Optimal Power dispatch is the short-term decision of the optimal output of a number of power generation facilities, to meet the system demand, with the objective of Power dispatching at the lowest possible cost, subject to transmission lines power loss and operational constraints. The operational constraint includes power balance constraint, generator limit constraint, and emission dispatch constraint and valve point effects. In this paper, Opposition based Differential Evolution Algorithm (ODEA) has been proposed to handle the objective function and the operational constraints simultaneously. Furthermore, the valve point loading effects and transmission lines power loss are also considered for the efficient and effective Power dispatch. The ODEA has unique features such as self tuning of its control parameters, self acceleration and migration for searching. As a result, it requires very minimum executions compared with other searching strategies. The effectiveness of the algorithm has been validated through four standard test cases and compared with previous studies. The proposed method out performs the previous methods.

This paper reports the results of a recent experimental study into the behavior of welded fin-plate connections to both hollow and concrete filled tubular (CFT) columns under shear. Experiments have been performed at both ambient and elevated temperatures with the aid of an electric kiln. The observed failure modes include fracture of the fin plate and tearing out of the tube around the welds. By considering the results of previously published research, the current design method for similar connections under purely tensile load, in CIDECT Guide 9, based on a deformation limit of 3% of the tube width is shown to be inadequate when evaluating the ultimate strength of such connections. By comparing the results from the current test program which failed in the fin-plate with Eurocode guidance for failure of a fin-plate alone under shear and bending load it is shown that the column face influences the overall connection strength regardless of failure mode. Concrete in-fill is observed to significantly increase the strength of connections over empty specimens, and circular column specimens were observed to exhibit greater strength than similarly proportioned square columns. A finite element (F.E.) model, developed using ABAQUS, is presented and validated against the experimental results in order that extensive parametric tests may be subsequently performed. When validating the model against elevated temperature tests it was found that using reduction factors suggested in published research for the specific steel grades improved results over applying the generic Eurocode elevated temperature steel strength reduction factors.

The preservation of historic masonry-arch railway bridges is of paramount importance due to their economic benefits. These bridges which belong to past centuries may nowadays be expected to carry loads higher than those for which they were designed. Such an increase in loads may be because of increase in transportation speed or in the capacity of freight-wagons. Anyway, adequate increase in their load-carrying-capacity through structural-strengthening is required. Moreover, the increasing costs of material/construction urge engineers to optimize their designs to obtain the minimum-cost one. This paper proposes a novel numerical optimization method to minimize the costs associated with strengthening of masonry-arch railway bridges. To do so, the stress/displacement responses of Sahand-Goltappeh bridge are assessed under ordinary train pass as a case study. For this aim, 3D-Finite-Element-Model is created and calibrated using experimental test results. Then, it is strengthened such that following goals are achieved simultaneously: (1) the load-carrying-capacity of the bridge is increased; (2) the structural response of the bridge is reduced to a certain limit; and, (3) the costs needed for such strengthening are minimized as far as possible. The results of the case study demonstrate the applicability/superiority of the proposed approach. Some economic measures are also recommended to further reduce the total strengthening cost.

To secure basic data for intake port design, effects of a port masking on the part load performance were investigated in a 4 valve SI engine. For this purpose, 9 kinds of masking, which have different shapes and masking ratio, are applied to the engine intake system. The characteristics of the performance were estimated through mixture response test at various engine load and speed. The results show that NOx emission, one of indexes for stratification, increases considerably in spite of retarded spark timing due to the stratification which is caused by unequal flow distribution between the two intake ports. The mechanism of stratification by masking is different from axial stratification and the fuel entering through masked port plays a very important role in this stratification process. In conclusion, the port masking method could be easily applied to engine intake system and be very effective for inducing the stratified charging without the change of port design.

본 논문에서는 상호 인증을 위한 알고리즘인 Kerberos를 개선하여 P2P 시스템에 적합한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 Kerberos의 기능은 유지하면서 서버의 부담을 최소화하기 위하여 티켓 승인 서버의 기능을 상대측의 Peer에 부여하였다. 이러한 방법을 이용하여 티켓 승이 서버를 위한 서버의 개수 증가를 막고, 인증을 위한 서버의 기능을 최소화하여 서버의 부담을 최소화하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 상호 인증을 위하여 서버는 최소한의 역활만하고, Peer간에 인증의 역할을 부여하면서도 강력한 상호 인증을 할 수 있다. 또한 P2P 시스템에 맞도록 시간위주의 인증 만료 시간보다 횟수 위주의 인증 제한 값을 주었다. 또한 본 논문에서는 이러한 알고리즘을 적용하여 P2P 인증 시스템을 설계하였다

