Data modelling and interpretation for structural health monitoring (SHM) field data are critical for evaluating structural performance and quantifying the vulnerability of infrastructure systems. In order to improve the data modelling accuracy, and extend the application range from data regression analysis to out-of-sample forecasting analysis, an improved most likely heteroscedastic Gaussian process (iMLHGP) methodology is proposed in this study by the incorporation of the outof-sample forecasting algorithm. The proposed iMLHGP method overcomes this limitation of constant variance of Gaussian process (GP), and can be used for estimating non-stationary typhoon-induced response statistics with high volatility. The first attempt at performing data regression and forecasting analysis on structural responses using the proposed iMLHGP method has been presented by applying it to real-world filed SHM data from an instrumented cable-stay bridge during typhoon events. Uncertainty quantification and correlation analysis were also carried out to investigate the influence of typhoons on bridge strain data. Results show that the iMLHGP method has high accuracy in both regression and out-of-sample forecasting. The iMLHGP framework takes both data heteroscedasticity and accurate analytical processing of noise variance (replace with a point estimation on the most likely value) into account to avoid the intensive computational effort. According to uncertainty quantification and correlation analysis results, the uncertainties of strain measurements are affected by both traffic and wind speed. The overall change of bridge strain is affected by temperature, and the local fluctuation is greatly affected by wind speed in typhoon conditions.

The effects of acoustic resonance and volute geometry on phase resonance are studied theoretically and experimentally using a centrifugal fan. One dimensional theoretical model is developed taking account of the reflection from the discharge pipe end. It was found that the phase resonance occurs, even with the effects of acoustic resonance, when the rotational speed of rotor-stator interaction pattern agrees with the sound velocity. This was confirmed by experiments with and without a silencer at the discharge pipe exit. The pressure wave measurements showed that there are certain effects of the cross-sectional area change of the volute which is neglected in the one dimensional model. To clarify the effects of area change, experiments were carried out by using a ring volute with a constant area. It was demonstrated that the phase resonance occurs for both interaction modes travelling towards/away from the volute. The amplitude of travelling wave grows towards the volute exit for the modes rotating towards the volute exit, in the same direction as the impeller. However, a standing wave is developed in the volute for the modes rotating away from the volute exit in the opposite direction as the impeller, as a result of the interaction of a growing wave while travelling towards the tongue and a reflected wave away from the tongue.

The characteristic ratio assignment (CRA) method〔1〕 is new polynomial approach which allows to directly address the transient responses such as overshoot and speed of response time in time domain specifications. The method is based on the relationships between time response and characteristic ratios($\alpha_i$ ) and generalized time constant (T), which are defined in terms of coefficients of characteristic polynomial. However, even though the CRA can apply to developing a linear controller that meets good transient responses, there are still some fundamental questions to be explored. For the purpose of this, we have analyzed several sensitivities of a linear system with respect to the changes of coefficients itself and $\alpha_i$ of denominator polynomial. They are (i) the unnormalized root sensitivity : to determine how the poles change as $\alpha_i$ changes, and (ii) the function sensitivity to determine the sensitivity of step response to the change of o, and to analyze the sensitivity of frequency response as o, changes. As an other important result, it is shown that, under any fixed T and coefficient of the lowest order of s in denominator, the step response is dominantly affected merely by $\alpha_1, alpha_2 and alpha_3$ regardless of the order of denominator higher than 4. This means that the rest of the$\alpha_i$ s have little effect on the step response. These results provide some useful insight and background theory when we select $\alpha_i$ and T to compose a reference model, and in particular when we design a low order controllers such as PID controller.

Sloshing is a phenomenon which may lead to dynamic stability and damages on the local structure of the tank. Hence, several anti-sloshing devices are introduced in order to reduce the impact pressure and free surface elevation of liquid. A fixed baffle is the most prevailing anti-sloshing mechanism compared to the other methods. However, the additional of the baffle as the internal structure of the LNG tank can lead to frequent damages in long-term usage as this structure absorbs the sloshing loads and thus increases the maintenance cost and downtime. In this paper, a novel type of floating baffle is proposed to suppress the sloshing effect in LNG tank without the need for reconstructing the tank. The sloshing phenomenon in a membrane type LNG tank model was excited under sway motion with 30% and 50% filling condition in the model test. A regular motion by a linear actuator was applied to the tank model at different amplitudes and constant period at 1.1 seconds. Three pressure sensors were installed on the tank wall to measure the impact pressure, and a high-speed camera was utilized to record the sloshing motion. The floater baffle was modeled on the basis of uniform-discretization of domain and tested based on parametric variations. Data of pressure sensors were collected for cases without- and with-floating baffle. The results indicated successful reduction of surface run-up and impulsive pressure by using a floating baffle. The findings are expected to bring significant impacts towards safer sea transportation of LNG.

