In-situ measurements are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and limited in their ability to observe currents with spatial variations in the surf zone. This paper proposes an optical image-based method of measurement of currents in the surf zone. This method measures nearshore currents by tracking in time wave breaking-induced foam patches from sequential images. Foam patches in images tend to be arrayed with irregular pixel intensity values, which are likely to remain consistent for a short period of time. This irregular intensity feature of a foam patch is characterized and represented as a keypoint using an image-based object recognition method, i.e., Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). The keypoints identified by the SIFT method are traced from time sequential images to produce instantaneous velocity fields. In order to remove erroneous velocities, the instantaneous velocity fields are filtered by binding them within upper and lower limits, and averaging the velocity data in time and space with a certain interval. The measurements that are obtained by this method are comparable to the results estimated by an existing image-based method of observing currents, named the Optical Current Meter (OCM).

Inversion of traveltime requires an efficient algorithm for computing the traveltime as well as its $Frech\hat{e}t$ derivative. We compute the traveltime of the head waves using the damped wave solution in the Laplace domain and then present a new algorithm for calculating the $Frech\hat{e}t$ derivative of the head wave traveltimes by exploiting the numerical structure of the finite element method, the modem sparse matrix technology, and SWEET algorithm developed recently. Then, we use a properly regularized steepest descent method to invert the traveltime of the Marmousi-2 model. Through our numerical tests, we will demonstrate that the refraction tomography with large aperture data can be used to construct the initial velocity model for the prestack depth migration.

For the first time, the influence of in-plane magnetic field on wave propagation of Graphene Nano-Platelets (GNPs) polymer composite nanoplates is investigated here. The impact of three- parameter Kerr foundation is also considered. There are two different reinforcement distribution patterns (i.e. uniformly and non-uniformly) while the material properties of the nanoplate are estimated through the Halpin-Tsai model and a rule of mixture. To consider the size-dependent behavior of the structure, Eringen Nonlocal Differential Model (ENDM) is utilized. The equations of wave motion derived based on a higher-order shear deformation refined theory through Hamilton's principle and an analytical technique depending on Taylor series utilized to find the wave frequency as well as phase velocity of the GNPs reinforced nanoplates. A parametric investigation is performed to determine the influence of essential phenomena, such as the nonlocality, GNPs conditions, Kerr foundation parameters, and wave number on the both longitudinal and flexural wave characteristics of GNPs reinforced nanoplates.

선형파 이론에서 제시되는 유속분포를 이용하여 파랑인자에 의하여 영향을 받는 분산계수를 이론적으로 유도하였다. 유도된 분산계수는 수심평균, 주기 평균된 값으로 천해조건보다 심해조건에서 큰 값을 보이고 있다. 또한, 분산계수 값은 연직 방향 혼합시간에 비하여 큰 주기 값에서는 특정한 값으로 수렴하고, 매우 작은 주기 값에서는 0으로 되는 일반적인 경향도 보이고 있다. 한편, 단순한 지형 및 가정 하에서 유도된 본 분산계수를 보다 실질적인 상황에서도 적용할 수 있고, 천해영역의 조건을 반영할 수 있도록 보완·수정할 필요가 있다.

경북 포항시 일월동 지역에서 482 m 길이의 동서 방향의 측선에 대한 탄성파 굴절법 및 반사법탐사를 실시하였다. 자료수집에서 지오폰 간격과 오프셋은 각각 2 m로 설정하였으며, 발파는 끝점 발파 배열 방법을 이용하여 한 발파점마다 24채널을 기록하였다. 발파 간격은 2 m로 하여 측선의 전구간에서 탄성파 자료를 취득하였다. 굴절법탐사 자료의 해석은 수평다층구조 이론을 적용하여 실시하였으며, 반사파 자료 처리는 트레이스 편집, 이득조절, 공심점 분류, 수직경로시차 보정, 뮤트 과정을 거친 후 동일 오프셋 모음을 취하여 단일중첩 탄성파 단면을 작성하고 필터링을 거친 후 해석에 이용하였다. 굴절법탐사 자료 해석결과 조사 측선 구간의 천부지반은 크게 2층으로 구분되는데, 상부층은 267∼566 m/s 의 P파 속도 분포를 보여 대체로 미고결 퇴적층이며, 하부층은 1096∼3108 m/s 의 P파 속도 분포를 보여 풍화암∼경암의 암반으로 구성되었음을 알 수 있다. 상부 미고결층은 수평적으로 큰 변화를 보이고 있는 바, 측선의 동측 구간에는 평균 400 m/s 의 P파 속도를 보이는 미고결 사암층이 3∼5 m 두께로 발달되어 있으며, 측선의 서측 구간은 평균 340 m/s 의 P파 속도를 갖는 매립토층이 8∼10 m 두께로 발달된 것으로 해석된다. 반사파 단면도에서 조사구간에 3개의 고각의 단층대가 분포하며, 이들 단층대를 경계로 기반암이 나누어져 있으며 단층대 사이의 구간은 비교적 안정된 지반으로 해석된다. 대형 건물의 위치는 단층대를 피하여 안정된 지반 구간에 위치해야 함을 고려할 때, 그 기초를 3∼10 m 깊이 하부에 위치하는 기반암 내에 설치되도록 설계되어야 할 것이다.

