The hygro-thermo-mechanical bending behavior of sigmoid functionally graded material (S-FGM) plate resting on variable two-parameter elastic foundations is discussed using a four-variable refined plate theory. The material characteristics are distributed within the thickness direction according to the two power law variation in terms of volume fractions of the constituents of the material. By employing a four variable refined plate model, both a trigonometric distribution of the transverse shear strains within the thickness and the zero traction boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate are respected without utilizing shear correction factors. The number of independent variables of the current formulation is four, as against five in other shear deformation models. The governing equations are deduced based on the four-variable refined plate theory incorporating the external load and hygro-thermal influences. The results of this work are compared with those of other shear deformation models. Various numerical examples introducing the influence of power-law index, plate aspect ratio, temperature difference, elastic foundation parameters, and side-to-thickness ratio on the static behavior of S-FGM plates are investigated.

The analysis and design of skeletal structures is greatly influenced by the behaviour of beam-to-column connections, where patented designs have led to a wide range of types with differing structural quantities. The behaviour of beam-to-column connections plays an important role in the analysis and design of framed structures. This paper presents an overview of the influence of connection behaviour on structural stability, in the in-plane (bending) mode of sway. A computer-based method is presented for geometrically nonlinear plane frames with semi-rigid connections accounting for shear deformations. The analytical procedure employs transcendental modified stability functions to model the effect of axial force on the stiffness of members. The member stiffness matrix were found. The critical load has been searched as a suitable load parameter for the loss of stability of the system. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the validity of the analysis procedure. The method is readily implemented on a computer using matrix structural analysis techniques and is applicable for the efficient nonlinear analysis of frameworks. Combined with a parametric column effective length study, connection and frame stiffness are used to propose a method for the analysis of semi-rigid frames where column effective lengths are greatly reduced and second order (deflection induced) bending moments in the column may be distributed via the connectors to the beams, leading to significant economies.

The measurement of unsteady flow rate is of vital importance to clarify and improve the dynamic characteristics in pipeline, hydraulic components and system. There is also demand for a real time flow sensor of ability to measure unsteady flow rate with high accuracy and fast response to realize feedback control of flow rate in fluid power systems. In this paper, we propose an approach for estimating unsteady flow rate through a pipeline and components under high pressure condition. In the method, unsteady flow rate is estimated by using hydraulic pipeline dynamics and the measured pressure values at two distant points along the pipeline. The distributed parameter model of hydraulic pipeline is applied with consideration of frequency dependent viscosity friction and unsteady velocity distribution at a cross section of a pipeline. By using the self-checking functions of the method, the validity is investigated by comparison with the measured and estimated pressure waveforms at the halfway section on the pipeline. The results show good agreement between the estimated flow rate waveforms and theroetical those under unsteady laminar flow conditions. the method proposed here is useful in estimating unsteady flow rate through an arbitray cross section in hydraulic pipeline and components without installing an instantaneous flowmeter.

