The concrete structures related to nuclear safety are threatened by accidental impact loadings, mainly including the low-velocity drop-weight impact (e.g., spent fuel cask and assembly, etc. with the velocity less than 20 m/s) and high-speed projectile impact (e.g., steel pipe, valve, turbine bucket, etc. with the velocity higher than 20 m/s), while the existing studies are still limited in the impact resistant design of nuclear power plant (NPP), especially the primary RC slab. This paper aims to propose the numerical simulation and theoretical approaches to assist the impact-resistant design of RC slab in NPP. Firstly, the continuous surface cap (CSC) model parameters for concrete with the compressive strength of 20-70 MPa are fully calibrated and verified, and the refined numerical simulation approach is proposed. Secondly, the two-degree freedom (TDOF) model with considering the mutual effect of flexural and shear resistance of RC slab are developed. Furthermore, based on the low-velocity drop hammer tests and high-speed soft/hard projectile impact tests on RC slabs, the adopted numerical simulation and TDOF model approaches are fully validated by the flexural and punching shear damage, deflection, and impact force time-histories of RC slabs. Finally, as for the two low-velocity impact scenarios, the design procedure of RC slab based on TDOF model is validated and recommended. Meanwhile, as for the four actual high-speed impact scenarios, the impact-resistant design specification in Chinese code NB/T 20012-2019 is evaluated, the over conservation of which is found, and the proposed numerical approach is recommended. The present work could beneficially guide the impact-resistant design and safety assessment of NPPs against the accidental impact loadings.

최근 이동환경에서의 고속 위성통신 서비스에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 요구를 만족시키기 위해 유럽 및 북미지역에서는 지난 수년간 Ku대역을 활용한 고속이동체 대상의 이동형 위성통신 시스템 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 이동형 위성통신 시스템은 수십 Kbps 정도의 전송속도를 제공하기 때문에 고속열차와 같이 다수의 그룹 사용자들을 대상으로 한 위성 인터넷 서비스 제공에 한계가 있다. 또한, 철도 운행구간에서 발생하는 N-LOS 환경에 대처하는 기술의 부재로 서비스 가용도가 크게 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 고속열차 승객을 대상으로 위성무선연동 전송기술을 이용하여 지상무선망과 동일한 수준의 끊김없는 인터넷 서비스를 제공하기 위한 이동형 광대역 위성 인터넷 접속 시스템에 대해 기술한다. 고속열차를 대상으로 이러한 서비스 제공을 위해서는 터널이나 역사(Railway Station)와 같은 N-LOS 환경에 대한 대처기술이 필요하며, LOS 환경에서도 철로상에 설치되어 있는 Electric Power Post 나 Power Bridge 등으로 인한 주기적이고 짧은 시간 동안의 신호열화 현상이나 고속 이동에 따른 도플러 현상에 대한 극복기술이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 시스템에서는 안테나 다이버시티 기법 및 갭필러와 지상무선망과의 연동기술이 적용되어야 하며, 상위 레이어에서의 에러 정정 기술이 적용된다. 본 논문에서는 위와 같은 기술이 적용되어 고속열차 승객들을 대상으로 한 위성인터넷 서비스 기술에 대해 기술한다.

PURPOSES : The desire of drivers to increase their driving speeds is increasing in response to the technological advancements in vehicles and roads. Therefore, studies are being conducted to increase the maximum design speed in Korea to 140 km/h. The stopping sight distance (SSD) is an important criterion for acquiring sustained road safety in road design. Moreover, although the perception-reaction time (PRT) is a critical variable in the calculation of the SSD, there are not many current studies on PRT. Prior to increasing the design speed, it is necessary to confirm whether the domestic PRT standard (2.5 s) is applicable to high-speed driving. Thus, in this study, we have investigated the influence of high-speed driving on PRT. METHODS : A driving simulator was used to record the PRT of drivers. A virtual driving map was composed using UC-Win/Road software. Experiments were carried out at speeds of 100, 120, and 140 km/h while assuming the following three driving scenarios according to driver expectation: Expected, Unexpected, and Surprised. Lastly, we analyzed the gaze position of the driver as they drove in the simulated environment using Smarteye. RESULTS : Driving simulator experimental results showed that the PRT of drivers decreased as driving speed increased from 100 km/h to 140 km/h. Furthermore, the gaze position analysis results demonstrated that the decrease in PRT of drivers as the driving speed increased was directly related to their level of concentration. CONCLUSIONS : In the experimental results, 85% of drivers responded within 2.0 s at a driving speed of 140 km/h. Thus, the results obtained here verify that the current domestic standard of 2.5 s can be applied in the highways designated to have 140 km/h maximum speed.

Dynamic irregularity and acceleration of bridges subjected to high-speed trains provide crucial information for comprehensive evaluation of the health state of under-track structures. This paper proposes a novel approach for real-time estimation of vertical track dynamic irregularity and bridge acceleration using deep generative adversarial network (GAN) and vibration data from in-service train. The vehicle-body and bogie acceleration responses are correlated with the two target variables by modeling train-bridge interaction (TBI) through least squares generative adversarial network (LSGAN). To realize supervised learning required in the present task, the conventional LSGAN is modified by implementing new loss function and linear activation function. The proposed approach can offer pointwise and accurate estimates of track dynamic irregularity and bridge acceleration, allowing frequent inspection of high-speed railway (HSR) bridges in an economical way. Thanks to its applicability in scenarios of high noise level and critical resonance condition, the proposed approach has a promising prospect in engineering applications.

