In this paper, 3-dimensional electromagnetic numerical analysis is performed about the eddy current(EC) array probe characteristic which is the next generation probe for accurate diagnosis of steam generator(SG) in nuclear power plants(NPPs). ASME(American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Standard and X-probe combo calibration standard tube are selected for acquisition of eddy current testing(ECT) signals and this result of compared with the real test signals for reasonability of result. Based on the analysis result of calibration standard tube, ECT signals that are about the defects of pitting, stress corrosion cracking(SCC), multiple SCC and wear is obtained. Material of specimen was Inconel 600 which is usually used for SG tubes in NPPs. The operation frequency of 300 kHz were used. The signal characteristics could be observed according to the various defects. The results in this paper can be helpful when the ECT signals from EC array probe are evaluated and analyzed.

This paper aims to present accurately analytical modeling method for underpinning using uncertainty reduction, obtained from comparison between numerical analysis and Site measuring data during construction and service stages. Combination of various conditions should be considered for using numerical analysis to predict the behavior of the structure accurately, even though complexly considered the conditions, real construction should be secured the stability by applying the actual instrument measurement data because predicted results are including the considerable uncertainty. In order to secure the stability during construction, the real time instrument measurements together with numerical analysis results performed before construction state are complementary used actively. From the results of this study, the significant settlements are occurred not only in underpass structure of adjacent excavation area but also in the permanent steel pipe structures were analyzed. From the site measurement results of underpass settlement, the settlements are occurred in every stages of excavation, furthermore observed tendency is asymmetrical excavation patterns are settled more than symmetrical excavation patterns. The essential consideration points for numerical analysis are construction sequence, the direction of the existing facilities, the methods of elements modeling, the applied factors for nature of material and different results would be occurred depending upon inputting the above factors.

지하수 해석을 위해 3차원 수치해석 모형이 적용되고 있으나, 다양한 매개변수를 명확히 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 특히, 수리전도도는 지층의 투수성정도를 나타내는 계수로 지하수 분석에 매우 중요한 매개변수이다. 신뢰성의 확보를 위해 양수시험을 통해 산출된 결과를 이용하고 있으나 소수관정의 시험결과를 유역의 대푯값으로 적용하기에 불확실도가 매우 높고, 수위변화가 독특한 지역의 정확한 수리특성을 적용하기에 한계가 있다. 이 연구에서는 수리전도도 특성을 해석하기 위하여 3차원 수치해석모형을 적용하였으며, 모델보정 방법 중 Regularization(정규화)라고 불리는 Pilot point 기법을 사용하였다. 제주도와 같이 수리전도도 값이 지역별로 차이가 크고 동일 유역 내에도 다른 지질구조를 보이는 등 동일 매질에서 동일 투수성을 보이지 않는 다양함으로 실측값들을 적용하기에 어려운 곳에서 정규화라는 보정방법은 최적화된 방법이다. 지하수위는 중제주유역 내 위치한 12개소 수위관측정의 2016년 연평균수위를 적용하였다. 미계측지역은 제주도 등수위선자료를 이용하여 DEM을 구축하였으며, 임의지점 17개소를 선정하여 대표수위로 적용하였다. 중제주유역의 평균 수리전도도는 82.90 m/day로 분석되었으며, 유역의 동측 하류부는 최대 1,745 m/day로 비교적 큰 결과가 산출되었다. 유역의 중앙에 위치하는 OR관측정을 기준으로 동 서지역의 지하수위를 검토한 결과 서측은 지형구배에 따라 지하수위가 형성하고 있으나, 동측의 경우 상 하류의 표고차가 30m이상 발생되지만 지하수위는 유사한 형태를 보이고 있다. 지하수 흐름에 해석되는 Darcy의 방정식은 수리전도도와 동수경사는 반비례관계를 나타내며, 이 이론에 의해 상 하류 지하수위가 유사하게 형성되는 동측지역은 국부적으로 수리전도도가 높게 형성되는 것으로 확인되었다. 실무에서는 유역경계에 따라 평균화된 매개변수가 적용되므로 명확한 지하수 해석이 어렵고, 수리전도도와 같이 지역적 편차가 심한 매개변수는 다양한 연구를 통해 적용성검토가 수행되어야 한다.

