In this paper optimization of volume fraction distribution in a thick hollow cylinder with finite length made of two-dimensional functionally graded material (2D-FGM) and subjected to steady state thermal and mechanical loadings is considered. The finite element method with graded material properties within each element (graded finite elements) is used to model the structure. Volume fractions of constituent materials on a finite number of design points are taken as design variables and the volume fractions at any arbitrary point in the cylinder are obtained via cubic spline interpolation functions. The objective function selected as having the normalized effective stress equal to one at all points that leads to a uniform stress distribution in the structure. Genetic Algorithm jointed with interior penalty-function method for implementing constraints is effectively employed to find the global solution of the optimization problem. Obtained results indicates that by using the uniform distribution of normalized effective stress as objective function, considerably more efficient usage of materials can be achieved compared with the power law volume fraction distribution. Also considering uniform distribution of safety factor as design criteria instead of minimizing peak effective stress affects remarkably the optimum volume fractions.

전력산업구조 개편 시 변화된 전력계통 환경하에서 효율적인 계통운용 및 계획을 위해서는 계통의 수송능력(Power Transfer Capability)을 산정하는 작업이 필수적이다. 또한 송전망의 자유로운 접근(Open Access)과 같은 전력정책의 변화로 인하여 전력계통은 더욱더 고부하상태에서 운전될 가능성이 높아지게 되었다. 전력계통의 부하가 증가하면 전압안정도 여유가 감소하므로 전력계통은 전압붕괴와 같은 전압안정도 문제를 야기시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 전력계통의 수송능력 산정문제에 대해 전압안정도여유 제약을 고려 할 수 있는 수송능력산정 알고리즘 개발에 연구의 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 전압안정도 여유제약식을 정식화한 다음 이를 수송능력 산정문제에 반영할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 그리고 이를 시험계통에 적용하여 본 연구의 타당성을 검증하고 유응한 정보를 도출하였다.

A new analytical derivation of the elastodynamic point load solutions for an isotropic multi-layered half-space is presented by means of the precise integration method (PIM) and the approach of dual vector. The time-harmonic external load is prescribed either on the external boundary or in the interior of the solid medium. Starting with the axisymmetric governing motion equations in a cylindrical coordinate system, a second order ordinary differential matrix equation can be gained by making use of the Hankel integral transform. Employing the technique of dual vector, the second order ordinary differential matrix equation can be simplified into a first-order one. The approach of PIM is implemented to obtain the solutions of the ordinary differential matrix equation in the Hankel integral transform domain. The PIM is a highly accurate algorithm to solve sets of first-order ordinary differential equations and any desired accuracy of the dynamic point load solutions can be achieved. The numerical simulation is based on algebraic matrix operation. As a result, the computational effort is reduced to a great extent and the computation is unconditionally stable. Selected numerical trials are given to validate the accuracy and applicability of the proposed approach. More examples are discussed to portray the dependence of the load-displacement response on the isotropic parameters of the multi-layered media, the depth of external load and the frequency of excitation.

TV white space (TVWS) is showing promise to become the first widespread practical application of cognitive technology. In fact, regulators worldwide are beginning to allow access to the TV band for secondary users, on the provision that they access the geolocation database. Device-to-device (D2D) can improve the spectrum efficiency, but large-scale D2D communications that underlie TVWS may generate undesirable interference to TV receivers and cause severe mutual interference. In this paper, we use an established geolocation database to investigate the power allocation problem, in order to maximize the total sum throughput of D2D links in TVWS while guaranteeing the quality-of-service (QoS) requirement for both D2D links and TV receivers. Firstly, we formulate an optimization problem based on the system model, which is nonconvex and intractable. Secondly, we use an effective approach to convert the original problem into a series of convex problems and we solve these problems using interior point methods that have polynomial computational complexity. Additionally, we propose an iterative algorithm based on the barrier method to locate the optimal solution. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has strong performance with high approximation accuracy for both small and large dimensional problems, and it is superior to both the active set algorithm and genetic algorithm.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is increasingly used throughout the facility's life cycle for various applications, such as design, construction, facility management, and maintenance. For existing buildings, the geometry of as-built BIM is often constructed using dense, three dimensional (3D) point clouds data obtained with laser scanners. Traditionally, as-built BIM systems do not contain the material and textural information of the buildings' elements. This paper presents a semi-automatic method for generation of material and texture rich as-built BIM. The method captures and integrates material and textural information of building elements into as-built BIM using thermal infrared sensing (TIS). The proposed method uses TIS to capture thermal images of the interior walls of an existing building. These images are then processed to extract the interior walls using a segmentation algorithm. The digital numbers in the resulted images are then transformed into radiance values that represent the emitted thermal infrared radiation. Machine learning techniques are then applied to build a correlation between the radiance values and the material type in each image. The radiance values were used to extract textural information from the images. The extracted textural and material information are then robustly integrated into the as-built BIM providing the data needed for the assessment of building conditions in general including energy efficiency, among others.

