Medical lift column controlling the vertical position while supporting heavy eccentric load should have the high fatigue strength as well as the extremely low structural deflection and vibration in order to maintain the positioning accuracy. The lift column driven by a induction motor is generally in a three-step sliding boom structure and exhibits the time-varying stress distribution according to the up-and-down motion. This study is concerned with the numerical prediction of the fatigue strength of the lift column subject to the time-varying stress caused by the up-and-down motion. The stress variation during a motion cycle is obtained by finite element analysis and the fatigue life is predicted making use of Palmgren-miner's rule and S-N curves. In order to secure the numerical analysis reliability, a 3-D FEM, model in which the detailed lift column structure and the fitting parts are fully considered, is generated and the interfaces between lift column and pads are treated by the contact condition.

In recent years, experimental and theoretical studies show that turbulent flows looking disordered have a definite structure produced repetitively with visible order. As a core structure of turbulence, hairpin vertices are believed to play a major role in developing and sustaining the turbulence process in the near wall region of turbulent boundary layers and may be regarded as the simplest conceptual model that can account for the essential features of the wall pressure fluctuations. In this work, fully developed typical hairpin vortices are focused and the associated surface pressure distributions and their corresponding spectra are estimated. On the basis of the attached eddy model, the overall surface pressure spectra are represented in terms of the eddy size distribution. The model is validated by comparison of predicted wavenumber spectra with existing empirical models, the results of direct numerical simulation (DNS) and also spatial correlations with experimental measurements.

To ensure the serviceability requirements of PSC composite girder bridges, it is essential to predict the stresses and deformations of the structure under service load conditions. Stresses and deformations vary continuously with time due to the effects of creep and shrinkage of concrete and relaxation of prestressing steel. The importance of these time-dependent effects is much more pronounced in precast prestressed concrete structures built in stages than in those constructed in one operation. In this paper, time-dependent analyses for PSC composite bridges using 30m standard girders have been conducted considering with the variation of the times of introducing initial prestressing forces and casting concrete. A computer program has been developed for the time-dependent analysis of simple or continuous PSC composite girders and parametric studies are conducted. Based on the numerical results, it is investigated the long-term behaviors of PSC composite girder bridges and discussed the limitations of the current codes for the prestress loss.

수자원공학에서 일강수량 모의기법은 다양한 목적으로 활용되고 있지만, 일반적으로 홍수와 가뭄의 영향을 고려할 수 있는 수공구조물의 위험도 및 신뢰성 평가 및 수자원 계획을 수립하기 위한 입력 자료생성을 목적으로 활용된다. 유역 단위의 분석시 단일 지점에 대한 강수 모의 기법을 적용할 경우 각각의 지점에서 관측된 강수 자료의 시계열 및 통계치 특성이 효과적으로 재현되지만 공간적으로 발생하는 즉, 지점 간의 종속관계를 재현하지 못하는 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 이유로 공간적인 전이 특성이 있는 가뭄 분석 및 유역내 유출량의 공간적 변동 특성 분석에 단일지점별 모의 결과를 이용할 경우 관측 자료와 상반된 공간적 변동성으로 인하여 잘못된 가뭄 및 유출 분석 결과가 도출되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서, 실제적으로 발생하는 강수 특성을 반영한 유역 단위의 홍수 및 가뭄 등의 수문 분석을 위해서는 지점간의 종속성을 반영할 수 있는 다지점 강수 모의 모형의 적용이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 다지점 모의에 있어서, Wilks 모형의 지점별 시변동 특성과 공간상관성 재현 능력, HMM 모형이 갖는 강수 사상별로 분포된 양적 분포 패턴 재현 능력을 복합적으로 나타낼 수 있는 새로운 다지점 일강수량 모의 모형인 기계학습 기반 범주화 기법을 이용한 다지점 일강수량 모의 모형(ML-MRS)을 개발하였다. 또한, 지점별 강수량에 적용되는 확률분포모형은 Gamma 분포로 구성된 혼합모형을 적용하여 단일 확률 분포 모형의 자료 적합 문제를 개선하였다. 모의를 통한 일강수량 시계열 자료는 일 강수자료의 통계량을 효과적으로 모의하였으며, 다지점 모형의 모의 결과를 적용한 가뭄 모의 결과 관측 자료에서 나타나는 공간적 패턴이 재현되었다. 본 모형은 시 공간적 사상을 효과적으로 재현함으로서 지역의 변동특성을 반영한 가뭄, 홍수, 기상 현상 분석 등 활용도가 매우 높을 것으로 판단된다.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a key technology that has been seeing increasing use in studying the structural and functional innerworkings of the brain. Analyzing the variability of brain connectome through tractography analysis has been used to increase our understanding of disease pathology in humans. However, there lacks standardization of analysis methods for small animals such as mice, and lacks scientific consensus in regard to accurate preprocessing strategies and atlas-based neuroinformatics for images. In addition, it is difficult to acquire high resolution images for mice due to how significantly smaller a mouse brain is compared to that of humans. In this study, we present an Allen Mouse Brain Atlas-based image data analysis pipeline for structural connectivity analysis involving structural region segmentation using mouse brain structural images and diffusion tensor images. Each analysis method enabled the analysis of mouse brain image data using reliable software that has already been verified with human and mouse image data. In addition, the pipeline presented in this study is optimized for users to efficiently process data by organizing functions necessary for mouse tractography among complex analysis processes and various functions.

