Several design problems of composite structures are studied via a global optimizer based on attraction regions. MSC/NASTRAN is adopted for static and eigenvalue analysis. The method of modified feasible direction in DOT is used for local optimization. Through the review of global optimization algorithms, the triangular patch algorithm is selected because the algorithm is known to be efficient, robust and powerful for general nonlinear optimization problems. For general applicability, various mechanical properties are considered as design objectives; strain energy, eigenvalue, weight, displacement, and buckling load. In all cases considered, the triangular patch algorithm results in a lot of optimum points and useful design patterns, that are not easy by local algorithms or conventional global algorithms can be determined.

In this paper, an adaptive generalized predictive control(GPC) algorithm which minimizes a N-stage cost function is proposed. The resulting controller is based on GPC algorithm and can be used in unknown plant parameters as the parameters of one step ahead predictor are estimated by recursive least squares method. The estimated parameters are extended to G,P, and F amtrix which contain the parameters of N step ahead predictors. And the minimization of cost function assuming no constraints on future controls results in the projected control increment vector. Hence this adaptive GPC algorithm can be used for either unknown system or varing system parameters, and it is also shown through simulations that the algorithm is robust to the variation of system parameters. This adaptive GPC scheme is shown to have the same stability properties as the deterministic GPC, and requires small amount of calculation compared to other adaptive algorithms which minimize N-stage cost function. Especially, in case that the maximum output horizon is 1, the proposed algorithm can be applicable to direct adaptive GPC.

In this study, an image processing method with FRANSAC(Fuzzy RANSAC) is presented and discussed for the development of a microscopic gap measuring algorithm. Many problems in edge detection processing are mainly occurred by the illumination system. A serious problem is that the edge set of gap could include the error elements that have relatively larger error than normal. This problem leads to a incorrect measurement of gap. We present a gap measuring algorithm using FRANSAC[1] that is a representative robust estimation algorithm. FRANSAC is peformed by first categorizing all data into good sample set, bad sample set and vague sample set using a fuzzy classification and then sampling in only good sample set. Experimental results show that the presented gap measuring algorithm gives a higher accurate value of gap especially for the more noisy image data.

In this paper, a new offset algorithm for closed 2D lines with islands is introduced and the result is illustrated. The main point of the proposed algorithm is that every point is set to be an offset by using bisectors, and then invalid offset lines, which are not to be participated in offsets, are detected in advance and handled with an invalid offset edge handling algorithm. As a result, raw offset lines without local invalid loops are generated. The proposed offset method is proved to be robust and simple, moreover, has a near O(n) time complexity, where n denotes the number of input lines. In addition, the proposed algorithm has been implemented and tested with 2D lines of various shapes.

Traditional genetic algorithms, though robust, are generally not the most successful optimization algorithm on any particular domain. Hybridizing a genetic algorithm with other algorithms can produce better performance than both the genetic algorithm and the other algorithms. In this paper, we use random process and simulated annealing instead of mutation operator in order to get well tuned fuzzy rules. The key of this approach is to adjust both the width and the center of membership functions so that the tuned rule-based fuzzy controller can generate the desired performance. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by computer simulation.

Flutter characteristics of composite curved wing were investigated in this study. The efficient and robust system for the flutter optimization of general composite curved wing models has been developed using the coupled computational method based on both the standard genetic algorithm and the micro genetic algorithms. Micro genetic algorithm is used as an alternative method to overcome the relatively poor exploitation characteristics of the standard genetic algorithm. The present results show that the micro genetic algorithm is more efficient in order to find optimized lay-ups for a composite curved wing model. It is found that the flutter stability of curved wing model can be significantly increased using composite materials with proper optimum lamination design when compared to the case of isotropic wing model under the same weight condition.

This paper proposes a phase measurement algorithm which is based on the recursive implementation of sliding-DFT. The proposed algorithm is designed to have a robust behavior against the erroneous factors of frequency drift, additive noise, and twiddle factor approximation. Four channel power-line phase measurement system is also designed and implemented based on the time-multiplexed sharing architecture of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm's features of phase measurement accuracy and its robustness against the finite wordlength effects can provide a significant impact especially for the ASIC or microprocessor based embedded system applications where the enhanced processing speed and implementation simplicity are crucial design considerations.

In real system application, the IMM-based position tracking algorithm requires robust performance, less computing resources and easy design procedure with respect to the uncertain target maneuvering, To solve these problems, an adaptive fuzzy interacting multiple model (AFIMM) algorithm, which is based on the well-defined basis sub-models and well-adjusted mode transition probabilities (MTPs), is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm effectively solves the problems in the real system application of the IMM-based position tracking algorithm.

We investigate an image recovery method for sparse-view computed tomography (CT) using an iterative shrinkage algorithm based on a second-order approach. The two-step iterative shrinkage-thresholding (TwIST) algorithm including a total variation regularization technique is elucidated to be more robust than other first-order methods; it enables a perfect restoration of an original image even if given only a few projection views of a parallel-beam geometry. We find that the incoherency of a projection system matrix in CT geometry sufficiently satisfies the exact reconstruction principle even when the matrix itself has a large condition number. Image reconstruction from fan-beam CT can be well carried out, but the retrieval performance is very low when compared to a parallel-beam geometry. This is considered to be due to the matrix complexity of the projection geometry. We also evaluate the image retrieval performance of the TwIST algorithm -sing measured projection data.
