This study proposes an analytic method that determines an optimal arrangement of absorptive materials on an enclosure surface. Under the optimal arrangement, a quiet zone in the enclosure has the minimum $\varepsilon$$\sub$p/ (acoustic potential energy density). The proposed method has been implemented by using a BEM simulation and a genetic algorithm. The BEM simulation evaluates the $\varepsilon$$\sub$p/ under the prescribed arrangement of the absorptive materials. The genetic algorithm searches the optimal arrangement by referring the ep evaluated from the BEM simulation. In the BEM simulation, the absorptive material arrangement is expressed as a vector, which is denoted as in absorptive material arrangement (AMA) vector. Besides, an admittance vector of which elements are admittances of available absorptive materials and an AMA matrix that transforms the admittance vector into the AMA vector are defined. The AMA matrix is also used as a chromosome in the genetic algorithm so that it functions to relate the BEM simulation to the genetic algorithm. As a verification example, the proposed method is applied to make the quiet zone in a parallelepiped enclosure.

This paper presents a curvature method for analysis of beam-columns with different materials and arbitrary cross-section shapes and subjected to combined biaxial moments and axial load. Both material and geometric nonlinearities (the p-delta effect in this case) were incorporated. The proposed method considers biaxial curvatures and uniform normal strains of discrete cross-sections of beam-columns as basic unknowns, and seeks for a solution of the column deflection curve that satisfies force equilibrium conditions. A piecewise representation of the beam-column deflection curve is constructed based on the curvatures and angles of rotation of the segmented cross-sections. The resulting bending moments were evaluated based on the deformed column shape and the axial load. The moment curvature relationship and the beam-column deflection calculation are presented in matrix form and the Newton-Raphson method is employed to ensure fast and stable convergence. Comparison with results of analytic solutions and eccentric compression tests of wood beam-columns implies that this method is reliable and effective for beam-columns subjected to eccentric compression load, lateral bracings and complex boundary conditions.

This paper presents a coupling scheme, which couples an analytical solution and the standard finite element, for analyzing the electromagnetic fields. The former is a solution of the magnetic field in free space, i.e., the outer region of boundary, and the latter represents the system with source currents and magnetic materials in the inner region of boundary. The proposed method retains the sparsity and symmetry of the final system matrix, the merits of the standard FEM. To verify the usefulness of the proposed algorithm, an example which can be solved analytically is chosen and analyzed. The results are compared with those of the standard FEM and the analytic solutions.

Improving over a previous study [1], this paper provides a Monte Carlo method for the heat conduction analysis of problems with complicated geometry (such as a pebble with dispersed fuel particles). The method is based on the theoretical results of asymptotic analysis of neutron transport equation. The improved method uses an appropriate boundary layer correction (with extrapolation thickness) and a scaling factor, rendering the problem more diffusive and thus obtaining a heat conduction solution. Monte Carlo results are obtained for the randomly distributed fuel particles of a pebble, providing realistic temperature distributions (showing the kernel and graphite-matrix temperatures distinctly). The volumetric analytic solution commonly used in the literature is shown to predict lower temperatures than those of the Monte Carlo results provided in this paper.

This paper deals with consciousn~s structure by means of human subjective judgement. Fuzzy structural modeling which is a modeling method for consciousness structure have the large number of pairwise comparigon by human subjective judgement, is difficplt to check the consistency index which denotes the precision for human judgement. To improve these points, we set the structure of consciousness by fuzzy structural modeling method using the concept of pairwise compariqon matrix in AHP. The efficiency of this method is showed by means of the consciousness structure graph to the qyality system construction.

Generation companies(Genco) submit the supply functions as a bidding function to a bid market in a competitive electricity market. The profits of Gencos vary in accordance with the bid functions, so the selection of a bidding function plays a key role in increasing their profits. In order to get a profitable bidding function which is usually linear, it is required to modify adequately the intersection and the slope of a linear supply function. This paper presents an analysis of the selection of the supply function from the viewpoint of Nash equilibrium(NE). Four types of bidding function parameters are used for analizing the electricity market. The competition of selecting bidding parameters is modeled as two level games in this research. One is a subgame where a certain type of parameters is given and the players compete to select values of the underlying parameters. The other is an overall game where the players compete to select a profitable type among the four types of parameters. The NEs in both games are computed by an using analytic method and a payoff matrix method. It is verified in case studies for the NE of overall game to satisfy the equilibrium condition.

Three kinds of high-speed signaling methods for synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) bus interface channels (PC-133, Direct-Rambus, and SSTL-2) were analyzed in terms of the timing budget and the physical transmission characteristics. To analyze the SDRAM bus interface channels, loss mechanisms and the effective characteristic impedance method were reviewed and the ABCD matrix method was proposed as an analytic and yet accurate method. SPICE simulations were done to get the AC responses and the eye patterns of the three SDRAM bus interface channels for performance comparisons. Recent progress and future trend for SDRAM bus interface standards were reviewed.

According to NSSC Notice No. 2021-10, safety analysis needs to be introduced in the decommissioning plan. Public and occupational dose analyses should be conducted, specifically for unexpected radiological accidents. Herein, based on the risk matrix and analytic hierarchy process, the method of selecting accident scenarios during the decommissioning of nuclear power plants has been proposed. During decommissioning, the generated spent resin exhibits relatively higher activity than other generated wastes. When accidents occur, the release fraction varies depending on the conditioning method of radioactive waste and type of radioactive nuclides or accidents. Occupational dose analyses for 2 (fire and drop) among 11 accident scenarios have been performed. The radiation doses of the additional exposures caused by the fire and drop accidents are 1.67 and 4.77 mSv, respectively.

In this paper we propose an approximate method to estimate the cell loss probability(CLP) due to buffer overflow in ATM networks. The main idea is to relate the buffer capacity with the CLP target in explicit formula by using the approximate upper bound for the tail distribution of a queue. The significance of the proposition lies in the fact that we can obtain the expected CLP by using only the source traffic data represented by mean rate and its variance. To that purpose we consider the problem of estimating the cell loss measures form the statistical viewpoint such that the probability of cell loss due to buffer overflow does not exceed a target value. In obtaining the exact solution we use a typical matrix analytic method for GI/D/1B queue where B is the queue size. Finally, in order to investigate the accuracy of the result, we present both the approximate and exact results of the numerical computation and give some discussion.

This paper presents a very unique and analytic method for scheduling messages routed through a non-blocking switch. The laxities of schedulable messages are decomposed and the laxity table is rearranged so that the packets to be scheduled in the next time instance are placed in the diagonal of the traffic matrix. And the modified MLF-SDR algorithm is performed on the table. We present some examples and simulation results which show that the success rate is very high, even when the size of which is large.
