Simulation-based hull form optimization is a typical HEB (high-dimensional, expensive computationally, black-box) problem. Conventional optimization algorithms easily fall into the "curse of dimensionality" when dealing with HEB problems. A recently proposed Cross-Entropy (CE) optimization algorithm is an advanced stochastic optimization algorithm based on a probability model, which has the potential to deal with high-dimensional optimization problems. Currently, the CE algorithm is still in the theoretical research stage and rarely applied to actual engineering optimization. One reason is that the Monte Carlo (MC) method is used to estimate the high-dimensional integrals in parameter update, leading to a large sample size. This paper proposes an improved CE algorithm based on quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) estimation using high-dimensional truncated Sobol subsequence, referred to as the QMC-CE algorithm. The optimization performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of the original CE algorithm. With a set of identical control parameters, the tests on six standard test functions and a hull form optimization problem show that the proposed algorithm not only has faster convergence but can also apply to complex simulation optimization problems.

This paper evaluates daily precipitation products from Integrated Multisatellite Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG), Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Multisatellite (TRMM) Precipitation Analysis (TMPA), and the Climate Prediction Center Morphing Method (CMORPH), validated against gauge observation over South Korea and gauge-based analysis data East Asia during one year from June 2014 to May 2015. It is found that the three products effectively capture the seasonal variation of mean precipitation with relatively good correlation from spring to fall. Among them, IMERG and TMPA show quite similar precipitation characteristics but overall underestimation is found from all precipitation products during winter compared with observation. IMERG shows reliably high performance in precipitation for all seasons, showing the most unbiased and accurate precipitation estimation. However, it is also noticed that IMERG reveals overestimated precipitation for heavier precipitation thresholds. This assessment work suggests the validity of the IMERG product for not only seasonal precipitation but also daily precipitation, which has the potential to be used as reference precipitation data.

최근 대형 건축물들은 접지그리드를 기반으로 한 공통접지방식을 채택하고 있다. 이러한 접지시스템의 성능평가는 접지저항만으로 불충분하므로 접지임피던스의 측정이 요구된다. 대형 접지시스템의 접지임피던스에 대한 측정 방법은 IEEE standard 81.2에 기술되었으나 세부적인 평가방법들은 제시되지 못한 상태이다. 본 논문은 15[m]$\times$15[m] 접지그리드에 대하여 수정된 전위강하법에 기반한 접지임피던스의 정확한 측정방법과 보조전극의 위치에 따른 도전유도 및 전자유도에 의한 측정오차를 기술한다. 그 결과 도전유도에 의한 오차는 보조전극의 거리가 늘어날수록 감소하였다. 전자유도에 의한 오차를 배제하기 위해서 전위측정선은 전류측정선과 90도를 이루어야 한다. 전위측정선과 전류측정선이 예각 또는 둔각을 이루었을 때 전자유도전압은 각각 + 또는 -를 나타내었다. 일반적으로 전자유도에 의한 오차는 예각에 비해서 둔각의 경로가 작게 나타났다.

This paper presents the results of experimental and numerical research on the slamming phenomenon. Two experimental techniques were proposed in this study. The traditional free drop tests were carried out. However, the free drop tests done in this study using an LM guide showed excellent repeatability, unlike those of other researchers. The coefficients of variation for the drop test done in this experiment were less than 0.1. The other experimental technique proposed in this study was a novel concept that used a pneumatic cylinder. The pneumatic cylinder could accelerate the specimen over a very short distance from the free surface. As a result, high rates of repeatability were achieved. In the numerical study, the development of in-house code and utilization of commercial code were carried out. The in-house code developed was based on the boundary element method. It is a potential code. This was mostly applied to the computation of the wedge entry problem. The commercial code utilized was FLUENT. Most of the previous slamming research was done under the assumption of a constant body velocity all through the impact process, which is not realistic at all. However, the interaction of a fluid and body were taken into account by employing a user-defined function in this study. The experimental and numerical results were compared. The in-house code based on BEM showed better agreement than that of the FLUENT computation when it cames to the wedge computation. However, the FLUENT proved that it could deal with a very complex geometry while BEM could not. The proposed experimental and numerical procedures were shown to be very promising tools for dealing with slamming problems.

3점전위강하법을 이용한 접지저항을 측정하는데 있어서 관건이 되는 것은 전류전극에까지 이르는 직선 거리상에서 어느 지점에 접지저항의 참값이 존재하는 지를 찾는데 있다. 그러한 전위점 변화에 영향을 미치는 최대의 변수는 토양의 구성 조건이다. 61.8%법칙은 토양이 균일한 경우의 접지저항 참값을 나타내는 전위점(이하 $R_t$)을 말하는 것이다. 이종 토양구성인 경우 $R_t$는 61.8%에 있지 않으며 이에 대하여는 Dawalibi의 논문에 여러 토양 구성의 기본 모델에 대한 실험적 $R_t$를 제시하고 있다. 이러한 것은 토양의 구성 조건을 안다는 전제하에 적용할 수 있는 것이며 실제의 측정 환경에 있어서 특별히 분석을 하지 않는 한, 토양의 구성이 어떠한 특성으로 이루어져 있는 지를 알고 측정한다는 것은 현실적으로 불가능한 일이다. Dawalibi의 논문을 분석하여 보면 $R_t$에 변이를 일으키는 것은 이종 토양 구성에 의한 대지저항률의 차이에 의한 것임을 알 수 있다. 결론적으로 $R_t$는 대지저항률이 낮은 토양 쪽으로 이동하게 되는데 이것이 전위차 특성 그래프의 기울기상에 변화를 준다. 즉 $R_t$는 전위차 곡선의 기울기에 따라 변화하고 전위차 곡선의 기울기는 인근 토양 구성에 의한 영항을 받으므로 이들의 정량적 상관 관계를 분석하여 원리적 변화 규칙을 정형화하면 굳이 토양의 구성 상태를 알지 않고도 $R_t$를 산출할 수 있는 방법을 도출한 수 있으며 역으로 토양의 구성 특성을 감지할 수 있는 측정 방법을 수립할 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 취지의 정량 관계 해석을 통한 현실적 측정 방법을 제공한다.분야 별로 아키텍쳐 정도가 다르게 나타나고 있었다(전자 부품은 분야는 오히려 모듈형에 가까웠음). 비단 항공기 개발과정 뿐만 아니라 다른 산업, 제품에도 적용될 수 있는 틀을 마련함으로써, 기존 연구개발기회에서 산업기술 분석을 통한 체계적 기획으로 전환할 수 있는 새로운 대안을 제시한다. 결과적으로 산업기술의 특성과 구조를 반영한 기술개발 방법론으로 아키텍쳐 이론을 적용할 수 있는 단초를 마련했으며, 이것은 본 논문이 기대하는 바이기도 하다.쁖잖⨀쁖잖⨀／ࠐ쁡잖⨀焆덐瀆倆Ā뫫뫫ĀĀĀĀꪛ䂇잖⨀?잖⨀⁅잖⨀耇잖⨀梷熸ጁ庆䌀―?⨀က䀜徾遖洀ᘘ⼄ⴟᠯЭ⠘

