To reduce the computational cost required for assembling vessel fragments using surface geometry, this paper proposes a fast axis estimation method. Using circular constraint of pottery and local planar patch assumption, it finds the axis of the symmetry. First, the circular constraint on each cylinder is used. A circular symmetric pot can be thought of unions of many cylinders with different radii. It selects one arbitrary point on the pot fragment surface and searches a path where a circumference exists on that point. The variance of curvature will be calculated along the path and the path with the minimum variance will be selected. The symmetric axis will pass through the center of that circle. Second, the planar patch assumption and profile curve is used. The surface of fragment is divided into small patches and each patch is assumed as plane. The surface normal of each patch will intersects the axis in 3D space since each planar patch faces the center of the pot. A histogram method and minimization of the profile curve error are utilized to find the probability distribution of the axis location. Experimental results demonstrate the improvement in speed and robustness of the algorithms.

In eddy current testing(ECT), differential probes have been frequently used since they .an reduce the number of parameters that influence ECT signals. However, differential signal is actually the difference of the two coils' impedance so that signal prediction and interpretation are not easy, On the other hand, absolute coil signal is rather straightforward to predict and analyze. Therefore, combined use of the two types of signals would increase the test reliability. In this paper, absolute coil signals from Inconel plate and tubes are predicted by the finite element analysis and efforts of lift-off, fill-factor, conductivity, operating frequency, test specimen thickness, inner diameter defects, and outer diameter defects are investigated. As a result, various impedance plane diagrams are drawn and analyzed. Significant practical knowldege about absolute signals is accumulated and similar characteristics of the two types of signal could be understood. Finally, slope angle versus defect depth calibration corves are prepared for three different frequencies.

To simulate two-dimensional plane-strain conditions in the laboratory model test, the side frictional resistance between the soil and thick glass or plastic sheet of the soil container should be reduced as much as possible. However, in fact this side friction cannot be removed completely. In this paper, the ground model simulated as a multi-sized aluminium rod mixture was introduced to get rid of the side frictional resistance and applied to the laboratory shear box test. In addition, an application of the close range photogrammetric technique to the shear box test was validated. As a result, it was found that a mean value of dilation angle from the close range photogrammetry was close to the dilation angle defined by the curve of shear strain vs. volumetric strain.

This study has been developed the way that evaluates the road safety using the speed of individual vehicles at curve sections in 2-lane rural highways. For this study, we developed variation of operational speed for the individual vehicle using the speed of vehicles in 96points of selected roads. Drawing out of variation of operational speed for the individual vehicle, estimation models for speed variation of individual vehicles considering horizontal alignments and vertical alignments of the roads have been developed. These models presents the way to evaluate road safety out of the operational speed and acceleration of individual vehicles. Considering safety and based on the results of these study above, some regular spots are ranked by "good", "fair", "bad". The results that this study showed in this paper could be useful to derive some particular spots that needs to be improve in terms of safety.

For membrane structure, there are three main steps in design and construction, which are form finding, statistical load analysis, and cutting patterning. Unlike the first two stages, the step of cutting pattern involves the translation of a double-curved surface in 3D space into a 2D plane with minimal error. For economic reasons, the seam lines of generated cutting patterns rely greatly on the geodesic line. Generally, as searching regions of the seam line are plane elements in the step of shape analysis, the seam line is not a smooth curve, but an irregularly divided straight line. So, it is how we make an irregularly divided straight line a smooth curve that defines the quality of the pattern. Accordingly, in this paper, we analyzed interpolation schemes using spline, and apply these methods to cutting pattern generation on the curved surface. To generate the pattern, three types of spline functions were used, i.e., cubic spline function, B-spline, and least-square spline approximation, and simple model and the catenary-shaped membrane was adopted to examine the result of generation. The result of comparing the approximation curves by the number of elements and the number of extracted nodes of simple model revealed that the seam line for less number of extracted nodes with large number of elements were more efficient, and the least-square spline approximation provided smoother seam line than other methods.

Recently, CSB(Cable-Stayed Bridge) have been attempted to be atypical forms for landscape elements in Korea. CSB with new geometry need to analyze their characteristics clearly to ensure structural safety. This study's bridge is the S-shaped curved pedestrian CSB that has a girder with S-shape plane curve and reverse triangular truss cross section, inclined independent pylon, modified Fan type main cable and vertical backstay cable. Curved CSB can have excessive lateral displacement and moment when the tension is adjusted, focusing only on longitudinal behavior, such as a straight CSB. In order to analyze the effect of the cable on the lateral behavior of bridges, the cable is divided into two groups according to the lateral displacement direction of the pylon due to tension. The influence of the combination ratio of GR1 and GR2 on the girder, bearing, pylon, and vertical anchor cable was analyzed. When the tension applied to the bridge is 1.0GR1 plus 1.0GR2, In the combination of 1.2GR1 plus 0.8GR2, the stress on the left and right upper member of the truss girder and the deviation of the both were minimized. In addition, the horizontal force of the bearing, the lateral displacement and moment of the pylon, and the tension of the vertical backstay cable also decreased. This study is expected to be used as basic data for determination of tension of CSB with similar geometry.

