A truss-braced wing (TBW) aircraft has recently received increasing attention due to higher aerodynamic efficiency compared to conventional cantilever wing aircraft. For conceptual TBW aircraft design, we developed a propulsion-and-airframe integrated design environment by replacing a semi-empirical turbofan engine model with a thermodynamic cycle-based one built upon the numerical propulsion system simulation (NPSS). The constructed NPSS model benefitted TBW aircraft design study, as it could handle engine installation effects influencing engine fuel efficiency. The NPSS model also contributed to broadening TBW aircraft design space, for it provided turbofan engine design variables involving a technology factor reflecting progress in propulsion technology. To effectively consolidate the NPSS propulsion model with the TBW airframe model, we devised a rapid, approximate substitute of the NPSS model by reduced-order modeling (ROM) to resolve difficulties in model integration. In addition, we formed an artificial neural network (ANN) that associates engine component attributes evaluated by object-oriented weight analysis of turbine engine (WATE++) with engine design variables to determine engine weight and size, both of which bring together the propulsion and airframe system models. Through propulsion-andairframe design space exploration, we optimized TBW aircraft design for fuel saving and revealed that a simple engine model neglecting engine installation effects may overestimate TBW aircraft performance.

현대의 시스템은 지속적으로 대형화, 복잡화되어 왔기 때문에 시스템의 오류 발생 가능성이 커졌다. 시스템의 고장은 안전 사고를 발생시키고, 인명과 재산상의 막대한 피해를 줄 수 있다. 이러한 이유로 미 국방성과 IEC 등의 국제표준기구에서는 시스템의 안전성을 확보하기 위한 안전 관련 국제표준을 제정하였고, 시스템 설계와 안전 활동이 통합적으로 수행되어야 함을 권고하였다. 이에 따라 최근의 연구들은 모델기반 시스템 설계를 진행함과 동시에 모델을 활용하여 시스템의 안전성 검증을 수행하였다. 하지만 시스템 설계를 위한 모델과 안전성 분석 및 검증을 위한 고장모델을 서로 다른 모델링 언어를 기반으로 생성하였기 때문에 시스템 설계와 안전 활동이 통합적으로 수행되지 못하였다. 또한, UML 또는 SysML 기반으로 고장모델을 활용하여 안전 요구사항을 도출한 연구들은 안전 분석 및 검증에 고장모델이 제한적으로 활용되었다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 기존의 고장모델 활용법을 확장 시킬 필요가 있다. 우선 시스템 설계와 안전성 검증 활동을 통합적으로 수행할 수 있는 개선된 SysML 기반의 고장모델을 생성해야 한다. 다음으로 이 고장모델을 활용하여 도출된 안전요구사항이 시스템 설계에 제대로 반영되었는지 검증할 수 있어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 개선된 SysML 기반 고장모델의 개념과 생성 절차를 제시하였고, 자동차 시스템에 대한 고장모델을 생성하였다. 또한, 자동차 시스템의 안전성을 검증하기 위해서 고장모델의 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이를 통해서 개선된 SysML 기반 고장모델을 활용하여 시스템 설계와 안전성 검증 활동을 수행할 수 있음을 보였다.

This study proposed new method to decide the reference model necessary for design PID controller. In generally, control design problems using the reference model have the following two factors. One factor is that numerical model of the controlled system can be obtained extremely, and the other is that specification for the closed-loop dynamic performance is pure moderate. Therefore, the control design procedure is essentially based on the partial reference model matching which offers a reasonable method to simplify the design and the controller configuration under the controlled system uncertainty. ITAE(Integral of time-multiplied absolute error) performance index and Kitamori method etc. which were used a reference model method had a limit to settling time and rising time of reference model that it arrived to steady state response according to the controlled system. On this study, if it only knew peak time of overshoot and settling time by measurement signal of the controlled system, it can be made the reference model easily. We proposed new method to improve performance index of the reference model superior to existing reference model index and illustrate the numerical simulation results to show the effectiveness of proposed control method design.