The poor maintenance practice increases the possibility of system failure. Subsequently, the consequences of failure fall on the aspects of output, safety and healthy, environmental integrity, system quality, and customer satisfaction. Conditionbased maintenance is seen as a potential strategy to improve performance. Whereby, the key success factor of this maintenance strategy is identified as the system inspection. This study aims to investigate the association between system breakdown rate and frequency of inspection. A mixed method approach is implemented by distributing questionnaire and interviewing for data collection. Subsequently, descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and regression are adopted to analyse the collected data from 100 respondents and the results are validated with interview data of 10 interviewees. The research result establishes significant relationship between the system breakdown rate and the frequency of inspection. Additionally, the result of regression analysis confirms that the frequency of inspection is the significant predictor of system breakdown rate. Planning of accurate inspection frequency is crucial to secure the system performance. Hence, the research signifies the importance to carry out regular inspection towards the building systems and components. As a recommendation, the maintenance personnel should assess the risk criticality of the building systems. Then, continuously monitor the condition of critical building systems; regularly inspect the condition of non-critical building systems and randomly inspect all of them.

This study presents an experimental and numerically study about the effects of fiber reinforcement ratio on the behavior of concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST) under dynamic impact loading. In literature have examined the behavior of GFRP and FRP wrapped strengthened CFST elements impact loads. However, since the direction of potential impact force isn't too exact, there is always the probability of not being matched the impact force of the area where the reinforced. Therefore, instead of the fiber textile wrapping method which strengthens only a particular area of CFST element, we used fiber-added concrete-filled elements which allow strengthening the whole element. Thus, the effect of fiber-addition in concrete on the behavior of CFST elements under impact loads was examined. To do so, six simply supported CFST beams were constructed with none fiber, 2% fiber and 10% fiber reinforcement ratio on the concrete part of the CFST beam. CFST beams were examined under two different impact loads (75 kg and 225 kg). The impactors hit the beam from a 2000 mm free fall during the experimental study. Numerical models of the specimens were created using ABAQUS finite element software and validated with experimental data. The obtained results such as; mid-span displacement, acceleration, failure modes and energies from experimental and numerical studies were compared and discussed. Furthermore, the Von Misses stress distribution of the CFST beams with different ratio of fiber reinforcements were investigated numerically. To sum up, there is an optimum amount limit of the fiber reinforcement on CFST beams. Up to this limit, the fiber reinforcement increases the structural performances of the beam, beyond that limit the fiber reinforcement decreases the performances of the CFST beam under transverse impact loadings.

Straw and other fibrous by-products are inevitably produced during cereal production and have traditionally been used for many purposes including feeding animals . The potential of these by -products as a feed resource for ruminants is being increasingly appreciated (FAO , 1977). In the future, the amount of cereals fed to farm animals will have to be reduced and livestock will have to rely more on by-products such as straw. The method of animal production can be classified by the major portion of feed. One is animal forage and the other is grains. In Korea , livestock farmers normally depend more than 70% upon grains for the feed stuff. The livestock production system causes the unbalance of nutrition, and results in low productivity of animal farming. In many livestock farms in Korea the rice straw is using as a major forage and the amount of rice straw fed takes 46% of total amount of required forages. Especially the rice straw is mainly using during spring, fall and winte season. However, there are still lots of problems to solved such as harvesting cost, transportation between rice farm ad livestock farm, and quality loss during drying and storage . Therefore the mechanization of straw harvesting is urgently needed to use the renewable agricultural by-products and to overcome the shortage of animal forage. The objective of this research is to develope a straw harvester with new concept which can solve the problems of the quality loss and the labor cost during drying in a field, collecting , and storage. The developed straw harvester is self-propelled machine rebuilt by rice combine and equipped with the pick-up device, the macerater and the mat-forming device.

본 실험에서는 청과물의 포장 완충재로 사용되고 있는 골판지의 압축 및 충격특성을 이용하여 완충곡선(peak acceleration - static stress curve)을 구현하기 위한 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 알 수 있듯이 한 개의 동적계수로도 완충곡선을 구현할 수 있음을 알 수가 있었으며, 기존의 완충곡선의 구현시 정적응력 범위 내에서의 실험횟수를 현저하게 줄일 수 있음을 알 수가 있었다. 또한, 골판지 완충재료 외에 플라스틱 발포체 완충재료에도 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.
