In this paper, an air conditioner peak power control system using electric power line communication has been developed. The air conditioner power control system using RS-485 communication method is hard to install on the existing buildings due to difficulty in cabling, and the system using wireless communication methods has a weak point of not being able to be used in close space, while the developed system has its own advantages of overcoming the above mentioned obstacles. In addition, the system is extended to support not only single-phase electricity system but also three-phase four-wire electricity system, and therefore can be installed anywhere in the domestic environment. The system also has enhanced the ease of deployment, operational stability and economical efficiency by compact circuit design. Considering the current state requiring the energy sayings, the system would greatly contribute to the widespread use of the air conditioner power control system. The superiority in the performance and stability of the system has been proved by the design verification of each component such as remote air conditioner controller, electric power line gateway and so on, and the field test of the whole system.

This study analyzed the effect of team feedback environment on feedback-seeking behavior, and further explored how feedback-seeking behavior led to the feeling of thriving at work and team commitment. Also, we examined the moderating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between team feedback environment and feedback-seeking behavior. Using survey data from 201 workers employed in various industries in Korea, we found that team feedback environment was positively related to feedback-seeking behavior, and that the relationship was moderated by self-efficacy. In addition, feedback-seeking behavior was positively associated with the feeling of thriving at work and team commitment. The result suggests the importance of feedback-seeking behavior in improving performance as well as work attitude and energy. The result also emphasizes the critical role that team feedback environment plays, and the need to find ways to nurture the environment that fosters feedback seeking and giving.

Existing dozer productivity computation models use different input variables, formulas, productivity correction factors, and experimental data source. This paper presents a method that characterizes the productivity outputs obtained by the PLS model and the Caterpillar model that are accepted as industry standards. The method identifies the input variables to be collected from the site, the performance charts to be referenced, and the formulas and implements them in a single computational tool. This study verifies that the PLS model may replace the manual computational process of Caterpillar model by eliminating reliance on graphics manipulation. Replacing the Caterpillar model with the PLS model and implementing the process as a function contributes to assess the productivity of a dozer timely by encouraging to utilize real-time information collected directly from the site. This study allows researchers and practitioners to effectively deal with the values of productivity correction factors collected from the job site and to control the productivity. The practicality and effectiveness of the method have been validated by applying to a project case.

In order to verify the reliability of Dry Test Bench (DTB) used for testing the output energy from ballistic extracorporeal shock wave therapeutic devices, the measurements with DTB were compared with the acoustic energy measured with a Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) for a commercial ballistic ESWT device. It was shown that the mechanical energy detected with DTB had variability maintained within 5 % at the same output power setting and also had a linear correlation (adj. R² = 0.991) with the acoustic energy measured with the LDV for the entire output power settings. Using the correlation between the two methods and the correlation on the acoustic energy measured in between air and water with the LDV, the DTB measurement can be used to estimate the energy flux density in water with an average error of 7.85 % for the entire output power settings of the ballistic shock wave generator considered in the experiment. DTB provides information limited to the output mechanical energy and therefore it is not suitable for testing the various acoustic output parameters required in IEC61846 and IEC63045. However, DTB that is simple in measurement principles and easy to use is expected for manufacturers and clinical users to monitor the performance of ballistic Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) devices.

With recent surge of attention to heating and air conditioning energy consumption, the need for evaluating performance of heating and air conditioning energy is also on the rise. This research aims to propose daily-life based evaluation method as an alternative to existing one, as well as to apply the method in real life to prove its validity. The results are as following. 1) I studied temperatures preferred by persons indoors and appropriate level of temperature, and the results show that properties of such persons such as age is directly linked with pleasantness of the room, but the issue lies with the fact that such properties are not considered in existing performance evaluation of heating and air conditioning. 2) Daily life based evaluation proposed herein reflects such properties of persons indoors. It controls heating / air conditioning devices installed in the test bed with the same size as a real life room to get quantitative and visual performances in our daily life as well as simple temperature information. 3) To verify validity of daily life based evaluation, I conducted different evaluation sessions with and without a blind and also based on ages of persons indoors. Results based on properties of persons showed difference of 77.6%, leading to effective analysis of energy consumption pattern by heating / air conditioning devices. This research takes significance in that it comes with a new performance evaluation method based on real life, and I gather that further studies are required to develop more multilateral performance evaluation in order to verify and improve technology for reduction of energy consumption.

