Structural fuses are made up from oriented steel plates to be used to resist seismic force with shear loading resistance capabilities. The damage and excessive inelastic deformations are concentrated in structural fuses to avoid any issues for the rest of the surrounding elements. Recently developed fuse plates are designed with engineered cutouts leaving flexural or shear links with controlled yielding features. A promising type of link is proposed to align better bending strength along the length of the link with the demand moment diagram is a butterfly-shaped link. Previously, the design methodologies are purely based on the flexural stresses, or shear stresses only, which overestimate the dampers capability for resisting against the applied loadings. This study is specifically focused on the optimized design methodologies for commonly used butterfly-shaped dampers. Numerous studies have shown that the stresses are not uniformly distributed along the length of the dampers; hence, the design methodology and the effective implementation of the steel need revisions and improvements. In this study, the effect of shear and flexural stresses on the behavior of butterfly-shaped links are computationally investigated. The mathematical models based on von-Mises yielding criteria are initially developed and the optimized design methodology is proposed based on the yielding criterion. The optimized design is refined and investigated with the aid of computational investigations in the next step. The proposed design methodology meets the needs of optimized design concepts for butterfly-shaped dampers considering the uniform stress distribution and efficient use of steel.

Control algorithms are the most important aspects in successful control of structures against earthquakes. In recent years, intelligent control methods rather than classical control methods have been more considered by researchers, due to some specific capabilities such as handling nonlinear and complex systems, adaptability, and robustness to errors and uncertainties. However, due to lack of learning ability of fuzzy controller, it is used in combination with a genetic algorithm, which in turn suffers from some problems like premature convergence around an incorrect target. Therefore in this research, the introduction and design of the Fuzzy Cooperative Coevolution (Fuzzy CoCo) controller and Adaptive Neural-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) have been innovatively presented for semi-active seismic control. In this research, in order to improve the seismic behavior of structures, a semi-active control of building using Magneto Rheological (MR) damper is proposed to determine input voltage of Magneto Rheological (MR) dampers using ANFIS and Fuzzy CoCo. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to optimize the performance of controllers. In this paper, the design of controllers is based on the reduction of the Park-Ang damage index. In order to assess the effectiveness of the designed control system, its function is numerically studied on a 9-story benchmark building, and is compared to those of a Wavelet Neural Network (WNN), fuzzy logic controller optimized by genetic algorithm (GAFLC), Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) and Clipped Optimal Control (COC) systems in terms of seismic performance. The results showed desirable performance of the ANFIS and Fuzzy CoCo controllers in considerably reducing the structure responses under different earthquakes; for instance ANFIS and Fuzzy CoCo controllers showed respectively 38 and 46% reductions in peak inter-story drift ($J_1$) compared to the LQG controller; 30 and 39% reductions in $J_1$ compared to the COC controller and 3 and 16% reductions in $J_1$ compared to the GAFLC controller. When compared to other controllers, one can conclude that Fuzzy CoCo controller performs better.

This study is a study to recognize hand movements using a neural network for wrist rehabilitation. The rehabilitation of the hand aims to restore the function of the injured hand to the maximum and enable daily life, occupation, and hobby. It is common for a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, and a security tool maker to form a team and approach a doctor for a hand rehabilitation. However, it is very inefficient economically and temporally to find a place for treatment. In order to solve this problem, in this study, patients directly use smart devices to perform rehabilitation treatment. Using this will be very helpful in terms of cost and time. In this study, a wrist rehabilitation dataset was created by collecting data on 4 types of rehabilitation exercises from 10 persons. Hand gesture recognition was constructed using a neural network. As a result, the accuracy of 93% was obtained, and the usefulness of this system was verified.

The control system for the efficiency of resource utilization in sensor network environment based on object detection and environmental sensor requires active control function which based on sensor data acquisition and transmission functions and server's data analysis. Using active rule-based mobile agent middleware, this paper proposes a new distributed control framework that reduces the load of central sensor data server in sensor network environment by implementing remote data sensing and Zigbee-based communication with server and data analysis method of server. In addition, we implemented a power-saving system prototype using active rule-based distributed control methods that applied consumer's demand and environmental variables, and verified the validity of the proposed system through experiments and evaluations in the mobile agent middleware environment. The proposed system is a system framework that can efficiently autonomously control distributed objects in the sensor network environment, and it can be applied effectively to the development of demand response service based on optimal power control for the smart power system in the future.

This paper presents an System-on-Chip(SoC) implementation of fingerprint feature extraction system. Typical fingerprint feature extraction systems employ binarization and thinning processes which cause many extraction errors for low qualify fingerprint images and degrade the accuracy of the entire fingerprint recognition system. To solve these problems, an algorithm directly following ridgelines without the binarization and thinning process has been proposed. However, the computational requirement of the algorithm makes it hard to implement it on SoCs by using software only. This paper presents an implementation of the ridge-following algorithm onto SoCs. The algorithm has been modified to increase the efficiency of hardwares. Each function block of the algorithm has been implemented in hardware or in software by considering its computational complexity, cost and utilization of the hardware, and efficiency of the entire system. The fingerprint feature extraction system has been developed as an IP for SoCs, hence it can be used on many kinds of SoCs for smart cards.

This paper contains the implementation and performance evaluation results of a system that collects environmental data at the time when the wild animal intrusion occurred at farms and then predicts future wild animal intrusions through a machine learning-based Vector Autoregression(VAR) model. To collect the data for intrusion prediction, an IoT-based hardware prototype was developed, which was installed on a small farm located near the school and simulated over a long period to generate intrusion events. The intrusion prediction service based on the implemented VAR model provides the date and time when intrusion is likely to occur over the next 30 days. In addition, the proposed system includes the function of providing real-time notifications to the farmers mobile device when wild animals intrusion occurs in the farm, and performance evaluation was conducted to confirm that the average response time was 7.89 seconds.

The topic of this study is the field of humanitarian logistics for disaster response. Many existing studies have revealed that compliance with the golden time in response to a disaster determines the success or failure of relief activities, and logistics costs account for 80% of the disaster response cost. Besides, the agility, responsiveness, and effectiveness of the humanitarian logistics system are emphasized in consideration of the disaster situation's characteristics, such as the urgency of life-saving and rapid environmental changes. In other words, they emphasize the importance of logistics activities in disaster response, which includes the effective and efficient distribution of relief supplies. This study proposes a mathematical model for establishing a transport plan to distribute relief supplies in a disaster situation. To determine vehicles' route and the amount of relief for cities suffering a disaster, it mainly considers the urgency, effectiveness (restoration rate), and uncertainty in the logistics system. The model is initially developed as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model containing some nonlinear functions and transform into a Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model using a logarithmic transformation and piecewise linear approximation method. Furthermore, a minimax problem is suggested to search for breakpoints and slopes to define a piecewise linear function that minimizes the linear approximation error. A numerical experiment is performed to verify the MILP model, and linear approximation error is also analyzed in the experiment.
