Optimal sensor placement techniques play a significant role in enhancing the quality of modal data during the vibration based health monitoring of civil structures, where many degrees of freedom are available despite a limited number of sensors. The literature has shown a shift in the trends for solving such problems, from expansion or elimination approach to the employment of heuristic algorithms. Although these heuristic algorithms are capable of providing a global optimal solution, their greatest drawback is the requirement of high computational effort. Because a highly efficient optimisation method is crucial for better accuracy and wider use, this paper presents an improved simulated annealing (SA) algorithm to solve the sensor placement problem. The algorithm is developed based on the sensor locations' coordinate system to allow for the searching in additional dimensions and to increase SA's random search performance while minimising the computation efforts. The proposed method is tested on a numerical slab model that consists of two hundred sensor location candidates using three types of objective functions; the determinant of the Fisher information matrix (FIM), modal assurance criterion (MAC), and mean square error (MSE) of mode shapes. Detailed study on the effects of the sensor numbers and cooling factors on the performance of the algorithm are also investigated. The results indicate that the proposed method outperforms conventional SA and Genetic Algorithm (GA) in the search for optimal sensor placement.

PCB Power-Bus (comprising power/ground planes) impedance and fields are evaluated by an efficient series expansion method that is suggested in this paper. It is used to investigate the structure's radiated emission(RE) levels and find acceptable ways of loading the power/ground planes such as decoupling capcitor(DeCap)s, balanced feeding and slits, in order to reduce the interferences. Also, the calculations and measurements of a proposed geometry are verified by vector fitting as a analysis model to check the behavior of the slit.

It is well known that wall impedance essentially determines how sound wave transmits from one place to another. The wall impedance is related with its dynamic properties : for example, the mass, stiffness, and damping characteristics. It is noteworthy, however, that the wall impedance is also function of spatial characteristics of two spaces that is separated by the wall. This is often referred that the wall is not locally reacting. In this paper, we have attempted to see how the acoustic characteristics of the two spaces is affected by various structure parameters such as density, applied tension, and a normalized length of the wall. Calculations are conducted for two different modally reacting boundary conditions by modal expansion method. The variation of the Helmholtz mode and the structural-dominated mode are analyzed as the structure parameters vary. The displacement distribution of the structure, pressure and active intensity of the inside and outside cavity are presented at the Helmholtz mode and the structure-dominated mode. It is shown that the frequency characteristics are governed by both structure-and fluid-dominated mode. The results exhibit that the density of the structure is the most sensitive design parameter on the frequency characteristics for the coupling system as we could imagine in the beginning. The Helmholtz mode frequency decrease as density increases. However. it increases as applied tension and an opening size increase. The bandwidth of the Helmholtz mode is mainly affected by density of the structure and its opening size.

The updated finite element model of K$\ddot{o}$m$\ddot{u}$rhan Highway Bridge on the Firat River located on the $51^{st}$ km of Elazi$\breve{g}$-Malatya highway is obtained by using analytical and experimental results. The 2D and 3D finite element model of the bridge is created by using SAP2000 structural analyses software, and the dynamic characteristics of the bridge are determined analytically. The experimental measurements are carried out by Operational Modal Analysis Method under traffic induced vibrations and the dynamic characteristics are obtained experimentally. The vibration data are gathered from the both box girder and the deck of the bridge, separately. Due to the expansion joint in the middle of the bridge, special measurement points are selected when experimental test setups constitute. Measurement duration, frequency span and effective mode number are determined by considering similar studies in literature. The Peak Picking method in the frequency domain is used in the modal identification. At the end of the study, analytical and experimental dynamic characteristic are compared with each other and the finite element model of the bridge is updated by changing some uncertain parameters such as material properties and boundary conditions. Maximum differences between the natural frequencies are reduced from 10% to 2%, and a good agreement is found between natural frequencies and mode shapes after model updating.

The continuous circular cylindrical shells are widely used for the high performance structures of aircraft, spacecraft, missile, nuclear fuel rod shell etc.. In this paper, a method for the free vibration analysis of the continuous circular cylindrical shells with the multiple simple supports is developed by using the receptance method. With this method, the vibrational characteristics of the continuous system is analyzed by considering as a combined structure. The system receptance is also derided by the application of the equilibrium of forces and the continuity of displacements at the support points. The natural frequencies and mode shapes are calculated numerically and they are compared with the FEM results to improve the reliability of analytical solution. Numerical results on the 4-equal-span continuous circular cylindrical shell are presented in this paper.

