본 논문에서는 실제 입력 차량 영상으로부터 명암도 변화 정보와 원형 패턴 벡터를 이용하여 차량 번호판을 인식하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 일반적으로 차량 영상에서는 번호판 영역에서 문자와 배경이 뚜렷하게 구별되고, 일정한 명암도 변화를 가지면서 번호판 이외의 다른 영역 보다 빌집도가 높은 특성이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 성질을 이용하여 먼저 명암도 변화값을 사용하여 번호판을 추출하도록 하였으며 영상 입력 과정에서 외부 환경에 따라 차량 영상이 어둡거나 밝게 입력될 경우에도 동일한 추출 성능을 얻기 위하여 밝기 보정 과정을 수행하였다. 또한 추출된 번호판 영역으로부터 입력 문자의 크기, 이동 및 회전에 무관한 특성 추출을 위해 원형 패턴 벡터를 이용하여 차량 번호를 인식하도록 하였다. 제안한 알고리즘을 적용한 결과 번호판 추출이 가능하였으며 기존의 방법에 비해 계산 속도가 향상되어 실시간 처리의 가능성을 제시하였다.

원형주상체 주위의 유동을 규명하기 위해 회류수조에서 원주방향으로 24개의 위치에 대하여 압력을 계측하였으며, laser sheet을 이용하여 유동을 가시화 하였다. Reynolds수가 4800에서 40000인 범위에 대하여 실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 원형단면체 주위의 비정상 층류유동에 대한 Navier-Stokes방정식의 해를 구하는 수치해석기법을 개발하였다. 효과적인 격자배치를 위하여 H와 O-type의 중첩격자를 사용하였고, 이산화 방법으로는 정규격자시스템에서 유한차분법을 적용하였다. 실험과 수치해석결과에서 뚜렷한 와류박리현상을 볼 수 있었으며, 압력계수 (C$_{p}$ ), 항력계수(C$_{D}$), 스트로얼수(St)를 정량적으로 비교하였을 때, 비교적 잘 일치하는 것을 확인하였다.다.

본 논문에서는 입력패턴과 그 k 근방 원형상에 잇어서 노름 평균에 기초한 최근접 결정법칙에 의한 패턴식별법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 식별경계 근방의 원형상에 있어서 분산의 차에 의한 가중치를 고려하기 때문에 패턴의 수가 적을 때 입력패턴을 정확하게 분류할 때 사용될 수 있다. 본 방법의 유효성을 평가하기 위해 인공적인 패턴과 실제패턴에 대해 k-NN 등 기존방법과 제안하는 방법을 적용하여 식별률에 의한 평가를 행한 결과, 특히 원형상의 분포가 희박한 경우 제안하는 방법이 기존방법에 비해 높은 식별률을 나타냈다.

멀티미디어 컨텐츠에 가시적 혹은 비 가시적으로 정보를 삽입하는 기술을 워터마킹이라고 한다. 워터마크를 삽입한 컨텐츠는 일련의 공격에 강인하도록 설계되어야 하는데, 본 기법은 기하학적 공격에 강인하도록 설계하였다. Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT)을 이용하여 특징점을 찾고, 특징점 주변에 원형의 워터마크를 삽입하였다. SIFT에서 구해지는 방향벡터를 사용하여, 워터마크를 삽입할 원형 반구를 설정하였으며, 기존의 원형 기반의 워터마킹 삽입기법보다 강인한 워터마크를 구성할 수 있는 장점을 가진다.

Valve springs with non-circular cross-section are widely used in automotive engines. Because of the reduced height, the oval cross-section provides some merits in its install height and stress distribution. This paper introduces a new method to generate optimal shape of the non-circular cross-section. For given width and height, arbitrary shape of the cross-section are described using the Hermite spline curves. Cross-section area and maximum stress level are chosen as performance indices, and nonlinear optimization problems are formulated with inequality constraints. Compared to a production spring wire, cross-section area can be reduced about 2.4 [%] without increasing maximum stress level. In addition, the other approach gives an optimum cross-section which reduces maximum stress level of 2.0 [%] without increasing cross-section area.