정교한 강우-유출 모의를 위해서는 적절한 매개변수의 추정이 필수적이며, 매개변수 추정 방법은 시행착오(trial and error)에 의한 수동보정법과 최적화방법을 사용한 자동보정법으로 구분할 수 있다. 모형의 매개변수의 수가 많은 경우 수동보정법에 의한 매개변수 추정은 매우 어렵다. 자동 보정법에 사용되는 최적화방법은 Rosenbrock 알고리즘, patten search, 컴플렉스(complex) 방법, Powell 방법 등과 같은 지역최적화 방법과 전역최적화 방법으로 나눌 수 있다. 그러나 기존 방법론들은 매개변수의 최적화를 추적하기 위한 알고리즘이 대부분이며 이들 매개변수에 관련된 불확실성을 평가하는데는 미흡한 단접이 있다. 이러한 점에서 본 연구에서는 강우-유출모형의 매개변수 추정에 있어서 불확실성을 평가할 수 있는 새로운 방법론을 검토하고자 한다. 매개변수와 관련된 불확실성을 평가하기 위한 방법은 여러 가지가 있으나 통계적으로 매우 우수한 능력을 보이는 Hierarchical Bayesian 알고리즘을 Probability-Distributed 강우-유출 모형에 적용하였다. 본 방법론은 최적화와 동시에 각 매개변수에 관련된 사후분포(posterior distribution)의 추정이 가능하므로 모형이 갖는 불확실성을 효과적으로 평가할 수 있다. 따라서, 수자원 관리에 있어서 불확실성을 고려할 수 있으므로 보다 수리수문학적 위험도를 저감할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The methods to determine the hydrodynamic coefficients for the fixed type artificial reefs which were constructed to control ecological system in coastal waters are compared and discussed by model test results. To calculate the wave forces, least square method show good agreement with the experimental results and more stability than maximum force component method or Fourier decomposition method. This modified least square method of weighting the square of measured force turned out to be the most feasible method for maximum force. Using the feasible method, hydrodynamic characteristics for artificial reefs on uniform slopes offshore and breaking zone were studied. They were properly related to Keulegan-Carpenter's number and found larger than previous results. Wave force coefficients for artificial reefs around breaking zone were distributed from 1.5 to 2.5, and the mean value was 2.0. Drag force components were more in evidence than inertia force in maximum force which is important parameter to evaluate stability for high-permeability structures. A formula for the calculation of the maximum force for artificial reefs design is proposed, using structural dimension, water particle velocity and Keulegan-Carpenter's number.

Results of an experimental investigation on the behavior and ultimate shear capacity of 27 reinforced concrete Transfer (deep) beams are summarized. The main variables were percent longitudinal(tension) steel (0.28 to 0.60%), percent horizontal web steel (0.60 to 2.40%), percent vertical steel (0.50to 2.25%), percent orthogonal web steel, shear span-to-depth ratio (1.10 to 3.20) and cube concrete compressive strength (32 MPa to 48 MPa).The span of the beam has been kept constant at 1000 mm with100 mm overhang on either side of the supports. The result of this study shows that the load transfer capacity of transfer (deep) beam with distributed longitudinal reinforcement is increased significantly. Also, the vertical shear reinforcement is more effective than the horizontal reinforcement in increasing the shear capacity as well as to transform the brittle mode of failure in to the ductile mode of failure. It has been observed that the orthogonal web reinforcement is highly influencing parameter to generate the shear capacity of transfer beams as well as its failure modes. Moreover, the results from the experiments have been processed suitably and presented an analytical model for design of transfer beams in high-rise buildings for estimating the shear capacity of beams.

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is one of the derivatives of graphene, which has drawn some experimental research interests in recent years however, numerical research studying the mechanical behaviors of composites made of rGO has not been taken into consideration yet. The objective of this research is to investigate the buckling, and free vibration of functionally graded reduced graphene oxide reinforced nanocomposite (FG rGORC) plates employing isogeometric analysis (IGA). The effective Young's modulus of rGORC is determined based onthe Halpin-Tsai model. Four different FG distribution types of rGO are considered varying across plate thickness. Besides, the refined plate theory is used based on Reddy's third-order function. To capture the size effect, modified couple stress theory (MCST) is employed. A comprehensive study is provided examining the effect of various parameters including rGO weight fraction, FG distribution types, boundary conditions, material length scale parameter, etc. Our obtained results show that the addition of only 1% of uniformly distributed rGO into epoxy plates leads to the fundamental frequency and critical buckling load 18% and 39% higher than those of pure epoxy plates, respectively.

In this paper, the nonlinear vibration behavior of the spiral stiffened multilayer functionally graded (SSMFG) cylindrical shells exposed to the thermal environment and a uniformly distributed harmonic loading using a semi-analytical method is investigated. The cylindrical shell is surrounded by a nonlinear viscoelastic foundation consisting of a two-parameter Winkler-Pasternak foundation augmented by a Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic model with a nonlinear cubic stiffness. The distribution of temperature and material constitutive of the stiffeners are continuously changed through the thickness direction. The cylindrical shell has three layers consisting of metal, FGM, and ceramic. The interior layer of the cylindrical shell is rich in metal, while the exterior layer is rich in ceramic, and the FG material is located between two layers. The nonlinear vibration problem utilizing the smeared stiffeners technique, the von Kármán equations, and the Galerkin method has been solved. The multiple scales method is utilized to examine the nonlinear vibration behavior of SSMFG cylindrical shells. The considered resonant case is 1:3:9 internal resonance and subharmonic resonance of order 1/3. The influences of different material and geometrical parameters on the vibration behavior of SSMFG cylindrical shells are examined. The results show that the angles of stiffeners, temperature, and elastic foundation parameters have a strong effect on the vibration behaviors of the SSMFG cylindrical shells.

