In the past, physical models have been proposed, in compliance with the concept of the compressive-force path, for the realistic design of various statically determinate structural concrete members. The present work extends these models so as to encompass indeterminate RC structural forms. Pilot tests conducted on continuous beams and fixed-ended portal frames have revealed that designing such members to present-day concepts may lead to brittle types of failure. On the other hand, similar members designed on the basis of the proposed physical models attained very ductile failures. It appears that, unlike current design approaches, the compressive-force path concept is capable of identifying those areas where failure is most likely to be triggered, and ensures better load redistribution, thus improving ductility. The beneficial effect of proper detailing at the point of contraflexure in an indeterminate RC member is to be noted.

Artificial potential field (APF) is a widely used method for local path planning of autonomous mobile robot. So far, many different types of APF have been implemented. Once the artificial potential functions are selected, how to choose appropriate parameters of the functions is also an important work. In this paper, a detailed analysis is given on how to choose proper parameters of artificial functions to eliminate free path local minima and avoid collision between robots and obstacles. Two kinds of potential functions: Gaussian type and Quadratic type of potential functions are used to solve the above local minima problem respectively. To avoid local minima occurred in realistic situations such as 1) a case that the potential of the goal is affected excessively by potential of the obstacle, 2) a case that the potential of the obstacle is affected excessively by potential of the goal, the design guidelines for selecting appropriate parameters of potential functions are proposed.

자율 운송 장치나 이동 로보트에 대한 경로 이동 문제는 이동하고자 하는 환경을 완전히 알고 있거나, 장애물이 고정된것으로 가정해 왔다. 따라서, 임의의 환경에 대해 부분적으로 알고 있거나 미지의 환경에서의 자율 운송 장치의 운항을 위해서는 이들 경로 기법은 직접적인 적용이 불가능하고, 확장이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 이들 문제점을 개선하기 위해서 쿼드트리 기법을 도입하였으며, 임의의 환경에서 자율적으 로 경로 계획을 할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였고, 알고리즘의 타당성을 시뮬레이션 을 통해 증명하였다.

We develop in this work a new well-balanced preserving-positivity path-conservative central-upwind scheme for Saint-Venant-Exner (SVE) model. The SVE system (SVEs) under some considerations, is a nonconservative hyperbolic system of nonlinear partial differential equations. This model is widely used in coastal engineering to simulate the interaction of fluid flow with sediment beds. It is well known that SVEs requires a robust treatment of nonconservative terms. Some efficient numerical schemes have been proposed to overcome the difficulties related to these terms. However, the main drawbacks of these schemes are what follows: (i) Lack of robustness, (ii) Generation of non-physical diffusions, (iii) Presence of instabilities within numerical solutions. This collection of drawbacks weakens the efficiency of most numerical methods proposed in the literature. To overcome these drawbacks a reformulation of the central-upwind scheme for SVEs (CU-SVEs for short) in a path-conservative version is presented in this work. We first develop a finite-volume method of the first order and then extend it to the second order via the averaging essentially non oscillatory (AENO) framework. Our numerical approach is shown to be well-balanced positivity-preserving and shock-capturing. The resulting scheme could be seen as a predictor-corrector method. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed scheme are assessed through a carefully selected suite of tests.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a method for evaluation of varying stiffness coefficients of tailored conical shells (TCS). Furthermore, a comparison between buckling loads of these shells under axial load with the different fiber path is performed. A circular truncated conical shell subjected to axial compression is taken into account. Three different theoretical path containing geodesic path, constant curvature path and constant angle path has been considered to describe the angle variation along the cone length, along cone generator of a conical shell are offered. In the TCS with the arbitrary fiber path, the thickness and the ply orientation are assumed to be functions of the shell coordinates and influencing stiffness coefficients of the structure. The stiffness coefficients and the buckling loads of shells are calculated basing on classical shells theory (CST) and using finite-element analysis (FEA) software. The obtained results for TCS with arbitrary fiber path, thickness and ply orientation are derived as functions of shell longitudinal coordinate and influencing stiffness coefficients of structures. Furthermore, the buckling loads based on fiber path and ply orientation at the start of tailored fiber get to be different. The extent of difference for tailored fiber with start angle lower than 20 degrees is not significant. The results in this paper show that using tailored fiber placement could be applied for producing conical shells in order to have greater buckling strengths and lower weight. This work demonstrates the use of fiber path definitions for calculated stiffness coefficients and buckling loads of conical shells.

