기상학적으로 극치강수사상의 특성을 정확하게 이해하기가 어렵고 이를 모형을 통해서 구현하기는 더욱이 어려운 것이 현실이다. 이러한 점에서 본 연구는 극치사상과 연관된 대규모 기상장을 이해하기 위한 수단으로서 과거자료를 바탕으로 한강수장 추출기법을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 관심을 가지는 수문기상학적 특성은 강수장의 위치, 크기, 방향 등이며 이를 전지구자료로부터 추출할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 극치강수량에 따른 강우의 이동을 평가하기 위하여 NOAA에서 제공하는 NCEP 전지구기상자료를 활용하였으며 바람벡터자료와 비습도를 활용하여 우선적으로 강우장을 정의하였다. 본 연구에서는 정의된 강수장의 특성을 정의하기 위해서 감시 구역내 강우장의 1, 2차모멘트를 계산하고 이를 토대로 강우장의 공분산을 추정하여 최종적으로 기하학적 타원체를 기본으로 하는 정의방법을 개발하였다. 합성자료를 대상으로 모형의 적합성을 평가한 결과 정규화된 분포를 가지는 강우장의 형태뿐만 아니라 불규칙하게 분포된 강우장에 대해서도 모멘트개념에 근거한 타원체를 통해서 강우장의 특성을 효과적으로 정의할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 실제 강우장을 대상으로 모멘트개념에 근거한 타원체를 정의하여 강우장의 위치, 이동방향, 영향반경 등을 효과적으로 추출할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Civil structures may experience progressive deterioration and damage under environmental and operational conditions over their service life. Finite element (FE) model updating method is one of the most important approaches for damage identification in structures due to its capabilities in structural health monitoring. Although various damage detection approaches have been investigated on structures, there are limited studies on large-sized space structures. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the applicability and efficiency of sensitivity-based FE model updating framework for damage identification in large space structures from a distinct point of view. This framework facilitates modeling and model updating in large and geometric complicated space structures. Considering sensitivity-based FE model updating and vibration measurements, the discrepancy between acceleration response data in real damaged structure and hypothetical damaged structure have been minimized through adjusting the updating parameters. The feasibility and efficiency of the above-mentioned approach for damage identification has finally been demonstrated with two numerical examples: a flat double layer grid and a double layer diamatic dome. According to the results, this method can detect, localize, and quantify damages in large-scaled space structures very accurately which is robust to noisy data. Also, requiring a remarkably small number of iterations to converge, typically less than four, demonstrates the computational efficiency of this method.

Effects of dam and weir on the fluid flow and behavior of inclusions in the continuous casting tundish have been studied using the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) technique. Inclusions affecting the quality of steel products have been considered to be passive: the fluid flow has been obtained for unstaggered grid points defined on body-fitted generalized cuvilinear coordinates with no attention on inclusions, and the spatial propagation of inclusions has been determined by using the flow field data. The result show that the dam and weir direct the flow to the free surface and increase the residence time of inclusions significantly, and thereby that inclusions have much more chance to be floated to the free surface of the tundish where it is eliminated. It is also found that they offer more margin on the geometric design of exit nozzles connected to moulds. This finding is particularly important for twin casting operations where the quality of steel products from the two moulds be kept uniformly.

Immersed boundary method(IBM) is a numerical scheme proposed to simulate flow field around complex objectives using simple Cartesian grid system. In the previous studies, the IBM has mostly been implemented to fractional step method based Navier-Stokes solvers. In this study, we implement the IBM to an incompressible Navier-Stokes solver which uses SIMPLE algorithm. The weight coefficients of the bi-linear and quadratic interpolation equations were formulated by using only geometric information of boundary to reconstruct velocities near IB. Flow around 2D circular cylinder at Re=40 and 100 was solved by using these formulations. It was found that the pressure buildup was not observed even when the bi-linear interpolation was adopted. The use of quadratic interpolation made the predicted aerodynamic forces in good agreement with those of previous studies. For an analysis of moving boundary, we smulated an oscillating circular cylinder with Re=100 and KC(Keulegan-Carpenter) number of 5. The predicted flow fields were compared with experimental data and they also showed good agreements.

Dose optimization for Radioactive Occupational Personal (ROP) is an important subject in nuclear and radiation safety field. The geometric environment of a nuclear facility is complex and the work area is radioactive, so traditional navigation model and radioactive data field cannot form an effective environment model for dose assessment and dose optimization. The environment model directly affects dose assessment and indirectly affects dose optimization, this is an urgent problem needed to be solved. Therefore, this paper focuses on an environment model used for Dose Assessment and Dose Optimization (DA&DO). We designed a multi-layer radiation field coupling modeling method, and then explored the influence of the environment model to DA&DO by virtual simulation. Then, a simulation test is done, the multi-layer radiation field coupling model for nuclear facilities is demonstrated to be effective for dose assessment and dose optimization through the experiments and analysis.

