Collaborative optimization (CO) is a multi-level decomposed methodology for a large-scale multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO). CO is known to have computational and organizational advantages. Its decomposed architecture removes a necessity of direct communication among disciplines, guaranteeing their autonomy. However, CO has several problems at convergence characteristics and computation time. In this study, such features are discussed and some suggestions are made to improve the performance of CO. Only for the system level optimization, genetic algorithm is used and gradient-based method is used for subspace optimizers. Moreover, response surface models are replaced as analyses in subspaces. In this manner, CO is applied to aero-structural design problems of the aircraft wing and its results are compared with the multidisciplinary feasible (MDF) method and the original CO. Through these results, it is verified that the suggested approach improves convergence characteristics and offers a proper solution.

This paper presents a velocity-synchronizing control for the multiple axes of an injection unit; based on MBS, a virtual design model has been developed for the multiple-axes servomechanism. Prior to the design of the controller, a linear plant model was derived via open-loop response simulations. To synchronize the motions of the multiple axes, a cross-type synchronizing controller was designed and combined with the PID control to accommodate any parameter mismatches among the multiple axes. From the tracking control simulations, a significant reduction of both velocity-tracking and position-tracking errors was achieved through the use of the proposed control scheme.

In this paper, a co-design method for JPEG2000 video compression system using DSP and FPGA is presented. By profiling the complexity of JPEG2000 algorithm, it is noticed that a MQ-coder is the most complex part. Thus, we implement the MQ-coder on FPGA for the parallel processing using VHDL to reduce the complexity. In order to verify the performance of the MQ-coder, JBIG2 standard test vector and images are used. The experimental results show that the proposed MQ-coder enhances the processing time approximately 3 times compared with the previous software MQ-coder.

$Mn_{1+X}Co_{2-X}O_4$ solid solutions with various Mn/Co ratios were synthesized by a combustion method, and used as cathode catalysts for lithium/air secondary battery. Their electrochemical and physicochemical properties were investigated. The morphology was examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the crystallinity was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. For the measurement of electrochemical properties, charge and discharge measurements were carried out at a constant current density of $0.2mA/cm^2$, monitoring the voltage change. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analyses were also employed to examine the change in charge transfer resistance during charge-discharge process. $Mn_{1+X}Co_{2-X}O_4$ solid solutions showed enhanced cycleability as a cathode of Li/air secondary battery, and the performance was found to be strongly dependent on Mn/Co ratio. Among synthesized catalysts, $Mn_{1.5}Co_{1.5}O_4$ exhibited the best performance and cycleability, due to high charge transfer rate.

It is very important to evaluate predictable problems diversely such as stability of a tunnel and structures when tunnel is inevitably constructed in the area where is adjacent to a structure and low overburden. Double electrified railway design on the third section of Donghae-Nambu line studied in this paper has some problems mentioned above. So more careful works are required before construction. In this study, ground surrounding is composed of faults, fault zone and set back about 13m from a Buddhist temple located on the upper part of the tunnel. From these conditions, this case study presents proper methods considering ground condition, effects of blasting and civil petitions. It is tried to make the tunnel and Buddhist temple stable by analytical technique and analysis of existing cases. And design considering stability of tunnel and adjacent structure during operation is carried out as well. Especially, environmentally friendly railway tunnel which is appropriate to the local condition and surroundings is designed by minimizing noise and vibration that is able to occur during construction and train service. From now on, this study is helpful to better design in the case of tunnel design which has to consider civil petition.

TR module using in satellite must consider discriminative electrical and mechanical requirements compare to the one using in ground and aircraft system since not only the environment level of vibration and shock during the launch stage but also the level of radiation, vacuum and thermal variation from orbit environment are more severe than atmosphere condition. This paper describes the environmental conditions of launch and the orbit and, suggests design method of TR module applying GaN to satisfy the unique environmental requirements of satellite systems by especially focusing on parts selection, derating design, RF budget design, manufacturing process design, and thermal design of TR module.

Development of electronic warfare(EW) software has become increasingly challenging due to stricter regulations, shorter development cycles, and increased reliability testing. Consequently, software development often proceeds without proper architecture design, which can lead to missing critical quality requirements and potential system redesigns. In this study, we propose using Attribute-Driven Design(ADD) 3.0 to design software architecture specifically tailored for EW systems, enabling a more systematic approach to address quality requirements. The paper presents an overview of EW software and ADD 3.0 methodology, followed by an analysis of the architecture design results using static and dynamic views. The paper concludes by discussing the effectiveness of the proposed architecture design.

This paper presents the feasibility study on $CO_2$ carrier for carbon dioxide marine geological storage. Conceptual design was carried out to acquire $CO_2$ carriers by retrofitting existing vessels and new ship-building. Based on conceptual design, the acquisition cost of $CO_2$ carriers was estimated. Finally, necessary expense and number of ships were estimated based on operational plans for the assumed scenario.

To check feasibility of SEWGS(Sorption Enhanced Water Gas Shift) system, conceptual design and sensitivity analysis of operating variables have been investigated based on a design program of two-interconnected fluidized bed. Based on the conceptual design results, the optimum configuration for SEWGS was considered. Among three configurations, bubbling beds system was selected as the best configuration. Process design results indicate that the SEWGS system is compact and feasible. Based on the selected operating conditions, the effects of variables such as pressure, $CO_2$ capture capacity, solid inventory, CO conversion and $CO_2$ capture efficiency have been investigated as well.
