This paper presents the results of a post-tensioning test and analysis of a pyramidal unit structure that is basic element for space structures. The behavior characteristics was analyzed and compared with the numerical analysis and the mechanism in test model was confirmed with geometrical analysis. The results of this paper show that the behaviors of space structures can be predicted in multi-directional Mero joint system. And the authors suggest the possibility of erection and shaping formation with comparatively small post-tensioning, and space structure with the mechanism should consider the nonlinear behavior due to large deformation.

In this study, a practical holographic interferometric tomography system, which is instantaneous and non-contact for measuring three dimensional flow field, was developed. The system consists of holographic recording/reconstruction system, fringe analysis code and computational tomography code and it is developed with Gill environment for general users. The developed system was applied to three-dimensional natural convection from a discrete flush-mounted circular heat source on the bottom of a cubic enclosure. The heat source was located at the off-center of the bottom plate so that three-dimensional temperature field can be achieved. A set of multi-directional holographic interferograms was recorded by employing a double-reference beam, double-exposure holographic technique. Optical pathlength data were extracted from the recorded interferometric data and finally three dimensional temperature field inside the cube was reconstructed.

Work factor approach is conveniently used in metal fracture mechanics to determine fracture toughness from a single fracture test. In this work, we investigated the applicability of the work factor approach in order to determine fracture toughness of thick graphite/epoxy composites in the hydrostatic pressure environment from a single fracture test. The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the elastic work factor was studied, The stacking sequence used was multi-directional, [0$^{\circ}$/${\pm}$45$^{\circ}$/90$^{\circ}$]. The hydrostatic pressures applied were 0.1 MPa, 100 MPa, 200 MPa, and 300 MPa. The results showed that the elastic work factor was not affected by the hydrostatic pressure, The elastic work factor decreased in a linear fashion with crack length.

When one sensor cannot provide information by sensory deficit or loss, the sensory information can be provided by substituting other sensors for the defected sensor. This sensory substation might be influence on the deteriorated motion perception that consists of multi-sensory information such as visual, vestibular and somatosensory information. In this study, to investigate whether the additional sensation by sensory substitution could be integrated into the motion perception, we examined the effect of substituted postural sway sensation on the directional perception of body movement. Deteriorated motion perception by the reduced plantar sensation was enhanced under sensory substitution condition that provided the body sway information as the plantar vibratory stimulus. These results imply that the additional sensation might be integrated into and improve the motion perception.

In this paper, the dynamic stability evaluation of special bridge for high speed railway under ground excitation is performed. The mass, damping, stiffness matrices of bridge are derived from the modal frequencies and mode shape vectors which can be obtained by commercial program. And the high speed train is modeled as multi-single d.o.f models for the sake of vehicle-bridge interaction analysis. In the vehicle-bridge interaction analysis, the vertical directional interaction is only considered. As a numerical example, the 3 span Extradosed bridge which is expected to be installed in Ho-Nam high speed railroad is considered. The analysis results show that the example bridge satisfies the criteria of dynamic stability.

Recently, there are environmental issues for sustainable transportation system to pursue the energy-efficient and environment-friendly public urban transit. These transportation system needs to offer demand-oriented high-quality service being on the same level with cab service for urban space. PRT(Personal Rapid Transit), small track-guided vehicle, is repeatedly mentioned as a possible alternative for the new urban public transportion system, but but there are not many researches on the operational optimal routing for PRT network. In this paper, the concept of PRT and general optimal routing methods are reviewed. And we suggest the optimal routing method for city-wide PRT network with multi-vehicles and stations, junctions and directional arcs. Futher research directions for PRT routing are presented.

For multi-line insurance companies, allocating the risk capital to each line is a widely-accepted risk management exercise. In this article we consider several applications of the Euler capital allocation. First, we propose visual tools to present the diversification and the line-wise performance for a given loss portfolio so that the risk managers can understand the interactions among the lines. Secondly, on theoretical side, we prove that the Euler allocation is the directional derivative of the marginal or incremental allocation method, an alternative capital allocation rule in the literature. Lastly, we establish the equivalence between the mean-shortfall optimization and the RORAC optimization when the risk adjusted capital is the expected shortfall, and show how to construct the optimal insurance business mix that maximizes the portfolio RORAC. An actual loss sample of an insurance portfolio is used for numerical illustrations.

This paper proposes efficient system for multiview images using backward quadtree disparity estimation. Previous quadtree method usually divides current image. In this work, backward quadtree divides reference image. So, it does not need to code quadtree data. For backward quadtree, quadtree information map is generated. By using this map, adaptive dividing is possible. And, conventional bi-directional matching method is used with backward quadtree. These methods increase subject and object quality of decoded test images. For multiview images, panorama synthesizing method was used. Panorama image and right-most image are used for reference image for intermediate view images coding.

본 논문에서는 다수의 변환자 소자를 사용해서 빔을 역 초점화하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 64개의 소자를 사용해서 한 개의 소자에서 얻은 것과 거의 동일한 모양의 구면파를 얻을 수 있다. 이렇게 얻은 구면파는 합성집속에서 영상의 신호 대 잡음비를 높이는데 사용된다. 실험에서 제안된 방법은 영상의 해상도를 저하시키지 않고 신호대 잡음비를 크게 향상시킬 수 있음을 보여주었다. 특히 제안된 방법은 기존의 역초점화 방법에 의해 우수한 잡음 특성을 갖는다. 여기서 영상은 송수신의 양방향 빔집속에 의해서 얻었다.

A lot of valuable-piece of information are acquisited through ubiquitous sensor network(USN) system composed of man-made sensors. The telemetry system used for communicating to access informations between nature and human-beings monitors and estimates the status of infrastructure, utilities and natural environments to prevent hidden disasters, improving quality of life and productivity in multi-directional views. That would be the reason of USN subsistence. This paper will be a review on how to build long-term USN system. Therefore, this paper focuses on reviewing the sensor interface and the sensor network interface and its significance as the foundation stone for varying USN service profiles and showing its development example, and finally proposing a few of things to set up future-oriented USN open system.