The purposes of this study are predictions of the changes in the section geometry and determination of the initial cross section so that opposite side in height direction is exactly parallel after coiling process. Finite element analysis is carried out for the calculation of the sectional changes for mold spring item. Analysis results reveal that the slope of the top and bottom sides varies in the range of 5 to 8 degrees and the amount depends on the dimension of the outer diameter. The slopes of the sides should be defined first among design variables.

In this study, carbon fiber reinforced cement composites(CFRCs) reinforced with short noncircular type carbon fibers were fabricated and properties(drying shrinkage, resistance to freezing and thawing, and fracture toughness) were compared with those of the CFRCs reinforced with circular type carbon fibers. It was found that these properties greatly depended on the shape and length of carbon fibers. The drying shrinkage of CFRCs reinforced with C-type carbon fiber was superior to other CFRCs. This effect was increased with a high aspect ratio of fiber. The resistance to freezing and thawing was increased with the fiber length and fiber volume percent, but there was on remarkable effect to fiber shape. Fracture toughness and resistance to crack propagation of CFRCs reinforced with C-CFs were improved compared with other CFRCs. It was believed that the more absorption of fracture energy into the larger interface caused an increase in fracture toughness and resistance to crack propagation.

In this paper, the omnidirectional circularly polarized(CP) antenna using arc-shaped mushroom structure with curved branch is proposed. To obtain a vertical polarization and an omnidirectional radiation pattern, the CP antenna uses zeroth-order resonance(ZOR) mode of composite right and left handed(CRLH) transmission line. The horizontal polarization is achieved by the curved branches. Also, the spacing between curved branch and arc-shaped mushroom structure gives the $90^{\circ}$ phase difference between vortical and horizontal polarization. The proposed antenna, therefore, has an omnidirectional CP radiation pattern In the azimuthal plane. The electrical size of the proposed antenna is reduced by 38%, compared with that of the previously presented omnidirectional CP antenna. In addition, the CP antenna is simply designed without $90^{\circ}$ phase shifter and dual feed line. The proposed antenna uses a Bazooka balun for good impedance matching and radiation pattern. To improve 3 dB axial ratio in XY plane, the designed antenna is optimized. After optimization, the measured 3 dB axial ratio in XY plane is observed in $86{\sim}282^{\circ}$.

To improve the land use of urban, Construction of the circular steel column is required recently. The circular steel columns have a advantage for improving a load carrying rapacity as wall as reducing a effective section area. However, the circular steel columns under service load, such as earthquake, shows a tendency to cause local buckling and large deformation. To prevent these phenomena, use of longitudinal stiffeners is considered. The application of longitudinal stiffeners at the circular steel columns is expected to increase a load carrying capacity, buckling strength and seismic performance of circular steel column. However, increasing the loading carving rapacity of buckling which constructed the longitudinal stiffeners, was not investigated yet. Therefore it needs study on effect of longitudinal stiffener in pipe-section steel pier. In this study, the load rallying capacity of buckling of steel pier was investigated by using elastic-plastic finite element analysis considered geometrical and material non-linearity. Also, this study investigated the effect of longitudinal stiffeners on loading carrying capacity of buckling and the relationship between width and thickness of longitudinal stiffeners. And also, a Influence of longitudinal stiffeners on seismic performance of circular steel columns was investigated by numerical analysis

The effect of characteristics of ground and circular foundation on the dynamic behavior of the foundation in vertical motion are considered using an approximated analytical solution and a finite element analysis with absorbing (consistent transmitting) boundary. The shear wave velocity of homogeneous ground affects the resonant frequency of the foundation much but has nothing to do with the maximum response amplitude at resonant frequency. The density in this case affects both the resonant frequency and the maximum response. The size and the mass of the circular foundation are related both to the resonant frequency and the maximum response. However, Poisson's ratio has very little effect on dynamic behavior of the foundation. When the ground is not homogeneous but has the layers, different formations of shear wave velocities would also change the maximum response at resonant frequency.
