This paper studies if the accuracies of mortality models (LC model vs. 4-parametric model) are aggravated if a mortality structure changes due to the impact of COVID-19. LC model (LCM) uses dimension reduction for fitting to the log mortality matrix so that the performance of the dimension reduction method may not be good when the matrix structure changes. On the other hand, 4-parametric factor model (4-PFM) is designed to use factors for fitting to log mortality data by age groups so that it would be less affected by the change of the mortality structure. In fact, the forecast accuracies of LCM are better than those of 4-PFM when life-tables are used whereas those of 4-PFM are better when the mortality structure changes. Thus this result shows that 4-PFM is more reliable in performance to the structural changes of the mortality. To support the accuracy changes of LCM the functional aspect is explained by computing eigenvalues produced by singular vector decomposition

Penalized least squares methods are important tools to simultaneously select variables and estimate parameters in linear regression. The penalized maximum likelihood can also be used for the same purpose assuming that the error distribution falls in a certain parametric family of distributions. However, the use of a certain parametric family can suffer a misspecification problem which undermines the estimation accuracy. To give sufficient flexibility to the error distribution, we propose to use the symmetric log-concave error distribution with LASSO penalty. A feasible algorithm to estimate both nonparametric and parametric components in the proposed model is provided. Some numerical studies are also presented showing that the proposed method produces more efficient estimators than some existing methods with similar variable selection performance.

Perfobond rib connectors are widely used in composite structures to achieve the composite action between the steel and the concrete, and empirical expressions for their strength and secant stiffness have been obtained by numerical simulations or push-out tests. Since perfobond connections are generally in an elastic state in the service process and the structural analysis are always based on the elastic properties of the members, the secant stiffness is not applicable for the normal structural analysis. However, the tangent stiffness of perfobond connections has not been introduced in previous studies. Moreover, the perfobond connections are bearing tension and shear force simultaneously when the composite beams subjected to torque or local loads, but the current studies fail to arrive at the elastic stiffness considering the combined effects. To resolve these discrepancies, this paper investigates the initial elastic stiffness of perfobond connections under combined forces. The calculation method for the elastic stiffness of perfobond connections is analyzed, and the contributions of the perfobond rib, the perforating rebar and the concrete dowel are investigated. A finite element method was verified with a high value of correlation for the test results. Afterwards, parametric studies are carried out using the reliable finite element analysis to explore the trends of several factors. Empirical equations for predicting the initial elastic stiffness of perfobond connections are proposed by the numerical regression of the data extracted by parametric studies. The equations agree well with finite element analysis and test results, which indicates that the proposed empirical equations reflect a high accuracy for predicting the initial elastic stiffness of perfobond connections.

보(Beam)의 횡-비틀림 좌굴(Lateral-Torsional Buckling)에 대한 저항능력을 향상시키기 위해 횡-브레이싱(Lateral Bracing)을 실제 설계에 오랫동안 사용해 왔으나, 횡-브레이싱의 성능에 중요한 인자들은 아직 설계공식에 많이 포함되어 있지 않다. 해석적 모델을 사용하여 아래와 같은 몇개의 인자들에 대한 Parametric Study를 반복하중을 받는 짧은 보에 적용하여 그 영향들을 고찰하고자 한다 : 브레이스의 보 길이 방향의 위치, 브레이스의 보의 절단중심에 대한 높이, 브레이스의 강도와 강성. 일단고정 타단가중 지반(Propped Cantilever)보를 이용하여 Parametric Study를 수행하고, 또한 구조물 전체의 좌굴현상을 잘 포착하기 위해 보와 브레이스에 기하학적 (완전) 비선형의 보 모델을 사용한다. 여기에서 이상화된 브레이스는 보 단면의 횡방향의 이동은 구속하지만 회전은 자유롭게 하도록 한다. 또한 금속의 주기적 소성(Cyclic Plasticity)거동을 보다 잘 나타내기 위해 다축 주기적 소성 모델을 Consistent Return Mapping Algorithm과 결합시켜 적용한다.