A general purpose of 4-node co-rotational resultant shell element is developed for the solution of nonlinear problems of reinforced concrete, steel and fiber-reinforced composite structures. The formulation of the geometrical stiffness presented here is defined on the mid-surface by using the second order kinematic relations and is efficient for analyzing thick plates and shells by incorporating bending moment and transverse shear resultant forces. The present element is free of shear locking behavior by using the ANS (Assumed Natural Strain) method such that the element performs very well as thin shells. Inelastic behaviour of concrete material is based on the plasticity with strain hardening and elasto-plastic fracture model. The plasticity of steel is based on Von-Mises Yield and Ivanov Yield criteria with strain hardening. The transverse shear stiffness of laminate composite is defined by an equilibrium approach instead of using the shear correction factor. The proposed formulation is computationally efficient and versitile for most civil engineering application and the test results showed good agreement.

An analytical method to predict the time dependent flexural behavior of composite girder is presented based on sectional analysis. The time dependent constitutive relation accounting for the early-age concrete properties including maturing of elastic modulus, creep and shrinkage is derived in an incremental format by the first order Taylor series expansion. The sectional analysis calculates the axial and curvature strains based on the force and moment equilibriums. The deflection curve of the girder approximated by the quadratic polynomial function is calculated by applying to the proper boundary conditions in the consecutive segments. Numerical applications are made for the 3-span double composite steel box girder which is a composite bridge girder filled with concrete at the bottom of the steel box in the negative moment region. The calculated results are compared with those by finite element analysis results. Close agreement is observed between the two approaches.

The auto-and cross-correlation function, power spectrum, coherence function and Markov model are applied to investigate the statistical characteristics of discharge and each factor of water quality and the interrelation-ship between the variation of discharge and water quality factors. The analysis of discharge, dissolved oxygen and electric conductivity, which were only obtainable data at the Indogyo gagining station in the downstream of the Han River, clearly showed that they hace distinct period of 12 months and three different periods of 6, 4 and 3 months weaker than the former. The cross-correlation between the discharge and water quality(DO, COND) is rather weak and the crosscorrelation function has its peak at lag one. It is considered therefrom that the variation of discharge behaves on water quality facotrs with one day's difference. In the examination of linear regression model for the serial generation and predictive measures, discharge series is fit to first and second order Markov model and DO, COND to first order Markov model.

An iterative time marching procedure for solving incompressible viscous flows has been applied to the flow around a propeller. This procedure solves three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations on a moving, body-fitted, non-orthogonal grid using first-order accurate scheme for the time deivatives and second-and third-order accurate schemes for the spatial derivatives. To accelerate iterative process, a multigrid technique has been applied. This procedure is suitable for efficient execution on the current generation of vector or massively parallel computer architectures. Generally good agreement with published experimental and numerical data has been obtained. It was also found that the multigrid technique was efficient in reducing the CPU time needed for the simulation and improved the solution quality.

This paper reports on a thermodynamic analysis for the GaN thick film growth by vapor phaseepitaxy method. The thermodynamic calculation was performed using a chemical stoichiometric algorism. Thesimulation variables include the growth temperature in a range 400~1500 K, the gas ratios $(GaCl_3)/(GaCl_3+NH_3)$and $(N_2)/(GaCl_3+NH_3)$. The theoretical calculation predicts that the growth temperature of GaN be in thelower range of 450~750 K than the experimental results. The difference in the growth temperature betweenthe simulation and the experiments indicates that the vapor phase epitaxy of GaN is kinetically limited,presumably, due to the high activation energy of thin film growth.

In this paper the analytical method, namely advanced minimum coupling loss(A-MCL), was proposed in order to analyze the coexistence of OFDM-based systems beyond 3G(B3G) with point-to point(PP) fixed service(FS) microwave systems. Our proposed method is based on a power spectral density(PSD) analysis. So it can be easily applicable to analyze the coexistence of OFDM-based systems B3G using flexible spectrum usage(FSU) with other systems, where the conventional MCL method cannot allocate transmit power partially to some subcarriers which overlap the band of a victim system. By applying the conventional MCL method and the A-MCL method, interfering power levels at the receiver of a interfered system are respectively calculated. A-MCL can calculate interference power more accurately than MCL by the maximum value of 4.5 dB. Therefore it can be concluded that our prosed method, namely A-MCL, is applicable to a sharing analysis of OFDM-based systems B3G.
