The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficiency of various solution techniques and propose new efficient solution techniques for space trusses. Solution techniques used in this study are three load control methods (Newton-Raphson Method, modified Newton-Raphson Method, Secant-Newton Method), two load-displacement control methods(Arc-length Method, Work Increment Control Method) and three combined load-displacement control methods(Combined Arc-length Method I , Combined Arc-length MethodⅡ, Combined Work Increment Control Method). To evaluate the efficiency of these solution techniques, we must examine accuracy of their solutions, convergences and computing times of numerical examples. The combined load-displacement control methods are the most efficient in the geometric nonlinear solution techniques and in tracing post-buckling behavior of space truss. The combined work increment control method is the most efficient in tracing the buckling load of spate trusses with high degrees of freedom.

Hydrodynamic performance of a movable submerged breakwater was analyzed using energy dissipation model. Based on two-dimensional boundary element method the equation of motion including a viscous dissipation term proportional to velocity squared was solved by Newton-Raphson method. Energy dissipation coefficients as well as reflection and transmission coefficients of a submerged flat plate were calculated with various plate lengths and thickness. Both real and imaginary components of body displacement and forces were used to solve the motion of breakwater accurately. The effect of the magnitude of dissipation coefficient on the body displacement was evaluated. The results from the potential theory with no dissipation term were found to be an overestimate in resonance frequency.

The inverse kinematics problem of Stewart platform is straightforward, but no closed form solution of the forward kinematic problem has been presented. Since we need the real-time forward kinematic solution in MIMO control and the motion monitoring of the platform, it is important to acquire the 6 DOF displacements of the platform from measured lengths of six cylinders in small sampling period. Newton-Raphson method a simple algorithm and good convergence, but it takes too long calculation time. So we reduce 6 nonlinear kinematic equations to 3 polynomials using Nairs method and 3 polynomials to 2 polynomials. Then Newton-Raphson method is used to solve 3 polynomials and 2 polynomials respectively. We investigate operation counts and performance of three methods which come from the equation reduction and Newton-Raphson method, and choose the best method.

This paper presents an efficient method for determining the economic dispatch of thermal generator using an alternative Jacobian matrix considering system constraints. The transmission loss is approximately expressed as a funtion of generating powers and the generalized generation factor. From this expression, the Jacobian matrix is formulated and solved by the Newton Raphson Method. In this method, the economic dispatch problem is solved rapidly without calculating the penalty factor. The proposed method has fast convergency characteristic and good accuracy. The feasibility of this method is demonstrated by means of examples.

The location of the bus stop on urban roads should be installed at a point where it is convenient for users and the impact of bus stops on the traffic flow is minimized. However, the location of the bus stops is determined indiscriminately due to the lack of related research. Therefore, this study developed a traffic accident prediction model and calculated the proper separation distance for the bus stops through an optimization technique. The result of the study indicates that the bus stop can be installed in the form of a mid-block approximately 87 to 166 m away from the intersection in the road section. This result is valid if the number of main road lanes in the road section is 2 to 4 with a level of traffic from 1,000 to 3,000 v/h. In the section with 5 to 6 lanes, it is desirable to install a bus stop close to the intersection by about 42 to 97 m.
