Recent weather changes have led to an increase in heavy rainfall resulting in frequent large-scale slope failures. To minimize damage to life and property, a measurement system is used in slope failure warning systems. However, understanding the slope failure behavior is difficult as the measurement system only measures a specific point. Therefore, numerical analysis must be p erformed with the measurement system. The soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) drying curve and boundary conditions that consider evapotranspiration and precipitation have been applied to numerical analysis, but the hysteresis of SWCC affects the numerical analysis results. To address this, a new evapotranspiration calculation method is proposed and applied to boundary conditions, and the measurement data are compared with the results of the numerical analysis. This method takes into account the different infiltration behaviors on evapotranspiration according to the drying and wetting curves of the SWCC, and allows for a more rational prediction of water movement on unsaturated slopes.

An indoor positioning system using Wi-Fi is essential to produce a radio map that combines the indoor space of two or more dimensions, the information of node positions, and etc. in processing for constructing the radio map, the measurement of the received signal strength indicator(RSSI) and the confirmation of node placement information counsume substantial time. Especially, when the installed wireless environment is changed or a new space is created, easy installation of the node and fast indoor radio mapping are needed to provide indoor location-based services. In this paper, to reduce the time consumption, we propose an algorithm to distinguish the straight and curve lines of a corridor section by RSSI visualization and Sobel filter-based edge detection that enable accurate node deployment and space analysis using cable-type Wi-Fi node installed at a 3 m interval. Because the cable type Wi-Fi is connected by a same power line, it has an advantage that the installation order of nodes at regular intervals could be confirmed accurately. To be able to analyze specific sections in space based on this advantage, the distribution of the signal was confirmed and analyzed by Sobel filter based edge detection and total RSSI distribution(TRD) computation through a visualization process based on the measured RSSI. As a result to compare the raw data with the performance of the proposed algorithm, the signal intensity of proposed algorithm is improved by 13.73 % in the curve section. Besides, the characteristics of the straight and the curve line were enhanced as the signal intensity of the straight line decreased by an average of 34.16 %.

In this study, the 1D apparent shear stress model for vegetated compound open-channel flows was suggested. To consider the effect of momentum exchange between main channel and floodplain, the eddy viscosity concept was used in the present model. The interfacial eddy viscosity in the interface of main channel and floodplain was determined from the 3D Reynolds stress model. The evaluated interfacial eddy viscosity appears to be good agreement with those proposed previously. To investigate the effect of interfacial eddy viscosity, sensitive analysis was carried out. the computed backwater profiles are nearly identical with respect to the value of the interfacial eddy viscosity. However, the discharge conveyed by the floodplain changes is proportional to the interfacial eddy viscosity. Finally, the changes of the interfacial eddy viscosity due to the vegetation density and vegetation height were examined. The computed results of interfacial eddy viscosity are in proportion to the vegetation density and vegetation height, and the interfacial eddy viscosity has a range of $(2-5)\;{\times}\;10^{-4}$.

In this study, stability analysis of boundary layers on airfoils is performed by using parabolized stability equations(PSE). Boundary layer edge conditions are obtained by compressible inviscid flow calculations. Mean velocity and temperature profiles of the laminar boundary layer are obtained by solving compressible boundary layer equations in generalized curvilinear coordinates with fourth order accuracy in the wall normal direction. Laminar mean flow profiles are used as input data for PSE to investigate growth rates of disturbances and stability characteristics. For the cases of boundary layer on NACA0012 and HSNLF(1)-0213 airfoils at Mach number 0.5, growth rates with respect to disturbance frequencies and profiles of disturbance amplitude are investigated. The effect of angle of attack on stability characteristics are examined at both upper and lower surfaces. The neutral stability curves, effect of Mach number and effect of airfoil section shapes are also analyzed.

Theoretical foundation and algorithms are presented of a new surface modeling and pre-processing system for the three-dimensional structures. The modeling method is based on the boundary representation scheme and composed of two hierarchical model structures: curve-network and surface models. The concept of modeling curve as a union of links is introduced to facilitate surface modeling via various transfinite mapping techniques or Coons Patches. Efficiency and novel aspects of the present method are discussed. Finite element mesh genceration and application procedures will be reported in a later paper.

본 논문에서는 초음파 영상에서 어깨 부위를 분석하여 어깨 힘줄(Tendon) 영역에서 인대 손상영역을 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 초음파 영상에서 ROI(Region of Interest)을 추출하고 샤프닝 기법을 적용하여 ROI 영역을 뚜렷한 후에 퍼지 스트레칭 기법을 적용하여 명암 대비를 높인 후, 평균 이진화 기법을 적용하여 ROI 영역을 이진화 한다. 이진화된 ROI 영역에 침식, 팽창기법과 라벨링 기법을 적용하여 전체 ROI의 면적 영역에서 0.4%이하인 객체 영역들을 잡음으로 간주하여 제거한 후, ROI 영역에서 수평 너비가 가장 큰 영역의 상단 경계에 스플라인 곡선을 적용한다. 스플라인 곡선이 적용된 영역에서 곡선이 가장 높은 지점을 구한 후, 구한 지점으로부터 ROI 영역의 세로 길이의 1/5를 갖는 상단부분을 제거한 후에 양자화할 영역을 추출하고 FCM을 적용하여 양자화를 한다. 양자화된 영역에서 어깨 힘줄 영역 안에 있는 인대 손상의 후보 영역을 추출하고 면적의 크기가 0.14%이상이거나 3%이하인 영역을 어깨 힘줄의 인대 손상 영역으로 추출한다. 제안된 방법을 어깨 힘줄이 있는 초음파 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 제안된 방법이 어깨 힘줄의 인대 손상 영역이 비교적 정확히 추출되었다.

