In this paper, our primary focus revolves around the examination of a set of fractional stochastic models. Through our investigation, we can establish the presence of a solution and its distinctiveness. Additionally, we employ a moment-based algorithm to estimate the coefficients within these models and provide evidence that these estimations maintain their asymptotic characteristics. To support this claim, we conduct experimental studies using simulations and numerical examples.

2011년 7월 27일 우면산 유역에서 일련의 토석류가 발생하여 많은 인명과 재산 피해를 야기했다. 이러한 토석류 피해를 저감하기 위해서는 토석류가 어떻게 이동하고 퇴적되어 하류부에 피해를 주는지를 예측할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 우면산 토석류에 대해서 FLO-2D 수치모형을 적용하여, 모형의 성능을 평가하고, 이들 토석류의 유동 매개변수를 분석하였다. 우면산 북측사면에서 발생한 토석류의 현장 관측자료와 FLO-2D 모의 결과 분석을 통해서 역산된 우면산 토석류의 대표 항복응력은 1,022 Pa 그리고 대표 동점성은 652 $Pa{\cdot}s$ 인 것으로 나타났다. 선정된 매개변수를 이용하여 우면산 토석류의 퇴적영역을 산정한 결과, 래미안 유역의 경우 63 - 85% 정확도의 피해유역을 재현됨으로서 FLO-2D 모형은 피해유역 산정에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, FLO-2D 모형이 침식물질과 우수의 연행작용을 고려할 수 없는 고유의 한계 때문에 연행작용이 현저한 래미안 및 신동아 유역 토석류의 유하속도는 과소평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 유하부에서 침식에 의한 연행작용이 활발하지 않은 형촌마을 유역 토석류는 수로와 저수지 상부 부근에서의 퇴적을 우수한 정확도로 모의되었다. 민감도 분석 결과 유사체적농도와 바닥조도계수 모두 토석류의 흐름두께와 유속 모두에 상당한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나났으므로, 이들 매개변수의 선정에 신중해야 함을 보여주었다.

본 논문에서는 유효응력모델을 이용하여 포화된 사면의 동적거동에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 수치해석에는 저자가 개발한 연성 유효응력모델인 UBSSAND모델을 이용하였으며, 이 모델은 초기전단응력이 수평면에 작용하는 경우와 작용하지 않는 경우를 포함한 반복 직접단순전단시험 자료를 이용하여 검증하였다. 검증된 모델은 느슨한 Fraser River 모래로 성형된 사면을 가진 원심모형모델의 동적거동을 예측하였다. 예측된 과잉간극수압, 가속도 및 변위를 계측치와 서로 비교하였으며, 예측치와 계측치는 비교적 서로 잘 일치하였다. 전단응력도의 응력전환형태는 초기전단응력과 반복전단응력의 크기에 따라 달라지며, 이는 지진시 포화된 사면의 안정해석에 아주 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 전단응력도의 응력전환이 발생하지 않을 경우에 사면근처의 모래는 낮은 유효응력 구속압과 그에 따른 팽창성으로(부의 과잉간극수압발생) 유효응력이 증가하여, 동적하중 하의 사면의 변위를 저지하였다. 이와 같은 유효응력모델은 액상화를 고려한 지반구조물의 내진해석에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Modeling the effects of high-rise buildings on thermo-dynamic conditions and meteorological fields over a coastal urban area was conducted using the modified meso-urban meteorological model (Urbanized MM5; uMM5) with the urban canopy parameterization (UCP) and the high-resolution inputs (urban morphology, land-use/land-cover sub-grid distribution, and high-quality digital elevation model data sets). Sensitivity simulations was performed during a typical sea-breeze episode (4~8 August 2006). Comparison between simulations with real urban morphology and changed urban morphology (i.e. high-rise buildings to low residential houses) showed that high-rise buildings could play an important role in urban heat island and land-sea breeze circulation. The major changes in urban meteorologic conditions are followings: significant increase in daytime temperature nearly by $1.0^{\circ}C$ due to sensible heat flux emitted from high density residential houses, decrease in nighttime temperature nearly by $1.0^{\circ}C$ because of the reduction in the storage heat flux emitted from high-rise buildings, and large increase in wind speed (maximum 2 m $s^{-1}$) during the daytime due to lessen drag-force or increased gradient temperature over coastal area.

