This paper presents an approximate analytical solution to one-dimensional model of the charging process for stratified thermal storage tanks, in which variation of the inlet temperature as well as the momemtum-induced mixing is taken into accout. The mixing is incorporated into the model as a constant-depth perfectly mixed layer above the plug flow region. Based on the superposition principle, the variable inlet temperature is approximated by a number of step functions. Temperature distributions for the thermocline corresponding to three types of interfacial condition arr successfully derived in terms of well-defined functions, so that a linear combination of them constitutes the final solution. Validity and utility of this work is examined through the comparison of the approximate solution with an exact solution available for the case of linearly increasing inlet temperature. With increasing the number of steps, the present solution asymptotically approaches to the exact one. Even with a limited number of steps, the present results favorably agree with those by the exact solution for a wide range of the mixing depth. Also, it is revealed that fewer steps are needed for meaningful predictions as the mixing. depth becomes larger.

The problem of selecting base station location in the design of mobile communication system has been basically regarded as a problem of assigning maximum users in the cell to the minimum base stations while maintaining minimum SIR. and it is NP hard. The objective function of warehouse location problem, which has been used by many researchers, is not proper function in the base station location problem in CDMA mobile communication, The optimal and approximate solutions have been presented by using proposed object function and algorithms of exact solution, and the simulation results have been assessed and analyzed. The optimal and approximate solutions are found by using mixed integer programming instead of meta-heuristic search methods.

Isotropic linear viscoelasticity problems are analyzed numerically in time domain by Boundary Element Method with quadratic isoparametric boundary elements. Viscoelastic fundamental solutions are newly derived by using the elastic-viscoelastic correspondence principle and corresponding boundary integral equations are also presented. Numerical results of two examples are compared with the derived exact solutions to verify the accuracy and validity of the method. A detailed study on the accuracy of displacement and stress in terms of time integration step is given.

In order to examine the validity of an asymptotic solution obtained from the method of multiple scales, we investigate a third-order subharmonic resonance response of a bar constrained by a nonlinear spring to a harmonic excitation. The motion of the bar is governed by a linear partial differential equation with a nonlinear boundary condition. The nonlinear boundary value problem is solved by using the finite difference method. The numerical solution is compared with the asymptotic solution.

To predict performances of Stirling Engines, a second-order analysis method has been developed. The present method which is based on the approximate analytical solution to the Ideal Adiabatic Model includes major loss mechanisms due to finite heat transfer and flow friction. Comparison of calculated results with previously reported study for a specific engine shows reasonable agreements and a possibility of being used for basic designs. Also, predicted performances with repect to engine speeds are consistent with experimental data in trend. To improve the prediction capability of this method, it is needed that not only additional losses should be taken into account, but also fundamental characteristics of oscillating flow and heat transfer should be better understood.

The problem of radiation from a flanged parallel-plate waveguide is re-examined. The technique of the Fourier transform is used to represent the radiation fields in the spectral domain. The simultaneous equations for the radiation field coefficients are formulated and solved to give an asymptotic seolution. The asymptotic series solution is compared with other results, thus clarifying the discrepancy among different numerical approaches.

본 논문에서는 X-FEM을 사용하여 혼합모드 하중 상태에서의 이차원 선형탄성체의 균열문제에 대한 형상 설계민감도 해석을 수행하였다. X-FEM이란 균열과 같은 특수한 해를 근사하는 방법으로써, 확장함수를 도입하여 FEM의 한계를 극복하는 방법론이다. X-FEM 하에서 해를 근사하는 데 쓰이는 확장함수들은 불연속성과 특이성을 포함하고 있어 물리적 영역에 의존한다. 이는 설계민감도 해석을 수행하는 과정에서 그러한 의존성을 고려해주는 것이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 X-FEM 기반의 형상 설계민감도 해석해를 제안하고자 한다. 식의 유도는 전 미분 공식에 기초하고 있으며, 형상함수의 설계변분에 대한 의존성에 관한 항을 추가시켰다. 또한, 균열 주위의 국부적인 공간에서의 확장된 자유도에 설계속도를 가한다. 이에 대한 몇 가지 수치 예제를 통하여 개발된 방법론의 타당성을 확인하였다.

대상 기계구조물의 유한요소 모델로부터 구한 해석결과가 실험결과와 오차를 나타낼 때, 이러한 오차를 줄일 수 있도록 유한요소 모델의 변경이 요구된다. 유한요소 모델개선은 이러한 역문제(Inverse Problem)를 다루는 체계적인 접근법이다. 일반적으로 유한요소 모델에서 변경할 수 있는 매개변수의 개수는 실험결과의 개수보다 많으므로 실험결과와 일치되는 개선된 유한요소 모델은 무한하다고 할 수 있다. 그러나, 개선된 유한요소 모델이 물리적 타당성을 갖도록 매개변수의 변경량에 제한을 주면 일반적으로 초기 유한요소 모델에 비해 실험결과와의 오차가 개선된 근사해만 존재하게 된다. 따라서, 모델개선 과정을 통해 구한 개선된 모델은 오차의 평가기준 또는 목적함수에 따라 정해진 다양한 근사해 중 하나이다. 기존의 모델개선 방법에서는 단 하나의 오차 평가기준 또는 목적함수를 사용하고 이를 최소화 하는 모델을 구한다. 개선된 모델을 구하기 이전에는 사용된 평가기준이 타당한지 검토할 수 없으므로 대부분의 경우, 시행착오법으로 목적함수를 설정하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 다목적 최적화 기법을 이용한 오차 평가기준을 소개하고 이를 하드디스크커버 유한요소 모델개선에 응용한다.

This paper presents a boundary element method for obtaining approximate solutions of 2-dimensional consolidation problems based on the Biot's linear theory. Laplace transform is applied to differential equation system in order to eliminate the time dependency. The boundary integral equations in transformed space are formulated and the fundamental solutions are shown in a closed form. In order to convert the transformed solutions to the ones in real space, the Hosono's numerical Laplace transform inversion method is applied. As a numerical example, a half-space consolidation problem subjected to a strip local load is selected and the applicability of the method is demonstrated through the comparison with the exact solutions.
