The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) represents the essential constitutive relationship for solving various problems in unsaturated soil mechanics. A reliable and convenient experimental method is needed for the determination of the SWCC in engineering applications. This study introduces and proves that the suction-saturation experimental measurement based on the flow pump technique is a convenient and accurate method for obtaining the SWCC. The flow pump technique provides complete control over the test conditions and is capable of detecting all the important elements of the SWCC. In particular, it is capable of defining continuous drying and wetting curves, the moment of air occlusion, and the hysteretic behavior of unsaturated soils. Not only the optimal testing procedure but also the analysis technique for the flow pump technique has been established in this study. Especially, the method of the suction drop measurement was developed to measure the SWCC. This method is a convenient and time saving method without losing accuracy.

This study aims to investigate how the university educational programs about quadratic curves are operated in relation to the high school curriculum and what their effects may be, and the degree of understanding for the prospective and current teachers of the mathematical content knowledge about quadratic curves. To solve this research questions, we randomly selected three universities and one high school. Then we investigated the curricula of each department of mathematics education, compared them with the high school curricula, and conducted surveys of the professors' and students' conception on how much mathematical content knowledge they need to know about quadratic curves. The study resulted in the following conclusions. First, the curriculum on the subject of quadratic curves in the college of education is closely connected to the high school programs. This study's results showed that the college of education's curriculum includes a series of lectures regarding quadratic curves, and that within them, the mathematical content about quadratic curves associated with high school mathematics was thoroughly covered. Also, a large number of students who attended the lecture reported a significant increase in their understanding in regards to the quadratic curves. Second, it is strongly recommended to strengthen the connection between the college of education's curriculum and the actual high school education field. The prospective teachers think that there is a substantial need to learn about the quadratic curves because it is closely connected with the high school curriculum. But they find it challenging to put what they were taught into practical use in the high school education field, and feel that an improvement in this area is much needed. Third, it is necessary to promote, encourage and support the voluntary efforts to expand the range of the content knowledge in quadratic curves to cover the academic content associated with the high school mathematics.

레이더강우관측의 수문학적 적용성을 검토하고 개념적 유출모형과 분포형 유출모형에서 지점강수 및 레이더강수를 적용하여 매개변수의 민감도 및 수문곡선변화를 관찰하였다. 레이더강수의 계통적오차는 총강수량비를 이용하여 보정하였고, 이결과 레이더강수가 지점강수에 비하여 첨두강수를 더욱 양호하게 표현하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 지점강수와 레이더강수를 이용하여 용담댐 상류유역에 대한 유출해석을 수행하였다. 개념적모형으로는 저류함수모형을, 분포형모형으로는 실시간 홍수 조절을 목적으로 미국 Oklahoma대학에서 개발된 $V\;flo^{TM}$모형을 이용하여 테스트하였다. 결과 개념적 모형과 분포형모형 모두에서 경험식으로부터 구한 매개변수의 초기값을 이용한 수문곡선은 관측수문 곡선과 상당한 차이를 보이고 있었으나 분포형 수문곡선의 경우 천천상류지점의 수문곡선은 매개변수의 추가적 보정이 필요없을 정도로 매개변수의 초기값이 수문곡선을 잘 모의 하고 있었다. 이는 매우 고무적인 결과로서 실시간 홍수모형으로서 요구되는 중요한 특성과 동시에 물리적 기반의 분포모형의 가장 큰 장점일 수 있는 사상독립적 유역매개변수군을 구축하는데 중요한 단서가 될 것으로 보여진다.

Performance test was conducted for an oxidizer pump and a fuel pump for a 7 ton class rocket engine, by using water. The pumps were driven by an electric motor. The hydrodynamic performance and the suction performance were measured at flow ratio of the design and off-design conditions. Head-flow curve, efficiency-flow curve, and head-cavitation number curve were obtained. It is confirmed that the pumps can satisfy the design requirements of hydrodynamic performance in terms of the head and the efficiency. The pumps also satisfied the design requirements of suction performance.

This paper describes a smooth surface interpolating method of ship hull using a three-dimensional currie net that comes from the mesh curve fairing process. Geometric continuity(($GC^1$) is preserved across the boundary curve between patches. The three-dimensional curve net can have nonrectangular topologies, such as triangular and pentagonal topology. Among the boundary curve interpolation methods, Hermite blended Coons patch, Convex combination, and Gregory patch interpolation method are used to generate the ship hull surface. To check the fairness of the surface, the numerical method of surface/surface intersection problem is adopted. An application to an actual ship hull is given as an example.

