PURPOSES: This paper presents a finite element model to accurately represent the soil-post interaction of single guardrail posts in sloping ground. In this study, the maximum lateral resistance of a guardrail post has been investigated under static and dynamic loadings, with respect given to several parameters including post shape, embedment depth, ground inclination, and embedment location of the steel post. METHODS: Because current analytical methods applied to horizontal ground, including Winkler’s elastic spring model and the p-y curve method, cannot be directly applied to sloping ground, it is necessary to seek an alternative 3-D finite element model. For this purpose, a 3D FHWA soil model for road-base soils, as constructed using LS-DYNA, has been adopted to estimate the dynamic behavior of single guardrail posts using the pendulum drop test. RESULTS: For a laterally loaded guardrail post near slopes under static and dynamic loadings, the maximum lateral resistance of a guardrail post has been found to be reduced by approximately 12% and 13% relative to the static analysis and pendulum testing, respectively, due to the effects of ground inclination. CONCLUSIONS: It is expected that the proposed soil material model can be applied to guardrail systems installed near slopes.

목 적：임상에서 많이 사용되고 있는 A(ionic contrast) 조영제와 B(Non-ionic contrast) 조영제를 사용 후 Breast 병변 환자의 dynamic검사 시 병변확인에 중요한 요소인 Time-signal intensity curve의 곡선변화를 분석하여 병변을 wash-out 으로 판단하는데 좀 더 효과적인 조영제가 어떤 조영제인지를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법：연구 대상은 본원에 Breast MRI를 위해 내원한 환자 중 종양으로 진단 된 환자 32명을 대상으로 하였고, 검사 기간은 2015년 6월부터 2015년 12월 까지 이었으며, 평균연령은 54.1세(35~67세)이었다. 장비는 3Tesla 자기공명영상장치(Magnetom Verio, Siemens, Germany)와 Breast코일을 사용하였으며, 영상의 획득은 T1 FLASH 3D 방법을 이용하여 검사하였고, Auto shimming 시행 후 조영제 자동주입기를 통해 ionic 조영제인 A(2ml/sec)조영제와 생리식염수(30ml, 2ml/sec)를 주입하였고 non-ionic조영제인 B(1ml/sec)조영제와 생리식염수(30ml, 1ml/sec)를 주입하여 영상을 얻었다. Time-signal intensity curve에 대한 분석은 Syngo MR MEAN CURVE Card(Siemens)를 통하여 평균 ROI의 직경을 5mm로 하고 Time-signal intensity curve의 peak time으로부터 기울기를 구해 비교 분석하였다. ionic 과 non-ionic 조영제의 Time-signal intensity curve 값에 대한 비교 분석은 Independent two – sample (T- Test)를 이용하여 통계학적으로 검정하였다. 결 과：Breast cancer 로 확진된 환자 32명의 ionic 과 non-ionic 조영제의 Time-signal intensity curve를 분석한 결과 ionic 평균 기울기는 -7.70(sd=4.78) 이며, non-ionic 조영제 평균 기울기는–12.45(sd=4.84)이였으며 ionic 과 non-ionic 조영제의 Time-signal intensity curve에 대한 T- Test 검정결과 P Valu 값이 0.01으로 두 그룹 간에 유의한 차이가 있음을 보여주고 있다. 결 론：병변판단에 중요한 기준이 되는 Time-signal intensity curve는 검사 시간에 따라 기울기에 변화를 나타낸다. 이러한 제한적인 시간내의 곡선변화는 병변을 판단하는데 있어서 중요한 요소이다. 따라서 임상에서 많이 사용되는 ionic contrast와 non-ionic contrast를 개별적으로 사용한 결과 non-ionic 조영제를 사용한 검사의 Time-signal intensity curve 기울기가 ionic 조영제를 사용한 검사의 기울기보다 좀 더 큰 변화를 나타냈다. 결론적으로 breast dynamic 검사 시 ionic 조영제 보다 non-ionic 조영제를 사용하는 것이 좀 더 유용하리라고 보여진다.