The failure phenomenon of overlaid concrete structures, such as surface crack and peel-off failure in the contact zone, was investigated due to temperature shock(rainfall). To investigate this failure phenomenon, the surface tensile stress, and the shear stress, the vertical tensile stress in the contact zone were analysed using the non-linear stress-strain relationship of material such as strain-hardening- and strain-softening diagrams. Rainfall intensity, overlay thickness and overlay material were the main variables in the analyses. It is assumed that the initial temperature of overlaid concrete structures was heated up to 55$\^{C}$ by the solar heat. With a rain temperature 10$\^{C}$ and the rainfall intensity of nR=1/a, tR=10min, 60min, the stress states of overlaid concrete structures were calculated. The result shows that only fictitious cracks occurred in the overlay surface and no shear bond failure occurred in the contact zone. The vortical tensile stress increasing with overlay thickness was proved to be the cause of peel-off failure in the contact zone. The formulae for relationship between the vertical tensile stress and overlay thickness, material properties were derived. Using this formulae, it is possible to select proper material and overlay thickness to prevent failure in the contact zone due to temperature shock caused by rainfall.

K-water에서는 가뭄으로 인한 피해를 완화시키기 위해 '댐 용수공급 조정 기준'을 만들어 전국 다목적 댐들을 대상으로 시범적으로 적용하고 있다. 그런데 가뭄 기간(2008~2009)에 대하여 합천댐의 용수공급 조정기준을 이용해 저수지를 모의운영한 결과, 이 기준은 가뭄에 효과적으로 대응하지 못할 수도 있다고 판단되었고, 그에 따라 대안 기준을 제시하고자 한다. 용수공급 조정기준은 가뭄 대응 단계를 4단계(관심, 주의, 경계, 심각)로 나누고 있으며, 순단위로 각 단계별 감량공급 실행 저수량과 감량 공급량을 제시하고 있다. 이기준을 이용한 합천댐의 모의 운영 결과, 가뭄기간동안 용수공급에 실패한 경우가 발생하였다. 이는 K-water의 합천댐 용수공급 조정 기준이 가뭄 대응에 적합하지 못할 수도 있다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서 제시하고자 하는 대안은 이산화 용수 감량공급 기법에서 도출된 용수 감량공급 현 저수량 기준곡선이다. 과거 심각한 가뭄이 발생한 1994년과 1995년을 대상으로 하여 기준곡선을 도출하였으며, 각 단계별 감량공급 실행 저수량은 혼합정수계획법을 이용해 결정하였다. 또한, 이 기준곡선을 이용하여 동일한 가뭄 기간 (2008~2009)에 대해 저수지 모의운영을 실시하였다. 그 결과 K-water의 합천댐 용수공급 조정 기준을 적용한 모의운영 결과에서는 용수공급 실패가 발생한데 비해 대안으로 제시하는 기준곡선을 적용한 모의운영 결과에서는 용수공급을 실패한 경우가 없었다. 이는 대안으로 제시한 기준곡선이 K-water의 기준곡선에 비해 가뭄 대응에 보다 적합한 것을 의미한다. 그 이유로는 대안으로 제시한 기준곡선의 감량공급 실행 저수량이 댐 용수공급 조정 기준의 값들보다 커 미리 감량공급이 이루어지기 때문이다.

This paper discusses the prediction and validation of design loads of satellite components using modal mass acceleration curve (Modal MAC). To calculate the acceleration upper bound of the satellite components subjected to the launch environment by the Modal MAC, the parameters of SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle were used, and the acceleration upper bound curve in the modal domain was derived. After that, the maximum acceleration loads applied to the satellite components were predicted by combining Modal MAC with the spacecraft interface loads of the satellite/launch vehicle and modal information of the satellite. In addition, the accuracy of the Modal MAC was validated through comparison with the results of the coupled loads analysis using a simple satellite and launch vehicle model.

This paper proposes a finger counting algorithm for a hand with stuck fingers. The proposed algorithm is based on the fact that straight line type shadows are inevitably generated between fingers. It divides the hand region into the thumb region and the four fingers region for effective shadow detection, and generates an edge image in each region. Projection curves are generated by appling a line detection and a projection technique to each edge image, and the peaks of the curves are detected as candidates for finger shadows. And then peaks due to finger shadows are extracted from them and counted. In the finger counting experiment on hand images expressing various shapes with stuck fingers, the counting success rate is from 83.3% to 100% according to the number of fingers, and 93.1% on the whole. It also shows that if hand images are generated under controlled conditions, the failure cases can be sufficiently improved.
