Optimizing composite structures to exploit their maximum potential is a realistic application with promising returns. In this research, simultaneous maximization of the fundamental frequency and frequency separation between the first two modes by optimizing the fiber angles is considered. A high-fidelity design optimization methodology is developed by combining the high-accuracy of finite element method with iterative improvement capability of metaheuristic algorithms. Three powerful nature-inspired optimization algorithms viz. a genetic algorithm (GA), a particle swarm optimization (PSO) variant and a cuckoo search (CS) variant are used. Advanced memetic features are incorporated in the PSO and CS to form their respective variants-RPSOLC (repulsive particle swarm optimization with local search and chaotic perturbation) and CHP (co-evolutionary host-parasite). A comprehensive set of benchmark solutions on several new problems are reported. Statistical tests and comprehensive assessment of the predicted results show CHP comprehensively outperforms RPSOLC and GA, while RPSOLC has a little superiority over GA. Extensive simulations show that the on repeated trials of the same experiment, CHP has very low variability. About 50% fewer variations are seen in RPSOLC as compared to GA on repeated trials.

This paper presents a new model to obtain the minimum area of the contact surface for rectangular isolated footings, considering that the contact surface works partially to compression (a part of the contact surface of the footing is subjected to compression and the other is not in compression or tension). The methodology is developed by integration to obtain the axial load "P", moment around the X axis "M_x" and moment around the Y axis "M_y". This document presents the simplified and precise equations of the four possible cases of footing subjected to uniaxial bending and five possible cases of footing subjected to biaxial bending. The current model considers the contact area of the footing that works totally in compression, and other models consider the contact area that works partially under compression and these are developed by very complex iterative processes. Numerical examples are presented to obtain the minimum area of rectangular footings under an axial load and moments in two directions, and the results are compared with those of other authors. The results show that the new model presents smaller areas than the other authors presented.

뉴스페이스(new space) 시대가 도래함에 따라 국내 KOMPSAT-3·3A 위성영상과 해외 위성영상과의 글로벌 융합활용 기술확보가 대두되고 있다. 일반적으로 다중센서 위성영상은 취득 당시의 다양한 외부요소로 인해 영상 간 상대적인 기하오차(relative geometric error)가 발생하며, 이로 인해 위성영상 산출물의 품질이 저하된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 KOMPSAT-3·3A 위성영상과 해외 위성영상 간 존재하는 상대기하오차를 최소화하기 위한 정밀영상정합(fine-image registration) 방법론을 제안한다. KOMPSAT-3·3A 위성영상과 해외 위성영상 간 중첩영역을 선정한 후 두 영상 간 공간해상도를 통일한다. 이어서, 특징 및 영역 기반 정합기법을 결합한 형태의 하이브리드(hybrid) 정합기법을 이용하여 정합점(tie-point)을 추출한다. 그리고 피라미드(pyramid) 영상 기반의 반복적 정합을 수행하여 정밀영상정합을 수행한다. KOMPSAT-3·3A 위성영상과 Sentinel-2A 및 PlanetScope 영상을 이용하여 제안기법의 정확도 및 성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과, Sentienl-2A 영상 기준 평균 Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) 1.2 pixels, PlanetScope 영상 기준 평균 RMSE 3.59 pixels의 정확도가 도출되었다. 이를 통해 제안기법을 이용하여 효과적으로 정밀영상정합을 수행할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: This study was to explore adaptation experience to family among women who immigrated for marriage. Specific aims were to identify problems immigrant women face as family members and how they interact with other family members. Methods: Grounded theory methodology was utilized. Data were collected from iterative fieldwork with individual in-depth interviews from 6 immigrant women as key informants, and 2 of their husbands and 2 of their mothers-in-law as general informants. Results: Through constant comparative analysis, a core category emerged as "tearing down the wall in communicating". Causal conditions were feeling frustrated in one's expectations, differences in language and life style, differences in recognition, and perceptions of discrimination and prejudice. Strategies were learning the Korean language, learning Korean culture, managing stress, mediating differences between family members, and introspecting. Intervening factors were support systems, burdens of child-rearing, and the condition of one's health. Consequences were rooting oneself in one's family and accepting one's life as it is. Conclusion: Results of the study indicate that there is a need for nurses to understand differences in communication with family members among immigrant women and to provide information and emotional support to improve the adaptation of these women to their Korean families.

