  • Wind tunnel test of an airplane model with forward swept wing was done in KARI LSWT to evaluate and measure the aerodynamic characteristics of initially designed configuration. Since the given wing planform did not fully satisfy the design requirements, local flow control devices such as vortilon, vortex generator and flow fence were used to delay separation and to enhance aerodynamic characteristics. Also decision making processes of design parameters such as vertical tail boom length, the location, size and the incidence angle of horizontal tail were discussed. The general aerodynamic characteristics of forward swept wing for various control surface deflection conditions of flap, aileron and elevator were also given.

  • The early phase of design intrinsically contains multiple sources of uncertainty in describing design, and nevertheless the decision-making process at this phase exerts a critical effect upon drawing a successful design. This paper proposes a set-based design approach for multi-objective design problem under uncertainty. The proposed design approach consists of four design processes including set representation, set propagation, set modification, and set narrowing. This approach enables the flexible and robust design while incorporating designer's preference structure. In contrast to existing optimization techniques, this approach generates a ranged set of design solutions that satisfy changing sets of performance requirements.

  • Maintenance plays a critical role in the bridge industry, but actual practices show many limitations because of traditional, 2D-based information systems. It is necessary to develop a new generation of maintenance information management systems for more reliable decision making in bridge maintenance. Enhancing current work processes requires a BIM-based 3D digital model that can use information from the whole lifecycle of a project (design, construction, operation, and maintenance) through continuous exchanges and updates from each stakeholder. This study describes the development of a data scheme for maintenance of cable-stayed bridges. We implemented the proposed system for a cable-stayed bridge and discussed its effectiveness.

  • It has been criticized that conventional human reliability analysis (HRA) methodologies for probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) have been focused on the quantification of human error probability (HEP) without detailed analysis of human cognitive processes such as situation assessment or decision-making which are crticial to successful response to emergency situations. This paper introduces a new human reliability analysis (HRA) methodology, AGAPE-ET (A guidance And Procedure for Human Error Analysis for Emergency Tasks), focused on the qualitative error analysis of emergency tasks from the viewpoint of the performance of human cognitive function. The AGAPE-ET method is based on the simplified cognitive model and a taxonomy of influencing factors. By each cognitive function, error causes or error-likely situations have been identified considering the characteristics of the performance of each cognitive function and influencing mechanism of PIFs on the cognitive function. Then, overall human error analysis process is designed considering the cognitive demand of the required task. The application to an emergency task shows that the proposed method is useful to identify task vulnerabilities associated with the performance of emergency tasks.

  • This thesis reports the development of a Computer-Aided Process Planning system for rotational parts. The developed system ultimately generates process plans for rotational parts through a knowledge-base. The knowledge-base and decision-making algorithms are represented by Pascal computer programming language. We have developed a process planning system which adjusts the sequence of processes by itself to ensure the quality of the parts. This system generates more detailed job sequence and descriptions than other well-known process planning systems. We present realistic and efficient process plans through the integration of process planning and scheduling. This system optimizes flow time of parts by decreasing the number of machine set-ups.

  • Life-Cycle Engineering(LCE) is a decision-making methodology that considers environmental and cost needs during the product life-cycle. Environmental conscious design and manufacturing has become more and more important and it has been enforced by governmental regulations and used as trade restriction. LCE involves integrating environmental consideration into new product development including design, material selection, manufacturing processes and distribution of the product to the consumers, plus the end-of-life management such as disassembly, material recovery, remanufacturing of the product after discarding it. In this paper, a state-of-the-art survey of LCE is presented.

  • The purpose of constructing university information system is for improvement in diversification and throughput of information, streamlines business processes, rapid exchange of information, sharing of information, decision-making information, and securing educational facilities. Similar to business information technology system, university information system does not have a review system for sharing and overlapping investment of information. Due to the lack of project management for outsourcing and vulnerability of system suitability, system audit is absolutely needed for the university information system. This paper especially focuses on an operational phase in the audit of university information system. Additionally, we proposed operating model and checklists of the university information system based on Management Guidelines of ITIL V3 Operational and Information System. We derived the checklists of operation audit by each domain of service strategy, service design, service transition, service operation, and continual service improvement. As the result, this study appear to have more than average satisfaction the suitability results were.

  • Appropriate strategies are needed to ensure long-term preservation of various types of electronic records. For proper preservation of electronic records, it is necessary of decision-making processes for risk assessment, notification and implementation of conservation measures. To do this, the task of assessing various risk factors that impede the long-term preservation and utilization of electronic records should be done first. In this study, since electronic records are mostly stored in file form, risk assessment for electronic records of file type is performed. The risk factors required for the risk assessment of the file format are derived, and the algorithms are developed to devise a calculation method of the weighting factor and the risk factor index for evaluating the risk based on the proposed risk factors. In addition, the proposed methods are applied to the file formats used in Korea and risk assessment is performed and the results are analyzed.

  • Streamflow prediction is a critical task in water resources management and essential for planning and decision-making purposes. However, the streamflow prediction is challenging due to the complexity and non-linear nature of hydrological processes. The transfer learning is a powerful technique that enables a model to transfer knowledge from a source domain to a target domain, improving model performance with limited data in the target domain. In this study, we apply the transfer learning using the Informer model, which is a state-of-the-art deep learning model for streamflow prediction. The model was trained on a large-scale hydrological dataset in the source basin and then fine-tuned using a smaller dataset available in the target basin to predict the streamflow in the target basin. The results demonstrate that transfer learning using the Informer model significantly outperforms the traditional machine learning models and even other deep learning models for streamflow prediction, especially when the target domain has limited data. Moreover, the results indicate the effectiveness of streamflow prediction when knowledge transfer is used to improve the generalizability of hydrologic models in data-sparse regions.

  • Steel frame factories were surveyed in this study in order to explore the possibility of shortening the construction time and save on construction cost through overlapping at the stages of design or construction. In the survey, construction professionals were interviewed in order to collect quantitative data. Hypotheses were then formulated, and the data was thereby analyzed using the simulation technique in order to analyze the effects of the concurrent engineering method on shorter construction time and cost saving. In addition, actual cases were analyzed to determine the overlapping rates of major processes in terms of shorter construction time and cost saving and to analyze the relationship between time and cost due to overlapping.