Ring-type steel fibers (RSFs) of the closed circular shape, have different resistance mechanisms other than straight steel fibers. RSFs also maintain the same value of the orientation factor for the plane enclosed by the fiber ring perimeter. In this research, comparative studies were performed for the panels reinforced with RSFs and with straight steel fibers of $15kg/m^3$ and $30kg/m^3$, respectively. Resisting mechanisms of RSFs were identified and higher toughness indices were experimentally observed for the concrete panels reinforced with RSFs than with straight steel fibers. Orientation factor for the RSF was suggested. It was found that RSFs were more effective in increasing toughness for the panel specimens with relatively thinner thickness than beam specimens.

목적 : 방사선 수술의 목적은 병소에 최대한의 방사선을 조사하고, 주위의 정상조직에는 가능한 적은 양의 방사선을 조사하는 것이다. 이러한 목적을 만족시키기 위해 방사선 수술계획자는 계획시 isocenter의 위치와 개수, 콜리메이터 크기를 변화시켜 가며, 주어진 병소에 맞는 선량분포를 획득해 방사선 수술효과를 최대화시키는 수술계획을 수립한다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 모양의 병소에 대해 자동적으로 isocenter를 위치시켜 수술 계획시 도움이 될 수 있도록 임의의 병소 모델들에 대해 위의 변수들을 변화시켜 가며 얻어지는 선량분포를 비교 분석하였다. 방법 : 본 연구에서는 임의로 정의한 계산 영역내에 다면체를 병소로 가정하여 연구를 수행하였다. 방사선 수술시 하나의 isocenter에서 얻어지는 선량분포는 구형으로 근사할 수 있으므로 하나의 isocenter를 구로 근사하여, 각 병소 모델 내에 콜리메이터 크기를 변화해가며 가능한 많은 영역을 포함하도록 isocenter를 배치시켰다. 이후 구형선량모델을 사용해 선량분포를 획득하여 병소와 정상조직간의 DVH(Dose Volume histogram)와 각 병소 모델에 대한 통일 평면상의 선량분포를 비교 분석하였다. 결과 ; 임의의 다양한 종양 모델에 대한 50%의 등선량 곡선내에서 세 가지의 빔관련 변수들을 변화시킨 결과, 종양이 없는 정상 조직에서는 선량분포가 극히 낮았으며, 콜리메이터의 크기에 따른 isocenter 의 개수가 변화하는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 이 경우 한 종양모델에서의 깊이에 따른 선량 분포는 크게 차이가 나지 않았다. 그리고, isocenter의 개수가 변화함에 따라 선량곡선이 변하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론 : 빔관련 변수인 콜리메이터 크기, isocenter 개수, 거리등은 어느 일정 정도를 넘기면, 병소내 선량 분포에 크게 기여하지 않는다는 점을 감안하여 빔관련 변수들을 최소로 고려하므로써 계획시 소모되는 시간 과 노력을 많이 줄일 수 있을 것이며, 또한 각 병소 모델에 대한 최적의 구형선량모델에서 공통적인 규칙성을 찾는 것과 실제 병소의 모양을 간단한 모양으로 근사화 시킨다면 자동적 선량모델을 이루는데 많은 도움이 되고, 이로 인해 효율적인 치료계획작업이 이루어질 것이라 사료된다.

It is necessary to describe the hysteresis characteristics of magnetic material precisely for the analysis or design of system with ferromagnetic materials. Although Preisach model is regarded as the most accurate method to describe the hysteresis characteristics, it is not widely applied to the real systems because of some difficulties. The conventional Preisach model shows the numerical instabilities during the iterative computations because the density distribution obtained from the sets of M-H curves are strongly localized. To remove such numerical instabilities, M-B instead of M-H is adopted as an implementation variable in normal Preisach modeling. The two dimensional computations with hysteresis characteristics by using normal Preisach modeling are tested and the result showed that the modeling by using M-B variables showed better stabilities than M-H variables.

To clarify the effect of forest environmental changes (forest type difference and clearcut) on water storage capacity in soil and stream flow, watershed had been investigated in Pyungchang, Kangwon-Do during 1983∼1993. Hydrological datas such as runoff, monthly ratio of runoff to precipitation, runoff-duration, monthly runoff(by plenty, ordinary, low and scanty duration), total runoff, direct runoff by runoff components, bulk density, porosity, coarse pore, fine pore, permeability and effective water storage were obtained from Backokpo and Yimokjong watersheds. The monthly ratio of runoff to precipitation, runoff and runoff-duration were higher in Yimokiong than in Backokpo due to forest type difference. On compararing pre-treatment with trement period in two experimental watersheds, pre-treatment period was lower than treatment period. Physical properties of soil such as bulk density, porosity, permeability, and effective water storage capacity conditions were better during the pre-trement period than treatment period in the two experiment plots.
