The objective of the investigation is the analysis of wind-tunnel experimental errors, associated with the measurement of aeroelastic coefficients of bridge decks (Scanlan flutter derivatives). A two-degree-of-freedom experimental apparatus is used for the measurement of flutter derivatives. A section model of a closed-box bridge deck is considered in this investigation. Identification is based on free-vibration aeroelastic tests and the Iterative Least Squares method. Experimental error investigation is carried out by repeating the measurements and acquisitions thirty times for each wind tunnel speed and configuration of the model. This operational procedure is proposed for analyzing the experimental variability of flutter derivatives. Several statistical quantities are examined; these quantities include the standard deviation and the empirical probability density function of the flutter derivatives at each wind speed. Moreover, the critical flutter speed of the setup is evaluated according to standard flutter theory by accounting for experimental variability. Since the probability distribution of flutter derivatives and critical flutter speed does not seem to obey a standard theoretical model, polynomial chaos expansion is proposed and used to represent the experimental variability.

Estimation of slope stability is a very important task in geotechnical engineering. However, its estimation using conventional and soft computing methods has several drawbacks. Use of conventional limit equilibrium methods for the evaluation of slope stability is very tedious and time consuming, while the use of soft computing approaches like Artificial Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic are black box approaches. Multiple Regression (MR) analysis provides an alternative to conventional and soft computing methods, for the evaluation of slope stability. MR models provide a simplified equation, which can be used to calculate critical factor of safety of slopes without adopting any iterative procedure, thereby reducing the time and complexity involved in the evaluation of slope stability. In the present study, a multiple regression model has been developed and tested its accuracy in the estimation of slope stability using real field data. Here, two separate multiple regression models have been developed for dry and wet slopes. Further, the accuracy of these developed models have been compared and validated with respect to conventional limit equilibrium methods in terms of Mean Square Error (MSE) & Coefficient of determination ($R^2$). As the developed MR models here are not based on any region specific data and covers wide range of parametric variations, they can be directly applied to any real slopes.

The advent of microarray technologies gives an opportunity to moni tor the expression of ten thousands of genes, simultaneously. Such microarray data can be deteriorated by experimental errors and image artifacts, which generate non-negligible outliers that are estimated by 15% of typical microarray data. Thus, it is an important issue to detect and correct the se faulty probes prior to high-level data analysis such as classification or clustering. In this paper, we propose a systematic procedure for the detection of faulty probes and its proper correction in Genechip array based on multivariate statistical approaches. Principal component analysis (PCA), one of the most widely used multivariate statistical approaches, has been applied to construct a statistical correlation model with 20 pairs of probes for each gene. And, the faulty probes are identified by inspecting the squared prediction error (SPE) of each probe from the PCA model. Then, the outlying probes are reconstructed by the iterative optimization approach minimizing SPE. We used the public data presented from the gene chip project of human fibroblast cell. Through the application study, the proposed approach showed good performance for probe correction without removing faulty probes, which may be desirable in the viewpoint of the maximum use of data information.

성능에 기초한 설계법에서는 비선형 응답산정이 필수적이며, 이를 위한 방법으로는 비선형시각이력해석법, 비선형 정적해석법, 비선형 효과를 고려한 등가선형해석법 등이 있다. 일부 규준에서는 pushover곡선으로부터 작성한 성능스펙트럼과 선형 응답스펙트럼으로부터 작성한 요구스펙트럼으로 이루어진 능력스펙트럼법을 제안하고 있다. 이 방법은 개념적으로는 간단하나 반복과정이 요구되며, 부정확한 결과를 산출하는 경우가 많다. 이에 따라 시행착오적인 등가선형 스펙트럼대신 비선형스펙트럼을 사용하는 방법들에 대한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 비선형 요구스펙트럼은 표준적 선형 설계스펙트럼으로부터 결정될 수 있으며, 이 방법은 등가선형의 경우보다는 계산과정이 대폭 줄어들기는 하나 아직도 다소의 연산과정이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다자유도계의 구조물에 대한 pushover곡선으로부터 구조물의 진동주기와 항복강도를 구한 다음, 일련의 계산과정을 거치지 않고도, 직접적으로 비선형 최대응답을 구할 수 있는 비선형 직접스펙트럼법(NDSM)을 제시하극 집중질량계의 MDF(다자유도계) 모델에 대해 다양한 지진기록과 제하강성저하지수를 변수로 하여 NDSM의 적용성과 신뢰성을 평가하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결론은 다음과 같다. 1) 다자유도계 구조물에 대한 비선형 직접스펙트럼법에 의한 최대변위 응답은 비선형 시각이력해석법에 의한 응답과 거의 일치하므로 실용적인 방법으로 사료된다. 2) 비선형 직접스펙트럼법과 비선형 시각이력해석에 의해 산정된 죄상층 변위 결과를 비교하면, 항복후강성계수가 0.1, MAD(modal adaptive distribution)에 의한 수평정적하중분폰 그리고 제하강성저하지수가 0.2~O.3일 때 평균오차가 가장 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다.

