Spread ALOHA systems that combine the spread spectrum techniques with the ALOHA system (a simple random access protocol without carrier sensing function) have been investigated as Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) protocols. This paper presents the effect of the nonorthogonal Code Shift Keying Spread Spectrum (CSK/SS) ALOHA system on improving the throughput and delay performances of the spread ALOHA system under the MANET environment. The nonorthogonal CSK/SS system, which uses systematically-constructed nonorthogonal sequences, is one of the multilevel modulation systems for the spread spectrum technique with increasing the number of bits per frame. Optimum parameters can be used to obtain the best system performance; thus, this paper gives analytical expressions of the data transmission efficiency and delay property of the proposed scheme as a function of the system parameters under the assumption of no power control. Numerical results show that the nonorthogonal CSK/SS ALOHA system is useful in the MANET environment, compared with the conventional spread ALOHA systems.

The new system evaluating the pollution of the water quality for the branches of Hyeongsan river using the fuzzy integral was proposed in this study. In this paper, the five individual factors, such as BOD(biochemical oxygen demand), COD(chemical oxygen demand), SS(suspended solids), T-N(total nitrogen), and T-P(total phosphorus) are selected. The measurement of fuzzy integral was determined depending on the degree of how they affect the pollution of water quality. The real values for the five factors measured and obtained from the branches of the Hyeongsan river was normalized to ranging from 0 to 1. Finally, using the fuzzy integral, the degree of the pollution for the branches of Hyeongsan river was expressed as the real numerical number. As a result, it appears that this approach can be proposed as the new system evaluating the pollution of the water quality for the branches of the Hyeongsan river.

Spectrum sensing is a key functionalities of Cognitive radio networks (CRN). There are several methods to improve sensing techniques. In this paper, we present a robust detector using signal to noise ratio (SNR) with adaptive threshold (ADT) scheme in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN). This technique has two detectors, energy detector (ED)&EDwithADT detector, out of these two detectors only one will perform sensing operation at a time. Selection of detector depends on condition between estimated SNR value (Se) and threshold (γ). Numerical results show that proposed ESNR_ADT scheme optimizes detection performance and outperforms the cyclostationary based sensing method and adaptive spectrum sensing (SS) by 30.5 % and 30 % at – 10 dB signal to noise ratio (SNR) respectively. It is also shown that the proposed scheme yields lesser sensing time than cyclostationary detection and adaptive SS scheme in the order of 5.2 ms and 1.0 ms at - 20 dB SNR respectively.

Cognitive radio network is one of the prime solutions of band width crises problem. To resolve band width crises firstly we have to sense primary user (PU) licensed signal. To sense PU signal there are various sensing techniques which have been proposed by researchers, but each of them are having some limitations. In this paper we present a two stage detector for spectrum sensing (SS) in cognitive radio (CR). It comprises of a weighted-energy detector (W-ED) and a correlated-generalized likelihood ratio test (C-GLRT). The first stage detects the energy and then if required, the C-GLRT makes the final decision in second stage. Performance of the proposed two stage detector is compared with the existing energy detector (ED), generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT), and adaptive spectrum Sensing (ASS) detectors. The numerical results show that proposed sensing technique has better detection performance and require less sensing time.

This paper presents a numerical procedure to investigate the mechanical strength of SS400 structure joined by multi-pass FCAW. Therefore, an efficient three-dimensional welding simulation model was suggested to predict a mechanical properties of welded structure and investigate its welding deformation, when the multi-layer FCAW method was applied to the butt jointed SS400 panel. This model also is presented in order to get the profile of residual deformation and stress. To define heat source model of FCAW, the welded SS400 specimen with 2-pass FCAW was observed and the heat affected zone was measured. Throughout the consideration of results by the suggested computational simulation, the efficient welding simulation and mechanical characteristics of the specimen are discussed.

