This paper proposes the design and implementation of a system to provide a web-based ubiquitous 3D virtual reality education environment for secondary students to help experiment freely with safety by computer simulation in physics education. To realize this system, ThreeJS, one of the famous 3D graphics libraries based on javascript, has been used to support WebGL(Web Graphic Library). Hence the system became browser independent to give flexibility for most users. It is designed to make the mouse control change the position of the camera of the 3D graphics, so that the user can observe the virtual motion in various viewpoints. In contrast to the other local PC based education systems, this web-based system is much easier for distribution and management.
Fiber reinforced polymeric plastic (FRP) materials have many advantages over conventional structural materials, i.e., high specific strength and stiffness, high corrosion resistance, right weight, etc. Among the various manufacturing methods, pultrusion process is one of the best choices for the mass production of structural plastic members. Since the major reinforcing fibers are placed along the axial direction of the member, this material is usually considered as an orthotropic material. However, pultruded FRP (PFRP) structural members have low modulus of elasticity and are composed of orthotropic thin plate components the members are prone to buckle. Therefore, stability is an important issue in the design of the pultruded FRP structural members. Many researchers have conducted related studies to publish the design method of FRP structures and recently, referred to the previous researches, pre-standard for LRFD of pultruded FRP structures is presented. In this paper, the accuracy and suitability of design equation for the local buckling strength of pultruded FRP I-shape compression members presented by ASCE are estimated. In the estimation, we compared the results obtained by design equation, closed-form solution, and experiments conducted by previous researches.
ADHD(Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a common disorder of childhood, which exhibits symptoms of hyperactivity, impulse, having difficulty in concentrating, and being easily distracted. These symptoms lead many difficulties in childhood if left untreated, and last in adolescence and adulthood in some cases. This paper analyzes serious game technology based on BCI for ADHD treatment. BCI technology is implemented by acquiring EEG via device and sending commands into input-output device by signal processing. In order to apply serious games based on BCI, it requires building a database with relevant resources of analysis and study of ADHD infants and children behavioral patterns first. Based on it, it is suggested to design and develop serious games that are well balanced in fun elements and functional elements on the consideration of levels of difficulties.
The purpose of this paper is to examine the roll damping characteristics by bilge keels on the fishing vessel. Unlike other degree of freedom motions, roll motion is highly nonlinear. However the quantitative evaluation of roll damping combined with waves is very important for the fishing vessel. To reduce roll motion, roll motion stabilizers such as a bilge keel is used due to easy made and cheap cost rather than anti-rolling tank and fin-stabilizer. Authors paid attention to the shape of bilge keel and waves to grasp the roll damping for the fishing vessel and studied about the difference of tendencies of roll angle following the shapes of bilge keel. The model ship was the offshore large purse seiner and four types of bilge keel were used. The data from the experiments were provided and analyzed to investigate the rolling characteristics of the model ship being affected by the wave height, wave period and bilge keel shape. The results of the study showed that three types of the bilge keel have little effective, but only one has an effect on the roll damping. So bilge keel shape and its attachment method need to be a future study for the practical use in fishing vessel.

Ti and Ti alloys have been extensively used in the medical and dental fields because of their good corrosion resistance, high strength to density ratio and especially, their low elastic modulus compared to other metallic materials. Recent trends in biomaterials research have focused on development of metallic alloys with elastic modulus similar to natural bone, however, many candidate materials also contain toxic elements that would be biologically harmful. In this study, new Ti based alloys which do not contain the toxic metallic components were developed using a theoretical method (DV-Xα). In addition, alloys were developed with improved mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Ternary Ti-Ag-Zr alloys consisting of biocompatible alloying elements were produced to investigate the alloying effect on microstructure, corrosion resistance, mechanical properties and biocompatibility. The effects of various contents of Zr on the mechanical properties and biocompatibility were compared. The alloys exhibited higher strength and corrosion resistance than pure Ti, had antibacterial properties, and were not observed to be cytotoxic. Of the designed alloys' mechanical properties and biocompatibility, the Ti-3Ag-0.5Zr alloy had the best results.