수명예측을 하기 위한 기초 자료로 ACSR의 기계적 시험의 일종인 인장시험이 필요하다. 이 인장시험의 결과들이 경년 변화에 대해 어떤 상관관계가 있는가를 파악하여 통계적으로 처리함으로써 수명예측을 해 볼 수 있다. 통계적 처리기법으로는 회귀분석 방법이 일반적이다. 본 연구에서는 ACSR의 인장시험을 건전 전선과 인공화염으로 열화시킨 전선과, 산불 화염 의해 수거된 열화된 전선에 대해 실시하였다. 수명예측의 한계는 캐나다 Ontario Hydro Research의 기준인 정격 인장강도의 20[%] 손실점을 택하였다. 본 연구에 이용된 ACSR의 규격은 ACSR $480[mm^2]$을 대상으로 하여 비선형 회귀분석을 실시하여 예측수명을 제시하였다.

비정형 판 부재의 탄소성 좌굴 강도를 평가할 수 있는 새로운 지표를 제안하였다. 부재 경계면에 작용하는 하중 또는 경계면의 변화에 따른 외부일 또는 변형에너지를 부재의 평형 변형경로에 따라 계산하고, 이 에너지의 이차 변분량의 부호가 양에서 음으로 바뀌는 시점을 안정한계로 제안하였다. 판 부재의 단면력을 등분포 또는 선형으로 근사한 상태로 단면력을 사용하여 좌굴한계를 평가하는 현 기법과는 반대로 단면력의 변화가 비선형적인 복잡한 경우에도 간단히 좌굴한계를 평가할 수 있다. 선형탄성 문제에 대해서는 본 기법의 결과와 전통적인 방법이 동일한 결과를 도출한다.

This study presents an experimental and numerically study about the effects of fiber reinforcement ratio on the behavior of concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST) under dynamic impact loading. In literature have examined the behavior of GFRP and FRP wrapped strengthened CFST elements impact loads. However, since the direction of potential impact force isn't too exact, there is always the probability of not being matched the impact force of the area where the reinforced. Therefore, instead of the fiber textile wrapping method which strengthens only a particular area of CFST element, we used fiber-added concrete-filled elements which allow strengthening the whole element. Thus, the effect of fiber-addition in concrete on the behavior of CFST elements under impact loads was examined. To do so, six simply supported CFST beams were constructed with none fiber, 2% fiber and 10% fiber reinforcement ratio on the concrete part of the CFST beam. CFST beams were examined under two different impact loads (75 kg and 225 kg). The impactors hit the beam from a 2000 mm free fall during the experimental study. Numerical models of the specimens were created using ABAQUS finite element software and validated with experimental data. The obtained results such as; mid-span displacement, acceleration, failure modes and energies from experimental and numerical studies were compared and discussed. Furthermore, the Von Misses stress distribution of the CFST beams with different ratio of fiber reinforcements were investigated numerically. To sum up, there is an optimum amount limit of the fiber reinforcement on CFST beams. Up to this limit, the fiber reinforcement increases the structural performances of the beam, beyond that limit the fiber reinforcement decreases the performances of the CFST beam under transverse impact loadings.

수평하중에 대한 말뚝의 휨강도를 증대시키기 위해 얇은 두께의 강관 내부에 PHC말뚝을 합성한 콘크리트 충전 강관(PCFT)말뚝이 개발되었다. PCFT말뚝의 휨강도를 강관말뚝과 비교하기 위하여 직경이 동일한 PCFT말뚝과 강관 말뚝에 대해 휨강도시험을 수행함과 동시에 한계상태설계법으로 P-M 상관도를 작도하였다. 그리고 PCFT말뚝의 하단에 PHC말뚝을 연결한 PCFT 복합말뚝의 수평지지력과 수평거동을 기존의 강관 복합말뚝(HCP) 및 강관말뚝과 비교하기 위하여 총 4본의 시험말뚝을 시공하고 수평재하시험을 수행하였다. 휨강도시험 결과 PCFT말뚝의 휨강도는 두께 12mm의 강관말뚝보다 18.7% 향상되었고, 동일한 휨하중에서 말뚝의 변위량은 강관말뚝보다 50% 감소하였다. 그리고 P-M 상관도로부터 연직하중을 받는 PCFT말뚝은 강관말뚝보다 휨내력이 크게 증가한 반면, 인발하중을 받는 PCFT 말뚝은 강관말뚝보다 휨내력이 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 시험말뚝에 대한 수평재하시험의 결과에 따르면 상부말뚝의 길이가 동일한 경우 PCFT 복합말뚝은 HCP보다 수평지지력이 60.5% 컸고, 두께가 12mm인 강관말뚝보다 35.8% 큰 것으로 나타났다.