Vehicular network is one of the most important subjects for researchers in recent years. Anycast routing protocols have many applications in vehicular ad hoc networks. The aim of an anycast protocol is sending packets to at least one of the receivers among candidate receivers. Studies done on anycast protocols over vehicular networks, however, have capability of implementation on some applications; they are partial, and application specific. No need to say that the lack of a comprehensive study, having a strong analytical background, is felt. Mathematical modeling in vehicular networks is difficult because the topology of these networks is dynamic. In this paper, it has been demonstrated that vehicular networks can be modeled based on time-expanded networks. The focus of this article is on geographical anycast. Three different scenarios were proposed including sending geographic anycast packet to exactly-one-destination, to at-least-one-destination, and to K-anycast destination, which can cover important applications of geographical anycast routing protocols. As the proposed model is of MILP type, a decentralized heuristic algorithm was presented. The evaluation process of this study includes the production of numerical results by Branch and Bound algorithm in general algebraic modeling system (GAMS) software and simulation of the proposed protocol in OMNET++ simulator. The comprehension of the result of proposed protocol and model shows that the applicability of this proposed protocol and its reactive conformity with the presented models based on presented metrics.

The microstructure evolution in hot forging process is composed of dynamic recrystallization during deformation as well as grain growth during dwell time. Therefore, the control of forging parameters such as strain, strain rate. temperature and holding time is important because the microstructure change in hot working affects the mechanical properties. Modeling equations are developed to represent the flow curve. grain size. recrystallized volume fraction and grain growth phenomena by various tests. The developed modeling equations were combined with thermo-viscoplastic finite element modeling to predict the microstructure change evolution during hot forging process. The large exhaust valve spindle (head diameter of 512mm) was simulated by closed die forging with hydraulic press and cooled in air after forging. The preform was heated to each 1080 and 1150$^{\circ}C$. Numerical calculation was performed by DEFORM-2D. a commercial finite element code. Heat transfer can be coupled with the deformation analysis in a non-isothermal deformation analysis. In order to obtain the fine and homogeneous microstructure and good mechanical properties in forging. the FEM would become a useful tool in the simulation of the microstructure development. In forging, appropriate temperature, strain and strain rate and rapid cooling are required to obtain the fine grain microstructure The optimal forging temperature and effective strain range of Nimonic 80A for large exhaust valve spindle are about 1080$\∼$l120$^{\circ}C$ and 150$\∼$200$\%$.

지표수-지하수 혼합대는 하천 및 호소 등에서 지표수와 지하수가 교환되는 공간이다. 지표수-지하수 혼합은 하상의 토층으로 확장되어 다양한 물리적, 생지화화적, 열역학적 교환을 발생시키며 수생태계 내 고유한 생태적 전이대를 형성하는데 주요한 역할을 한다. 과거 실험 및 수치모의 연구에 의하면 혼합대에서 발생하는 물질교환은 하천의 지형적인 특징으로 발생하는 압력분포에 의해 지배된다. 특히 하천의 구간 규모에서 여울-소 구조는 혼합대의 특성을 지배하는 주요 인자로 알려져 있다. 여울-소 연속 구조는 지표수에서 재순환영역과 정체점을 형성하며 이 독특한 흐름 구조에 의해 혼합대의 흐름특성이 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 동수역학 모형을 이용하여 Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes 방정식과 Darcy 방정식을 동시에 해석하여 연속된 여울-소 구조에서 발생하는 지표수의 흐름구조가 혼합대의 흐름에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 모의 결과, 여울-소 구조에서 지표수의 재순환영역 및 정체점은 상승류와 하강류 형성과 직접적 연관을 가지며, 재순환영역의 크기가 감소하면 여울 전면부 하강류 형성 구간의 길이가 감소하고 최대 하강류 발생 지점이 하부로 이동하는 특성을 파악하였다. 이와 같은 본 연구의 결과는 혼합대의 현장관측, 하천 관리 및 복원 등의 연구에 활용하여 친환경 하천 조성에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