In the case of the current ICH RC wind power tower, the design method is getting quite complicated especially if it gets higher. So we, based on the previous basic cross section designs of ICH RC wind power tower, have mapped out the tower structures considering the correlation between their heights and diameters in this research. The cross section dimensions along the tower height were designed according to recommendations of ‘Design Criteria for Concrete design (2012).’ The cross sectional diameter of the wind tower decreases as its location is higher, and this decreasing diameter accorded with the decreasing bending moment. All designed cross sections and tower modules were evaluated of their bending moment capacities and compared with the design moment. The analysis results and comparisons showed that all designed modules satisfied their required capacities.
Internally confined hollow reinforced concrete (ICH RC) wind power towers were designed for various turbines sizes. Their cross sections were designed to have equal diameters to those of general steel wind power towers corresponding 3.6MW and 5.0MW turbines. And also, the sections with the average diameter of 3.6MW and 5.0MW turbines were designed. For the determined diameters, several cross sections were designed for various hollow ratios. The designed sections were set to have almost equal longitudinal reinforcement ratios. The performance analyses for the designed cross sections were carried out and the analysis results showed that the ICH RC wind power tower had enough strength for the required design loads.
This study mainly treats a new type of the bracing friction damper system, which is able to minimize structural damage under earthquake loads. The slotted bolt holes are placed on the shear faying surfaces with an intention to dissipate considerable amount of friction energy. The superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) wire strands are installed crossly between two plates for the purpose of enhancing recentering force that are able to reduce permanent deformation occurring at the friction damper system. The smart recentering friction damper system proposed in this study can be expected to reduce repair cost as compared to the conventional damper system because the proposed system mitigates the inter-story drift of the entire frame structure. The response mechanism of the proposed damper system is firstly investigated in this study, and then numerical analyses are performed on the component spring models calibrated to the experimental results. Based on the numerical analysis results, the seismic performance of the recentering friction damper system with respect to recentering capability and energy dissipation are investigated before suggesting optimal design methodology. Finally, nonlinear dynamic analyses are conducted by using the frame models designed with the proposed damper systems so as to verify superior performance to the existing damper systems.
본 논문에서는 압전 수정진동자의 설계민감도 해석 및 위상 최적설계 기법을 개발하였다. 압전 수정진동자는 가해지는 전하에 의해 두께방향 전단 변형하게 되거나, 혹은 그 반대방향으로 기계 변형에 의해 전기적 신호를 검출하게 된다. 엄밀한 두께방향 전단해석을 위해 두께방향으로 고차 보간을 하는 고차 민들린(Mindlin) 판 이론을 도입하였다. 압전 수정진동자에서 수정판은 부도체이기 때문에 전기적 신호를 검출하거나 전기적 신호에 의해 수정판을 기계적으로 진동시키기 위해 수정판의 상/하 표면에 얇은 전극경을 도포한다. 비록 전극경이 매우 얇기는 하지만 그 무게와 형상에 따라 진동자의 거동이 달라지기 때문에, 설계민감도 해석 및 위상 최적설계를 위한 설계변수는 전극경의 질량 밀도와 관계된다. 따라서 위상 최적설계 문제는 두께방향 전단 변형에너지를 최대화하는 최적의 전극경 분포를 구하도록 구성한다. 또한 보다 의미있는 설계안을 얻기 위해 전극경의 재료량과 면적에 제약조건을 부여한다. 두께방향 전단 주파수(고유치)와 상응하는 모드형상(고유벡터)에 대한 설계구배는 고유벡터 확장법을 이용한 해석적 설계민감도 해석법을 통해 매우 효율적이고 정확하게 계산될 수 있다. 수치예제를 통해 제안된 해석적 설계민감도가 유한차분 설계민감도와 비교하여 매우 효율적이고 정확하게 계산됨을 확인하였다. 또한 위상 최적설계를 통해 도출된 최적 전극경 설계가 모드형상과 두께방향 전단 변형에너지를 개선시킴을 확인하였다.
