추계론적 해석은 구조계 내의 해석인수에 존재하는 공간적 또는 시간적 임의성이 구조계 반응에 미치는 영향에 대한 고찰을 목적으로 한다. 확률장은 구족계 내에서 특정한 확률분포를 가지는 것으로 가정된다. 구조계 반응에 대한 이들 확률장의 영향 평가를 위하여 통계학적 추계론적 해석과 비통계학적 추계론적 해석이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비통계학적 추계론적 해석방법 중의 하나인 가중적분법을 제안하였다. 특히 구조계의 공간적 임의성이 큰 특성을 가지고 있는 반무한영역에 대한 적용 예를 제시하고자 한다. 반무한영역의 모델링에는 무한요소를 사용하였다. 제안된 방법에 의한 해석 결과는 통계학적 방법인 몬테카를로 방법에 의한 결과와 비교되었다. 제안된 가중적분법은 자기상관함수를 사용하여 확률장을 고려하므로 무한영역의 고려에 따른 해석의 모호성을 제거할 수 있다. 제안방법과 몬테카를로 방법에 의한 결과는 상호 잘 일치하였으며 공분산 및 표준편차는 무한요소의 적용에 의하여 매우 개선된 결과를 나타내었다.

A new type of extended element-free Galerkin method (XFEM) is proposed on this paper. The blending region which was inevitable in the extended finite element method and the extended meshfree method is removed in this method. For this end, two different techniques are developed. The first one is the modification of the domain of influence so that the crack tip is always placed on the edge of a domain of influence. The second method is the use of the Lagrange multiplier. The crack is virtually extended beyond the actual crack tip. The virtual extension was forced close by the Lagrange multiplier. The first method can be applied to two dimensional problems only Lagrange multiplier method can be used in both two and three dimensions.

We report the computational structural simulation of the Cry1Ab19 toxin molecule from B. thuringiensis BtX-2 based on the structure of Cry1Aa1 deduced by x-ray diffraction. Validation results showed that 93.5% of modeled residues are folded in a favorable orientation with a total energy Z-score of -8.32, and the constructed model has an RMSD of only $1.13{\AA}$. The major differences in the presented model are longer loop lengths and shortened sheet components. The overall result supports the hierarchical three-domain structural hypothesis of Cry toxins and will help in better understanding the structural variation within the Cry toxin family along with facilitating the design of domain-swapping experiments aimed at improving the toxicity of native toxins.

We present recent human-vehicle interaction (HVI) research conducted in the area of defense and military application. Research topics discussed in this paper include: training simulation for overland navigation tasks; expertise effects in overland navigation performance and scan patterns; pilot's perception and confidence on an overland navigation task; effects of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) supervisory control on F-18 formation flight performance in a simulator environment; autonomy balancing in a manned-unmanned teaming (MUT) swarm attack, enabling visual detection of IED (Improvised Explosive Device) indicators through Perceptual Learning Assessment and Training; usability test on DaViTo (Data Visualization Tool); and modeling peripheral vision for moving target search and detection. Diverse and leading HVI study in the defense domain suggests future research direction in other HVI emerging areas such as automotive industry and aviation domain.

The conventional fractal image compression methods have high computational complexity at encoding reduce PSNR at low bit rate and havehighly visible blocking effects in a reconstructed image. In this paper we propose a fractal image compression method based on disctete wavelet transform domain, which takes the absolute value of discrete wavelet transform coefficient, and assembles the discrete wavelet tranform coefficients of different highpass subbands corresponding to the same spatial block and then applies "0" encoding according to the energy of each range blocks. The proposed method improved PSNR at low bit rate and reduced computational complexity at encoding distinctly. Also, this method can achieve a blockless reconstructed image and perform hierarchical decoding without recursive constractive transformation. Computer simulations with several test images show that the proposed method shows better performance than convnetional fractal coding methods for encoding still pictures. pictures.

The radar method is becoming one of the major nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques for concrete structures. Numerical modeling of electromagnetic wave is needed to analyze radar measurement results and to study the influence of measurement parameters on the radar measurements. Finite difference-time domain (FD-TD) method is used to simulate electromagnetic wave propagation through concrete specimens. Three concrete specimens with a 19.1 mm rebar embedded at 40 mm, 60 mm, and 80 mm depth are modeled in 3-dimension. As results, 2-D image processing scheme of modeling data has been developed and applied to the imaging of steel bars inside concrete.

Methods for identification of modal properties of linear structures are presented. The extended Kalman filtering technique is employed. The state equation is formulated by two different ways, namely by the time domain and frequency domain approaches. Verifications are carried out by using the simulated records of ground acceleration and structural response. Then the techniques are applied to the estimation of modal parameters of a scaled model for a 3-story building which is installed on a shaking table.

A continuum-based design sensitivity analysis (DSA) method fur non-shape problems is developed for geometrically nonlinear elastic structures. The non-shape problem is characterized by the design variables that are not associated with the domain of system like sizing, material property, loading, and so on. Total Lagrangian formulation with the Green-Lagrange strain and the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress is employed to describe the geometrically nonlinear structures. The spatial domain is discretized using the 4-node isoparametric plane stress/strain elements. The resulting nonlinear system is solved using the Newton-Raphson iterative method. To take advantage of the derived analytical sensitivity In topology optimization, a fast and efficient design sensitivity analysis method, adjoint variable method, is employed and the material property of each element is selected as non-shape design variable. Combining the design sensitivity analysis method and a gradient-based design optimization algorithm, an automated design optimization method is developed. The comparison of the analytical sensitivity with the finite difference results shows excellent agreement. Also application to the topology design optimization problem suggests a very good insight for the layout design.

The paper presents an effective analytical method for SSI systems which can have separation or sliding at the soil-structure interface. The method is based on a hybrid approach which combines a linear SSI code KIESSI-2D in frequency domain with a commercial finite element package ANSYS to obtain nonlinear dynamic responses in time domain. The method is applied to a 2-D underground box structure which experiences separation and sliding at the soil-structure interface. Material nonlinearity of the concrete structure is also included in the analysis. Effects of the interface conditions are examined and some critical factors affecting the seismic performance of underground structures are identified.

The two-state or mutual M-integral which is derived from tile M-integral and is applicable for two elastic states, is applied for computing all intensity of a singular near-tip field around the vertex of a class of wedge, encountered in adhesive lap joints under mechanical loading. Numerically we verify that a simple auxiliary field associated with every eigenfunction for the composite wedge under consideration exists in the form of the conjugate solution in the sense of tile M-integral. The auxiliary field is then employed for superposition with the elastic field under consideration, and the associated two-state M-integral is computed via the domain integral technique. This enables us to extract the intensity for a singular field information for a singular elastic boundary layer is extracted form the domain integral representation without resort to singular finite element for the wedge vertex.