지반구조물의 동적해석은 모델의 영역이 커짐에 따라 에너지가 감소하는 현상을 표현할 수 있는 방법을 필요로 한다. 이러한 현상은 흔히 방사 감쇠(radiation damping) 또는 기하학적 감쇠(geometric attenuation)로 알려져 있으며, 탄성에너지가 점성 또는 이력현상에 의해 감소되는 재료 감쇠현상과는 구별된다. 따라서 수치해석으로 지반구조물의 동적거동을 해석할 경우 모델의 영역 구축은 특별한 고려를 필요로 한다. 인공적인 경계조건은 유한요소내의 지반상태를 무한상태로 변형시킬 수 있어야 하며, 경계에 도달하는 응력 파동을 모델내로 반사시키지 않고 흡수 할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 간단한 점 탄성 반무한 불연속 요소를 이용하여 지반구조물의 동적해석을 수행할 경우 에너지를 투과하는 경계조건을 수립하는 방법을 보여준다. 반무한 요소의 실행은 OpenSees라는 유한요소 해석프로그램을 이용하여 수행되었으며, 예를 통하여 불연속 요소가 경계에 도달하는 응력 파동을 충분히 흡수하여 유한요소 모델을 반무한 상태로 전환 시킬 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 본 논문에서 제시된 방법은 간단하게 실용적으로 사용할 수 있는 반무한 경계조건이지만, 입사각이 매우 예리할 경우는 에너지의 흡수정도가 충분치 않은 것으로 알려져 있다.

The impact of competition on pricing has been studied in the context of counterfactual merger analyses where expected optimal prices in a hypothetical monopoly are compared with observed prices in an oligopolistic market. Such analyses would typically assume static decision making by consumers and firms and thus have been applied mostly to data obtained from consumer packed goods such as cereal and soft drinks. However such static modeling approach is not suitable when decision makers are forward looking. When it comes to the markets for durable products with indirect network effects, consumer purchase decisions and firm pricing decisions are inherently dynamic as they take into account future states when making purchase and pricing decisions. Researchers need to take into account the dynamic aspects of decision making both in the consumer side and in the supplier side for such markets. Firms in a two-sided market typically subsidize one side of the market to exploit the indirect network effect. Such pricing behaviors would be more prevalent in competitive markets where firms would try to win over the battle for standard. While such qualitative expectation on the relationship between pricing behaviors and competitive structures could be easily formed, little empirical studies have measured the extent to which the distinct pricing structure in two-sided markets depends on the competitive structure of the market. This paper develops an empirical model to measure the impact of competition on optimal pricing of durable products under indirect network effects. In order to measure the impact of exogenously determined competition among firms on pricing, we compare the equilibrium prices in the observed oligopoly market to those in a hypothetical monopoly market. In computing the equilibrium prices, we account for the forward looking behaviors of consumers and supplier. We first estimate a demand function that accounts for consumers' forward-looking behaviors and indirect network effects. And then, for the supply side, the pricing equation is obtained as an outcome of the Markov Perfect Nash Equilibrium in pricing. In doing so, we utilize numerical dynamic programming techniques. We apply our model to a data set obtained from the U.S. video game console market. The video game console market is considered a prototypical case of two-sided markets in which the platform typically subsidizes one side of market to expand the installed base anticipating larger revenues in the other side of market resulting from the expanded installed base. The data consist of monthly observations of price, hardware unit sales and the number of compatible software titles for Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64 from September 1996 to August 2002. Sony PlayStation was released to the market a year before Nintendo 64 was launched. We compute the expected equilibrium price path for Nintendo 64 and Playstation for both oligopoly and for monopoly. Our analysis reveals that the price level differs significantly between two competition structures. The merged monopoly is expected to set prices higher by 14.8% for Sony PlayStation and 21.8% for Nintendo 64 on average than the independent firms in an oligopoly would do. And such removal of competition would result in a reduction in consumer value by 43.1%. Higher prices are expected for the hypothetical monopoly because the merged firm does not need to engage in the battle for industry standard. This result is attributed to the distinct property of a two-sided market that competing firms tend to set low prices particularly at the initial period to attract consumers at the introductory stage and to reinforce their own networks and eventually finally to dominate the market.
