Information of the lateral velocity and the sideslip angle in a vehicle is very useful in many active vehicle safety applications such as yaw stability control and rollover prevention. Because cost-effective sensors to measure the lateral velocity and the sideslip angle are not available, reliable algorithms to estimation them are necessary. In this paper, a sliding mode observer is designed to estimate the lateral velocity. The side slip angle is estimated using the recursive least square with the disturbance observer and the pseudo integral. The estimated parameters from the combined estimation method are updated recursively to minimize the discrepancy between the model and the physical plant, and any possible effects caused by disturbances. The performance of the proposed monitoring system is evaluated through simulations and experiments.

Satisfying the large car impact condition of the high level SB5-B for "SMART Highway" longitudinal barriers, the possibility of increase of the small car impact velocity from 120km/h to 130km/h was investigated. Through computer simulation using input parameters calibrated to full-scale crash test results, various longitudinal semi-rigid barrier models were improved such that for the small car impact speed of 120km/h the change of longitudinal and transverse velocities of the impact vehicle can satisfy the THIV limit. The barrier model determined through this process satisfied the performance assessment criteria for SB5-B impact conditions. Varying the wing angle of slip block-outs of the passed barrier model, the possibility of increase of the small car impact velocity was investigated by FEA and a full-scale crash test was conducted. It has been shown that the possibility to increase the small car impact speed to 130km/h is high if the test facility condition for 130km/h impact velocity is better equipped.

The vibration of an axially moving string is studied when the string has geometric non-linearity and translating acceleration. Based upon the von karman strain theory, the equations of motion are derived considering the longitudinal and transverse deflection. The equation for the longitudinal vibration is linear and uncoupled, while the equation for the transverse vibration is non-linear and coupled between the longitudinal and transverse deflections. These equations are discretized by using the Galerkin approximation after they are transformed into the variational equations, i.e. the weak forms so that the admissible and comparison functions can be used for the bases of the longitudinal and transverse deflections respectively. With the discretized nonlinear equations, the time responses are investigated by using the generalized-$\alpha$ method.

Assuming Gaussian distribution of the density difference between a turbulent jet river plume and its ambient saline water, a hydrodynamic solution for the lateral spreading of a river plume is developed. Two advantages can be expected from the assumption we made. Firstly, we need not consider mixing processes in the plume in dealing with this Problem. Secondly, by Putting pressure gradients which can be obtained from the density distribution, into the equation of motion, we can solve them easily. We compared the analytic solution with the fold data of the Nakdong river plume and found reasonably good correspondence.

This paper describes an Integrate Dynamic Control system with Brake System (IDCB) for SUV vehicles. The system was developed to stabilize the lateral dynamics, maintain the steerability and improve the ride comfort on various roads. A fuzzy logic control method is used to design the IDCB. The performance of the IDCB is validated under different road and driving conditions. The results show that the IDCB tracks the reference yaw rate under all tested conditions; in addition, it reduces the body slip angle and roll angle. When a vehicle runs on a split-${\mu}$ road and a brake input is applied, the IDCB virtually eliminates the lateral dynamics. Thus, the IDCB improves the lateral stability, preserves the steerability and enhances the ride comfort of vehicles.

Recently, a new PSC (Prestressed Concrete) bridge system, which is supported by Concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (CFFRP) strut, has been introduced. This bridge is able to reduce self-weight and increase the width of traditional PSC bridges. However, no relevant research has been reported on local behavior of CFFRP strut in the bridge system. The purpose of this study is to investigate local behavior of CFFRP struts using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. Field tests were performed to examine the hoop strains and longitudinal strains of the FRP strut under various lateral positions and velocities of a test truck. It has been observed that CFFRP strut is under compression regardless of vehicle speed and location. However, the CFFRP strut is sensitive to the lateral position of vehicles in terms of strain magnitude. Results also indicated that the FBG sensors can faithfully record the hoop and longitudinal strains of the FRP strut without electro-magnetic interference.

