The structural behavior of reinforced concrete frame infilled with a masonry wall is investigated by the method of discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA). An interface element is developed and it is incorporated into DDA to analyze the continuous and discontinuous behavior of the masonry structure. The numerical results are compared with previous research and possess satisfactory agreement. Then the structural behavior and stress distribution of a reinforced concrete frame infilled with a masonry wall subjected to a horizontal force are studied. In addition, the justification of equivalent strut is assessed by the distribution of principal stresses. The results show that the behavior of the masonry structure is highly influenced by the failure of mortar. On the basis of the distribution of principal stress of the masonry wall in the reinforced concrete frame, the equivalent strut can be approximately substituted for the masonry wall without separation and opening. However, the application of equivalent strut to the masonry wall with separation and opening needs further study.

불연속성 암반에 건설된 2-아치 터널 지표면에 외력이 작용할 경우 지중응력의 분포 특성을 파악하기 위하여 대형 모형실험과 수치해석을 수행하였다 분석결과, 불연속면이 존재하는 경우에는 선형 탄성론에 근거한 응력보다 큰 지중응력이 분포하며, 불연속면의 경사도에 따라 압력구의 형상이 달라지는 것을 확인하였다. 불연속면이 수평이거나 연직인 경우에는 지중응력의 분포가 대칭적 이지만, 경사져 있으면 경사에 대해 수직과 평행한 양방향으로 나뉘어 분포되었다. 또한 불연속면의 경사가 고각일수록 불연속면에 평행인 방향의 지중응력이 더 크게 증가하였다. 연구결과, 불연속성 암반에서는 불연속면의 경사가 음력분포에 지대한 영향을 미치며, 필러에 전달되는 응력을 추정할 경우에는 재하위치와 불연속면의 경사 및 터널 구조물간 상호위치를 고려하는 것이 중요함을 확인하였다.

Novel unified criterion to optimize power coupling at optical directional couplers with discontinuous input/output interfaces is first defined and evaluated numerically. The numerical results reveal that maximum power transfer between guiding slabs without discontinuous interfaces is dominated by conventional phase-matching condition while the guiding structures with discontinuous interfaces has maximum power transfer at an equi-partition condition, which describes the power distribution condition between two rigorous modes propagating through optical couplers.

불연속성 암반에 2-Arch 터널을 건설할 경우, 필러에 작용하는 응력분포 특성을 파악하기 위하여 대형 모형실험과 수치해석을 수행하였다. 분석결과, 불연속면이 존재하는 경우에는 필러에 작용하는 하중이 매우 불규칙적으로 발생하였으며, 불연속면 경사의 영향이 큰 것을 확인하였다. 수치해석 결과 필러부에는 굴착단계에 따라 위치별로 큰 응력 차이가 확인되었다. 주목할 점은 터널 굴착시 벽체뿐만 아니라 필러 기초부에도 큰 응력 차이가 발생하였다. 필러 설계시 이러한 응력편차 현상을 신중하게 고려할 필요가 있다.

불연속 지형 전면에 작용하는 정수압 분포에 실제 압력과 차이를 해명하는 흐름률 보정 계수를 도입하여 불연속 지형을 직접 해석하는 Hwang의 기법이 적용된 수치 모형의 정확도를 높일 수 있었다. 218개 실험 시행으로 직각 광정 위어의 월류량에 가장 적합한 계수를 결정하였으며, 이것을 별도의 두 가지 직립 광정 위어 실험과 측면 위어 부정류 실험에 적용해보니 실험과 모의에서 월류량이 서로 잘 일치하였다. 이로써 조밀한 격자로 불연속 지형을 완화하거나 내부 경계를 부여하지 않고도 직각 광정 위어와 같은 불연속 하천 구조물을 지나는 천수 흐름의 정확한 수치 모의가 가능해졌다.

In this study, a stochastic finite element model is proposed with a view to consider the uncertainty of physical properties of discontinuous rock mass in the analysis of structural behavior on underground caverns. In so doing, the LHS(Latin Hypercube sampling) technique has been applied to make up weak points of the Crude Monte Carlo technique. Concerning the effect of discontinuities, a joint finite element model is used that is known to be superior in explaining faults, cleavage, things of that nature. To reflect the uncertainty of material properties, the variables such as the the elastic modulus, the poisson's ratio, the joint shear stiffness, and the joint normal stiffness have been used, all of which can be applicable through normal distribution, log-normal distribution, and rectangulary uniform distribution. The validity of the newly developed computer program has been confirmed in terms of verification examples. And, the applicability of the program has been tested in terms of the analysis of the circular cavern in discontinuous rock mass.

The modular multilevel converter (MMC) is generally considered to be a promising topology for medium-voltage and high-voltage applications. However, in order to apply it to high-power applications, a huge number of switching devices is essential. The numerous switching devices lead to considerable switching losses, high cost and a larger heat sink for each of the switching device. In order to reduce the switching losses of a MMC, this paper analyzes the performance of the conventional discontinuous pulse-width modulation (DPWM) method and its efficiency. In addition, it proposes a modified novel DPWM method for advanced switching losses reduction. The novel DPWM scheme includes an additional rotation method for voltage-balancing and power distribution among sub modules (SMs). Simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness and performance of the proposed modulation method in terms of its switching losses reduction capability.

A discontinuous Percoll gradient was used to separate islets from the collagenase-treated mouse pancreas easily and rapidly. Since the osmolality of Percoll is very low, adjustment of its osmolality to 340 mOs/kg $H_2$O was essential for securing the optimal separation. A discontinuous gradient layering with Percoll solution of 1.09 g, 1.07g, and1.05g/m, respectively, when centrifuged at 800$\times$g for 10 min, resulted in an optimal condition for separation and yielded a banding pattern with an even distribution of islet cells. No significant difference was observed in the morphological features between the Percoll-isolated and the manually-isolated islets. In conclusion, the discontinuous Percoll gradient can be effectively used to isolate the pancreatic islets from mice with four-fold higher efficiency compared to the handpicking method.

This study Presents improvement of Precision in the non-contacted laser application measuring techniques. The phase map of deformation obtained by phase shifting method in Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry displays the wrapped image by the arctangent function, which is a characteristic of 4-step phase shifting method. To obtain deformation distribution from the results, the wrapped phase map is processed by an unwrapping method. But a previous method cannot apply discontinuous object as like plate with a circular hole to obtain precious deformation distribution To solve this problem, new algorithm is developed and the result is compared with previous method.

An echo signal in the active sonar using a high frequency is mainly formed of a specular reflection from the surface of an object along with several equivalent scatter inside, which are characterized by the spatial distribution of the highlights on the object. This thesis proposed a model in which the synthesized echo signal can be expressed as a distributed simulated target. The proposed model is obtained after composing a signal based on the movement of highlights relative to the aspect angle from the discontinuous point of an external hull with a strong reflection from a spheroid underwater target. Because the proposed algorithm includes a synthesis of the signals related to the highlight spacial distribution, it can be applied to all kinds of systems used at a short range, and similar results were obtained to the actual measured results of all reflected signals in previous literature referring to the irregular factor application of an envelope.
