A high embankment is generally constructed by dividing into several sub-embankments. Unlike any soil embankment, a rock embankment is constructed by means of dynamic compaction. Such a sub-embankment and dynamic compaction may induce an increase of pressure at the lower part of embankment and cause a different behavior of ground from initial status. In this study, settlement of a high rock embankment is estimated using a hyperbolic model taking into construction history. The results from prediction are compared with those obtained from field measurements and large plate loading tests.

This paper proposes the design of Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems (called VCPS) based on vehicular cloud for smart road networks. Our VCPS realizes mobile cloud computing services where vehicles themselves or mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets of drivers or passengers in vehicles) play a role of both cloud server and cloud client in the vehicular cloud. First, this paper describes the architecture of vehicular networks for VCPS and the delay modeling for the event prediction and data delivery, such as a mobile node's travel delay along its navigation path and the packet delivery delay in vehicular networks. Second, the paper explains two VCPS applications as smart road services for the driving efficiency and safety through the vehicular cloud, such as interactive navigation and pedestrian protection. Last, the paper discusses further research issues for VCPS for smart road networks.

We derived a theory of increasing electromagnetic force which acts on arc column for reducing arcing time between electric contacts. A simulation method of arc velocity is presented by calculating blowout force using 3D FEM and drag force acting on arc column. This paper proposes 3 types arc extinguish chamber of different flux path and presents the specific electromagnetic force and arc velocity of each model by the analysis. The result of analysis and experimental proposes the prediction method of arc time when all conditions are same except external magnetic field.

To develop more compact and light generators which have high capacity, the most important thing that should be considered is the inner cooling system. Under all circumstances, the temperature of rotor and stator windings must be kept below the maximum temperature of insulation to maintain reliability and prolong durability of the machine. Therefore, the development of more effective cooling system and the exact prediction of windings are essential to produce our unique generator model which is reliable and competitive in international market. In this study, the flow of cooling air and the temperature distribution of winding is analyzed by using computational fluid dynamics. This analysis can lead to optimize the structure of cooling system and predict a local temperature rise.

Micro end-milling has been becoming an important machining process to manufacture a number of small products such as micro-devices, bio-chips, micro-patterns and so on. Despite the importance of micro end-milling, many related researches have given grand efforts to micro end-milling phenomenon, for example, micro end-milling mechanism, cutting force modeling and machinability. This paper strongly concerned actual problem, micro tool deflection, which causes excessive machining errors on the workpiece. To solve this problem, machining error prediction method was proposed through a series of test micro cutting and analysis of their SEM images. An iterative algorithm was applied in order to obtain corrected tool path which allows reducing machining errors in spite of tool deflection. Experiments are carried out to validate the proposed approaches. In result, remarkable error reduction could be obtained.

The thermal system like a combustion chamber is believed to experience a significant instability problem with vibration in case that the thermal energy or the acoustic energy are transformed into a different form through a relevant path. This study deals with a numerically- predicted, Thermoacoustic instability in a Rijke tube by using a non-linear model for a heat source. The heating part where the energy transformation occurs actively is modeled after simulating two-dimensional cylinder case with constant surface temperature, and a nonlinear model that accounts for the transfer function of magnitude- and phase-characteristics is properly implemented so as to be dependent on the pulsation strength in the tube. The heat source model is observed to result in equivalent Thermoacoustic instabilities in the Rijke tube except low flow-rate cases in which the natural convection is dominant.

Since the surface temperature of the evaporating tube in an ammonia unit cooled is lower than the dew point of atmosphere, the moisture in the atmosphere condenses and the frost grows on the tube. The frost of liquid film decreases the heat transfer rate. The reliable analysis of the heat transfer is required for the prediction of the optimal design of the ammonia unit cooler. For the specific commercial model, the performance was numerical1y estimated for the variation of operating condition and geometric configuration. It is found that there exists an optimum range for the parameters such as mass flow rate of air and refrigerant, humidity, refrigerant quality, fin pitch, the number of step, the number of rows and the pattern of refrigerant path.

The optimal AP placement for wireless LAN is important factor for improving service quality and reducing cost. Logical area property, which is user's frequently posed place, must be considerated for flexible design. This paper proposes optimal multiple AP placement method based on path loss model which is one of radio prediction tool. The proposed method can got flexibility in multiple AP placement using user's defined parameter and tile optimization design uses Hopfield network algorithm The result of simulation shows that the proposed optimization design of multiple AP placement can improve service quality for wireless LAN.

본 논문에서는 도로 네트워크에서 이동하는 객체들의 미래 경로를 예측하는 방안에 대하여 다룬다. 기존의 대부분 미래 예측 기법들을 유클리드 공간에서 이동하는 객체들을 대상으로 한다. 그러나 텔레매틱스 등 다양한 응용에서 객체들은 도로 네트워크 상에서 이동하는 경우가 많으므로 이를 위한 미래 예측 방법이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 질의 객체의 현재까지의 이동 궤적과 유사한 경향을 가지는 과거 궤적들을 분석함으로써 이 객체의 미래 경로를 예측하는 기법을 제안한다. 우선, 도로 네트워크의 특성을 미래 경로를 다음과 같이 예측한다. 먼저, 이동 객체 데이터베이스 내의 과거 궤적들을 대상으로 주어진 질의 궤적과 유사한 부분 궤적을 갖는 후보 궤적들을 검색한다. 그 다음, 검색된 후보 궤적들의 현재 위치 이후부터 목적지까지의 이동 경로를 분석함으로써 객체의 미래 이동 경로를 예측한다. 작은 차이를 갖는 이동 경로들을 같은 그룹으로 간주함으로써 경로 예측의 정확성을 높이는 방안을 제안한다.

There are several kinds of service standards for 3G($3^{rd}$-Generation) wireless communication as WCDMA, CDMA2000 and WiBro(Wireless Broadband Internet). Especially WiBro Wave2 system is a marked currnt issue. In this paper, we describe on the cell plan tool to desgin WiBro Wave2 network. For this, we treat from basic theory to practical substance to produce new(or modified) path loss prediction model for 2.3GHz. And we explain the method how to implement new technology MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) deployed in Wave2 system. Also we emphasize on the importance of LOS(Line Of Sight) analysis in WiBro network design.