This paper presents a dynamic crack propagation algorithm with Rayleigh damping effect based on the MLS(Moving Least Squares) Difference Method. Dynamic equilibrium equation and constitutive equation are derived by considering Rayliegh damping and governing equations are discretized by the MLS derivative approximation; the proportional damping, which has not been properly treated in the conventional strong formulations, was implemented in both the equilibrium equation and constitutive equation. Dynamic equilibrium equation including time relevant terms is integrated by the Central Difference Method and the discrete equations are simplified by lagging the velocity one step behind. A geometrical feature of crack is modeled by imposing the traction-free condition onto the nodes placed at crack surfaces and the effect of movement and addition of the nodes at every time step due to crack growth is appropriately reflected on the construction of total system. The robustness of the proposed numerical algorithm was proved by simulating single and multiple crack growth problems and the effect of proportional damping on the dynamic crack propagation analysis was effectively demonstrated.

This paper is concerned with the numerical analysis of dynamic response of floating offshore wind turbine subject to underwater explosion using an effective non-reflecting technique. An infinite sea water domain was truncated into a finite domain, and the non-reflecting technique called the perfectly matched layer(PML) was applied to the boundary of truncated finite domain to absorb the inherent reflection of out-going impact wave at the boundary. The generalized transport equations that govern the inviscid compressible water flow was split into three PML equations by introducing the direction-wise absorption coefficients and state variables. The fluid-structure interaction problem that is composed of the wind turbine and the sea water flow was solved by the iterative coupled Eulerian FVM and Largangian FEM. And, the explosion-induced hydrodynamic pressure was calculated by JWL(Jones-Wilkins-Lee) equation of state. Through the numerical experiment, the hydrodynamic pressure and the structural dynamic response were investigated. It has been confirmed that the case using PML technique provides more reliable numerical results than the case without using PML technique.

The study investigates the effect of different types of visual images, i.e., static images versus dynamic images, on English vocabulary learning. Eighty-four students in the fourth grade of an elementary school participated in this study, and they were divided into two experimental groups and a control group. One of the experimental groups utilized static images, and the other group, videos as dynamic images in vocabulary learning. The control group was provided with the definition or the explanation of each target word in L1. The results of the study manifested that the static image group showed higher scores for the post test than the dynamic image group. The comparison of the pre and post affective tests demonstrated that the static image group showed an improvement in confidence in language learning and the dynamic image group showed positive change in the attitude of all three areas: interest, confidence, and aroused motivation. The analysis of the open-ended questionnaires showed that many participants in the static image group tended to use pictures as retrieval cues to remember vocabulary.

Background: In previous studies regarding flexible pes planus, Foot orthosis, special shoes have been used as interventions for correcting malalignment and intrinsic muscles strengthening exercise have been regarded as interventions for foot function and supporting medial longitudinal arch during walking. However, some recent studies reported that strengthening extrinsic muscles as well as intrinsic muscles is more effective and active intervention for flexible pes planus. In particular, the tibialis posterior muscle of foot extrinsic muscles plays essential roles in maintaining the medial longitudinal arch during dynamic weight bearing and balance. In addition this muscle acts longer than other supination muscles during the stance phase in the gait cycle. Objects: This study aimed to investigate the effect of foot intrinsic muscle and tibialis posterior muscle strengthening exercise for plantar pressure and dynamic balance in adults with flexible pes planus. Methods: 16 young flexible pes planus adults (7 males, 9 females) were recruited and were randomized into two groups. The experimental group performed foot intrinsic muscle and tibialis posterior muscle strengthening training, the control group performed only foot intrinsic muscle strengthening training. All groups received strengthening training for 30 minutes five times a week for six weeks. Results: The experimental group had significantly lower plantar pressure of medial heel area than the control group in stand (p<.05). The experimental group had significantly higher dynamic balance ability than control group (p<.05). Conclusion: The results of this study provide evidence to suggest that foot intrinsic muscle and tibialis posterior muscle of extrinsic muscle strengthening exercises may improve plantar pressure distribution and dynamic balance ability in adults with flexible pes planus.

