This paper presents the global-local finite cover method (GL-FCM) that is capable of analyzing structures involving local heterogeneities and propagating cracks. The suggested method is composed of two techniques. One of them is the FCM, which is one of the PU-based generalized finite element methods, for the analysis of local cohesive crack growth. The mechanical behavior evaluated in local heterogeneous structures by the FCM is transferred to the overall (global) structure by the so-called mortar method. The other is a method of mesh superposition for hierarchical modeling, which enables us to evaluate the average stiffness by the analysis of local heterogeneous structures not subjected to crack propagation. Several numerical experiments are conducted to validate the accuracy of the proposed method. The capability and applicability of the proposed method is demonstrated in an illustrative numerical example, in which we predict the mechanical deterioration of a reinforced concrete (RC) structure, whose local regions are subjected to propagating cracks induced by reinforcement corrosion.

Aiming at the optimal placement of communication relay nodes (OPCRN) problem in manned/unmanned aerial vehicle cooperative engagement system, this paper designed a kind of fully connected broadband backbone communication topology. Firstly, problem description of OPCRN was given. Secondly, based on problem analysis, the element attributes and decision variables were defined, and a bi-level programming model including physical layer and logical layer was established. Thirdly, a hierarchical artificial bee colony (HABC) algorithm was adopted to solve the model. Finally, multiple sets of simulation experiments were carried out to prove the effectiveness and superiority of the algorithm.

An important goal of computational wind engineering is to impact the design process with simulations of flow around buildings and bridges. One challenging aspect of this goal is to solve the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations accurately. For the unsteady computations, an adaptive finite element technique may reduce the computer time and storage. The preliminary application of a p-version as well as an h-version adaptive technique to computational wind engineering has been reported in previous paper. The details on the implementation of p-adaptive technique will be discussed in this paper. In this technique, two posteriori error estimations, which are based on the velocity and vorticity, are first presented. Then, the polynomial order of the interpolation function is increased continuously element by element until the estimated error is less than the accepted. The second through sixth orders of hierarchical functions are used as the interpolation polynomials. Unequal order interpolations are used for velocity and pressure. Using the flow around a circular cylinder with Reynolds number of 1000 the two error estimators are compared. The result show that the estimated error based on the velocity is lower than that based on the vorticity.

This paper deals with the problems and their possible solutions in the development of finite element for analysis of shell. Based on these solution schemes, a series of flat shell elements are established which show no signs of membrane locking and other defects even though the coarse meshes are used. In the element formulation, non-conforming displacement modes are extensively used for improvement of element behaviors. A number of numerical tests are performed to prove the validity of the solutions to the problems involved in establishing a series of high performance flat shell elements. The test results reveal among others that the high accuracy and fast convergence characteristics of the elements are obtainable by the use of various non-conforming modes and that the ‘Direct Modification Method’ is a very useful tool for non-conforming elements to pass the patch tests. Furthermore, hierarchical and higher order non-conforming modes are proved to be very efficient not only to make an element insensitive to the mesh distortion but also to remove the membrane locking. Some numerical examples are solved to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the presented elements to practical engineering shell problems.

본 논문은 $Ni-A{\ell}_2O_3$로 구성된 금속-세라믹 이종 입자복합재의 2차원 미세구조(microstructure) 생성과 미세구조 스케일(scale)에 따라 정의되는 계층적 모델들의 역학적 특성 분석에 관한 내용이다. 이종 입자복합재의 미세구조는 수학적인 MDF(random morphology description functions) 모델링기법을 복합재의 2차원 RVE(representative volume element) 영역에 적용하여 생성하였다. 그리고 미세구조 생성에 필요한 가우스 함수들의 개수에 따라 미세구조의 계층적 모델을 정의하였다. 한편 임의 미세구조 내 금속과 세라믹 입자가 차지하는 체적분율(volume fraction)은 RMDF 함수의 레벨을 조정함으로서 설정하였다. RMDF기법에 의한 미세구조들은 가우스 함수들의 개수가 일정할지라도 랜덤하게 생성된다. 이렇게 랜덤하게 생성되는 미세구조들을 2차원 보(beam) 모델에 적용하여 미세구조의 스케일에 따른 수직응력과 전단응력의 계층적 변동을 수치 해석적으로 고찰하였다. 또한, 균열해석을 통해 RMDF의 랜덤성과 가우스 함수들의 개수가 균열선단에서의 응력값에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다.

