Cement zero concrete produced by alkali-activators and industrial by-products such as slag instead of cement, enables to solve the environmental pollution problems provoked by the exhaustion of natural resources and energy as well as the discharge of carbon dioxide. However, researches on the cement zero concrete are still limited to material studies and thus, study on the structural behavior of relevant members is essential to use the cement zero concrete as structural materials. This paper aims to evaluate experimentally and analytically the flexural behavior of RC beams using 50 MPa alkali activated slag concrete. To achieve such a goal, flexural tests on three types of RC beam specimens were conducted. A nonlinear analysis model is proposed using the modulus of elasticity and stress-strain relationship of alkali activated slag concrete. The analysis results obtained by the proposed model agree well with the experimental results, which could verify the validity of the proposed model.

The EFDC model has been simplified to enhance the computing performance in hydrodynamic modeling. Water quality module and unnecessary conditional statements were deleted in subroutine list and memory allocation. The performance of the enhanced model (EFDC-E) was checked by applying EFDC and EFDC-E models to simulating the tidal flow in Mokpo coastal zone. Both two-dimensional models and threedimensional models have been applied and compared. Three-dimensional models showed better simulation results agreeing with observed currents than two-dimensional models. The simulation results of EFDC-E model gave good results agreeing with the simulation results of EFDC model and the observed data. The computing speed of EFDC-E model is improved 3 times faster than that of EFDC model in modeling hydrodynamic flow for real time of 3 days in both 2-dimensional modeling and 3-dimensional modeling. The EFDC-E model can be used widely for hydrodynamic modeling because of improved simulation speed.

This paper proposes a design optimization approach for core of solenoid actuators by combining optimization techniques with the finite element method (FEM). A solenoid is an important element part which hydraulically controls a transmission system, etc. The demanded feature of the solenoid is that it performs an electromagnetic force output being constant regardless of the stroke and being proportional to coil current. The plunger compresses a spring with a minimum force of 12 N over an 1.7 mm travel. The orthogonal array, analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques and response surface optimization, are employed to determine the main effects and their optimal design variables. The methodology is demonstrated as a optimization tool for the core design of a solenoid actuator.

The gangway connection of the articulated high speed railway vehicles (HSRV) is a double wrinkled rubber component to seal the air of the corridor under a range of angular deviations between the carriage end parts. From the results of non-linear structural analysis, one of the severe loading conditions for the connection is mixed mode (rolling+yawing) angular displacements while passing through the small-radius curved siding track of the HSRV depot. In this study, to ensure the safety enhancement of the component, the optimal design for the cross section of that was performed using the Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) method. Nonlinear finite element analysis confirmed that the decreases in the maximum principal strain of the optimized design under rolling and mixed modes are 68% and 39%, respectively, compared to the initial design.

본 연구에서는 온도의 상승에 의하여 부피가 팽창하는 열팽창 고무 치공구의 팽창 특성을 이용하여 열경화성 복합재료를 경화하고 압축하는 과정을 실험과 모델링을 통하여 해석하였으며, 열가소성 복합재료의 함침공정을 연구하였다. 열팽창 고무치공구가 사용되는 닫힌계와 열린계에서 예상되는 압력을 이론적으로 유도하였고, 경화가 수반되는 과정에 있어서는 실험을 통하여 열팽창치공구와 프리프레그가 나타내는 압력을 측정하였다. 온도가 상승하고 경화가 수반되는 경우에 등속도 압축실험에 의하여 얻어지는 응력-변형율 곡선은 비선형점탄성 특성을 보여주었는데, 본 연구에서는 Maxwell모델을 KWW(Kohlrausch-Williame-Watts)식으로 변형시킨 모델식을 이용하여 이를 매우 정확하게 표현할 수 있었다. 또한 고무치공구를 이용하여 열가소성 수지의 복합재료 성형공정을 실험하였고, 중성자 레디오그래피 촬영을 통하여 기공의 분포를 관찰하였다.