The Overall Motion Sickness Incidence is applied to the hull form optimization of a wave piercing high-speed catamaran vessel. Parametric hull modelling is applied to generate two families of derived hull forms, the former varying the prismatic coefficient and the position of longitudinal centre of buoyancy, the latter instead the demi-hull separation. Several heading angles are analysed in a seaway, considering all combinations of significant wave height and zero-crossing period under two operating scenarios. The optimum hull is generated and vertical accelerations at some critical points on main deck are compared with the parent ones. Finally a comparative analysis with the results obtained for a similarly sized monohull passenger ship is carried out, in order to quantify, by the OMSI, the relative goodness in terms of wellness onboard of monohulls and catamarans, as a function of sea states and operating scenarios.

A model of an advanced aircraft electric power system is developed and studied under variable-speed constant-frequency (VSCF) operation. The frequency of the generator's output voltage is varied from 400-Hz to 800-Hz for different loading scenarios. Power conversions are obtained using 12-pulse power converters. To reduce the harmonic contents of the generator output waveforms, two high-pass passive filters are designed and installed one at a time at the generator terminals. The performance of the two passive filters is compared according to their losses and effectiveness. The power quality characteristics of the studied VSCF aircraft electric power system are presented and the effectiveness of the proposed filter is demonstrated through compliance with the newly published aircraft electrical standards MIL-STD-704F.

본 연구는 철로를 신설 또는 확장 시 목표로 설정한 지표를 최적화시키는 최적 노선구간을 선정하여 철도망의 네트워크 효과를 고려하는 방법론인 철도망 설계모형(Railway Network Design Problem, RNDP)을 이용하여 설계속도 수준별 고속철도망의 노선축별 분석구간별 투자우선순위를 선정하였다. RNDP의 목적함수를 총 통행시간 최소화로 설정하여 분석한 결과 투자우선순위가 가장 높은 고속철도망 노선축은 서동축이며, 다음으로 서해축, 남해축 순으로 나타났다. 또한 노선축별 최적안은 서동축의 경우 전 구간을 400km/h급으로 신선을 건설하는 대안이, 서해축의 경우 전라선 익산$\sim$여수 구간을 200km/hr급으로 고속화하는 사업을 활용하고 이 구간을 제외한 나머지 신선 구간(송도$\sim$익산)을 400km/h급으로 건설하는 대안인 것으로 분석되었다. 마지막으로 남해축의 경우에는 경전선, 즉 순천$\sim$마산 구간을 200km/hr로 고속화하는 사업을 활용하여 나머지 신선 구간(목포$\sim$순천, 마산$\sim$부산)을 350km/h로 건설하는 대안인 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구는 버스전용차로 설치로 인한 일반차로의 지체증가를 완화하기 위해 다인승차량이 버스전용차로를 운행할 수 있도록 해 주는 방안에 대하여 알아보았다. 연구 대상지는 버스전용차로에는 버스통행량이 적고 일반 차로의 지체가 심각한 대전의 두 지역(도안동로, 도안대로)을 선정하였다. 분석을 위해 Synchro를 이용하여 신호를 최적화 시키고 VISSIM을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 분석을 시행하였다. 현황을 정확히 모의실험 하기 위하여 운전자 행태를 반영할 수 있는 파라메터를 Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation(SPSA)알고리즘을 이용하여 최적화 한 후 분석을 시행하였다. 분석 결과 두 지역 모두 현재의 다인승차량의 진입을 허용하여도 버스전용차로의 정시성에는 크게 영향을 끼치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 도안대로의 경우 다인승차량이 버스전용차로를 운행하면 전체 지체가 떨어지는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 장래, 교통량이 증가하였을 경우 다인승차량이 10%정도 증가하여도 버스전용차로의 정시성은 어느 정도 유지할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 현재의 규제 위주의 교통수요관리 보다는 주어진 도로를 최대한 효율적으로 이용하고자 하는 노력도 중요하다. 향후 가로변 구간에 있는 버스전용차로의 다인승차량 허용에 대한 연구 및 다양한 교통량에 대한 세부적인 연구가 추가되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Correlation Filter was recently demonstrated to have good characteristics in the field of video object tracking. The advantages of Correlation Filter based trackers are reflected in the high accuracy and robustness it provides while maintaining a high speed. However, there are still some necessary improvements that should be made. First, most trackers cannot handle multi-scale problems. To solve this problem, our algorithm combines position estimation with scale estimation. The difference from the traditional method in regard to the scale estimation is that, the proposed method can track the scale of the object more quickly and effective. Additionally, in the feature extraction module, the feature representation of traditional algorithms is relatively simple, and furthermore, the tracking performance is easily affected in complex scenarios. In this paper, we design a novel and powerful feature that can significantly improve the tracking performance. Finally, traditional trackers often suffer from model drift, which is caused by occlusion and other complex scenarios. We introduce a relocation component to detect object at other locations such as the secondary peak of the response map. It partly alleviates the model drift problem.
