Application of semiconductor sensors has widely spreaded into various industries because those have several merits like easy miniaturization and batch production comparison with previous mechanical sensors. But external conditions such as thermal and repetitive load have a bad effect on sensors's lifetime. Especially, this paper was focused on fatigue life of a interconnect made by various materials. Firstly we implemented the stress analysis for interconnect under thermal load and wording pressure. And the fatigue lifetime of each material was induced by Manson & Coffin Equation using the plastic stress-strain curve obtained by the plastic-elastic Finite Element Analysis.

This paper presents a new adaptive macroblock quantization algorithm which generates the output bits corresponding to the target bit budget. The H.264 standard uses various coding modes and optimization methods to improve the compression performance, which makes it difficult to control the amount of the generated traffic accurately. In the proposed scheme, linear regression analysis is used to analyze the relationship between the bit rate of each macroblock and the quantization parameter and to predict the MAD values. Using the predicted values, the quantization parameter of each macroblock is determined by the Lagrange multiplier method and then modified according to the difference between the bit budget and the generated bits. It is shown by experimental results that the new algorithm can generate output bits accurately corresponding to the target bit rates.

The focal mechanism of the Hongsung Earthquake (1978. Oct. 7, M$_L$=5.0, Latitude 36.62N, Longitude 1 26.67E) was evaulated using the polarity distribution of the P-Waveforms. Through the non-linear computer process, the compatibility of polarity distributions of the 9 P-Waveforms observed at teleseismic distances from the Hongsung Earthquake epicenter was investigated to those of the focal mechanism determined from the varying strike, dip and rake angles. The resultant values for the strike and dip angle of the principal fault plane, which apparently matches very well the sunface lineament of the Hongsung region, are determined to be about 247 degree and 78 degree with uncertainties, respectively. However, the rake angle of the focal mechanism has wide range of 40 degree to 160 degree, which is mainly due to the poor coverage of the azimuthal angle of the observed seismic stations. Due to the consistency of principal stress axes, the resultant focal mechanism could support the current stress regime of that region, which may be caused by subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Eurasia Plate along the Japan Trench. It also provides information of seismic source characteristics of the part of the Korean Peninsula for aseismic design criteria such as Site Specific Response Spectrum and Strong Ground Motion Time History for the nuclear power plants and related nuclear waste disposal facility sites.

Plans of underground roads have been established, and the possibilities of underground road constructions have been growing in Korea. However, the study on characteristics of underground roads, the enactment of law, and the establishment of design criteria haven't been conducted so far, if any. Based on these backgrounds, the paper presents the basic direction on the construction method of underground roads. It also investigates the needs and characteristics of underground roads and reviews domestic and foreign examples. Major results by implementing the research are as follows: 1) when selecting the route of underground roads, the use of underground space, technical aspects, and traffic systems should be comprehensively considered; 2) the design speed of underground roads will be 10km/h above the speed limit to secure safety; 3) disaster prevention facilities should be planned to connect high traffic management system for coping with unexpected situations. Although this study has a limitation that hasn't reflected the driver's characteristics on new spaces such as underground roads, it has some significance that it suggests the major reviewing issues on the construction of underground roads, and presents the direction through the previous study.

The reliability analysis of simply-supported and continuous composite plate girder and box girder bridges under flexure was performed to provide a basic data for the development of LRFD c ode. The bridges were designed based on LRFD specification with newly proposed design live load which was developed by analyzing traffic statistics from highways and local roads. A performance function for flexural failure was expressed as a function of the flexural resistance of composite section and the design moments due to permanent load and live load. For the flexural resistance, the statistical parameters obtained by analyzing over 16,000 domestic structural steel samples were used. Several different values of bias factors for the live load moment from 1.0 to 1.2 were used. Due to the lack of available domestic measured data on the moment by permanent loads, the same statistical properties used in the calibration of ASHTO-LRFD were ap plied. The reliability indices for the composite girder bridges with various span lengths, different live load factors, and bias fact or for the live load were obtained by applying the Rackwitz-Fiessler technique.

