One of the most important roles in the nonlinear dynamic structural analysis is to select a proper ground excitation, which dominates the response of a structure. Because of the lack of recorded accelerograms in Korea, a stochastic model of ground excitation with various dynamic properties rather than recorded accelerograms is necessarily required. If all information is not available at site, the information from other sites with similar features can be used by the procedure of seismic hazard analysis. Eliopoulos and Wen identified the parameters of the ground motion model by the empirical relations or expressions developed by Trifunac and Lee. Because the relations used in the parameter identification are largely empirical, it is required to apply the artificial neural networks instead of the empirical model. Additionally, neural networks have the advantage of the empirical model that it can continuously re-train the new recorded data, so that it can adapt to the change of the enormous data. Based on the redefined traditional processes, three neural-networks-based models (FAS_NN, PSD_NN and INT_NN) are proposed to individually substitute the Fourier amplitude spectrum, the parameter identification of power spectral density function and intensity function. The paper describes the first half of the research for the development of Neural-Networks-based model for the generation of an Artificial earthquake and a Response Spectrum(NNARS).

Abstract The purpose of the synthetic of monthly river flows based on the short-term observed data by means of multivariate stochastic models is to provide abundunt input data to the water resources systems of which the system performance and operation policy are to be determined beforehand. In this study, multivariate Thomas-Fiering and Matalas models for synthetic generation based on stream flows in neihboring basin were employed to check if it can be applide in the modeling of monthly flows. Statistical parameters estimated by Method of Moment and Fourier Series Analysis respectively were reproduced for statistical features. For comparisons the statistical parameters of the generated monthly flow by each model were compared with those of the observed monthly flows. Results of this study suggest that the application of Matalas model for synthetic generation of monthly river flows can be adapted.

기후변화는 미래 수문 순환 및 수자원에 악영향을 미칠 수 있는 가장 잠재력이 큰 요인이다. 특히 강우량의 변동은 가뭄 홍수를 더욱 양극화 할 수 있으며, 지역별 수문 순환에 막대한 영향을 주기 때문에 수자원 관리 계획 수립 시 기후변화 요소를 필히 고려해야 한다. 추계 강우 생성 모형은 상대적으로 적은 매개변수를 이용하여 긴 강우 시나리오를 생성할 수 있는 장점을 바탕으로 기후 변화와 결합하여 기후 변화 영향 평가에 활발하게 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 General Circulation Model(GCM)으로 모의한 미래 월강우 자료에서 기후변화에 따른 강우량의 변화를 변동 인자(Change factor)로 정량화하고, 강우생성모형인 THM(The hybrid model)에 적용하여 미래 강우 시나리오를 모의하고자 한다. 먼저 기상청 28개 종관기상관측소를 대상으로 강우생성모형의 성능을 평가 하였고, 그 결과 집성기간 1시간-1일에 해당하는 강우의 통계치를 성공적으로 재현함을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 생성된 미래 강우 시나리오는 1) 기후변화를 고려하였으며, 2) 시 단위의 고해상도 강우자료이며, 3) 수문 모의에 필요한 만큼 충분히 길게 생성할 수 있기 때문에 미래 수자원 관리 계획 및 수문 분석에 효과적으로 활용될 것이다.

Spatial variability is an inherent characteristic of soil, and auto-correlation length (ACL) is a very important parameter in the reliability or probabilistic analyses of geotechnical engineering that consider the spatial variability of soils. Current methods for estimating the ACL need a large amount of laboratory or in-situ experiments, which is a great obstacle to the application of random field theory to geotechnical reliability analysis and design. To estimate the ACL reasonably and efficiently, we propose a micro-structure based numerical simulation method. The quartet structure generation set algorithm is used to generate stochastic numerical micro-structure of soils, and scanning electron microscope test of soil samples combined with digital image processing technique is adopted to obtain parameters needed in the QSGS algorithm. Then, 2-point correlation function is adopted to calculate the ACL based on the generated numerical micro-structure of soils. Results of a case study shows that the ACL can be estimated efficiently using the proposed method. Sensitivity analysis demonstrates that the ACL will become stable with the increase of mesh density and model size. A model size of $300{\times}300$ with a grid size of $1{\times}1$ is suitable for the calculation of the ACL of clayey soils.

