It is well-known that loop effect of the stage-discharge relationship is formulated based on many field observations especially for the sand rivers. Theoretical understandings of the loop effect for the sand rivers have been widely provided, based on the facts that it is driven by the flood wave propagation and bed form changes over the given flood period. However, very few theoretical studies or field observations associated with loop-rating curves in the gravel or rock-bed mountain streams have been attempted so far, due particularly to the difficulties in the accurate discharge measurement during the flood in such field conditions. The present paper aims to report a unique loop-rating curve measured at a gravel and rock-bed mountain stream based on the flood discharge observation acquired during the typhoon, Muifa that passed nearby Jeju Island in summer of 2011. As velocity instrumentation, a non-intrusive Surface Velocity Doppler Radar to be suitable for the flood discharge measurement was utilized, and discharges were consecutively measured for every hour. Interestingly, the authors found that the hysteresis of the loop-rating curve was adverse compared to the typical trend of the sand bed streams, which means that the discharge of the rising limb is smaller than the falling limb at the same stage. We carefully speculate that the adverse trend of the loop-rating curve in the gravel bed was caused by the bed resistance change that works differently from the sand bed case.

Detection ranges of acoustic instruments mainly used for fisheries and their research are derived as the range bordered by a certain signal-to-noise ration (SNR) thershold. The SNR is depicted by several factors on transmitting and receiving, sound propagation, scattering by objects, and mainly self-ship noise. The detection ranges are shown for several fisheries instrument, such as echo sounder, quantiative echo sounder, and bio-telemetry system. The results can be used for designing the instruments, examining the capability of user's own instruments, and interpreting obtained data or echograms. Increasing transmitting power is not as effective for high frequencies as for low frequencies to increase the detection range. Comparison of volume backscattering strengths obtained by the quantitative echo sounder at several frequencies should be done within the same detection range. By applying the concept of the detection range for the bio-telemetry receiver beams, the number of the beams and the beamwidths can be determined.

A high-precision force-feedback 3-axes accelerometer developed in Korea has been investigated and studied for the verification of feasibility in the computational analysis and health monitoring of civil infrastructures. Through a series of experiment, the nonlinearity, bandwidth, low-frequency signal measurement accuracy and bias characteristics of the accelerometer has been thoroughly compared to those of two accelerometers produced by two market leaders in domestic and global accelerometer market. The experiment results shows that the overall measurement performance of the accelerometer has superiority over the performance of the two accelerometers from global market leader companies. Especially, the accelerometer shows a better low-frequency signal measurement accuracy and constant bias characteristic, which are mostly required in the computational analysis and the long-term health monitoring of large-scale civil infrastructures.

When Coming alongside the shallow water or narrow pier, they apply sea area with small mooring facilities and Floating matter because of the diversity of ships and limitation and effective in cutting expenses. However, when ships, applying Small mooring facilities and Floating matter, come alongside, there can be some impulse by waves between the Floating things and ships which possibly leads to mass disaster. Therefore, there should be forecasts and analysis of the movement caused by waves. On this Study, it introduces the composition and principles of the developed system provides the base of the movement traits through measuring 3-D exercise data and acceleration of the Mooring and Floating matters.

배전 계통 산업 현장에서는 스위칭 소자 및 제어장치, 전 자기기들이 한 대 맞물려 증가하고 있다. 또한, 스마트 그리드(Smart Grid) 및 마이크로 그리드(Micro Grid)의 개념이 도입되면서 분산 전원 이 널리 보급되고 있다. 이로 인해 현장에서는 많은 전기전자기기들이 설치되어 운영 중에 있고, 이것은 noise 및 고조파와 같은 왜란이 발생 되는 원인을 초래하고 있다. 왜란은 여러 전기 전자 장비들의 데이터 취득 왜곡 현상을 발생시키고, 이러한 데이터 손실로 인해 기기들의 오동작 및 사고를 발생시킨다. 대표적인 왜란으로는 common mode noise 같은 대지(大地) 등의 기준점과 각 신호선 사이에 나타나는 노이즈가 있으며, 선로 및 장비 특성에 따라 기수 및 우수 고조파가 있다. 이러한 왜란들은 전자기기들의 오동작 및 신호의 부 정확성으로 제품 신뢰성에 문제를 초래한다. 특히 데이터 계측 실패 및 Serial 통신을 함에 있어서 신호 손실을 발생시켜 데이터 변형을 초래한다. 이로 인해 배전선로에 위치한 전자기기들이 왜곡된 데이터로 동작을 하게 되고 이는 곧 선로의 사고를 발생시키게 된다. 따라서 왜란들을 사전에 방지하여 기기 오동작 및 부동작을 예방하기 위해서 산업계에서는 왜란에 대한 인식을 지속적으로 증가시키고 있다. 실제 현장에서도 이와 같은 왜란으로 인해 기기 오동작을 하는 경우가 많으며 이를 해결하기 위한 여러 신호처리 기법을 적용하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 여러 종류의 샘플링 데이터 량을 생성할 수 있도록 샘플링 속도를 다변환(Multi-interchange)하고 각 샘플링 속도에 맞게 계측된 샘플링 데이터를 DFT 신호 처리하여 왜란으로부터 강건한 계통 주파수를 계측한다. 또한, 주파수 별 DFT 값을 Table화 하여 계통 주파수를 찾아낸다.

