The paper presents a generalized optimal active control algorithm for earthquake-resistant structures. The study included the weighting matrix configuration, stability, and time-delays for achieving control effectiveness and optimum solution. The sensitivity of various time-delays in the optimal solution is investigated for which the stability regions are determined. A simplified method for reducing the influence of time-delay on dynamic response is proposed. Numerical examples illustrate that the proposed optimal control algorithm is advantageous over others currently in vogue. Its feedback control law is independent of the time increment, and its weighting matrix can be flexibly selected and adjusted at any time during the operation of the control system. The examples also show that the weighting matrix based on pole placement approach is superior to other weighting matrix configurations for its self-adjustable control effectiveness. Using the time-delay correction method can significantly reduce the influence of time-delays on both structural response and required control force.

This paper is the experimental study on the endurance characteristics of the dynamic absorber for the vibration reduction of the 4WD(4 Wheel drive) vehicle's powertrain. Employing the vehicle speed, natural frequencies of damper, modal testing results of powertrain and the weighting factor, the improved endurance test conditions are suggested to enlarge the life time of the dynamic absorber. The test results show that the life time of the dynamic absorber for Z-direction(up and down) has no problems, but the characteristics of X-direction (fore and after) will be sensitive to endurance characteristics of dynamic absorber.

This paper proposes the receding horizon $H_{\infty}$ predictive control (RHHPC) for systems with a state-delay. We first proposes a new cost function for a finite horizon dynamic game problem. The proposed cost function includes two terminal weighting terns, each of which is parameterized by a positive definite matrix, called a terminal weighting matrix. Secondly, we derive the RHHPC from the solution to the finite dynamic game problem. Thirdly, we propose an LMI condition under which the saddle point value satisfies the well-known nonincreasing monotonicity. Finally, we shows the asymptotic stability and $H_{\infty}$-norm boundedness of the closed-loop system controlled by the proposed RHHPC. Through a numerical example, we show that the proposed RHHC is stabilizing and satisfies the infinite horizon $H_{\infty}$-norm bound.

This paper presents experimental modal analysis and static load testing results to validate the accuracy of dynamic parameters-based damage locating indices in RC structures. The study investigates the accuracy of different dynamic-based damage locating indices compared to observed crack patterns from static load tests and how different damage levels and scenarios impact them. The damage locating indices based on mode shape curvature and mode shape fourth derivate in their original forms were found to show anomalies along the beam length and at the supports. The modified forms of these indices show higher sensitivity in locating single and multi-cracks at different damage scenarios. The proposed stiffness reduction index shows good sensitivity in detecting single and multi-cracks. The proposed anomalies elimination procedure helps to remove the anomalies along the beam length. Also, the adoption of the proposed weighting method averaging procedure and normalization procedure help to draw the overall crack pattern based on the adopted set of modes.

In this study, dynamic optimal design far a two degree-of-freedom anthropomorphic robot module is performed. Several dynamic design indices associated with the inertia matrix and the inertia power array are introduced. Analysis for the relationship between the dynamic parameters and the design indices shows that trade-offs exist between the isotropy and the dynamic design indices related to the actuator size. A composite design index is employed to deal with multi-criteria based design with different weighting factors, in a systematic manner. We demonstrate the fact that dynamic optimization is another significant step to enhance the system performances, followed by kinematic optimization.

Lazy loaming methods including CBR have relative advantages in comparison with eager loaming methods such as artificial neural networks and decision trees. However, they are very sensitive to irrelevant features. In other words, when there are irrelevant features, larry learning methods have difficulty in comparing cases. Therefore, their performance can be degraded significantly. To overcome this disadvantage, feature weighting methods for lazy loaming methods have been studied. Most of the existing researches, however, were focused on global feature weighting. In this research, we propose a new local feature weighting method, which we shall call CBDFW. CBDFW stores classification performance of randomly generated feature weight vectors. Then, given a new query case, CBDFW retrieves the successful feature weight vectors and designs a feature weight vector fur the query case. In the test on credit evaluation domain, CBDFW showed better classification accuracy when compared to the results of previous researches.

In this study, the researcher tried to analyse the effects of various palm angles in sculling on the variation of underwater weighting. An experiment was conducted on the study subjects of 14 males with life guard licences issued by the Korean Red Cross, living in B district with their spontaneous consent after explaining the purpose and method of this study sufficiently. The effects of various angles in sculling on underwater weighting is as follows; The underwater weighting in sculling gradually decreased with the increasing angle of the palm from $0^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$ during sculling(p<.001). Overall, it is concluded that the optimal efficiency of sculling can be achieved at the angles $30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$. But, it is a little limited that we generalize the result drawn from variation of underwater weighting depending on the angles as an actual lift and drag value, which warrants further studies on the measuring of overall swimming movement of rotary kick of our lower body as well as sculling, along with various subjects.

Technology of vehicle industry has been developing and it is required a better vehicle performance than before. Therefore, the consumers are asking not only an economic efficiency, functionality, polished design, ride comfort and silence but also a driving stability. The ride comfort, silence and driving stability are influenced by the size of vehicle and various facilities. But the principal factor is a room noise and vibration sensed by a driver and passenger. Thus, the NVH of vehicle has been raised and used as a principal factor for evaluation of vehicle performance. The primary objective of this study is an optimized design of powertrain mounting system. To optimized design was applied MSC.Nastran optimization modules. Results of dynamic analysis for powertrain mounting system was investigated. By theses results, design variables was applied 12 dynamic spring constant. And the weighting factor according to translational displacement and rotational displacement applied 3 cases. The objective function was applied to minimize displacement of powertrain. And the design variable constraint was imposed dynamic spring constant ratio. The constraint of design variable for objective function was imposed bounce displacement for powertrain.

In conventional model updating using single-objective optimization techniques, imcompatible physical data are compared with each other using weighting factors. There are no general rules fur selecting the weighting factors since they are not directly related with the dynamic behavior of an updated model. So one of the most difficult tasks, in mr)del updating study, is 'balancing among the correlations', i.e. 'trade-off'. (omitted)
