Among 2-dimensional coastal hydrodynamic finite element models time stepping ADCIRC and STEPM. and harmonic FUNDY and TEA models were compared in order to find out their characteristics and analyze ernr. General feasibility and capability of models were studied by comparing model results with an analytical solution on some reference points and L$_2$norm error in quarter annular domain where analytical solution can be obtained. According to these tests harmonic models FUNDY and TEA were nearly coinciding with analytical solutions and gave better results than time stepping models. STEPM was at least 5 times better than ADCIRC in L$_2$norm error test and it was 7 times worse than harmonic models. It was expected and concluded that these errors might come from phase lag due to cold start condition and nonlinear effect in basic equations of time stepping models.

Behavioral characteristics of shallow circular arches with dynamic loading and different end conditions are analysed. Geometric nonlinearity is modelled using Lagrangian description of the motion. The finite element analysis procedure is used to solve the dynamic equation of motion, and the Newmark method is adopted in the approximation of time integration. The behavior of arches is analysed using the buckling criterion and non-dimensional time, load and shape parameters which Humphreys suggested. But a new deflection-ratio formula including the effect of horizontal displacement plus vertical displacement is presented to apply for the non-symmetric buckling problems. Through the model analysis, it's confirmed that fix-ended arches have higher buckling stability than hinge-ended arches, and arches with the same shape parameter have the same deflection ratio at the same time parameter when loaded with the same parametric load.

The time-dependent temperature distribution across the section in bridges is determined on the basis of the three-dimensional finite element analyses and numerical time integration in this study. The material properties which change with time and thermal stress of concrete are taken into account to effectively trace the early-age structural responses. Since the temperature distribution is nonlinear and depends upon many material constants such as the thermal conductivity, specific heat, hydration heat of concrete, heat transfer coefficients and solar radiation, three representative influencing factors of the construction season, wind velocity and bridge pavement are considered at the parametric studies. The validity of the introduced numerical model is established by comparing the analytical predictions with results from previous analytical studies. On the basis of parametric studies for four different bridge sections, it is found that the creep deformation in concrete bridges must be considered to reach more reasonable design results and the temperature distribution proposed in the Korean bridge design specification need to be improved.

A three-dimensional, finite difference, numerical model with free surface was developed on ${\sigma}$-coordinate. A semi-implicit numerical scheme in time has been adopted for computational efficiency. The scheme is essentially independent of the stringent stability criteria (CFL condition) for explicit schemes of external surface gravity wave. Implicit algorithm was applied for vertical shear stress, Coriolis force and pressure gradient terms. The reliability of the model with vertically variable grid system was checked by the comparison of simulation results with analytic solution of wind-driven currents in a one-dimensional channel. Sensitivity analysis of differencing parameters was carried out by applying the model to the calculation of wind-driven currents in a square lake.

The present study introduces a Legendre interpolation function which is capable of analyzing wave transformation effectively in a finite element method. A Lagrangian interpolation function has been mostly used for a finite element method with a higher-order interpolation function. Although this function has an advantage of giving an accurate result with less number of elements, simulation time increases. Calculation time can be reduced by mass lumping, whereas the accuracy of solution is lowered. In this study, we introduce a modified Lagrangian interpolation function, Legendre cardinal interpolation, which can reduce simulation time with keeping up favorable accuracy. Through various numerical simulations using a Boussinesq equations model, the superiority of the Legendre cardinal interpolation function to a Lagrangian interpolation function was shown.

This paper considers the evaluation of the hybrid acquistion perdformance for the pilot signal in the direct sequence code division multiple access(DS/CDMA) forward link. the hybrid acquisition is introduced by the combination of two schemes, the parallel and serial acquisions. The mean acquisition time of the proposed scheme is derived to consider both the best case(the correct code-phase offsets are included i one subset) and the worst case(the correct code-phase offsets exist at the boundary of two subsets), which are cause by the distribution of the correct code-phase offsets in the subset. Expressions for the detection, false alarm, and miss probabilities are derived for the case of multiple correct code-phase offsets and multipath Rayleigh fading channel. Numerical results present the hybrid acquistion performance with repect to design parameters such as postdetectio integration length in the search and verification modes, subset size, and number of I/Q noncoherent correlators, and compare the hybrid acquistion with the parallel acquistion in terms of the minimum acquistion time under the same hardware complexity.

A damage detection and assessment algorithm is developed by measuring accelerations at limited locations of a structure under forced vibrations. The developed algorithm applies a time-domain system identification (SI) method that identifies a structure by solving a linearly constrained nonlinear optimization problem for optimal structural parameters. An equation error of the dynamic equilibrium of motion is minimized to estimate optimal parameters. An adaptive parameter grouping scheme is applied to localize damaged members with sparse measured accelerations. Damage is assessed in a statistical manner by applying a time-windowing technique to the measured time history of acceleration. Displacements and velocities at the measured degrees of freedom (DOF) are computed by integrating the measured accelerations. The displacements at the unmeasured DOF are estimated as additional unknowns to the unknown structural parameters, and the corresponding velocities and accelerations we computed by a numerical differentiation. A numerical simulation study with a truss structure is carried out to examine the efficiency of the algorithm. A data perturbation scheme is applied to determine the thresholds lot damage indices and to compute the damage possibility of each member.

In this paper, we have shown the gain recovery time of erbium-doped fiber amplifier(EDFA) in WDM add/drop networks can be reduced to less than $3\mu$sec by employing disturbance observer technique with PID controller which is based on 3-level EBFA model. The $3\mu$sec transient time is the fastest one ever reported and it is about $1\%$ of $250\mu$sec previously obtained from disturbance observer technique with PI controller which was based on 2-level EDFA model and it is also less than $200\mu$sec of commercially available EDFAs for WDM networks. We were able to obtain this result by analyzing various system characteristics as we change the parameters of disturbance observer and PID controller. If this result is applied to a commercial product, the product will do an important role in the future dynamic WDM networks.

This paper presents a dynamic crack propagation algorithm based on the Moving Least Squares(MLS) difference method. The derivative approximation for the MLS difference method is derived by Taylor expansion and moving least squares procedure. The method can analyze dynamic crack problems using only node model, which is completely free from the constraint of grid or mesh structure. The dynamic equilibrium equation is integrated by the Newmark method. When a crack propagates, the MLS difference method does not need the reconstruction of mode model at every time step, instead, partial revision of nodal arrangement near the new crack tip is carried out. A crack is modeled by the visibility criterion and dynamic energy release rate is evaluated to decide the onset of crack growth together with the corresponding growth angle. Mode I and mixed mode crack propagation problems are numerically simulated and the accuracy and stability of the proposed algorithm are successfully verified through the comparison with the analytical solutions and the Element-Free Galerkin method results.