An analytical method to estimate the coupled frequencies of the circular plate submerged in fluid is developed using the finite Fourier-Bessel series expansion and Rayleigh-Ritz method. To verify the validity of the analytical method developed, finite element method is used and the frequency comparisons between them are found to be in good agreement. For the perforated plate submerged in fluid, it is almost impossible to develop a finite element model due to the necessity of the fine meshing of the plate and the fluid at the same time. This necessitates the use of solid plate with equivalent material properties. Unfortunately the effective elastic constants suggested by the ASME code are found to be not valid for the modal analysis. Therefore in this study the equivalent material properties of perforated plate are suggested by performing several finite element analyses with respect to the ligament efficiencies.

교통망에서 출발지와 도착지를 연결하는 최적경로탐색(Optimum Shortest Path)의 기준은 통행시간, 통행비용, 통행요금, 통행거리 등 복수의 기준에서 단일기준(Single Attribute Objective)을 선정하여 선정된 기준에 대하여 최소화되는 경로를 탐색하는 것을 의미하며 최적경로 탐색기법으로 탐색이 가능하다. 다목적 경로탐색(Multi-Objective Shortest Paths)에서는 이들 복수의 기준 (Multi-Objective)을 고려하여 경로를 탐색한다. 최근까지 다목적경로탐색에 대한 연구는 대부분 단일의 교통수단만으로 구성된 교통망에 대한 가정을 기반으로 이루어졌으며, 다수의 교통수단이 혼재된 교통망(Multi-Modal Transportation Network)에서 다목적경로탐색에 대한 연구는 환승에 대한 문제를 최적해법 차원에서 고려하지 않았으며, 교통정보 분야에서 일반적으로 적용되는 동적계획법(Dynamic Programming)에 기반한 알고리즘에 대한 연구는 다수단교통망에서 다목적경로탐색 문제에서 검토되지 않았다. 본 연구는 다수단교통망에서 다목적경로탐색 문제에서 최적 해를 도출하기 위한 동적계획법 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 Skriver & Andersen (2000)이 제시한 2기준 노드표지갱신 알고리즘을 기반으로 네트워크의 확장없이 수단 간의 환승이 반영되도록 2기준 이상의 다기준 링크표지갱신 알고리즘으로 개발하는 방안으로 확대한다. 본 연구는 다기준 링크표지가 다수단 교통망에 적용했다는 점 이외에, 출발지에서 모든 링크까지 비지배경로를 탐색하는 과정이 효율적으로 이루어지도록 출발지에서 개별 링크까지의 비지배경로/트리(Path/Tree) 집합을 표지처럼 활용하였다. 다수단교통망에서 다목적경로탐색문제에 적합한 도시부의 대중교통망에 한정하여 경로탐색속성을 환승과 링크주행속성으로 구분하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 알고리즘의 계산과정을 소규모 복합대중교통망을 통해 검증하였다.

This paper explains a general coupling system in terms of the system parameters. impedance of a cavity or mobility of a structure. To easily access the mechanism of the structural-acoustic coupled system, a simple expression is derived. A general coupled equation is also derived of a general coupled problem constituted a flexible structure and an opening boundary in terms of vector and matrix notation, and is analyzed the coupling phenomena using the understanding acquired simple coupled system. The paper shows that the general coupled equation is expanded version of the simple coupled equation by some limiting checks. The paper also shows that the degree of coupling is proportioned to a stiffness of the acoustic system and a modal coupling coefficient, but is in inverse proportion to a mass of the structural system and the difference of the excitation frequency and resonant frequency of the acoustic or structural system.

본 논문은 유사변환기법을 이용한 새로운 3차원 연직 모우드 전개 모델의 개발에 대하여 기술한다. 기본방정식을 External 모우드와 Internal 모우드로 분리시킨 다음 Internal 모우드식에 Galerkin 방법을 적용하고 구성되는 행열방정식에 유사변환기법을 적용, 기저함수의 계수 값을 구하였다. 최종 얻어지는 기저함수의 계수 값은 마찰장을 제외하고는 비연계되어 시간 간격의 제약을 거의 받지않고 연직 구조를 구할 수 있기 때문에 경제성면에서 탁월하다. 수립된 모델은 어떤 기저함수라도 적용 가능하나 현 단계에서는 Chebyshev 다항식함수가 사용되었으며, 바람응력은 일정한 것으로 가정하였다. 모델 테스트로서 정상상태의 균일한 바람응력이 가해지는 장방형 Basin에 적용하여 모델의 적용 가능성을 검증하였다.