In order to analyze the nonlinear phenomena of the bifurcation and chaos caused by the switching of nonlinear switching devices in inductively coupled power transfer (ICPT) systems, a Jacobian matrix model, based on discrete mapping numerical modeling, is established to judge the system stability of the periodic closed orbit and to study the nonlinear behavior of Hopf bifurcation in a system under full resonance. The general flow of the parameter design, based on the stability principle for ICPT systems, is proposed to avoid the chaos and bifurcation phenomena caused by unreasonable parameter selection. Firstly, based on the state equation of SS-type compensation, a three-dimensional bifurcation diagram with the coupling coefficient as the bifurcation parameter is established with a numerical simulation to observe the nonlinear phenomena in the system. Then Filippov's method based on a Jacobian matrix model is adopted to deduce the boundary of stable operation and to judge the type of the bifurcation in the system. Then the general flow of the parameter design based on the stability principle for ICPT systems is proposed through the above analysis to realize stable operation under the conditions of weak coupling. Finally, an experimental platform is built to confirm the correctness of the numerical simulation and modeling.

Thermal and mechanical characteristics in dissimilar SS400-STS304 steel weldment have been investigated by 3D thermal elastic-plastic analysis. Moreover, the influence of welding residual stresses on the mechanical behaviour of this welded joint, by applying superimposed external load (tension load) was determined. The residual stresses obtained by numerical simulation were compared with the experimentally measured results. The FE results were in good agreement with the measured values. The mechanical test (hardness, tensile test) and metallurgical analysis was carried out to ensure the weld integrity. Hence, possibility of applying SS400-STS304 dissimilar steels in industries has been established.

Dimensional synthesis of planar and spatial mechanisms mostly requires solution-finding, procedure for a system of polynomial equations. In case the system is nonlinear, numerical techniques like Newton-Raphson are often used. But there are no logical ways for finding all possible solutions in such iterative methods. In this paper, algebraic elimination is used to get all solutions for the synthesis of 5-SS spatial mechanism with seven prescribed positions. The proposed algorithm is more suitable for computer implementation and takes less time than existing one. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the implemented algorithm.

Signal propagation in nonlinear optical fiber is analyzed numerically by using SS-FEM (Split-Step Finite Element Method). By adopting cubic element function in FEM, soliton equation of which exact solution was well known, has been solved. Also, accuracy of numerical results and computing times are compared with those of Fourier method, and we have found that solution obtained from using FEM was very relatively accurate. Especially, to reduce CPU time in matrix computation in each step, the matrix imposed by the boundary condition is approximated as a sparse matrix. As a result, computation time was shortened even with the same or better accuracy when compared to those of the conventional FEM and Fourier method.

In this paper, an SS-RRA protocol that is based on Code Division Multiple Access is proposed and analyzed under the integrated voice and data traffic load. The backward logical channels consist of slotted time division frames with multiple spreading codes per slot. The protocol uses a reservation mechanism for the voice traffic, and a random access scheme for the data traffic. A discrete-time, discrete-state Markov chain is used to evaluate the performance. The numerical results show that the performance can be significantly improved by a few distinct spreading codes.

안테나 배열을 사용하는 직접 대역 확산 시스템에서 초기 동기 포착을 위하여 안테나 배열을 사용하는 병렬 포착 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 병렬 방식은 단일 안테나를 사용하는 기존의 병렬 방식에 비하여 포착이 가능한 SNR의 범위를 크게 낮출 수 있다. 이를 위하여, 동일한 PN (pseudo-noise) 위상에 해당하는 안테나 배열로부터의 독립된 판정 변수들을 합하여 새로운 판정 변수로 사용한다. 성능분석을 위하여 부가성 백색 가우시안 잡음과 Rayleigh 페이딩 채널하에서 검출확률, 손실확룔, 오인확룔이 유도되며, 이러한 값들을 이용하여 제안된 방식의 평균 포착 성능을 평가한다. 수치적인 분석 결과를 통하여, 제안된 시스템의 성능은 안테나의 개수가 증가함에 따라 지속적으로 향상된다는 사실을 확인할 수 있다.

We propose a parallel acquisition scheme using antenna arrays for initial acquisition of direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DS-SS) signals. The proposed parallel scheme can lower substantially the range of detectable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as compared to the conventional parallel scheme with a single antenna. The proposed scheme uses the sum of the independent decision samples from antenna arrays corresponding to an identical subsequence of the pseudonoise (PN) code as a decision variable. We derive the probabilities of detection, missing, and false alarm under an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and a flat Rayleigh fading channel. Using these, we get the mean acquisition time of the proposed scheme. From numerical results, we see that the acquisition performance becomes improved continually as the number of antennas increases.

