저수시 하천유량(Low Streamflow)의 추정은 하천의 수질관리, 용수공급계획, 댐 방류계획등의 수자원관리에 있어서 매우 중요한 부분이다. 이러한 중요성에 따라 Vogel과 Kroll (1989)은 저수시 하천유량을 추정하기 위한 여러 가지 확률분포함수를 제안하였다. 가장 흔히 제안되어지는 이변수 확률분포(Two-Parameter Distribution)로는 Lognormal 분포와 Weibull 분포가 있으며 이와 더불어 Three-Parameter Lognormal, Three-Parameter Weibull, Log Person Type Ⅲ 분포도 널리 사용되어진다. 그러나 이러한 여러 가지 확률 분포함수 중에서 가장 적절한 확률분포의 선택은 저수시 하천유량의 물리적인 측면과는 상관없이 주로 적합도(Gooness of Fit)에 기인된 통계치에 의해서만 결정되기도 하는데 이러한 경우 잘못된 가정을 받아들이는 확률이 높아짐에 따라 추정결과의 신뢰성(Reliability)을 감소시킬 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해서 Onoz와 Bayazit (2001)는 Recession Curve를 지수함수로 가정하고 최대 갈수 기간의 길이(Maximum Dry Period Length)의 확률에 대한 이론적인 결과치들을 사용하여 Weibull 분포의 특정한 경우에 해당되어지는 Power 분포를 유도하였으며 유도된 Power 분포의 매개변수를 추정하기 위하여 L-Moment 방법을 사용하였다. 또한 Onoz와 Bayazit (2001) 작은 유출량에서 확률분포와 잘 맞지 않는 경우 작은 유출량값에 작은 가중치를 부여하여 확률분포에 대한 영향을 줄이는 방법인 LL-Moment 방법을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 유역의 1번부터 5번 소유역에 대해 SSARR 모형을 이용하여 모의한 유출량을 이용하여 Weibull 분포, L-Moment방법에 의해 추정된 매개변수를 사용한 Power 분포, LL-Moment 방법에 의해 추정된 매개변수를 사용한 Power 분포를 적용하였으며 이들 분포의 적합도를 PPCC Test를 사용하여 평가해봄으로써 낙동강 유역에서의 저수시의 유출량 추정에 대한 Power 분포의 적용성을 판단해 보았다.

For the successful R&D and deployment of LED-based green energy lighting systems, the real-time power quality measurement of both various non-linear power signals including pulse waveform, spike waveform, etc and the undesired-signals including harmonics, sag, swell, etc is required. In this paper, we propose a low-cost power quality measurement (PQM) method for low- (60Hz-several KHz) to high-frequency (several tens KHz) power signals, which are generated by green-energy lighting systems, and implement a PQM testbed using TI TMS320F28335 MCU. The proposed algorithm is programmed using C in the CCS (Code Composer Studio) 3.3 environment and is verified using test signals generated by an arbitrary signal generator, NF-WF1974. In the implemented testbed, we can measure various non-linear current signals that LED SMPS generates, analyze harmonics by fast Fourier transform, and test sag, swell, and interruption using wavelet transform.

Modified product Consistency Test (M-PCT) has been developed as an alternative to other existing methods in determining the leachability of glass. M-PCT, the leaching method, is a hybrid of MCC-l and PCT, but can provide quicker sample preparation. Larger diameter glass sample (1.0-2.0 mm) than in the PCT method can be used so that the glass beads are more easily produced and cleaned. From the M-PCT, the total mass loss (ML) of glass, the normalized elemental release rate (NLi), pH value of leachate have been obtained. For some selected glasses in which leaching rates have been known, their chemical durablility have been tested using the M-PCT method. The results are compared to the literature data for the glasses. It is found that M-PCT method is reasonable and suitable in determining the leachability of Low and Intermediate level Radioactive Waste glass form, such as the pH, elemental loss and total mass loss.

This paper reports an adaptive positive feedback bias control technique for operational transconductance amplifiers to adjust the bias current based on the output current monitored by a current replica circuit. This technique enables operational transconductance amplifiers to quickly adapt their power consumption to various analog workloads when they are configured with negative feedback. To prove the concept, a test voltage follower is fabricated in $0.5-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. Measurement result shows that the power consumption of the test voltage follower is approximately linearly proportional to the load capacitance, the signal frequency, and the signal amplitude for sinusoidal inputs as well as square pulses.

