Construction projects are becoming larger in size and higher in complexity. Operation and maintenance, therefore, is an important part in providing the serviceability of the built facility from the perspective of life-cycle. This paper presents a 3D graphic model-integrated data extraction for bridge maintenance. The 3D graphic model environment assigns attributes to the member blocks in CAD, and link the attributes to the data stored in a database. Then, the user can click the member block to extract the data associated with the attributes. A prototype has been developed to test the applicability of the 3D graphic model environment using CAD and web. Application of the system in an actual bridge construction showed that the 3D graphic model environment can help the user find necessary data at a shorter time, thereby increasing the effectiveness of operation and maintenance in bridge structures.

The research on the FPGA CAD tools in academia has been lacking practicality due to the underlying FPGA fabric architecture which is too simple and inefficient to be applied for commercial FPGAs. Recently, the database of placement positions and routing graphs on commercial FPGA architectures has been built, and provided for enabling the academic development of placement and routing tools. To extend the limit of academic CAD tools even further, we have developed the evaluation toolkit for the K-FPGA architecture which is under development. By providing interface for exchanging data with a commercial FPGA toolkit at every step of mapping, packing, placement and routing in the tool chain, the toolkit enables individual tools to be developed without waiting for the results of the preceding step, and with no dependency on the quality of the results, and compared in detail with commercial tools at any step. Also, the fabric primitive library is developed by extracting the prototype from a reporting file of a commercial FPGA, restructuring it, and modeling the behavior of basic gates. This library can be used as the benchmarking target, and a reference design for new FPGA architectures. Since the architecture is described in a standard HDL which is familiar with hardware designers, and read in the tools rather than hard coded, the tools are "data-driven", and tolerable with the architectural changes due to the design space exploration. The experiments confirm that the developed library is correct, and the functional correctness of applications implemented on the FPGA fabric can be validated by simulation. The placement and routing tools are under development. The completion of the toolkit will enable the development of practical FPGA architectures which, in return, will synergically animate the research on optimization CAD tools.

MDO framework, which provides multidisciplinary system design and optimization environment, requires integration of the analyses codes developed at various computer languages and operating systems, integration of CAD and DBMS, and development of complex GUI. Emphases must be given to the software modification and upgrades in conjunction with the analysis code addition and MDO method implementation. In this study, techniques about system integration and analysis code interface have been studied extensively, and the database design and communication methods which can handle the MDO methods like MDF and CO have been studied. Using the dedicated MDO framework developed for the air vehicle design, the multidisciplinary fighter aircraft wing design has been performed to demonstrate the efficiency and usefulness of the software. Optimum wing configuration is derived using the gradient-based optimization methods within thirty design iterations.

In this paper, we present a network-based integrated nesting system, that is adapted a current engineering concept. Generally, sheet cutting processes proceed in turn following an existing order In this study, however, the special characteristics of these processes were analyzed and the processes were redesigned with distributed design so that they could be operated in a client/server environment. Also, the necessary sheet material cutting processes, part CAD, nesting, part CAM, and NC post-processor capabilities, were implemented so that many workers could handle them all on the Web. Compared to existing commonly used systems, the developed system can provide integrated work environment for cutting automation, allow job collaboration between workers, and it has proved that it can shorten the standby time for work. By grafting computer system technologies to sheet material cutting automation field, this research expects to contribute to the enhancement of factory automation efficiency and productivity.

Surveying by using terrestrial LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) is more rapid than by using total station which enables tunnel section profile surveying to be done in suitable time and minimize centerline error, occurrence of overcut and undercut. Therefore, utilization of terrestrial LiDAR has increased more and more in section profile survey and measurement field Moreover, studies of terrestrial LiDAR for accurate and efficient utilization is now ongoing vigorously. Average end area formula, which was generally used to calculate overcut and undercut, was compared with existing methods such as total station survey and photogrammetry. However, there are no criteria of spacing distance for calculating overcut and undercut through terrestrial LiDAR surveying which can acquire 3D information of whole tunnel. This research performed reverse engineering to decide optimal spacing distance when surveying tunnel section profile by comparing whole tunnel volume and tunnel volume in difference spacing distance. This result was utilized to produce CAD drawing for the test tunnel site where there is no design drawings. In addition to this, efficiency of LiDAR and accuracy of CAD drawing was compared with targetless total station surveying of tunnel section profile. Finally, error analysis of target coordinate's accuracy and incidence angle was done in order to verify the accuracy of terrestrial LiDAR technology.

