The functions and their graphs are very important parts in mathematical educations. But there seems be a lot of students studying the functions and their graphs without grasping the meaning of them and without interest with them. We present a learning method of how to match functions and their graphs with outlines of various shapes. That is, outlines of the shapes are assumed to be the graphs of the functions and the graphs will be plotted on the screen of a computer with help of the computer algebra system.

This paper derives Isogeometric analysis and post-processing method of surface that are generated by NURBS basis function for accurate geometric modeling and structure analysis of free-form. By deforming these parameters that are consisted of control points, knots, polynomial, variable geometric models are derived. The basis function that is used to Isogeometric analysis is same to the basis function of NURBS that is used to generate geometric models. For performing isogeometric analysis, h-p-k refinement is performed without changing of original geometry. To visualize the results of isogeometric analysis that control points' displacements, post-processing method that is the interface method between IGES format and Rhinoceros is derived.

본 논문에서는 MLS기반 유한요소에 대한 개략적인 현재 개발상황과 향후 예상할 수 있는 응용분야에 대한 제안을 하였다. 이동최소제곱근사를 이용하여 형상함수를 생성하는 MLS기반 유한요소는, 요소의 경계에서 기존 유한요소의 성질-크로네커 델타 조건-을 가지면서도 기존 요소가 갖지 못했던 임의의 절점추가가 자유롭다는 장점이 있어 다양한 변절점요소로의 개발이 이루어져왔다. 선형 또는 이차형상함수를 갖는 2차원 변절점요소 뿐 아니라, 균열선단과 균열면을 포함하고 있는 2차원 균열요소와 3차원에서의 제한적인 변절점요소 등이 개발되어 다양한 불연속성 문제에 적용 가능함이 입증되었다. 이러한 MLS기반 유한요소는 향후 2차원 변절점 3각요소, 2차원 삼각균열요소, 변절점 쉘요소, 균열 쉘요소, 마칭큐브알고리즘에 적합한 3차원 변절점요소로의 개발이 가능할 것으로 예상되며, 본 논문에서는 3차원 변절점요소를 이용한 복잡한 요소망 생성에 대한 예제로 대퇴골의 요소망 생성을 보였다.

This paper describes an automatic finite element mesh generation for finite element analysis of three-dimensional structures. It is consisting of fuzzy knowledge processing, bubble meshing and solid geometry modeler. This novel mesh generation process consists of three subprocesses: (a) definition of geometric model, i.e. analysis model, (b) generation of bubbles, and (c) generation of elements. One of commercial solid modelers is employed for three-dimensional solid structures. Bubble is generated if its distance from existing bubble points is similar to the bubble spacing function at the point. The bubble spacing function is well controlled by the fuzzy knowledge processing. The Delaunay method is introduced as a basic tool for element generation. Automatic generation of finite element for three-dimensional solid structures holds great benefits for analyses. Practical performances of the present system are demonstrated through several mesh generations for 3D geometry.

본 논문에서는 다양체 (manifold) 구조와 스칼라 변위함수 (scalar displacement function)에 기반한 새로운 변위곡면 (displaced surface)의 표현 기법을 제안한다. 변위곡면은 제어메쉬 (control mesh)의 각 정점에서 변위된 국소적 패치들 (displaced local patches)을 블렌딩 (blending)함으로써 생성된다. 제안된 변위곡면은 점 군 (point cloud)의 형태로 주어진 기하학적 모델을 근사하기 위해서 사용된다. 점 군의 데이터로터 제어메쉬가 생성되고, 점 군의 점들이 제어메쉬의 국소적 패치들 (local patches)에 사영 (projection)되어 각 패치들로 부터의 스칼라 변위함수가 구해지고, 이러한 변위함수들을 최적화 하여 높은 정밀도를 갖는 최종적인 곡면을 생성된다. 점 군의 형태로 주어진 다양한 모델에 대한 실험 결과를 통해서 제안된 근사기법의 효율성과 정밀도가 입증된다. 본 논문에서 제안된 표현기법은 다 단계 (multi-level) 변위함수를 통해 다중해상도 표현 (multi-resolution representations)과 골격기반 형상변형 (skeleton-driven deformation)등과 같은 다양한 응용들에 효율적으로 사용된다.

