In this article, the influence of fuzzified uncertain composite elastic properties on non-linear deformation behaviour of the composite structure is investigated under external mechanical loadings (uniform and sinusoidal distributed loading) including the different end boundaries. In this regard, the composite model has been derived considering the fuzzified elastic properties (through a triangular fuzzy function, α cut) and the large geometrical distortion (Green-Lagrange strain) in the framework of the higher-order mid-plane kinematics. The results are obtained using the fuzzified nonlinear finite element model via in-house developed computer code (MATLAB). Initially, the model accuracy has been established and explored later to show the dominating elastic parameter affect the deflection due to the inclusion of fuzzified properties by solving a set of new numerical examples.

In this study, BIEM(Boundary Integral Equation Method) using Green's function is applied in order to analyze 3D electric field precisely. The algorithm is developed with equivalent electric surface charge as a variable, which promises less unknown variables and higher accuracy of electric field analysis. The validity of the developed program is varified by applying it to a coaxial cylinder mode and 3-phase GIS model.

The objective of this study is to analyze the hazard-areas for landslide using GIS and RS. LRA (Logistic Regression Analysis) and AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Program) methods were used for evaluation of the hazard-areas by six topographic factors (slope, aspect, elevation, soil drain, soil depth, land use). These methods were applied to Anseong-si where frequent landslides were occurred mainly by the regional heavy rainfall. A landslide hazard-map of Anseong-si could describe into 7 hazard-grades. As results, LRA method was underestimated in higher grades areas, while AHP method was underestimated in lower grades areas. In order to evaluate the hazard-areas for landslides with accuracy, these results of each method were overlapped and the results of suggested method were compared with the historical landslide hazard records of KFRI (Korea Forest Research Institute).

In order to find the effect of material property and lubricant viscosity on the frictional characteristics a sheet metal friction tester was designed and tensile test, surface roughness test, and friction test were performed with several kinds of drawing oils. Test results show that as the lubricant viscosity becomes lower, the friction coefficient is higher. When surface roughness is extremely low or high, friction coefficient is also high. Using these test results, the friction model considering lubricant viscosity and surface roughness is developed. The validity and accuracy of the friction model are shown by comparing the punch loads among FEM analysis results employing current friction model and conventional friction model respectively and experimental measurement.

In order to apply three-dimensional images to industries, the possibility of realizing three-dimensional images should be ensured and when operating a task using three-dimensional images, the intention of the observer and the result of operation should be precisely related. The aim of this paper is to investigate the task performance of a human operator during operating a robot manipulator using three-dimensional and two-dimensional image displays. From the result of this research, it was found that the accuracy of robot operation in the case of using three-dimensional displays is much higher than in the case of using two-dimensional displays and the adapting time to the operating task using three-dimensional displays is shorter than that using two-dimensional displays. From such results, we concluded that the application of three-dimensional displays, which can closely reflect real environment, to industries is desirable.

Uncertainties in loads, materials and manufacturing quality must be considered during electromagnetic devices design. This paper presents an effective methodology for robust optimization design based on the variance decomposition in order to keep higher accuracy of the robustness prediction. Sobol' theory is employed to estimate the response variance under some specific tolerance in design variables. Then, an optimal design is obtained by adding a criterion of response variance upon typical optimization problems as a constraint of the optimization. The main contribution of this paper is that the proposed method applies the variance decomposition to obtain a more accurate variance of the response, as well save the computational cost. The performance and robustness of the proposed algorithms are investigated through a numerical experiment with both an analytic function and the TEAM 22 problem.

This paper describes a control technique of coupled tank level using Evolutionary Neural Network. In general, the control of tank level without a dangerous overflow and with a high accuracy is difficult because of higher order time delay and nonlinearity. Nonetheless, proposed Evolution Neural Network controller in this paper was successfully implemented and simulation results of the superiority over a conventional PID one was investigated.

In this paper, the composition method of global and local fuzzy reasoning concepts is researched for reducing the number of rules, not losing the performance for fuzzy controller. A new method is proposed in details that controls the interaction between global reasoning and local reasoning. In order to automatically acquire and optimize the method, the DNA coding algorithm is introduced to the local fuzzy reasoning of the proposed composition fuzzy reasoning method. The method is applied to the real liquid level control system for the purpose of evaluating the Performance. The simulation results show that the proposed technique can produce the fuzzy rules with higher accuracy and feasibility than the conventional methods.

In this paper, an online SNR estimator is derived for turbo coded multicode DS/SS systems in Nakagami fading channels. The multicode DS/SS approach is one of promising solutions to obtain higher-rate data transmission in DS/SS technologies. Turbo coding has paid much attention because of the significant improvements on error rate performances in various communication systems including multicode DS/SS systems. However, in the turbo decoding, channel state information, especially signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the correlator outputs, is desired in order to obtain such improvements. We evaluate the accuracy of the derived SNR estimation. It is shown that the bit error rate performance using our SNR estimation is close to the performance with perfect knowledge of channel state information.

This letter presents a prediction model for sentence-final intonations for Korean conversational-style text-to-speech systems in which we introduce the linguistic feature of 'modality' as a new parameter. Based on their function and meaning, we classify tonal forms in speech data into tone types meaningful for speech synthesis and use the result of this classification to build our prediction model using a tree structured classification algorithm. In order to show that modality is more effective for the prediction model than features such as sentence type or speech act, an experiment is performed on a test set of 970 utterances with a training set of 3,883 utterances. The results show that modality makes a higher contribution to the determination of sentence-final intonation than sentence type or speech act, and that prediction accuracy improves up to 25% when the feature of modality is introduced.
