A helideck is one of the essential structures in offshore platforms for the transportation of goods and operating personnel between land and offshore sites. As such, it should be carefully designed and installed for the safety of the offshore platform. In this study, a structural design optimization method for a lightweight offshore helideck is developed based on a genetic algorithm and an attainable design set concept. A helideck consists of several types of structural members such as plates, girders, stiffeners, trusses, and support elements, and the dimensions of these members are typically pre-defined by manufacturers. Therefore, design sets are defined by collecting the standard section data for these members from the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), and integer section labels are assigned as design variables in the genetic algorithm. The objective is to minimize the total weight of the offshore helideck while satisfying the maximum allowable stress criterion under various loading conditions including self-weight, wind direction, landing position, and landing condition. In addition, the unity check process is also utilized for additional verification of structural safety against buckling failure of the helideck.

In this paper, we present a prism-based mesh culling method to improve effectiveness of continuous collision detection which is a major bottleneck in a simulation using polygonal mesh models. A prism is defined based on two matching triangles between a sequence of times m a polygonal model. In order to detect potential colliding set(PCS) of prism between two polygonal models in a unit time, we apply the visibility test based on the occlusion query to two sets of prisms which are defined from two polygonal models in a unit time. Moreover, we execute the narrow band culling based on SAT(Separating Axis Test) to define potential colliding prism pairs from PCS of prisms extracted as a result of the visibility test. In the SAT, we examine one axis to be perpendicular to a plane which divides a 3D space into two half spaces to include each prism. In the experiments, we applied the proposed culling method to pairs of polygonal models with the different size and compared the number of potential colliding prism pairs with the number of all possible prism pairs of two polygonal models. We also compared effectiveness and performance of the visibility test-based method with those of the SAT-based method as the second narrow band culling. In an experiment using two models to consist of 2916 and 2731 polygons, respectively, we got potential colliding prism pairs with 99 % of culling rate.

The complex refractive index of Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) thin films, which can be applied to optical devices or electrical devices, have been determined using optical methods. DLC thin films are grown on Si(100) substrates and vitreous silica substrates respectively, using the technique of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The spectroscopic ellipsometry data($\psi$, $\Delta$) and the transmission spectra of these DLC films are obtained. These optical spectra are analyzed with the help of the Sellmeier dipersion relation and a quantum mechanically derived dispersion relation. Using spectroscopic ellipsometry data at their transparent region, the refractive index and the effective thickness of DLC films on vitreous silica are model calculated, Then the transmission spectra are inverted to yield the extinction coefficient spectra k(λ) at absorbing region. These spectra are fit to the quantum mechanical dispersion relation and the best fit dispersion constants are determined. The complex refractive indices are easily calculated with these constants. The spectroscopic ellipsometry data at the absorbing region in model calculated to give the packing densities and the degrees of surface microroughness of DLC films. Discussions are made in correlation with the growth condition of DLC films.

Recently, research on the multi-agent system is developed actively in the various fields, especially on the control of complex system and optimization. In this study, we develop a multi-agent system for NPC simulation in game environment. The purpose of the development is to support quick and precise decision by inferencing the situation of the dynamic discrete domain, and to support an optimization process of the agent system. Our approach employed Petri-net as a basic agent model to simplify structure of the system, and used fuzzy inference engine to support decision making in various situation. Our experimentation describes situation of the virtual battlefield between the NPCs, which are divided two groups, such as fuzzy rule based agent and automata based agent. We calculate the percentage of winning and survival rate from the several simulations, and the result describes that the fuzzy rule based agent showed better performance than the automata based agent.

자연하천은 일반적으로 만곡수로나 사행수로 형태를 보이고 있으며, 직선수로에서와 달리 원심력에 기인한 이차류 영향을 받게 된다. 이차류에 의해서 수면에서는 만곡부 바깥쪽으로, 하상에서는 만곡부 안쪽으로의 흐름특성을 보이게 된다. 만곡부 안쪽으로 가해지는 하상 전단응력에 기인하여 하상에서의 입자가 만곡부 안쪽으로 이송되며, 결과적으로 만곡부 안쪽에는 점사주가, 바깥쪽에는 소(pool)가 생성된다. 또한 지형경사의 생성으로 입자에 가해지는 중력효과도 변화된다. 따라서 이와 같은 자연하천의 흐름과 하상변동을 수치모의 하기 위해서는 만곡부 이차류 특성을 고려한 모형이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수심 적분된 흐름방정식과 하상토 보존방정식 (Exner equation)을 이용한 하상변동을 위한 비연계 수치모형을 위해서 하상토 보존방정식의 유한요소 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 하상토 보존방정식은 흐름 특성에 따른 평형 유사량의 공간변화율을 이용하여 일정 기간 동안의 하상 변화량을 계산한다. 이 때 이차류에 의한 하상 전단응력의 편각 및 지형경사 변화에 따른 실제 입자의 이송방향을 보정하여 평형 유사량이 계산된다. 이러한 보정식을 적용시키기 위해서는 유속성분의 공간변화량 및 지형경사의 공간성분이 필요하다. 유한요소법은 연속성 변수를 이산화시켜 근사해를 구하는 수치기법의 일종이기 때문에, 요소망이 불규칙적으로 구성되었을 경우 임의의 절점에서 연속성을 지닌 변수의 공간변화율을 계산하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 평형 유사량 계산 시에 절점이 아닌 요소 내부에서 평형 유사량을 계산하는, 하상토 보존방정식의 새로운 유한요소 알고리즘을 개발하고, 새로운 알고리즘을 적용시킨 수치모형의 검증을 행하였다. 경계조건 알고리즘의 검증으로 위해서 Soni 등 (1980)이 행한 상류 유입 유사량에 따른 하상변동을 수치 모의하고 실험치와 비교하였으며, Sutmuller와 Glerum (1980)이 수행한 만곡수로에서의 하상변동을 모의하고 실험과 비교하였다. 새로운 알고리즘을 적용시킨 하상토 보존방정식의 유한요소 수치모형의 결과는 매우 안정적이며, 실험과 매우 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 수치모델은 현재 균일한 입자의 하상토만을 고려하므로, 입자분급이나 하상 장갑화 현상 등은 무시한다.

