The expanding copper mandrel test performed at three strain rates (3.2$\times$10E -5/s, 2.0$\times$10E-6/s and 1.2$\times$10E-7/s) over 553-873 K temperature range by varying the heating rates (8-1$0^{\circ}C$/s, 1-2$^{\circ}C$/s and 0.5$^{\circ}C$/s) in air and in vacuum (5$\times$10E-5 torr). The yield stress peak, the strain rate sensitivity minimum and the activation volume peaks could be explained in terms of the dynamic strain aging. The activation energy for dynamic strain aging obtained from the yield stress peak temperature and strain rate was 196 KJ/mol and this value was in good agreement with the activation energy for oxygen diffusion in $\alpha$-zirconium and Zircaloy-2 (207-220 KJ/mol). Therefore, oxygen atoms are responsible for the dynamic strain aging which appeared between 573 K and 673 K. The yield stress increase due to the oxidation was obtained by comparing the yield stress in air with that in vacuum and represented by the percentage increase of yield stress ( $\sigma$$^{a}$ $_{y}$ - $\sigma$$^{v}$ $_{y}$ / $\sigma$$^{v}$ $_{y}$ ). The slower the strain rate, the greater the percentage increase occurs. In order to estimate the yield stress of PWR fuel cladding material under the service environment, the yield stress in water was obtained by comparing the oxidation rate in air that in water assuming the relationship between the oxygen pick-up amount and the yield stress increase.

The segment matching method shows better performance than the global and points-based methods to compare reference signature with an input signature. However, the segment-to-segment matching method has the problem of decreasing recognition rate according to the variation of partitioning points. This paper proposes a fusion model based on the segment matching and HMM to construct a more reliable authentic system. First, a segment matching classifier is designed by conventional technique to calculate matching values lot dynamic information of signatures. And also, a novel HMM classifier is constructed by using the principal component analysis to calculate matching values for static information of signatures. Finally, SVM classifier is adopted to effectively combine two independent classifiers. From the various experiments, we find that the proposed method shows better performance than the conventional segment matching method.

The energy efficiency is extremely significant in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) which deliver the data sensed in the sensor field, using wireless communications. Under the characteristics of WSN, many MAC protocols employ the Duty Cycle mechanism which continuously operates Wakeup and Sleep periods, for the energy efficiency. However, constant Wakeup period in general Duty Cycle incurs the limited performance of the energy efficiency and the receiving ratio. For addressing this, we design and propose a new scheme called Variable Wakeup Period, considering local traffic conditions. Our scheme enhances receiving ratio by increasing Wakeup period under the high traffic condition, and makes high energy efficiency by decreasing Wakeup period under the otherwise condition. In addition, we evaluate the performance of our scheme by performing the simulation, which experiments the previous synchronous and asynchronous MAC protocols, and which also experiments the same protocols with the proposed scheme, for comparative evaluations.

For tracing tag locations, a trajectories should be modeled and indexed in radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. The trajectory of a tag can be represented as a line that connects two spatiotemporal locations captured when the tag enters and leaves the vicinity of a reader. If a tag enters but does not leave a reader, its trajectory is represented only as a point captured at entry and we should extend the region of a query to find the tag that remains in a reader. In this paper, we propose an interval data model of tag's trajectory in order to solve the problem. For the interval data model. we propose a new index scheme called the IR-tree(Interval R-tree) and algorithms of insert and split for processing query efficiently. We also evaluate the performance of the proposed index scheme and compare it with the previous indexes.

