본 연구에서는 환자의 골다공증 유무에 따른 내고정 장치 시술 직후 및 융합 후의 안정성을 평가하기 위해 다양한 하중 모드에서 C5-C6 운동분절의 생체역학적 거동을 분석하였다. 이러한 목적으로 먼저, C5-C6 경추부의 유한요소 모델을 구현하여 검증하였다. 모델의 결과는 기존 실험치와 유사하여 신뢰성이 부여되었다. 검증된 모델은 Smith-Robinson 방식으로 골이식물을 삽입한 후 전방 내고정 장치를 적용한 시술 상황을 재현하기 위해 수정되었다. 수정된 모델은 두 종류로 구현되었다. (1) 첫 번째 모델에서는, 시술 직후의 상황을 재현하기 위해 골이식물과 종판의 경계면에 접촉요소를 사용하였다. (2)두 번째 모델에서는 완전히 융합된 상황을 나타내기 위해 골이식물을 종판에 고정하였다. 골다공증의 효과를 예측하기 위하여 두 모델의 해면골에 대한 탄성계수를 변화시켰다(정상: 100MPa, 골다공증: 40MPa). 각 모델의 C5 주체의 상위면에 73.6N의 압축 하중을 가한 후에 108Nm의 굴곡/신전, 굽힘, 비틀림 하중을 가하였으며, C6 추체의 하단면은 모든 방향에 대하여 구속하였다. 전체적인 결과에 있어서 상대적 회전운동, 미끄럼운동, 골이식물 내에서의 von Mises 응력의 경우 정상 모델에 비해 골다공증 모델에서 증가함을 보였으며, 특히 시술 직후의 모델에서 비틀림 하중이 가해진 경우, 상대적 회전운동 및 미끄럼 운동이 가장 높게 예측되었다. 이는 골다공증환자에게 전방 내고정 장치를 시술한 경우 골이식물의 파단 및 유합의 실패가 비틀림 하중에서 발생할 수 있음을 나타낸다. 해면골의 von Mises 응력은 시술 직후에 골다공증 모델의 모든 하중 모드에서, 유합 후에는 굽힘 하중 외의 모든 하중에서 ultimate strength를 초과하는 것으로 나타나 골다공증 환자에게 screw의 해리가 발생할 가능성이 높은 것으로 예측되었다. 따라서 골다공증 환자에게 과도한 운동이 발생하지 않도록 하기 위해서 시술 후 세심한 주의와 halo 같은 견고한 정형술이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, interest in the safety of Self-driving has been increasing. Self-driving have been studied and developed by many universities, research centers, car companies, and companies of other industries around the world since the middle 1980s. In this study, we propose the automatic extraction method of the threatening obstacle on the Road for the Self-driving. A threatening obstacle is defined in this study as a comparatively large object at center of the image. First of all, an input image and its decreased resolution images are segmented. Segmented areas are classified as the outer or the inner area. The outer area is adjacent to boundaries of the image and the other is not. Each area is merged with its neighbors when adjacent areas are included by a same area in the decreased resolution image. The Obstacle area and Non Obstacle area are selected from the inner area and outer area respectively. Obstacle areas are the representative areas for the obstacle and are selected by using the information about the area size and location. The Obstacle area and Non Obstacle area consist of the threatening obstacle on the road. Through experiments, we expect that the proposed method will be able to reduce accidents and casualties in Self-driving.