This work aims to investigate on the low cycle fatigue life assessment, which is adopted on the strain-life relationship, or better known as the Coffin-Manson relationship, and also the strain energy density-based model. The low cycle fatigue test results of Alloy 617 weldments under $900^{\circ}C$ have been statistically estimated through the Coffin-Manson relationship according to the provided strain profile. In addition, the strain energy density-based model is proposed to represent the energy dissipated per cycle as fatigue damage parameter. Based on the results, Alloy 617 weldments followed the Coffin-Manson relationship and strain energy density-based model well, and they were compatible with the experimental data. The predicted lives based on these two proposed models were examined with the experimental data to select a proper life prediction parameter.

Generally accelerated life test is well known as one method to reduce reliability qualification test period. This test is conducted under the higher stress condition than normal condition. So it can save the test time by calculating the acceleration factor from the relationship between the worst stress condition and normal condition. This paper investigates the worst stress condition for the accelerated life test to increase the acceleration factor. Especially, we focused on the method to obtain effective acceleration factors under the worst stress condition. Moreover, we considered how to decide the worst stress condition by looking for the operating limit of this system. The acceleration factor can be estimated from the ratio of the kinematic viscosity in the normal condition and the worst stress condition, the lowest temperature, by using Arrhenius relationship. Through some experiments for a refrigerator's compressor, we were able to confirm how to increase acceleration factors and how to reduce the reliability qualification test period with minimum samples.

Engine oil is an oil used for lubrication of various internal combustion engines. The main function is to reduce wear on moving parts; it also cleans, inhibits corrosion, improves sealing, and cools the engine by carrying heat away from moving parts. In engines, there are parts which move against each other. Otherwise, the friction wastes the useful power by converting the kinetic energy to heat. Those parts were worn away, which could lead to lower efficiency and degradation of the engine. It increases fuel consumption, decreases power output, and can induce the engine failure. This study was conducted to evaluate the relation between engine oil property changes and engine performance for the diesel engine. This test was performed by using 12L, 6 cylinder, heavy duty engines. Low SAPS 10W30 engine oil (two type engine oils) was used. Test procedure and method was in accordance with the modified CEC L-57-T97 (OM441LA) method. In this study, TAN, TBN, KV and metal components, engine power, blowby gas, A_F were presented to evaluate the relation with engine oil property changes and engine performance. TAN, TBN, KV and metal We found that the components were generally increased but engine performance did not change. This results mean that property changes did not affect on engine performance because those were not enough to affect engine performance.

The deformation and fracture behaviors of both Al2O3 and Ni 4.5wt.%Al plasma thermal spray coating were investigated by an acoustic emission method. Plasma thermal spray coating is formed by a process in which melted particles flying with high speed towards substrate, then crash and spread on the substrate surface cooled and solidified in a very short time, stacking of the particles makes coating. A tensile test is conducted on notch specimens in a stress range below the elastic limit of substrate. A bendind test is done on smooth specimens. The waveforms of AE generated from the both test coating specimens can be classified by FFT analysis into two types which low frequency(type I) and high frequency(type II). The type I waveform is considered to corresponds exfoliation of coating layers and type II waveform corresponds the plastic deformation of notch tip. The fracture of the coating layers can estimate by AE event and amplitude, because AE features increase when the deformation generates.

Environmental fatigue of the metallic components in light water reactors has been the subject of extensive research and regulatory interest in Korea and abroad. Especially, it was one of the key domestic issues for the license renewal of operating reactors and licensing of advanced reactors during the early 2000s. To deal with the environmental fatigue issue domestically, a systematic test program has been initiated and is still underway. The materials tested were SA508 Gr.1a low alloy steels, 316LN stainless steels, cast stainless steels, and an Alloy 690 and 52M weld. Through tests and subsequent analysis, the mechanisms of reduced low cycle fatigue life have been investigated for those alloys. In addition, the effects of temperature, dissolved oxygen level, and dissolved hydrogen level on low cycle fatigue behaviors have been investigated. In this paper, the test results and key analysis results are briefly summarized. Finally, an on-going test program for hot-bending of 347 stainless steel is introduced.