TOPS InSAR 처리를 위해서는 고정밀도의 영상정합이 요구된다. Sentinel-1 TOPS 모드영상에 교차상관 영상정합, 기하정합, Spectral Diversity 정합에 기반 한 Enhanced Spectral Diversity 정합 알고리즘 성능 비교분석을 통해 TOPS모드에 적합한 영상정합 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 25개의 Sentinel-1 TOPS 영상으로부터 생성된 23개의 간섭쌍을 이용하여, 교차상관정합(CC), 기하보정(GC1), 기하보정 후 교차상관정합(GC2, GC3, GC4) 그리고 ESD를 이용한 정합(ESD_GC, ESD_1, ESD_2) 총 8가지 방법을 적용하였다. 교차상관정합과 기하정합에 따른 azimuth 방향 정합오차를 평균한 결과는 각각 0.0041 화소, 0.0016 화소이다. 비록 ESD 방법은 azimuth 정합오차가 0.0005 화소 이하로 가장 정확한 결과를 보이지만, 기하정합 결과는 추가적인 교차상관정합을 통한 반복 과정을 통해 0.001 화소 정도로 오차가 감소하였다. ESD 방법은 burst 중첩지역의 긴밀도가 낮은 경우 적용이 불가능하다. 따라서 반복 적용을 통한 기하정합 방법은 다수의 SAR 자료를 이용한 시계열 분석 또는 긴 시간간격을 갖는 간섭도 생성을 위해서 적합한 대안이 된다.

최근 무선 이동통신에서 상대적으로 늘어난 다중 접속자들에 대해 대역폭을 효율적으로 사용하면서도 보다 빠른 데이터 전송률을 지원하기 위해 제안된 시공간 turbo 부호에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 시공간 turbo 부호의 복호 시 요구되는 계산량을 줄이기 위해 사전 정보를 근사화하여 이 정보를 고정 소수점 연산 시 간단하게 구현할 수 있는 복호 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 시공간 turbo 부호의 복호 알고리즘을 고정 소수점 연산을 이용하여 구현하였을 때 성능을 해석하였고 Log-MAP 알고리즘의 성능에 근사하는 효율적인 고정 소수점 구현 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법을 Log-MAP 알고리즘에 적용하여 성능을 분석하였고 기존의 Log-MAP의 결과에 거의 근접한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

In this work, we generalize a family of optimal eighth order weighted-Newton methods to Banach spaces and study its local convergence to approximate a locally-unique solution of a system of nonlinear equations. The convergence in this study is shown under hypotheses only on the first derivative. Our analysis avoids the usual Taylor expansions requiring higher order derivatives but uses generalized Lipschitz-type conditions only on the first derivative. Moreover, our new approach provides computable radius of convergence as well as error bounds on the distances involved and estimates on the uniqueness of the solution based on some functions appearing in these generalized conditions. Such estimates are not provided in the approaches using Taylor expansions of higher order derivatives which may not exist or may be very expensive or impossible to compute. The convergence order is computed using computational order of convergence or approximate computational order of convergence which do not require usage of higher derivatives. This technique can be applied to any iterative method using Taylor expansions involving high order derivatives. The study of the local convergence based on Lipschitz constants is important because it provides the degree of difficulty for choosing initial points. In this sense the applicability of the method is expanded. Finally, numerical examples are provided to verify the theoretical results and to show the convergence behavior.

In this paper, a mixed algorithm is proposed to overcome the limitations of the conventional algorithms, which cannot be applied in various driving patterns of drivers. The proposed algorithm based on the coulomb counting method is mixed with reset algorithms that consist of the enhanced OCV reset method and the DCIR iterative calculation method. It has many advantages, such as a simple model structure, low computational overload in various profiles, and a low accumulated SOC error through the frequent SOC reset. In addition, the enhanced parameter based on a mathematical analysis of the second-order RC ladder model is calculated and is then applied to all of the methods. The proposed algorithm is verified by experimental results based on a 27-Ah LiPB. It is observed that the SOC RMSE of the proposed algorithm decreases by about 9.16% compared to the coulomb counting method.

The backward differentiation formula (BDF) method is applied to a three-dimensional reactor kinetics calculation for efficient yet accurate transient analysis with adaptive time step control. The coarse mesh finite difference (CMFD) formulation is used for an efficient implementation of the BDF method that does not require excessive memory to store old information from previous time steps. An iterative scheme to update the nodal coupling coefficients through higher order local nodal solutions is established in order to make it possible to store only node average fluxes of the previous five time points. An adaptive time step control method is derived using two order solutions, the fifth and the fourth order BDF solutions, which provide an estimate of the solution error at the current time point. The performance of the BDF- and CMFD-based spatial kinetics calculation and the adaptive time step control scheme is examined with the NEACRP control rod ejection and rod withdrawal benchmark problems. The accuracy is first assessed by comparing the BDF-based results with those of the Crank-Nicholson method with an exponential transform. The effectiveness of the adaptive time step control is then assessed in terms of the possible computing time reduction in producing sufficiently accurate solutions that meet the desired solution fidelity.