The response of sea levels to a typhoon in the north Japanese coast in the Japan Sea is investigated by using hourly ses level data($1966{\sim}1986$) and a numerical shallow water model with high resolution($5'{\times}5'$). The observed sea level analysis shows (1) progressive waves exist between Simonoseki(SS) and Maizuru(MZ) with the mean phase speed of about 4 m/s during the passage of the typhoon, (2) the phase speed between Sasebo(SB) and HK(Hakata) is slower(about 1.7 m/s), and (3) the maximum sea level at HK is achieved about 0.5 day later than that of SS. In many aspects, the numerical model results correspond well to the above observed features. In the model the progressive waves are identified as a topographic wave with the phase speed of about 4 m/s. Before the typhoon passes through the Korea Strait/ the Tsushima Strait, the wave propagations along the Japanese coast are significantly influenced by the southwestward coastal jet induced by the wind stress parallel to the coast. The waves start to propagate northeastward along the coast when the coastal jet is weakened.

EFDC 모델을 이용하여 대산항 인근해역의 유속장을 재현하고 개발에 의한 인근 해역의 부유사(SS) 확산현상에 대한 수치 모사가 수행되었다. 대산항 인근 해역의 유속장 재현을 위한 해수유동 수치모형 실험은 EFDC 2차원 모델을 사용하여 조위 시계열 검증 및 조화분석을 통한 검증을 실시한 결과 양호한 재현성을 나타내었다. 대산항 주변해역의 해수 유동장을 이용하여 부유사 확산 수치 실험 결과, 항로 준설시를 부유사(SS)의 확산양상은 창조류시와 낙조류시에 각각 동향~북동향, 서향~남서향으로 확산이 진행되고 있었다. 또한 부유사(SS)의 확산은 시간이 지날수록 대산항 전면해역 및 난지도 주변해역, 가로림만 입구부에서 넓게 분포하는 것으로 나타나 공사가 장기적으로 진행된다면 그 영향은 가중되어 환경오염문제가 심화될 것으로 생각된다.

EFDC model was applied to reproduce velocity fields and to evaluate the dispersion characteristics of suspended sediments (SS) around a Daesan port. Numerical results using two-dimensional hydrodynamic model of EFDC showed good agreements through comparison with the time series and harmonic analysis of the tidal elevations. The dispersion patterns of the suspended sediments using the calculated velocity fields were calculated to move from east to northeast direction in flood tide and from west to southwest in ebb tide for dredging of sea route, respectively. Also, the suspended sediments were widely dispersed into the front areas of a Daesan port, Nanji-do and Garorim bay in the long-term. Therefore, it was inferred that the environmental problems for sea pollution would be occurred seriously if the dredging for sea route would be continued in the long-term.

하상 굴착 공사는 골재 채취, 토사준설, 교량 건설 또는 하천을 횡단하여 매설하는 관로 공사 등 여러 가지 경우에 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 하상 굴착 공사 과정에서 발생하는 다량의 부유물질(SS)은 수질을 오염시키며 환경에 악영향을 미치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 현장 여건상 정교한 수치해석모형을 적용할 수 없는 경우에, 2차원 이송-확산 모형을 단순화하여 유도한 Fick 확산 모형에 의하여 부유물질의 농도를 산정하고 오탁 방지 시설 설치에 따른 부유물질 농도의 저감 효과를 평가하는 방법을 검토하였다. 강원도 동해시에 위치한 전천의 송유관로 매설공사를 대상으로, Fick 확산 모형이 하상 굴착으로부터 발생하는 부유물질의 농도 산정과 오탁방지막의 설치에 따른 오염 저감 효과를 사전에 예비적으로 평가하는 실무적인 방법이 될 수 있음을 제시하였다.

Excavation works on stream beds have been done for various reasons including aggregate collection, sediment dredging, bridge constructions, or laying pipes under the ground. These activities may cause significant loadings of SS (suspended solids) resulting in water pollution and other detrimental effects to the surrounding environment. This research investigates application potential of a fickian diffustion model, derived from two dimensional advection-diffusion equation through some simplifying assumptions, as a planning tool for the estimation of SS loadings from excavation works and evaluation fo pollution prevention measures in case that sophisticated numerical simulation models are not applicable due to various practical reasons. Through a case study of the Juncheon stream in the Donghae City on the Kangwondo Province, this study demonstrates applicability of the fickian diffustion model as a practical method for the preliminary estimation of Ss loadings from excavation works and evaluation of performance of fabrics made of synthetic fiber for the reduction of downstream SS concentration with deficient field data.