The fact that material degradation can be evaluated by measuring nonlinear acoustic effect has been proposed by previous studies. The most conventional method to measure nonlinear acoustic effect is to measure the absolute magnitude of fundamental and $2^{nd}$ order harmonic frequency component in the propagated ultrasonic wave. For this aim, power spectral analysis technique has been used widely. However, the power spectral analysis has fatal disadvantage that the gaussian additive noise superimposed in the wave signal remains in the power spectrum domain. Moreover, the magnitude of $2^{nd}$ order harmonic frequency component generated by nonlinear effect is so small that it may be suppressed by the noise remained in the power spectrum. In order to overcome this problem, this paper proposes an alternative method using bispectrum analysis, which can reduce the effect of addictive gaussian noise and. the nonlinear parameter can be obtained more stably. Simulations showed that the proposed method can obtain the value of nonlinear parameter near to the true value in the case of low SNR signal. Also, in order to confirm the usefulness of our method in actual case, we compared the nonlinear parameter obtained by using both of power spectral and bispectral analysis for several specimen intentionally degraded by fatigue load.

GPS로 대표되는 위성항법시스템(GNSS : Global Navigation Satellite System)은 지구 주위를 돌면서 연속적으로 항법신호를 보내고 있다. 그 중 지구표면으로부터 반사되는 항법신호를 수신하고 해석함으로써 지구표면에 관한 정보를 취득할 수가 있다. GPS로 대표되는 항법신호는 L밴드를 사용하기 때문에 토양수분의 변화 등에 대한 반사강도의 감도가 비교적 높다고 알려져 있으며, 토양수분 측정 등에 사용할 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라 경량화, 소형화하기 쉬운 점, 능동적 마이크로웨이브 리모트센싱시스템(Active Microwave Remote Sensing System)과 달리 스스로 신호를 발사하지 않기 때문에 관측의 스텔스성(Stealth)dl 뛰어난 점 등의 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 향후 10년 이내에 준천정위성(QZSS), Galileo, COMPAS, IRNSS 등 많은 위성항법시스템이 본격 운용되어 GPS와 함께 120기 정도의 항법위성이 항법신호를 송신할 예정이므로 이용 가능성은 크게 늘어날 것으로 기대된다.한편, 항법위성을 이용한 바이스테이틱 리모트센싱은 반사파의 강도가 상당히 미약하기 때문에 정량적 계측모델의 구축은 미미한 상태이다. 즉, 지상 타워에서의 관측, 항공기에서의 관측, 소형 위성에서의 관측 등이 수행되고 있으나, 타워관측과 같이 지상의 거의 동일한 장소를 계속적으로 관측하는 경우를 제외한 기존의 연구에서는 토지의 피복상황이나 토양수분 등의 상관관계를 제시하는 수준으로써 정량적인 계측방법은 아직 확립되어 있지 않다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구에서는 GPS위성으로부터의 항법신호를 이용하여 지구표면에 관한 정보를 얻는 바이스테이틱 리모트센싱(Bi-static Remote Sensing) 기술을 바탕으로 육지면과 해면의 판별에 신호특성이 어떻게 유효한가를 실험적으로 밝혔다. 이러한 기술은 토양수분 측정 등 수자 원인자를 추출하는데 유용할 뿐만 아니라 수면의 고도 측정, 해상풍 산출 등에도 응용 가능하다.

This paper proposes an acoustical inversion method using cepstrum analysis of underwater ship noise. Through the cepstrum analysis, multipath structure can be extracted from the recorded ship noise. The multipath structure comes from interferences between a direct arrival and multiple reflections from the sea surface and the bottom. The acoustic inversion is the optimization process to find the best parameters which show good correlation between cepstrums of the measured signal and the replica. The inversion method was applied to the underwater ship radiated noise data measured at Straits of Korea in order to estimate the acoustic center of the ship and the hydrophone position. The inversion results showed good agreement with the measured information.
