An effective and practical method is presented for solving the forward kinematics of a 6-DOF Stewart Platform, using neural network algorithm together with Newton-Raphson method. An approximated solution is obtained from trained neural network, then it is used as an initial estimate for Newton-Raphson method. A series of accurate solutions are calculated with reasonable speed for the entire workspace of the platform. The solution procedure can be used for driving a real-time simulation platform.

We study the efficient method to estimate the parameters for the Weibull model with covariates which occupies an important position in survival analysis. A treatment period may be divided by the stages of treatments under the different treatment arams. The piecewise method is considered to obtain the estimators of the parameters by maximum likelihood method. We explore the real data to show that the piecewise is more efficient than the nonpiecewise to estimate the parameters.

본 논문에서는 고체구조물의 비선형변형해석에 대하여 일반이론으로 개발된 수치해법을 단순 고체 구조물인 일차원 봉 문제에 적용하여 그 변형해석을 수행 하였다. 정확한 해를 구하기 위하여 증분 뉴톤-랩슨방법이 수정 보완 사용되었다. 또한 개발된 비선형유한요소법의 검증을 위하여 수학적인 정해가 존재하는 균일한 체력이 작용하는 단순봉의 변형을 해석하여 그 결과를 수학적인 정해와 비교하였다. 비교 결과 본 논문을 통하여 개발된 비선형 유한요소법의 정확성이 입증되었다.

A geometrically nonlinear cable finite element is presented to use in the static or dynamic modeling of offshore and onshore structures such as guyed tower, tension leg platform or mooring buoy, submarine cable, cable-stayed bridge, suspension bridge, cable roof and so on. The cable finite element is derived directly from the compatibility equations and flexibility matrix of elastic catenary cable theory for the arbitary plane loading and geome try. A general and virsatile computer program has been developed to perform the analyses of cable member itself or cable guyed or suspened structures, in which Newmark-$\beta$ method is used to obtain a time domain solution and Newton-Raphson iteration method is used to solve the nonlinear system of compatibility equations of cable and algebraic static or dynamic equations at each time step. The results from the static and dynamic analysis of a cable member by the computer program are summarized and presented.

For the Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) which will be launched in 2008, an algorithm for finding the precise location of the sun-glint point on the ocean surface is studied. The precise locations of the sun-glint are estimated by considering azimuth and elevation angles of Sun-satellite-Earth geometric position and the law of reflection. The obtained nonlinear equations are solved by using the Newton-Raphson method. As a result, when COMS is located at $116.2^{\circ}E$ or $128.2^{\circ}E$ longitude, the sun-glint covers region of ${\pm}10^{\circ}(N-S)$ latitude and $80-150^{\circ}(E-W)$ longitude. The diurnal path of the sun-glint in the southern hemisphere is curved towards the North Pole, and the path in the northern hemisphere is forwards the south pole. The algorithm presented in this paper can be applied to predict the precise location of sun-glint region in any other geostationary satellites.