최근 기후변화로 인해 예측이 어려운 국지성 호우가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 국지성 호우는 대량의 홍수를 일으켜 유송잡물을 동반한 흐름을 야기할 수 있다. 대량의 유송잡물이 하상에 퇴적되면 통수능을 저하시키기도 하며 식생효과와 마찬가지로 유목주변으로 유속이 증가하면서 세굴현상이 발생하게 되는데, 이는 하상저하를 일으키며 수공구조물의 안정성에 지속적으로 피해를 줄 수 있다. 기후변화는 또한 강우패턴을 변화시켜 식생의 성장과 활착에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구지역인 내성천 회룡포의 경우, 2015년 대가뭄 발생 이후 식생활착으로 인해 식생대 면적이 증가하고 잇는 상황이다. 이는 연구지역의 흐름과 사주교란 및 하상변동에도 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단되며, 특히 식생의 증가는 유송잡물의 증가를 야기 할 수 있기 때문에 식생과 유송잡물의 영향이 하천에 미치는 영향을 예측하는 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2차원 흐름모형인 Nays2D와 입자법기반의 유목동역학 모형을 활용하여 식생과 유송잡물이 하상변동에 미치는영향에 대한 수치실험을 수행하고 결과를 분석하였다. 여기서, 식생의 경우, 식생성장모형을 적용하여 시간에 따라 식생이 성장하여 항력이 증가하는 것으로 가정하였으며 유송잡물의 경우, 하상에 퇴적되는 유송잡물의 개수와 면적만큼 항력이 증가하는 것으로 가정하였다. 흐름의 경계 조건은 일반화된 부정류 수문곡선을 입력하였으며 초기 하도의 형상은 일정한 경사를 가지는 평지로 가정하여 부정류에 따라 하상변동이 발생하는 것으로 모의하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 유송잡물보다 식생대 번성이 하상변동에 상대적으로 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 유송잡물의 경우 국부적으로 퇴적 분포되어 그 주변으로 침식을 일으키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 유송잡물은 하안의 얕은수역에서 주로 퇴적되었다. 본 연구는 만곡부 하상변동에 대해 식생과 유송잡물을 고려하여 예측모의를 수행한 사례로서, 식생과 유송잡물이 흐름과 하상변동에 미치는 영향을 이해하는데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다. 또한 이는 추후에 식생을 고려하는 하천관리방안을 수립 시, 식생과 유송잡물의 영향을 물리적으로 설명할 수 있는 근거자료로 제시할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Limit analysis of upper and lower bound solutions has been well developed to provide the stability numbers for shallow tunnels in cohesive soil ($c_u$ material), cohesive-frictional soil (c'-$\phi$' material) and cohesionless soil ($\phi$'material). However, an extension of these methods to relatively deep circular tunnels in the cohesionless soil has been explored rarely to date. For this reason, the closed-form analytical solutions including lower bound solution based on the stress discontinuity concept and upper bound solution based on the kinematically admissible failure mechanism were proposed for assessing tunnel collapse load in this study. Consequently, the tunnel collapse load from those solutions was compared with both the finite element analysis and the previous analytical bound solutions and shown to be in good agreement with the FE results, in particular with the FE soil elements located on the horizontal tunnel axis.

It was used boundary element method(BEM) and analysed axisymmetric problem to solve hydraulic cylinder for large vessel acting uniform internal pressure(25N/m super(2)) within elastic limit. This paper was utilized the carbon steel tubes for machine structural purposed model, inner radius was 150mm and outer radius was 250mm, axial length was semi-infinite and the isoparametric element was used. The important results obtained in this study were summarized as follows. Radial, tangential and shearing stress occured the maximum stresses(48, -20 and 34MPa) at the inner radius and the minimum stresses(32, -4 and 18MPa) at the outer radius of the hydraulic cylinder for large vessel. But negative signs have meaning compressive stress and stress diminution ratio was about 0.15MPa/mm. The use of isoparametric element raised accuracy and the increment of input data lessened the error in internal point but computer run-time was increased. The double node was improved the internal solutions to settle discontinuity at corner and the double exponential formula lessened error of stress value at boundary neighborhood. And then coincidence between the analytical and exact results is found to be fairly good, showing that the proposed analytical by BEM is reliable.

Three deconvolution methods were applied to stacked seismic data obtained to investigate gas-hydrates in the Ulleung Basin, East Sea: (1) minimum-phase spiking deconvolution, (2) minimum-phase spiking deconvolution using an averaged wavelet from all traces, and (3) deterministic deconvolution using a wavelet with phases computed from well-logs. We analyzed the resolving property of these methods for lithological boundaries. The first deconvolution method increases temporal resolution but decreases lateral continuity. The second method shows, in an overall sense, similar results to the spiking deconvolution using a minimum phase wavelet for each trace; however, it results in a more consistent and continuous bottom-simulating reflector (BSR) and better resolved sub-BSR reflectors. The results from the third method reveal more detailed internal structures of debris-flow deposits and increased continuity of reflectors; in addition, the seafloor reflection and the BSR appear to have changed to a zero-phase waveform. These properties help more precisely estimate the distribution and reserves of gas hydrates in the exploration area by improving analysis of facies and amplitude of the BSR.

