The collision behaviors of the tripod and jacket structures, which are considered as support structures for offshore wind towers at the Southwest sea of Korea, were compared by nonlinear dynamic analysis. These structures, designed for the 3 MW capacity of the wind towers, were modeled using shell elements with nonlinear behaviors, and the tower structure including the nacelle, was modeled by beam and mass elements with elastic materials. The mass of the tripod structure was approximately 1.66 times that of the jacket structure. A barge and commercial ship were modeled as the collision vessel. To consider the tidal conditions in the region, the collision levels were varied from -3.5 m to 3.5 m of the mean sea level. In addition, the collision behaviors were evaluated as increasing the minimum collision energy at the collision speed (=2.6 m/s) of each vessel by four times, respectively. Accordingly, the plastic energy dissipation ratios of the vessel were increased as the stiffness of collision region. The deformations in the wind tower occurred from vibration to collapse of conditions. The tripod structure demonstrated more collision resistance than the jacket structure. This is considered to be due to the concentrated centralized rigidity and amount of steel utilized.

본 연구에서는 열처리(Thermal Dewetting Process)와 빗각 증착(Oblique angle deposition)을 이용하여 비주기 서브파장 구조물을 마이크로 렌즈 형태의 유리 기판 상부에 제작하였다. 먼저 $2{\times}2cm2$ 크기의 유리 기판에 기존 리소그래피 공정으로 원기둥 형태의 감광액을 형성한다. 이후 Hot-plate로 $180^{\circ}C$에서 90초간 열을 가해 지름이 $20{\mu}m$인 반구형태로 변형시킨 뒤 반응성이온식각 공정을 진행하여 마이크로 렌즈를 제작한다. 렌즈의 표면에 나방 눈 구조를 형성하기 위해 전자빔 증착으로 15nm의 은 박막을 쌓은 뒤 $500^{\circ}C$에서 1분간 열처리 공정을 진행하였다. 열이 가해졌을 때 은 박막은 표면자유에너지를 최소화하기 위해 나노 크기의 덩어리진 입자 형태로 변화한다. 여기서 형성되는 나노입자의 크기가 렌즈 표면 중심에서 가장자리로 갈수록 작아진다는 것을 주사전자현미경을 통해 확인하였다. 증착 각도가 증가할수록 열처리 공정 후의 은 나노입자의 크기가 점점 작아진다는 것을 검증하기 위해 은 박막의 증착 각도를 $0^{\circ}$, $35^{\circ}$, $55^{\circ}$, $70^{\circ}$로 증착 후 열처리 공정을 진행하여 확인하였다. 비스듬하게 증착되어 형성된 박막은 다공형태로 낮은 밀도를 가지는데 이는 박막 두께 감소를 일으킨다. 따라서 증착 각도가 증가할수록 열처리 공정 후의 은 나노입자의 크기는 점점 작아진다. 이후 은 나노입자를 마스크로 하여 다시 반응성이온식각 공정을 진행하였으며 식각 후 나머지 은 나노입자들은 HNO3용액에서 1분간 처리하여 제거하였다. 제작된 구조물의 평균 직경과 크기는 각각 ~220nm 및 ~250nm인 것으로 확인하였다. 위와 같은 공정을 통해 다양한 크기를 가진 비주기 서브파장 구조물을 제작할 수 있다. 구조물의 주기가 파장 길이보다 짧을 경우 분산이 최소화되며 넓은 파장 대역에서 무반사 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 이 공정은 마스크를 통한 리소그래피의 한계를 극복할 수 있으며 여러 곡면형 표면에 적용가능한 장점이 있다. 또한 프리즘, 렌즈, 광섬유와 같은 광소자의 광투과율을 향상시키는데 이용될 수 있다.

