SDM (Structural Dynamics Modification) is a tool to improve dynamic characteristics of a structure, more specifically of a base structure, by adding or deleting auxiliary (modifying) structures. In this paper, the goal of the optimal SDM is set to maximize the natural frequency of a base plate structure by attaching serially-connected beam stiffeners. The design variables are chosen as positions of the attaching beam stiffeners, where the number of stiffeners is considered as a design space. The problem of non-matching interface nodes between the base plate and beam stiffeners is solved by using localized Lagrange multipliers, which act to glue the two structures with non-matching interface nodes. As fer the cases of non-matching interface nodes problem, the governing equation of motion of a structure can be considered from the viewpoint of a topological modification, which involves the change of the number of structural members and DOFs. Consequently, the eigenpairs of the beam-stiffened plate structure are obtained by using an eigen reanalysis technique of topological modifications. Evolution Strategies (ES), which is a probabilistic population-based optimization technique that mimics the principles from biological evolution in nature, is utilized as a mean for the optimization.

In this paper, an estimator scheme for the rotor speed and flux of an induction motor is proposed on the basis of a fourth-order electrical model. It is assumed that only the stator currents and voltages are measurable, and that the stator currents are bounded. There are a number of common terms in the motor dynamics, and this is utilized to find a simple error model involving some auxiliary variables. Using this error model, the state estimation problem is converted into a parameter estimation problem assuming that the rotor speed is constant. Some stability properties are given on the basis of Lyapunov analysis. In addition, the rotor resistance, which varies with the motor temperature, can also be estimated within the same framework. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated through computer simulations and experiments.

This article demonstrated the application of the Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analytical Hierarchy Process (FDEAHP) to evaluate the root causes of critical defect problems occurring in the production of liquid medicine. The methodology of the research began by collecting the defect data by using Check Sheets, and ranking the significant problems by using a Pareto Diagram. Two types of major problems were found to occur, including glass fragments in the medicine and damaged lid threads. The causes of each problem were then analyzed by using Cause and Effect Diagrams. The significant causes were ranked by FDEAHP under three criteria, Severity (S), Occurrence (O) and Detection (D), followed by the framework of the FMEA Technique. Two causes with the highest Final Weight (FW) of each problem were selected to be improved, such as installing auxiliary equipment, using the Poka-Yoke system, setting the scale of the shaft and lathing the bushes of each bottle size. The results demonstrated a reduction in defects from 3.209% to 1.669% and showed that improving a few significant root causes, identified by an experienced decision maker, was sufficient to reduce the defect rate.

We perform the task of video object segmentation by incorporating a conditional random field (CRF) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Most methods employ a CRF to refine a coarse output from fully convolutional networks. Others treat the inference process of the CRF as a recurrent neural network and then combine CNNs and the CRF into an end-to-end model for video object segmentation. In contrast to these methods, we propose a novel higher-order CRF model to solve the problem of video object segmentation. Specifically, we use CNNs to establish a higher-order dependence among pixels, and this dependence can provide critical global information for a segmentation model to enhance the global consistency of segmentation. In general, the optimization of the higher-order energy is extremely difficult. To make the problem tractable, we decompose the higher-order energy into two parts by utilizing auxiliary variables and then solve it by using an iterative process. We conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses on multiple datasets, and the proposed method achieves competitive results.

Cavity expansion is a classical problem in the field of solid mechanics with a wide range of applications in geotechnical and petroleum engineering. A drained solution is developed for cylindrical cavity expansion in anisotropic soils under biaxial in-situ stresses using a K0-based anisotropic modified Cam-clay model (K0-AMCC). The problem is formulated by solving differential equations using an auxiliary variable, which provides analytical expressions for the volume and four stress components of the soil around the cylindrical cavity. The solution is validated by comparisons with existing well-developed solutions. The results show that the present solution well captures the cavity expansion responses in anisotropic soils under biaxial in-situ stresses, and removes limiting assumptions that the cylindrical cavity expands under uniform in-situ stress in isotropic soils. The elastic-plastic boundary of the expanding cylindrical cavity in K0-consolidated anisotropic soils under biaxial in-situ stresses is a circle rather than an ellipse in isotropic soils, and the mathematical proof is provided in detail.

최근 보조기억장치 스토리지 시장 추세는 HDD와 SSD가 혼용되어 사용되고 있다. 미래에는 HDD보다 SSD가 보조기억장치 역할로 더욱 많이 사용될 것으로 예상되고 있다. SSD 기술이 발달하면서 이를 효율적으로 사용하기 위해 TRIM 명령기법이 나오게 되었다. TRIM 명령기법은 과거 SSD의 문제점인 Freezing 현상을 해결하기 위해 나온 명령으로 운영체제와 SSD가 협동하여 작동한다. TRIM 명령기법은 사용자가 데이터를 삭제하였을 때 SSD 내부에서도 실제로 삭제하는 기법으로 유휴시간에 수행한다. 하지만, 디지털 포렌식 관점에서 본다면 디지털 범죄는 매년 급증하지만 데이터 미복구로 인한 검거율은 미흡하다. 본 논문에서는 기존 TRIM 명령의 장점인 안정성(Freezing Solution)과 쓰기 속도를 최대한 지원하며 선별적으로 데이터를 관리하여 삭제하는 기법을 제안한다. 실험을 통해 기존 기법과 선별된 기법의 성능을 측정하여 검증한다.

