철도는 항공기, 선박 등과 더불어 대표적 대중교통 수단으로서 최근 고속 철도의 등장으로 인해 그 비중이 점점 더 높아지고 있으며, 아울러 대형사고의 위험 또한 증가하고 있다. 이중에서 철도 차량의 차축 베어링은 높은 안전성이 요구되는 부품으로서 최근 이의 고장예측을 위한 건전성 관리기술(Prognostics and Health Management, PHM)에 많은 연구가 집중되고 있다. PHM은 센서를 통해 얻은 데이터로부터 결함관련 특징신호를 추출하고 현재의 고장수준 진단과 미래의 고장싯점을 예측하는 기술로서, 이중에서 가장 중요한 부분은 올바른 특징신호를 추출하는 것이다. 그러나 지금까지의 특징신호들은 잡음으로 인한 심한 변동이나 비단조 경향으로 인해 고장예측에 이용하기에 부족한 점이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 이를 극복하기 위해 주파수 에너지 이동현상을 기반으로 정보 엔트로피를 특징신호로 사용하는 새로운 특징신호 추출법을 개발하고 IEEE 2012 PHM 경진대회에서 공개된 FEMTO 베어링 수명시험 데이터를 대상으로 기존의 특징신호들과 고장예측 성능비교를 함으로써 그 우수성을 검증하였다.

최근 해양구조물의 건설이 활발해짐에 따라 해상 부유식 구조체를 경제적으로 지지할 수 있는 새로운 기초형식을 개발하려는 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 대구경 단일형 석션파일 대신에 다수의 중구경 석션파일을 콘크리트 파일캡으로 결합한 그룹형 석션파일 형식에 대하여 연구하였다. 해상 부유식 구조체에 사용되는 기초의 경우 수평방향 하중이 지배적이므로 그룹형 석션파일의 수평방향 지지거동을 3차원 유한요소 해석을 통해 분석하였다. 그룹형 석션파일은 근입깊이가 얕아서 강체기초 거동을 하게 되므로 수평방향 거동을 분석할 때 지표면 부근의 낮은 구속압을 받는 지반의 정밀한 거동 모사가 필요하다. 이를 위하여, 탄성계수, 지반강도 등을 지반 구속압에 따라 증가되도록 모델링하였다. 해석조건은 석션파일 중심간 거리, 그리고 사질토와 점성토의 지반조건 등을 변화시키며 변수연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 석션파일 사이의 간격이 증가함에 따라 점차 항복하중이 증가하였으며, 그룹형 석션파일의 항복하중은 S/D=5인 경우 회전을 허용한 단일형 석션파일 항복하중의 약 3배인 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose : This study examined the effects of college students' occupational value and social support on their career decision status. Methods : This research was conducted between May 6 and May 30 in 2023 with 228 college students from city B in South Korea as the study participants. The frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation of the collected data were analyzed, while t-test, ANOVA test, Scheffe's test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and a multivariate regression analysis were conducted using the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. Results : The analysis revealed that the research subjects had an average occupational value of 3.58±.44, social support of 4.18±.56, and a career decision status of 2.82±.59. Notably, a significant difference in the career decision status of the students was observed with regard to their fields of major (F=2.36, p=.019), However, no other variable demonstrated a significant difference. The confidence level pertaining to career decision-making was found to be positively correlated with the pursuit of status and self-direction (r=.25, p<.001), pursuit of creativity (r=.16, p=.017), pursuit of relationship (r=.35, p<.001), pursuit of diversity and change (r=.16, p=17), pursuit of interest (r=.19, p=.003), pursuit of compensation (r=.29, p<.001), pursuit of professionalism (r=.46, p<.001), material support (r=.25, p<.001), appraisal support (r=.35, p<.001), informational support (r=.32, p<.001), and emotional support (r=.29, p<.001). Moreover, the indecision level related to career decision-making demonstrated a positive correlation with the pursuit of excellence (r=.17, p=.010). The factors that affected the confidence level of career decision-making included appraisal support (β=.29, p<.001) and pursuit of compensation (β=.19, p=.003), whose collective explanatory power was 15 %. It was further observed that appraisal support (β=-.27, p<.001), pursuit of professionalism (β=-.16 p=.017), pursuit of excellence (β=.17, p=.005), and the field of major (β=-.16, p=.012) largely influenced the indecision level related to career decision-making, together bearing an explanatory power of 17 %. Conclusion : The results of this study have important implications for enhancing college students' career decision status. Moreover, further research investigating the diverse variables that affect students' career decision status is necessary, along with effective endeavors to improve education and develop programs that positively affect college students' career decision status.

