Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) has commonly been used to strengthen existing RC structures. Wrapping the whole component with CFRP is an effective method and simple to execute. Besides, specific configuration of CFRP sheets (L, X and T shape) has also been considered in some experiments to examine CFRP effects in advance. This study aimed to provide an optimal CFRP configuration to effectively retrofit the beam-column connection using continuous material topology optimization procedure. In addition, Moved and Regularized Heaviside Functions and penalization factors were also considered. Furthermore, a multi-material procedure was also used to compare with the results from the single material procedure.

The absence of the nipple-areolar complex(NAC) in men are seldom stated, as a result of trauma, burn, mastectomy, or after the correction of extreme bilateral gynecomastia. A total of 50 healthy men aged 21 to 27 years were examined. We recorded the configuration (dimensions and shape) and the location of the NAC with respect to fixed skeletal anatomic landmarks. Of the 50 subjects examined, 44 had oval and 6 had a round NAC. The mean diameter for a round NAC was 24.3 mm. The center of the NAC was in the fourth intercostal space in 41 volunteers and in the fifth intercostal space in 9 of the subjects. To localize the NAC on the chest wall, at least three reproducible measurements proved to be necessary, composed of a horizontal line(distance from the midsternal line to the nipple, A), a medial oblique line(distance from the sternal notch to the nipple, B) and a lateral oblique line(distance from the acromioclavicular joint to the nipple, C). Using these three parameters, we recommend that the appropriate location can be calculated derived from the circumference of the chest.

Five-axis NC machining, in general, is utilized in fabricating impellers, turbine blades, marine propellers that can be machined more effectively rather than three-axis machining. There have been many researches concerning tool interference avoidance, optimization of tool orientation. The C-space or Configuration-space was originated from the robotics area, which depicts interference-free joint-values in motion planning. In the paper we propose an optimizing scheme by which the maximum effective-radius of a face-milling cutter can be achieved for each CC(cutter-contact) point. Also the concept of a C-space for a CC point, the effective-radius map for 5-axis face-milling, and some illustrative examples of marine propeller machining, are presented.

This paper suggests a measure constraint locus for characterization of the performance of a subtask for a redundant robot. The measure constraint locus are the loci of points satisfying the necessary constraint for optimality of measure in the joint configuration space. To uniquely obtain an inverse kinematic solution, one must consider both measure constraint locus and self-motion manifolds which are set of homogeneous solutions. Using measure constraint locus for maniqulability measure, the invertible workspace without singularities and the topological property of the configuration space for linding equilibrium configurations are analyzed. We discuss some limitations based on the topological arguments of measure constraint locus, of the inverse kinematic algorithm for a cyclic task. And the inverse kinematic algorithm using global maxima on self-motion manifolds is proposed and its property is studied.

본 논문에서는 고 전력 저 손실 특성을 가지는 소형 레이더용 Ka-대역 밀리미터파 2축 도파관 로터리 조인트 설계 및 제작하였다. 전기적 성능은 상온 S-parameter 시험, 고 전력 시험, 운용 온도 시험을 통해 검증하였다. 로터리 조인트는 기능적으로 구형 도파관에서 원형 도파관으로 변환하는 모드 변환기 구조 및 회전 부분의 초크 구조로 구성된다. 본 구조는 고정된 송신기와 2축으로 회전하는 안테나를 최소 손실을 가지도록 전기적 연결 및 경량화를 고려하여 설계하였다. 설계된 로터리 조인트는 중심 주파수 Fc 기준 ${\pm}500MHz$의 대역에서 VSWR 1.5:1 이하 반사 손실, -2.0 dB 이상 삽입 손실 특성을 가지며, 측정 결과는 설계 결과와 유사함을 확인하였다.