Background: Deficiencies in the ability to maintain balance are common in elderly. Augmented feedback such as knowledge of results (KR) can accelerate learning and mastering a motor skill in older people. Objects: We designed this study to examine whether one session of Wii-Fit game with self-regulated KR is effective for elderly people, and to compare the effect of two different timings of self-regulated KR conditions. Methods: Thirty-nine community-dwelling elders, not living in hospice care or a nursing home, participated in this study. During acquisition, two groups of volunteers were trained in 10 blocks of a dynamic balancing task under the following 2 conditions, respectively: (a) a pre-trial self-regulated KR (n1=18), or (b) a post-trial self-regulated KR (n2=21). Immediate retention tests and delayed retention tests of balancing performance were administered in 15 minutes and 24 hours following acquisition period, respectively. Results: In both groups, significant improvements of balancing performances scores were observed during the acquisition period. Regardless of the group, mean of balancing performance scores on retention tests were well-maintained from the final session. There were no significant differences between groups in balancing performance scores during the acquisition period (p>.05); however, the post-trial self-regulated KR group exhibited significantly higher balancing performance scores in both the immediate retention test and delayed retention test than that of the pre-trial self-regulated KR group (p<.05). Conclusion: Therefore, subjects who regulated their feedback after a dynamic balancing task, during the acquisition period, experienced more efficient motor learning during the retention period than did subjects who regulated their feedback before a dynamic balancing task. Accordingly, in case of presenting the KR of motor learning in clinical settings to elders who reduced dynamic balance abilities, the requesting time of KR is imperative according to self-estimation processes as well as types of KR and practice.

One of the important advantages of Thermosonics is that it can be applied to complex structures such as a turbine blade as a convenient and quick screening test method. For a reliable thermosonic test, the vibrational characteristics of the system comprising the tested structure and the clamp at ultrasonic frequency range should be identified. Therefore, this study presented the analysis results of frequency response functions and mode shapes of the turbine blade and clamp system and investigate the possibility of the reliable excitation system for the thermosonic test.

Omni-directional high dynamic range images are used in image-based lighting or environment mapping. In game development environment high dynamic images can be used with shader assets. Recently various 360 VR camera systems are produced which can capture omni-directional images or video images without extra image stitching. In game development environment, shader assets or assets for shaders can be made along very time-consuming complex processes. In this paper, we proposed more simple and autonomous conversion system which can use directly in Unity.

This study analyze the dynamic response property of latticed domes according to natural frequency ratio of substructure. Through eigenvalue analysis, it is was confirmed that the half-open angle 30° and 45° dominate vibration mode of the vertical direction and the half-open angle 60° and 90° dominate vibration mode of the horizontal direction. Through the dynamic response analysis, it is was confirmed that the first frequency about total structure largely appears about the vertical and the horizontal direction regardless of half-open angle.

Soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI) is one of the important issues in the seismic design for evaluating the exact behavior of the system. A seismic design of a structure can be more precise and economical, provided that the effect of SFSI is properly taken into account. In this study, a series of the dynamic centrifuge tests were performed to compare the seismic response of the single degree of freedom(SDOF) structure on the various types of the foundation. The shallow and pile foundations were made up of diverse mass and different conjunctive condition, respectively. The test specimen consisted of dry sand deposit, foundation, and SDOF structure in a centrifuge box. Several types of earthquake motions were sequentially applied to the test specimen from weak to strong intensity of them, which is known as a stage test. Results from the centrifuge tests showed that the seismic responses of the SDOF structure on the shallow foundation and disconnected pile foundation decreased by the foundation rocking. On the other hand, those on the connected pile foundation gradually increased with intensity of input motion. The allowable displacement of the foundation under the strong earthquake, the shallow and the disconnected pile foundation, have an advantage in dissipating the earthquake energy for the seismic design.