비폭기 혐기상태에서 접촉 반응조내에서 임펠러의 종류와 운전조건에 따른 유동특성 및 SS의 효율적인 혼합은 오 폐수 반응조 전 공정효율에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 중요한 설계인자이다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 수치해석적인 방법에 의하여 임펠러의 제원(형상및 크기)과 운전조건에 따른 반응조 내의 유동장과 SS농도분포를 계산하였다. 일차적으로 본 논문에서는 접촉 반응조 내부의 유동 및 농도를 수치 모사하여 임펠러 형상에 따른 전형적인 유동특성과 비교 검토함으로써 프로그램의 성능을 확인하였다. 또한 임펠러의 종류와 크기 그리고 위치 등에 따른 조직적인 변수연구를 수행함으로써 설계와 최적운전조건의 결정을 위한 임펠러 특성에 대한 유용한 자료를 도출하고자 하였다. 그 결과 임펠러 타입이 pitched-type 인 경우 flat-type에 비해 혼합 효율이 크게 향상됨을 알 수 있었으며 임펠러의 크기가 클수록, 다단으로 설치할수록 효율적인 혼합이 이루어짐을 확인하였다.

The characteristics of flow field and turbulent mixing efficiency of SS in non-aerated contacting reactor are critical design parameters directly affecting on the efficiency of the overall process of wastewater treatment system. To this end, in this study numerical fluid dynamic calculation has been made to investigate the flow field and concentration distribution of SS in terms of specification(shape and dimension) of impeller and other operating conditions. As the first step, the performance of the computer program developed was successfully evaluated by the comparison of the typical flow field with the type of impeller with that appeared in open literature. Further, a series of parametric investigations are made in terms of interesting parameters such as the type and dimension of impeller, location, and number of impeller, etc. A number of useful conclusions obtained by numerical calculation are the superiority of mixing efficiency of pitched type than the flat one together with the visible increase of the overall mixing effect by the employment of the larger impeller and increase of the impeller number, etc.

재가열로에서 분위기 온도에 따른 소재온도 변화를 예측하기 위해 SUS304, SS400 소재가 적용되었으며, 소재내부에 깊이 방향으로 열전대를 5개씩 설치한 후 분위기 온도를 1200도까지 상승시켰다. 그 결과 소재온도는 평균적으로 1150도 이상 도달했으며, 국부적으로 소재 표면과 내부는 10도 이상의 온도차를 나타내었다. 실험결과의 타당성 검증을 위해 열모델을 적용하여 수치해석 되었으며, 실험결과 대비 해석결과는 출구 평균온도 기준 15도 이내의 범위에서 오차를 나타내었다. 또한 오차는 SUS304 소재에 비해 비열 변화가 큰 SS400 소재에서 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 결론적으로 재가열로에서 소재 온도는 분위기 온도 제어를 통해 달성할 수 있으며, 분위기 온도에 따른 소재 온도 변화는 출구에서 3% 오차범위 내에서 열모델을 사용하여 유추할 수 있음이 실험적으로 증명되었다.

The materials of SUS304 and SS400 are adopted for prediction of workpiece temperature variation according to ambient temperature in a reheating furnace. Five thermocouples were installed in a depth direction inside the material, and the ambient temperature was raised to 1200 Celsius degrees. As a result, the material average temperature reached more than 1150 Celsius degrees, and the surface and inside of workpiece locally showed a temperature difference of more than 10K. In order to verify the experimental results, numerical analysis was conducted by applying a thermal model, and the error of numerical simulation compared with the experimental results was within the range of 15K at the average outlet temperature. Also, the error was relatively higher in the SS400 material, which has a larger specific heat change than the SUS304 material. In conclusion, the workpiece temperature in the reheating furnace can be achieved through the atmospheric temperature control, and it is experimentally proved that the material temperature change according to the atmospheric temperature can be estimated within about 3% error range at the outlet position using a thermal model.