진동해머에 의해 시공되는 말뚝의 해석기법을 개발하고 매개변수연구를 수행하여 개발된 해석기법의 신뢰성을 평가해보았다. 편심모멘트와 진동수에 따른 매개변수해석을 통해 구한 가속도를 비교분석해 본 결과 최대가속도의 크기는 대략적으로 편심모멘트에 비례하였으며 진동수의 제곱에 비례하였다. 또한 변위진폭은 편심모멘트에 비례하는 결과를 나타내었고 진동수에는 거의 영향을 받지 않았는데 이러한 경향은 공운전시의 거동특성과 유사하다. 매개변수해석을 통해 구한 동적 하중전이곡선을 비교해 볼 때 편심모멘트와 진동수의 크기에 관계없이 최대 동적단위선단저항력의 크기는 동일하였으며 최대 동적단위주면마찰력의 크기는 편심모멘트에 영향을 받으나 진동수와는 무관하였다. 매개변수해석결과를 종합적으로 비교분석해 볼 때 개발된 해석기법은 합리적인 해석결과를 보인다고 볼 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to develop a reasonable design for transverse confinement reinforcement considering ductility and required transverse confinement reinforcement of RC bridge columns. In order to develop relationships between the curvature ductility and required transverse confinement reinforcement for design purpose, the analysis using the computer program NARCC have been carried out for parametric studies. Based on the results from the parametric studies, an equation for calculating the required transverse confinement reinforcement based on ductility demand was developed for seismic design of RC bridge columns. The equations proposed by this study will provide more reasonable and more effective design guidelines for performance-based seismic design of RC bridge columns.

The flexural ductility capacity of reinforced concrete columns can be expressed either in terms of curvature ductility or displacement ductility. To evaluate ductility capacity of reinforced concrete columns, analytical models and a non-linear analysis program, NARCC have been developed, which is applicable to the RC columns subjected to seismic loading. The analytical results by using computer program NARCC are in good agreement with the test results. In order to develop relationships between the curvature ductility and the displacement ductility, the analysis for total 21,600 RC circular columns using the computer program NARCC have been carried out for parametric studies. Based on the results from the parametric studies, a correlation equation between the curvature ductility and the displacement ductility was developed.

Relations of each factor affected by emissions and the prediction of performance have been analyzed numerically by cycle simulation in the Spark Ignition Engine. Through theoretical analysis and experiments, the results are obtained as below. The calculated results and the experimental ones are almost highly agreeable on cycle simulation model, exhaust gas analysis and efficiency for processes in cylinder. Therefore this model is proved appropriate and can be useful for optimum design of Spark Ignition Engines on parametric studies. It is reaffirmed that the Wiebe's function is suitable for predicting Combustion Ration in Spark Ignition Engines. On parametric studies, it is found that optimum conditions whose density of emissions are lower and efficiency is maximum within propriety value are crankangle ATDC $15^\circ-20^\circ$, 2400 rpm. A/F=16 in this experiment.

A brief review of the research works on ground vibrations caused by trains moving in underground tunnels is first given. Then, the finite/infinite element approach for simulating the soil-tunnel interaction system with semi-infinite domain is summarized. The tunnel is assumed to be embedded in a homogeneous half-space or stratified soil medium. The train moving underground is modeled as an infinite harmonic line load. Factors considered in the parametric studies include the soil stratum depth, damping ratio and shear modulus of the soil with or without tunnel, and the thickness of the tunnel lining. As far as ground vibration is concerned, the existence of a concrete tunnel may somewhat compensate for the loss due to excavation of the tunnel. For a soil stratum resting on a bedrock, the resonance peak and frequency of the ground vibrations caused by the underground load can be rather accurately predicted by ignoring the existence of the tunnel. Other important findings drawn from the parametric studies are given in the conclusion.

A compact size high voltage pulse generator with nanosecond rise time has been designed and investigated experimentally. The inductance of a pulse generator can be reduced by fixing the Marx generator and pulse forming network components into a single cylindrical unit. As a result, nanosecond rise time about $8{\sim}10[ns]$ and pulse width of several hundred [ns] can be obtained from a modified Marx pulse generator. And parametric studies showed that the rise time of the output pulse was depended little on the change of the load resistance and the charging capacitance while, the pulse width of the output pulse was depended greatly upon the change of the load resistance and the charging capacitance. The theoretical showed the possibility to design the laboratory-size pulse generator very fast rising time and a proper pulse width by minimizing stray inductance and varying resistance and capacitance.
