This study deals with the single-product production and transportation model with dynamic demand over finite time horizon, in which the optimal production(order) quantities, transportation modes and the number of each vehicles are determined simultaneously. The finite number of identical vehicles with capacity constraint is given to each mode. Production and transportation costs are assumed to be concave function for generality. For a relevant mathematical model formulated, the theorems and properties are discussed to present the efficient algorithm. A numerical example is solved to illustrate the algorithm developed.

In this paper, merits and demerits of Nelder and Mead Penalty Function Method(SUMTNM) and Flexible Tolerance Method(FTM) are investigated from the standpoint of generality, accuracy and efficiency. SUMTNM is combined with Nelder and Method and SUMT, but FTM improves the values of the objective function by using information provided by feasible points as well as certain nonfeasible points termed near-feasible points. Therefore, FTM uses more information than SUMTNM for minimizing object function. The structural analysis of a vertically corrugated bulkhead is performed by collapse mechanism and plate buckling analysis. Based on the results of this analysis, minimum structural weight design of a corrugated bulkhead by use of above two optimization techniques is carried out by investigating the effects of sizes of bulkhead on the structural weight.

This study is concerned with the application of new criterion for membrane/shell mixed element in the rigid-plastic finite element analysis and elastic-plastic finite element analysis. The membrane/shell mixed element can be selctively adapted to the pure stretching condition by using membrane or a shell element in the bending effect areas. Thus, membrane/shell mixed element requires a efficient criterion for a distinction between membrane and shell element. In the present study introduce the criterion using the angle of between two element and confirm a generality of criterion from appling the theory to a rigid-plastic and elastic-plastic problems.

Vernacular embodies a culture and economy that are unique to one particular region at a given period, expressed in the lifestyles of the ordinary people of the region. This study aims at interpreting Korean Vernacular Landscape by applying the analytical tool thus developed to the lifestyles of ordinary people found in their permanent dwellings (e. g., villages). By so doing, this study hopes to contribute to building a framework with which to understand the tradition of ordinary people by exploring the uniqueness and basic characteristics of Korean Vernacular Landscape. This study relies primarily on filed studies on, and publications relating to, the agrarian and residential landscapes. The Korean vernacular landscape has not only crude and simple generality, but also individuality derived from cultural circumstances and natural feature. Korean Vernacular Landscape may be characterized as the practical Vernacular Landscape, consisting of the raw materials that were only available in a particular region, shaped by the terrain, and maintained by the customs that varied from a region to a region.

The problem of pricing for a telecommunication network is investigated with respect to the users' sensitivity to the pricing structure. A functional optimization problem is formulated, in order to compute price reallocations as functions of data collected in real time during the network evolution. No a-priori knowledge about the users' utility functions and the traffic demands is required, since adaptive reactions to the network conditions are sought in real time. To this aim, a neural approximation technique is studied to exploit an optimal pricing control law, able to counteract traffic changes with a small on-line computational effort. Owing to the generality of the mathematical framework under investigation, our control methodology can be generalized for other decision variables and cost functionals.

Jacket matrices, motivated by the complex Hadamard matrix, have played important roles in signal processing, communications, image compression, cryptography, etc. In this paper, we suggest a novel approach to design a simple class of space-time block codes (STBCs) to reduce its peak-to-average power ratio. The proposed code provides coding gain due to the characteristics of the complex Hadamard matrix, which is a special case of Jacket matrices. Also, it can achieve full rate and full diversity with the simple decoding. Simulations show the good performance of the proposed codes in terms of symbol error rate. For generality, a kind of quasi-orthogonal STBC may be similarly designed with the improved performance.

In this paper a comprehensive d.c. link model is developed with generality to represent all the plant components and operating conditions. The voltage ambiguity which is shown in other papers is removed. The New Zealand a.c.-d.c. scheme is used as a test system, and the results show that a fast-decoupled load-flow solution of a.c. systems interconnected by d.c. link converges for all practical operating conditions.

Although optimization by sequentially refining metamodels is known to be computationally very efficient, the metamodel that can be used for this purpose is limited to Kriging method due to the difficulties related with sample points selections. The present study suggests a novel method for sequentially refining metamodels using Pareto Frontiers, which can be used independent of the type of metamodels. It is shown from the examples that the present method yields more accurate metamodels compared with full-factorial optimization and also guarantees global optimum irrespective of the initial conditions. Finally, in order to prove the generality of the present method, it is applied to a 2D transonic airfoil optimization problem, and the successful design results are obtained.

Sandwich plates are widely used in lightweight design due to their high strength and stiffness to weight ratio. Due to the heterogeneous structure of sandwich plates, they can exhibit local instabilities (wrinkling), which lead to a sudden loss of stiffness in the structure. This paper presents an analytical solution to the wrinkling problem of sandwich plates. The solution is based on the Rayleigh-Ritz method, by assuming an appropriate deformation field. In contrast to the other approaches up to now, this model takes arbitrary and different orthotropic face layers, finite core thickness and orthotropic core material into account. This approach is the first to cover the wrinkling of unsymmetric sandwiches and sandwiches composed of orthotropic FRP face layers, which are most common in advanced lightweight design. Despite the generality of the solution, the computational effort is kept within bounds. The results have been verified using other analytical solutions and unit cell 3D FE calculations.

Information on the distribution of the basic random variable is essential for the accurate analysis of structural reliability. The usual method for determining the distributions is to fit a candidate distribution to the histogram of available statistical data of the variable and perform approximate goodness-of-fit tests. Generally, such candidate distribution would have parameters that may be evaluated from the statistical moments of the statistical data. In the present paper, a cubic normal distribution, whose parameters are determined using the first four moments of available sample data, is investigated. A parameter table based on the first four moments, which simplifies parameter estimation, is given. The simplicity, generality, flexibility and advantages of this distribution in statistical data analysis and its significance in structural reliability evaluation are discussed. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate these advantages.
