This paper presents multi-fidelity modeling and simulation (M&S) methodology to enhance simulation performance of engineering-level defense models. In this approach, a set of models with varying degrees of fidelity is exercised to reduce computational expense maintaining a similar level of system effectiveness. For multi-fidelity M&S principles, this paper defines model fidelity from two perspectives (i.e., model behavior and execution), and suggests the Fidelity Change Point (FCP) to specify the fidelity conversion. With these concepts, this paper centers on three ideas: 1) two models' structure which are the Behavioral-Fidelity Interchangeable Model (B-FIM) and the Executional-Fidelity Interchangeable Model (E-FIM), 2) modeling formalism, and 3) a simulation algorithm to support them. From an abstract case study regarding a target tracking scenario with the utilization of the proposed method, we can gain interesting experimental results regarding the enhancement of simulation performance. Finally, we expect that this work will serve various M&S-based analysis areas for enhancing simulation performance.

Optimal design of the hybrid motor has been performed for the first stage of nanosat air launch vehicle using F-4E Phantom as mother plane. Selected design variables are number of ports, the initial oxidizer flux, the combustion chamber pressure, and the nozzle expansion ratio. GBM(Gradient Based Method) and GA(Genetic Algorithm) are simultaneously used to compare the versatility of each algorithm for optimal design in this problem. Also, two objective functions of motor weight, and length are treated separatedly in the optimization to study how the objective function can affect the optimal design. The design results show that the optimal design can be successfully achieved either using GBM or GA regardless of the choice of the objective function; motor weight or length. And nanosat air launch vehicle which has total mass of 704.74kg, and length of first stage 3.74m is designed.

본 논문은 기존의 XIP 기법에서 발생할 수 있는 메모리 접근 성능저하를 해결하기 위한 동적 XIP 기법을 제안하였다. 동적 XIP 기법은 상대적으로 성능저하가 적을 것으로 예상되는 코드 페이지들을 동적으로 선택하여 XIP 영역으로 설정하고, 성능저하가 크게 나타날 것으로 예상되는 코드 페이지들을 램 캐시에 캐싱하여 성능을 향상시킨다. 본 논문은 램 캐시를 관리하기 위해 MIN 캐시 알고리즘 및 메모리 접근 비용을 고려한 오프라인 캐시 알고리즘과, 페이지 접근에 대한 최신성(Recency) 및 슬라이딩 윈도우에 저장된 페이지 접근 기록에 기반하여 메모리 접근 비용을 예측하는 온라인 캐시 알고리즘, 온라인 캐시 알고리즘의 램 캐싱 판단의 정확성을 높이는 기법을 제안하였다. 본 논문은 온·오프라인 알고리즘의 성능비교를 위해 시뮬레이터를 통해 성능을 평가하였고, 유용성을 시험하기 위해 온라인 알고리즘을 리눅스를 기반으로 구현하여 성능을 평가하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 동적 XIP는 실제 구현한 환경에서 실험한 결과, 작은 크기의 캐시를 사용하고도 수행시간에서는 최대 27%, 에너지 소모량에서는 최대 24%의 성능이 향상됨을 보였다.

Recently, location-based services which provides k nearest POIs, e.g., gas stations, restaurants and banks, are essential such applications as telematics, ITS(Intelligent Transport Systems) and kiosk. For this, the Voronoi Diagram k-NN(Nearest Neighbor) search algorithm has been proposed. It retrieves k-NNs by using a file storing pre-computed network distances of POIs in Voronoi diagram. However, this algorithm causes the cost problem when expanding a Voronoi diagram. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an algorithm which generates a matrix of the shortest distance between border points of a Voronoi diagram. The shortest distance is measured each border point to all of the rest border points of a Voronoi Diagram. To retrieve desired k nearest POIs, we also propose a k-NN search algorithm using the matrix of the shortest distance. The proposed algorithms can m inim ize the cost of expanding the Voronoi diagram by accessing the pre-computed matrix of the shortest distances between border points. In addition, we show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in terms of retrieval time, compared with existing works.