Inspired by the success of the High-line project in New York, The Seoul Metropolitan Government launched a project to convert an overpass near Seoul station into a pedestrian park. Seoullo 7017 went through instant success after its opening in May 2017; however, there is a continuous controversy over its long-term impact as shown in the exemplary cases like the High-line project. This study aims for quantitative investigation through the comparative analysis between Seoullo 7017 and the High-Line in the perspectives of spatial configuration. Space Syntax was chosen as the analysis method for this research. Integration (3) in Space Syntax is known to have a high correlation with pedestrian volume; thus, by using this method, spatial structure was analyzed by comparing the statistically verified results of changes in the spatial structure of the Highline with those in Seoul. The results indicated that the influence of Seoullo 7017 was less than that of the High-line in terms of spatial configuration. The reason for this difference is spatial configuration between Manhattan and Seoul. The High-line is located in Manhattan which has an urban grid structure, whereas Seoul has non-geometric urban structure, the neighborhood unit in Korea. Also the center of the overpass isn't connected well with its surroundings.

This paper presents a parametric study on the free vibration analysis of a functionally graded material (FGM) circular plate with non-uniform thickness resting on a variable Pasternak elastic foundation. The mechanical properties of the material vary in the transverse direction through the thickness of the plate according to the power-law distribution to represent the constituent components. The equation of motion of the circular plate has been carried out based on the classical plate theory (CPT), and the differential quadrature method (DQM) is employed to solve the governing equations as a semi-analytical method. The grid points are chosen based on Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto distribution to achieve acceptable convergence and better accuracy. The influence of geometric parameters, variable elastic foundation, and functionally graded variation for clamped and simply supported boundary conditions on the first three natural frequencies are investigated. Comparisons of results with similar studies in the literature have been presented and two-dimensional mode shapes for particular plates have been plotted to illustrate the effect of variable thickness profile.

This paper presents a hybrid algorithm to solve the multi-objective path planning (MOPP) problem for mobile robots in a static nuclear accident environment. The proposed algorithm mimics a real nuclear accident site by modeling the environment with a two-layer cost grid map based on geometric modeling and Monte Carlo calculations. The proposed algorithm consists of two steps. The first step optimizes a path by the hybridization of improved ant colony optimization algorithm-modified A^* (IACO-A^*) that minimizes path length, cumulative radiation dose and energy consumption. The second module is the high radiation dose rate avoidance strategy integrated with the IACO-A^* algorithm, which will work when the mobile robots sense the lethal radiation dose rate, avoiding radioactive sources with high dose levels. Simulations have been performed under environments of different complexity to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, and the results show that IACO-A^* has better path quality than ACO and IACO. In addition, a study comparing the proposed IACO-A^* algorithm and recent path planning (PP) methods in three scenarios has been performed. The simulation results show that the proposed IACO-A^* IACO-A^* algorithm is obviously superior in terms of stability and minimization the total cost of MOPP.

본 연구에서는 피사체에 의한 산란, 초점에 의한 흐림, 기하학적 확대도 그리고 검출기의 특성이 반영된 유효검출양자효율(effective detective quantum efficiency, eDQE)과 유효선량을 평가하여 소아 흉부 X선 촬영 시 선량의 최적화를 위한 조사조건의 영향을 평가하였다. 100, 110, 120, 150, 180 cm의 FDD (focus-to-detector distance)일 때 관전압을 40 kVp에서 90 kVp까지 10 kVp씩 증가시켜가며 동일한 유효선량일 때 eDQE를 평가하였다. 그 결과 eDQE는 다른 관전압과 비교 시60 kVp에서 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 특히, 동일한 유효선량일 때 그리드가 없을 경우 상대적으로 매우 높은 eDQE를 나타냈다. 이는 그리드에 의한 산란선의 감소가 그리드에서 흡수된 유효 광자의 손실을 보상하지 못하기 때문이다. 그리드 가 없을 경우 FDD가 증가할수록 향상된 유효변조전달함수(effective modulation transfer function, eMTF)로 인하여 eDQE는 증가하였다. 국내 대형병원들의 대부분은 15개월 소아의 흉부 X선 촬영 시 그리드와 함께 100 cm의 짧은 FDD를 사용하고 있다. 그 결과 대부분의 경우는 국내 환자선량권고량(diagnostic reference level, DRL) $100{\mu}Gy$을 초과하였다. 이는 5세 소아 흉부 X선 촬영 시 150 cm에서 180 cm 사이의 긴 FDD를 사용하지만, 15개월을 모사하고 있는 표준 소아팬텀의 흉부 X선 촬영의 경우 100 cm의 짧은 FDD를 사용했기 때문이다. 따라서, 나이에 따른 소아의 흉부 X선 촬영을 시행하기 위한 적절한 조사조건이 확립되어야 한다. 본 연구 결과는 나이에 따른 소아 선량의 권고량을 설립하는데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