여름철 홍수시 성층화된 저수지로 유입하는 하천수는 저수지 표층수에 비해 낮은 수온과 높은 부유고형물질(SS) 농도를 가지므로 주변수에 비해 상대적으로 높은 밀도를 가지게 된다. 이러한 밀도차로 인해 형성된 밀도류의 저수지 내 진행과정은 수질과 수생태계에 큰 영향을 주게 된다. 따라서 하천수 밀도류의 거동분석은 저수지 수질관리를 위한 현장조사의 최적화, SS와 영양염류 등 오염물질의 이송 확산 해석에 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구의 목적은 기존 연구를 통해 검증된 2차원 수치모델을 이용하여 다양한 홍수규모에서 대청호로 유입하는 하천 밀도류의 거동 특성인 침강점 수심($d_p$)과 거리($X_p$), 분리점 수심($d_s$), 중층류 관입두께($h_i$), 댐축 도달시간($t_a$), 감소율(${\beta}$)을 분석함으로써 저수지 수질관리를 위한 기초정보를 제공하는데 있다. 모의조건은 평수년이었던 2004년 6월 13일부터 7월 3일 동안 발생한 홍수사상의 수문곡선을 기준으로 유입 유량의 규모를 10개의 등급으로 나누었으며, 초기 성층조건은 탁수가 유입되기 전의 발달된 성층구조를 적용하였다. 유입수와 저수지 성층구조의 특성치는 밀도 Froude 수(Fri)로 나타내었으며, 10개의 $Fr_i$ 조건별로 $d_p,\;X_p,\;d_s,\;h_i,\;t_a$, SS의 ${\beta}$값 등을 산정하였다. 연구결과 $d_p,\;X_p,\;d_s,\;h_i$는 대체로 $Fr_i$ 값과 비례하여 증가하였으며 중층류의 진행속도도 빨라지는 경향을 나타내었으나, 저수지 지형변화에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 정상상태를 가정하는 Hebbert 식은 저수지 수위변화와 지형변화를 고려하지 못하기 때문에 수치모델 보다 $d_p$값을 과대 산정하였다. 유입 SS 농도의 감소율(${\beta}$)은 $Fr_i$가 클수록 작아지는 경향을 보였으나, $Fr_i$>9.0에서는 난류혼합효과 때문에 다시 증가하였다. 연구결과는 저수지운영 실무자들이 홍수규모별로 탁수의 초기 거동특성을 간단히 예측하는 목적으로 사용할 수 있다.

Stream inflows induced by flood runoffs have a higher density than the ambient reservoir water because of a lower water temperature and elevated suspended sediment(SS) concentration. As the propagation of density currents that formed by density difference between inflow and ambient water affects reservoir water quality and ecosystem, an understanding of reservoir density current is essential for an optimization of filed monitoring, analysis and forecast of SS and nutrient transport, and their proper management and control. This study was aimed to quantify the characteristics of inflow density current including plunge depth($d_p$) and distance($X_p$), separation depth($d_s$), interflow thickness($h_i$), arrival time to dam($t_a$), reduction ratio(${\beta}$) of SS contained stream inflow for different flood magnitude in Daecheong Reservoir with a validated two-dimensional(2D) numerical model. 10 different flood scenarios corresponding to inflow densimetric Froude number($Fr_i$) range from 0.920 to 9.205 were set up based on the hydrograph obtained from June 13 to July 3, 2004. A fully developed stratification condition was assumed as an initial water temperature profile. Higher $Fr_i$(inertia-to-buoyancy ratio) resulted in a greater $d_p,\;X_p,\;d_s,\;h_i$, and faster propagation of interflow, while the effect of reservoir geometry on these characteristics was significant. The Hebbert equation that estimates $d_p$ assuming steady-state flow condition with triangular cross section substantially over-estimated the $d_p$ because it does not consider the spatial variation of reservoir geometry and water surface changes during flood events. The ${\beta}$ values between inflow and dam sites were decreased as $Fr_i$ increased, but reversed after $Fr_i$>9.0 because of turbulent mixing effect. The results provides a practical and effective prediction measures for reservoir operators to first capture the behavior of turbidity inflow.
