The characteristics of wave propagation along a catenary in rail electrification system depend on the boundary impedance, characteristic impedance of catenary, and the contact force of pantograph moving along the catenary. In this study, the wave propagation along catenary is studied with arbitrary boundary conditions and characteristic impedance of catenary. The reflection and transmission of waves through the boundaries of catenary and the propagation of waves along the catenary are found to be dependent on the wave length.

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a relatively new imaging modality in which the resistivity (conductivity) distribution of the unknown object is estimated based on the known sets of injected currents and measured voltages on the surface of the object. In this paper, we propose a dynamical EIT reconstruction algorithm based on the regularized extended Kalman filter(EKF). The EIT inverse problem is formulated as dynamic equation which consists of the slate equation and the observation equation, and the unknown state(resistivity) is estimated recursively with the aid of the EKF. In doing so, the generalized Tikhonov regularization technique is employed in the cost functional to mitigate the ill-posedness characteristics of the inverse problem. Computer simulations for the 16-channel synthetic data are provided to illustrate the reconstruction performance of the proposed algorithm.

Migration image can be distorted due to reflected waves in the source and receiver wavefields when discontinuities of input velocity model exist in seismic imaging. To remove reflected waves coming from layer interfaces, it is a common practice to smooth the velocity model for migration. If the velocity model is smoothed, however, the subsurface image can be distorted because the velocity changes around interfaces. In this paper, we attempt to minimize the distortion by reducing reflection energy in the source and receiver wavefields through acoustic impedance homogenization. To make acoustic impedance constant, we define fake density model and use it for migration. When the acoustic impedance is constant over all layers, the reflection coefficient at normal incidence becomes zero and the minimized reflection energy results in the improvement of migration result. To verify our algorithm, we implement the reverse-time migration using cell-based finite-difference method. Through numerical examples, we can note that the migration image is improved at the layer interfaces with high velocity contrast, and it shows the marked improvement particularly in the shallow part.

고유음향 임피던스가 다른 물질이 층상구조를 이루고 있는 매질내에서 임의의 한 층에 형성된 이차원 초음파 음장이 다른 매질로 전파될 때에의 특성을 각스펙트럼법에 의해 해석하였다. 음원으로서는 baffle된 원형 트랜스듀서를, 층상구조를 매질로서는 물과 생체조직(지방)의 경계를 각각 고려하였다. 해석에 있어서는 먼저 각스펙트럼 분해요소, 즉, 음원의 크기 및 거리에 의존하는 기준음장의 최적 크기와 샘플링 간격을 균질매질을 이용하여 결정한 다음, 그 요소를 층상매질에 적용하였다. 그 결과, 경계면에서의 입사각(공간주파수)의 의존하는 투과계수에 입사음장의 곱으로 나타내어지는 투과음장은 각스펙트럼법에 의해 짧은 시간내에 정도 높게 산출될 수 있음을 보인다.

The general approach using sine series expansions was represented to evaluate the radiation loading from a vibrating surface on a simply supported cylinder. In this paper, the fluid-loading coefficients (radiation impedance) for a submerged finite cylindrical shell with an arbitrary end condition are defined and evaluated. The vibrations of cylindrical shell are expressed by using cosine series expansions to analyze the radiation impedance for a finite cylindrical shell. It is possible to represent the displacements at both ends of cylindrical shell in comparison with sine series. The direct and cross modal components of fluid-loading coefficients are shown and the validity of cosine series expansions are verified from the results of numerical computations. This approach and results are directly applicable in the analysis of sound radiation from subemerged finite cylindrical shell with arbitrary end conditions.

The active noise control method that was developed for long duct has some problems to be applied for short duct. To overcome this problem, we apply the SISO(Single Input Single Output) algorithm for the active noise control of short duct using zero acoustic impedance boundary. The SISO algorithm can input noise signal and error signal with one microphone simultaneously. The real-time controller was implemented using TMS320E25 DSP(Digital Signal Processing) chip and it's performance was evaluated by experiment. As a result, we obtain total 4.7dBA noise reduction for 0.80m short duct.

A numerical algorithm for estimating precise backscattering coefficients of rice fields is proposed and its accuracy is verified in this paper. After a bunch of rice plants above water surface is modeled with a bunch of randomly oriented lossy dielectric bodies above an impedance surface and the equivalent volume currents of the lossy dielectrics are computed using the moment method. Then, the scattered fields of a rice field with many bunches are computed with a Monte Carlo method, and consequently the backscattering coefficient of the rice field is computed for various incidence angles and polarizations. Finally, the backscattering coefficient of a rice field is measured at 1.85 GHz using an R-band scatterometer system, and these experimental data are used to verify the numerical algorithm proposed in this paper. It is found that the numerical computation results agree well with the measurement data.

In the phase boundary estimation problem, the estimation performance depends on the initial guess. However, there is no information on the number of bubbles and those positions for the initial guess in real flows. Therefore, it is very important to set appropriate initial guesses from prior information. In this paper, in order to set initial guesses for estimating the phase boundaries in two-phase flows, first, unknown resistivity distribution was estimated using the difference reconstruction method. After that, an adaptive threshold value was automatically computed using intermodes method. Based on this value, the number of bubbles and the initial position were determined. The numerical experiments have been performed to evaluate the estimation performance of the proposed method.

In EIT, various image reconstruction algorithms have been used in order to compute the internal resistivity distribution of the unknown object with its electric potential data at the boundary. Mathematically the EIT image reconstruction algorithm is a nonlinear ill-posed inverse problem. In this paper, a SPSA approach is proposed for the solution of the EIT image reconstruction. Results of numerical experiments of EIT solved by the SPSA approach are presented and compared to that obtained by the modified Newton-Raphson(mNR) method.