The seriousness of a traffic accident appears relatively higher on the curve sections compared with the straight sections due to a change in speed caused by a change in the driver's sight. In particular, the visual distortion phenomenon, one of the dangerous factors taking place on the curve sections, appears different according to the road's geometric design. Although it is a genuinely principal design factor which should be necessarily considered in designing a road, the previous researches on establishing the design standards for it have been insufficiently conducted. As a result, the establishment of the road design standards for the curve sections considering the sight distortion phenomenon is desperately required. This research examined the previous researches on the driver's behaviors, the driver's sight characteristics and the perceived curve radius on the curve sections, and developed the theoretical model of perceived curve radius to which a mathematical technique is applied in consideration of the visual distortion phenomenon on the two-lane curve sections in a local area. In addition, after the theoretical visual distortion was calculated on the basis of the theoretical model of perceived curve radius, the range of error on the theoretical recognition radius model formula was verified through comparing it with the previous researches' experiential visual distortion level and analyzing both of them. As a result, it was observed that as the curve radius practically increases in the theoretical recognition curve radius, the range of error tends to go down, which reflects well the characteristics of the curve sections on the road. Based on this research, it is expected that this research will be helpful to eliminate the safety defects when designing the curve sections and contribute to develop the road design standards considering human factors in the future.

This paper presents the development of certain highly efficient and accurate method for computing tangent curves for three-dimensional vector fields. Unlike conventional methods, such as Runge-Kutta method, for computing tangent curves which produce only approximations, the method developed herein produces exact values on the tangent curves based upon piecewise linear variation over a tetrahedral domain in 3D. This new method assumes that the vector field is piecewise linearly defined over a tetrahedron in 3D domain. It is also required to decompose the hexahedral cell into five or six tetrahedral cells for three-dimensional vector fields. The critical points can be easily found by solving a simple linear system for each tetrahedron. This method is to find exit points by producing a sequence of points on the curve with the computation of each subsequent point based on the previous. Because points on the tangent curves are calculated by the explicit solution for each tetrahedron, this new method provides correct topology in visualizing 3D vector fields.

Road design should be conformed to the expectancy of drivers. The alignment such as long tangent followed by the sharp horizontal curve should be avoided for the road design consistency. Currently, operating speed profile model is generally used to check the consistency of the successive road alignments. In this model, the hypothesis about the drivers' behaviour on the long tangent followed by the sharp horizontal curve is also included. This study compares the hypothesized drivers' behaviour in the existing operating speed profile model with the actual drivers' behaviour observed at the two lane rural roads. In addition to this, comparison between the acceleration for the vehicles approaching and departing horizontal curves suggested by the foreign research and the value observed at this study was made, From this study, it was concluded that the hypothesis in the existing model was well representing the actual drivers' behaviour. The deceleration for vehicles approaching the horizontal curves was ranged $0.39{\sim}1.06m/s^2$ with the average of $0.66m/s^2$. The average acceleration for the vehicles departing horizontal curves was $0.22m/s^2$.

다리우스 풍력터빈의 속도설정을 터빈이 만드는 토크와 발전기가 요구하는 토크의 \평형을 통해 찾아 낼 수 있음을 검토하였다. 풍속에 따른 속도-토크곡선에서 일정충력곡선이 만나는 점이 터빈의 동작점으로 되며 이는 안정 및 불안정이 될 수도 있다. 풍속과 출력이 각각 변할 때 이 동작점이 어떻게 이동되는가 하는 점을 제시하였다. 또한 터빈의 속도에 관한 제어 블록선도를 제시하여 그 출력변화에 따른 속도변화의 전달함수를 알아내고 이의 형태는 1차 시지연 함수로 유도된다.

본 논문은 CNC 밀링머신을 이용한 절삭가공 등 2축시스템의 위치제어 시스템을 대상으로 한다. 기존의 제어방식은 크게 독립축제어와 상호결합제어로 분류할 수 있다. 독립축제어는 두 축의 통합된 운동을 각각의 독립된 축에 대한 추적제어를 수행하여 원하는 공구경로의 위치 정밀성을 향상시키고자 하는 것이고, 상호결합제어는 지령경로에 대한 추적성능보다는 현재의 윤곽오차를 감소시키는 방향으로 제어입력을 인가하여 가공윤곽의 오차를 감소시키는데 주목적이 있다. 또한 최근의 작업공정의 고속화 경향은 윤곽오차를 감소시키면서도 추적성능이 우수한 제어방식을 요구하고 있다.(중략)
