PURPOSES: The aim of this study is to analyze economic effect of bike-sharing after its introduction in Korea. METHODS: This study reviews current bike-sharing situations in Korea and other nations. We conduct surveys on bike-sharing system's bike usage patterns and economic benefits in Changwon and Goyang cities where public bikes are the most popular in the nation. Economic benefits are itemized after reviewing relevant previous studies. Then, the survey is implemented using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). Then estimated benefit is compared to the cost which is necessary for bike-sharing introduction and operation. RESULTS: Using the average WTP per household, the total economic benefit of bike-sharing is estimated as much as 1.75 billion KRW to 3.75 billion KRW in Goyang and Changwon city. Using estimated benefit, economic effect of bike-sharing are calculated as 0.69 and 1.00, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : The result of this study shows bike-sharing could be useful economic policy in Korea. However, economic effect of bike-sharing differs by city.

2-dimensional silica-silica Continuous Fiber-reinforced Ceramic.matrix Composites (CFCCs) were fabricated by a sol-gel infilitration method that has a changing processing condition, such as the repetitions of infilitration. In order to investigate the relationship between the processing condition and the mechanical properties of composites, the mechanical properties of specimens were measured by means of a 4-point flexural strength test while the evidence of strength degradation were microstructurally characterized. There seemed to be a minimum density value that existed at which the delamination between the fabrics would not occur. In the case that the density of silica CFCCs exceeded 1.55 g/cm3, the flexural strength also exceeded approximately 18 MPa at least. By applying the Minimum Solid Area (MSA) analysis of the porous structure, the correlation between the relative density and the mechanical properties of composites will be discussed.

In the elM construction of naval architecture industry, ship hull surface modeling is critical process of design/manufacture process. This paper describes a fairing process of ship waterlines to represent boundary curves which are input data of surface modeling. Among the fairing methods, Sapidis's method and Rong's method are used in sequential to fair the boundary curves. Also it proposed four methods of determining the magnitude of end tangent vector. Among the four end tangents the best one is chosen by comparing with the shape of near curves. An application to the actual ship hull is given as an example.

어선의 초기 설계 단계에서 필요한 초기선형의 선수미부 생성을 위하여 B-spline 곡선과 형상계수를 결합한 방법을 적용하였다. 선수미부의 각부분에 대하여 선형별로 형상계수를 선정한 뒤 이를 이용하여 B-spline 곡선의 정점을 구하도록 하였다. 선수부분의 경우 bulbous bow를 가지는 경우와 그렇지 않는 것으로 크게 분류한 뒤 bulbous bow를 가지는 경우는 수선면 근처의 형상에 따라 2가지로 분류하였다. 수선면보다 윗부분에 대해서는 bulbuos bow와는 무관하므로 이의 유무에 상관없이 직선으로 갑판까지 가는 경우와 곡선을 가지는 경우로 분류하여 다루었다. 선미부분의 경우는 수선면 윗부분은 transom stern과 cruiser stern으로 분류하였으며 수선면이하의 부분은 선미 bulb를 가진 선형과 shoe piece를 가진 선형으로 분류하여 다루었다. 형상계수는 각 경우에 따라 반드시 지켜야 할 점의 좌표와 기울기 등이 우선 선정되었으며 곡선부의 볼록한 정도를 조절해 주는 계수들이 선정되었다. 형상계수를 이용하여 곡선을 생성시킬 기법으로는 다항식, cubic spline, parabolic blending, bezier curve, non-algebraic function 등이 있으나 연속성이 충분히 보장되고, 국부적으로 변형이 가능하며, 불연속점이 정의 및 직선의 표현이 가능한 B-spline을 선택하였다
