In this study, an automated optimum design program for steel box girder bridges has been developed for the optimum design of composite steel box girder bridges. The design constraints required for the optimum design of steel box girder bridges are based on the Korean standard bridge specification. Considering characteristics of steel box girder bridges, several approximation techniques, such as artificial constraint deletion, variable linking and stress reanalysis technique etc. are also introduced to enhance the efficiency of optimization. The developed program is mainly composed of major sub-system modules including structural analysis module using commercial structural analysis program such as RM-SPACEFRAME, optimum design module, pre-process module for friendly user input, and post-processor module for office automation. In addition, in order to demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the developed optimum design program for steel box girder bridges, a few numerical examples are applied. Based on the results of the application, it may be stated that the automatic optimum design program developed in this study can be a prototype model for the developement of optimum design program for other type of bridge.

This paper studies the Element Connectivity Parameterization Method(ECP method) for topology optimization considering dynamic compliance. The previous element density based topology optimization method interpolates Young's modulus with respect to design variables defined in each element for topology optimization. Despite its various applications, these element density based methods suffer from numerical instabilities for nonlinear structure and multiphysics systems. To resolve these instabilities, recently a new numerical method called the Element Connectivity Parameterization(ECP) Method was proposed. Unlike the existing design methods, the ECP method optimizes the connectivities among plane or solid elements and it shows some advantages in topology optimization for both nonlinear structure and multiphysics systems. In this study, the method was expanded for topology optimization for the dynamic compliance by developing a way to model the mass matrix in the framework of the ECP method.

본 학술기사의 목적은 구조설계를 위한 강력하고도 유용한 도구로서의 최적화기법을 소개하는 것이고 현재의 기술현황을 보여주는 것이다. 최적화의 발전은 유한요소법과 컴퓨터기법 그리고 최적화알고리즘 및 소프트웨어의 동시적인 발전으로부터 이루어진다. 이렇게 됨으로써 사용자가 꼭 최적화 이론가가 될 필요성은 없어질 것이고 모든 공학자는 설계의 질과 생산성을 증진시키기 위해 최적화를 훌륭한 설계기술로서 이용할 수가 있게 될 것이다. 최적화를 위한 두가지 접근방안이 제안되었다. 하나는 최적화 과정중 직접적으로 사용되는 민감도 정보를 제공하기 위해 유한요소해석 프로그램을 수정하는 것이고, 다른 하나는 설계변수와 구조응답들로 구성된 목적함수, 제약조건으로된 최적화문제에 최적화기법을 연결하는 것이다. 가장 좋은 방법은 이 두 접근방법의 조합된 방법인 것 같지만 서로 모순된 것 같기 때문에 분명하지가 않다. 따라서 이 부분은 앞으로 주목을 받을 충분한 가치가 있는 내용이 될 것이다. 원료 부족에 대한 인식의 증대와 부존에너지자원의 빠른 고갈은 경량이면서 효율적이고 경제적인 구조물에 대한 욕구를 증폭시켰다. 따라서 오늘날의 유용하고, 거대한 계산능력을 고려한다면, 최적화기법을 사용하고자 하는 동기는 충분한 것이고 숙련된 공학설계자들에 의해 응용됨으로써 최적화는 경쟁적인 우위를 제공하는 강력한 도구가 될 수 있을 것이다.

This paper proposes a decentralized adaptive output-feedback controller design for nonlinear interconnected systems with unknown time delays. The interaction terms with unknown delays are related to all states of subsystems. The time-delayed functions are compensated by using appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and function approximation technique. The observer dynamic surface design technique is employed to design the proposed memoryless local controller for each subsystem. In addition, we prove that all signals in the closed-loop system are semiglobally uniformly bounded and control errors converge to an adjustable neighborhood of the origin.

