Abstract The formulation of the probabilistic finite element method was briefly reviewed. The method was implemented into a computer program for frame analysis which has the same analogy as finite element analysis. Another program for Monte Carlo simulation of finite element analysis was written. Two sample structures were assumed and analized. The characteristics of the second moment statistics obtained by the probabilistic finite element method was examined through numerical studies. The applicability and limitation of the method were also evaluated in comparison with the data generated by Monte Carlo simulation.

Java language is a representative object-oriented language that is used at the various platform and fields. A structure of java language is simpler than traditional procedural-oriented language because of characters of object-oriented language But it is difficult to debug complicated java programs. Debugging has always been a costly part of software development. Syntax errors of java programs is easily found by the current debugging system. But it is difficult to locate logical errors included in java programs. Traditional debugging techniques locating logical errors in java program have been still used with conventional methods that are used at procedural-oriented languages. Unfortunately, these traditional methods are often inadequate for the task of isolating specific program errors. Debugger users may spend considerable time debugging code of program development with sequential methods according as program size is large and is complicated. It is important to easily locate errors included in java program in the software development. In this paper, we apply algorithmic debugging method that debugger user can easily debug programs to java program. This method executes a program and makes an execution tree from calling relation of functions. And it locates errors at the execution tree. So, Algorithmic debugging method can reduce the number of debugging than conventional sequential method.

The integrity of nuclear piping systems has to be maintained sufficiently all the times during operation. In order to maintain the integrity, reliable assessment procedures including fracture mechanics analysis, etc, are required. Up to now, the integrity assessment has been performed using conventional deterministic approach even though there are lots of uncertainties to hinder a rational evaluation. In this respect, probabilistic approach is considered as an appropriate method for piping system evaluation. The objectives of this paper are to develop a probabilistic assessment program using reliability index and simulation technique and to estimate the damage probability of wall-thinned pipes in secondary systems. The probabilistic assessment program consists of three evaluation modules which are first order reliability method, second order reliability method and Monte Carlo simulation method. The developed program has been applied to evaluate damage probabilities of wall-thinned pipes subjected to internal pressure, global bending moment and combined loading. The sensitivity analysis results as well as prototypal evaluation results showed a promising applicability of the probabilistic integrity assessment program.

A numerical method of magnetic field calculation for the air-core solenoid is presented in this paper. In application of the Biot-Savart law, the magnetic field induced from the source current can be obtained by a double integration ormula. The numerical method named composite Simpson's rule for the integration is applied to the program and the adaptive quadrature method is used to adjust the step size in the calculation according to the precision we need. When the target point is in the solenoid and the intergrand's denominator may be zeroin the process of calculation, the method sill can provide an appropriate result. We have developed a program which calculates the magnetic field with at least 1ppm precision and named it as rzBI() to implement this method. The method has been used in the design of an MRI magnet, and the result show it is very flexible and convenient.

As more and more people are interest in mobile broadcasting, they want to use many kinds of mobile contents. On that account, DMB standard has been developed in Korea. Users can use various contents, because DMB System based on DAB System can provide not only audio service but also media service. However, as more contents increase, users will have to wait more to select Program List, which is why DMB System transports MPEG-2 TS contents by MSC. To solve this problem we propose that first we find major fields needed for generating program list, and then these fiends insert to FIC by extending UAI. We conduct some experiments to verify our proposed method is efficient. The results implies that our proposed method generate program list faster than that of previous method by 36.78%.

With the advance of the Internet and computing technologies, e-learning is now a hot issue worldwide for providing the effective learning on the cyber-space. However, most of existing e-learning contents have been developed mainly based on text, including simple multimedia elements such as images, animations, and voices. This paper suggests a method effective for the computer programming e-learning. The method is based on program visualization using flowcharts. It features the stepwise hierarchical program visualization on the level of statements, the flowchart based visualization for control constructs of languages, visualization over whole programs, visualization compared with source codes, and interaction with users. Finally, we implement a system to realize the suggested method, and execute it for an example program.

The need for overall assessment of economic effectiveness of library culture program has been suggested, as its importance continues to grow. Our study proposed a new assessment method by applying DM format and IBM format to contingent valuation method that has been used for analyzing the economic value of culture program. This study also illustrates the process through case analysis so that the public library can apply this model. It is meaningful that the study provides basic framework to evaluate the fair value of the public library by minimizing the bias that the contingent valuation method has.

The limit equilibrium method and finite element method have been commonly used to assess the stability of anchored slope. However, the existing limit equilibrium methods do not consider the load transfer of anchor and, if the potential failure surface crosses the bonded zone of anchors, the anchor loads are not included in computing the factor of safety. In this paper, simplified bishop method, one among several methods based on the limit equilibrium is used to develope the Excel Sheet program and the working load of anchor along the failure surface is calculated by Flamant's formula, proposed by Morlier and Tenier(1982). Additionally, the finite element analysis of anchored slope considering the load transfer is performed in order to compare with the result from the limit equilibrium analysis and analyze the reinforced effect of anchor. From this study, new modelling method that limits the reinforcing range and considers the load transfer is proposed and Excel Sheet program is developed. The factor of safety for several cases between PC STABL and Excel Sheet program is also compared for verification of the program.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm that applies Rolle's theorem to automatically detect and label peak III and V of the normal, suprathreshold auditory brainstem response (ABR). ABR waveform were recorded from 55 normal-hearing ears at screening levels varying from 30 to 60 dBnHL. For each ABR waveform, the peak-finding algorithm proceeded in fourth steps: (1) Select maximum and minimum values of the target ABR waveform, (2) divide this range into n equal parts, (3) effective candidate peaks in the ABR waveform are identified using Rolle's theorem (4) peak III and V are identified from these candidate peaks based on their latency and morphology. As a result, proposed auto dectection method showed high correlation and accuracy with manual detection method performed by clinician. By using proposed algorithm, clinician can detect and label peak III and V faster and more efficient than manual detection method.

The design of segmental bridges, a structure that typically employs precast prestressed concrete elements and the balanced cantilever construction method for the deck, may demand a highly complex structural analysis for increased precision of the results. This work presents a comprehensive numerical analysis of a 3D finite element model using the software ANSYS, version 21.2, to simulate the constructive deck stages of the New Guaiba Bridge, a structure located in Porto Alegre city, southern Brazil. The materials concrete and steel were considered viscoelastic. The concrete used a Generalized Kelvin model, with subroutines written in FORTRAN and added to the main model through the customization tool UPF (User Programmable Features). The steel prestressing tendons used a Generalized Maxwell model available in ANSYS. The balanced cantilever constructive steps of a span of the New Guaiba Bridge were then numerically simulated to follow the actual constructive sequence of the bridge. A comparison between the results obtained with the numerical model and the actual vertical displacement data monitored during the bridge's construction was carried out, showing a good correlation.
