Wave-body interaction is simulated using a developed code based on the flux-difference splitting scheme for immiscible and incompressible fluids and the hybrid Cartesian/immersed boundary method. A free surface is captured as a moving contact discontinuity within a fluid domain and an approximated Riemann solver is used to estimate the inviscid flux across the discontinuity. Immersed boundary nodes are identified inside an instantaneous fluid domain near a moving body, then dependent variables are reconstructed at those immersed boundary nodes based on interpolation along local normal lines to the boundary. Free surface flows around an oscillating cylinder are simulated and the computed wave elevations are compared with other reported results. The generation of a solitary wave by a moving wave-maker is simulated and the time histories of wave elevations at two different points are compared with other results. The developed code is applied to simulate body motion of an elastically mounted circular cylinder as a solitary wave passes the body. The force acting on an elastically mounted cylinder is compared with the force acting on a fixed cylinder. Grid independency of the computed body motion is established based on a comparison of results using three different-size grids.

본 연구에서는 차량-교량 상호작용 시스템의 고유진동수 변화를 분석하였다. 차량이 주행하는 교량의 동특성은 차량의 질량 및 진동을 무시하지 않는 경우 상호작용을 반영해야 하는데, 이때 시스템은 시간가변적이므로 고유진동수 또한 시간가변적인 특성을 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 차량과 교량을 각각 2자유도를 갖는 시스템으로 모델링하여 차량의 위치와 질량비 그리고 시스템 강성비에 따른 시간가변적 고유진동수를 산출하였다. 분석 결과 일반적으로 초기 고유진동수가 작은 시스템은 상호작용으로 인하여 증폭비가 낮아지는 추세를 보이나 상호작용이 발생할 경우 증폭비는 분기점을 보이며 비선형적 추세를 보이는것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 상호작용이 발생하는 시스템차수에 대한 이해가 필요함을 알 수 있다.

문자-음성 합성기 (Text-To-Speech, TTS)에서 해결되어야 할 문제점 중의 하나는 음소의 연결 부위에서 발생하는 불연속성이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방안으로 본 논문에서는 저역 여파기를 이용한 스무딩 기법을 적용하였다. 제안된 스무딩 기법은 스무딩의 정도를 제어하는 필터 계수를 현재 합성하고자 하는 문맥에 따라 결정하여, 경계에서의 불연속성을 효과적으로 제거하고 스무딩으로 인하여 발생할 수 있는 음성의 왜곡을 억제하였다. 스무딩 정도는 현재 합성된 음성의 불연속 정도와 주어진 문맥으로부터 예측된 불연속 정도를 통해 결정하였으며, 문맥으로부터 불연속 정도의 예측은 음소 정보를 입력, 불연속 값을 출력으로 하는 CART(Classification And Regression Tree)를 통해 이루어진다. 제안된 기법의 성능 평가를 위해 코퍼스 기반 연결(corpus-based concatenative) 문자-음성 합성기를 기본 시스템으로 사용하였으며, 청취 테스트에서 60%이상 의 청취자가 제안된 스무딩 기법을 통해 합성된 음성이 스무딩 기법이 사용되지 않은 경우와 비교하여 명료성과 자연성 면에서 우수하다고 판단하였다.

Piecewise linear (G01-based) tool paths generated by CAM systems lack $G_1$ and $G_2$ continuity. The discontinuity causes vibration and unnecessary hesitation during machining. To ensure efficient high-speed machining, a method to improve the continuity of the tool paths is required, such as B-spline fitting that approximates G01 paths with B-spline curves. Conventional B-spline fitting approaches cannot be directly used for tool path B-spline fitting, because they have shortages such as numerical instability, lack of chord error constraint, and lack of assurance of a usable result. Progressive and Iterative Approximation for Least Squares (LSPIA) is an efficient method for data fitting that solves the numerical instability problem. However, it does not consider chord errors and needs more work to ensure ironclad results for commercial applications. In this paper, we use LSPIA method incorporating Energy term (ELSPIA) to avoid the numerical instability, and lower chord errors by using stretching energy term. We implement several algorithm improvements, including (1) an improved technique for initial control point determination over Dominant Point Method, (2) an algorithm that updates foot point parameters as needed, (3) analysis of the degrees of freedom of control points to insert new control points only when needed, (4) chord error refinement using a similar ELSPIA method with the above enhancements. The proposed approach can generate a shape-preserving B-spline curve. Experiments with data analysis and machining tests are presented for verification of quality and efficiency. Comparisons with other known solutions are included to evaluate the worthiness of the proposed solution.

