로 예상되었다. 신곡보 철거시 조류 농도의 변화는 잠실보 하류쪽으로 조류 농도가 최대 1.85 mg-A/l 감소하는 등 전반적으로 수질이 크게 개선될 것으로 나타나는 반면 잠실보 상류쪽으로는 조류 농도가 최대 0.40 mg-A/l 증가하며 고조위 기간에는 조류주의보 기준 1.5 mg-A/l를 초과하는 경우도 발생하여 상수원 취수에 문제가 발생할 가능성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The fundamental characteristics of nonlinear free-surface waves generated by a shallowly submerged 3-dimensional hydrofoil are investigated. The fluid is assumed inviscid, incompressible and its motion irrotational. The surface tension on the free-surface is neglected. The hydrofoil is represented by a horseshoe vortex system whose shape is assumed fixed. Also the strengths of vortices are assumed given. The exact problem for the wave potential due to the horseshoe vortex system is formulated by the variational principle based on the classical Hamilton's principle. The localized finite element method is used in the numerical computations. In order to increase the numerical efficiency, an intermediate nonlinear-to-linear transition buffer subdomain for a smooth matching is introduced between the fully nonlinear computation subdomain and the truncated linear infinite subdomain. Also used is the modal analysis to reduce the computation tome drastically. The effect of inflow velocity, submergence depth of the hydrofoil and the shape of circulation distribution on the wave profiles are thoroughly examined. Especially it was possible to investigate the nonlinear influence of the free vortex on the free vortex. The nonlinear free-surface effect on the induced forces on the hydrofoil is also investigated.
