Based on the spatial substructure hybrid simulation test (SHST) method, the seismic performance of a high-strength steel composite K-eccentrically braced frame (K-HSS-EBF) structure system is studied. First, on the basis of the existing pseudostatic experiments, a numerical model corresponding to the experimental model was established using OpenSees, which mainly simulated the shear effect of the shear links. A three-story and five-span spatial K-HSS-EBF was taken as the prototype, and SHST was performed with a half-scale SHST model. According to the test results, the validity of the SHST model was verified, and the main seismic performance indexes of the experimental substructure under different seismic waves were studied. The results show that the hybrid simulation results are basically consistent with the numerical simulation results of the global structure. The deformation of each story is mainly concentrated in the web of the shear link owing to shear deformation. The maximum interstory drifts of the model structure during Strength Level Earthquake (SLE) and Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) meet the demands of interstory limitations in the Chinese seismic design code of buildings. In conclusion, the seismic response characteristics of the K-HSS-EBFs are successfully simulated using the spatial SHST, which shows that the K-HSS-EBFs have good seismic performance.

This paper presents the strength safety of a hybrid alarm valve by a finite element analysis. The stress and strain of a conventional hybrid alarm valve are calculated for the given maximum test pressure of 2MPa. Especially, the FEM computed maximum stress of a conventional hybrid valve is only 18.6% of yield strength, 370MPa. This means that the conventional valve is designed with a thick thickness of a valve structure. But, new hybrid alarm valve model, which is developed by optimized design method in this study, shows more low level of 43% in maximum stress and strain compared with that of a conventional hybrid valve. These results may recommend the reduction of a weight and a dimension for an optimized hybrid alarm valve.

As object models and hybrid knowledge are increasingly used in current information systems development, Is-a structures need to be more formally defined, and subsequently subsumption related anomalies need to be detected with minimal declaration of meta knowledge. This paper extends a metagraph in the hybrid environments and demonstrates its utilities for detecting such anomalies that can occur from semantics and dynamics unique to the hybrid knowledge and data structure.

Tension and Membrane have the potential to enable the realization of lightweight structures that have the attractive features of structures efficiency and aesthetical expression. Compared with pure (thorough-bred) tension structures such as cable net, air dome and tensegrity, so called hybrid tension structures such as beam string, tensegric system and other mixed structures have Potential still to be realized. After synnaruzubg the simple definition of tensegric structure, some holistic designs for hybrid tension structures completed recently in the author's practice are given.

This paper presents the hybrid stepping machine for linear oscillating generators. The focus of the work is the suggestion of the improved model through the comparison of proposed models ; new flux concentrating PMs mover of the hybrid stepping generator is proposed based on the symmetrical and non-symmetrical stator cores of the surface mounted PMs mover, and non-slanted PMs and slanted PMs of the flux concentrating PMs mover. It is achieved using equivalent magnetic circuit considering leakage elements. Finally, this study suggests new hybrid stepping structure of linear oscillating generator.

The hybrid approach for structural experiments decomposes a structure into independent substructures that can be tested or simulated. The results from the decomposed substructures are combined to predict the behaviors of the entires structure. The hybrid approach is especially useful for the hybrid pseudo-dynamic tests that overcome the limitations of size of a test structure present in a shaking table test. The development of a computer system for the hybrid experiment requires a data model that formally organizes the information involved in the hybrid experiments. This paper provides the data model for representing the information involved in the hybrid experiments, by modifying the classes and attributes for the hybrid experiments in the Lehigh Model that is one of the data models for structural experiments. The data model for the hybrid experiments includes the classes for the physical substructures being tested and the analytical substructures being analyzed, and the simulation coordinator managing the overall experiments. Some objects for classes are implemented as an example to show the links among the classes. The data model presented in this paper can be applied for developing a computer system that helps structural engineers and researchers store, share, and access the information for the hybrid experiments.

This paper presents hybrid structural damage monitoring system which performs both global damage assessment of structure and damage detection of local structural joints. Hybrid damage monitoring system is composed of vibration-based technique and electro/mechanic impedance technique. Vibration-based technique detects global characteristic change ot structure using modal characteristic change of structure, and electro/mechanical impedance technique detects damage existence of local structural joints using impedance change of PZT sensor. For the verification of the proposed hybrid monitoring system, a series of damage scenarios are designed to loosened bolts situations of the structural joints, and acceleration response and impedance response signatures are measured. The proposed hybrid monitoring system is implemented to monitor global damage-state and local damages in structural joints.

This paper suggests an optimal identification method for complex and nonlinear system modeling that is based on Fuzzy-Neural Networks(FNN). The proposed Hybrid Identification Algorithm is based on Yamakawa's FNN and uses the simplified inference as fuzzy inference method and Error Back Propagation Algorithm as learning rule. In this paper, the FNN modeling implements parameter identification using HCM algorithm and hybrid structure combined with two types of optimization theories for nonlinear systems. We use a HCM(Hard C-Means) clustering algorithm to find initial apexes of membership function. The parameters such as apexes of membership functions, learning rates, and momentum coefficients are adjusted using hybrid algorithm. The proposed hybrid identification algorithm is carried out using both a genetic algorithm and the improved complex method. Also, an aggregated objective function(performance index) with weighting factor is introduced to achieve a sound balance between approximation and generalization abilities of the model. According to the selection and adjustment of a weighting factor of an aggregate objective function which depends on the number of data and a certain degree of nonlinearity(distribution of I/O data), we show that it is available and effective to design an optimal FNN model structure with mutual balance and dependency between approximation and generalization abilities. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, we use the time series data for gas furnace, the data of sewage treatment process and traffic route choice process.

This paper suggests a new structure of hybrid DRC to enhance the psychoacoustic sound quality of a conventional multiband DRC. The proposed hybrid DRC consists of two serially cascaded stages. The front stage DRC is multiband, and it compresses input based on RMS level detection, whereas, the back stage DRC is single band, and it regulates input according to peak level detection. The proposed hybrid DRC shows better loudness while suppressing distortion by clipping. The proposed algorithm was verified through MATLAB simulation, and it was implemented using an FPGA board for listening test. The test result showed that the proposed hybrid structure enhances overall psychoacoustic sound quality compared to conventional structures, which is based on only RMS or peak level detection.
