  • This research explores a new finite element model for the free vibration analysis of bi-directional functionally graded (BDFG) beams. The model is based on an efficient higher-order shear deformation beam theory that incorporates a trigonometric warping function for both transverse shear deformation and stress to guarantee traction-free boundary conditions without the necessity of shear correction factors. The proposed two-node beam element has three degrees of freedom per node, and the inter-element continuity is retained using both C1 and C0 continuities for kinematics variables. In addition, the mechanical properties of the (BDFG) beam vary gradually and smoothly in both the in-plane and out-of-plane beam's directions according to an exponential power-law distribution. The highly elevated performance of the developed model is shown by comparing it to conceptual frameworks and solution procedures. Detailed numerical investigations are also conducted to examine the impact of boundary conditions, the bi-directional gradient indices, and the slenderness ratio on the free vibration response of BDFG beams. The suggested finite element beam model is an excellent potential tool for the design and the mechanical behavior estimation of BDFG structures.

  • This paper presents a discrete adaptive observer for MIMO system of an IM model in DQ reference model. The IM model in the stationary frame is discretized and it is transformed into the canonical observer form. The unknown parameter is choosen as rotor speed. The adaptive law for parameter adjustment is obtained as a set of recursive equations which are derived by utilizing an exponentially weighted normalized least-square method. The proposed adaptive observer converges rapidly and is also shown to track time-varying plant parameter quickly. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated by computer simulation.

  • The wind power plants were installed in many places because of the low climate changing effects since 2000. Generally, the wind power plants located in the seaside and the mountainous area and the heights of the windmills are about 40 m~140 m above the ground level. So the noises emitted from the wind power plants propagate far away compared with other environment noise sources like trains and cars noise. Because of these reasons, the noise emitted from the wind power plant is easy to cause the additional social problems like as noise complaints. Under the situation, the ministry of environment has established the guideline to evaluate the environmental effects for the wind power plant. According to the guideline, the noise of the wind power plant has to meet 55 dB(A) at daytime and 45 dB(A) at night in the residential area, which is regulated in the noise and vibration management law. But, it is difficult to estimate the noise emitted from the wind power plant because of the absence of the prediction model of the wind power plant noise. Therefore, the noise prediction model for wind power plants using the regression analysis method is developed in this study. For the development of the model, the sound pressure levels of the wind power plants in Jeju island are measured and the correlations between the sound pressure levels are analyzed. Finally, the prediction equation of the wind power plant noise using by regression analysis method derived. The prediction equation for the wind power plant noise proposed in this study can be useful to evaluate the environmental effects in any wind power plant development district.

  • A finite element model for the non-linear dynamic analysis of a reinforced concrete (RC) containment shell of a nuclear power plant subjected to extreme loads such as impact and earthquake is presented in this work. The impact is modeled by using an uncoupled approach in which a load function is applied at the impact zone. The earthquake load is modeled by prescribing ground accelerations at the base of the structure. The nuclear containment is discretized spatially by using 20-node brick finite elements. The concrete in compression is modeled by using a modified $Dr{\ddot{u}}cker$-Prager elasto-plastic constitutive law where strain rate effects are considered. Cracking of concrete is modeled by using a smeared cracking approach where the tension-stiffening effect is included via a strain-softening rule. A model based on fracture mechanics, using the concept of constant fracture energy release, is used to relate the strain softening effect to the element size in order to guaranty mesh independency in the numerical prediction. The reinforcing bars are represented by incorporated membrane elements with a von Mises elasto-plastic law. Two benchmarks are used to verify the numerical implementation of the present model. Results are presented graphically in terms of displacement histories and cracking patterns. Finally, the influence of the shear transfer model used for cracked concrete as well as the effect due to a base slab incorporation in the numerical modeling are analyzed.

  • Purpose - There are numerous theories for retail trade area analysis which are designed to select candidate locations for new stores. In this study, comparative analysis on the characteristics from those of the theories are shown, and the explanation for the power in consumers' store-choice behaviors and their limitations are examined. Also, plans for improving commercial sphere analysis are explored. Research design, data, and methodology - This study is based on literature reviews with normative research methodology. Among many researches regarding the analysis on the location and commercial sphere for launching a new store, researches relying on statistics are excluded in this study since they belong to the marketing research area,. Results - In the Law of retail gravitation, Huff's model multinomial logit model and etc. are mutual complementary mathematical techniques for analyzing commercial spheres and each of them has its own characteristics. These theories rely on the same hypothesis in which consumers are all believed to be behaving rationally under a similar behavioral system. However, the trial in explaining or estimating behavior of choosing a store with only a select size of the population that is objectively estimated by some major properties has limits in its credibility. Conclusion - Research on consumer's spatial behaviors can be fully illustrative and explainable when it has both quantitative approaches such as 'law of retail gravitation', 'logit model' and etc., and qualitative approaches like consumer's 'cognitive structure', 'learning status', 'image formation', 'attitude' and etc.