In this study, a nonlinear impact analysis was performed to evaluate the safety and damage of an eco-pillar debris barrier with a hollow cross-section, which was proposed to improve constructability and economic efficiency. The construction of concrete eco-pillar debris barriers has increased recently. However, there are no design standards concerning debris barriers in Korea, and it is difficult to find a study on performance evaluations in extreme environments. Thus, an analysis of an eco-pillar debris barrier was done using the rock impact speed, which was estimated from the debris flow velocity. The diameters of rocks were determined by ETAG 27. The impact position, angles, and rock diameter were considered as variables. A concrete nonlinear material model was applied, and the estimation of damage was done by ABAQUS software. As a result, the damage ratio was found to be less than 1.0 at rock diameters of 0.3 m and 0.5 m, but it was 1.39 when the diameter was 0.7 m. This study could be used as basic data on impact force in the design of the cross section of an eco-pillar debris barrier.

As 3D printing technology is used in the medical field, interest in metal materials is increasing. The Department of Radiation Oncology uses a shielding block to shield the patient's normal tissue from unnecessary exposure during electron beam therapy. However, problems such as handling of heavy metal materials such as lead and cadmium, reproducibility according to skill level and uncertainty of arrangement have been reported. In this study, candidate materials that can be used for metal 3D printing are selected, and the physical properties and radiation dose of each material are analyzed to develop a customized shielding block that can be used in electron beam therapy. As candidate materials, aluminum alloy (d = 2.68 g/cm³), titanium alloy (d = 4.42 g/cm³), and cobalt chromium alloy (d = 8.3 g/cm³) were selected. The thickness of the 95% shielding rate point was derived using the Monte Carlo Simulation with the irradiation surface and 6, 9, 12, and 16 energies. As a result of the simulation, among the metal 3D printing materials, cobalt chromium alloy (d = 8.3 g/cm³) was similar to the existing shielding block (d = 9.4 g/cm³) in shielding thickness for each energy. In a follow-on study, it is necessary to evaluate the usefulness in clinical practice using customized shielding blocks made by metal 3D printing and to verify experiments through various radiation treatment plan conditions.

일반적으로 고무를 비롯한 점탄성재료는 형상 및 크기를 적절히 조절함으로 써 한 방향 이상으로의 원하는 스프링상수를 얻을 수 있으며, 금속에 비하여 내부 마찰에 의한 에너지 발산이 매우 크기 때문에 강제 진동시의 진폭저감 및 충격에 따른 자유진동의 감쇠에 널리 이용되고 있다. 이와 같은 진동감쇠 에 점탄성재료를 효과적으로 사용하기 위해서는 복소탄성계수 즉, 탄성계수 와 손실계수를 정확하게 알아내는 것이 필요하다. 점탄성재료의 복소탄성계 수는 주파수, 온도 및 변형률등에 따라 변하므로 이와 같은 사용조건의 함수 로 구해야 한다. 복소탄성계수를 실험적으로 구하는 방법은 여러가지가 있으 며 실험의 용이성과 관심대상에 따라 적절한 방법을 선택하게 된다. 본 연구 에서는 주파수변화에 따른 복소탄성계수를 임피던스법으로 집중질량 모형을 이용하여 구하려고 할 때, 실험데이타로부터 보다 정확한 결과를 얻기 위하 여 적절한 시편의 크기를 결정하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 시 편내의 파동전달효과와 포아송비와 관련된 양단제한효과 그리고 정하중시 압축변형에 대한 시편의 좌굴등을 고려하여 이론적으로 해석하였으며 실험 적으로도 검증하였다.

An energy method has been used for an elastic formulation of bending vibration and buckling analysis of laminated composite plates on two-parameter elastic foundations. A quasi-elastic method is used for the solution of viscoelastic analysis of the laminated composite plates. The third-order shear deformation theory is applied by using the double-fourier series. To validate the derived equations the obtained displacements for simply supported orthotropic plates on elastic foundations are compared with those of LUSAS program Numerical results of the viscoelastic bending vibration and buckling analysis are presented to show the effects of layup sequence number of layers material anisotropy and shear modulus of foundations.