Lately, customers think highly of the emotional satisfaction and as a result, issues on odor are matters of concern. The cases are odor of interior material and air-conditioner of vehicles. In particualar, with respect to the odor of air-conditioner, customers strongly claimed defects with provocative comments : "It smells like something rotten," "It smells like a foot odor," "It stinks like a rag." Generally, it is known that mold of evaporator core in the air-conditioning system decays and this produce VOCs which causes the odor to occur. In this study, partial least squares regression model is applied to predict the strength of the odor and select of important VOCs which affect car air conditioning smell. The PLS method is basically a particular multilinear regression algorithm which can handle correlated inputs and limited data. The number of latent variable is determined by the point which is stabilized mean absolute deviations of VOCs data. Also multiple linear regression is carried out to confirm the validity of PLS method.

In this paper, we address a new robust optimization problem in a multiuser multiple-input single-output broadcasting system with simultaneous wireless information and power transmission, where a multi-antenna base station (BS) sends energy and information simultaneously to multiple users equipped with a single antenna. Assuming that perfect channel-state information (CSI) for all channels is not available at the BS, the uncertainty of the CSI is modeled by an Euclidean ball-shaped uncertainty set. To optimally design transmit beamforming weights and receive power splitting, an average total transmit power minimization problem is investigated subject to the individual harvested power constraint and the received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio constraint at each user. Due to the channel uncertainty, the original problem becomes a homogeneous quadratically constrained quadratic problem, which is NP-hard. The original design problem is reformulated to a relaxed semidefinite program, and then two different approaches based on convex programming are proposed, which can be solved efficiently by the interior point algorithm. Numerical results are provided to validate the robustness of the proposed algorithms.

위치 추정 기술 (LDT, Location Detection Technology)은 자원관리 및 통신 서비스의 품질을 향상시키기 위한 무선통신 분야에서 사용되고 있는 LBS(Location Based Service)의 핵심기술 중 하나이다. 이동국(MS, mobile station)의 위치는 세 개의 기지국(BS, base station)들의 좌표와 이동국과 기지국들 사이의 거리에 상응하는 반지름에 기초한 세 개의 원들에 기반한 도래시간(TOA, Time of Arrival)기법을 사용하여 추정된다. 삼각변 측량법을 이용하여 정확한 이동국의 위치를 추정하기 위해서는 세 개의 원들이 한 점에서 만나야 하는데, 이동국과 기지국의 거리를 추정하기 위한 시간지연 개수와 전송 주파수에 따라 원들의 반지름이 증가하여 세 개의 원들이 한 점에서 만나지 못하는 경우들이 발생한다. 반지름이 증가된 세 개의 원들은 여섯 개의 교점을 가지게 되고 이 교점들 중 세 개의 교점들이 특정 이동국의 좌표에 가까이 위치하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 여섯 개의 전체 교점들 중에서 세 개의 내부 교점들을 선택하는 TOA 삼각변 측량법을 위한 최단 거리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 여섯 개의 교점들 중 이동국의 좌표와 가장 가까운 세 개의 교점을 선택하고, 선택된 교점들의 평균 좌표를 특정 이동국의 위치로 결정한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능은 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 예를 통해 확인된다.
