  • MOS (Metal-Oxide Semconductor) devices among the most sensistive of all semiconductors to radiation, in particular ionizing radiation, showing much change even after a relatively low dose. The necessity of a radiation dosimeter robust enough for the working environment has increased in the fields of aerospace, radio-therapy, atomic power plant facilities, and other places where radiation exists. The power MOSFET (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) has been tested for use as a gamma radiation dosimeter by measuring the variation of threshold voltage based on the quantity of dose, and a maximum total dose of 30 krad exposed to a $^{60}Co$ ${\gamma}$-radiation source, which is sensitive to environment parameters such as temperature. The gate oxide structures give the main influence on the changes in the electrical characteristics affected by irradiation. The variation of threshold voltage on the operating temperature has caused errors, and needs calibration. These effects can be overcome by adjusting gate oxide thickness and implanting impurity at the surface of well region in MOSFET.

  • In this study a new detection technique based on WAK is introduced that can be used for identifying unstable concrete sleeper installed in ballast by triggering activated wave on the sleeper surface. If a gap exists immediately below the concrete sleeper, static stiffness can be lower than stable case's stiffness. The concrete sleeper is assumed as a single degree of freedom system (SDOF). The static stiffness K can be obtained by iteratively calculated mass (m), stiffness (k) and damping coefficient (c) of SDOF system. Those coefficients are used to specify the ballast condition such as a gap between the sleeper and ballast. Typical test results using a small sleeper model test are summarized and explained for proof of effectiveness of the WAK test for checking unstable condition of the sleeper.

  • Hyperspectral data has a great advantage to classify various surface materials that are spectrally similar. In this study, we attempted to classify man-made materials in urban area using Hyperion data. Hyperion imagery of Seoul was initially processed to minimize radiometric distortions caused by sensor and atmosphere. Using color aerial photographs. we defined seven man-made surfaces (concrete, asphalt road. railroad, buildings, roof, soil, shadow) for the classification in Seoul. The hyperspectral data showed the potential to identify those manmade materials that were difficult to be classified by multispectral data. However. the classification of road and buildings was not quite satisfactory due to the relatively low spatial resolution of Hyperion image. Further, the low radiometric quality of Hyperion sensor was another limitation for the application in urban area.

  • Love wave and Rayleigh wave are the major elastic waves belonging to the category of the surface wave. The fact that Love wave is not contaminated by P-wave which makes Love wave superior to Rayleigh wave and other body waves. Therefore, the information that Love wave carries is more distinct and clearer than the information of Rayleigh wave. Based on theoretical research, the joint inversion analysis which is used both Love wave dispersion information and Rayleigh wave dispersion information was proposed. Purpose of the joint inversion analysis is to improve accuracy and convergency of inversion results utilizing that frequency contribution of each wave is different. This analysis technique is consisted of the forward modeling using transfer matrix, the sensitivity matrix determined to the ground system and DLSS(Damped Least Square Solution) as a inversion technique. The application of this analysis was examined through the field test.

  • The Hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) thin films are deposited to fabricate suppored layer on silicon substrate with a closed field unbalanced magnetron(CFUBM) sputtering system. This study focuses on the characteristic of Diamond like carbon (DLC) films and Pb(Zr,Ti)$O_3$ (PZT) films for membrane structure. The deposition rate and the surface roughness of DLC fims decrease with DC bias voltage. hardness is 26 GPa at -200 V. Interface of DLC/Si and Pt/DLC layers was excellent.

  • The success of road transportation, in dominating the surface movement of freight, is now threatened by increased traffic congestion, falling average motorway speed and rising in logistics costs, oil price. Due to the necessity for an effective transport system, we need to improve domestic transport infrastructure to reduce logistics cost by shifting to rail system. To analysis the demand characteristics in advance against these hypothetical circumstances, Stated Preference, which is called SP, approaches have been adopted to analysis the shipper's mode choice behaviors as RP(Revealed Preference) approaches are not appropriate. The results also indicate that the most effective policy to divert the freight volume from road to railway is to reduce freight rates for the railway with improved reliability.

  • The contact and messenger wire is important parts in the electric power system of the railroad. There are so many measurement method like voltage, current, scratch of surface, and glow longer of length. In this paper suggest real time monitering system of messenger wire so called RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) and this system includes CDMA module to transfer real time or saved data of memory to the end user directly who is in the long distance. The hyper terminal program of windows shows the downloaded data from RTU through CDMA communication and this data can be transferred to excel sheet easily.

  • In this study, the tempering effect on the wear characteristics of induction-hardened SPS5 steel was investigated. For this purpose, three tempering conditions were applied to control the hardness of heat-treated SPS5 steel. Ball-on-disk wear tests have been performed using zircornia balls on the tempered specimens to determine the variation of wear characteristics. The results showed that friction coefficient decreased with increasing hardness for induction hardening conditions. This seems to occur because real contact area between specimen and mating ball was affected by the specimen hardness.

  • This paper introduces method to estimate pollutant negative influence to polymer type insulator according to the international standard. To accomplish this goal, effective sample collecting method was surface was collected directly with the same dimension. Distilled Through this method pollute is easily and accurately collected. The second step is pollutant analysis. Several analyze item is selected such as quantity, conductivity, contact angle, Optical Microscope(OM), IR spectrometer(FT-IR), Equivalent Salt Deposit Density(ESDD), Thermal Analyzer(TA) and ICP-AES. The third step, best represent tunnel was selected considering location, length and natural surroundings. Also to consider the difference at inside the tunnel, several bracket insulators were selected along to the location. To make the result precise, above procedure was repeated several times at the same target. Finally relation among type of train, numbers of movement, surroundings, length will be considered in combination with the pollution. With this result pollute map for KORAIL could be accomplished and inspect period will be optimized case by case.

  • At the present time, civil structure based of aseismatic design in the Korea began about 1997. However, most of the railway bridge constructed with block and block in the past can easily deteriorate with time due to the increase of repeated traffic loading, increase of train speed, etc. In this study, soil properties of the substructure of railway bridge with block and block was investigated through the SASW(spectral Analysis or Surface Waves) and RCTC test in the field and laboratories. Also, stabilization of liquefaction after occurred earthquake was investigated through the Seed & Idress method use of N value and Andrus and Stoke method use of S-Wave velocity.