본 논문에서는 음향반향제거기에서 상관계수를 이용하여 동시통화 구간을 검출할 때 발생하는 검출 오류에 대하여 다룬다. 상관계수(correlation coefficient)를 이용한 동시통화 검출 알고리즘에서 동시통가와 반향경로의 변화를 명확하게 구분 지울 수 있는 문턱값 설정이 어렵기 때문에 때때로 검출 오류가 발생한다. 반향경로의 변화를 동시통화로 잘못 판단하면 적응필터의 탭 갱신이 멈추어져 더 이상 수렴할 수 없는 상황에 빠지기도 하고, 동시통화 중에 반향경로가 변하는 경우에는 동시통화 구간의 끝점 검출에 실패하기도 한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문께서는 반향제거기에 보조필터를 적용하여 동시통화와 반향경로의 변화를 구분할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 이는 기준입력신호 (reference signal)로부터 반향신호는 추정할 수 있지만 근단화자 신호는 추정할 수 없다는 점을 이용한다. 실험을 통해 제안한 시스템 및 알고리즘이 동시통화 검출 오류와 이로 인해 발생하는 문제점을 효율적으로 해결할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

지하수위의 영향을 받는 지반에 대하여 터파기를 실시할 경우 차수문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 현장타설말뚝 공법인 CIP (Cast-In-Place Pile) 공법이 보편적으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 CIP 공법은 말뚝간 연결성이 좋지 않아 많은 경우 차수에 대한 별도의 처리를 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 수중불분리성과 침투성을 향상시켜주는 계면활성제(Hi-FA)를 활용한 그라우트를 사용하여 기존 CIP 공법 대비 보조차수 공법의 필요성을 최소화한 새로운 개념의 흙막이 공법(H-CIP)을 제시하고, 이 공법의 현장 적용성에 대하여 검토하였다. 현장 검증실험을 위하여 동일한 지반조건에 대하여 H-CIP 공법과 기존 CIP 공법으로 각각 차수벽을 시공하고, 성능검증을 위한 현장시험 및 실내시험을 수행하였다. 현장 실험결과 새로 제안된 H-CIP 공법은 기존 CIP 공법에 비하여 현장 차수능과 강도가 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, a new architecture for a cost-effective power conditioning systems (PCS) using a single-sourced asymmetric cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (MLI) for photovoltaic (PV) applications is proposed. The asymmetric MLI topology has a reduced number of parts compared to the symmetrical type for the same number of voltage level. However, the modulation index threshold related to the drop in the number of levels of the inverter output is higher than that of the symmetrical MLI. This problem results in a modulation index limitation which is relatively higher than that of the symmetrical MLI. Hence, an extra voltage pre-regulator becomes a necessary component in the PCS under a wide operating bias variation. In addition to pre-stage voltage regulation for the constant MLI dc-links, another auxiliary pre-regulator should provide isolation and voltage balance among the multiple H-bridge cells in the asymmetrical MLI as well as the symmetrical ones. The proposed PCS uses a single-ended DC-DC converter topology with a coupled inductor and charge-pump circuit to satisfy all of the aforementioned requirements. Since the proposed integrated-type voltage pre-regulator circuit uses only a single MOSFET switch and a single magnetic component, the size and cost of the PCS is an optimal trade-off. In addition, the voltage balance between the separate H-bridge cells is automatically maintained by the number of turns in the coupled inductor transformer regardless of the duty cycle, which eliminates the need for an extra voltage regulator for the auxiliary H-bridge in MLIs. The voltage balance is also maintained under the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Thus, the PCS is also operational during light load conditions. The proposed architecture can apply the module-integrated converter (MIC) concept to perform distributed MPPT. The proposed architecture is analyzed and verified for a 7-level asymmetric MLI, using simulation results and a hardware implementation.

전기화재의 주된 원인은 단락 및 과부하 사고, 누전 및 접촉불량 등으로 구분되며, 화재의 발생요인은 이들 사고에서 동반되는 아크나 스파크로 인한 화재가 대다수이다. 저압배전선로에 사용되는 고감도형 누전차단기는 누전과 과부하를 검출하여 차단하는 기능은 있으나, 전기화재의 직접적인 위험요소인 아크나 스파크 현상에 대한 차단기능은 없는 것으로 분석된다. 이것은 저압 분전반에 적용되는 누전차단기의 경우 정격차단시간이 30[ms](KS C 4613)로 정해져 있어, 더욱 낮은 레벨로 주기적으로 발생되는 아크나 스파크를 감지하지 못하기 때문이다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 전기화재에 기인되는 아크나 스파크에 대해 누전차단기를 트립시키는 보조제어장치를 제안하고, 제안된 보조제어장치의 이론적 해석과 실험측정을 통해 그 타당성을 입증시킨다.
