Water hammering created by an unsteady flow in pipeline systems can cause excessive change in pressure, vibration, and noise. So, water hammer analysis is very important for limiting the damage caused to pipeline, pump and valve systems by operation conditions. On the other hand, water hammer arrester has been manufactured and used in order to minimize the damage caused by water hammering phenomenon in domestic, and it has been produced and installed as the low cost-oriented because of being no separate standard in the meanwhile. Therefore, our research team investigated about the standardization of water hammer arrester performance through the various methods, such as test methods for verification of one pipe, assuming the occurrence of water hammer in a water-based fire extinguishing system, separated for opening impact pressure and shut off impact pressure and for a branch pipe in order to make guideline for water hammer arrester performance. And finally, verified the performance of the water hammer pressure as the simple mechanical way using the U-shaped pipe and a test weight, so KFI standards for the water hammer arrester could be established.

In the equipment industry such as chemical plants, high temperature, high pressure, and toxic fluids move between various facilities through piping. The movement and damage of pipes due to changes in the surrounding environment such as temperature changes, vibrations, earthquakes, and ground subsidence often lead to major accidents involving personal injury. In order to prevent such an accident, various types of expansion joints are used to absorb and supplement various shocks applied to the pipe to prevent accidents in advance. Therefore, it is very important to measure the deformation of the used expansion joint and predict its lifespan to prevent a major accident. In this paper, the deformation of the expansion joint was understood as a kind of motion, and the change was measured using a Hall Effect Sensor and a 9-Axis Sensor. In addition, we studied a system that can predict the deformation of expansion joints by collecting and analyzing the measured data using a general-purpose microcomputer (Arduino Board) and C language.

In general, environment-induced vibration propagates from the center of source to the destination through ground. In fact, the mechanism of wave propagation is highly dependent on the ground conditions, and various methods to protect structures from such a ground vibration have been proposed. The method of wall barrier has been frequently used to cut off ground vibration effectively. However, the capability of wall barrier may be affected by various factors like constituent material of it. Therefore, it is important to figure out appropriate material for the wall barrier. This study is focused on the effect of EPS on the vibration protection. Centrifuge model tests were performed. Two types of models such as a cylindrical and a rectangular wall were used. For the cylindrical type of wall, installation depth was changed, while the length of the wall varied fur the rectangular type to figure out the capability of vibration protection.

In this paper, we propose a method to improve texture recognition performance from haptic acceleration signals representing the texture characteristics of object surface materials by using a Conformer model that combines the advantages of a convolutional neural network and a transformer. In the proposed method, three-axis acceleration signals generated by impact sound and vibration are combined into one-dimensional acceleration data while a person contacts the surface of the object materials using a tool such as a stylus , and the logarithmic Mel-spectrogram is extracted from the haptic acceleration signal similar to the audio signal. Then, Conformer is applied to the extracted the logarithmic Mel-spectrogram to learn main local and global frequency features in recognizing the texture of various object materials. Experiments on the Lehrstuhl für Medientechnik (LMT) haptic texture dataset consisting of 60 materials to evaluate the performance of the proposed model showed that the proposed method can effectively recognize the texture of the object surface material better than the existing methods.

포트홀은 주행하는 자동차와 접촉이 이뤄지면 차체나 운전자에게 충격을 주고 제어를 잃게 하여 도로 위 안전을 위협할 수 있다. 포트홀의 검출을 위한 국내 동향으로는 진동을 이용한 방식과 신고시스템 이용한 방식과 영상 인식을 기반한 방식이 있다. 이 중 영상 인식 기반 방식은 보급이 쉽고 비용이 저렴하나, 컴퓨터 비전 알고리즘은 영상의 품질에 따라 정확도가 달라지는 문제가 있었다. 이를 보완하기 위해 영상 인식 기반의 딥러닝 모델을 사용한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 사전 학습된 딥러닝 모델의 정확도 향상을 위한 Feature Level Ensemble 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 사전 학습된 CNN 모델 중 Test 데이터의 정확도 기준 Top-3 모델을 선정하여 각 딥러닝 모델의 Feature Map을 Concatenate하고 이를 Fully-Connected(FC) Layer로 입력하여 구현한다. Feature Level Ensemble 기법이 적용된 딥러닝 모델은 평균 대비 3.76%의 정확도 향상을 보였으며, Top-1 모델인 ShuffleNet보다 0.94%의 정확도 향상을 보였다. 결론적으로 본 논문에서 제안된 기법은 사전 학습된 모델들을 이용하여 각 모델의 다양한 특징을 통해 기존 모델 대비 정확도의 향상을 이룰 수 있었다.

Because maglev trains have a propulsion and absorption force without contact with the rails, they can drive safely at high-speed with little oscillation. Recently, test model of a maglev propulsion train was produced and operated, and has since been chosen as a national growth industry in South Korea; there have been many studies and considerable investment in these fields. This study examined the dynamic responses due to bridge-maglev train interaction and basic material to design bridges for maglev trains travelling at high-speed. Depending on the major factors affecting the dynamic effects, the scope of this study was restricted to the relationship between dynamic responses. A concrete box girder was chosen as a bridge model and injured train and rail types in domestic production were selected as the moving train load and guideway analysis model, respectively. From the analysis results, the natural frequency of a bridge for a maglev train, which has a deflection limit L/2000, was higher than those of bridges for general trains. The dynamic responses of the girder of the bridge for a maglev train showed a substantial increase in proportion to the velocities of the moving train like other general bridge cases. Maximum dynamic response of the girder is shown at a moving velocity of 240km/h and increased with increasing moving velocity of train. These results can be used to design a bridge for maglev propulsion trains and provide the basic data to confirm the validity and verification of the design code.

Flash memory has been attracting attention as the next mass storage media for mobile computing systems such as notebook computers and UMPC(Ultra Mobile PC)s due to its low power consumption, high shock and vibration resistance, and small size. A storage system with flash memory excels in random read, sequential read, and sequential write. However, it comes short in random write because of flash memory's physical inability to overwrite data, unless first erased. To overcome this shortcoming, we propose an SSD(Solid State Disk) architecture with two novel features. First, we utilize non-volatile FRAM(Ferroelectric RAM) in conjunction with NAND flash memory, and produce a synergy of FRAM's fast access speed and ability to overwrite, and NAND flash memory's low and affordable price. Second, the architecture categorizes host write requests into small random writes and large sequential writes, and processes them with two different buffer management, optimized for each type of write request. This scheme has been implemented into an SSD prototype and evaluated with a standard PC environment benchmark. The result reveals that our architecture outperforms conventional HDD and other commercial SSDs by more than three times in the throughput for random access workloads.

MIRIS(Multi-purpose Infra-Red Imaging System) is the main payload of the STSAT-3(Korea Science and Technology Satellite. 3), which is being developed by KASI(Korea Astronomy & Space Institute). EOC(Earth Observation Camera), which is one of two infrared cameras in MIRIS, is the camera for observing infrared rays from the Earth in the range of $3{\sim}5{\mu}m$. The optical system of the EOC is a Cassegrain prescription with aspheric primary and secondary mirrors, and its aperture is 100mm. A ring type flexure supports the EOC primary mirror with pre-loading in order to withstand expected load due to the shock and vibration from the launcher. Here we attempt to use the same mechanism by which a retainer supports the lens. Through opto-mechanical analysis it was confirmed that the EOC primary mirror is effectively supported.
