In this study, we propose a new three-node hybrid-mixed curved beam element with the relaxed-equiribrium stress functions for static analysis. The proposed element considering shear deformation is based on the Hellinger-Reissner variational principle. The stress functions are carefully chosen from three important considerations: (i) all the kinematic deformation modes must be suppressed, and (ii) the spurious constraints must be removed in the limiting behaviors via the field-consistency, and (iii) the relaxed equilibrium conditions could be incorporated because it might be impossible to select the stress functions and parameters to fully satisfy both the equiribrium conditions and the suppression of kinematic deformation modes in the three-node curved beam hybrid-mixed formulation. Numerical examples confirm the superior and stable behavior of the proposed element regardless of slenderness ratio and curvature. Besides, the proposed element shows the outstanding performance in predicting the stress resultant distributions.

The covered interest rate parity condition (CIRP) has been widely used in open macroeconomic analysis, risk management, exchange rate forecasts, and so forth. Due to the recent global financial crises, there have been remarkable changes in the financial markets of the emerging markets. These changes possibly influenced the dynamics of the covered interest rate parity condition. In this paper, we investigate whether the CIRP dynamics has changed, and what is the nature of the regime changes. To do this, we propose and estimate multiple-state Markov regime switching models using a Bayesian MCMC method. Our estimation results indicate that the default risk or the deviation from the CIRP has been decreased after the crisis. It seems to be associated with the more active interaction between the short-term bond market and the short-term foreign exchange market than before. The tightened relation of these two financial markets is caused by the arbitrage transaction of foreign investors.

This paper deals with the free vibration of horizontally curved beams with transition currie. Based on the dynamic equilibrium equations of a curved beam element subjected to the stress resultants and inertia forces, the governing differential equations are derived for the out-of-plane vibration of curved beam with variable curvature. These equations are applied to the beam having transition curve in which the clothiod curve is chosen in this study. The differential equations are solved by the numerical methods lot calculating the natural frequencies and mode shapes. For verifying theories developed herein, the frequency parameters obtained from this studs and ADINA are compared with each other. As the numerical results, the various parametric studies effecting on natural frequencies are investigated and those results are presented in tables and figures.

In the feasibility analysis, Braess' Paradox results in the negative social benefit in spite of adding transportation facilities. Consequently, it has been difficult to judge on the investment of SOC projects. This research aims to analyze the Braess' Paradox in the feasibility analysis and to seek a remedy for the Paradox. Several experiments were conducted on the simple network under the various conditions. From the experiments, following findings were validated: Braess' Paradox occurred only if travel demands met within certain intermediate range. In terms of traffic assignment method, the SO was more likely to reduce the effect of the Braess' Paradox than the UE. However, the Braess' Paradox in the benefit of operating cost saving occurred in all cases and the paradox in the total benefit continued. In order to solve the problem, new link cost function considered travel time and operating cost simultaneously were suggested. As a result, the negative benefit was significantly decreased in the UE case and total negative benefit was no longer shown in the SO case through the analysis.

Load balancing attempts to improve the performance of a distributed computing system by transferring some of the workload of a congested site to others. A load balancing scheme that supports both the source-initiated and the server- initiated load balancing is proposed in this paper. It can model both the m/m/1 queue(no load balancing) and the m/m/n queue(perfect load balancing) as the extreme State variables are replicated into every site, and copy consistency constraints are relaxed more weakly. We propose weak copy consistency constraints which correlate the outdated state information to that of the current state. We also derive sufficient conditions under which each scheduler can guarantee the load balancing without communication Using this model, the problem of load balancing is converted to that of maintaining the consistency of states and communication overhead becomes less than that of the bidding algorithm. The scheme is simulated by event tracing, compared to the two extreme cases and the bidding algorithm. The results show that the mean response time and the number of messages are reduced by 0-35% and 40-100% respectively, compared with the bidding algorithm. Finally the effects of some system parameters are described.