In this study, by comparing the development and the space types of local and foreign flexible apartments, basic data will be derived for the development of various flexible types of apartments in Korea. A total of 60 unit plans, including 30 domestic cases and 30 overseas cases of flexible apartments, are analyzed for this study. In terms of the unit plan types, Korean apartments usually had a wide front bay with shallow depth, placing more rooms on the front bay; whereas foreign apartments tend to have various unit plan types: (1) a narrow front bay with deep depth, (2) a wide front bay with shallow depth, and (3) variegated open-plan types. Many apartments in foreign countries had a double-layered structure with the. upstairs and downstairs areas. In terms of the flexible types, many Korean apartments achieved interior flexibility using non-bearing wall or sliding doors; whereas foreign apartments had a flexible space by separating the support elements and the infill elements. There was found to be a close relationship between the location of support elements and the variability of unit plans. Support elements can be placed largely into three locations: (1) Between the front side bay and the rear side bay, (2) in the center bay of a unit plan, and (3) others. Depending on the location of support elements, various types of flexible unit plans can be created. Through a comparative analysis of domestic and foreign apartments, basic data that can be used for developing various flexible unit plans was derived.

Background: Orbital resorbable mesh plates are adequate to use for isolated floor and medial wall fractures with an intact bony buttress, but are not recommended to use for large orbital wall fractures that need load bearing support. The author previously reported an orbital wall restoring surgery that restored the orbital floor to its prior position through the transnasal approach and maintained temporary extraorbital support with a balloon in the maxillary sinus. Extraorbital support could reduce the load applied on the orbital implants in orbital wall restoring surgery and the use of resorbable implants was considered appropriate for the author's orbital wall restoring technique. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of 31 patients with pure unilateral orbital floor fractures between May 2014 and May 2018. The patients underwent transnasal restoration of the orbital floor through insertion of a resorbable mesh plate and maintenance of temporary balloon support. The surgical results were evaluated by the Hertel scale and a comparison of preoperative and postoperative orbital volume ratio (OVR) values. Results: The OVR decreased significantly, by an average of 6.01% (p<0.05) and the preoperative and postoperative Hertel scale measurements decreased by an average of 0.34 mm with statistical significance (p<0.05). No complications such as buckling or sagging of the implant occurred among the 31 patients. Conclusion: The use of resorbable mesh plate in orbital floor restoration surgery is an effective and safe technique that can reduce implant deformation or complications deriving from the residual permanent implant.

Purpose : Chronic ankle instability can lead to problems in balance and gait due to weakness of the ankle muscles and decreased proprioceptive sensation. Balance training that stimulates proprioceptors is necessary to improve ankle stability. We aimed to compare the effects of unstable support balance exercises using whole body sonic vibration and an aero-step (TOGU) on proprioception and balance in individuals with unilateral functional ankle instability. Methods : Thirty-six participants with unilateral functional ankle instability were randomly recruited and divided into two groups (group 1 = sonic whole body vibration, group 2= TOGU). Individuals in each group participated in training for 5 weeks, 40 minutes per session, 5 times per week, and performed weight-bearing exercises in five postures on different unstable support surfaces. Proprioception was measured by digital inclinometer (Dualer IQ), and balance was measured by force platform (Biodex balance system). Results : Significant differences were observed in proprioception before and after intervention within both group (p<.05). Significant differences were also observed in the balance index before and after intervention within both groups (p<.05). Conclusion : As a result of this study, it is suggested that for individuals with ankle instability, unstable support surface training using a whole body sonic vibrator and TOGU can have a positive effects on proprioception and balance ability.

박층 뿜칠 라이너(Thin Spray-on Liner, TSL)는 1990년대에 개발되어 광산에 처음 적용된 이후로 숏크리트의 대체 재료로서의 활용이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 폴리머 함량이 다른 두 가지 TSL 재료에 대하여 인장강도시험, 부착강도시험, TSL 코팅 시험편에 대한 압축강도시험 및 EFNARC(2008)에서 제안한 TSL의 지지 성능평가 시험을 수행하여 지보재로서 사용하기 위한 TSL의 역학적 성능을 평가하였다. 실험결과, 본 연구에서 사용된 두 가지 재료 모두 지보재로서의 최소 성능 규정은 만족하는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히, 폴리머 성분이 높을수록 인장강도가 증가하는 반면, 시멘트계 성분이 높을수록 상대적으로 초기 재령에서 부착강도가 크게 나타남을 실험적으로 확인하였다.