변형 다중양자우물은 전자 소자와 광전자 소자에 응용할 수 있는 가능성 때문에 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 합성 물질들의 초격자를 연속적으로 증착, 성장하는 디지털 합금은 다중양자우물을 활용한 광전자 소자에서 응용가치가 상당히 높다. 현재 디지털 합금을 이용한 다중양자우물의 성장과 관련한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있고, 특히 InzGaxAl1-z-xP/InAlP 다중양자우물은 광전자 소자로서의 응용가치가 부각되고 있다. 그러나 InzGaxAl1-z-xP/InAlP 다중양자우물의 성장 및 광학적 성질에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되었으나, InzGaxAl1-z-xP/InAlP 다중양자우물에서의 변형효과를 고려한 전자적 성질에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. InzGaxAl1-z-xP/InAlP 다중양자우물에 대한 전자적 성질의 연구는 광소자의 성능 향상을 위해 매우 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 디지털 합금 성장 방법으로 형성한 InzGaxAl1-z-xP/InAlP 다중양자우물의 부띠 사이 천이와 전자 분포를 고찰하였다. 온도에 따른 광루미네센스의 측정을 통해 InzGaxAl1-z-xP/InAlP 다중양자우물에서 나타나는 부띠 사이의 천이를 관찰하였다. 가변 메시 유한 차분법을 이용한 이산적 모델을 통해 변형효과가 다중양자우물 구조에서 부띠에 주는 영향을 조사하였다. 격자의 불일치로 인한 변형 효과와 8-band envelope function approximation을 고려한 슈뢰딩거 방정식을 사용하여 InzGaxAl1-z-xP/InAlP 다중양자우물에서의 전자 부띠 에너지와 에너지 파동 함수를 계산하였다. 계산한 부띠 사이 천이 에너지와 광루미네센스 측정에서 보인 엑시톤 천이 에너지를 비교하였을 때, 작은 차이 값이 나타났다. 증착과정에서의 이종접합사이에서 발생하는 불확실성을 고려한다면 이 차이 값은 오차범위 안에 포함되며, 계산 값과 실험 값이 잘 일치하는 것으로 볼 수 있다.

The shock wave and boundary layer interaction patterns in an over-expanded rocket nozzle are associated with the production of undesirable side-forces during the start-up and shut-down processes of the engine. In the present work, a computational study is carried out to investigate the effect of the transient nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) on the flow fields inside the nozzle. The unsteady, compressible, axisymmetric, Navier-Stocks equations with SST k-${\omega}$ turbulence model are solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. NPR is varied from 2.0 to 10.0, in order to simulate the start-up and shut-down processes of the rocket engine. It is observed that the interaction patterns and the hysteresis phenomenon strongly depend on the time variation of NPR, leading to significantly different characteristics in the lateral forces.

The international standard signature algorithm DSA has been guaranteed its security based on discrete logarithm problem. Recently, the DSA was known to be vulnerable to some fault analysis attacks in which the secret key stored inside of the device can be extracted by occurring some faults when the device performs signature algorithm. After analyzing an existing fault attack presented by Bao et al., this paper proposed a new fault analysis attack by disturbing the random number. Furthermore, we presented a countermeasure to compute DSA signature that has its immunity in the two types of fault attacks. The security and efficiency of the proposed countermeasure were verified by computer simulations.

In this study, the optimal buffer size is calculated for seamless video playback on a mobile device. Buffer means the memory space for multimedia packet which arrives in mobile device for video play such as VOD service. If the buffer size is too large, latency time before video playback can be longer. However, if it is too short, playback service can be paused because of shortage of packets arrived. Hence, the optimal buffer size insures QoS of video playback on mobile devices. We model the process of buffering into a discret-time queueing model. Mean busy period length and mean waiting time of Geo/G/1 queue with N-policy is analyzed. After then, we uses the main performance measures to present numerical examples to decide the optimal buffer size on mobile devices. Our results enhance the user satisfaction by insuring the seamless playback and minimizing the initial delay time in VOD streaming process.

Counter Fire Operations can be characterized as having a system of systems that key features include situational awareness, command and control systems and highly responsive strike achieved by precision weapons. Current modeling methodology cannot provide an appropriate methodology for a system of systems and utilizes modeling and simulation tools to implement analytic options which can be time consuming and expensive. We explain developing methodology and tools for the effectiveness analysis of the counter fire operations under Network Centric Warfare Environment and suggest how to support a efficient decision making with the methodology and tools. Theater Counter Fire Operations tools consist of Enemy block, ISR block, C2 block and Shooter block. For the convenience of using by domain expert or non simulation expert, it is composed of the environments that each parameter and algorithm easily can be altered by user.
