A method for estimating the floor response spectra (FRS) of elastic structures under earthquake excitations is proposed. The method is established based on a previously proposed direct estimation method for single degree of freedom systems, which generally overestimates the FRS of a structure, particularly in the resonance period range. A modification factor is introduced to modify the original method; the modification factor is expressed as a function of the period ratio and is determined through regression analysis on time history analysis results. Both real and artificial ground motions are considered in the analysis, and it is found that the modification factors obtained from the real and artificial ground motions are significantly different. This suggests that the effect of ground motion should be considered in the estimation of FRS. The modified FRS estimation method is further applied to a 10-story building structure, and it is verified that the proposed method can lead to a good estimation of FRS of multi-story buildings.

본 논문에서는 MRC(Maximal Ratio Combing) 결합 기법을 사용한 RAKE 수신기에서 채널 추정 알고리즘에 따른 성능을 분석한다. 채널 추정 알고리즘에는 WMSA(Weighted Multi-Slot Averaging), 동일 이득 채널 추정 (Equal Cain Estimation ; ECE), 심볼 단위 채널 추정(Symbol-to-Symbol Estimation ; SSE)의 세 가지가 있는데 상업용 시뮬레이션 틀인 HP사의 ADS를 이용하여 비동기 방식 IMT-2000시스템(3GPP)을 대상으로 성능을 분석한다. 성능 분석을 위해서 본 논문은 Jakes 페이딩 채널 모델을 사용한다. 모의실험 결과를 통하여, 저속 도플러(3Km/h)일 때 WMSA 알고리즘이 다른 알고리즘 성능보다 더 좋음을 알 수 있다. 그러나 고속 도플러(120Km/h)일 때, 간단한 구조를 갖는 ECE 알고리즘이 보다 더 유용함을 알 수 있다.

The weight estimation of floating offshore structures such as FPSO, TLP, semi-Submersibles, Floating Offshore Wind Turbines etc. in the preliminary design, is one of important measures of both construction cost and basic performance. Through both literature investigation and internet search, the weight data of floating offshore structures such as FPSO and TLP was collected. In this study, the weight estimation model was suggested for FPSO. The weight estimation model using non-linear regression analysis was established by fixing independent variables based on this data and the multiple regression analysis was introduced into the weight estimation model. Its reliability was within 4% of error rate.

Motion estimation is one of the key components for high quality video coding. In this paper, a new motion estimation scheme for MPEG-like video coder is suggested. The proposed temporally adaptive motion estimation scheme consists of five functional blocks: Temporal subband analysis (TSBA), extraction of temporal information, scene change detection (SCD), picture type replacement (PTR), and temporally adapted block matching algorithm (TABMA). Here all the functional components are based on the temporal subband analysis. In this papre, we applied the analysis part of subband decompostion to the temporal axis of moving picture sequence, newly defined the temporal activity distribution (TAD) and average TAD, and proposed the temporally adapted block matching algorithm, the scene change detection algorithm and picture type replacement algorithm which employed the results of the temporal subband analysis. A new block matching algorithm TABMA is capable of controlling the block matching area. According to the temporal activity distribution of objects, it allocates the search areas nonuniformly. The proposed SCD and PTR can prevent unavailable motion prediction for abrupt scene changes. Computer simulation results show that the proposed motion estimation scheme improve the quality of reconstructed sequence and reduces the number of block matching trials to 40% of the numbers of trials in conventional methods. The TSBA based scene change detection algorithm can detect the abruptly changed scenes in the intentionally combined sequence of this experiment without additional computations.

Estimation of the edge of a distribution has many important applications. It is related to classification, cluster analysis, neural network, and statistical image recovering. The problem also arises in measuring production efficiency in economic systems. Three most promising nonparametric estimators in the existing literature are introduced. Their statistical properties are provided, some of which are new. Themes of future study are also discussed.

A predictive model of wind speed in the wind farm has very important meanings. This paper presents an estimation model of wind speed based on time series analysis using the observed wind data at Hangyeong Wind Farm in Jeju island, and verification of the predictive model. In case of Hangyeong Wind Farm and Haengwon Wind Farm, The ARIMA(Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) predictive model was appropriate, and the wind speed estimation model was developed by means of parametric estimation using Maximum likelihood Estimation.

Aspects of classical information theory, such as rate distortion theory, investigate how to encode and decode information from an independently identically distributed source so that the asymptotic distortion rate between the source and its quantized representation is minimized. However, in most natural dynamics, the source state is highly corrupted by disturbances, and the measurement contains the noise. In recent coder-estimator sequence is developed for state estimation problem based on observations transmitted with finite communication capacity constraints. Unlike classical estimation problems where the observation is a continuous process corrupted by additive noises, the condition is that the observations must be coded and transmitted over a digital communication channel with finite capacity. However, coder-estimator sequence does not provide such a quantitative analysis as a variance for estimation error. In this paper, under the assumption that the estimation error is Gaussian distribution, a variance for coder-estimation sequence is proposed and its fitness is evaluated through simulations with a simple example.

Estimation efficiencies according to different sea trial are investigated in connection with sensitivity analysis, and new trial method is proposed which can improve the estimation efficiency of hydrodynamic derivatives. MMG Equation with Kijima's formula is used for simulation. Extended Kalman Filter is chosen for estimation technique and hydrodynamic derivatives of interest is limited to 12 of those in sway and yaw equations. Esso Osaka is selected for the test ship. Sensitivity analysis and estimation results based on conventional trials show that a more sensitive derivative gives more efficient estimation result. Sensitivities of nonlinear derivatives become pronounced in the trial where steady condition lasts longer such as turning test, while sensitivities of linear derivatives gas a larger values in the trial where unsteady condition lasts longer such as 10deg-10deg zigzag test. Consequently, in new method , named S-type trial, steady and unsteady condition are combined appropriately to increase sensitivities. Linear derivatives are estimated better in S-type trial and the estimation of nonlinear derivatives is improved to extent.

The estimation of mortality characteristics of industrial property is an important adjunct to engineering valuation and depreciation estimation. Once the important of depreciation estimation is determined, it is desirable to understand the processes upon which these estimates are based. The Iowa type survivor curves are a set of generalized retirement dispersion models. These curves were based on analysis of actual retirement experience and represent typical retirement behavior patterns likely to be encountered. The retirement rate of Iowa type survivor curves on the semiconductor equipments in Korea industry was estimated by the life estimation process. In this paper, estimates of service lives based on directly observed data of the domestic semiconductor equipments are presented.

Design and maintenance of large span roof structures require an analysis of their static and dynamic behavior depending on the physical parameters defining the structures. Therefore, it is highly desirable to estimate the parameters from observations of the system. In this paper we study the parameter estimation problem for damped shallow arches. We discuss both symmetric and non-symmetric shapes and loads, and provide theoretical and numerical studies of the model behavior. Our study of the behavior of such structures shows that it is greatly affected by the existence of critical parameters. A small change in such parameters causes a significant change in the model behavior. The presence of the critical parameters makes it challenging to obtain good estimation. We overcome this difficulty by presenting the Parameter Estimation Algorithm that identifies the unknown parameters sequentially. It is shown numerically that the algorithm achieves a successful parameter estimation for models defined by arbitrary parameters, including the critical ones.