Non-destructive exploration using elastic waves has been widely used to characterize rock mass properties. Wave propagation in jointed rock masses is significantly governed by the characteristics and orientation of discontinuities. The relationship between spatial heterogeneity (i.e., joint spacing) and wavelength for elastic waves propagating through jointed rock masses have been investigated previously. Discontinuous rock masses can be considered as an equivalent continuum material when the wavelength of the propagating elastic wave exceeds the spatial heterogeneity. However, it is unclear how stress-dependent long-wavelength elastic waves propagate through a repetitive rock-joint system with multiple joints. A preliminary numerical simulation was performed in in this study to investigate long-wavelength elastic wave propagation in regularly jointed rock masses using the three-dimensional distinct element code program. First, experimental studies using the quasi-static resonant column (QSRC) testing device are performed on regularly jointed disc column specimens for three different materials (acetal, aluminum, and gneiss). The P- and S-wave velocities of the specimens are obtained under various normal stress levels. The normal and shear joint stiffness are calculated from the experimental results using an equivalent continuum model and used as input parameters for numerical analysis. The spatial and temporal sizes are carefully selected to guarantee a stable numerical simulation. Based on the calibrated jointed rock model, the numerical and experimental results are compared.

본 연구에서는 해양수산자원 및 레크리에이션 증진을 위한 프로그램의 일부로 개발된 철도차량 인공어초의 수리학적 안정성 평가를 위해 수리모형실험을 수행하였다. Froude 상사법칙을 적용한 고정상 및 이동상 수리모형실험에서는 설계외력(파랑, 흐름 등)에 상당하는 조건에 따라 이론적/실험적 검토를 수행하였다. 실험결과로서 파랑-흐름공존장에서 어초의 안정성에 영향을 미치는 무차원 영향인자(설계파라메타)로서 쇄파상사지수, 수립자속도, 세굴/퇴적 등이 있으며, 고정상 실험에서 어초의 활동을 일으키는 한계조건은 쇄파상사지수에 따라서 무차원 최대수립자속도가 약 0.32 이상일 때 나타났다. 또한 이동상 실험에서 침하량(현장치)은 6~30cm이었다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 어초의 활동에 작용하는 외력의 방향과 저질 특성이 어초 시설적지를 선정할 때 반드시 고려되어야 함을 알 수 있었다.

The interaction of monochromatic incident waves with a submerged horizontal porous membrane is investigated in the context of two-dimensional linear hydro-elastic theory. It is assumed that the membrane is made of material with very fine pores so that the normal velocity of the fluid passing through the porous membrane is linearly proportional to the pressure difference between two sides of the membrane (e.g. Darcy's law). Using the Eigen-function expansion method, the wave-blocking performance of a submerged horizontal porous membrane is tested with various membrane tensions, porosities, lengths, and submerged depths. It is found that an optimal combination of design parameters exists for given water depth and wave characteristics.

A theoretical study of Boussinesq equations (BEs) for internal waves propagating in a two-fluid system is presented in this paper. The two-fluid system is assumed to be bounded by two rigid plates. A set of three equations is firstly derived which has three main unknowns, the interfacial displacement and two velocity potentials at arbitrary elevations for upper and lower fluids, respectively. The determination of the optimal BEs requires a solution of depth parameters which can be uniquely solved by applying the $Pad{\acute{e}}$ approximation to dispersion relation. Some wave properties predicted by the optimal BEs are examined. The optimal model not only increases the applicable range of traditional BEs but also provides a novel aspect of internal wave studies.

Theoretical study has been conducted to clarify pressure characteristics of KTX (Korea Train eXpress) in tunnel. The severe pressure change in tunnel may give rise to the ear-discomfort for passenger and fatigue for car body. Critical tunnel lengths which are induced by x-t diagram analysis can be applied to the experimental results measured by using the running test with atmospheric pressure sensors and portable data acquisition system in previous study. In this study, the tunnels from 200m to 4000m in length have been chosen for the investigation of tunnel length effects. We found that there are similar patterns of external pressure change for each critical tunnel length. The critical tunnel lengths are governed by train speed, train length and sonic velocity. And, the patterns of pressure wave in tunnel are classified into eight groups.