본 연구에서는 신용카드 결제에서 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 자기띠 방식 카드의 기능을 전자적으로 모사하는 동적자장모사장치의 개발을 제안한다. 동적자장모사장치를 신용카드에 활용하여 결제가 필요한 경우에만 활성화하면, 정적으로 노출되어 있는 자기띠를 사용하는 기존 카드가 개인정보의 위/변조에 취약한 단점을 극복할 수 있게 된다. 또한 일회용비밀번호(OTP) 기능과 결합하면, 결제마다 가상의 카드번호를 사용하게 되어 위/변조를 원천적으로 예방할 수도 있다. 기술의 발전으로 다양한 결제방식이 제안되고 있으나, 실제 시장 보급은 매우 느리다. 이와 같은 이유는 여러 가지가 있지만, 결제 기반체계의 교체에 천문학적인 비용이 소요되는 문제가 가장 큰 요인으로 꼽히고 있다. 동적자장모사장치가 신용카드 두께 규격을 충족하면, 기존 결 제 기반체계를 그대로 활용할 수 있어, 한 장의 카드에 여러 카드를 담는 등의 스마트 멀티카드 기술 등의 다양한 핀테크 기술의 활용이 용이해진다는 장점이 있다.

본 연구에서는 마커없이 구조물의 변위를 측정할 수 있는 영상기반 변위계측 시스템(NVDMS)을 제안한다. 기존의 방식 과 제안하는 NVDMS는 크게 두 가지의 차이점이 있다. 첫째, NVDMS는 마커를 사용하지 않고 구조물의 특징점의 픽셀좌 표 변화를 추출한다. 둘째, 특징점의 픽셀좌표를 물리좌표로 변환하는 scaling factor는 기존 방식에선 마커의 크기로부터 계 산되는 반면, NVDMS에서는 카메라와 구조물사이의 거리, 각도, 초점거리로 계산된다. 3층 축소모형의 자유진동 실험에서 제안한 NVDMS로부터 얻은 변위데이터의 신뢰도를 분석하기 위해 LDS로부터 얻은 변위데이터의 비교를 하였으며, 얻어진 변위데이터를 이용하여 동특성을 분석하였다. 분석결과 NVDMS는 마커없이 구조물의 동적변위를 정밀하게 측정가능할 뿐 만 아니라 얻어진 변위데이터로부터 추출한 동특성의 신뢰도 또한 높았다.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of the dynamic immersion test (DIT) through digital image analysis (DIA). METHODS : The asphalt binder retained post DIT was inspected visually by more than three investigators. However, because visual observations can be subjective, depending on the inspector’s skills and knowledge, DIA was also performed. The threshold value for the DIA was determined by a mesh analysis, in which the digital image to be analyzed is divided into very small meshes. In addition, the bitumen bond strength (BBS) test was also performed to the compare the visual results with the mechanical values. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS : Depending on the materials used, various methods can be used to predict the behavior of retained asphalt. However, the increasing ratio in the trend of retained asphalt shows different behaviors among the evaluation methods. In this study, the results of the visual observations were significantly different from those of the DIA, the mesh analysis, and the BBS tests. Thus, DIA is an appropriate method for evaluating the results of the DIT. However, in order to use this technique in the field, it is necessary to determine a more reasonable threshold value by performing DIA on various materials.

URPOSES: The objective of this study was to develop an impact resonance (IR) test procedure for thin disk-shaped specimens in order to determine the ⎢E*⎢ and phase angle values of various asphalt mixtures. METHODS: An IR test procedure was developed for evaluating thin disk-shaped specimens, in order to determine the dynamic modulus (⎢E*⎢) of various asphalt mixtures. The IR test method that was developed to determine the elastic modulus values of Portland cement concrete was evaluated, which method uses axisymmetric flexural vibration proposed by Leming et al. (1996). The IR tests were performed on three different mixtures of New York with varying nominal maximum aggregate sizes (NY9.5, NY19, and NY25) at six different temperatures (10 - 60℃). The ⎢E*⎢ values obtained from the IR tests were compared with those determined by the commonly used AASHTO T342-11 test. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS : The IR test method was employed to determine the ⎢E*⎢ values of thin-disk-shaped specimens of various asphalt mixtures. It was found that the IR test method when used with thin disk-like specimens is a simple, practical, and cheap tool for determining the ⎢E*⎢ values of field cores. Further, it was found the ⎢E*⎢ values obtained from the IR tests using thin disk-like specimens were almost similar to those obtained using the AASHTO T342-11 test.
