In this paper, 2 kinds of models about bike frame are simulated with static structural analysis. A bike frame with diamond type is compared with another model that Down tube is eliminated from original diamond frame. About both types of models, Property of a material and conditions of restriction & load are the same. This study shows reinforcement effects of a partial frame by adding down tube and impacts generated by applying a load at the frame such as weak points & high stress parts as well as expected deformation. The structural result of this study indicates that the equivalent stress or total deformation decreases by 57.1% or 36.4%, respectively. Also stress concentration sites are leg connecting parts, front/rear wheels fixed region and Max deformation is generated from Seat tube. In conclusion, A Down tube is highly efficient as reinforcement than frame without non down tube. Furthermore, The safety rises in case of reducing top tube thickness and increasing a reinforcement at leg connecting parts or concentration regions.

This paper suggests a method on the use of very long linear array microphone in order to obtain clear loud sound reinforcement system without howling. According to the results of the theoretical investigation, we have made that a linear array microphone. This is made of one hundred small condenser microphone having 2 cm of spatical period. To estimate the effect of sound reinforcement system physically and subjectively, four cases have been experimented : In case of using no sound reinforcement, nondirectivity microphone, rectangular window and Hnning window in linear array microphone. The experimental results prove that the case of Hnning window in linear array microphone is more excellent.

Recently, deep reinforcement learning has been applied to a variety of industries, such as games, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and data cooling systems. An algorithm called reinforcement learning allows for automated asset allocation without the requirement for ongoing monitoring. It is free to choose its own policies. The purpose of this paper is to carry out an empirical analysis of the performance of asset allocation strategies. Among the strategies considered were the conventional Mean- Variance Optimization (MVO) and the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO). According to the findings, the PPO outperformed both its benchmark index and the MVO. This paper demonstrates how dynamic asset allocation can benefit from the development of a reinforcement learning algorithm.

최근 고층건축물에서 화재, 헬기 충돌, 지진, 부실시공 등으로 인하여 건축물 안전에 대한 문제가 대두되고 있는데 이러한 고층 콘크리트 건축물에 대한 보강을 위한 안전성을 평가하기 위해서는 콘크리트 강도에 대한 정보가 필수적이다. 이러한 강도를 평가하는 방법으로 코어채취 방법이 가장 효과적인 방법이다. 그런데 고강도 콘크리트 건축물인 경우 대부분 철근이 과밀하여 철근을 피하여 코어를 채취하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 경우에 따라서는 어쩔 수 없이 철근이 포함된 코어가 채취되는데 고강도 콘크리트 코어 강도를 평가하기 위한 연구나 규정은 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 철근이 포함된 고강도 콘크리트 코어에 대한 강도를 정확하게 평가할 수 있도록 정량적인 자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 이러한 연구를 수행하기 위하여 2종류의 콘크리트강도(40, 60MPa)와 2종류의 철근직경(10,13mm)을 대상으로 무배근을 포함한 총 15종류의 배근형식을 갖는 공시체를 준비 하였으며 압축강도 시험을 실시하였다. 결과적으로 철근 체적으로 $53.1cm^3$(직경 13mm인 철근이 4개)까지 철근이 포함된 공시체인 경우 무배근 공시체 강도의 60% 정도 까지 낮아 질 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, an Adaptive nerou-based inference system (ANFIS) is being used for the prediction of shear strength of high strength concrete (HSC) beams without stirrups. The input parameters comprise of tensile reinforcement ratio, concrete compressive strength and shear span to depth ratio. Additionally, 122 experimental datasets were extracted from the literature review on the HSC beams with some comparable cross sectional dimensions and loading conditions. A comparative analysis has been carried out on the predicted shear strength of HSC beams without stirrups via the ANFIS method with those from the CEB-FIP Model Code (1990), AASHTO LRFD 1994 and CSA A23.3 - 94 codes of design. The shear strength prediction with ANFIS is discovered to be superior to CEB-FIP Model Code (1990), AASHTO LRFD 1994 and CSA A23.3 - 94. The predictions obtained from the ANFIS are harmonious with the test results not accounting for the shear span to depth ratio, tensile reinforcement ratio and concrete compressive strength; the data of the average, variance, correlation coefficient and coefficient of variation (CV) of the ratio between the shear strength predicted using the ANFIS method and the real shear strength are 0.995, 0.014, 0.969 and 11.97%, respectively. Taking a look at the CV index, the shear strength prediction shows better in nonlinear iterations such as the ANFIS for shear strength prediction of HSC beams without stirrups.

