The use of composite semi-rigid connections is not fully exploited, in spite of its great number of advantages. Composite semi-rigid connections may lead to an optimal moment distribution that will render lighter structures. Furthermore, using the appropriate semi-rigid connection design, the stability of the frames against lateral loads may entirely rely on the joint stiffness, thus avoiding bracing systems and permitting more diaphanous designs. Although modern codes, such as the Eurocode 4 (EC4), propose thorough methods of analysis they do not provide enough insight and simplicity from the design point of view. The purpose of this paper is to introduce practical and efficient methods of analysis that will facilitate the work of a structural analyst starting from the global analysis of the composite frame and ending on the final connection design. A key aspect is the definition of the stiffness and strength of the connections that will lead to an optimal moment distribution in the composite beams. Two examples are presented in order to clarify the application of the proposed methods and to demonstrate the advantages of the semi-rigid composite design with respect to the alternative pinned and rigid ones. The final aim of the paper is to stimulate and encourage the designer on the use of composite semi-rigid structures.

본 논문에서는 주파수 도약 시스템에 사용될 짧은 길이의 도약 수열의 생성법 세가지를 제안한다. 우선, 기존에 알려져 있는 한개 일치수열과 다상 멱 잉여류 수열의 생성법에 대해 설명하고, 한개 일치수열의 변형으로 얻어진 생성법 하나와 다상 멱 잉여류 수열을 이용한 방법 두개를 제안한다. 다상 멱 잉여류 수열에서 '최적 지움위치'를 지운 수열이 제안된 세가지 수열들 중에서 가장 좋은 상관특성을 가지고, 그 다음은 첫번째 위치 지운 수열, 한개 일치 수열의 변형 수열 순으로 상관특성이 좋음을 확인한다. 또한 이들 세 수열이 심볼이 균형성이 우수하고 쉽게 구현될 수 있음을 설명한다.

2차 유동 분사에 의한 추력 방향 제어 방법은 기계적인 방법에 비해 복잡한 기계적 작동장치가 배제됨으로 무게를 줄일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 압축성 유동 해석을 위해 개발한 코드를 이용하여 SITVC 의 최적 작동 조건을 구하였다. 수치 실험은 2차원 초음속 수축-팽창 노즐 유동에서 2차 유동의 분사 위치, 분사 유량 및 분사 각도 등이 추력 방향에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 유동 해석 결과 2차 유동의 분사 위치는 생성된 경사 충격파가 노즐 출구까지 분포되는 지점이 최대 전향각과 횡추력을 가지는 분사 위치임을 알 수 있었다.

최근의 고성능 컴퓨팅 플랫폼들은 공유 메모리 다중 프로세서(SMP: Shared Memory Multiprocessor) 시스템, 대규모 병렬 프로세서 (Massively Parallel Processor) 시스템, 여러 개의 컴퓨팅 노드들을 연결한 클러스터(Cluster) 시스템 등으로 분류된다. 이러한 고성능 컴퓨팅 시스템들은 높은 수준의 컴퓨팅 성능을 요구하는 과학 기술용 응용 프로그램들을 위하여 사용된다. 이러한 응용 프로그램들의 실행시 최적의 성능을 얻기 위해서는 적절한 컴퓨팅 플랫폼과 프로그래밍 방식의 선택이 중요하다. 본 연구 논문에서는 여러 방식의 병렬 프로그래밍 모델을 사용하여 개발된 SPEC HPC2002 벤치마크 suite을 위한 최적의 컴퓨팅 플랫폼과 프로그래밍 모델을 그들의 성능 분석 및 평가 작업을 통하여 찾아간다.

As a method of structural optimization, a practical algorithm based on the Taguchi method is developed. The Taguchi method is applied iteratively updating the level values of design variables. The design region is translated or reduced during optimization and by appropriate choice of reduction factor and initial level intervals, a near-optimum solution can be found very efficiently. To treat inequality constraints, a variable penalty method is utilized. A software system named 'DS/Taguchi' is developed by integrating the proposed algorithm and commercial finite element analysis codes on the parametric CAD platform. Two examples are taken to examine the performance of the proposed algorithm and the developed software system.

Volatility plays a crucial role in theory and applications of asset pricing, optimal portfolio allocation, and risk management. This paper proposes a combined model of autoregressive moving average (ARFIMA), generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GRACH), and skewed-t error distribution to accommodate important features of volatility data; long memory, heteroscedasticity, and asymmetric error distribution. A fully Bayesian approach is proposed to estimate the parameters of the model simultaneously, which yields parameter estimates satisfying necessary constraints in the model. The approach can be easily implemented using a free and user-friendly software JAGS to generate Markov chain Monte Carlo samples from the joint posterior distribution of the parameters. The method is illustrated by using a daily volatility index from Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). JAGS codes for model specification is provided in the Appendix.

In this study a stochastic approach for linear viscous dampers design adopted for seismic protection of buildings is developed. Devices optimal placement into the main structure and their mechanical parameters are attained by means of a reliability-based optimum design criterion, in which an objective function (O.F.) is minimized, subject to a stochastic constraint. The seismic input is modelled by a non stationary modulated Kanai Tajimi filtered stochastic process. Building is represented by means of a plane shear type frame model. The selected criterion for the optimization searches the minimum of the O.F., here assumed to be the cost of the seismic protection, i.e., assumed proportional to the sum of added dampings of each device. The stochastic constraint limits a suitable approximated measure of the structure failure probability, here associated to the maximum interstorey drift crossing over a given threshold limit, related, according with modern Technical Codes, to the required damage control.

This paper describes a multi-mode LDPC decoder which supports 19 block lengths and 6 code rates of Quasi-Cyclic LDPC code for Mobile WiMAX system. To achieve an efficient implementation of 114 operation modes, some design optimizations are considered including block-serial layered decoding scheme, a memory reduction technique based on the min-sum decoding algorithm and a novel method for generating the cyclic shift values of parity check matrix. From fixed-point simulations, decoding performance and optimal hardware parameters are analyzed. The designed LDPC decoder is verified by FPGA implementation, and synthesized with a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS cell library. It has 380,000 gates and 52,992 bits RAM, and the estimated throughput is about 164 ~ 222 Mbps at 56 MHz@1.8 V.

Conventional multilayer feedforward artificial neural networks are very effective in dealing with spatial problems. To deal with problems with time dependency, some kinds of memory have to be built in the processing algorithm. In this paper we show how the newly proposed Serial Input Neuron (SIN) convolutional decoders can be derived. As an example, we derive the SIN decoder for \ulcornerrate code with constraint length 3. The SIN is tested in Gaussian channel and the results are compared to the results of the optimal Viterbi decoder. A SIN approach to decode convolutional codes is presented. No supervision is required. The decoder lends itself to pleasing implementations in hardware and processing...

One feature of a computer simulation experiment, different from a physical experiment, is that the output is often deterministic. Moreover the codes are computationally very expensive to run. This paper deals with the design and analysis of computer experiments(DACE) which is a relatively new statistical research area. We model the response of computer experiments as the realization of a stochastic process. This approach is basically the same as using a spatial linear model. Applications to the optimal mechanical designing and model calibration problems are illustrated. Algorithms for selecting the best spatial linear model are also proposed.
