  • The dynamic nature of the A/E/C industry, rapidly changing global market environments, and lowest cost competitive bidding make it difficult to survive in global design markets. To understand the global design markets, a case study has been undertaken. The top 150 global design firms represented in the ENR (Engineering News Record) from 1995 to 2003 are classified into three groups for the case study. First group is the firms which advanced in rank from 1995. Second group is the firms which maintained its rank from 1994 until 2003. Third group is the firms which went down in rank from 1995 until 2003. However, finding key factors and changing business strategies of successful top design firms are the fundamental goals in this paper. After examinations of case studies, this paper concludes and suggests that professionalization, M&A strategies, patrons of the government, and academic support are needed to be successful in the global design & engineering industry.

  • A top-down approach is known to be a useful and effective technique for the design and analysis of metabolic systems. In this Study, we have constructed a grouped metabolic network for Lactococcus lactis under aerobic conditions using grouped enzyme kinetics. To test the usefulness of grouping work, a non-grouped system and grouped systems were compared quantitatively with each other. Here, grouped Systems were designed as two groups according to the extent of grouping. The overall simulated flux values in grouped and non-grouped models had pretty similar distribution trends, but the details on flux ratio at the pyruvate branch point showed a little difference. This result indicates that our grouping technique can be used as a good model for complicated metabolic networks, however, for detailed analysis of metabolic network, a more robust mechanism Should be considered. In addition to the data for the pyruvate branch point analysis, Some major flux control coefficients were obtained in this research.

  • This paper introduces a systematic top-down and bottom-up design methodology to assist the designer in the implementation of continuous-time (CT) cascade sigma-delta (${\Sigma}{\Delta}$) modulators. The salient features of this methodology are (a) flexible behavioral modeling for optimum accuracy-efficiency trade-offs at different stages of the top-down synthesis process, (b) direct synthesis in the continuous-time domain for minimum circuit complexity and sensitivity, (c) mixed knowledge-based and optimization-based architectural exploration and specification transmission for enhanced circuit performance, and (d) use of Pareto-optimal fronts of building blocks to reduce re-design iterations. The applicability of this methodology will be illustrated via the design of a 12-bit 20 MHz CT ${\Sigma}{\Delta}$ modulator in a 1.2 V 130 nm CMOS technology.

  • High-level design aids are mandatory for design of a continuous-time delta-sigma modulator (CTDSM). This paper proposes a top-down methodology design to generate a noise transfer function (NTF) which is compensated for excess loop delay (ELD). This method is applicable to low pass loop-filter topologies. Non-ideal effects including ELD, integrator scaling issue, finite op-amp performance, clock jitter and DAC inaccuracies are explicitly represented in a behavioral simulation of a CTDSM. Mathematical modeling using MATLAB is supplemented with circuit-level simulation using Verilog-A blocks. Behavioral simulation and circuit-level simulation using Verilog-A blocks are used to validate our approach.

  • 본 연구에서는 다양한 아스팔트포장의 공용수명을 예측하기 위한 포장상태 평가의 사례를 제시하였다. ARAN(Automatic Road Analyzer)을 이용하여 균열 및 소성변형 감과 감전 포장의 표면파손 현황에 대한 조사를 실시하고 HPCI(Highway Pavement Condition Index)를 산정하였다. 포장 파손현황을 분석한 결과 가장 빈번한 형태의 파손은 Top-down 균열로 나타났다. FWD(Falling Weight Deflectometer)로부터 측정한 처짐데이터를 사용하여 포장의 탄성계수를 역산정하여 실내에서 구한 동탄성계수와 비교하였다. 그 결과를 역학적-경험적 방법과 AASHTO 93 설계법에 적용하여 포장의 지지력을 평가하였으며, 지지력은 설계수명 동안 충분한 것으로 평가되었다. 현재 포장의 주된 파손은 표층부의 Top-down 균열이므로 포장상태 평가로 계산된 HPCI와 기존 공용성 자료에 근거하여 포장의 잔존수명을 예측하였다. 포장상태 평가와 함께 포장의 조기파손 원인분석을 위해 대상구간의 코어 시편을 채취하여 공극률, 입도, 아스팔트 함량, 피로저항성 등의 물성을 측정하였다. 바인더를 태워 아스팔트 함량을 측정하는 방법은 현장시료의 경우 부정확한 것으로 나타났다. 실내시험결과 조기 균열이 발생한 가장 큰 이유는 다짐부족과 골재의 입도 부정확 등 시공시의 품질관리가 미흡한 것이 주된 원인으로 나타났다.

