This study predicts the of the hysteretic friction of a rubber block sliding on an SMA asphalt road. The friction of filled rubber on a rough surface is primarily determined by two elements:the viscoelasticity of the rubber and the multi-scale perspective asperities of the road. The surface asperities of the substrate exert osillating forces on the rubber surface leading to energy dissipation via the internal friction of the rubber when rubber slides on a hard and rough substrate. This study defines the power spectra at different length scales by using a high-resolution surface profilometer, and uses rubber and road surface samples to conduct friction tests. I consider in detail the case when the substrate surface has a self affine fractal structure. The theory developed by Persson is applied to describe these tests through comparison with the hysteretic friction coefficient relevant to the energy dissipation of the viscoelastic rubber attributable to cyclic deformation. The results showed differences in the absolute values of predicted and measured friction, but with high correlation between these values. Hence, the friction prediction model is an appropriate tool for separating the effects of each factor. Therefore, this model will contribute to clearer understanding of the fundamental principles of rubber friction.

Safety and structural integrity of civil structures, like bridges and buildings, can be substantially enhanced by employing appropriate structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques for timely diagnosis of incipient damages. The information gathered from health monitoring of important infrastructure helps in making informed decisions on their maintenance. This ensures smooth, uninterrupted operation of the civil infrastructure and also cuts down the overall maintenance cost. With an early warning system, SHM can protect human life during major structural failures. A real-time online damage localization technique is proposed using only the vibration measurements in this paper. The concept of the 'Degree of Scatter' (DoS) of the vibration measurements is used to generate a spatial profile, and fractal dimension theory is used for damage detection and localization in the proposed two-phase algorithm. Further, it ensures robustness against environmental and operational variability (EoV). The proposed method works only with output-only responses and does not require correlated finite element models. Investigations are carried out to test the presented algorithm, using the synthetic data generated from a simply supported beam, a 25-storey shear building model, and also experimental data obtained from the lab-level experiments on a steel I-beam and a ten-storey framed structure. The investigations suggest that the proposed damage localization algorithm is capable of isolating the influence of the confounding factors associated with EoV while detecting and localizing damage even with noisy measurements.

The concepts of laws like regularity or persistence or recurrence those are discovered in nature, became the essential elements in speculative philosophy, study and scientific technology. Western civilization was spread out by these natural laws. As this background, this study is aimed to research the theories of natural laws and the development of geometry as the descriptive tools and the development aspects of the concepts of space. According to Whitehead's four theories on the natural laws, the result of this study that aimed like that as follows. First, the theories on the immanence and imposition of the natural laws were the predominant ideas from ancient Greek to before the scientific revolution, the theory on the simple description like the positivism made the Newton-Cartesian mechanism and an absolutist world view. The theory on the conventional interpretation made the organicism and relativism world view according to non-Euclidean geometry. Second, the geometrical composition of ancient Greek architecture was an aesthetics that represented the immanence of natural laws. Third, in the basic symbol of medieval times, the numeral symbol was the frame of thought and was an important principal of architecture. Fourth, during the Renaissance, architecture was regarded as mathematics that made the order of universe to visible things and the geometry was regarded as an important architectural principal. Fifth, according to the non-Euclidean geometry, it was possible to present the natural phenomena and the universe. Sixth, topology made to lapse the division of traditional floor, wall and ceiling in contemporary architecture and made to build the continuous space. Seventy, the new nature was explained by fractal concepts not by Euclidean shapes, fractal presented that the essence of nature had not mechanical and linear characteristic but organic and non-linear characteristic.

The purpose of this research is to examine the specificity of grids to define the characteristics of clothes styles in the Joseon Dynasty period. The significance of examining of the specificity of grids is to find out arbitrary types of the features of grids involved in structuring the Jeogori in the Joseon Dynasty period one by one. The Visual Linguistic Theory was introduced as a methodological tool to exquisitely analyze the characteristics of grids in deep structures of Jeogori in the Joseon Dynasty period. This theory strives to examine sample distribution, the distribution of samples by quality and the distribution of the types of ploidy features. Through the examination, the results are as follows. The grid systems of the Jeogori consisted of diverse proportion systems reaching 86 cases, that is, sequence systems composed of multi-functional, multi-combined bodies. Most ornamental grids had feature angles distributed in a range of $2-20^{\circ}$ that showed a common preference for low sloped diagonal lines or small curvature. Although the preference for certain feature angles were prominent, the feature angles that were used were generally distributed evenly among diverse feature angles to show the characteristics of separation. Therefore, Jeogori makers in the Joseon Dynasty period can be considered as having experimented with many proportion systems to show their aesthetics. In conclusion, based on the results of the examination of feature distributions and related methods to allocate ploidy features, O-type accounted for 66% and thus it was identified that the Jeogori was characterized by O-type. Therefore, it was identified that the characteristic of the Jeogori in the Joseon Dynasty period consisted of O-type fractal structures which are formative structures unique to our nation.

