Accurate actuator tracking is critical to achieve reliable real-time hybrid simulation results for earthquake engineering research. The frequency-domain evaluation approach provides an innovative way for more quantitative post-simulation evaluation of actuator tracking errors compared with existing time domain based techniques. Utilizing the Fast Fourier Transform the approach analyzes the actuator error in terms of amplitude and phrase errors. Existing application of the approach requires using the complete length of the experimental data. To improve the computational efficiency, two techniques including data decimation and frequency decimation are analyzed to reduce the amount of data involved in the frequency-domain evaluation. The presented study aims to enhance the computational efficiency of the approach in order to utilize it for future on-line actuator tracking evaluation. Both computational simulation and laboratory experimental results are analyzed and recommendations on the two decimation factors are provided based on the findings from this study.

HLA-RTI is Middleware for the distribute simulation that developed in the US Department of Defense. This provides fast accomplishment speed and reliability than distribute simulation Middleware by transfer. However, DDM(Data Distribution Management) service is used as data filtering technology in the existing HLA-RTI. As for this, the problem that network traffic increases in data exchange between the mobility simulation objects is generated. it proposes applying agent technology to the mobility simulation object in order to solve these problems in this paper in this. And this paper applies that to practical simulation and analyzes performance between each data filtering technology with comparison.

Semiconductor wafer fabrication is a business of high capital investment and fast changing nature. To be competitive, the production in a fab needs to be effectively planned and scheduled starting from the ramping up phase, so that the business goals such as on-time delivery, high output volume and effective use of capital intensive equipment can be achieved. In this paper, we propose Stand Alone layout and In-Line layout are analyzed and compared while varying number of device variable changes. The comparison is performed through simulation using ProSys; a window 98 based discrete system simulation software, as a tool for comparing performance of two proposed layouts. The comparison demonstrates that when the number of device variable change is small, In-Line layout is more efficient in terms of production quantity. However, as the number of device variable change is more than 14 titles, Stand Alone layout prevails over In-Line layout.

As circuits are larger and more complicated, logic simulation is playing a very important role in design verification. A good simulator should be fast and accurate, but unknown values in 3 value simulator may generate X-propagation problem which makes inaccurate output values. In this paper, a new partitioning method is devised to deal with X-propagation problem efficiently and an efficient algorithm is developed which is able to optimize time and accuracy by controlling partition depths. The results prove the effectiveness of the new simulation algorithm using some benchmark circuits.

It is very common in today 's design practice to simulate a big design with a large set of test vectors thereby generating a huge set of data (simulation results) to be analyzed. As the design grows, the simulation results grow and become harder to handled. In this paper, we present algorithms for the compression and regeneration of simulation results. The compression is performed by sampling nets in a circuit. If the user wants to examine the lost part of the data, it is quickly regenerated by applying incremental simulation technique. Experimental results obtained for several practical circuits show that the compression ratio of 10 is easily obtained while maintaining a reasonably fast regeneration of data on a 15.7 MIPS workstation. Using the proposed method we can effectively reduce debug cycle time.

In this paper, the equations of motion about vehicle, powertrain and brake system were derived. The vehicle has eight degrees of freedom with nonlinear tire model and the powertrain has two degrees of freedom containing engine, torque converter and four speed automatic transmission. The brake system has two states about front and rear brake line pressures. The transient tire model with first order time lag is also subjoined for low speed or stop-and-go simulation. The modeling was derived considering two points - the fidelity and the simplicity. The simulation using this model is similar with real vehicle dynamic behavior and the model is made as simple as possible far fast simulation. It is validated that the derived vehicle model can be applicable to the real time simulation.

The design of high power electronic circuits and the verification of the design by practical experiments are time and cost consuming. Recently power circuit simulation technique is developing to do it easily. However, most of the simulation has used the ideal switch model consists of passive component that can not describe the physical characteristics of semiconductor devices and cannot describe the switching transient state. For the design of such power electronic circuits by the simulation, the switching transients are very important. Therefore the simulation models must describe the switching transient and the stationary behavior as precisely as possible on the hand and as fast as possible the other hand. This paper introduces the application of the physical models of power devices that are developed by TUM(Technical University of Munich, Germany) for the power electronic circuit analysis.

In the present study, a mean torque predictive model has been proposed and experimentally validated. It includes induction air mass model, fuel delivery model and mean production mode. Air induction and fuel delivery model considering dynamic behaviors of air induction and fuel delivery were proposed to predict the air-fuel ratio excursions under transient condition. Torque function model reflects thermal efficiency, volumetric efficiency, friction and effect of spark timing. In the spark timing model, knock limit and acceleration retard are included. Experiments were carried out to validate the simulation model for the step changes of throttle at constant engine speed. The results show reasonable agreements between simulation and experiment at fully warmed condition. Using this model, fueling strategies are varied with fast throttle open and it can predict air-fuel ratio excursion and IMEP.

최근 시뮬레이션은 높은 신뢰도를 요구하는 통신망시스템이나, 높음 품질수준을 요 구하는 제조시스템의 분석 및 설계에 적용되어지고 있다. 이러한 신뢰도가 높은 시스템에 대한 시뮬레이션 적용의 난제는 실제 시스템과 시뮬레이션 모형이 얼마나 정확히 모델링을 하는가 하는 문제와 실제 모델링을 하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 얼마나 빠른 시간내에 정확 히 결과를 산출해 낼 수 있는가를 하는 것이다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해서 속산시뮬 레이션(fast simulation) 기법들이 연구되고 있다. 그러한 기법들로 Importance Sampling (IS), Regenerative Method (RM), Parallel Simulation 등이 연구되고 있다. IS는 잘 알려진 분산축소 기법으로 속산시뮬레이션을 위하여 많이 사용되고 있으나 실제로 복잡한 모델에 적용하기에는 많은 어려움이 따른다. 그 이유는 최적 표본분포 (Optimal Sampling Distribution)를 찾기 위한 방법이 정형화되어 있지 않아 모델마다 최적표본분포를 유사하게 추정해야 하는 어려움이 따르기 때문이다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 Nonparametric Improtance Sampling을 제안하고 실제로 M/M/1 대기행렬 모형에 적용하여 보았다.

In this paper, the consumable spare parts requirement determination problem of newly procured equipment systems is considered. The problem is formulated as the cost minimization problem with operational availability constraint. Assuming part failure rate is constant during operational period, an analytical method is developed to obtain spare part requirements. Since this solution tends to overestimate the requirements, a fast search simulation procedure is introduced to adjust it to the realistic solution. The analytical solution procedure and the simulation procedure are performed recursively until a near optimal solution is achieved. The experimental results show that the near optimal solution is approached in a fairly short amount of time.