The Cycloconverter that the author is going to treat in this paper, has strong advantages over the D.C. Link Inverter in points of chattering torque problem and natural commutation. Thus, the Cycloconverter is expected to be well applied to large and low-speed machines which require better speed control at low frequency. But the control circuit of Cycloconverter has two weak points described as follows. 1) Because of its rather complicated control circuit, it is likely to be illoperating due to unexpected noise signals, thus the higher the accuracy and reliability of the circuit is required to be, the more the circuit may cost. 2) Because the load current is not purely sinusoidal, the Cycloconverter may possibly be destroyed in case of inaccurate convert switching resulted from the difficulties in detecting the load current-zero and the current direction at the moment. In this paper, the author first of all intends to design and build a modified VVVF-type Noncirculating Current Cycloconverter to which recently proposed control methods are applied for improving the circuit simplicity, the control performance, and the system reliability. And then, experiments for observing the output waveforms of the Cycloconverter which is controlled by Singled-Board Computer using 8086 16-bit microprocesser are carried out. Finally the author concludes the result of this study as follows. 1) By replacing the conventional analog control circuits such as Reference Wave Generator, Cosine Timing Wave Generator, and Comparator with softwares, a great circuit simplicity is achieved. 2) The output of the designed Cycloconverter changes its frequency very fast without showing discontinuity of its waveform, and this waveform characteristics enables the smooth speed control of Induction Motor. 3) The design control circuit of Cycloconverter can be applied to the systems of 12 or 24 pulses because of its short processing period.

Previous area-based stereo matching algorithms find the disparity by first computing the sum of squared differences (SSD) between corresponding points using a rectangular window, and then searching the position of the minimum SSD within the disparity range. These algorithms generate relatively many matching errors around depth discontinuities, since the SSD function may fail to search for the minimum because of varying disparity profiles in such areas. In this paper, in order to improve the matching accuracy around the depth discontinuities, a new correlation function based on robust estimation technique is proposed for stereo matching. In addition, while previous stereo algorithms utilize a single rectangular window for computing the correlation function, the proposed matching algorithm utilizes 4-directional line masks additionally to reduce the matching errors further. It has been turned out that the proposed algorithm reduces matching errors around depth discontinuities significantly. Experimental results are presented in this paper, comparing the performance of the proposed technique with those of previous algorithms using both synthetic and real images.

In general, discontinuity of metallurgical and structural points of weld zone could decline the fatigue strength. For the lightweight trend, the AHSS application in automotive chassis is in-progress. However, there are few research reports on AHSS welds fatigue strength in especially automotive chassis parts. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the effects of the factors affecting the AHSS welding fatigue strength. As the result, the stress concentration of weld bead is the most important factor for welding fatigue strength. For the enhancement of welding fatigue strength, we focused on reducing the stress concentration of the welding beads. So, we applied and proved the plasma welding process and GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) dressing method. It was verified by uniaxial fatigue specimen, fatigue performance increased from 40 to 60% by applying TIG dressing method compared to the conventional GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding). These results could be recommended the enhancement of fatigue performance of AHSS.

The aim of the present study is to develop an elemental approach based on the differential quadrature method for free vibration analysis of cracked thin plate structures. For this purpose, the equations of motion are established using the classical plate theory. The well-known Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) is utilized to discretize the governing equations on each computational subdomain or element. In this method, the differential terms of a quantity field at a specific computational point should be expressed in a series form of the related quantity at all other sampling points along the domain. However, the existence of any geometric discontinuity, such as a crack, in a computational domain causes some problems in the calculation of differential terms. In order to resolve this problem, the multi-block or elemental strategy is implemented to divide such geometry into several subdomains. By constructing the appropriate continuity conditions at each interface between adjacent elements and a crack tip, the whole discretized governing equations of the structure can be established. Therefore, the free vibration analysis of a cracked thin plate will be provided via the achieved eigenvalue problem. The obtained results show a good agreement in comparison with those found by finite element method.

It is well known that series arc faults in Low Voltage DC (LVDC) distribution system occur at unintended points of discontinuity within an electrical circuit. These faults can make circuit breakers not respond timely due to low fault current. It, therefore, is needed to detect the series fault for protecting circuits from electrical fires. This paper proposes a novel scheme to detect the series arc fault using Wavelet Singular Value Decomposition (WSVD) and state diagram. In this paper, the fault detector developed is designed by using three criterion factors based on the RMS value of Singular value of Approximation (SA), Sum of the absolute value of Detail (SD), and state diagram. LVDC distribution system including AC/DC and DC/DC converter is modeled to verify the proposed scheme using ElectroMagnetic Transient Program (EMTP) software. EMTP/MODELS is also utilized to implement the series arc model and WSVD. Simulation results according to various conditions clearly show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Time of flight diffraction(TOFD)법은 초음파의 회절현상을 이용한 검사방법으로 일반적인 pulse echo 법에 비해 검사수행 속도가 빠르며, 보다 알기 쉽게 결함을 유무를 표시하고 검사표면의 상태와 결함의 방향에 의한 검사 결과가 기존에 방법에 비해 안정적인 특징을 갖는다. 그러나 TOFD 법은 결함의 위치가 검사체의 표면 근처에 위치하는 경우 표면을 따라 전파되는 lateral wave의 영향으로 결함의 검출에 어려움이 따른다. 본 연구에서는 TOFD 법을 이용한 초음파 탐상 시스템을 개발하였고, TOFD 법의 단점이라 할 수 있는 표면 근처에 존재하는 결함을 보다 쉽게 검출하기 위하여 deconvolution 법을 사용하여 근거리 분해능을 향상시켰다.