When reinforced concrete structures are subjected to strong seismic forces, their beam-column connections are very susceptible to be damaged during the earthquake event. Consequently, structural designers try to fit an important quantity of steel reinforcement inside the connection, complicating its construction without a clear justification for this. The aim of this work is to evaluate -and demonstrate- numerically how the quantity and the array of the internal steel reinforcement influences on the nonlinear response of the RC beam-column connection. For this, two specimens (extracted from an experimental test of 12 RC beam-column connections reported in literature) were modeled in the Finite Element code FEAP considering different stirrup's arrays. The nonlinear response of the RC beam-column connection is evaluated taking into account the nonlinear thermodynamic behavior of each component: a damage model is used for concrete; a classical plasticity model is adopted for steel reinforcement; the steel-concrete bonding is considered perfect without degradation. At the end, the experimental responses obtained in the tests are compared to the numerical results, as well as the distribution of shear stresses and damage inside the concrete core of the beam-column connection, which are analyzed for a low and high state of confinement.

잔향이 많은 공간에서는 음성을 명확하게 알아 듣기 어렵다. 음성의 명료도를 확보하는 데는 자음이 중요하므로 잔향음에 비하여 직접음을 크게 하는 것이 중요하다. 잔향이 많은 공간에 음향 시스템을 적절하게 설계하면 흡음 처리하지 않고도 높은 명료도를 얻을 수 있었다. 지향성이 좁은 스피커를 사용하여도 사람이 앉아 있는 영역으로 음을 집중시킬 수 있어서 음성의 명료도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 잔향이 많은 공간에서도 실내를 흡음 처리하지 않고 스피커의 지향성을 제어하여 높은 명료도를 얻을 수 있음을 실험을 통하여 제시하였으며, 음향 시스템을 적절히 튜닝함으로써 명료도를 더욱 향상시킬 수 있는 것을 제시하였다.

Recent advances in machine learning approaches such as deep neural network and reinforcement learning offer significant performance improvements in generating detailed and varied motions in physically simulated virtual environments. The optimization methods are highly attractive because it allows for less understanding of underlying physics or mechanisms even for high-dimensional subtle control problems. In this paper, we propose an efficient learning method for stochastic policy represented as deep neural networks so that agent can generate various energetic motions adaptively to the changes of tasks and states without losing interactivity and robustness. This strategy could be realized by our novel trajectory search method motivated by the trust region policy optimization method. Our value-based trajectory smoothing technique finds stably learnable trajectories without consulting neural network responses directly. This policy is set as a trust region of the artificial neural network, so that it can learn the desired motion quickly.

This experimental study investigates the effectiveness of applying carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) jackets for the retrofit of short reinforced concrete (RC) columns with inadequate transverse reinforcement and stirrup spacing to longitudinal rebar diameter equal to 12. RC columns scaled at 1/3, with round and square section, were subjected to axial compression up to failure. A damage scale is introduced for the assessment of the damage severity, which focusses on the extent of buckling of the longitudinal rebars. The damaged specimens were subsequently repaired with unidirectional CFRP jackets without any treatment of the buckled reinforcing bars and were finally re-tested to failure. Test results indicate that CFRP jackets may be effectively applied to rehabilitate RC columns (a) with inadequate transverse reinforcement constructed according to older practices so as to meet modern code requirements, and (b) with moderately buckled bars without the need of previously repairing the reinforcement bars, an application technique which may considerably facilitate the retrofit of earthquake damaged RC columns. Factors for the estimation of the reduced mechanical properties of the repaired specimens compared to the respective values for intact CFRP-jacketed specimens, in relation to the level of damage prior to retrofit, are proposed both for the compressive strength and the average modulus of elasticity. It was determined that the compressive strength of the retrofitted CFRP-jacketed columns is reduced by 90% to 65%, while the average modulus of elasticity is lower by 60% to 25% in respect to similar undamaged columns jacketed with the same layers of CFRP.