정식기는 주로 노외에서 사용되므로 사용자에 따라 극심한 작업환경 하에 놓일 수 있다. 사용 중 정식기 호퍼에 토양이나 자갈, 돌 등에 의해 반복적인 하중이 가해지거나 순간적인 충격하중이 가해져 취약부가 파손될 가능성이 있으므로, 토양과 직접 맞닿는 삽날부의 경우 내구성을 고려한 설계/제작이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 보행형 반자동 정식기 개발에서 고추묘와 같은 초장이 긴 작물의 묘를 효과적으로 이식할 수 있도록 개선된 삽날에 대해 기존 삽날과 강도 및 강성을 비교하고, 그 결과가 삽날의 내구성에 미칠 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 실험에는 양날 개폐 방식의 기존 및 개선삽날 2종이 사용되었으며, 각각 3회씩 정적 강도를 평가하였다. 실제 정식기 사용시 하중이 가해지는 방향은 삽날에 수직한 방향의 압축하중으로 이를 모사하여 일정변위 속도로 삽날에 하중을 가하였으며, 시험 진행시 DAQ 시스템을 통해 실시간으로 하중 및 변위 데이터를 저장하여 시험 종료 후 해당 데이터를 이용하여 $P-{\delta}$ 선도를 도출하였다. 시험 결과 기존삽날의 평균 최대하중이 개선삽날에 비해 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 최대 하중이 나타나는 지점의 변위의 경우, 기존삽날이 개선삽날에 비해 짧게 나타났다. 정적 강도측면에서 개선삽날이 기존삽날에 비해 최대 강도가 낮은 것으로 판단할 수 있으나, 실제 호퍼의 내구성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 주요 인자는 반복적으로 가해지는 비교적 낮은 수준의 충격하중으로 볼 수 있다. 이러한 관점에서 볼 때 일정 수준 이상의 강도를 가지면서, 기존삽날에 비해 낮은 강성을 가지는 개선삽날이 변형을 통한 충격에너지 흡수로 오히려 삽날 조립체(호퍼)의 내구성 측면에서 유리할 수 있다. 따라서 향후에는 기존 및 개선삽날을 적용한 호퍼에 대해 피로시험을 수행하여 관련 내용을 실험적으로 검증하고자 한다.

Environmentally friendly water dispersion polyurethanes containing fluorine were prepared with a fluorinated polyol having $62\%$ of fluorine $(Fluorolink^{(R)}\;M_n\;1000)$. In order to control the fluorine contents of the synthesized polyurethanes polytetramethylene glycol (PTMG2000) and $Fluorolink^{(R)}$ were mixed at assigned ratios and reacted with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) as a diisocyanate used. Introducing hydrophilic anion to the polymer chain was achieved by applying dimethyl propionic acid (DMPA). The ionic groups were neutralized with triethyl amine (TEA) before dispersion into water. Chain extension was executed by adding ethylene diamine at the final stage. Mechanical properties of the polymers showed that modulus increased with increasing $Fluorolink^{(R)}$ content. Surface energy values obtained from contact angle measurement decreased with increasing $Fluorolink^{(R)}$ content up to $20\%$. We expect that the synthesized polyurethanes present reliable effect from the fluorine atoms incorporated even at a small amount of $Fluorolink^{(R)}$.

Ion energy is one of the crucial property in thin film deposition by internal ICP assisted I-PVD. As ion energy is determined by the difference between the plasma potential and the substrate bias potential, ICP excitation frequency was tested with medium frequency of 4 MHz and two types of tuning circuits, alternate and floating LC network with a biasing resistor, were tested. The results showed that plasma potential was less than 5 V in a range of Ar pressures, 5mTorr to 30 mTorr, at 4 MHz RF 600 W and 60 V of maximum RF antenna voltage was maintained either at RF input or output terminal. By proper control of RLC circuit installed after after RF antenna, 50V of RF induced voltage on RF antenna was obtained at 500W input power. The total impedance of RF antenna and plasma was around 10$\Omega$, and minimum RF voltage was obtained with a condition of lowest reactance at most 0.05$\Omega$.

The resistance curves (R-curves) for 381 m crack extension of CLWL-DCB specimens had been determined. The average velocities of the crack extension measured with strain gages were 0.70 and 55 ㎜/sec. The measured rotation angle of the notch faces showed the existence of the singularity at least before 171 and 93 mm crack extensions for the 0.70 and 55 ㎜/sec crack velocities, respectively. The maximum slopes of the R-curves occurred between 25 and 89 ㎜ crack extensions for 0.70 ㎜/sec crack velocity and between 51 and 127 ㎜ crack extensions for 55 ㎜/sec crack velocity During the maximum slopes of the R-curves, the micro-crack localization can be expected, and faster crack velocity may form longer micro-cracking and micro-crack localizing zones. The fracture resistance of 0.70 ㎜/sec crack velocity reached a roughly constant maximum value of 143 N/m at 152 ㎜ crack extension, while that of 55 ㎜/sec crack velocity increased continuously to 245 N/m at 254 ㎜ crack extension and then decreased to the value of 0.70 ㎜/sec crack velocity. The R-curve of 55 ㎜/sec crack velocity was similar to that of the small size three-point bend test, and it showed that small size specimen or fast crack velocity could cause more brittle behavior.

