In this paper, a singularity problem of the state transition matrix is investigated in the spatial propagation when the spatial matrix differential equation is constructed via time finite element analysis. A parametric study shows that the degree of singularity of the state transition matrix depends on the degree of flexibility of the structures. As an alternative to avoid the numerical problems due to the singularity, an analytic solution fur spatial propagation of the flexible structures is proposed. In the proposed method, the spatial properties of the structure are analytically expressed by a combination of transcendental functions. The analytic solution serves fast and accurate results by eliminating the possibility of the error accumulation caused by the boundary condition. Several numerical examples are shown to validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Fingerprinting is a widely used positioning technology for received signal strength (RSS) based wireless local area network (WLAN) positioning system. Though spatial RSS variation is the key factor of the positioning technology, temporal RSS variation needs to be considered for more accuracy. To deal with the spatial and temporal RSS characteristics within a unified framework, this paper proposes an extended signal propagation mode (ESPM) and a fingerprint generation method. The proposed spatiotemporal fingerprint generation method consists of two algorithms running in parallel; Kalman filtering at several measurement-sampling locations and Kriging to generate location fingerprints at dense reference locations. The two different algorithms are connected by the extended signal propagation model which describes the spatial and temporal measurement characteristics in one frame. An experiment demonstrates that the proposed method provides an improved positioning accuracy.

공간능력이 과학의 발전을 위해 중요한 요소임에도 불구하고 사회문화적 인식으로 인해 높은 공간능력과 낮은 언어능력을 가진 영재학생들이 미성취하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 국내에서는 영재 선발을 위한 관찰 추천 시에 교사들이 여전히 학업성취도를 많이 반영하고 있으며 높은 공간능력과 낮은 언어능력을 가진 미성취영재에 대한 관심이 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 초등학교 5학년 학생들을 대상으로 공간능력과 언어능력에 따른 빛의 직진에 대한 이해 정도와 과학학업성취도 간의 차이를 살펴보고 빛의 직진 이해에서 보이는 특징을 질적으로 분석함으로써 높은 공간능력을 가진 미성취 과학영재1)의 발견가능성을 탐색하고자 한다. 연구결과는 과학영재 추천 시 과학학업성취도를 중요하게 반영할 때 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 보여주며, 교육현장에서 높은 공간능력과 낮은 언어능력을 가진 미성취 과학영재의 발견가능성과 그들의 과학적 잠재력을 확인하기 위한 방법으로써 비언어성 검사의 활용 가능성을 보여준다.

Acoustic propagation in shallow water with changing environments is a major concern of navy. Temporal and spatial variability of acoustic propagation in the northern East China Sea (ECS) is studied, using the 11 years hydrographic data and the Bellhop acoustic model. Acoustic propagation in the northern ECS is highly variable due to extensive interaction of various ocean currents and boundaries. Seasonal variations of transmission loss (TL) with various source depths are highly affected by sharp gradient of sound speed and bottoms interaction. Especially, various bottom sediment types lead to severely degrading a waterborne propagation with bottom loss. In particular, the highly increased TL near the ocean front depends on the source position, and the direction of sound propagation.

The propagation of a truncated Airy beam with spatial phase modulation (SPM) is investigated in Kerr nonlinearity with an optical lattice. Before the truncated Airy beam enters the optical lattice, a sinusoidal phase is introduced on the wave-front of the beam. The effect of the spatial phase modulation and optical lattice on propagation behavior is analyzed by direct numerical simulation. It is found that the propagation direction of a truncated Airy beam can be effectively controlled by adjusting the values of phase shift. The effects of optical amplitude, truncation factor, spatial modulation frequency, lattice period and lattice depth on the propagation are discussed in detail. By choosing a high modulation depth, the finite-energy Airy beam can be deflected with a large deflection angle in an optical lattice.

There have been traditional approaches to model radio propagation path loss mechanism both theoretically ad empirically. Theoretical approach is simple to explain and effective in certain cases. Empirical approach accommodates the terrain configuration and distance between base station and mobile unit along the propagation path only. In other words, it does not accommodate natural terrain configuration over a specific area. In this paper, we propose a spatial prediction technique for the mobile radio propagation path loss accommodating complete natural terrain configuration over a specific area. Statistical uncertainty analysis is also considered.

