Reliability analysis of pile type quaywalls were done by using response surface method. Pier structures have implicit form of limit state function since they are flexible in motion, which is different from gravity type quaywalls. To solve a reliability analysis problem with implicit limit state function, response surface method was applied. Reliability indices of structure under seismic load were found for pier structures Then, they were compared with those found by simulation method. In numerical analysis, both the inclined type and vertical type were analyzed.

An estimation method for the amplitude and phase response of transmission line is discussed. and applied to narrow band ISDN subscriber line. The ABCD parameters of line are evaluated from four impedance values: the standard termination impedence at activated and deactivated stares, and the input impedances of line which can be estimated at each state. Estimating input impedence, the “chirp” signal is used as incident signal and noise effect can be reduced by ensemble averaging. These ABCD parameter estimations might be applicable to ether uniform or nonuniform line. Cleary the magnitude and phase response can be obtained from estimated ABCD parameters. The numerical simulation results for N ISDN subscriber line model are included, and the estimation error introduced by deviation in load impedence is also anlyzed.

액체 상태의 물질이 매우 급속하게 냉각되면 일반적으로 과냉각액체(supercooled liquid) 상태에 도달한다. 과냉각액체는 더 낮은 온도에서 유리상(glass phase)으로 상전이를 일으킨다고 알려져 있는데, 이때 나타나는 동역학적 불균일성(dynamic heterogeneity)은 상전이를 기술하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러나 일반적인 액체의 상전이를 연구할 때 주로 사용되던 상관함수(correlation function)으로는 이러한 불균일성을 정량적으로 표현하기 어렵기 때문에 동역학적 민감도(dynamic susceptibility)나 multi-time correlation function 등 동역학적 성질(dynamic property)로부터 특징적인 시간 개념 및 거리 개념을 도출하려는 연구가 많이 진행되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 일반적으로 특징적인 거리 개념을 도출해 내는데 사용되는 4점 밀도 상관함수(four-point density correlation function)인 dynamic susceptibility(${\chi}^4$)가 입자 밀도의 요동(fluctuation)의 상관관계(correlation)가 지속되는 특징적인 시간 개념에 대한 정보 또한 포함하고 있다는 점에 주목하였다. 이에 따라 ${\chi}^4$의 시간에 대한 적분인 ${\tau}_4$를 새롭게 도입하였으며 그 결과로 ${\tau}_4$는 three-time density correlation function으로부터 도출한 ${\tau}_{Dh}$와 같은 축척(scaling)을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 과냉각액체에 대한 장난감 모형(toy model)의 일종인 "Lennard-Jones potential 하에서 운동하는 서로 다른 두 종류의 입자들"을 연구에 사용하였다.

The secondary system of nuclear power plants consists of sophisticated piping systems operating in very aggressive erosion and corrosion environments, which make a piping system vulnerable to the wear and degradation due to the several chemical components and high flow rate (~10 m/sec) of the coolant. To monitor the wear and degradation on a pipe, the vibration signals are measured from the pipe with an accelerometer For analyzing the vibration signal the time-frequency analysis (TFA) is used, which is known to be effective for the analysis of time-varying or transient signals. To reduce the inteferences (cross-terms) due to the bilinear structure of the time-frequency distribution, an adaptive cone-kernel distribution (ACKD) is proposed. The cone length of ACKD to determine the characteristics of distribution is optimally selected through an adaptive algorithm using the normalized Shannon's entropy And the ACKD's are compared with the results of other analyses based on the Fourier Transform (FT) and other TFA's. The ACKD shows a better signature for the wear/degradation within a pipe and provides the additional information in relation to the time that any analysis based on the conventional FT can not provide.

Many structural optimization problems are solved by numerical algorithms since these are complicated and nonlinear. To provide a wider base and popular it to structual design optimization, reliable, accurate and superlinearly convergent nonlinear programming algorithm with active-set strategy have been developed. One of these is RQP(recursive quadratic programming method). This algorithm has several parameters and its performance is influenced by variations of these key parameters. Therefore, an RQP algorithm is selected to enhance its numerical performances by choosing proper parameters. The paper persents these influences on its numerical performance. For comparison of performances, a structural design software for minimum weight of truss subjected to displacement, stress, and lower and upper bounds on design variables is also implemented.

AS it takes a considerable time for database operations for processing the condition part of active rule, the operations have an important effect on the efficiency of active database system. The processing time of operations should be minimized in order to improve the efficiency of system. The previous works are limited to basic database operations and the partial aggregate functions. In this paper, the processing technique using the structuralization and the state table of relations is suggested. The processing time for basic database operations can be reduced with the structuralization of relations to classification tree and the introduction of deletion information table. With the introduction of binary search tree and relation state table, the aggregate function which has a big of processing cost can be processed effectively and the function of the active database system can be maximized.

Majority problem and synchronization problem on cellular automata(CA) are hard to solve, since they are global problems while CA operate on local information. This paper proposes a way to find state transition rules of these problems. The rules of CA are represented as CMR(conditionally matching rules) and evolutionary algorithms are applied to find rules. We find many solution rules to these problems, compared the results with the previous studies, and demonstrated the effectiveness of CMR on one-dimensional cellular automata.

Dielectric constant depends on the variation of soil water content, and the estimation of soil water content using time domain reflectometry (TDR) has been studied by many researchers. The purpose of this study is the development and application of TDR penetrometer (TDRP) in order to evaluate the soil water content according to the penetration depth. The TDRP consists of cone, sleeve, driving rod, hammer, and guide. Three electrodes, which are used to measure the dielectric constant of soils, are mounted on the surface of sleeve and, in turn, connected with coaxial cable and time domain reflectometer. To establish the relationship between the volumetric water content and dielectric constant, several laboratory tests by using the TDRP are performed in the specimens with a variety of volumetric water content. The experimental results show that the dielectric constant is strongly correlated to volumetric water content as polynomial equations with an order of 3. In addition, the volumetric water content calculated from the dielectric constant is similar to that obtained from the sample weight. In the field, a small sampler is used to compare the volumetric water content calculated from the dielectric constant with the volumetric water content obtained from the sample. The results of field application demonstrate that the volumetric water content estimated by the TDRP shows similar trend to the gravimetric water content of sample. This study suggests that the TDRP is effectively used to evaluate the volumetric water content of unsaturated soils according to the penetration depth.

The decision-directed blind equalization algorithm is often used due to its simplicity and good convergence property when the eye pattern is open. However, in a channel where the eye pattern is closed, the decision-directed algorithm is not guaranteed to converge. Hence, a modified Bussgang-type algorithm using a hyperbolic tangent function for zero-memory nonlinear(ZNL) function has been proposed and applied to avoid this problem by Filho et al. But application of this algorithm includes the calculation of hyperbolic tangent function and its derivative or a look-up table which may need a large amount of memory due to channel variations. To reduce the computational and/or hardware complexity of Filho's algorithm, in this paper, an improved method for the decision-directed algorithm is proposed. In the proposed scheme, the ZNL function and its derivative are respectively set to be the original signum function and a narrow rectangular pulse which is an approximation of Dirac delta function. It is shown that the proposed scheme, when it is combined with decision-directed algorithm, reduces the computational complexity drastically while it retains the convergence and steady-state performance of the Filho's algorithm.