In this study, a sulfonated poly(arylene ether ketone) block copolymer was prepared from hydrophilic oligomer and hydrophobic oligomer. The structure of the prepared membrane was characterized by $^1H$-NMR, FT-IR and GPC. The $M_w$(weight-average molecular weights) of the polymer was $209,700g\;mol^{-1}$ and the molecular weight distribution($M_w/M_n$) of 1.25 was obtained. The prepared membrane showed excellent thermal stability with gradual weight loss up to $200^{\circ}C$. The proton conductivity of SPAEK block copolymer reached the maximum of $9.0mS\;cm^{-1}$ at $90^{\circ}C$ under 100% relative humidity (RH). From the observed results, it is necessary to do more aggressive attempt to study the possibility of application as an ion-conductive composite electrolyte.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the formation and development processes of beach resort by fabric construction in a island environment. The results are as follows. (1) The research area(Tong-ri beach, Bokil-myon, Chollanam-do)has been transformed to belch by sedimentary environmental change since latter half of 1800's. (2) The mean slope of beach face is 0.96°, and the difference of attitude between beach and mud flat face is 75cm. (3) The mean particle size of beach surface sediment is 3.53$\Phi$. This value is very finer than that of any other beach in Korea peninsula. But its value is coarser than that of mud flat surface sediment. (4) The particle size distribution of core sediment is become changed to fine particle in 70cm depth. This value is corresponded to difference of altitude between beach face and mud flat face. (5) The analysis of aerial photographs after 1970 indicates that sedimentation process was not brisked since 1970's. Consequently, the research ares has been developed by sedimentary environmental change for sea-level rise effect and wave height energy rise effect.

The predictability of winter storm waves using KMA's operational wind forecasts has been studied to predict wind waves and swells in the East coast of Korea using SWAN. The nested model were employed along the East coast of Korea to simulate the wave transformation in the coastal area and wave dissipation term of whitecapping is optimized to improve swell prediction accuracy. In this study, KMA's operational meteorological models (RDAPS and LDAPS) are used as input wind fields. In order to evaluate model accuracy, we also simulate wind waves and swells using ECMWF reanalysis and KIOST WRF wind and they are compared with the KMA's operational wave model and the wave measurement data on the offshore and onshore stations. As a result, it has the lowest RMSE and the highest correlation coefficient in the onshore when the input wind fields are KMA's operational meteorological forecasts. In the offshore, all of the simulate results shows good agreements with similar error statistics. It means that it is very feasible to use SWAN model with the modified whitecapping factor and KMA's operational meteorological forecasts for predicting the wind waves and swells in the East coast of Korea.

A graph cuts method has recently attracted a lot of attentions for image segmentation, as it can globally minimize energy functions composed of data term that reflects how each pixel fits into prior information for each class and smoothness term that penalizes discontinuities between neighboring pixels. In previous approaches to graph cuts-based automatic image segmentation, GMM(Gaussian mixture models) is generally used, and means and covariance matrixes calculated by EM algorithm were used as prior information for each cluster. However, it is practicable only for clusters with a hyper-spherical or hyper-ellipsoidal shape, as the cluster was represented based on the covariance matrix centered on the mean. For arbitrary-shaped clusters, this paper proposes graph cuts-based image segmentation using mean shift analysis. As a prior information to estimate the data term, we use the set of mean trajectories toward each mode from initial means randomly selected in $L^*u^*{\upsilon}^*$ color space. Since the mean shift procedure requires many computational times, we transform features in continuous feature space into 3D discrete grid, and use 3D kernel based on the first moment in the grid, which are needed to move the means to modes. In the experiments, we investigate the problems of mean shift-based and normalized cuts-based image segmentation methods that are recently popular methods, and the proposed method showed better performance than previous two methods and graph cuts-based automatic image segmentation using GMM on Berkeley segmentation dataset.
