This paper addresses the design of the auto race-track and figure-8 flight mode which can be applied to expand the loitering flight mode and increase the safety of UAV. To implement these flight modes, necessary waypoints and entry points can be calculated automatically from several information of the ground control system. The flight logic is proposed to pass the desired waypoints as well as entry points and transfer to the desired flight path by combining the light-of-sight and loitering guidance controller. The proposed algorithm and logic is verified using the 6-DOF UAV model and nonlinear simulation under the several flight conditions.

A nylon wire holding and release mechanism (HRM) has been widely used for deployable applications of CubeSat owing to its simplicity and low cost. In general, structural safety of solar panel with an HRM has been designed by performing structural analysis under a launch environment. However, previous studies have not performed thermal analysis for HRM in an on-orbit environment. In this study, Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP) thermal analysis was performed to evaluate thermal stability of the mechanism in the orbital thermal environment of the pogo pin-based HRM applied to CubeSat. In addition, the effectiveness of the thermal design and performance of the pogo pin-based HRM were verified through a thermal vacuum test.

The numerical simulation using the Lattice Boltzmann Method in the field of computational fluid dynamics becomes wider in the engineering applications because of its simplicity of update rules compared to the conventional Navier-Stokes solvers. Here, a two-dimensional D2Q9 LB model is numerically tested with a few new computational treatment on the free surface. The single relaxation time is applied under the gravitational field where applied only in the higher density fluid because of its big density difference. At the free surface, the reconstruction techniques in combination with boundary conditions is adopted in order to get some distribution function coming into the fluid site from the air one, and surface tension, early stable test for the gravitional field is considered in it. With the implementation of the gravitational profile, conserving the overall mass and grid dependency are observed during the calculations and freesurface advance track is well captured with an experiment.

Teleoperation of a robot arm working in hazardous environments has been studied in the field of defense and security. A master system is an essential part that plays an important role in the teleoperation. We developed a master system, which is an essential part in the teleoperation, so that it can operate the slave robot arm intuitively and has excellent mobility and portability compared to conventional master systems. The master system adopted a Stewart platform to minimize the size and weight, and the legs of the Stewart platform are composed of wires to improve the operation range of the system. The experimental validation of the developed master system is conducted with a commercial IMU, and the experimental results show that the proposed master system can perform reliable and dexterous teleoperation.

The statistical modeling of input random variables is necessary in reliability analysis, reliability-based design optimization, and statistical validation and calibration of analysis models of mechanical systems. In statistical modeling methods, there are the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), AIC correction (AICc), Bayesian Information Criterion, Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE), and Bayesian method. Those methods basically select the best fitted distribution among candidate models by calculating their likelihood function values from a given data set. The number of data or parameters in some methods are considered to identify the distribution types. On the other hand, the engineers in a real field have difficulties in selecting the statistical modeling method to obtain a statistical model of the experimental data because of a lack of knowledge of those methods. In this study, commonly used statistical modeling methods were compared using statistical simulation tests. Their advantages and disadvantages were then analyzed. In the simulation tests, various types of distribution were assumed as populations and the samples were generated randomly from them with different sample sizes. Real engineering data were used to verify each statistical modeling method.

미계측 유역에서의 홍수위 예측을 위해서는 실제 지형에 가까운 하천 지형 자료의 취득이 필수적이다. 대부분의 경우 하천 지형 자료는 하천정비기본계획을 위한 횡단 측량 자료를 활용하고 있으나, 지방 하천 및 농촌의 소하천은 하천 단면 측량 자료가 존재하지 않는 경우가 많아 홍수위 모의에 어려움이 있다. 기존의 하천 단면을 추정하는 연구는 기 측정된 자료를 기반으로 미계측 된 구간 사이를 세밀하게 보간하는 기법을 제시하거나 최신의 장비 등을 활용하여 고도로 정밀한 측량 기법 등을 제시해왔다. 그러나 이러한 방법들은 유역의 전 구간에 대한 하천 단면을 추정하기에는 한계가 있으며, 소하천에 고도로 정밀한 측량 기법을 적용하기에는 시간과 비용의 과다한 소모가 우려된다. 이에 따라, 비교적 간단한 방법으로 유역의 전 구간에 대해 하천의 폭으로 하천 단면의 높이와 넓이를 추정하는 미측정 하천 단면 추정 기법이 개발된 바 있으나, 실제 미계측 유역에의 적용을 통한 검증은 수행되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 미계측 유역에서의 홍수위 예측을 위하여 개발된 하천 단면 추정 기법을 적용하여, 홍수위를 모의하고 실측 수위와의 비교를 통해 단면 추정기법의 적용성을 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해 하천정비계획을 참고하여 단면 자료가 존재하는 하천의 본류에 대하여 하천의 폭과 넓이, 높이 사이의 회귀식을 생성한 후, 지류의 미계측 유역에 적용하여 하천 단면을 추정하였다. 추정된 단면으로 부정류 흐름의 실측 홍수 사상으로 홍수위를 모의하였으며, 실측 수위와의 비교를 통해 단면 추정 기법의 적용성을 평가하였다. 본 연구를 통해 미측정 하천 단면 추정 기법의 평가 및 검증을 수행하였으며, 이를 적용하여 지방 하천 혹은 소하천 등에 대한 침수 대책 마련에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relation of security officers' martial arts training and job performance. To this end, we conducted surveys on security practitioners. The questionnaire consisted of three variables, "necessity of martial arts training, application to practical security work, improvement of job satisfaction". In this study for reliability analysis, Chronbach's Alpha coefficient was calculated. In order to verify the validity of the measured variables, exploratory factors were analyzed using the Berimax method. Both AVE and CR values of the measured variables were above the reference value of 0.5, indicating that the convergence validity was good. As a result of the hypothesis test, the standardization coefficient is 0.636 for "need for training in martial arts training${\Rightarrow}$practical security work", 0.986 for "practical security work${\Rightarrow}$job satisfaction improving", and the relationship between the two hypotheses is positive(+). In order to improve the job satisfaction of security-related practitioners, it seems necessary to raise the need for martial arts training.

Fault detection and diagnosis (FDI) algorithms are actively being researched for ensuring the integrity and reliability of environment perception sensors in autonomous vehicles. In this paper, a fault detection algorithm based on a multi-sensor perception system composed of radar, camera, and lidar is proposed to guarantee the safety of an autonomous vehicle's perception system. The algorithm utilizes reference generation filters and residual generation filters based on finite impulse response (FIR) filter estimates. By analyzing the residuals generated from the filtered sensor observations and the estimated state errors of individual objects, the algorithm detects faults in the environment perception sensors. The proposed algorithm was evaluated by comparing its performance with a Kalman filter-based algorithm through numerical simulations in a virtual environment. This research could help to ensure the safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles and to enhance the integrity of their environment perception sensors.
