PURPOSES : In a previous study, an error was detected in data pertaining to the direction and velocity of a roller. Hence, in this study, the correlation between these two variables and acceleration data is analyzed. Relevant algorithms are developed by adding variables to existing algorithms. METHODS : A tachometer and GPS are used to acquire the velocity, compaction direction of rollers, and number of compactions. Subsequently, data input to an accelerometer are compared and analyzed. RESULTS : Based on FFT analysis, it is discovered that the data are inaccurate when a forward reverse is performed. Using the GPS, the velocity of the roller is differentiated based on the number of pledges, and then added as a variable to the algorithm. Subsequently, it is evaluated and analyzed only with data during forward movement based on changes in the latitude and longitude. CONCLUSIONS : It is discovered that the acceleration data values from both the left and right rollers differ owing to their weight difference, as indicated by the asphalt gradient. Data changes based on asphalt gradients are analyzed using gyro sensors. If the correlation between the two sets of data is high, then the algorithm is advanced by introducing a cross spectrum after calibrating the acceleration value based on the gradient.

The slip-weakening model developed by Ohnaka and Yamashita is extended over the breakdown zone by equating the scaling relationships for the breakdown zone and the whole rupture area. For the extension, the study uses the relationship between rupture velocity and radiation efficiency, which was derived in the theory of linear elastic fracture mechanics, and the definition of fmax given in the specific barrier model proposed by Papageorgiou and Aki. The results clearly show that the extended scaling relationship is governed by the ratio of rupture velocity to S wave velocity, and the velocity ratio can be determined by the ratio of characteristic frequencies of a Fourier amplitude spectrum, which are corner frequency, fc, and source-controlled cut-off frequency, fmax, or vice versa. The derived relationship is tested by using the characteristic frequencies extracted from previous studies of more than 130 shallow crustal events (focal depth less than 25 km, MW 3.0~7.5) that occurred in Japan. Under the assumption of a dynamic similarity, the rupture velocity estimated from fmax/fc and the modified integral timescale give quite similar scale-dependence of the rupture area to that given by Kanamori and Anderson. Also, the results for large earthquakes show good agreement to the values from a kinematic inversion in previous studies. The test results also indicate the unavailability of the spectral self-similarity proposed by Aki because of the scale-dependent rupture velocity and the rupture velocity-dependent fmax/fc; however, the results do support the local similarity asserted by Ohnaka. It is also remarkable that the relationship between the rupture velocity and fmax/fc is quite similar to Kolmogorov’s hypothesis on a similarity in the theory of isotropic turbulence.

MDPS control has been a difficult problem for the past two decades. Though there are many ways to control steering feeling, the MDPS control logic is still being upgraded or developed for steering feel improvement. A new point of view in MDPS is proposed by evolution logic, which is a new driver friendly improvement based on the analysis of driver’s driving pattern. As a result of the application of evolution logic, this paper shows that drivers behaviour effecting factors among MDPS parameters will efficiently lead to customers’ satisfaction.

선체구조의 품질검사 중 가장 일반적인 방법의 하나는 비파괴검사이다. 하지만 복합소재 선체는 강화재와 수지로 구성된 여러가지 재료가 섞여 있고 또 생산환경과 작업자에 따라 FRP(Fiber-Reinforced Plastics) 제작품질에 차이가 발생할 가능성이 크기 때문에 정확한 검사평가는 쉽지 않은 일이다. 특히 FRP 선박의 경우에는 다른 구조물보다 두께가 매우 두껍고 주로 수척층 공법을 이용하기 때문에 더욱 그렇다. 초음파 탐상의 조건 중 검사체의 밀도가 매우 중요하기 때문에 본 연구에서는 FRP 선박 제작에 널리 사용되고 있는 소재와 유리섬유강화재 중량 비율로 제작된 선박의 외판을 검사체로 선정하고, Pulse-Echo 초음파 탐상기를 활용하여 GFRP(Glass Fiber-Reinforced Plastics) 선체 외판의 초음파 탐상을 위한 적정 조건을 조사하였다. 1.00 MHz, 2.25 MHz, 5.00 MHz 세 종류 탐촉자로 A-Scan 을 실시하였으며 선체 외판의 두께 검사결과와 비교분석함으로써 적정 초음파 탐상 조건을 찾고자 하였다. 연구결과 탐촉자의 초음파 주파수가 높아질수록 수신자의 반사파 음향 속력을 감소시켜야 더 정도 높은 두께 측정 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 상대적으로 낮은 초음파 주파수 탐촉자에서 더 적은 오차가 발생함을 확인할 수 있었다.

