Mechanical properties of degraded materials must be measured for evaluating the integrity of the facilities operating at high temperature. In fact it is complicated to obtain the different degraded specimens from an operating facility. Specimens of 1Cr-0.5Mo steel prepared by the isothermal heat treatment at $700^{\circ}C$ were tested, which has been widely used as tubes for heat exchangers and as plates for pressure vessels. The magnetic properties and Rockwell hardness (HRB) were measured at room temperature. The peak interval of Barkhausen noise envelope (PIBNE), coercivity, and hardness decreased with the increase of degradation. The magnetic and mechanical softening of matrix is likely to govern the properties of the specimen more than the hardening of grain boundary by carbide precipitations. The degradation of test material may be determined by the linear correlation of PIBNE and HRB. Degradation of 1Cr-0.5Mo steel could well be nondestructively evaluated by PIBNE measured with surface type probe.

MC-CDMA(Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access) 시스템에서 전송 신호의 피크 전력 대 평균 전력(Peak-to-Average Power: PAP)율을 낮추는 방안을 제시한다. 확산 코드에 의해 결정된 각 부 캐리어의 위상 오프셋은 전송 신호의 복소 포락선 형성에 영향을 주게 되어 전송 신호의 PAP 율을 결정하게 된다. 따라서 각 부 캐리어의 위상 오프셋을 적절히 조정함으로써 PAP율을 낮출수 있다. 본 논문에서는 PAP 율을 감소시키는 부 캐리어 위상 오프셋 코드의 한 예를 제시하며, 모의 실험을 통하여 전송신호의 크기 분포 특성과 PAP 율의 감소를 확인한다.

STC(Sinusoidal Transform Coding) 방식은 음성신호의 주파수 영역에서 스펙트럼 피크치들을 정현파로 모델링하여 합성하는 방식을 말한다. 저전송률 STC 방식에서는 전송되는 정보량을 줄이기 위해 스펙트럼 피크를 대신해 음성신호의 스펙트럼 포락선 정보와, 피치정보를 이용하여 얻어지는 고조파 성분들을 정현파로 모델링하여 음성을 합성한다. 본 논문에서는 음성신호의 정현파 모델에 기반하여 2.4kbps 전송속도를 갖는 음성부호화 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 실험결과로 합성음의 파형과 스펙트럼 특성, 위상특성, 그리고 MOS(Mean Opinion Score) 테스트를 이용한 합성음의 음질을 비교/분석 하였다.

The tire damage classification method is researched by periodicity detection of ultrasonic envelope signals to occur at the driving vehicle tire. Because periodic signals is generated by rotations of the damaged tire, it should convert to pulse for using the density function. After time intervals of pulses are represented by the density function, the dominant periodicity is detected. The threshold to make a pulse is calculated by moving average of envelope signals. The result of time density function in case of one damage material, the first peak's time is equals to tire's rotation period, 162ms and 102ms, about the speed of 50km/h and 80km/h. In case of more than one damage material, the sum of each peak's time is equals to tire's rotation period about the speed.

One directional and biaxial tension tests of 13 reinforced concrete panels were conducted to derive a constitutive law of concrete. Based on the test results, a model equation is derived for the stress-strain relationship of concrete in tension. Main test variables are reinforcement ratio and the load ratio applied in two directions. In addition a failure envelope of concrete in tension-tension region is suggested based on the initial crack occurrence. Test results show that the concrete carries substantial tensile stress even after cracking occurrence. However, the application of this proposed stress-strain relationship for concrete is limited to the case where the direction of reinforcement coincides with the direction of the applied principal stresses.

An envelope elimination and restoration transmitter that uses a tri-level envelope encoding scheme is presented for improving the efficiency and linearity of the system. The proposed structure amplifies the same magnitude signal regardless of the input peak-to-average power ratio and reduces the quantization noise by spreading out the noise to the out-of-band frequency, resulting in the enhancement of power efficiency. An improved linearity is also obtained by providing a new timing mismatch calibration technique between the envelope and phase signal. Implementation in a 130 nm CMOS process, transmitter measurements on a 20-MHz long-term evolution input signal show an error vector magnitude of 3.7 % and an adjacent channel leakage ratio of 37.5 dBc at 2.13 GHz carrier frequency.

Rock fracture mechanics has been widely applied to blasting, hydraulic fracturing, rock slope and many other practical problems in rock engineering. But a measuring method for the fracture toughness of rock, one of the mort important parameters in fracture mechanics as an intrinsic property of rock, has not been yet well established. To obtain mode I rock fracture toughness, the more favorable disc-typed specimens such as CCNBD, SCB, chevron-notched SCB and BDT were used in this study. Rock fracture toughness under mixed-mode and mode II conditions was measured by using the STCA applied to the CCNBD specimen. Size effects such as specimen thickness, diameter and notch length on fracture toughness were investigated. From the mixed-mode results, fracture envelops were obtained by applying various regression curves. The mixed-mode results were also compared with three mixed-mode failure criteria. In each fracture toughness test, acoustic emission was measured to get the data for determining the load levels of different crack propagation patterns.

Intermodulation distortion degrades the S/N(signal-to-noise) of the original signal and also affects the adjacent channels. Intermodulation distortion is mainly caused by the nonlinear characteristics of the power amplifier. If the power amplifier with nonlinear characteristics has a memory effect, the intermodulation distortions occurred in the power amplifier are generated in various and complex forms. The predistorter is used as a way to improve intermodulation distortions. In order to efficiently utilize the performance of the predistorter, the memory effect of the power amplifier must be reduced. In this paper, we describe the design method of bias circuit to reduce the memory effect in power amplifiers. To reduce the memory effect, the bias circuit must have a high impedance for the signal and a low impedance for the envelope(modulating signal) and the second harmonic component of the signal. To verify the performance of the bias circuit designed considering the memory effect, a power amplifier operating at 170 ~ 220MHz was designed and implemented. The designed bias circuit has a large impedance in the operating frequency band and low impedance in the envelope signal and the second harmonic of the signal. As a result of the performance measurement, it was found that the asymmetric intermodulation distortion component is improved by 3.7dB.