This paper reviews recent major activities on instrumentation and methodology of PET. The performance of the PET instrumentation can be expressed by four physical characteristics, 1) spatial resolution, 2) coincidence resolving time, 3) energy resolution, and 4) detection efficiency. The physical and technical aspects of PET systems are briefly discussed along with these characteristics. Toward high resolution PET the recent trend has been to design multiple rings of densely packed detector arrays with scintillators. In order to satisfy the sampling requirement in reconstruction, continuous detector units has been developed. Iterative image reconstruction algorithms have received considerable attention for improvement of both the sampling requirement and image quality toward the stationary PET. Better resolving time improves the maximum true coincidence rate, which is also increased with more detectors placed in coincidence with each other. It suggests that volume PET is promising for enhancement of detection efficiency. The scattered coincidence event rate may be reduced by using detectors with better energy resolution. The use of interplane septa, however, takes over improvement of energy resolution in 2D PET. Energy resolution becomes an important factor for image quality under the condition of septa removal such as volume PET. Toward full utilization of emitting photons, 3D reconstruction incorporating oblique rays has been studied, and volume reconstruction algorithms have been developed. Practical volume PET systems impose heavy burden not only to detector sets and coincidence circuits, but also to computers in the memory requirements and the data processing. In conclusion, there have been many ingenious methods in development of PET instrumentation, which are based on unique capability of PET. They will be expected to overcome technical limitations, and to approach the fundamental limits.

교량, 발전소, 해양구조물과 같은 토목구조물은 사용기간중에 지진, 바람, 파랑하중등에 의해 구조적 손상을 받기 쉽다. 장기간에 걸쳐 구조물에 손상이 누적되면 구조물 전체의 파괴를 초래할 수도 있다. 따라서 현존하는 구조물의 안전성을 분석하기 위한 구조물의 손상도를 추정하는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 Inverse Modal Perturbation기법을 이용하여 구조물의 손상도를 추정하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. Perturbation식은 구조물의 강성 및 질량행렬의 변화량과 구조물의 고유진동수와 모우드형상의 변화량의 식으로 구성된다. 또한 구조물의 손상은 강성행렬의 변화량으로 표현하였다. 본 연구에서는 구조물의 손상도추정의 효율성을 증대시키기 위하여 2차-Perturbation식을 구성하고, 이것을 반복적인 절차를 거쳐 해를 구하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 제안된 방법의 효율성은 일련의 예제해석을 통하여 검증하였으며, 추정된 결과로 부터 본 방법이 구조물의 손상을 적절히 산정함을 알 수 있었다.

The multi-driver off-road vehicle drive-line consists of many components, with close connections among them. In order to design and analyze the drive-line efficiently, a modular methodology should be taken. The aim of a modular approach to the modeling of complex systems is to support behavior analysis and simulation in an iterative and thus complex engineering process, by using encapsulated submodels of components and of their interfaces. Multi-driver off-road vehicles are comparatively complicated. The driving-line is an important core part to the vehicle, it has a significant contribution to the performance. Multi-driver off-road vehicles have complex driving-lines, so performance is heavily dependent on the driving-line. A typical off-road vehicle's driving-line system consists of a torque converter, transmission, transfer case and driving-axles, which transfers the power generated by the engine and distributes it effectively to the driving wheels according to the road condition. According to its main function, this paper proposes a modularized approach for design and evaluation of the vehicle's driving-line. It can be used to effectively estimate the performance of the driving-line during the concept design stage. Through an appropriate analysis and assessment method, an optimal design can be reached. This method has been applied to practical vehicle design, it can improve the design efficiency and is convenient to assess and validate the performance of a vehicle, especially of multi-driver off-road vehicles.
