In this paper, we developed a pressure measurement apparatus with the parallel structure to improve the measurement efficiency of pressure sensors by reducing the measurement time of pressure. The developed system has two parallel positions for loading Silicon pressure sensor and has a dual valve structure. The semiconductor pressure sensors prepared by Copal Electronics were used to confirm the performance of the developed measurement system. Two stage differential amplifier circuit was employed to amplify the weak output signal and the amplified output signal was improved utilizing a low-pass filter. New apparatus shows the measurement time of pressure two times shorter than that of conventional one with the serial structure, while both structures show the similar linear output versus pressure characteristics.

추정된 채널 정보를 바탕으로 적용하는 적응형 비트 로딩 방식은, 전력선 통신 시스템의 고속화 및 대용량 데이터 전송을 위해 최근 대두되고 있는 LDPC(Low Density Parity Check) coded OFDM 시스템에 대해, 한정된 주파수 대역과 신호 전력의 효율적 사용을 제공한다. 그러나 적응형 비트로딩 방식은 한정된 수의 일정 SNR(신호대 잡음 전력비) 구간에 대한 mapping 방식으로 적용되기 때문에 송수신 과정에서 추정된 채널 정보를 이용하는 sum-product 복호기가 채널 변화에 민감하게 반응하지 못하는 상황이 발생하며, 결국 송신단에서 채널 추정 결과를 바탕으로 선택된 SNR 범위에 대해서는 실제 수신되는 신호에 대한 SNR과의 차이가 존재하고 시스템의 성능은 그 만큼의 성능 열하로 나타나게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 성능 열하 정도를 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.

Expansion joint is the absorbing structure when the upper structure of bridge have the drying shrinkage and creep from the change of temperature or construction badness. Because it has the fatigue from continuous vehicles traffic. the durability and performance is verified by the static and dynamic loading test In this study. we make the decision that T-MAT type expansion joint is applied in railway bridge and the expansion joint was tested by the criterion of Korea High Speed Rail Construction Authority.

In spite of recent advances in ballasted railway track, the correct choice of ballast for rail track is still considered critical because aggregates progressively deteriorate under traffic loading and environmental exposures. Various ballast requirements, functions and duties have been defined by researchers, railway companies and countries' regulations even though it needs to be integrated to make following proper decision during track operation and maintenance. A proper understanding of ballast properties and suitable tests are prerequisites for minimizing maintenance costs. This paper presents a capable classification for ballast characteristics which need to be investigated beforehand to such a way, firstly to assign ballast functions, secondly need to clarify ballast requirements, thirdly to map appropriate tests to evaluate ballast characteristics and then it must be such that if ballast cannot carry out one of these duties, be able to call there is ballast defect. The paper is structured in order to achieve these objectives.

GPU를 이용한 병렬 알고리즘은 어떤 메모리를 사용하는지에 따라 시스템의 전체적인 성능이 달라진다. 본 논문은 GPU 환경에서 실행되는 CUDA 프레임워크에서 병렬처리를 이용하여 문서 분류 시스템의 속도를 향상시키고자 할 때 메모리 로딩 시간이 전체적인 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영항을 연구하였다. 기존의 CPU 환경에서 구현했을 때와 비교하여 어느 정도의 성능 향상이 있었는지 실험하였으며 이전 연구에서 고려하지 않았던 메모리를 읽는데 걸리는 시간을 고려하여 현실적인 실행 시간을 비교하였다. 실험 결과에 의하면 CPU 에서 구현했을 때의 연산 속도보다 GPU의 텍스쳐 메모리를 사용하여 구현하였을 때 문서분류 성능이 향상되는 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The effects of fillers on the wet end dewatering and paper properties were investigated in order to confirm the possibility that the fillers can be used as a means for saving energy in papermaking process. The performance of GCC, PCC and talcs were evaluated. The dewatering in wire and wet press was improved by the increase of filler addition, but it was observed that the dewatering behavior was depended by the filler characteristics. PCC was superior to other fillers in the bulk, opacity, air permeability and stiffness while the lowest tensile and burst index were obtained. We found that the response on the wet end dewatering and paper properties were affected greatly by the filler characteristics including particle shape and size.

A narrow-band dual TE$_{111}$ mode circular waveguide filter for Ku-Band satellite transponder was designed and manufactured based on a new model of the filter. We calculated the cavity size, pin polarizer depth and diameter, iris length and width, and used Bethe's Small Diffraction Theory and Chon's Correction Formular in order to obtain exact Result for each cavity. The designed dual model waveguide filter was manufactured with invar in order to maintain the thermal stability, and the filter performance was improved through the thermal test and vibration test to endure in the cosmic environment.

Unreinforced masonry is widely used as a structural material in residential constructions and known to have poor seismic performance in the out-of-plane rather than in-plane behavior. In countries of lower seismicity such as Korea, it is necessary to check the possibility of the mode of the out-of-plane failure. Though face loading is a major cause of the failure of masonary walls, Korean Seismic Code does not include provision for face-loaded unreinforced masonry walls. This paper briefly reviews the concept of analysis for unreinforced masonry walls subjected to face-load excitation proposed by Priestley, and its applicatility to Korean case.

The George Massey immersed tunnel passes the Fraser River near Vancouver, Western Canada. In this paper, dynamic analysis of the tunnel on sandy soils was performed using an effective stress constitutive model called UBCSAND. This model is able to calculate pore pressure rise and resulting tunnel deformation due to cyclic loading. Centrifuge tests conducted at RPI are used to verify the model performance. Centrifuge tests consist of 3 models: Model 1 is designed for an original ground condition, Model 2 for a ground improvement by compaction method, Model 3 for a ground improvement by gravel drainage. The results of centrifuge Model 1 are presented and compared with predictions of UBCSAND model. This model well captured the results of centrifuge test and therefore can be used to predict dynamic behavior of similar tunnels or underground structures on sandy soils.

The main objective of this project is to define the ultimate bond performance of domestic prestressing strands in the precast prestensioned concrete beams. Eight specimens from four different companies were fabricated and tested in this study. Four-point loading tests were performed on the beams of domestic strands with an arbitrary anchorage length. The research has shown, that all seven specimens except one failed in bond are capable of developing their full flexural capacity and the strands within them are fully anchored even with the sudden transfer of frame cutting. Following results are summarized from the tests conducted. 1) All of the specimens are tested at an embedment lengths much shorter than those required by the ACI code, failed in flexure except one failed in bond. 2) It seems that the beam depth can not be an effective variable to estimate the bond length within these sections and length of specimens on this tests. 3) The development length with the stirrup space which are considered for correction factors in the equations of Russel and Paulsgrove, is fully accurate to determine the required length for the beam tested in this research.
