Global air traffic is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of around 5% in the next 20 years. The continuous growth of air traffic and raised environmental awareness put increasing pressure on aero engine manufacturers to reduce fuel burn and emissions. NEWAC are a new integrated program of the European Union with focus on innovative core engine concepts to achieve this problem. In this paper, Within NEWAC, active core engine configurations will be investigated. the investigation is focused on the optimal design of the CAC heat exchanger for active core. For optimal design of he CAC heat exchanger, the HTFS of basic design of heat exchanger are analyzed so as to proceed an optimization routines based on Response Surface Method(RSM) and Design of Experiment(DOE). As a result, CAC heat exchanger optimized by 1.0314 lb/s mass flow rate and 3.9058 mm TP of tube layout and 206.8181 mm height of heat exchanger and 918 tube number for heat transfer and pressure drop. We confirm the design optimization using RSM and DOE is useful on complex structure of heat exchanger.

The ingenuity of structural engineers in the field of tall and super-tall buildings has led to some of the most remarkable inventions. During this evolution of structural engineering concepts in the last 100 years, the technical challenges that engineers encountered were extraordinary and the advances were unprecedented. However, as the accomplishments of structural engineers are progressing, the desire for taller and safer structures is also increasing. The diagrid structural system is part of this evolving process as it develops a new paradigm for tall building design combining engineering efficiency and new architectural expression. The first appearances of this type of tall buildings have already been constructed and the interest of both engineering and architectural communities is growing mainly due to the many advantages compared to other structural systems. This paper presents a simple approach on optimizing member sizes for the diagonals of steel diagrid tall buildings. The optimizing method is based on minimizing the volume of the diagonal elements of a diagrid structure. The constraints are coming from the stiffness-based design, limiting the tip deflection of the building to widely accepted regulative limits. In addition, the current paper attempts to open the discussion on the important topic of optimization and robustness for tall buildings and also studies the future of the diagrid structural system.

In this paper the system dynamic influences in actuators with variable stiffness as contemporary used in robotics for safety and efficiency reasons are investigated. Therefore, different configurations of serial and parallel elasticities are modeled by dynamic equations and linearized transfer functions. The latter ones are used to identify the characteristic behavior of the different systems and to study the effect of the different elasticities. As such actuation concepts are often used to reach energy-efficient operation, a power consumption analysis of the configurations is performed. From the comparison of this with the system dynamics, strategies to select and control stiffness are derived. Those are based on matching the natural frequencies or antiresonance modes of the actuation system to the frequency of the trajectory. Results show that exclusive serial and parallel elasticity can minimize power consumption when tuning the system to the natural frequencies. Antiresonance modes are an additional possibility for stiffness control in the series elastic setup. Configurations combining both types of elasticities do not provide further advantages regarding power reduction but an input parallel elasticity might enable for more versatile stiffness selection. Yet, design and control effort increase in such solutions. Topologies incorporating output parallel elasticity showed not to be beneficial in the chosen example but might do so in specific applications.

In the present study, an efficient method for the optimum design of three-dimensional (3D) steel framed structures is proposed. In this method, in addition to choosing the best position of columns based on architectural requirements, the optimum cross-sectional dimensions of elements are determined. The preliminary design variables are considered as the number of columns in structural plan, which are determined by a direct optimization method suitable for discrete variables, without requiring the evaluation of derivatives. After forming the geometry of structure, the main variables of the cross-sectional dimensions are evaluated, which satisfy the design constraints and also achieve the least-weight of the structure. To reduce the number of finite element analyses and the overall computational time, a new third order approximate function is introduced which employs only the diagonal elements of the higher order derivatives matrices. This function produces a high quality approximation and also, a robust optimization process. The main feature of the proposed techniques that the higher order derivatives are established by the first order exact derivatives. Several examples are solved and efficiency of the new approximation method and also, the proposed method for the best position of columns in 3D steel framed structures is discussed.

Being aware of the risk in advance necessitates intricate processes but is feasible. Although previous studies have demonstrated high accuracy, their performance still leaves room for improvement. A self-organizing feature map (SOM) based neurofuzzy model is developed in this study to provide another alternative for forecasting corporate financial distress. The model is designed to yield high prediction accuracy, as well as reference rules for evaluating corporate financial status. As a database, the study collects all financial reports from listed construction companies during the latest decade, resulting in over 1000 effective samples. The proportion of "failed" and "non-failed" companies is approximately 1:2. Each financial report is comprised of 25 ratios which are set as the input variable s. The proposed model integrates the concepts of pattern classification, fuzzy modeling and SOM-based optimization to predict corporate financial distress. The results exhibit a high accuracy rate at 85.1%. This model outperforms previous tools. A total of 97 rules are extracted from the proposed model which can be also used as reference for construction practitioners. Users may easily identify their corporate financial status by using these rules.