  • This study is concerned with the thermal analysis during the cool-down period of 135,000㎥ class GT-96 membrane type LNG carrier under IMO and USCG design condition. During the cool-down period, the spraying rate for the NG cooling decreases as the temperature of NG falls down from -4$0^{\circ}C$ to -l3$0^{\circ}C$, and the spraying rate for the cooling of the insulation wall increases as the temperature gradient of the insulation wall is large. It was confirmed that there existed the largest temperature decrease at the first barrier and the first insulation, which are among the insulation wall, especially in the top side of the insulation wall under IMO and USCG design condition. Also, as the NG temperature distribution is fixed, the outer temperature condition under the design condition has influence on the temperature variation at the insulation. By the 3-D numerical calculation about the cargo tank and the cofferdam during the cool-down period, the temperature variation in hulls and insulations is precisely predicted under IMO and USCG design condition. From the comparison between two conditions; IMO design condition shows more severe temperature gradient than USCG design condition, therefore, it provides the conservative estimation of the BOG.

  • This work is mainly done by too many manual operations in the aircraft structure design process resulting in heavy workload, low efficiency and quality, non-standardized processes and procedures. A top-down associated design method employing the template parametric technology is proposed here in order to improve the quality of design and efficiency of aircraft wing structure at the preliminary design stage. The appropriate parametric tool is chosen and the rapid design system of knowledge-driven aircraft wing structure is developed. First, a skeleton model of aircraft wing structure is rapidly built up through the template encapsulated design knowledge. Associated design is then introduced to realize the association between the typical structural part and skeleton model. Finally, the related elements are referenced from skeleton model, and a typical structural part reflecting an automatic response for design changes of the upstream skeleton model is quickly constructed within the template. The rapid design system proposed and developed in this paper is able to formalize the design standardization of aircraft wing structure and thus the rapid generation of different aircraft wing structure programs and achieve the structural design knowledge reuse as well.

  • 1990년대 이후로 양방향 재하시험(Bi-directional pile load test)은 기존 재하시험 방법에 대한 장점으로 인해 최근 여러 나라에서 그 사용이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 양방향재하시험은 두부재하시험과 상이한 재하기구를 따르므로 실제 구조물의 거동, 특히 말뚝 두부에서의 하중-변위 거동에 있어 실제와 다른 결과를 줄 우려가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 동일한 형상과 지반조건을 갖는 두 본의 말뚝에 대해 한 본은 두부재하 방식으로, 한 본은 선단부 양방향 재하방식으로 정재하시험을 수행하였으며, 이 때 말뚝 깊이별로 변형률계를 부착하여 말뚝의 하중-전이 기구를 분석하였다. 변형률계 분석으로 구한 말뚝의 깊이별 하중 전이 함수의 모양은 시험방법에 따른 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 양방향 재하시험을 이용하여 기존의 방법으로 추정한 말뚝두부 변위는 두부재하시험으로 구한 변위에 비해 사용하중하에서 1/2 미만인 것으로 나타났다. 양방향 재하시험 결과를 이용하여 보다 정확한 하중-변위곡선을 예측하기 위해 말뚝의 탄성압축량을 고려하는 간단한 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 양방향 재하시험시 변형률계 계측자료를 이용하여 두부재하시험 곡선과 거의 동일한 하중-변위 곡선을 예측할 수 있었다.

  • The aim of this paper is to discuss how designers lead and direct 'technology-driven society' using their creative communication skill. To this end, it is required for communication designers to take conscious steps to recognize the future direction of their profession. Despite the advancement in technology, there is a human being at the center of all design activities. From a certain point of view, contemporary communication design takes an open-ended exploration of the subject matter, rather than a finished output. The notion of creative leadership may potentially expand more in terms of improving the methodology of today's visual culture. The paper will examine creative leadership that could be proposed by the challenge of discourse upon the upcoming industrial revolution. Today, communication designers are confronted by new leadership opportunities and challenges. Some leading designers seem to focus on brand new media technologies to prepare the 4th industrial revolutions. However, communication design cannot be discussed in the medium but can be understood as a process. Top-down and bottom-up process is always a concerned about the relationship since the focus of leadership has changed. In the top-down process, the leadership has existed between 'designer and client' because designers have played their role as a problem solver. On the other hand, there is a different model of leadership between 'design and technology' based on bottom-up process, which stem from the design authorship. In this regard, the new definition of creative leadership in the $4^{th}$ industrial revolution proposes a designer as a problem-finder based on the relationship between the 'designer and the public'.
