In finite element analysis, engineering optimizations are divided two major parts that are topology and structural optimization. Until these days most structural optimizations usually concentrate on single disciplinary optimization. Therefore numerical analysis and methodology which can optimize thermo-elastic creep and frequency phenomena are not suggested. In this paper finite element analysis methodology and algorithm of thermo -elastic creep and frequency optimizations are suggested and corroborate the efficiency of suggested new numerical methodology and algorithm by solving example problem.

A numerical study on the Stefan problem occurred in cryosurgery is performed. Crank-Nicholson type finite difference algorithm based on the enthaly method is adapted to solve the phase change problem in this study. As it is a moving boundary problem, special emphasis is put on the estimation of the freezing front location. Two cases selected here are freezings of human tissue by disk type cryoprobe and by hemispherical one. In both cases, the heat flows are considered to be one dimensional. The calculated results using enthalpy method are compared with those using the program TRUMP and with Neumann's solution. These results agree guite well with each other. While it is pretty difficult to get accurate freezing front location by TRUMP due to the so- called "phase change knee" occured during the phase change, the algorithm based on the enthalpy method is proved to be very powerful to cope with this kind of problem.f problem.

This article focuses on stability analysis and fuzzy controller synthesis for large neural network (NN) systems consisting of several interconnected subsystems represented by the NN model. Advanced and fuzzy NN differential inclusion (NNDI) for stability based on the developed algorithm with H infinity can be designed based on the evolved biological design. This representation is constructed using sector linearity for NN models. Sector linearity transforms a non-linear model into a linear model based on proposed operations. New sufficient conditions are realized in the form of LMI (linear matrix inequalities) to ensure the asymptotic stability of the trans-Lyapunov function. This transforms the nonlinear model into a linear model based on multiple rules. At last, a numerical case study with simulations is derived as illustration to prove its feasibility in real nonlinear structures.

In this work, we propose combining an advanced optimal control algorithm with a geometrically exact beam model. For simplicity, the 2D Reissner beam model is chosen to represent large displacements and rotations. The difficulty pertains to the nonlinear nature of beam kinematics affecting the tangent stiffness matrix, making it non-constant, which compromises direct use of optimal control methods for linear problems. Thus, we seek to accommodate a time varying control using linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) algorithm with the proposed geometrically nonlinear beam model. We provide a detailed theoretical formulation and its numerical implementation in a variational format form. Several illustrative numerical examples are provided to confirm an excellent performance of the proposed methodology.

A new finite elemetn approach is introduced for direct prediction of bland shapes and strain distributions from desired final shapes in sheet metal forming. The approach deals with the geometric compatibility of finite elements, plastic deformation theory, minimization of plastic work with constraints, and a proper initial guess. The algorithm developed is applied to cylindrical cup drawing, square cup drawing, and fron fender forming to confirm its validity by demonstratin reasonable accurate numerical results of each problems. Rapid calculation with this algorithm enables easy determination of various process variables for design of sheet metal forming process.

This paper describes an algorithm for Advanced Emergency Braking(AEB) with tire-road friction coefficient estimation. The AEB is a system to avoid a collision or mitigate a collision impact by decelerating the car automatically when forward collision is imminent. Typical AEB system is operated by Time-to-collision(TTC), which considers only relative velocity and clearance from control vehicle to preceding vehicle. AEB operation by TTC has a limit that tire-road friction coefficient is not considered. In this paper, Tire-road friction coefficient is also considered to achieve more safe operation of AEB. Interacting Multiple Model method(IMM) is used for Tire-road friction coefficient estimation. The AEB algorithm consists of friction coefficient estimator and upper level controller and lower level controller. The numerical simulation has been conducted to demonstrate the control performance of the proposed AEB algorithm. The simulation study has been conducted with a closed-loop driver-controller-vehicle system using using MATLAB-Simulink software and CarSim Vehicle model.

This paper presents an efficient algorithm for loss reduction of distribution system by automatic sectionalizing switch operation in large scale distribution systems of radial type. Simulated Annealing algorithm among optimization techniques can avoid escape from local minima by accepting improvements in cost, but the use of this algorithm is also responsible for an excessive computation time requirement. To overcome this major limitation of Simulated Annealing algorithm, we may use advanced Simulated Annealing algorithm. All constaints are divided into two constraint group by using perturbation mechanism and penalty factor, so all trail solutions are feasible. The polynomial-time cooling schedule is used which is based on the statistics calculation during the search. This approaches results in saving CPU time. Numerical examples demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

This paper investigates a synchronization algorithm for a distributed network which does not have a centralized infrastructure. In order to operate a distributed network, synchronization across distributed terminals should be acquired in advance, and hence, a plenty of distributed synchronization algorithms have been studied extensively in the past. However, most of the previous studies focus on the synchronization only in fault-free networks. Thus, if there are some malfunctioning terminals in the network, the synchronization can not be guaranteed with conventional distributed synchronization methods. In this paper, we propose a reliability-based adaptive consensus algorithm which can effectively acquire the synchronization across distributed terminals and confirm performance of the proposed algorithm by conducting numerical simulations.

Limit analysis has been rendered versatile in many problems such as structural problems and metal forming problems. In metal forming analysis, a slip-line method and an upper bound method approach to limit solutions is considered as the most challenging areas. In the present work, a general algorithm for limit solutions of plastic flow is developed with the use of finite element limit analysis. The algorithm deals with a generalized Holder inequality, a duality theorem, and a combined smoothing and successive approximation in addition to a general procedure for finite element analysis. The algorithm is robust such that from any initial trial solution, the first iteration falls into a convex set which contains the exact solution(s) of the problem. The idea of the algorithm for limit solution is extended from rigid/perfectly-plastic materials to work-hardening materials by the nature of the limit formulation, which is also robust with numerically stable convergence and highly efficient computing time.

We performed a research to improve the performance of active bar model which is used in tracking algorithm. Active bar model is a simplified model of snake model. If we used the sctive bar model, the numerical procedure for real time tracking problem can be carried out faster than snake model. However the demerit of active bar algorithms is that we can't used the provious image data because each time it has to reconstruct the active bar. In this paper we proposed advanced algorithm for active bar model. The proposed model can improve tracking abilities by preserving the active bar during the process and changing the energy functional.