Researches on integration of design and construction information from earlier era focused on the conceptual data models. Development and prevalent use of commercial database management system led many researchers to design database schemas for enlightening of relationship between non-graphic data items. Although these researches became the foundation fur the proceeding researches. they did not utilize the graphic data providable from CAD system which is already widely used. 4D CAD concept suggests a way of integrating graphic data with schedule data. Although this integration provided a new possibility for integration, there exists a limitation in data dependency on a specific application. This research suggests a new approach on integration for design and construction information, 'Product Model Centered Integration Methodology'. This methodology achieves integration by preliminary research on existing methodology using 4D CAD concept. and by development and application of new integration methodology, 'Product Model Centered Integration Methodology'. 'Design Component' can be converted into digital format by object based CAD system. 'Unified Object-based Graphic Modeling' shows how to model graphic product model using CAD system. Possibility of reusing design information in latter stage depends on the ways of creating CAD model, so modeling guidelines and specifications are suggested. Then prototype system for integration management, and exchange are presented, using 'Product Frameworker', and 'Product Database' which also supports multiple-viewpoints. 'Product Data Model' is designed, and main data workflows are represented using 'Activity Diagram', one of UML diagrams. These can be used for writing programming codes and developing prototype in order to automatically create activity items in actual schedule management system. Through validation processes, 'Product Model Centered Integration Methodology' is suggested as the new approach for integration of design and construction information.

In this paper, we proposed a design method of parameterized viterbi decoder, which automatically synthsizes the diverse viterbi deciders used in the digital mobile communication systems. It is designed to synthesize a viterbi decoder specified by user-provided parameters. Those parameters are constraint length, code rate generator polynomials of teh convolutional encoder, data rate and bits/frame of the data transmission, and soft decision bits of viterbi decoder. For the design of the parameterized viterbi decoder, we designed a user interface module C-language, and a viterbi decoder module in a hierarchical atructure using VHDL language and its generic statement. For the verification of the parameterized viterbi decoder, we compared our synthesized viterbi decoder with the conventional viterbi decoder which is designed for the IS-95 CDMA system. The proposed design method of the viterbi decoder will be a new method to obtain a required viterbi decoder in a very short time only by supplying the design parameters.

When a radar tracks the warhead of a ballistic missile, decoys of a ballistic missile put a heavy burden on the radar resource management tracking the targets. To reduce this burden, it is necessary to be able to separate the signal of the warhead from the received dynamic radar cross section (RCS) signal on the radar. In this paper, we propose the method of separating the dynamic RCS of each target from the received signal by the Hough transform which extracts straight lines from the image. The micro motion of the targets was implemented using a 3D CAD model of the warhead and decoys. Then, we calculated the dynamic RCS from the 3D CAD model having micromotion and verified the performance by applying the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed method can separate the signals of the warhead and decoys at the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 10dB.

본 논문에서는 터널환경에서 전파의 경로 손실 특성을 예측할 수 있도록 시뮬레이터를 개발하였다. 전파의 경로를 정확히 분석하기 위하여 image theory 방법을 이용하였으며, 직선 터널 구간뿐만 아니라 곡선 터널 구간에서도 전파 손실을 예측할 수 있도록 구현하였다. 시뮬레이터는 다양한 변수들을 입력받아 실시간으로 전파 경로를 도식화하여 결과를 보여줄 수 있으며, 송신부와 수신부의 위치를 변경하며 결과를 예측할 수도 있다. 개발된 시뮬레이터를 다양한 직석터널과 곡선터널에 적용하여 결과를 비교 분석하였다.