The purpose of this study was to propose a new approach for quantifying in situ rock mass damage, which would include a degree-of-damage and the degraded strength of a rock mass, along with its prediction based on real-time Acoustic Emission (AE) observations. The basic approach for quantifying in-situ rock mass damage is to derive the normalized value of measured AE energy with the maximum AE energy, called the degree-of-damage in this study. With regard to estimation of the AE energy, an AE crack source location algorithm of the Wigner-Ville Distribution combined with Biot's wave dispersion model, was applied for more reliable AE crack source localization in a rock mass. In situ AE wave attenuation was also taken into account for AE energy correction in accordance with the propagation distance of an AE wave. To infer the maximum AE energy, fractal theory was used for scale-independent AE energy estimation. In addition, the Weibull model was also applied to determine statistically the AE crack size under a jointed rock mass. Subsequently, the proposed methodology was calibrated using an in situ test carried out in the Underground Research Tunnel at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. This was done under a condition of controlled incremental cyclic loading, which had been performed as part of a preceding study. It was found that the inferred degree-of-damage agreed quite well with the results from the in situ test. The methodology proposed in this study can be regarded as a reasonable approach for quantifying rock mass damage.

현대 사회는 서구의 자연과학에 바탕을 둔 환원주의적 사고로는 해결할 수 없는 많은 문제점을 담고 있다. 지금까지는 경험론이나 합리론의 바탕 위에 결정론적 세계관을 이루어 왔는데 이것은 일종의 기계론적 세계관이라 할 수 있다. 그러나 20세기 이후 자연과학 분야에서는 전통적인 결정론에 반기를 들었고, 다원주의적 사고가 대두되게 되었다. 즉 포스트모더니티 라는 이름으로 서구의 이성이 해체되기 시작했고, 새로운 사고가 필요하게 되었다. 이러한 새로운 패러다임은 디자인에도 영향을 끼치게 되었고 모던디자인의 한계를 극복하는 차원에서 연구되었다.

본 연구에서는 풍화잔류토의 생성을 특성화시키는 새로운 분열모델을 제안하였으며, GRS모델이라고 명명하였다. GRS 모델은 풍화가 많이 진행될수록 흙 입자의 크기가 작아지고 흙 속의 간극이 많아진다는 사실에 착안하였으며, 프랙탈 이론으로부터 도출된 $P_F$(분열가능성)로써 풍화잔류토의 생성과정을 표현할 수 있다. 암석이 분열됨으로써 흙 입자들이 생성되며 암석의 분열은 단계별로 진행되지만 각 단계별 분열가능성은 일정하지 않다는 것이 GRS모델의 기본개념이다. GRS모델의 적용성을 검증한 결과, 입자들의 잔류량이 많은 입경에서 $P_{Fi}$(분열단계별 분열가능성)가 작게 산출되었고, 입도분포가 양호할수록 크게 산출되었다. 일반적인 흙에서 나타나는 S자형상의 입도분포곡선은 $P_{Fi}$가 높은 오목형상에서 나타났으며, $P_{Fi}$의 변화형상이 볼록하면서 높은 값을 가질경우에는 빈입도의 입도분포특성을 나타내었다. 전반적으로 $P_{Fi}$가 작은 경우에는 $P_{Fi}$의 변화형상에 관계없이 큰 입자의 잔류량이 많은 오목한 형상의 입도분포곡선을 나타내었다. $P_{Fi}$의 평균값은 균등계수$(C_u)$와 분열프랙탈차원$(D_r)$에 비례하여 증가하였으나, 곡률계수$(C_C)$와는 무관하였다.

동일지점에 투하한 여러개 표류부표 사이의 이격거리 관측방법을 사용하여 한국 연안 여러곳에서 와동확산의 분산을 측정하고 ‘확산계수’를 산정하였다. 시간이 경과함에 따라 와동확산의 분산은 ｔ$^{m}$ 에 비례하여 증가 하였는데, 여기서 시간지수승 m은 1.5와 3.5범위의 비정수 값으로 나타났다. 실측된 분산의 시간지수승 관계는 와동확산계수를 상수로 두는 확산모델링 방법에서는 재현되지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 프랙탈 이론을 도입하여 와동확산에 에 따른 분산의 지수승 관계를 시뮬레이트하였다. 본 논문의 프랙탈 확산모델에서는 가우스소음 대신에 프랙탈 가우스소음(fGn)을 와동확산에 따른 임의행보 과정에 적용하였다. 이 모델에서 프랙탈 브라운운동(fBm)으로 표현되는 와동확산의 분산은 시간 ｔ에 대하여 ｔ$^{2H}$와 같이 나타났는데, 여기서 H는 허스트 지수(Hurst exponent)이다. 본 논문의 프랙탈 확산모델은 시간지수승이 1과 2범위인 와동확산 분산을 잘 재현하였지만, 시간지수승이 2가 넘는 경우는 재현되지 않는다. 시간지수승이 2이상인 경우는 평균류의 유속전단(velocity shear)에 기인한다.다.