Most codes of practice state that for large in-plane structures it is necessary to account for the spatial variability of earthquake ground motion. There are essentially three effects that contribute for this variation: (i) wave passage effect, due to finite propagation velocity; (ii) incoherence effect, due to differences in superposition of waves; and (iii) the local site amplification due to spatial variation in geological conditions. This paper discusses the procedures to be undertaken in the time domain analysis of a cable-stayed bridge under spatial variability of earthquake ground motion. The artificial synthesis of correlated displacements series that simulate the earthquake load is discussed first. Next, it is described the 3D model of the International Guadiana Bridge used for running tests with seismic analysis. A comparison of the effects produced by seismic waves with different apparent propagation velocities and different geological conditions is undertaken. The results in this study show that the differences between the analysis with and without spatial variability of earthquake ground motion can be important for some displacements and internal forces, especially those influenced by symmetric modes.

본 연구에서는 무주 남대천을 대상으로 재귀호출 알고리듬을 이용하여 제방 파제시 홍수위별 홍수전파 특성을 분석하였다. 먼저 벙구보와 차산보를 파제 지점으로 설정하여 재귀호출 알고리듬에 의한 홍수위별 홍수전파 차수를 분석하였으며, 홍수전파 차수별 격자수와 누계 침수면적을 계산하였다. 또한 홍수전파 차수와 DEM 격자크기를 기준으로 홍수위별로 홍수가 전파되는 시간을 계산하였다. 재귀호출 알고리듬에 의한 홍수전파 차수의 분포특성을 통해 홍수 전파 과정을 파악할 수 있었으며, 홍수전파 차수별 누계 침수면적 그래프의 기울기 패턴을 통해 홍수에 취약한 지역을 선정함으로써 수재해 업무에 기초자료로 제공할 수 있었다. 또한 홍수위별로 홍수전파 시간을 계산함으로써 홍수시 주민들의 대피경로 및 대피시간과 같은 계획을 수립하는데 매우 효과적인 정보를 제공해 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The evaluation of the seismic hazard for a given site is to estimate the seismic ground motion at the surface. This is the result of the combination of the action of the seismic source, which generates seismic waves, the propagation of these waves between the source and the site, and site local conditions. The aim of this work is to evaluate the sensitivity of dynamic response of extended structures to spatial variable ground motions (SVGM). All factors of spatial variability of ground motion are considered, especially local site effect. In this paper, a method is presented to simulate spatially varying earthquake ground motions. The scheme for generating spatially varying ground motions is established for spatial locations on the ground surface with varying site conditions. In this proposed method, two steps are necessary. Firstly, the base rock motions are assumed to have the same intensity and are modelled with a filtered Tajimi-Kanai power spectral density function. An empirical coherency loss model is used to define spatial variable seismic ground motions at the base rock. In the second step, power spectral density function of ground motion on surface is derived by considering site amplification effect based on the one dimensional seismic wave propagation theory. Several dynamics analysis of a curved viaduct to various cases of spatially varying seismic ground motions are performed. For comparison, responses to uniform ground motion, to spatial ground motions without considering local site effect, to spatial ground motions with considering coherency loss, phase delay and local site effects are also calculated. The results showed that the generated seismic signals are strongly conditioned by the local site effect. In the same sense, the dynamic response of the viaduct is very sensitive of the variation of local geological conditions of the site. The effect of neglecting local site effect in dynamic analysis gives rise to a significant underestimation of the seismic demand of the structure.

지금까지 교통류의 전파현상은 밀도와 교통량의 변화에 따른 충격파 이론을 사용하여 설명되어져 왔으나 서로 다른 차로간 교통류 전파와 같은 이질적인 교통류를 해석하기위해 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 고속 도로의 항공사진자료를 분석함으로써 합류부 구간과 엇갈림 구간, 기본구간의 교통류 전파특성을 시공간적으로 분석하고 차로간 교통류 전파해석을 위한 충격량 전파모형을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 사용하던 충격파 속도라는 척도를 이용하여 교통류 전파특성을 분석하고자 하였으나 전파특성에 대한 분명한 특징을 찾기가 어려웠고, 이러한 이유로 충격량이라는 새로운 척도를 개발하여 개발된 척도로 교통류 상태를 해석하고 적용하여 각 분석구간의 충격량 특성을 분석할 수 있었다. 분석된 3개 구간은 충격량의 특성이 공통적으로 발생하여 교통류 전파시 의미있는 임계치를 도출하였고, 차로간의 상호관계를 설명할 수 있는 요인을 파악하고 분석구간과 차로에 따라 다중회귀분석을 수행하여 충격량을 결정하는 차로간 충격량 전파모형을 개발하였다.