This paper proposes the motion generation method in which the movement of the 3-links leg subsystem in constrained to slider-link and a singular posture can be easily avoided. This method is the realization of jumping control moving in a vertical direction, which mimics a cat's behavior. To consider the movement from the point of the constraint mechanical system, a robotics system for realizing the motion will change its configuration according to the position. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is illustrated by simulation and experimental results.

In this thesis, based on Genetic Algorithm, a new route search algorithm is presented to search an optimal route between the origin and the destination in intelligent route guidance systems in order to minimize the route traveling time. The proposed algorithm is effectively employed to complex road networks which have diverse turn constrains, time-delay constraints due to cross signals, and stochastic traffic volume. The algorithm is also shown to significantly promote search efficiency by changing the population size of path individuals that exist in each generation through the concept of age and lifetime to each path individual. A virtual road-traffic network with various turn constraints and traffic volume is simulated, where the suggested algorithm promptly produces not only an optimal route to minimize the route cost but also the estimated travel time for any pair of the origin and the destination, while effectively avoiding turn constraints and traffic jam.

A past monthly data is not faithful so much for a short term. But, the stochastic generation technique was provide of a long-term data. Thus this study is used a data which generated a monthly inflow amounts data by Thomas-Fiering model. This model is needed a certain process which determination of distribution, decision of continuous durability, etc. It was generated a inflow data every one month as Thomas-Fiering method. The generated inflow data was used input data for a monthly cumulative analysis. This analysis obtained a storage capacities which would be required during droughts having various return periods. It was presented a equation of fitting regression that was carried out regression analysis of 5, 10, 20, 50 years period.

Artificial intelligence with a sufficient amount of realistic big data in certain applications has been demonstrated to play an important role in designing new materials or in manufacturing high-quality products. To reduce cracks in ceramic products using machine learning, it is desirable to utilize big data in recently developed data-driven optimization schemes. However, there is insufficient big data for ceramic processes. Therefore, we developed a numerical algorithm to make "virtual" manufacturing data sets using indirect methods such as computer simulations and image processing. In this study, a numerical algorithm based on the random walk was demonstrated to generate images of cracks by adjusting the conditions of the random walk process such as the number of steps, changes in direction, and the number of cracks.

This paper presents a nonparametric method to test if the mean difference of DEA efficiency estimates between two groups statistically exists. A proposed method employs a bootstrapping approach to generation BCC efficiency estimates through Monte Carlo simulation resampling process. For the purpose of demonstration, we empirically apply the proposed method to the korean bank industry and compare its result with the result by the traditional deterministic DEA method. The nonparametric statistical hypothesis testing procedure in this study, which considers not only stochastic variability of the DEA data, but also random radial deviations off the efficient frontier, serves as a useful tool for dbjectively evaluating whether the mean difference of DEA efficiency estimates between groups is statistically significant.

Coordination of multiple UAVs is an essential technology for various applications in robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence. In general, it includes 1) waypoints assignment and 2) trajectory generation. In this paper, we propose a new method for this problem. First, we modify the concept of the standard visibility graph to greatly improve the optimality of the generated trajectories and reduce the computational complexity. Second, we propose an efficient stochastic approach using simulated annealing that assigns waypoints to each UAV from the constructed visibility graph. Third, we describe a method to detect collision between two UAVs. FinallY, we suggest an efficient method of controlling the velocity of UAVs using A* algorithm in order to avoid inter-UAV collision. We present simulation results from various environments that verify the effectiveness of our approach.
