PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to estimate required minimum spacing between Freeway IC for high-speed roadways. METHODS : Since high-speed roadways with over 140 km/h design speed do not exist in Korea, VISSIM Simulation Program was used for analysis. Acceleration noise and conflicts were selected for Evaluation Index. Standard deviation size for acceleration and deceleration was calculated by VISSIM to estimate acceleration noise. Conflicts were produced in areas between Freeway IC with SSAM. RESULTS : As a result, required minimum spacing was 6 km for acceleration noise analysis, while 5 km was deducted for conflict analysis. For Model Evaluation, with SAS, conflicts did not show much difference in 5~6 km area by 90% confidence interval. CONCLUSIONS : For acceleration noise, results showed lacking in its discrimination between index per Minimum Spacing. However, conflicts were valid in difference; required minimum spacing was 5 km by validation result.

A new extrapolation method is developed and applied to the additive angular dependent rebalance (AADR) acceleration for discrete ordinates neutron transport calculations. With this extrapolation, the convergence of AADR solution for distinct discretizations between the high- order and low-order equations is remarkably improved and thus the “inconsistent discretization problem” is resolved. Fourier analysis is also performed to find the optimal extrapolation and weighting parameters, which give the smallest spectral radius. The numerical tests demonstrate that the AADR with extrapolation works well as predicted by the Fourier analysis.

Calculating the displacements of retaining walls under seismic loads is a crucial part in optimum design of these structures and unfortunately the techniques based on active seismic pressure are not sufficient alone for an appropriate design of the wall. Using limit analysis concepts, the seismic displacements of retaining walls are studied in present research. In this regard, applying limit analysis method and upper bound theorem, a new procedure is proposed for calculating the yield acceleration, critical angle of failure wedge, and permanent displacements of retaining walls in seismic conditions for two failure mechanisms, namely sliding and sliding-rotational modes. Also, the effect of internal friction angle of soil, the friction angle between wall and soil, maximum acceleration of the earthquake and height of the wall all in the magnitude of seismic displacements has been investigated by the suggested method. Two sets of ground acceleration records related to near-field and far-field domains are employed in analyses and eventually the results obtained from the suggested method are compared with those from other techniques.

In this study, the acceleration performance improvement was analyzed for a 2-speed transmission applied EV. An EV simulator was developed to analyze the EV acceleration performance. The EV simulator includes a load transfer model between the front and rear. Thus, the EV simulator can analyze the acceleration performance difference between the front-and rear-wheel drive EVs. From the simulation results, it is deduced that the acceleration performance can be improved by 7.96% for the front-wheel drive EV and 16.10% for the rear-wheel drive EV. The 2-speed transmission can improve the acceleration performance without decreasing its maximum velocity. Moreover, the 2-speed transmission can improve the acceleration performance of the rear wheel drive more than that of the front-wheel drive EV.

In this study, the response acceleration amplification according to different conditions was analyzed by changing the boundary condition of the soil called LSB (Laminar Shear Box), which is placed on a 1 g shaking table for earthquake simulation experiments. Experiments were carried out with different boundary conditions by fixing both sides of the LSB, and two samples were tested by installing an accelerometer at the same location. In addition, using DEEPSOIL v7 program, a one-dimensional ground response analysis was performed to compare and analyze with the free field condition. As a result, it was confirmed that the acceleration was amplified as it went from the lower layer to the upper layer, and as a result of comparing it with the ground response analysis, it was confirmed that it appeared similar to the analysis under the free field condition. As a result of the SA (Spectrum acceleration) analysis, a result similar to that of the ground response analysis was obtained, and in the case of fixing, it was confirmed that the PSA (Peak Spectral Acceleration) was further amplified.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of the dynamic behavior of slope through both 1 g shaking table test and numerical analysis. Accelerometers were installed in the slope model with different types of seismic waves. The numerical analysis (ABAQUS and DEEPSOIL) was used to simulate 1 g shaking table test at infinite boundary. Similar Acceleration-time history, Spectral acceleration (SA) and Spectral acceleration amplification factor (Fa) were obtained, which verified the feasibility of modeling using ABAQUS and DEEPSOIL under the same size. The influence of the size (1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 times larger than that used in the 1 g shaking table test) of the model used in the numerical analysis were extensively investigated. According to the similitude law, ABAQUS was used to analyze the dynamic behavior of large-scale slope model. The 5% Damping Spectral acceleration (SA) and Spectral acceleration amplification factor (Fa) at the same proportional positions were compared. Based on the comparison of numerical analyses and 1 g shaking table tests, it was found that the 1 g shaking table test result can be utilized to predict the dynamic behavior of the real scale slope through numerical analysis.

In this paper, we have proposed a prediction method for sabot-trajectory of projectile using high speed camera data analysis. Through analyzing trajectory of sabot with high speed camera data, we can extract its real velocity and acceleration including effects of friction force, pressure of flume, etc. Using these data, we suggest a prediction method for sabot-trajectory of projectile having variable acceleration, especially for minimum and maximum acceleration, by using interpolation method for velocity and acceleration data of sabot. Also we perform the projectile launching tests to achieve the trajectory of sabot in case of minimum and maximum thrust. Simulation results show that they are similar to real tests data, for example velocity, acceleration and the trajectory of sabot.

In this paper, the correlation between the accelerations measured at the track components and the parameters affecting the acceleration is analyzed. To do it, the accelerations of each track component such as rails, sleepers and ballast are measured in Kyong-Bu high-speed Line. The RMS values of the measured accelerations are calculated and the pad stiffness, the longitudinal irregularity, running velocity and the corrugation, are considered as the parameters affecting the acceleration. By using the linear regression, the correlation coefficients are calculated to analyze the relationship between the acceleration characteristics and the parameters. Also, the 1/3 Octave analysis is calculated to analyze the dominant frequency band of the accelerations of the track components.

Despite the innovative technological advances in the aviation industry, hard landing events that occur during aircraft landing account for 13% of all accidents. Hard landing when landing an aircraft affects normal operation by generating a large load on the landing gear and the fuselage. In order to identify these risk factors, the airline monitors the high vertical acceleration event, a precursor to hard landing, through QAR (Quick Access Recorder) flight data analysis, and prepares and implements mitigation measures. In this study, it is intended to contribute to safety management based on flight data analysis that identifies the characteristics of high vertical acceleration G event data that can cause such hard landing and detailed parameters of precursor signs, and to identify the causal relationship of the occurrence of the event by applying statistical analysis methods such as variance analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis models to identify the characteristics of the event occurrence and eliminate the cause in advance.

The securing safety of ferry ships on the domestic coast is evaluated by comparing the external force applied and the securing device based on the cargo weight and hull acceleration that can exist at the loaded position. The hull acceleration based on the domestic standard, which is the basis for securing safety evaluation, is applied without reflecting the characteristics of the ship and the sailing conditions. In this study, a total of 12 acceleration measurements were performed at four points of the hull of a ship with a DWT 6,800 ton class 15.5 knots passing through Busan-Jeju to analyze the hull acceleration of the domestic coastal ferry ship. Data were collected for the buoy. For a theoretical comparative analysis of the limited measurement results, the response amplitude operator (RAO) was analyzed through frequency-response analysis by numerical simulation, and acceleration analysis for the four points was performed using the RAO results. Based on the acceleration comparison, differences in the degree of each position were observed, but in the case of the Y-axis acceleration, the analysis was 1.81 m/s², and the measurement was 1.47 m/s². The analyzed simulation result was as high as 0.34 m/s². Moreover, analysis was performed at 22 % level, and measurement at 18 % level.