홍수 예·경보 시에는 시간-단위 또는 그 이하의 시간 척도에서 작용하는 강우에 대한 고도의 영향이 중요하게 되며, 특히 상대적으로 더 드문 관측 밀도가 있는 산악지역에서 강우의 공간분포에 대한 산악 효과의 중요도가 더 높아지게 된다. 일반적으로 1시간 시간스케일에서 강우-고도의 관계를 살펴보기 위해서는 대략 5km 내외의 관측 밀도를 가져야 하는 것으로 알려져 있으나 이러한 지역은 매우 드물다. 최근 기상 예측 수치모델로부터 모의된 강우량의 품질이 눈에 띄게 향상됨에 따라 국내에도 다양한 연구가 수행된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 WRF를 이용하여 남강댐 지역의 과거 호우 사상을 재현한 후, 이로부터 생산된 공간적인 강우장을 이용하여 시간-단위의 시간 척도에서 강우량과 고도 사이의 관계를 고려할 수 있는 WREPN(WRF Rainfall-Elevation Parameterized Nowcasting) 모형을 제안한다. 홍수량 분석을 위해 WREPN 모형을 이용하였으며, 비교군으로 실무적으로 많이 사용되는 IDW, Kriging 기반 격자강우가 사용되었다. 격자기반 분포형 강우자료로부터 홍수량을 분석하기 위해 Mod-Clark 모형이 적용되었으며, 입력된 강우자료별매개변수의 불확실성을 분석하기 위해 베이지안 기법이 적용되었다. 매개변수의 불확실성 분석으로부터 강우-고도 관계가 고려된 WREPN 모형의 강우자료가 상대적으로 불확실성이 낮다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

모바일 영상 서비스와 센서 네트워크와 같은 저전력, 저복잡도의 비디오 부호기를 필요로 하는 분야의 수요가 증대됨에 따라 프레임간의 상관성을 이용하지 않고 압축함으로써 낮은 복잡도로도 높은 압축률을 얻을 수 있는 분산 비디오 코딩에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 분산 비디오 코딩에서 부호기는 오류정정 부호기를 이용하여 원래 영상보다 압축된 형태의 신드롬을 생성한다. 반면, 복호기에서는 원본 영상을 추정하고 부호기에서 만들어진 신드롬을 이용하여 추정한 원본 영상의 오류를 정정한다. 이 때, 추정된 원본 영상을 보조 정보라 하며, 보조 정보는 원본 영상이 가상의 상관 채널을 통해 얻어진 영상이라 해석할 수 있다. 분산 비디오 코딩의 성능 향상을 위해서는 오류 정정 복호기와 최적 복원과정의 성능향상이 필요하며, 두 과정 모두 가상의 상관 채널의 정확도에 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 오류 정정 복호기와 복원과정에서 최적의 입력값을 예측하기 위하여, 상관 채널의 구성 파라미터의 정확한 추정을 위한 효과적인 알고리즘들을 제안한다. 일반적으로 상관 채널은 라플라시안 분포로 모델링 되는데, 이 분포와 실제 채널 측정값과의 자승오류를 최소화 하는 알고리즘인 최소자승법 및 복잡도를 낮춘 변형된 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한, 신뢰구간 설정으로 기존의 채널 파라미터 추정 알고리즘을 사용할 때 오류를 줄이는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘으로 Mother 영상과 Foreman 영상에서 각각 최대 PSNR이득 1.8 dB와 1.1 dB를 얻었으며, 특히 상관도가 낮은 영역에서 더 효과적인 성능 개선을 보인다.