본 논문에서는 이진 분열(binary split)에 의한 새로운 계층구조(hierarchical structure)의 형태학적 영상분할 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이는 각 계층에서 화질이 가장 낮은 하나의 영역에서 생성된 여러 마커중에서 단지 밝기 차가 가장 큰 두 개의 마커를 이용하여 두 영역으로 분할한다. 따라서 제안한 알고리즘은 기존의 방법보다 제한된 개수의 영역으로 화질의 개선을 가져오고 부호화 비용이 많이 소요되고, 인간시각에 민감하지 않는 경계선 정보를 감소시킨다. 또한 분할되는 영역의 개수를 조절할 수 있어 대역폭이 매우 제한된 PSTN(public switched telephone network), LAN, 그리고 이동통신망과 같은 환경에서 사용하기에 적합하다. 그리고 분할 결과에서 작은 영역을 없애기 위한 후처리 과정이 필요 없고, 각 계층의 단순화 단계에서 작은 크기의 형태소만을 사용하므로 기존의 방법보다 연산량이 적고 구조적으로 매우 간단하다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of degrees of freedom on the multi-synergies in two hierarchies of human hand system during force production and releasing tasks. Method: In this study, the constrained movements of the aiming and releasing actions using both hands and fingers during archery-like shooting were implemented as experimental tasks. The participants produced a pulling force holding the customized frame (mimicking an archery bow, with a set of force transducers) and kept it consistently for about 5 seconds, and released fingers as quickly as possible in a self-paced manner within the next 5 seconds. An analytical method based on the uncontrolled manifold hypothesis was used to quantify the stability index (synergy index) in two hierarchies including two hands (upper hierarchy) and individual fingers (lower hierarchy). Results: The results confirmed that the positive synergy pattern showed simultaneously at the upper and lower hierarchies, and the kinetic degrees of freedom were associated with the increment of hierarchical synergy indices and the performance indices. Also, the synergy indices of both hierarchies showed significant positive correlations with the performance accuracy during the task. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the human control system actively uses extra degrees of freedom to stabilize task performance variables. Further increasing the degree of freedom at one level of hierarchy induces positive interactions across hierarchical control levels, which in turn positively affects the accuracy and precision of task performance.

This paper deals with the development of h-version adaptive mesh refinement and recovery strategy using variable-node elements and its application to various engineering field problems with 2D quadrilateral and 3D hexahedral models. The variable-node elements which have variable mid-side nodes on edges or faces are effectively used in overcoming some problems in connecting the different layer patterns of the transition zone between the refined and coarse mesh. A modified recovery technique of gradients adequate for variable-node elements and proper selection of error norms for each engineering field problems are proposed. In the region in which the error is greater than the permissible refinement error, the mesh is locally refined by subdivision. Reversely, in some parts of the domain having the error smaller than the permissible recovery error, the mesh is locally recovered (coarsened) by combination. Hierarchical structures (e.g. quadtrees and octrees) and element-based storage structures are composed to perform this adaptive process of refinement and recovery. Some numerical examples of a 3D heat conduction analysis of the concrete with hydration heat and a 2D flow analysis of vortex shedding show effectiveness and validity of the proposed scheme.

본 논문에서는 Reissner-Mindlin 평판이론에 근거한 계층적 $C^{\circ}$-평판요소가 제안되었다. 적분형 르장드르 형상함수에 근거한 계층요소를 제안하는 이유는 종래의 h-version 유한요소법의 개념 을 사용하여 전단구속 효과등에 대한 해의 정확도 및 수치안정성을 확보할 수 있는 요소를 만드는데 여전히 어려움이 수반되기 때문이다. 적응적 체눈 p-세분화와 선택적 형상함수 차수 p의 분포를 사용하는 hp-version 유한요소법을 사용하여 내부주변은 자유단의 개구부를 갖고, 외부주변이 단순지지된 L-형 평판해석을 수행하였는데 종래의 h-version 유한요소법에 비해 우월한 수렴성과 전단구속을 피할 수 있는 등의 알고리즘 효율성을 보여 주고 있다.

본 논문에서는 XML 문서의 접근을 통제하기 위한 권한부여 기법으로 예측성 플래그를 활용하여 기존에 부여된 권한과 새롭게 추가할 권한 사이의 충돌을 효율적으로 탐지할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다. XML 문서는 상위 레벨의 한 엘리먼트가 하위 레벨의 여러 엘리먼트들로 구성되는 계층구조를 이룬다. 이러한 계층구조의 XML 문서에 대한 기존의 권한부여 기법은 임의의 한 레벨에 부여된 권한이 그 레벨의 모든 하위 레벨 엘리먼트들에 동일한 권한이 묵시적으로 부여되는 권한부여 기법이다. 이런 기법에서는 특정의 한 엘리먼트에 권한을 부여하려면 그 엘리먼트의 모든 하위 레벨의 엘리먼트들에 대해서 충돌이 일어나는 권한이 이미 부여 되어 있는지 검사하여야 하는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이런 어려움을 해결하기 위하여 한 엘리먼트에 권한을 부여할 때 그 엘리먼트의 상위 레벨의 엘리먼트들에 대해서 권한이 부여된 하위 엘리먼트가 있음을 나타내는 예측성 플래그를 미리 설정하여 두는 새로운 권한부여 기법을 제안하고 그 효율성을 입증한다.