다중 경로 라우팅 방식은 유선 네트워크에서 주로 연구되었으며 유선 네트워크에서의 엔드 시스템들 사이의 전송률을 증가시키고 load balancing을 유지하는데 효율적이다. 하지만 이런 장점들은 무선 다중 흡 네트워크에서는 그대로 적용되지는 않는다. 그 이유는 무선 네트워크에서 여러 개의 다중 트래픽 경로가 서로 간섭을 줄 수 있기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 무선 다중 홉 네트워크에서 동작하는 "클러스터 기반의 다중 경로 라우팅"이라고 하는 새로운 다중 경로 라우팅 방식을 제안하였다. 이 라우팅 방식에서는 홉 기반의 라우팅 방식을 확장하여 클러스터에서 클러스터로의 라우팅 방식을 사용한다. 클러스터 기반의 네트워크에서 각 클러스터들은 서로 독립적으로 통신을 진행할 수 있고 또 서로 다른 클러스터들과의 신호간섭을 피할 수 있게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 클러스터의 특징을 이용하여 소스 노드와 목적지 노드 사이에 서로 간섭이 없는 다중경로 방식을 연구하였으며 또한 제안된 방식을 적용할 경우에 엔드 시스템들 사이에 전송률이 증가하는 것을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 알아보았다.

최근 넓은 활동 범위를 제공하고 작업 환경의 변화에 능동적으로 대처하기 위해 자율 이동 로봇에 대한 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 이 논문은 이동로봇이 장애물을 회피하여 최단 경로를 통해 목적지에 도착할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 유용성을 검증하도록 한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 micro-GA와 $\lambda$-geometry MRA을 사용한 알고리즘이다. 시뮬레이션 영역은 320(가로)$\times$200(세로) 픽셀로 제한하고, 한 픽셀의 단위를 1cm로 하였다. $\lambda$-geometry MRA 만을 사용하여 경로를 계획했을 경우에는 경로 계획을 위한 방향성은 제공하였지만 최단 거리 경로는 제공하지 못했다. 반면 micro-GA를 함께 사용했을 경우에는 최단 경로 탐색이 가능하였다. 따라서 제안된 알고리즘은 경로의 방향성과 함께 최단 경로 탐색을 제공하고 있다.

The work is intended to demonstrate that the loss of bond between concrete and flexural steel which led in recent years a number of flat-slab structures to punching collapse under service loading conditions is also relevant to ultimate limit-state design. It is based on a comparative study of the results obtained from numerical experiments on flat slab-column sub-assemblages. The slabs were designed for punching either in compliance with the EC2 code requirements, which do not allow for such loss of bond, or in accordance with the compressive force-path method which considers the loss of bond between concrete and the flexural reinforcement in tension as the primary cause of punching. The numerical experiments are carried out through the use of a nonlinear finite element analysis package for which, although ample published evidence of its validity exists, additional proof of its suitability for the purposes of the present work is presented.

Cylindrical Cam Mechanism is widely used in the fields of industries, such as machine tool exchangers, textile machinery. This paper proposes a method for manufacturing of cylindrical cam in Multi CNC machining center. Multi CNC machining center has two different types depending on the tilting axis. For the manufacturing procedures. in this paper the location and the orientation of cutter path are defined from shape design data of cam. The integral NC code fur the both types of multi-axis CNC machining center can be created using the coordinates mapping between design coordinates and work coordinates. Finally, CAD/CAM program is developed on $C^{＋＋}$ language. This program can display manufacturing and kinematics simulation, which can make integral NC code for multi-axis CNC machining center of two types.