  • ‘Schiedsgutachten’ is more of a law phenomenon that appears frequently in privity of contract rather than a concept that is .generally established in the positive law. There is no definition of this in the positive law which makes it difficult to put a finger on the concept but when the concerned party of the conflict puts the establishment of a fact that is a premise to the legal relationship or the right about the legal right's content or the supplementation of the legal relationship to a third party and makes an agreement to follow the third party's judgement, the process is called the contract of schiedsgutachten. At this point, the judgement of the third party is called the schiedsgutachten. This thesis strives to search for an activation of the schiedsgutachten system in Korea by analyzing and researching the systems in various European countries including Germany where the above mentioned schiedsgutachten system is relatively well-developed. First of all, the three types of schiedsgutachten in the German law will be looked into. Based on this, the theories and judicial precedents of Swiss law, French law, Italian law, and British law will be looked into as well. By doing this, similarities and distinction standards between the various countries' legal systems will be further analyzed. Along with this, the legal qualities and the binding power of the schiedsgutachten will be searched out. In Korea, the term schiedsgutachten itself is not customary as the system itself is not actively being carried out. However, in car damage compensation lawsuits which occupy a big percentage, if the schiedsgutachten system were to be used, the problem would be easily solved without progressing to lawsuits. Korea should actively seek out this system with the various models of different countries including Germany which has been introduced in this thesis as a model.

  • We study the long-term radio variability of 43 radio bright AGNs by exploiting the data base of the University of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO) monitoring program. The UMRAO database provides high quality lightcurves spanning 25 - 32 years in time at three observing frequencies, 4.8, 8, and 14.5 GHz. We model the periodograms (temporal power spectra) of the observed lightcurves as simple power-law noise (red noise, spectral power $P(f){\propto}f^{-{\beta}}$ using Monte Carlo simulations, taking into account windowing effects (red-noise leak, aliasing). The power spectra of 39 (out of 43) sources are in good agreement with the models, yielding a range in power spectral index (${\beta}$) from ${\approx}1$ to ${\approx}3$. We find a strong anti-correlation between ${\beta}$ and the fractal dimension of the lightcurves, which provides an independent check of the quality of our modelling of power spectra. We fit a Gaussian function to each flare in a given lightcurve to obtain the flare duration. We discover a correlation between ${\beta}$ and the median duration of the flares. We use the derivative of a lightcurve to obtain a characteristic variability timescale which does not depend on the assumed functional form of the flares, incomplete fitting, and so on. We find that, once the effects of relativistic Doppler boosting on the observed timescales are corrected, the variability timescales of our sources are proportional to the black hole mass to the power of ${\alpha}=1.70{\pm}0.49$. We see an indication for AGNs in different regimes of accretion rate, flat spectrum radio quasars and BL Lac objects, having different scaling relations with ${\alpha}{\approx}1$ and ${\approx}2$, respectively. We find that modelling the periodograms of four of our sources requires the assumption of broken powerlaw spectra. From simulating lightcurves as superpositions of exponential flares we conclude that strong overlap of flares leads to featureless simple power-law periodograms of AGNs at radio wavelengths in most cases (The paper is about to be submitted to ApJ).

  • Numerical modeling for the safety-related equipment used in a nuclear power plant (i.e., cabinet facilities) plays an essential role in seismic risk assessment. A full finite element model is often time-consuming for nonlinear time history analysis due to its computational modeling complexity. Thus, this study aims to generate a simplified model that can capture the nonlinear behavior of the electrical cabinet. Accordingly, the distributed plasticity approach was utilized to examine the stiffness-degradation effect caused by the local buckling of the structure. The inherent dynamic characteristics of the numerical model were validated against the experimental test. The outcomes indicate that the proposed model can adequately represent the significant behavior of the structure, and it is preferred in practice to perform the nonlinear analysis of the cabinet. Further investigations were carried out to evaluate the seismic behavior of the cabinet under the influence of the constitutive law of material models. Three available models in OpenSees (i.e., linear, bilinear, and Giuffre-Menegotto-Pinto (GMP) model) were considered to provide an enhanced understating of the seismic responses of the cabinet. It was found that the material nonlinearity, which is the function of its smoothness, is the most effective parameter for the structural analysis of the cabinet. Also, it showed that implementing nonlinear models reduces the seismic response of the cabinet considerably in comparison with the linear model.