This papter presents the use of the automatic differential method based on the backpropagation method to obtain the design sensitivity and its application to topology optimization considering the stress constraints. Solving topology optimization problems with stress constraints is difficult owing to singularities, the local nature of stress constraints, and nonlinearity with respect to design variables. To solve the singularity problem, the stress relaxation technique is used, and p-norm for stress constraints is applied instead of local stresses for global stress measures. To overcome the nonlinearity of the design variables in stress constraint problems, it is important to analytically obtain the exact design sensitivity. In conventional topology optimization, design sensitivity is obtained efficiently and accurately using the adjoint variable method; however, obtaining the design sensitivity analytically and additionally solving the adjoint equation is difficult. To address this problem, the design sensitivity is obtained using a backpropagation technique that is used to determine optimal weights and biases in the artificial neural network, and it is applied to the topology optimization with the stress constraints. The backpropagation technique is used in automatic differentiation and can simplify the calculation of the design sensitivity for the objectives or constraint functions without complicated analytical derivations. In addition, the backpropagation process is more computationally efficient than solving adjoint equations in sensitivity calculations.

This study was aimed to analyze the changes in rheological properties of sausages added tenderizer made with over-matured used-up fruits such as kiwifruit, grape, and pear. The tenderizers were manufactured by various concentration of fruit extract and added to the sausage at different heating temperatures. Failure stress and stress relaxation of beef sausage mixed with different tenderizers were measured with Rheometer, and analyzed with 3-element Maxwell model. As a result of the rheological measurements, over-matured kiwifruit extract showed the best tenderness effect among other fruit extracts, and the more kiwi contents were added, the beef texture turned to softer. The instantaneous stress and elastic component of beef mixed with various tenderizers were decreased at higher concentrations and lower heating temperatures. This study was well expressed the numerical magnitude of viscoelastic components of beef sausages to determine the tenderizer effect.

A method of optimal active and reactive power control for economic operation in electrical power system is presented in this paper. The major features and techniques of this paper are as follows: 1) The method presented for obtaining the equivalent active power balance equation applying the sparse Jacobian matrix of power flow equation instead of using B constant as active power Balance equation considering transmission loss, and for determining directly optimal active power allocation without repeating calculations. 2) More reasonable and economic profit by minimizing total fuel cost of thermal power plants instead of using transmission loss as objective function of reactive Power control can be achieved. 3) Particularly in reactive power control, computing time can be considerably reduced by using Fuzzy Linear Programming instead of using conventional Linear Programming.

본 연구에서는 $H_2+CO_2$(40%) 혼합기체로부터 이산화탄소를 효과적으로 분리/회수 하기 위하여 가스 하이드레이트 형성법을 제안하였다. 하이드레이트의 형성 조건을 보다 완화시켜 주기 위하여 열역학적 촉진제로서 TBAB (Tetra-n-butyl Ammonium Bromide, $(C_4H_9)_4NBr$))와 THF(Tetrahydrofuran)를 각각 첨가하여 열역학적 촉진 현상을 살펴보았다. 다양한 농도의 TBAB(10, 40, 60 wt%)와 THF(1, 5.56, 10 mol%)에 대하여 3상(H - Lw - V) 평형을 측정하였다. 그 결과 40 wt%의 TBAB와 5.56 mol%의 THF의 농도에서 가장 큰 촉진효과를 보였으며 그 이상의 농도에서는 오히려 촉진효과가 줄어드는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 혼합가스 하이드레이트 형성시 양론비 이상의 TBAB와 THF가 첨가될 경우 반응에 참여하지 못한 TBAB와 THF가 가스 하이드레이트 형성을 방해하기 때문이다. 열역학적 촉진제로서 실제공정에 적용할 경우 40 wt%의 TBAB와 5.56 mol%의 THF를 사용하는 것이 가장 효과적일 것으로 사료된다. 본 실험에서 얻어진 결과는 가스 하이드레이트 형성법을 이용한 합성가스 분리 공정 개발에 중요한 기초 자료가 될 것이다.