선박이 접안할 때 발생하는 접안에너지에 가장 영향력이 큰 요소는 접안속도이며, 과도한 경우 사고로 이어질 수 있다. 접안속도의 결정에 영향을 미치는 요소는 다양하지만 기존 연구에서는 일반적으로 선박 크기에 제한하여 분석하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 선박 접안속도의 영향요소를 반영하여 분석하고 그에 따른 중요도를 도출하고자 한다. 분석에 활용한 데이터는 국내 한 탱커부두의 선박 접안속도를 실측한 것을 바탕으로 하였다. 수집된 데이터를 활용하여 머신러닝 분류 알고리즘인 의사결정나무(Decision Tree), 랜덤포 레스트(Random Forest), 로지스틱회귀(Logistic Regression), 퍼셉트론(Perceptron)을 비교분석하였다. 알고리즘 평가 방법으로는 혼동 행렬에 따른 모델성능 평가지표를 사용하였다. 분석 결과, 가장 성능이 좋은 알고리즘으로는 퍼셉트론이 채택되었으며 그에 따른 접안속도 영향 요인의 중요도는 선박 크기(DWT), 부두 위치(Jetty No.), 재화상태(State) 순으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 선박 접안 시, 선박의 크기를 비롯하여 부두 위치, 재화 상태 등 다양한 요인을 고려하여 접안속도를 설계하여야 한다.

Background: Due to aging, blood flow rate decreases, also posture and chewing habit may be changed. Objective: To identify that changes in blood velocity in the common carotid arteries (CCAs) in old persons with unilateral chewing habit (UCH) and forward head posture (FHP) in the elderly. Design: An observational cross-sectional study. Methods: Chewing habits, FHP, and CCAs velocities were assessed in 85 elderly subjects. Chewing habits were measured by visual observation. CCAs measured the peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), minimum diastolic velocity, and resistivity index. The subjects were divided into UCH and bilateral chewing habit groups depending on chewing habit. The subjects were also divided into >49 degrees and <49 degrees for comparison of blood flow between the left and right CCAs. Results: In the UCH, the chewing side had significantly higher EDV (P=.003), PSV (P=.023) than the non-chewing side. There was no significant difference in velocity between the CCAs in the FHP. Conclusion: This study shows that the blood flow velocity of the chewing side of UCH was higher, and unilateral chewing affects the CCAs velocity and thus highlight the importance of chewing habit in the elderly than head posture.

무도상 교량은 레일을 이음매판으로 부설하여 사용하고 있어 과다한 충격이나 궤도 틀림 등의 발생 우려로 인하여 열차의 고속주행이 어려운 실정이다. 열차의 주행안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 상호작용에 영향을 미치는 인자를 분석하여 동적 안전성에 대하여 검토할 필요가 있다. 이 연구에는 열차가 운용중인 판형교량의 현장계측을 통하여 궤도 구조 및 주거더의 충격계수를 도출하고 이를 기존연구와 비교 및 참고하여 열차의 주행속도를 고려한 충격계수의 추정식을 산정하였다. 궤도의 충격계수 산정식은 기존 연구에서 제안한 식과 유사하게 산정되었으며, 무도상교량 거더의 충격계수 산정식과 일본의 철도교 충격계수 식과 비교한 결과, 일본의 철도교 충격계수 식은 본 연구에서 산정한 거더의 충격계수 1배수 식과 2배수 식 사이에 존재하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, the formation, microstructure, and wear properties of Colmonoy 88 (Ni-17W-15Cr-3B-4Si wt.%) + Stellite 1 (Co-32Cr-17W wt.%) coating layers fabricated by high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying are investigated. Colmonoy 88 and Stellite 1 powders were mixed at a ratio of 1:0 and 5:5 vol.%. HVOF sprayed selffluxing composite coating layers were fabricated using the mixed powder feedstocks. The microstructures and wear properties of the composite coating layers are controlled via a high-frequency heat treatment. The two coating layers are composed of γ-Ni, Ni3B, W2B, and Cr23C6 phases. Co peaks are detected after the addition of Stellite 1 powder. Moreover, the WCrB2 hard phase is detected in all coating layers after the high-frequency heat treatment. Porosities were changed from 0.44% (Colmonoy 88) to 3.89% (Colmonoy 88 + ST#1) as the content of Stellite 1 powder increased. And porosity is denoted as 0.3% or less by inducing high-frequency heat treatment. The wear results confirm that the wear property significantly improves after the high-frequency heat treatment, because of the presence of wellcontrolled defects in the coating layers. The wear surfaces of the coated layers are observed and a wear mechanism for the Ni-based self-fluxing composite coating layers is proposed.
