Prefab members have attracted attention because they can be mass-produced in factories through smart construction technology. For prefab prestressed concrete girders, it is important to manage the shapes of the girders properly from production to the pre-installation stage for consistency with the prefab floor plate during the erection process. This paper presents a camber reconstruction method using collocated strain measurements from the top and bottom of the prefab girder. In particular, the camber reconstruction method is applied to measured strain data in which the time-dependent behavior of concrete is considered after the introduction of prestress. Through Monte Carlo numerical simulations, the statistical accuracy of the reconstructed camber for a limited number of sensors, measurement errors, and nonlinear time-dependent behaviors are analyzed and validated.

The numerical experiment has been conducted to investigate the unsteady shock wave reflecting phenomena. The cell-vertex finite-volume, Roe's upwind flux difference splitting method with unstructured grid is implemented to solve unsteady Euler equations. The $4^{th}$-order Runge-Kutta method is applied for time integration. A linear reconstruction of the flux vector using the least-square method is applied to obtain the $2^{nd}$-order accuracy for the spatial derivatives. For a better resolution of the shock wave and slipline, the dynamic grid adaptation technique is adopted. The new concept of grid adaptation technique, which is much simpler than that of conventional techniques, is introduced for the current study. Three error indicators (divergence and curl of velocity, and gradient of density) are used for the grid adaptation procedure. Considering the quality of the solution and the numerical efficiency, the grid adaptation procedure was updated up to $2^{nd}$ level at every 20 time steps. For the convenience of comparison with other experimental and analytical results, the case of interaction between the straight incoming shock wave and a sharp wedge is simulated for various flow conditions. The numerical results show good agreement with other experimental and analytical results, in the shock wave reflecting structure, slipline, and the trajectory of the triple points. Some critical cases show disagreement with the analytical results, but these cases also have been proven to show hysteresis phenomena.

We develop in this work a new well-balanced preserving-positivity path-conservative central-upwind scheme for Saint-Venant-Exner (SVE) model. The SVE system (SVEs) under some considerations, is a nonconservative hyperbolic system of nonlinear partial differential equations. This model is widely used in coastal engineering to simulate the interaction of fluid flow with sediment beds. It is well known that SVEs requires a robust treatment of nonconservative terms. Some efficient numerical schemes have been proposed to overcome the difficulties related to these terms. However, the main drawbacks of these schemes are what follows: (i) Lack of robustness, (ii) Generation of non-physical diffusions, (iii) Presence of instabilities within numerical solutions. This collection of drawbacks weakens the efficiency of most numerical methods proposed in the literature. To overcome these drawbacks a reformulation of the central-upwind scheme for SVEs (CU-SVEs for short) in a path-conservative version is presented in this work. We first develop a finite-volume method of the first order and then extend it to the second order via the averaging essentially non oscillatory (AENO) framework. Our numerical approach is shown to be well-balanced positivity-preserving and shock-capturing. The resulting scheme could be seen as a predictor-corrector method. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed scheme are assessed through a carefully selected suite of tests.

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) problem with anisotropic anomalous region is formulated in a few different ways using boundary integral operators. The Frechet derivative of Neumann-to-Dirichlet map is computed also by using boundary integral operators and the boundary of the anomalous region is approximated by trigonometric expansion with Lagrangian basis. The numerical reconstruction is done in case that the conductivity of the anomalous region is isotropic.

In this paper, using the principle of duality between the spatial and spectral domain, we proposed a new microwave imaging technique of a coherent tomographic formulation in the spatial domain and reconstructed the image of dielectric cylinder through simulation and experiment. The numerical and experimental results for the variety o object size, relative dielectric constant have shown the limitation of Born approximation to be used and the effect of retrieved images for various signal bandwidth.

In this study, the 0-th order diffraction could be efficiently removed with the obtained data for one hologram using the numerical reconstruction method. This method has a reduced data acquisition and processing time compared with the existing method wherein the data for two or more phase holograms are obtained for regeneration, and efficiently eliminates the 0-th order diffraction.

In this paper, the preconditioned multistage time stepping methods which are popular multigrid smoothers is implemented for the compressible Navier-Stokes calculation with full-coarsening multigrid method. The convergence characteristic of the point-Jacobi and Alternating direction line Jacobi(DDADI) preconditioners are studied. The performance of 2nd order upwind numerical fluxes such as 2nd order upwind TVD scheme and MUSCL-type linear reconstruction scheme are compared in the inviscid and viscous turbulent flow caculations.

A volume capturing method using unstructured grid system for numerical analysis of multiphase flows is introduced in the present paper. This method uses an interface capturing method (CICSAM) in a volume of fluid(VOF) scheme for phase interface capturing. The novelty of CICSAM lies in the adaptive combination of high resolution discretization scheme which ensures the preservation of the sharpness and shape of the interface while retaining boundedness of the field, and no explicit interface reconstruction which is perceived to be difficult to implement on unstructured grid system. Several typical test cases for multiphase flows are presented, which are simulated by an in-house solution code(PowerCFD). This code employs an unstructured cell-centered method based on a conservative pressure-based finite-volume method with CICSAM. It is found that the present method simulates efficiently and accurately complex free surface flows such as multiphase flows.

On-demand routing protocol in ad hoc network is that establishes a route to a destination node only when it is required by a source node. But, it is necessary to reestablish a new route when an active route breaks down. The reconstruction process establishes another route by flooding messages from the source to the destination, cause not only heavy traffic but also long delays in route discovery. A good method for analyzing performance of protocols is important for deriving better systems. In this paper, we suggest the numerical formulas of a representative on-demand routing protocol AODV, ARMP, and RRAODV to estimate the performance of these routing protocols for analyzing the performance of these protocols. The proposed analytical models are very simple and straightforward. The results of analysis show good agreement with the results of computer simulations.

The model updating problems, which are to find the optimal approximation to the discrete quadratic model obtained by the finite element method, are critically important to the vibration analysis. In this paper, the structured model updating problem is considered, where the coefficient matrices are required to be symmetric and positive semidefinite, represent the interconnectivity of elements in the physical configuration and minimize the dynamics equations, and furthermore, due to the physical feasibility, the physical parameters should be positive. To the best of our knowledge, the model updating problem involving all these constraints has not been proposed in the existed literature. In this paper, based on the semidefinite programming technique, we design a general-purpose numerical algorithm for solving the structured model updating problems with incomplete measured data and present some numerical results to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