최근 풍수해 현황 분석(국민안전처, 2016)에서는 2003년 이후 태풍 루사와 매미와 같은 대형태풍이 최근에 발생하지 않아 대부분 하천급류로 인한 인명피해가 대부분이라고 언급하였다. 최근 풍수해로 인한 피해가 발생하지는 않았지만 호우/태풍이 발생할 경우 인명보호와 불편해소를 최우선에 두고 각종 정책들을 선제적으로 추진하고 있어 홍수범람발생 예상지역에 대한 인명피해 분석은 반드시 필요하다고 판단된다. 최근들어 인명피해를 평가하는 기술은 피해자료로부터 비교적 간단히 분석되는 경험적 방법에서 2차원 동적 수리모형과 연계, 그리고 정밀한 인구, 건물 등의 자료를 활용하여 대피율, 사전경보 등 인명피해에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요소를 복합적으로 고려하고 개념적이고 기계적 방법으로 발전하는 추세이다. 우리나라의 경우 인명피해 평가와 관련한 연구사례가 거의 전무한 상태이고, 치수경제성분석에서 제시하는 침수면적에 기반한 간략한 방법만이 실무에서 활용되고 있다. 최근 국외에서 제시한 접근방법은 본 연구에서의 개발하고자 하는 목적과 방향에 부합하지 않다고 판단되며, 국내 실정을 고려할 때 주요 영향인자를 추가하고, 특히 노출인구, 인명 인벤토리의 해상도를 높이는 데 주안점을 두고자 한다. 홍수로 인한 인명피해 발생확률은 사후분석의 일환으로 침수흔적도를 통해 총 2개의 침수구간을 설정한 후 Census data를 활용한 위험인구(Population at Risk, PAR)를 산정한후, NDMS 인명피해 자료를 활용하여 침수구간별 인명피해 발생확률을 제시하였다. 여기서 제시한 침수구간의 경우 데이터의 축적정도에 따라 구간을 세밀화 할 수 있는데, 본 연구에서는 총 2개구간(0-1m, 1m 이상)으로 계략화 하여 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 4개의 지자체의 인명피해 자료를 통해 인명피해 발생확률을 산정하였으며, 해당내용을 시범유역의 빈도별 침수구역도에 적용하여 인명피해 발생을 분석하였다. 해당 연구결과의 경우 인명피해에 대한 명확한 결과를 유추하는데에는 한계가 있지만, 인명피해에 기반한 해당지역의 장래피해규모를 예측하는 데에는 기초가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, we aimed to convert the fire curve in volume units to a fire curve per unit area for application in the Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS) surface heat release rate method. The fire curve was expressed dimensionlessly considering the total combustion characteristic time, and improvements were made to represent the appropriate ratios for the growth , steady, and decay phases concerning the fire intensity. Additionally, a correction function for combustion characteristic time varying with mass increase was derived. Also to control the growth time values according to the increase in mass, a function to correct the growth phase ratio was derived. Consequently, utilizing existing data, a formula was established to determine the reference mass for combustion materials and predict the fire curve based on mass increase.

An algorithm is proposed for estimating dynamic displacements of a bridge by using FBG sensors and by superposing some measurable low modes. Modal displacements are obtained from the beam theory and the generalized coordinates are deduced from the strains measured by FBG sensors. By considering flexural and torsional modes occurred in bridges only as flexural modes of a simply supported beam by separating a bridge into multiple girders or parts, the proposed algorithm can be applied to various types of bridges. Guidelines are provided theoretically for determining the number of modes and the number of strain gages to be used. The proposed algorithm has been examined through simulation studies on various types of bridges, laboratory experiments on a model bridge, and field tests on a simple span PC Box girder bridge. Through the simulation study, the effects of the error in the vibration modes and measurement noise on estimating the dynamic displacements are analyzed.

In this paper, a dynamic GTS scheduling method based on IEEE 802.15.4 is proposed for wireless control system. The proposed method can guarantee a transmission of real-time periodic and sporadic data within the time frame in factory environment. The modified superframe of IEEE 802.15.4 was used to the dynamic scheduling method of real-time mixed traffic(periodic data, sporadic data, and non real-time message). By separating CFP and CAP properly, the sporadic and non real-time messages are transmitted effectively and guarantee real-time transmission within a deadline. The simulation results show the improvement of real-time performance of periodic and sporadic data.

This paper proposes a CW (Contention window) allocation scheme for real-time data transmission of emergency data on VANET (Vehicle to vehicle Ad hoc Network, V2V) protocol. The proposed scheme reduces the probability of packet collisions on V2V protocol and provides bandwidth efficiency with short delay of emergency sporadic data. In the case of high density traffic, the proposed scheme provides a decrease of recollision probability using dynamic CW adjustments. For the performance analysis, a throughput, end-to-end delays, and network loads were investigated on highway traffic. Simulation results show the performance enhancements in terms of the throughput, end-to-end delays, and network loads.

In this paper, we propose a dynamic slot allocation algorithm for efficient transmission of VBR services in wireless ATM networks. The proposed algorithm is based on a hybrid dynamic parameter(DP) control which combines the strength of in-band control and out-of-band control by considering the variation characteristics of buffer length in distributed mobile terminals. This algorithm consists of four sub-algorithms: dynamic parameter determination algorithm, dynamic parameter transmission algorithm, estimation algorithm of the number of request slots, and prorated-allocation algorithm. As the proposed allocation algorithm based on the hybrid DP control scheme can offer nearly precise MAC level estimations of the requirements for each VBR, the algorithm makes it possible to obtain ideal allocation efficiency. The allocation efficiency of the algorithm is shown by numerical analysis. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance than conventional schemes in terms of allocation efficiency, delay and cell loss ratio under VBR traffic.
