In this study, we analyzed a cold draw (CD) bar packaging automation facility to examine its structural safety. The structural analysis focused on the frame part of the automatic packing machine for the CD round rod widely used in the industrial field, as well as the package supply device, banding suit, and crane part. As a result, we concluded that the structural safety for the banding suit, crane, and package supply device have been secured (safety factors of 9.8, 7.5, and 14.5, respectively). In addition, the safety factor of the transfer was 4.0.

Surrogate models aim to approximate the performance function with an active-learning design of experiments (DoE) to obtain a sufficiently accurate prediction of the performance function's sign for an inexpensive computational demand in reliability analysis. Nevertheless, many existing active-learning methods are limited to the Kriging model, while the uncertainties of the Kriging itself affect the reliability analysis results. Moreover, the existing general active-learning methods may not achieve a fully satisfactory balance between accuracy and efficiency. Therefore, a novel active-learning method GLM-CM is constructed to yield the issues, which conciliates several merits of existing methods. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, four examples, concerning both mathematical and engineering problems, were selected. By benchmarking obtained results with literature findings, various surrogate models combined with the proposed method not only provide an accurate reliability evaluation while highly alleviating the computational burden, but also provides a satisfactory balance between accuracy and efficiency compared to the other reliability methods.

A design method of second generation wavelet (SGW)-based multivariable finite elements is proposed for static and vibration beam analysis. An important property of SGWs is that they can be custom designed by selecting appropriate lifting coefficients depending on the application. The SGW-based multivariable finite element equations of static and vibration analysis of beam problems with two and three kinds of variables are derived based on the generalized variational principles. Compared to classical finite element method (FEM), the second generation wavelet-based multivariable finite element method (SGW-MFEM) combines the advantages of high approximation performance of the SGW method and independent solution of field functions of the MFEM. A multiscale algorithm for SGW-MFEM is presented to solve structural engineering problems. Numerical examples demonstrate the proposed method is a flexible and accurate method in static and vibration beam analysis.

The analysis conditions were established using the self-weight of the FCT automation equipment, and natural frequency analysis was performed under the same conditions. For the structural analysis, 3D modeling was performed using Inventor, and structural analysis was performed using the Ansys workbench. From the structural analysis, it was concluded that the resulting values of the stress and deformation of the equipment do not affect the equipment. From the dynamic analysis, the resonance does not occur in the equipment driving area, and thus it is judged to be stable.

The active learning surrogate model based on adaptive sampling strategy is increasingly popular in reliability analysis. However, most of the existing sampling strategies adopt the trial and error method to determine the size of the Monte Carlo (MC) candidate sample pool which satisfies the requirement of variation coefficient of failure probability. It will lead to a reduction in the calculation efficiency of reliability analysis. To avoid this defect, a new method for determining the optimal size of the MC candidate sample pool is proposed, and a new structural reliability analysis method combining polynomial chaos-based Kriging model (PC-Kriging) with adaptive sampling region is also proposed (PCK-ASR). Firstly, based on the lower limit of the confidence interval, a new method for estimating the optimal size of the MC candidate sample pool is proposed. Secondly, based on the upper limit of the confidence interval, an adaptive sampling region strategy similar to the radial centralized sampling method is developed. Then, the k-means++ clustering technique and the learning function LIF are used to complete the adaptive design of experiments (DoE). Finally, the effectiveness and accuracy of the PCK-ASR method are verified by three numerical examples and one practical engineering example.

Nowadays there are numerous factors to design the structure even for simple one, but many parts of the work are similar to the existing or repeated simply. In this case, design of the structure is unnecessarily needed lots of effort and time. To solve difficulties of design, an integrated design automation system for retaining wall structures that widely used is developed. The automation system consists of following items, 1) XML data structure between modules, 2) CAD visualization system to provide drawing sheets, 3) excel solution to provide structural design sheets and bills of quantity, 4) design logic to analysis and calculate behaviors of structure, and 5) GUI to represent data and results for the program.

최근 항공 산업이 활성화됨에 따라 복합재 관련 해석 소프트웨어의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 복합재 해석은 전문적인 구조 해석 및 시험 평가가 필요하다. 따라서 복합재 구조 해석을 위해서는 기존의 상용 소프트웨어를 사용할 수밖에 없으나 기존의 상용 소프트웨어들은 제한적인 기능만을 제공하고 있다. 특히 항공기 복합재 스파 구조물의 코너 부 구조 해석에 특화된 소프트웨어는 전무하기 때문에 구조 해석에 많은 인적 자원과 시간이 소비되고 있다. 이를 해소하기 위해서 기존의 코너 부 구조 해석 절차를 반영하고 복수의 파손 기준을 제공하는 사용자 친화적인 GUI 기반의 자동화 소프트웨어를 개발하였다. 개발한 소프트웨어의 구조 해석 결과에 대한 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해 기존의 구조 해석 결과와 비교한 결과, 구조 해석 성능에 문제가 없음을 확인하였다.

RIKEN Structural Genomics Beamlines have been constructed for the crystallographic analysis in the structural genomics research at synchrotron radiation facility SPring-8. Synchrotron radiation accelerates the crystallographic analysis of protein structure. The target of the research and development is focused on the automatic beamline operation to maximize beamline efficiency. We are developing the sample management system, which is composed of the sample auto-changer and the database system, for high-throughput data collection. The sample management system and the beamline operating system make it possible to execute automatic data collection without any operators. The beamlines will be ready for user operation in autumn 2002. The concept of automatic beamline operation and the present status of RIKEN Structural Genomics Beamlines will be presented.

The attention in construction Automation is getting higher since it could be the answer to the lack of skilled labor by decrease in construction population and aging which adversely affects productivity and quality in the construction site. We are on the way to develop a construction automation system adequate for domestic circumstances in Korea; it is called RCA(Robotic-crane based Construction Automation)system. Climbing hydraulic robots system is a part of RCA system and makes Construction factory(CF) climb through the guide rail on the core wall. The safety of climbing hydraulic robots system is at issue due to the overloaded weight of CF. Preventing this issue, present study did the design verification through the structural analysis and the simulation. Mock-up test also was done to analyze the drive performance of climbing hydraulic robots system.