Nanotechnology mostly employs nano-materials and nano-structures with distinctive properties based on their size, structure, and composition. It is quite difficult to produce nano-materials and nano-structures with identical sizes, structures, and compositions in large quantities, because of spatiotemporal fluctuation of production processes. In other words, fluctuation is the bottleneck in nanotechnology. We propose three strategies to suppress such fluctuations: employing 1) difference between linear and nonlinear phenomena, 2) difference in time constants, and 3) nucleation as a bottleneck phenomenon. We are also developing nano- and micro-scale guided assembly using plasmas as a plasma nanofabrication.1-5) We manipulate nano- and micro-objects using electrostatic, electromagnetic, ion drag, neutral drag, and optical forces. The accuracy of positioning the objects depends on fluctuation of position and energy of an object in plasmas. Here we evaluate such fluctuations and discuss the mechanism behind them. We conducted in-situ evaluation of local plasma potential fluctuation using tracking analysis of fine particles (=objects) in plasmas. Experiments were carried out with a radio frequency low-pressure plasma reactor, where we set two quartz windows at the top and bottom of the reactor. Ar plasmas were generated at 200 Pa by applying 13.56MHz, 450V peak-to-peak voltage. The injected fine particles were monodisperse methyl methacrylate-polymer spheres of $10{\mu}m$ in diameter. Fine particles were injected into the reactor and were suspended around the plasma/sheath boundary near the powered electrode. We observed binary collision of fine particles with a high-speed camera. The frame rate was 1000-10000 fps. Time evolution of their distance from the center of mass was measured by tracking analysis of the two particles. Kinetic energy during the collision was obtained from the result. Potential energy formed between the two particles was deduced by assuming the potential energy plus the kinetic energy is constant. The interaction potential is fluctuated during the collision. Maximum amplitude of the fluctuation is 25eV, and the average is 8eV. The fluctuation can be caused by neutral molecule collisions, ion collisions, and fluctuation of electrostatic force. Among theses possible causes, fluctuation of electrostatic force may be main one, because the fine particle has a large negative charge of -17000e and the corresponding electrostatic force is large compared to other forces.

본 논문에서는 다중입출력 가시광통신에서 플리커 현상을 완화하기 위한 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. LED 가시광통신은 LED의 광을 이용하여 데이터를 전송하는 기술로 조명의 역할과 동시에 네트워크 구축이 가능한 효과적인 방법이다. 최근에는 전송률 향상을 위해 다수의 송신 LED를 이용한 다중입출력 가시광통신에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 다중입출력 가시광통신은 송신 LED들 간의 광 간섭 문제와 수신부에서의 광 검출 문제, 서로 다른 데이터 비트를 전송하며 발생하는 플리커 문제점 등을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 전송률과 오류율 성능에 관한 광 간섭과 광 검출 문제는 많은 연구가 진행되고 있지만 조명의 역할을 위한 플리커 현상의 문제점에 관하여 많은 연구가 진행되지 않고 있다. 이러한 다중입출력 가시광통신에서의 플리커 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 전송 패턴의 변화를 이용한 PFM(Parallel Flicker Mitigation) 코드를 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 시스템의 플리커 완화 성능을 분석하였다.

태풍 말습전에 바다 연안에서의 해일(고조)을 예측하는 것은 매우 중요한 일이다. 태풍기에 한국에서는 해일피해를 어느 곳인가 매년 입고 있고 이로 인한 피해복구를 위해 정부에서는 막대한 예비비를 소비하고 있다. 우리나라에서는 아직 해일 예측 프로그램이 전무하므로 이 예측 프로그램을 개발하므로써 건설부, 상공부, 농림부 등에 기여할 수 있을 것이다. 최근 고속전자계산기의 발전으로 복잡한 수치해석이 쉽게 할 수 있게 되었다. 그래서 저자는 유체력자에서의 운동 및 연속방정식의 정시차, 정거리의 차분화법을 써서 해일예측 프로그램을 작성하였다. 입력자료로서는 천기도와 현안지점의 외해, 내해의 수심만을 쓰게 했다. 1976년 후란 태풍시를 대상으로 하여 모델로서 포항 내항에 본 프로그램을 적용한 결과 실측치와 거의 일치함으로 알았다.

열선유속계를 이용하여 디이젤 기관 연소실내의 한점에서 유속을 측정한 결과는 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 연소실내의 유동은 cylinder의 원주방향의 속도 성분이 크며, 유속변화는 밸브 timing과 피스톤 속도등에 밀접한 관계가 있다. 2. 유속은 흡입시부터 증가하여 압축행정중 흡입밸브가 닫히는 60$^{\circ}$ABDC에서 최대치를 갖고 이후 피스톤의 속도가 감소함에 따라 유속도 감소하여 팽창행정중 배기 밸브가 열리는 120$^{\circ}$ATDC에서 다시 증가하였다. 3. 평균유속은 shroud 밸브 사용시가 no shroud 밸브 사용시보다 낮지만 shroud 밸브 사용시 흡입행정에서 난류강도가 가장 크게 나타났다. 4. 90$^{\circ}$shroud 밸브 사용시가 120$^{\circ}$shroud 밸브 사용시보다 난류강도는 더 크고, 90$^{\circ}$shroud의 180$^{\circ}$위치에서 난류강도가 제일 크게 나타났다.(이 논문의 결론부분임)