This work proposes a novel contactless vibration damping and thermal isolation tripod platform based on Superconducting Magnetic Levitation (SML). This prototype is suitable for cryogenic environments, where classical passive, semi active and active vibration isolation techniques may present tribological problems due to the low temperatures and/or cannot guarantee an enough thermal isolation. The levitating platform consists of a Superconducting Magnetic Levitation (SML) with inherent passive static stabilization. In addition, the use of Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) technique is proposed to characterize the transmissibility function from the baseplate to the platform. The OMA is based on the Stochastic Subspace Identification (SSI) by using the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm. This paper contributes to the use of SSI-EM for SML applications by proposing a step-by-step experimental methodology to process the measured data, which are obtained with different unknown excitations: ambient excitation and impulse excitation. Thus, the performance of SSI-EM for SML applications can be improved, providing a good estimation of the natural frequency and damping ratio without any controlled excitation, which is the main obstacle to use an experimental modal analysis in cryogenic environments. The dynamic response of the 510 g levitating platform has been characterized by means of OMA in a cryogenic, 77 K, and high vacuum, 1E-5 mbar, environment. The measured vertical and radial stiffness are 9872.4 N/m and 21329 N/m, respectively, whilst the measured vertical and radial damping values are 0.5278 Nm/s and 0.8938 Nm/s. The first natural frequency in vertical direction has been identified to be 27.39 Hz, whilst a value of 40.26 Hz was identified for the radial direction. The determined damping values for both modes are 0.46% and 0.53%, respectively.

Rocks undergoing repeated loading and unloading over an extended period, such as due to earthquakes, human excavation, and blasting, may result in the gradual accumulation of stress and deformation within the rock mass, eventually reaching an unstable state. In this study, a CNN-CCM is proposed to address the mechanical behavior. The structure and hyperparameters of CNN-CCM include Conv2D layers × 5; Max pooling2D layers × 4; Dense layers × 4; learning rate=0.001; Epoch=50; Batch size=64; Dropout=0.5. Training and validation data for deep learning include 71 rock samples and 122,152 data points. The AI Rock Constitutive Model learned by CNN-CCM can predict strain values(ε₁) using Mass (M), Axial stress (σ₁), Density (ρ), Cyclic number (N), Confining pressure (σ₃), and Young's modulus (E). Five evaluation indicators R², MAPE, RMSE, MSE, and MAE yield respective values of 0.929, 16.44%, 0.954, 0.913, and 0.542, illustrating good predictive performance and generalization ability of model. Finally, interpreting the AI Rock Constitutive Model using the SHAP explaining method reveals that feature importance follows the order N > M > σ₁ > E > ρ > σ₃.Positive SHAP values indicate positive effects on predicting strain ε₁ for N, M, σ₁, and σ₃, while negative SHAP values have negative effects. For E, a positive value has a negative effect on predicting strain ε₁, consistent with the influence patterns of conventional physical rock constitutive equations. The present study offers a novel approach to the investigation of the mechanical constitutive model of rocks under cyclic loading and unloading conditions.

Black hole (BH) mass is a fundamental quantity to understand BH growth, galaxy evolution, and connection between them. Thus, obtaining accurate and precise BH mass estimates over cosmic time is of paramount importance. The rest-frame UV CIV ${\lambda}1549$ broad emission line is commonly used for BH mass estimates in high-redshift AGNs (i.e., $2{\leq}z{\leq}5$) when single-epoch (SE) optical spectra are available. Achieving correct and accurate calibration for CIV-based SE BH mass estimators against the most reliable reverberation-mapping based BH mass estimates is thus practically important and still useful. By performing multi-component spectral decomposition analysis to obtained high-quality HST UV spectra for the updated sample of local reverberation-mapped AGNs including new HST STIS observations, CIV emission line widths and continuum luminosities are consistently measured. Using a Bayesian hierarchical model with MCMC sampling based on Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithm (Stan NUTS), we provide the most consistent and accurate calibration of CIV-based BH mass estimators for the three line width characterizations, i.e., full width at half maximum (FWHM), line dispersion (${\sigma}_{line}$), and mean absolute deviation (MAD), in the extended BH mass dynamic range of log $M_{BH}/M_{\odot}=6.5-9.1$.

The heat transfer analysis applying finite element method has been carried out. Particularly, the convection boundary condition associated with the mixed boundary condition is numerically formulated by the Galerkin method analogous to the magnetic field problem. Also, the coupled electromagnet-thermal field analysis by the proposed heat transfer coefficient computation algorithm is executed to enhance the accuracy of solutions. Finally, the validity of the proposed results is verified by comparison with the measured ones.
