The rail surface defects can cause the high impact load on the track and lead to the progress of the rail fatigue damage and the rail break. In case of the rail break, there is a great deal of risk for derailment, and thus the maintenance criteria for the rail surface defects are of great importance. In this study, using the dynamic train-track interaction analysis program, the impact wheel loads and rail bending stresses according to the depths of the surface defects have been calculated with the input data of the rail surface irregularities measured at 43 spots with surface defects in the ballasted track of high-speed railway. Considering the irregularity of track geometry, the allowable limits of wheel load and rail bending stress have been set, and the maintenance criteria for the rail surface defects was suggested by analyzing the relationship of the maximum values of wheel load and rail bending stress versus depth and width of rail surface defect. The analysis results suggest that the allowable depth of the surface defect is determined approximately 0.2mm from the limit of the impact wheel load.

In order to investigate the fracture behaviors(penetration modes) and resistance to penetration during ballistic impact of Titanium alloy laminates and nitrified Titanium alloy laminates which were treated by PVD(Physical Vapor Deposition) method, ballistic tests were conducted. Evaporation, sputtering, and ion plating are three kinds of PVD method. In this research, Ion plating was used to achieve higher surface hardness and surface hardness test were conducted using a Micro vicker's hardness tester. Resistance to penetration is determined by the protection ballistic limit($V_{50}$), a statistical velocity with 50% probability for complete penetration. Fracture behaviors and ballistic tolerance, described by penetration modes, are respectfully observed at and above ballistic limit velocities, as a result of $V_{50}$ test and Projectile Through Plates (PTP) test methods. PTP tests were conducted with $0^{\circ}$ obliquity at room temperature using 5.56mm ball projectile. $V_{50}$ test with $0^{\circ}$ obliquity at room temperature were conducted with projectiles that were able to achieve near or complete penetration during PTP tests. Surface hardness, resistance to penetration, and penetration modes of Titanium alloy laminates are compared to those of nitrified Titanium alloy laminates.

Low-velocity impact can cause various damages which are mostly hidden inside the laminates or occur in the opposite side. Thus, these damages cannot be easily detected by visual inspection or conventional NDT systems. And if they occurred between the scheduled NDT periods, the possibilities of extensive damages or structural failure can be higher. Due to these reasons, the built-in NDT systems such as real-time impact monitoring system are required in the near future. In this paper, we studied the impact monitoring system consist of impact location detection and damage assessment techniques for composite flat and stiffened panel. In order to acquire the impact-induced acoustic signals, four multiplexed FBG sensors and high-speed FBG interrogator were used. And for development of the impact and damage occurrence detections, the neural networks and wavelet transforms were adopted. Finally, these algorithms were embodied using MATLAB and LabVIEW software for the user-friendly interface.

A dynamic analysis procedure is developed to provide a better estimation of the dynamic responses of pre-stressed concrete (PSC) box girder bridges on the Korea high speed railway. Particularly, a three dimensional numerical model including the structural interaction between high speed vehicles, bridges and railway endures to analyze accurately and evaluate with in-depth parametric studies for dynamic responses of bridge due to the high speed railway vehicles. Three dimensional frame element is used to model the PSC box girder bridges, simply supported span lengths 40 m. The high-speed railway vehicles (K-TGV) including a locomotive are used as 38-degree of freedom system. Three displacements (vertical, lateral, and longitudinal) as well as three rotational components (pitching, rolling, and yawing) are considered in the 38-degree of freedom model. The dynamic analysis by Runge-Kutta method which are able to analyze considering the dynamic impact factors are compared and contrasted. It is proposed as an empirical formula that the impact factors damaged the bridge load-carrying capacities occurs to the bride due to high-speed vehicle.

