The spectral representation method is a quick and versatile tool for the generation of spatially variable, response-spectrum-compatible simulations to be used in the nonlinear seismic response evaluation of extended structures, such as bridges. However, just as recorded data, these simulated accelerations require processing, but, unlike recorded data, the reasons for their processing are purely numerical. Hence, the criteria for the processing of acceleration simulations need to be tied to the effect of processing on the structural response. This paper presents a framework for processing acceleration simulations that is based on seismological approaches for processing recorded data, but establishes the corner frequency of the high-pass filter by minimizing the effect of processing on the response of the structural system, for the response evaluation of which the ground motions were generated. The proposed two-step criterion selects the filter corner frequency by considering both the dynamic and the pseudo-static response of the systems. First, it ensures that the linear/nonlinear dynamic structural response induced by the processed simulations captures the characteristics of the system's dynamic response caused by the unprocessed simulations, the frequency content of which is fully compatible with the target response spectrum. Second, it examines the adequacy of the selected estimate for the filter corner frequency by evaluating the pseudo-static response of the system subjected to spatially variable excitations. It is noted that the first step of this two-fold criterion suffices for the establishment of the corner frequency for the processing of acceleration time series generated at a single ground-surface location to be used in the seismic response evaluation of, e.g. a building structure. Furthermore, the concept also applies for the processing of acceleration time series generated by means of any approach that does not provide physical considerations for the selection of the corner frequency of the high-pass filter.

Ground vibration is one of the most undesirable effects induced by blast operation in mountain tunnels, which could cause negative impacts on the residents living nearby and adjacent structures. The ground vibration effects can be well represented by peak particle velocity (PPV) and corner frequency ($f_c$) on the ground. In this research, the PPV and the corner frequency of the mountain surface above the large-span tunnel of the new Badaling tunnel are observed by using the microseismic monitoring technique. A total of 53 sets of monitoring results caused by the blast inside tunnel are recorded. It is found that the measured values of PPV are lower than the allowable value. The measured values of corner frequency are greater than the natural frequencies of the Great Wall, which will not produce resonant vibration of the Great Wall. The vibration effects of associated parameters on the PPV and corner frequency which include blast charge, rock mass condition, and distance from the blast point to mountain surface, are studied by regression analysis. Empirical formulas are proposed to predict the PPV and the corner frequency of the Great Wall and surface structures due to blast, which can be used to determine the suitable blast charge inside the tunnel.

2006년과 2007년에 한반도 및 주변지역에서 발생한 85개 지진($1.6\;{\leq}\;M_L\;{\leq}\;4.9$)의 지진원 상수에 대하여 반복 스펙트럼 역산법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 지진자료는 한반도 남부지역의 광대역관측소3성분 기록으로부터 추출한 487개의 S-파군으로 구성되어 있다. 지진파 스펙트럼 분석을 통하여 각 지진에 대한 모멘트규모를 결정하고, 이를 진원거리에 따른 모서리 주파수의 변화에 대비하였다. 모서리 주파수는 진원거리가 증가함에 따라서 감소하는 경향이 있고, 이러한 경향은 모멘트규모가 커질수록 줄어든다. 변위 스펙트럼에서 측정한 모서리 주파수를 겉보기 모서리 주파수로 정의하였다. 이러한 겉보기 모서리 주파수의 거리 종속성은 세계적으로 동부 캐나다 순상지와 발트 순상지에서 보고된 바 있으나, 아직까지 그 원인은 명확하지 않다.

본 논문에서는 광대역과 고이득 특성을 동시에 갖는 안테나를 설계하기 위해 코너리플렉터 안테나에 급전소자로 LPDA(Log-Periodic Dipole Antenna)를 결합시킨 CRLPDA(Corner Reflector Antenna feeding by Log-Periodic Dipole Antenna)를 제안하였다. 1,400 MHz ∼ 2,400 MHz에서 동작하는 CRLPDA를 설계하고 모멘트 법을 이용하여 설계안테나의 복사특성을 해석하였다. 설계된 안테나의 타당성을 검토하기 위해 CRLPDA를 제작하고 복사특성을 측정하여 계산결과와 비교하였다. 측정결과는 1.000 MHz 이상의 대역에서 VSWR이 2이하를 만족하였고, 이득은 전 대역에서 13 dBi 이상이었다.

