In this paper, a blind decision feedback algorithm is proposed based on the ideas that the derivative of information potential for constant modulus errors stays relatively undisturbed even when large output differences are induced by severe channel distortions and this property can prevent the error propagation that is one of the main problems in decision feedback structures. From the simulation results of the steady state MSE, the proposed blind equalizer algorithm with decision feedback has yielded about 3 dB performance enhancement in the channel model without spectrum nulls and above 9 dB in severe channel characteristics with spectrum nulls.

Self-adaptive software is software that adapts by itself to system requirements about the recognized problems without stopping the software cycle. In order to reduce the unnecessary adaptation in the system having the critical points, we propose proactive approach which can predict the future operation after a critical point. In this paper, we predict the future operation after a critical point using a hybrid model to deal with the characteristics of the observed data with the linear and non-linear pattern. The operation of the prediction method is determined on a timing decision indicator based on the prediction accuracy. The two main points of contributions of this paper are to reduce uncertainty about the future operation by predicting the situation after a critical point using hybrid model and to reduce unnecessary adaptation implementation by deciding a timing based on a timing decision indicator.

정지된 유동장에 놓인 반무한 평판이 횡방향으로 갑자기 출발하는 경우에 있어서 평판의 끝에서 발생하는 보텍스의 거동을 해석적 및 수치적 측면에서 검토하였다. 해석적 방법은 단일 보텍스 모델에 근거를 두었으며, 해석결과 순환량은 시간의 1/3승, 보텍스의 중심까지의 거리는 시간의 2/3승에 비례하여 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 룬게.쿠타(Runge-Kutta)방법을 써서 분리 보텍스 모델에 따른 비선형 운동방정식의 해를 수치적으로 구했다. 수치해는 시간의 경과에 따라 해석 해에 접근하였다. 보텍스의 형상에 있어서도 실험결과와 잘 맞았다.

This paper presents analysis of linear model boiler-turbie system model of Bell and Astrom. The 3rd order nonlinear model is linearlized and the linearized models of several operating points are presented. The analysis results show that the linearlized model is relatively reliable except the dynamics of electric output and drum level. Therefore, a caution is necessary in controller design based on the linearlized model.

Nonlinear soil behavior before failure under dynamic loading is often implemented in a numerical analysis code by a mathematical fitting function model with Masing's rule. However, the model may show different behavior with an experimental results obtained from laboratory test in damping ratio corresponding secant shear modulus for a certain shear strain rage. The difference may come from an unique soil characteristics which is unable to implement by using the existing mathematical fitting model. As of now, several fitting models have been suggested to overcome the difference between model and real soil behavior but consequence of the difference in dynamic analysis is not reviewed yet. In this paper, the effect of the difference on site response was examined through nonlinear response history analysis. The analysis was verified and calibrated with well defined dynamic geotechnical centrifuge test. Site response analyses were performed with three mathematical fitting function models and compared with the centrifuge test results in prototype scale. The errors on peak ground acceleration between analysis and experiment getting increased as increasing the intensity of the input motion. In practical point of view, the analysis results of accuracy with the fitting model is not significant in low to mid input motion intensity.

Time-Cost Trade-Off (TCTO) model is an important model in the construction project planning and control area. Two types of Existing TCTO model, continuous and discrete TCTO model, have been developed by researchers. However, Using only one type of model has a limitation to represent a realistic crash scenario of activities in the project. Thus, this paper presents a comprehensive TCTO model that combines a continuous and discrete model. Additional advanced features for non-linear relationship, incentive, and liquidated damage are included in the TCTO model. These features make the proposed model more applicable to the construction project. One CPM network with 6 activities is used to explain the proposed model. The model found an optimal schedule for the example to satisfy all the constraints. The results show that new model can represent more flexible crash scenario in TCTO model.

A particle method, recognized as one of gridless methods, has been developed to investigate non-linear free-surface motions interacting with structures. This method is more feasible and effective than conventional grid methods for solving flow fieldswith complicated boundary shapes. The method consists of particle interaction models representing pressure gradient, diffusion, incompressibility, and the free-surface boundary conditions without grids. In the present study, broken dam problems with various viscosity values are simulated to validate the developed method.

Contact between wheel and rail leads to the creep phenomenon. Linear creep theory, assuming linear increase in the creep force vs creep, results in a critical speed at which the vibration of a railway vehicle goes to infinity. However, the actual creep force converges to a limited value, so that the vibration of a railway vehicle cannot increase indefinitely. In this study, the dynamics of a railway vehicle is investigated with a 6 DOF bogie model includingthe nonlinear creep curves of Vermeulen, Polach, and a newly calculated creep curve with strip theory. Strip theory considers the profiles of the wheel and rail. The results show that the vibration of a railway vehicle results in a limit-cycle over a specific running speed, and this limit-cycle becomes smaller as the slope of the creep-curve steepens. Moreover, a hunting phenomenon is caused due to flange contact, which restricts the magnitude of the limit-cycle.

In this paper, numerical methods for wrinkle prediction of thin membrane were studied by finite element analysis. Techniques using membrane and shell elements were applied for triangular membrane. In case of membrane element method, the wrinkling was accounted for by the wrinkle algorithm of property modification, which was implemented to ABAQUS as a user subroutine. In case of shell method, geometrically nonlinear post-buckling analysis was performed to obtain the wrinkle deformation explicitly. The wrinkling deformation was induced by seeding the mesh with a random geometric imperfection. The results were investigated focusing on the mesh convergence and the solution accuracy.

LTE-A (long term evolution advanced) uplink selected SC-FDMA (single carrier frequency division multiple access) to maintain low PAPR for a low price and tiny terminal. Recently, the application of codebook-based preceding to LIE-A uplink is discussed. This paper shows that PAPR can be increased when various preceding schems are applied to the SC-FDMA as an LTE-A uplink. When, considering nonlinear power amplifier model to the transmitter, BER performances of preceded schemes degrade. But equal gain transmission scheme does show very low PAPR. So the link-level performance of EGT is superior to those of any other preceding schemes. Computer simulations also confirm the anticipated link-level performances.