충격 잡음은 전력선 통신 시스템의 성능을 열하시키는 대표적인 채널 특성 중 하나이다. 이는 배경잡음에 비해 많게는 수십 dB 이상의 레벨을 가지며, 임의 시간적으로 발생하기 때문에 추정 및 제어가 어렵다. 최근 전력선 통신 시스템이 고속화 되면서 한정된 주파수 대역상에서 한정된 신호 전력으로 대용량의 데이터를 전송하기 위해서 대역효율을 높이기 위한 변복조 기법과 오류정정 코드가 적용되고 있으나, 충격 잡음에 의해서 그 성능이 현저하게 열하된다. 일반적으로 충격잡음은 수신단에서 레벨 제한에 의해 그 영향 정도를 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 전력선 통신 시스템의 성능 향상을 위해 제안되고 있는 LDPC 부호화 OFDM 시스템에 대해 충격 잡음 수신 레벨 제한에 의한 성능 열하의 완화 정도에 대해 연구하였으며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 최적 성능을 위한 수신 레벨 제한 지표를 제시하였다.

Metamaterials are complexes of elements that can create properties not found in naturally occurring materials, such as changing the direction of forces, creating negative stiffness, or altering vibration and impact properties. In the case of wood pile metamaterials that are easy to manufacture and have excellent performance in reducing vibration and shock in the vertical direction, basic research on variables affecting shock transmission is needed to reduce shock. Although research on impact reduction according to geometrical factors is being conducted recently, studies on the effect of material variables on impact reduction are insufficient. In this paper, finite element analysis was carried out by variablizing the geometrical properties (lamination angle, diameter, length) and material properties (modulus of elasticity, specific gravity, Poisson's ratio) of wood pile cylinders. Through finite element analysis, the shape of the wooden pile cylinder delivering impact was confirmed, and the effect of each variable on the reduction of impact force and energy was considered through main effect diagram analysis, and frequency band analysis was performed through fast Fourier transform. proceeded In order to reduce the impact force and vibration, it was found that the variables affecting the contact area of t he cylinder have a significant effect.

When a railway train enters a tunnel at high speed, a compression wave is formed in front of the train and propagates along the tunnel. The compression wave subsequently emerges from the exit of the tunnel, which causes an impulsive noise. In order to estimate the magnitudes of the noises and to effectively minimize them, the characteristics of the compression wave propagating in a tunnel must be understood. In the present paper, the experimental and analytical investigations on the attenuation and distortion of the propagating compression waves were carried out using a model tunnel. This facility is a kind of open-ended shock tube with a fast-opening gate valve instead of a general diaphragm. One-dimensional flow model employed in the present study could appropriately predict the strength of the compression wave, Mach number and flow velocity induced by the compression wave. The experimental results show that the strength of a compression wave decreases with the distance from the tunnel entrance. The decreasing rate of the wave strength and pressure gradient in the wave is strongly dependent on the strength of the initial compression wave at the tunnel entrance.

전력선 통신 채널에는 특징적으로 충격 잡음이 존재하며, 전력선 통신 시스템의 성능 열화에도 많은 영향을 준다. 이는 일반적인 배경 잡음에 비해 많게는 수십 dB 이상의 레벨을 가지면서, 임의 시간적으로 발생함으로써 추정 및 제어 또한 어렵기 때문이며, 전력선 통신 시스템이 Mbps급으로 고속화 되면서 주파수 대역이 확장되고, 확장된 대역상에 다중 반송파를 이용하여 대용량의 데이터를 전송하는 변복조기법들이 적용됨에 따라, 시간 영역에서 비교적 짧은 시간 동안 존재하는 충격 잡음이 주파수 영역에서 사용 주파수 전체 대역상에 영향을 줌으로써 시스템 전체 성능 저하의 큰 요인이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 충격 잡음이 고속 전력선 통신 시스템에서 사용되는 OFDM(또는 DMT) 방식 수신기의 복조기 출력단 SNR에 미치는 영향을 분석 및 단순화하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.

It is necessary to resolve the absolute velocity as well as Mach number to reflect the high temperature effect in high speed flow. So this region is classified as high enthalpy flows distinguished from high speed flows. Many facilities, such as arc-jet, shock tunnel, etc. has been used to obtain the high enthalpy flows at the ground level. However, it is difficult to define the exact test condition in this type of facilities, because some chemical reactions and energy transfer take place during the experiments. In the present study, a quasi 1D code considering the thermochemical non-equilibrium effect is developed to effectively estimate the test condition of a shock tunnel. Results show that the code gives reasonable solution compared with the results from the known experiments and 2D axisymmetric simulations.