기중종단 접속함은 지중케이블과 가공송전선을 연결하기 위한 접속함으로써 옥외 변전소 등의 대기 중에 설치된다. 이는 21세기 핵심기술로 여겨지고 있는 대륙 간, 국가 간, 육지-섬을 잇는 HVDC 송전선로의 DC 그리드 송전망 형성을 위해 반드시 개발되어야 하는 전력기기이다. 그러나 AC용 접속함의 개발 사례는 다수 존재하는 반면, DC용 접속함의 개발 사례 및 기술은 일본과 중국 등에 일부 존재할 뿐 국내 기술은 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 AC용 슬립 온형 기중 종단접속함을 초기모델로 선정하여 HVDC 전력기기로의 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 먼저 실제 운전 시 기중종단 접속함 내 도체에서 발생하는 열에 의한 내 외부의 온도편차를 고려한 DC 전계해석을 수행하였으며, AC 전계분포 및 열 해석이 반영되지 않은 DC 전계분포와 비교하였다. 또한 DC 전계는 정상상태 뿐만 아니라 과도 구간도 포함하기 때문에 이를 고려한 전계해석을 수행할 필요가 있기 때문에 정상상태와 더불어 극성반전 후 전계분포 역시 비교, 분석하였다. 마지막으로, 기존 AC용 슬립 온형 기중 종단접속함 초기모델을 DC에 적용하기 위해 다양한 형상 변환을 통한 요소 설계를 수행하였다. 기중종단 접속함 구조 내 전계가 가장 집중될 것으로 사료되는 부분을 선정하여 그 지점들의 최대 전계강도 $E_{n.max}$와 $E_{t.max}$를 측정하였다. 해석 결과, 정상상태시 개선모델의 삼중점 최대 전계강도는 기준모델 대비 2.01% 개선되었으며, 연면 최대 전계강도는 기준모델 대비 36.68% 개선되었다. AC 전계해석 결과인 연면 전계강도 1.11 kV/mm보다는 33.3% 감소하였지만 삼중점 최대 전계강도 8.23 kV/mm보다는 아직 43.6% 크다는 점에서 부분적인 형상 변환이 아닌 DC 환경에 적합한 전혀 다른 근본적인 설계 개념의 변화가 반드시 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Seismic performance of critical facilities has been focused on the structural components over the past decade. However, most earthquake damages were observed to the nonstructural components during and after the earthquakes. The primary objective of this research was to develop the seismic fragility of the piping system incorporating the nonlinear Tee-joint finite element model in the full scale piping configuration installed in critical facilities. The procedure for evaluating fragility curves corresponding to the first damage state was considered the effects of the top floor acceleration sensitivities for 5, 10, 15, and 20 story linear RC and steel building systems subjected to 22 selected ground motions as a function of ground motion uncertainties. The result of this study revealed that the conditional probability of failure of the piping system on the top floor in critical facilities did not increase with increased level of story height and in fact, story level in buildings can tune the fragilities between the building and the piping system.

Several figures representing velocity transmission from joint space to task space are analyzed and compared with each other. The figures include velocity ellipsoid derived from Jacobian matrix, scaled velocity ellipsoid derived from normalized joint velocities, polytope derived by numerical scaling, and polytopes derived by linear combinations of Jacobian column vectors. The results show that the optimal directions given by the measures are not the same and the conventional velocity ellipsoid is not good choice as optimization measure as far as the moving direction is concerned. Simulation examples for 3 d.o.f. redundant robot manipulators in 2-dimensional task space are given for comparison study.

In this study, a FE model tuning method using experimental modal data was suggested after examining all the published conventional methods. The idea of this method is introducing scale factors to maintain both the structural connectivity and the consistency in the corrected stiffness matrix which makes it always possible to interpret the stiffness elements with the corresponding physical configuration of the targeting structure. The scale factors are determined to minimize the objective function of eigen-properties. The proposed method was tested to determine the joint stiffness of a T shaped beam. The test results were also compared with the tuned stiffness obtained from a probed commercial package (SYSTUNE) and found that this method is very accurate and compatible.

SVL is installed at underground transmission system to protect cables and insulation joint-box from overvoltages caused by lightning, switching, and line-to-ground fault. Domestic underground power system adopts cross bonding type to reduce the induced voltage at sheath, but single-point bonding is required depending the system installation configuration. SVL can be easily broken by overvoltages induced at joint-box because single-point bonding has uneffective system structure to extract fault current. ANSI/IEEE recommends Parallel Ground Continuity Conductor(PGCC) to prevent SVL breakdown. In this paper, EMTP simulation is performed to analyze effects on SVL under PGCC installation when single-line-to-ground fault occurs. The result shows that PGCC and short single-point bonding distance can reduce overvoltages at SVL.