Since an orthotropic steel deck bridge has large number of design variables and shows complex structural behavior, it would be very difficult and impractical to directly use a Conventional Single Level (CSL) optimization algorithm for its optimum design. Thus, in this paper, an Improved Multi Level Design Synthesis (IMLDS) optimization algorithm is proposed to improve the computational efficiency. In the proposed IMLDS algorithm, a coordination method is introduced to divide the bridge into main girders and orthotropic steel deck with preserving the characteristics of the structural behavior. For an efficient optimization of the bridge, the IMLDS algorithm incorporates the various crucial approximation techniques such as constraints deletion, Automatic Differentiation (AD), stress reanalysis, and etc. In the case of orthotropic steel deck system, optimum design problems are characterized by mixed continuous discrete variables and discontinuous design space. Thus, a modified Genetic Algorithm (GA) is also applied to optimize discrete member design for orthotropic steel deck. From the numerical example, the efficiency and convergency of the IMLDS algorithm proposed in this paper is investigated. It may be positively stated that the IMLDS algorithm will lead to more effective and practical design compared with previous algorithms.

다수의 양수정이 연결된 군정은 복수 개의 펌프와 상당한 길이의 관수로 구성된다. 이 때 펌프-관망 시스템의 생애주기 비용의 최소화를 위하여 재료비, 시공비 등이 고려된 초기비용과 양수정 가동을 위한 에너지비용으로 구성되는 운영비용을 최소화하기 위한 기법을 연구하였다. 이 두 가지 비용은 서로 반비례 하는 형상을 띄고 있다. 따라서 관망의 각 요소와 펌프의 종류 및 소요 동력을 감안하여 설계해야 한다. 가령, 직경이 커질수록 펌프가 제공해야 하는 양정이 줄어들어 소요 동력 비용은 줄어들지만 초기 설치비가 증가하므로 이들의 상관관계를 알아내어 적절한 균형을 찾아내야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서 고려한 최적화 결정변수는 관경과 펌프 사양이다. 펌프-관망 시스템 최적화의 제약 조건에는 별도의 지하수 관정 최적설계 기술로 도출된 관정들의 위치, 양수량 분포, 그리고 각 양수정의 수위이다. 최적화 기법으로는 유전자 방법을 사용하였다.

In addition to the research on noise removal and super-resolution using the data restoration (Output result) function of Autoencoder, research on the performance improvement of clustering using the dimension reduction function of autoencoder are actively being conducted. The clustering function and data restoration function using Autoencoder have common points that both improve performance through the same learning. Based on these characteristics, this study conducted an experiment to see if the autoencoder model designed to have excellent data recovery performance is superior in clustering performance. Skip connection technique was used to design autoencoder with excellent data recovery performance. The output result performance and clustering performance of both autoencoder model with Skip connection and model without Skip connection were shown as graph and visual extract. The output result performance was increased, but the clustering performance was decreased. This result indicates that the neural network models such as autoencoders are not sure that each layer has learned the characteristics of the data well if the output result is good. Lastly, the performance degradation of clustering was compensated by using both latent code and skip connection. This study is a prior study to solve the Hanja Unicode problem by clustering.

This paper is concerned with a combination of experimental and analytical investigation aimed at identifying modeling errors, accounted for the lack of correlation between experimental measurements and analytical predictions of the modal parameters for lap joint panels. A nonlinearity vibration test methodology, initiated from the theoretical analysis, is suggested for measurements of dynamic stiffnesses in a lap joint using the rivet fastener. Based on the experimental evidence on discrepancies between measured and predicted frequencies, improved finite element models of the joint are developed using PATRAN and ABAQUS, in which the beam element size is evaluated from the joint stiffnesses readily determined in the test. The beam element diameter as a principal design parameter is tuned to match experimental results within the evaluated bound value. Frequencies predicted by the proposed numerical model are compared with frequencies measured by the test. Improved predictions based on this new model are observed when compared with those based on conventional modeling practices.

In the ATM networks, there are two method in traffic control as schemes to improve the quality of service; one is the reactive control after congestion and the other is the preventive control before congestion. The preventive control include the CAC(Connection Admission Control), the UPC(Usage Parameter Control), the NPC(Network Parameter Control) and the PC(Priority co ntrol). In this paper, we propose an efficient UPC algorithm that has a complex structure using the Jumping window algorithm within the Leaky Bucket algorithm. The proposed algorithm controls peak hit rate by the Leaky Bucket algorithm, then it does the traffic control to evaluate by the Jumping Window whether violates mean bit rate or not. As we assume On/Off traffic source model, our simulation results showed cell loss rate less than the pre-existential Leaky Bucket algorithm method, and it could decrease the demanded Bucket size.
