In this paper, we have derived a continuum-based adjoint design sensitivity of general performance functionals with respect to Young' modulus and heat conduction coefficient for steady-state nonlinear thermoelastic problems. An adjoint equation for temperature and displacement fields is defined for the efficient computation of the coupled field design sensitivity. Through numerical examples, we investigated the mesh dependency of the topology optimization method in the thermoelastic problems. Also, comparing the dominant loading cases of thermal and mechanical ones, the loading dependency of topology design optimization in coupled multi-physics problems is investigated.

This study investigates the optimum section properties of newly developed steel-concrete composite beam. For that purpose we developed computer program calculating section properties. The suggested new beam section highly contribute to save inter-story height and reduce construction duration and cost compared with conventional steel works such as H-beam and column + RC slab system. But the section shape have different section modulus with upper and lower fiber because of the unsymmetric cross section. Therefore the parametric study on thickness-ratio of top and bottom flange plate is needed. In this paper the change of neutral axis and section modulus for thickness-ratio of up and down flage plate is analysed and discussed.

This paper suggests the improvement of the Sumjinkang for the estimation of areal averages of heavy rainfall events based on the optimal network and three existing networks. The problem consists of minimizing an objective function which includes both the accuracy of the areal mean estimation as expressed by the Kriging variance and the economic cost of the data collection. The wellknown geostatistical variance-reduction method is used in combination with SATS which is an algorithm of minimization. At the first stage, two kinds of optimal solutions are obtained by two trade-off coefficients. One of them is a optimal solution, the other is an alternative. At the second stage, a quasi optimal network and a quasi alternative are suggested so that the existing raingages near to the selected optimal raingages are included in the two solutions instead of gages of new gages.

This paper presents the relation between risk and safety factor for optimal storm sewer design in urban area. For reliability analysis of the storm sewer, uncertainty of the various parameters of constituting equation determining the capacity and load of storm" sewer is considered and risk is determined. In this study, reliability analysis method is applied to Seongsan detention reservoir basin which area is $381,000m^2$ Darcy-Weisbach equation is used for determining capacity of the storm sewer and rational formula is used for determining load. Safety factor representing ratio of the sewer capacity and design flowrate is calculated, and relating with risk. Then risk and safety factor with return period is obtained and it is used for optimal design of storm sewer.

Characteristics of a piezoelectric material are evaluated to pick up the optimal crystal cut and propagation direction for a SAW device. For the piezoelectric single crystal $LiTaO_4$, such items are investigated as the Rayleigh wave velocity, the electromechanical coupling factor, the surface permittivity, the frequency-temperature coefficient, the air loading attenuation, the pure mode propagation, the beam steering and the misalignment sensitivity. Theoretical calculations reveal that Y-cut and Z-propagation is the optimal SAW propagation path. The results are confirmed through experiments. The method empolyed in this paper is applicable to other crystals, too, either single or poly crystals.

퍼지논리제어기는 산업응용에 광범위하게 연구되고 있으며, 계속적으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 퍼지집합의 조정을 통해 최적규칙을 구축하기 위하여, 시행착오에 의한 매우 능숙한 기술이 요구된다. 이 논문에서는 첫째로, 퍼지논리제어기와 기존의 PID 제어기로 구성된 하이브리드 퍼지제어기를 제안한다. 즉, 시스템의 제어 입력은 퍼지변수로서, 과도상태에서의 FLC출력과 정상상태에서의 PID 출력의 컨벡스(convex) 결합이다. 둘째로, 간략추론법과 개선된 컴플렉스방법을 이용한 강력한 자동동조알고리즘이 퍼지논리제어기의 성능을 자동적으로 개선하기 위하여 사용된다. 이방법은 오차변화율및 제어출력의 제한조건에 의하여, 언어제어규칙, 퍼지계수(scaling factor), PID계수, 하이브리드 퍼지논리제어기의 하중계수의 최적값을 자동적으로 추정한다. 시뮬레이션은 시간지연 플랜트및 하수처리시스템의 활성오니공정과 같은 비선형 플랜트에서 실행되고, 시스템의 성능은 평가지수 ITAE로 평가된다.

The effects of random errors in array weight and sensor positions on the performance of a Linearly constrained linear sensor array is analyzed in a weight vector space. It is observed that a nonorthogonality exists between an optimum weight vector and the steering vector of an interference direction du e to random errors. A novel approach to improving the nulling performance by compensating for the nonorthogonality is proposed. Computer simulation results are presented.

최근의 삼풍백화점 붕괴사고 및 성수대교사고 등 대형사고의 원인을 살펴보면 건물의 안전진단 미비와 구조물의 안전관리 진단판정미비로 건축물의 붕괴를 예측하지 못한 결과이다. 이는 모든 불확실 시스템의 상태를 적당한 항목으로 판정 정규화한 계수값으로 나타내어 예방하지 못한 결과이다. 비단건축물 시스템뿐 아니라 실존 가시물(可視物)과 비가시물(悲歌視物)에 대해서도 비결정 상황의 상태표시계수를 예측하여 정규값으로 나타낼 필요가 있다. 즉, 교통도로의 교통량 특정, 통신신호의 수신율 측정 등을 최적화 예측할 수가 있게된다. 본 논문에서는 환경 및 시스템 출력값에 표시하여 어떤 결과를 가져오는지 확인하기 위하여 평면 상의 임의의 데이터의 조합으로부터 특정 데이타를 선택 최적화하는 과정을 실험화 하였다.

A control of chloride diffusion coefficient is very essential for service life of reinforced concrete (RC) structures exposed to chloride attack so that much studies have been focused on this work. The purpose of this study is to derive the intended diffusion coefficient which satisfies intended service life and propose a technique for optimum concrete mixture through genetic algorithm(GA). For this study, 30 data with mixture proportions and related diffusion coefficients are analyzed. Utilizing 27 data, fitness function for diffusion coefficient is obtained with variables of water to binder ratio(W/B), weight of cement, mineral admixture(slag, flay ash, and silica fume), sand, and coarse aggregate. 3 data are used for verification of the results from GA. Average error from fitness function is observed to 18.7% for 27 data for diffusion coefficient with 16.0% of coefficient of variance. For the verification using 3 data, a range of error for mixture proportions through GA is evaluated to 0.3~9.3% in 3 given diffusion coefficients. Assuming the durability design parameters like intended service life, cover depth, surface chloride content, and replacement ratio of mineral admixture, target diffusion coefficient, where exterior conditions like relative humidity(R.H.) and temperature, is derived and optimum design mixtures for concrete are proposed. In this paper, applicability of GA is attempted for durability mixture design and the proposed technique would be improved with enhancement of comprehensive data set including wider range of diffusion coefficients.