A level set based topological shape optimization using extended B-spline basis functions is developed for steady-state heat conduction problems. The only inside of complicated domain identified by the level set functions is taken into account in computation, so we can remove the effects of domain outside parts in heat conduction problem. The solution of Hamilton-Jacobi equation leads to an optimal shape according to the normal velocity field determined from the sensitivity analysis, minimizing a thermal compliance while satisfying a volume constraint. To obtain exact shape sensitivity, the precise normal and curvature of geometry need to be determined using the level set and B-spline basis functions. Using topological derivative concept, the nucleation of holes for topological changes can be made whenever and wherever necessary during the optimization.

본 논문에서는 SVM (Support Vector Machine)을 기반으로 하여 인체의 뇌 하부구조인 해마에 대한 지능적 형상분석 방법을 제공한다. 일반적으로 의료 영상으로부터 해마의 형상 분석을 하기 위해서는 충분한 임상 데이터를 필요로 한다. 하지만 현실적으로 많은 양의 표본들을 얻는 것이 쉽지 않기 때문에 전문가의 지식을 기반으로 한 작업이 수반되어야 한다. 결국 이러한 요소들이 분석 작업을 어렵게 한다. 의학 기술이 복잡해 지면서 최근의 형상 분석 연구는 점차 통계적 모델을 기반으로 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 해마로부터 고해상도의 매개변수형 모델을 만들어 형상 표현으로 이용하고, 집단간 분류 작업에 SVM 알고리즘을 적용하는 지능적 분석 방법을 구현한다. 우선 메쉬 데이터로부터 물리변형모델 기반의 매개변수 모델을 구축하고, PDM (point distribution model) 방법을 적용하여 두 집단을 대표하는 평균 모델을 생성한다. 마지막으로 SVM 기반의 이진 분류기를 구축하여 집단간 분류 작업을 수행한다. 구현한 모델링 방법과 분류기의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 네 가지 커널 함수 (linear, radial basis function, polynomial, sigmoid)들을 적용한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 매개변수형 모델은 다양한 형태의 의료 데이터로부터 보편적인 3차원 모델을 생성하고, 또한 모델의 전역적, 국부적인 특징들을 복합적으로 표현할 수 있기 때문에 통계적 형상분석에 적합하다. 그리고 SVM 기반의 분류기는 적은 수의 학습 데이터로부터 정상인 해마 집단과 간질 환자 집단간의 정확한 분류를 가능하게 한다.

Using a level set method and topological derivatives, a topological shape optimization method that is independent of an initial design is developed for linearly elastic structures. In the level set method, the initial domain is kept fixed and its boundary is represented by an implicit moving boundary embedded in the level set function, which facilitates to handle complicated topological shape changes. The "Hamilton-Jacobi(H-J)" equation and computationally robust numerical technique of "up-wind scheme" lead the initial implicit boundary to an optimal one according to the normal velocity field while minimizing the objective function of compliance and satisfying the constraint of allowable volume. Based on the asymptotic regularization concept, the topological derivative is considered as the limit of shape derivative as the radius of hole approaches to zero. The required velocity field to update the H-J equation is determined from the descent direction of Lagrangian derived from optimality conditions. It turns out that the initial holes are not required to get the optimal result since the developed method can create holes whenever and wherever necessary using indicators obtained from the topological derivatives. It is demonstrated that the proper choice of control parameters for nucleation is crucial for efficient optimization process.

This paper presents a technique to generate road surface profiles in a spatial domain using a power spectral density function. A single track power spectral density function is proposed to describe a road surface profile, which is also applicable for multi-track vehicle response analysis. The roads in lateral direction makes the relation between the coherence of the lateral tracks. The derived road surfaces are compared to ISO(International Organization for Standardization) standards. Generated road profiles are in good agreements with the target road PSD shape and measured coherence relation.

In this paper, a variational formulation for plane elasticity problems is derived based on an isogeometric approach. The isogeometric analysis is an emerging methodology such that the basis functions for response analysis are generated directly from NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) geometry. Furthermore, the solution space for the response analysis can be represented in terms of the same functions to represent the geometry, which enables to provide a precise construction method of finite element model to exactly represent geometry using B-spline base functions in CAD geometric modeling and analyze arbitrarily shaped structures without re-meshing. In this paper, a continuum-based adjoint sensitivity analysis method using the isogeometric approach is extensively derived for the plane elasticity problems. The conventional shape optimization using the finite element method has some difficulties in the parameterization of geometry In the isogeometric analysis, however, the geometric properties are already embedded in the B-spline basis functions and control points so that it has potential capability to overcome the aforementioned difficulties. Through some numerical examples, the developed isogeometric sensitivity analysis method is verified to show excellent agreement with finite difference sensitivity.