The progress of silicon technology enables to implement a highly complex digital system on a given chip area. However, even the modern design environment is not so efficient to catch up with the progress of process technology. Design reuse is a promising approach to designing such a complex system in an efficient way. However, the rigidness and inflexibility of a model has been an obstacle to design reuse. This paper proposes a high-level model management methodology by introducing attributed AND-OR graph(AOG), a (formal semantics for representing the possible structure of a model. Using the formalism enables a designer to extract, extend and reuse the pre-modeled and pre-verified design. A complete process of constructing a cache operational model, extending the model and extracting executable models is exemplified to show effectiveness of the proposed framework.

Recently, the increased complexity of systems has made systems engineering necessary. It is very useful for system designers to understand the whole context of the concerned system based on systems engineering. A system model can be used to describe the outcome of a system design. A system model describes the system from the viewpoint of the stakeholder's needs using the mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive principle. A system model can be used to smoothly design a large and complicated system based on the systems engineering development process. Many companies and countries are attempting to apply model-based systems engineering, and the significance of the system model quality is increasing as system models are referenced during system development. In this paper, we propose a quality assessment method for ontology which is one of system models by focusing on the system development process. First, in this process, a system developer should explicitly show the relationship between viewpoints. Then, the system developer should select dependent rather than independent viewpoints. With dependent viewpoints, each viewpoint used to describe the system has some logical relationship. The set of viewpoints makes it possible to show, not only tangible and physical system parts, but also conceptual system parts. In this paper, we develop an ontological system model of a Japanese weather observation system. By comparing some ontological system models, we verify the effectiveness of explicitly describing the relationships between viewpoints and select dependent viewpoints.

Any design process is interwoven with numerous intermediate design representations and information. On the other hand, designers proceed the design through various activities. It has always been a difficult task to model the design process, yet there are many significant research outputs that explain the design process through the cognitive approaches. This research started from the necessity of an interactive system which externalize the elements of design process in a visual or tangible manner. In order to do so, a design model, specifically a design process representation model was necessary to capture and represent design process. Several concepts such as design issue, design concept, and design form were defined through the empirical studies of design practices. The assumption is that the design process can be effectively captured by the presented system and it can help both designers and tutors review and analyze the design process. It should also help novice designers learn from expert designer's design process patterns. The system represents design process pattern in a interactive graphic environment. It also provides various useful features to enhance the analysis of design process. This paper presents theoretical groundwork and development process of the design process visualizer. The representation model is presented, and the application of the system is reviewed. Discussions on the further development directions include critical evaluation of the system.

In this paper, a design and experiment of PCI Express Core verification Model is described. The model targeting Endpoint core verification is designed by using newly-emerging SystemC which is a system design language based on a new C++ class library and simulation engine. In the verification model, we developed a SystemC Host System model which act as a Root Complex and Device Driver dedicated to the PCI Express Endpoint RTL Core. The test of Host System Model is guided by scenarios which implements and acts point of Device Driver and Root Complex and shows the result of simulation. Also, We present the full structure of verification model and Host model.

This paper describes a method for size optimization of the major design variables for solar water heating systems at the stage of concept design. The widely used RETScreen simulation tool was used for optimization. Currently, the RETScreen tool itself does not provide a function for optimization of the design parameters. In this study, an optimizer was combined with the software. A comparative study was performed to evaluate the RETScreen-based approach with the case study of a solar heating system in an office building. The optimized results using the RETScreen model were compared to previously published results with the TRNSYS model. The objective function of the optimization is the life-cycle cost of the system. The optimized design results from the RETScreen model showed good agreement with the optimized TRNSYS results for the solar collector area and storage volume, but presented a slight difference for the collector slope angle in terms of the converged direction of the solutions. The energy cost, life-cycle cost, and thermal performance regarding collector efficiency, system efficiency, and solar fraction were compared as well, and the RETScreen model showed good agreement with the TRNSYS model for the conditions of the base case and optimized design.