사회기반시설물은 적절한 수명관리를 통해 경제적이고 안전한 구조성능을 유지한다. 일반적으로 최적화 기법을 적용하여, 유지보수의 시점과 방법을 결정하게 되는데, 이 적용에 있어서 단일 목적함수만을 고려하기 보다는 다수의 목적함수를 동시에 고려하는 것이 보다 합리적인 의사결정을 유도한다. 최근까지 수명관리에 관련한 연구는 생애주기 비용 최소화 또는 구조성능 최대화와 관련한 목적함수를 적용하여 왔으며, 새로운 확률론적 구조성능 및 안전성 평가 기법을 이용하여 다양한 형태의 목적함수를 개발/적용하고 있다. 이러한 다수의 목적함수를 동시에 고려하는 다목적 최적화 기반 사회기반시설물 수명관리가 최근 국내외에서 많이 적용되고 있다. 하지만, 수명관리 최적화를 위한 목적함수의 개수가 증가함에 따라 신뢰성있는 결과를 얻기 위해서는 많은 계산시간이 소요되며, 특히 확률론적 계산을 위한 시뮬레이션 기법이 적용되는 목적함수의 경우 계산시간은 더욱 증가하게 된다. 또한, 목적함수의 개수 증가에 따라 계산결과의 차수가 증가하기 때문에 이를 시각화하고 나아가 의사결정에 어려움이 발생한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 다목적 최적화 문제의 계산된 결과를 바탕으로 한 의사결정의 효율성 향상을 위해 최소 필수 목적함수를 구별하는 목적감소 기법을 적용하여 콘크리트 교량 상판의 수명관리에 대한 연구를 수행하였으며, 최초 4개의 목적함수가 2개까지 감소되는 결과를 보여준다.

이 연구에서는 한정된 데이터베이스를 바탕으로 콘크리트 물성 예측 모델을 만들어 최적 배합을 구할 때, 탐색 범위를 한정된 데이터베이스로 제안함으로써 보다 신뢰성 있는 콘크리트 배합을 제시할 수 있는 기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 기법은 각 구성 재료의 가능한 모든 영역을 포함하는 데이터베이스를 구축하지 않고 최적화 과정에서 탐색 범위를 한정된 데이터베이스로 제안함으로써 콘크리트 물성 예측 모델이 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있게 된다. 이 연구에서 이러한 영역을 유효영역으로 정의 하였다. 제안한 기법은 유전자 알고리즘, 인공신경회로망, 그리고 최소 볼록 집합을 이용하여 구현하였으며, 이 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 주어진 강도 조건을 만족하면서 최저의 가격으로 제조할 수 있는 배합을 찾는 최적화 문제에 적용하였으며 검증 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 데이터베이스의 영역 특성을 반영하는 제안한 기법을 통하여 보다 정확하고 신뢰성 있는 최적 배합을 찾을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we introduce a new topology of Radial Basis Function-based Polynomial Neural Networks (RPNN) that is based on a genetically optimized multi-layer perceptron with Radial Polynomial Neurons (RPNs). This study offers a comprehensive design methodology involving mechanisms of optimization algorithms, especially Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering method and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms. In contrast to the typical architectures encountered in Polynomial Neural Networks (PNNs), our main objective is to develop a design strategy of RPNNs as follows : (a) The architecture of the proposed network consists of Radial Polynomial Neurons (RPNs). In here, the RPN is fully reflective of the structure encountered in numeric data which are granulated with the aid of Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering method. The RPN dwells on the concepts of a collection of radial basis function and the function-based nonlinear (polynomial) processing. (b) The PSO-based design procedure being applied at each layer of RPNN leads to the selection of preferred nodes of the network (RPNs) whose local characteristics (such as the number of input variables, a collection of the specific subset of input variables, the order of the polynomial, and the number of clusters as well as a fuzzification coefficient in the FCM clustering) can be easily adjusted. The performance of the RPNN is quantified through the experimentation where we use a number of modeling benchmarks - NOx emission process data of gas turbine power plant and learning machine data(Automobile Miles Per Gallon Data) already experimented with in fuzzy or neurofuzzy modeling. A comparative analysis reveals that the proposed RPNN exhibits higher accuracy and superb predictive capability in comparison to some previous models available in the literature.

Semantic Web society initially focused only on data but has gradually moved toward knowledge. Recently rule beyond ontology has emerged as a key element of the Semantic Web. All of these activities are obviously aiming at making data and knowledge on the Web sharable and reusable between various entities around the world. If one of ultimate visions of the Semantic Web is to increase human's decision making quality assisted by machines, there is a missing but important part to be shared and reused. It is knowledge about constraints on data and concepts represented by ontology which should be emphasized more. In this paper, we propose Semantic Web Constraint Language (SWCL) based on OWL and show how effective SWCL can be in representing and solving an internet shopper's decision making problem by an implementation of a shopping agent in the Semantic Web environment.