Source parameters for forty nine recent earthquakes occurred in and around Korean Peninsula are determined and the relations among them are studied. The corner frequency and seismic moment are estimated from three different methods. The spectral fitting of the source displacement spectrum with the $\omega$-square source model of Brune(1970) and Snoke(1987)'s method are applied to all events and empirical Green's function method for two events are adopted. The source parameters determined in this study show different values depending on the adopted method and on the stations of which seismograms are recorded. It is interpreted that the disagreements principally originate from insufficient consideration of source radiation pattern and attenuation and amplification according to path direction. The corner frequencies and seismic moments are averaged to exclude the directional effects and other source parameters are estimated from the mean corner frequency and seismic moment. The static stress drops estimated in this study tend to be independent of seismic moment or magnitude for events above a certain size. For earthquakes with the size less than about 3.0$\times$10$^{21}$dyne-cm(nearly same as M$_{L}$=3.7), the stress drop tends to decrease with the decreasing moment. This fact suggests a breakdown of scaling law of source parameters below the threshold magnitude. The moment magnitudes calculated from source parameters appear to be slightly larger than the Richter's local magnitudes in the range above M$_{L}$=3.5.3.5.

Stress drops of Brune's single-corner ${\omega}^2$ source model were estimated for the earthquakes (2.0$M3.5{\sim}4.0$ and increase up to $M4.5{\sim}5.0$ above which the level of the stress drop could be assumed to be flat or decrease according to whether the rupture process accompanies buried fault or surface rupturing. The converted data of corner frequency and seismic moment were nicely fitted to the relation of $M_0{\propto}f^3$ but show systematically higher corner frequencies for $M_0>10^15$ Nm. This relationship enables systematic evaluation of a scaling relation between magnitude and stress drop. The inverted level of the stress drop is comparable to the recent studies conducted domestic and abroad. A result of lower stress drop estimated by Jun(1991) is supposed to be due to the use of low frequency spectra and existence of two-comer source model around the Korean Peninsula.

Research concerning gears included in rotating machines has been reported using the acoustic emission (AE) method, however, almost no research has been conducted using the AE method in regard to running gears in a bending fatigue processor spur gear teeth. Therefore, in this report, a power circulating-type gear testing machine was used and AE signals and crack length were measured in the bending fatigue process of case-hardened spur gear. Furthermore, the envelope of the AE signal was detected and various analysis were carried out in this data. In the course of the experiments, the following results were observed : the AE signal envelope consists mainly of contact frequency component and twice as many as this;two peaks of AE appear in each tooth contact by the tip corner contact ; as a result of the severe tip corner contact ; as a result of the severe tip corner contact with the sudden increase of crack length, AE signal becomes large.

Wind tunnel testing of a low-rise building with openings (holes) of different sizes and shapes on a roof corner is conducted to measure the internal and external pressures from the building model. Detailed analysis of the testing data is carried out to investigate the characteristics of the internal and external pressures of the building with different openings' configurations. Superimposition of the internal and external pressures makes the emergence of positive net pressures on the roof. The internal pressures demonstrate an overall uniform distribution. The probability density function (PDF) of the internal pressures is close to the Gaussian distribution. Compared with the PDF of the external pressures, the non-Gaussian characteristics of the net pressures weakened. The internal pressures exhibit strong correlation in frequency domain. There appear two humps in the spectra of the internal pressures, which correspond to the Helmholtz frequency and vortex shedding frequency, respectively. But, the peak for the vortex shedding frequency is offset for the net pressures. Furthermore, the internal pressure characteristics indirectly reflect that the length of the front edge enhances the development of the conical vortices.The objective of this study aims to further understanding of the characteristics of internal, external and net pressures for low-rise buildings in an effort to reduce wind damages to residential buildings.