Curved beam structures are generally used as components in structures such as railroad bridges and vehicles. The stability analysis of curved beams has been studied by a large number of researchers. Due to the complexities of structural components, it is difficult to obtain an analytical solution for any boundary conditions. In order to overcome these difficulties, the differential quadrature method (DQM) has been applied for a large number of cases. In this study, DQM was used to solve the complicated partial differential equations for buckling analysis of curved beams. The governing differential equation was deduced and solved for beams subjected to uniformly distributed radial loads. Critical loads were calculated with various opening angles, boundary conditions, and parameters. The results of the DQM were compared with exact solutions for available cases, and the DQM gave outstanding accuracy even when only a small number of grid points was used. Critical loads were also calculated for the in-plane inextensional buckling of the asymmetric curved beams, and two theories were compared. The study of a beam with extensibility of the arch axis shows that the effects on the critical loads are significant.

In the field of architecture, retractable devices capable of responding flexibly to the environment have been applied widely to large structures. Among these devices, the aesthetically pleasing retractable membrane is lightweight so that the membrane can be opened easily using only a traction device. On the other hand, because the towed membrane moves as it is connected to the main cable by a trolley, the number of trolleys needed increases in proportion to the roof's area. This study proposes an optimal model for an open-type trolley (OTT), which is used widely in these devices, using topology optimization. The analysis used the ANSYS program. A new model was proposed based on the results and reviewed through the feedback. Through this process, it was possible to develop a prototype with increased durability and reduced weight. For OTT, optimization was performed based on static analysis and the boundary conditions, so three prototypes were designed. A comparison of the proposed trolley with the conventional one under the same conditions revealed an up to 71.04% decrease in volume while the yield-strength reached 8.67 to 11.43%. In conclusion, the optimal trolley proposed was found to be reliable in terms of economy and stability.

The reinforced earth wall, which is able to improve the strength of soil highly, is required in case of supporting high surcharge load such as high speed rail way, high embankment road, and massive reinforced earth wall in a mountainous area. And also, it is continuously required that the method is able to minimize the amount of excavated soil on account of environmental issue, boundary of land, etc., on excavation site. However, because the required length of reinforcement should be $60{\sim}80%$ of the height of reinforced earth wall for general reinforced earth wall, in fact the reinforced earth wall is hardly applied on the site of cut slope. In this paper we studied the design and construction cases of hybrid reinforcement retaining wall system combined with steel strips and soil nails, connecting the reinforced earth wall reinforcements to the slope stability reinforcements (soil nails) to ensure sufficient resistance by means of reducing the length of reinforcements of reinforced earth wall. And the feasibility of hybrid reinforcement retaining wall system, suggested by real data measured on site, is also discussed.

This study examined the structural stability of nonlocal magneto-electro-elastic nano plates on elastic foundations using first-order shear deformation theory. Navier's method has been used to solve the buckling loads for all edges simply supported boundary conditions. On the other hand, biaxial buckling analysis of nano-plates has beenrarely studied. According to the Maxwell equation and the magneto-electro boundary condition, the change inthe magnetic and electric potential along the thickness direction of the magneto-electro-elastic nano plate wasdetermined. To reformulate the elasticity theory of the magneto- electro-elastic nano plate, the differential constitutive equation of Eringen was used and the governing equation of the nonlocal elasticity theory was studied using variational theory. The effects of the elastic foundation arebased on Pasternak's assumption. The relationship between nonlocal theory and local theory was analyzed through calculation results. In addition, structural stability problems were investigated according to the electric and magnetic potentials, nonlocal parameters, elastic foundation parameters, and side-to-thickness ratio. The results of the analysis revealedthe effects of the magnetic and electric potential. These calculations can be used to compare future research on new material structures made of magneto-electro-elastic materials.