In the development of engineering designs, decisions are required irrespective of the state of completeness and quality of information, and are formulated under conditions of uncertainty. Furthermore, under conditions of uncertainty the design invokes risks. Thus, in the design of the structures, the currently used deterministic design method does not provide a realistic assessment of the actual safety or the reliability of the structures. It is desirable that decisions required in The process of the design invariably must be made based on the reliability analysis. Properties of soil material are subject to more uncertainty than those of other structural material. In the field of soil mechanics and foundation engineering, it needed to develop reliability-based design methods. In order to simplify the reliability analysis or the reliability-based design process of the structures associated with the active earth pressure, it is necessary to find the variation and the distribution type of the active earth pressure calculated from the basic properties of soils. Monte Carlo simulation is performed to obtain the relationship between the variation of the active earth pressure for cohessionless soils calculated by using Rankine formula and the basic soil properties and the distribution type of the earth pressure. A series of regression equations obtained by utilizing the multi-linear regression analysis is suggested in this paper and the sensitivity of the basic soil properties to the variation of The earth pressure is investigated. The type of distribution of the active earth pressure was found to be the beta distribution in most cases or to be very similar to the beta distribution, if the basic soil variables are normally distributed.

Determination of crack depth in filed using the self-calibrating surface wane transmission measurement and the cutting frequency in the transmission function (TRF) is very difficult due to variations of the measurement conditions. In this study, it is proposed to use the measured full TRF as a feature for crack depth assessment. A Principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to generate a basis of the measured TRFs for various crack cases. The measured TRFs are represented by their projections onto the most significant principal components. Then artificial neural networks (NNs) using the PCA-compressed TRFs is applied to assess the crack in concrete. Experimental study is carried out for five different crack cases to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Results reveal that the proposed method can be effectively used for the crack depth assessment of concrete structures.

Most textbooks of urban geography explain that land value drops down with distance from the Peak Land Value Intersection of urban center. However, There is little rigorous empirical work supporting this belief. Using the publicly notified individual land price data of 2013, this paper examines the structure of land value in urban center with a focus on spatial distribution of land value by land use. As an analytic result, the structure of land price varies between land uses, significantly being different from the classical model of land value in urban space. In residential lands and mixed-use lands for residence and commerce, land price gradient as a function of distance from PLVI is positive and a crater phenomenon even is identified in spatial distribution of land value. The classical model coincides only with land for commerce and office. Nonetheless, predict of land uses by land value function fairly corresponds to Alonso's model.
