In this study we conduct the optimal spot-weld layout design of vehicle body structure considering dynamic stiffness and side impact. We conduct both linear static analysis and nonlinear analysis with a baseline model to verify the process. 13 design variables will be selected for the effect analysis. Then, topology optimization is conducted to each selected design variable. The design constraints are formulated to improve the dynamic stiffness and side impact performance. Objective function is to set the density of weld component. Optimal spot-weld layout design are compared with the baseline model to show the improvement.

An operation planning of lift car is crucial in tall building construction especially it's arrangement plans, because it is related with transportation distance of finishing materials affecting construction productivity. Since tall building construction, composed of complicating and huge plane have complex traffic lines of finishing materials, to determine the position of lift car empirically or intuitively has limits. Therefore this paper suggest an optimum layout model of lift car minimizing the transportation distance both at site-level and floor-level using Graph theory and Dijkstra algorithm.

The visualization of information serves as a valuable tool for facilitating communication and exchange of opinions among stakeholders by conveying information in an intuitive and clear manner. As a preliminary study of visualization for construction field, this study proposed a model for generating three-dimensional floor layout using 360-degree panoramic cameras. The model integrates the layouts by calculating normal vectors of the plane which has openings, and applying translation and rotation matrices between the normal vectors. The results of this study can contribute to improving communication in construction sites by incorporating visualization, and further to the digital transformation of the construction industry.

An approach based on a 2D lumped model is presented to quantify the voltage transfer gain (VTG) in power converter low power planes. The advantage of the modeling approach is the ease with which typical noise reduction devices such as decoupling capacitors or ferrite beads can be integrated into the model. This feature is enforced by a new modular approach based on effective matrix partitioning, which is presented in the paper. This partitioning is used to decouple power plane equations from external device impedance, which avoids the need for rewriting of a whole set of equation at every change. The model is quickly solved in the frequency domain, which is well suited for an automated layout optimization algorithm. Using frequency domain modeling also allows the integration of frequency-dependent devices such inductors and capacitors, which are required for realistic computation results. In order to check the precision of the modeling approach, VTGs for several layout configurations are computed and compared with experimental measurements based on scattering parameters.

This research suggested the mathematical model (forward kinematics method) to provide the reference points of driver space more easily and accurately in designing the package layout of vehicle interiors. For this purpose, the lengths of body segments of drivers and various joint angles occurred while were used. The length data between joints for the mathematical model were extracted from $SAFEWORK^{\circed{R}}$ as well as 95th percentile male and 5th percentile female body dimensions were utilized. In addition, the angles of body segments were applied on its diverse values within proper ranges in order to compare them each other. the mathematical model in this study was based on the concept of converting polar coordinate system to Cartesian coordinate system so that reference points of driver space were acquired in Cartesian coordinate system after using the segment lengths of drivers and the joint angles of driving postures as an input of polar coordinate system. It is expected that reference points of driver space obtained from this research are helpful to the study on package layout that is appropriate for physical characteristics of drivers.

In order to improve the traditional post harvest system in Korea, a model for mechanized grain drying and storage facilities was developed. Also, a computer program for the model system was developed. For the study, flat type steel bin and circulation type dryer were selected for the model and Fortran language was used for the computer program. This program was tested by using various practical data. The following results were obtained from the study: 1. The general model developed can be used for designing a rough rice drying and storage facility within the range from 100 ton to 1000 ton capacity. 2. Major output of the computer program for designing a model system were as follow; a. The dimension of the plant. b. The storage bin size, dryer number and dryer size. c. The dimension of individual equipment and its required HP. d. Capital requirement and operating cost of the model system.

To propose an ergonomic layout on the bridge, this study conducted a usability evaluation on the on-bridge navigational equipment of a college training ship that is in use at present. Through the usability evaluation on the training ship navigators, the possibility of operational errors with navigational equipment, the possibility of readout errors with display devices and even the effect of navigational equipment on navigation were evaluated beyond the scope of existing layouts, which adopt only the importance and usage frequency of navigational equipment. By taking ergonomic variables into consideration, this study suggested an optimized layout for on-bridge navigational equipment using a mathematical programming model.

This paper describes a post-layout simulation method using VHDL and C for verifying the architecture of antifuse-based FPGAs and the dedicated CAD system. An antifuse-based FPGA consists of programming circuitry including decoding logic, logic modules, segmented tracks, antifuses and I/O pads. The VHDL model which includes all these elements is used for logic verification and programming verification of the implemented circuit by reconstructing the logic circuit from the bit-stream generated from layout tool. The implemented circuit comprises of logic modules and routing networks. Since the routing delay of the complex networks is comparable to the delay of the logic module in the FPGA, the accurate post-layout simulation is essential to the FPGA system. In this paper, the C program calculates the delay of the routing netowrks using SPICE, elmore or horowitz delay models and the results feedback to the VHDL simulation. Critical path anc be found from this post-layout simulation results.

This paper presents an optimization model with performance constraints for two kinds of graph elements layout problem. The layout problem is partitioned into finite subproblems by using graph theory and group theory, such that each subproblem overcomes its on-off nature about optimal variable. Furthermore each subproblem is relaxed and the continuity about optimal variable doesn't change. We construct a min-max problem which is locally equivalent to the relaxed subproblem and develop the first order necessary and sufficient conditions for the relaxed subproblem by virtue of the min-max problem and the theories of convex analysis and nonsmooth optimization. The global optimal solution can be obtained through the first order optimality conditions.

In order to reduce the distribution cost of sensor nodes, a mobile sensor deployment has been proposed. The mobile sensor deployment can be solved by finding the optimal layout and planning the movement of sensor nodes with minimum energy consumption. However, previous studies have not sufficiently addressed these issues with an efficient way. Therefore, we propose a new deployment approach satisfying these features, namely a tree-based approach. In the tree-based approach, we propose three matching schemes. These matching schemes match each sensor node to a vertex in a rake tree, which can be trivially transformed to the target layout. In our experiments, the tree-based approach successfully deploys the sensor nodes in the optimal layout and consumes less energy than previous works.