FACTS(Flexible AC Transmission System) 기기들은 전력계통의 경제적이고 안정적인 운용과 제어에 더 많은 유연성을 제공할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 FACTS 기기들은 기존의 전력 계통 설비들과는 달리 그 특성이 매우 비선형적이고 복잡하기 때문에 기존 전력 계통의 동적 시뮬레이션 알고리즘에 적용시키는 것이 매우 어렵다. 이러한 어려움을 해결하기 위하여 전압원 인버터(Voltage Sourced Inverter) 형태의 FACTS 기기를 병렬 형태로 주입되는 전류로 등가화 하여 기존의 시뮬레이션 알고리즘에 적용하는 방법이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 이 전류 주입형 기법을 이용하여 다수의 FACTS 기기들이 설치된 계통의 동적 안정도 해석 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 서로 다른 형태의 FACTS 기기들이 설치된 경우에도 적용될 수 있으며 이를 이용하여 서로 다른 FACTS 모델들 간의 조합에 의한 계통의 안정도 변화를 사례연구를 통하여 보일 것이다.

For measuring nonlinear Vehicle Modeling based on 7-Depth Sensor, the neural networks are proposed m adaptive and in realtime. The structure of it is similar to recurrent neural networks; a delayed output as the input and a delayed error between the output of plant and neural networks as a bias input. In addition, we compute the desired value of hidden layer by an optimal method instead of transfering desired values by backpropagation and each weights are updated by RLS(Recursive Least Square). Consequently, this neural networks are not sensitive to initial weights and a learning rate, and have a faster convergence rate than conventional neural networks. This new neural networks is Error Estimated Neural Networks. We can estimate nonlinear models in realtime by the proposed networks and control nonlinear models.

In this study, the improved three-dimensional analysis model designed for a more accurate analysis of marine cable-supported structures, is presented. In this improved analysis model, the beam elements, of which the stability function is derived using Taylor's series expansions, are used to model space frame structures, and the truss elements. The equivalent elastic modulus of the truss elements is evaluated on the assumption that the deflection curve of a cable has a catenary function. By using the proposed three-dimensional analysis model, nonlinear static analysis is carried out for some cable-supported structures. The results are compared with previous studies and show good agreement with their findings.

휴머노이드 로봇은 높은 자유도 때문에 생기는 비선형성 때문에, 안정성을 보장하는 것은 중요한 연구 분야중 하나이다. 또한 안정적인 보행을 하기위해서 미지의 환경하에서 발의 착지는 첫 번째 단계중 하나이다. 그러나, 이족보행 로봇은 반작용 없이 안정적인 발의 착지를 하기 위한 정보를 얻는것이 쉽지 않기 때문에, 착지에 관한 많은 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 퍼지 시스템을 이용한 실시간 착지 제어 방법에 대해 제안하였다. 실시간 착지 제어는 다양한 지면의 조건에서 안정성을 갖고 있어야 하는 제약 조건을 갖는다. 이전까지의 연구에서는 실시간 착지제어에 관한 방법이 매우 전무하고 부가적인 기계적 장비를 (특수한 발의 구조) 필요로 하였다. 그러나, 본 논문에서는 힘 센서만을 사용하여 다양한 환경이 인식될수 있게 하였다. 제안된 방법은 19 자유도를 갖는 휴머노이드 모델을 통해 실험되었다.

The nonlinearity and high deformability of rubber make accurate analysis of the behavior of cord-rubber composites a challenging task. Some researchers have adopted the third phase between cord and rubber and have carried out three-phase modeling. However, it is difficult to determine the thickness and properties of the interface in cord-rubber composites. In this study, a two-dimensional finite-element method (2D FEM) is used to investigate the effective and normalized moduli of cord-rubber composites having interfaces of various thicknesses; this model takes into account the 2D generalized plane strain and a plane strain element. The neo-Hookean model is used for the properties of rubber, several interface properties are assumed and three loading directions are selected. It is found that the properties and thickness of the interface can affect the nonlinearity and the effective modulus of cord-rubber composites.