물은 생물의 생존을 위해 필수적인 요소로 인류가 시작된 이래로 물을 효율적으로 이용하고 안전하게 관리하기 위한 노력은 계속되어 왔다. 최근 지구 온난화가 주요 원인으로 알려진 국지성 집중호우의 피해는 매우 심각하며, 이로 인해 치수에 대한 중요성은 날로 커지고 있다. 지금까지 사용해 왔던 홍수 예 경보 과정은 특정 지점의 유출량을 예측하기 위해서 강우-유출 모형을 운영하였다. 그러나 물리적 모형의 경우 운영에 필요한 매개변수의 결정과정이 복잡하고, 매개변수 결정을 위해 많은 자료를 필요로 한다. 또한 그 매개변수의 결정과정은 많은 불확실성을 포함하고 있어서 모형의 운영을 위한 전처리과정과 계산과정을 거치는 동안 발생한 오차가 누적되어 결과물 속에는 많은 오차가 포함되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 홍수 예 경보 시스템의 문제점과 불확실성을 최대한 감소시키고 더 우수한 유출량 예측을 위해 neuro-fuzzy 추론 기법을 이용한 모형인 ANFIS(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System)를 사용하여 하천수위를 예측하였다. ANFIS는 신경회로망과 퍼지이론을 결합한 기법으로 신경회로망의 구조와 학습 능력을 이용하여 제어환경에서 획득한 입 출력 정보로부터 언어변수의 membership 함수와 제어규칙을 제어 대상에 적합하도록 자동으로 조종하는 기법이다. 본 연구에서는 ANFIS를 사용하여 탄천 하류에 위치한 대곡교의 수위를 예측하였다. 분석을 위해 2007년부터 2011년까지의 탄천 유역의 관측 강우자료와 수위 자료 중 강우강도와 지속시간, 강우 형태에 따라 7개의 강우사상을 선정하였다. 학습자료 및 보정자료의 변화에 따른 예측 오차를 비교하여 모형의 적용성과 적정성을 평가하였다. 적용결과 입력자료 구성의 경우 해당 시간의 강우량 및 수위자료와 10분 전 강우자료를 이용한 모델이 가장 우수한 예측을 보였고, 학습자료의 경우 자료의 길이가 길고, 최대홍수량이 큰 경우 가장 우수한 예측 결과를 보였다. 본 연구의 적용결과 가장 우수한 모형의 경우 30분 예측 첨두수위 오차는 0.32%, RMSE는 0.05m 이고 예측시간이 길어짐에 따라 오차가 비선형적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

The differential equations governing free vibrations of the elastic arches with unsymmetric axis are derived in Cartesian coordinates rather than in polar coordinates. in which the effect of rotatory inertia is included. Frequencies and mode shapes are computed numerically for parabolic arches with both clamped ends and both hinged ends. Comparisons of natural frequencies between this study and SAP 2000 are made to validate theories and numerical methods developed herein. The convergent efficiency is highly improved under the newly derived differential equations in Cartesian coordinates. The lowest four natural frequency parameters are reported, with and without the rotatory inertia, as functions of three non-dimensional system parameters the rise to chord length ratio. the span length to chord length ratio, and the slenderness ratio. Also typical mode shapes of vibrating arches are presented.

In recent years, tunnel construction is being increased in order to resolve traffic congestion around urban area, however there are a lot of difficulties due to restrictions such as interference with existing alignment, adjacent structures and cost increase of land acquisition as well as public complaints for negative environmental impacts near the expected tunnel construction site. Therefore, applications of close parallel tunnel have been increasing greatly. But close parallel tunnels cannot guarantee the stability compared with normal parallel tunnel which has enough distance between tunnels. So various methods to strengthen the pillar have been introduced recently, however there is few methods which consider the pillar behaviour in the state of compression. In this paper, the reinforcement methods which reflect the behavior of pillar were reviewed with comparision and analysis by numerical method.

Adaptive equalizers are inevitable schemes in digital communication systems for compensating the transmission channel distortion. Additionally, to obtain the required BER(Bit Error Rate), the adaptive algorithms appropriate to the mobile communication channels are required. In this paper, we propose the NPDFE (Noise-Predictive Decision Feedback Equalizer) for communication systems performance improvement in mobile communication channels. The performance of the proposed NPDFE with QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) is simulated under AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise), Ricean fading, ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) fading, and Rayleigh fading channels. The equalizers used in simulations are a LE (Linear Equalizer), a DFE (Decision Feedback Equalizer), and a NPDFE. Moreover, the equalizer performance criterion of the QPSK is the BER.