현재 대부분 하천관리의 흐름해석에서 주가 되었던 1차원 분석은 하천 단면에 따른 횡적인 수면차, 유속분포를 분석할 수 없다는 단점을 가지고 있으며, 특히 유량 및 유속이 급속도로 늘어나는 홍수시에는 그 오차가 더욱 커질 수 있다. 반면에 2차원 모형의 흐름해석은 사행하천의 흐름 특성과 만곡부에서의 종 횡방향 수면경사 및 양안의 수면차와 합류지점의 횡방향 흐름 등의 영향을 고려할 수 있으며 1차원 해석과는 달리 전 단면에 걸쳐 유속 및 수위 분포를 나타낼 수 있어 실제흐름에 가까운 수리량을 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구를 위해 적용된 해석모형인 SMS는 미국 Brigham Young 대학의 환경모형연구실과 미공병단(USACE)의 수로실험국(WES) 등에서 개발한 프로그램으로서 RMA2, RMA4, SED2D 모형 등으로 구성되어 있다. 각각의 모형은 수리 동역학적 해석, 오염물 이송확산 해석, 유사의 이송 및 퇴적 해석이 가능하며 이 중 RMA2를 이용한 2차원 흐름해석을 통하여 보다 적합한 하천관리에 이용가능하도록 하고자 한다. 연구대상 지역은 제주도 한천 하류부로서 제주도 하천 특성상 평상시 건천의 상태를 이루고 있으나 태풍 및 집중호우시 홍수유출이 발생하여 수위가 급격하게 상승하는 양상을 보인다. 대표적인 예로 태풍 '나리'시 최대 일강우량 420mm로 인한 인근 지역에 0.5 ~ 1.5m의 침수흔적을 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2011년 최고수위를 기록한 태풍 '무이파'를 대상으로 하였으며 대상지역의 Kalesto를 이용한 수위-유속 자료를 이용하여 산출된 유량을 경계조건으로 사용하였고 격자망 형성을 위한 지형 데이터는 지형도 및 측량자료를 이용하여 구축하였다. 사용된 대표적인 매개변수는 하상의 조도계수를 나타내는 Manning의 n값과 유체의 밀도, 속도구배, 구조 등 여러 가지의 유체조건에 따라 변하는 성질인 와점성계수(eddy viscosity)로 요약할 수 있으며 Manning의 n값은 하천설계기준에 따른 하천기본계획의 조도계수를 사용하였고 와점성계수는 적합한 흐름 분포를 결정하기 위해 흐름이 안정될 때까지 변화시켜 해석을 시행하였다. 해석결과 만곡부에서는 급한 흐름을 보이고 있으며 최대하폭 구간에서는 완만한 흐름이 나타나 사행하천의 흐름특성과 횡적인 하천단면에 따른 변화, 하상고 차이로 인한 유속분포를 확인할 수 있으며 이는 보다 유용한 하천관리에 이용가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The local hydraulic characteristics in a single phase flow of a 6$\times$6 rod bundle with neighboring different spacer grids were measured by using a LDV(Laser Doppler Velocimeter) system. 6$\times$6 rod bundle is formed by two 3$\times$6 rod bundles with different spacer grids. The objective of this study in a rod bundle is to investigate the thermal-hydraulic interactions between different spacer grids with different configurations and resistance. By using a LDV system, the velocity and turbulent intensity in axial and horizontal directions ore measured. Pressure drop measurements ore also performed to evaluate the loss coefficient for the spacer grid and the friction factor for rod bundles. Implications concerning thermal mining due to spacer grids were investigated based on the hydraulic test results. Swirl factor, which is assumed as a qualitative criteria for DNB(departure from nucleate boiling), was defined and estimated from the horizontal velocity result.

A program for predicting rate of penetration of sheet pile using cone penetration test results was developed. Especially, energy consumption occurring from lateral vibration of sheet pile was estimated quantitatively in order to overcome overprediction of rate of penetration for shallow depths of pile installation. Penetration rates of pile calculated from developed program were compared with those of field test. Predicted rates of pile penetration for the depths to 12m were $47%{\sim}120%$ of the measured values. As pile penetration depth decreases, the difference between the predicted rate of penetration and the measured rate of penetration decreases.
