It is implicated in the current road design manual that design speed is well representing the operating speed of drivers. On the contrary, the disparity between the design speed and operating speed means that current road design cannot guarantee the safety and comfort of driving. In this context, operating speed was observed at the two lane rural roadways to find out the relation of operating speed and design speed. In addition to this, the friction factor from supply and demand which was derived from the operating speed was compared in terms of the dynamics in driving safety factor. It was concluded that the actual speed was consistently exceeding the design speed at the horizontal curves having the radius less than or equal to 200 m. Similarly, the demanded side friction was also consistently exceeding the supplied side friction at the horizontal curves having the radius less than or equal to 200 m and the amount of difference was also inversely proportional to the radius of the horizontal curves.

In this study, an equation is proposed to estimate the limit velocity for lateral stable bed in a curved channel stream. The stable bed on lateral direction is satisfied when there is no more deformation occurs on the transverse bed slope and non-scouring condition in a bend. A theoretical equation for limit velocity is derived using a transverse bed slope model. So, the limit velocity has its theoretical background in the equilibrium of two forces, lateral shear force at the bed due to longitudinal flow and the corresponding lateral bed shear force. To verify the equation, data from four natural river channels were used. There is good agreement between the calculated values using this equation and the measured values. The corrections in equation was found to be correlated with the averaged particle Froude number.

In this paper we propose a method for measuring the shear modulus of an ultrasound soft tissue phantom using an acoustic radiation force. The proposed method quantitatively determines the shear modulus based on the rise time of a displacement induced by an acoustic radiation force at the focal point of a focused ultrasound beam. The shear wave speed and shear modulus obtained from the proposed method and a shear wave propagation method were compared to verify the validity of the proposed method. In the shear wave propagation method, the shear modulus is first computed by measuring the propagating speed of a shear wave induced in a phantom by a limited-diffraction transmit field, and then was compared to that obtained with the proposed method in an ultrasound data acquisition system calibrated based on the first computed shear modulus. The relative errors between the two methods were found to be 4% for shear wave speed and less than 9% for shear modulus, confirming the usefulness of the proposed method.

The roll damping characteristics of the three models of a 3ton class fishing vessel, that is the bare hull, hull with bilge keels, and hull with bilge keels and a central wing are investigated by the free roll tests in head waves in a towing tank with the variations of the forward speed, initial angle and OG. The wave length variations are also included. The experimental results are compared with the numerical results of mathematical modellings by the energy method for these three models and the energy dissipation patterns are also compared. The roll damping speed increases, the effect of the waves on the roll damping of the models with the additional devices is negligible due to the much increased damping caused by the lift increase.

The roll damping characteristics of the three models of a 3 ton class fishing vessel such as the bare hull, hull with bilge keels, and hull with bilge keels and a central wing are investigated by the free roll tests in calm water in a towing tank with the variations of the forward speed, initial angle and OG. The experimental results are compared with the numerical results of mathematical modellings by the energy method for these three models and the energy dissipation patterns are also compared.

According to the present highway design criteria, there are minimum standards which re ade from special design speeds. If some highways are satisfied the standards, it regards he highway as safety. In reality, however, most drivers drive a car at different speed compared with design speed. It is very dangerous for drivers especially at transition sections between curve and horizontal curve sections. Hence, this study calculated the rate of changing and horizontal acceleration at each section. Moreover, this study evaluated thesafety of design at curve transition sections and then calculated lateral acceleration and curve radii. This study found the minimum standards which are using as basic safety standards are not appropriate for measuring driver's safety.

유역형상의 변화에 따라서 이동강우가 유출에 미치는 영향을 운동파이론을 적용하여 분석하였으며, 유역형상은 신장형유역과 정4각형유역 및 장방형유역에 대하여 분석하였고, 이동강우 분포형은 균등분포형, 전진형, 지연형, 중앙집중형을 사용하였다. 이와 같은 형상의 유역에 대하여 다양한 이동속도를 가진 강우가 유역내 하천의 상류방향, 하류방향, 횡방향으로 이동할 때 강우분포형에 따르는 유출수문곡선을 모의하여 그 특성을 비교분석하였다. 유출수문곡선의 모양과 첨두시간, 첨두유량은 시간적, 공간적으로 변화하는 강우와 유역형상에 의하여 크게 영향을 받는다. 횡방향의 이동강우에서는 상류방향과 하류방향의 경우보다 더 큰 첨두유량이 발생하며, 하류방향 이동강우의 첨두유량은 상류방향의 첨두유량보다 더 크게 나타났다. 신장형유역의 경우 하류방향 이동강우의 첨두시간은 상류방향과 횡방향의 경우보다 더 지체되며, 수문곡선의 총유출량과 기저시간은 강우속도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다.

Using the simple geometry for the idealized catchment consisting of two plane surfaces and a stream between them, runoff was analysed for the moving storms based on the kinematic wave equation. The storm velocity applied in this study was 0.25∼2.0 m/s moving up, down and cross direction of catchment. Applied rainfall distribution types are uniform, advanced, delayed, intermediate type. The results indicate that the moving storms of cross direction generate the largest peak runoff, and the smallest runoff appears in the case of up stream direction. The sensitivity of runoff to rainfall distribution types decreases as storm velocity increases. It is clear that faster storm velocity generates faster peak time and becomes thin hydrographs rapidly.

자동반송 장비의 주행축에 적용되는 횡자속 선형전동기는 위치제어를 목적으로 한다. 위치제어는 자동 반송 장비가 최소구동시간에 최대의 생산을 할 수 있도록 성능이 우수한 구동프로파일을 사용하게 되는데, 어떤 종류의 구동 프로파일을 적용하느냐에 따라 시스템 전체의 응답 속도는 물론이고 진동과 소음을 최소화하여 전체 시스템의 성능을 좌우하게 된다. 일반적으로 사용되는 사다리꼴 속도 프로파일은 변화가 일정한 가감속 전류를 필요로 하고, 전체 구동시간이 짧아 간단한 시스템에 널리 사용되고 있지만, 가속의 끝점과 감속 구간의 시작점에서 급격한 속도 변화에 따른 져크(Jerk)가 발생하여 기구부에 충격이 가해지며, 이로 인한 진동과 소음을 유발해 순간적으로 큰 동적 에러를 발생시킨다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 부드러운 속도 프로파일을 가지며 운동의 시작점과 끝점에서 '0'의 가속과 져크를 가지는 고차원의 구동 프로파일을 제시하고 횡자속 선형전동기에 적용하여 소음 특성을 분석하였다.

The capsizing speed of an unstable vessel with a lost restoring moment can be understood as a unique response to an accident situation, and is naturally affected by such parameters as moment of inertia, metacentric height, and transverse damping coefficient of the hull in the case of free roll motion. Additionally, it is supposed that the analysis of capsize accidents can be further simplified when a vessel's leaning velocity is shown to be quite low. Therefore, capsize accidents with low leaning speeds are desirably categorized in view of rescuing strategies, as opposed to fast capsize accidents, since the attitude of the declining hull can be properly estimated, which allows rescuers to have more time for helping accident cases. This study focuses on deriving some analytical equations based on the roll decay ratio parameter, which describes how a hull under a low-speed capsize is related to the situational hull characteristics. The suggested equations are applied to a particular ship to disclose the analytical responses from the model ship. It was confirmed that the results show the general characteristics of slow capsizing ships.
