우수관망의 최적 설계에 관한 기존의 연구 모형들은 설계강우에 대하여 관거의 연결, 관경 및 관 경사 등을 최소의 비용을 목적으로 최적화하여 왔다. 그런데 우수관망에서의 관거 내의 흐름은 관경, 관 경사와 특히 관망의 구성 형태에 따라서크게달라진다. 기존의최적우수관망설계모형들은설계유량을만족시키는것에국한되었으며, 설계기준을초과하는 강우에 따른 침수의 발생은 관망의 설계에 어떠한 고려도 되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 우수관망을 구성함에 있어서 관거 내 흐름을 분산시키고 제어함을 목적으로 한다. 이것은 관망 구성에 따른 관거 내 흐름의 중첩효과를 제어함으로써 가능하며, 이러한 흐름의 제어를 통하여 설계기준을 초과하는 강우에 대해서 우수관망에서의 내수침수 발생은 저감될 수 있다. 본 연구에의 최적 우수관망 설계 모형(Optimal Sewer Layout Model, OSLM)은 내수침수 발생을 저감시키기 위해 흐름의 중첩효과를 고려하여 관거 내 흐름을 분산시키고 제어하기 위하여 개발되었다. 이 모형은 최적화를 위하여 유전자알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm, GA)를 이용하였으며, 수리학적 분석을 위하여 SWMM(Storm Water Management Model)을 연계하였다. 모형의 적용은 유역면적 44 ha의 서울시 하계 배수분구에 이루어졌으며, 현재의 우수관망 구성에 대하여 도출된 최적 우수관망에서는 지속기간 30분의 설계강우에 대하여 7.1%의 유출구 첨두유출량 감소와 20년 빈도의 지속기간 1시간 초과강우에 대하여 24.2%의 침수 발생량 저감 효과를 나타내었다.

불필요한 자원 이동 및 운반은 건설 현장 작업 생산성에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 주요 원인 중 하나이다. 이에 따라 레이아웃 관련 연구들은 사이트 수준에서 이뤄지는 자원의 이동 및 운반을 최소화하기 위한 관리 기술과 기법들을 개발하기 위해서 노력하였다. 더불어 건축물이 대형화되고 평면이 복잡해지면서 작업층 내 레이아웃 연구의 필요성도 제기되었으나, 현재 건물 내부 자재 이동 및 운반에 대한 최적화 연구는 활발히 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유전 알고리즘을 이용하여 작업층 내 마감 자재의 위치를 최적화할 수 있는 모델을 개발하였다. 구축된 모델은 복잡한 건축 평면 위에서 다양한 자재들의 배치를 계획할 수 있으며, 이때 모델로부터 도출된 최적화된 자재 배치 계획은 작업 당일 작업자에 의한 총 자재 운반 시간을 최소화할 수 있다. 또한 작업과 자재 간 운반거리를 현실적으로 산정하기 위해서 실제 운반 거리 개념을 적용하였다. 개발된 모델의 적용성을 확인하고 기존 방법론과의 비교/분석을 위해서 실제 고층 주상복합 아파트를 대상으로 모델을 적용하였다.

The purpose of this study is basically for the use of simulations to enhance productivity. In this paper, the optimal number of allocation in a small and medium industry which produces eleutherococcus senticosus sap, is performed using simulations. The simulation model was developed under considerations of production layout, process & operation, process time, total work time, work in process (WIP), utilization, failure rate, and operation efficient as inputs, and was validated with careful comparisons between real behaviors and outputs of the production line. Therefore, we can evaluate effects and changes in productivity when some strategies and/or crucial factors are changed. Although too many workers and machines could decrease productivity, the eleutherococcus senticosus sap production line in this paper has been maintained many machines. To solve this problem, we determined the optimal number of workers and machines that could not cause any interrupt in productions using simulations. This simulation model considers diverse input variables which could influence productivity, and it is very useful not only for the production line of Eleutherococcus Senticosus Sap, but also for other production lines with various purposes, especially, in the small and medium industries.

This paper is on the research of the special character of the dynamic response according to a design of the clamped reinforced concrete slab. In this study, the 20-node solid element has been used to analyze the dynamic characteristics of RC slabs with clamped edges. The elasto-visco plastic model for material non-linearity and the smeared crack model have been adopted in the finite element formulation. The design factor, which affect the dynamic response of the reinforced concrete slab, are the steel layer thickness, steel layer depth, steel layout method, steel layout angle and the slab thickness and span ratio. The main purpose of this study was to find out the dynamic response of the reinforced concrete slab according to above variables. The reduction of deflection/thickness ratio appeared less than 2% when the slab thickness between 20 and 21cm. It is desirable that the slab thickness must be above 20-21cm. The reduction ratio of deflection is appeared greatly when the value of the span/thickness ratio is between 25 and 30. In conclusion, the steel layer depth and thickness had a little effect on deflection of the dynamic response, but had no effect on the steel layout angle.

This study analyzed the electric vehicle recharging station status with recharging time limitation due to long waiting time, and figured out the user status by user interviews. And then this study verified the validity of hypothesis in terms of environmental design perspective and suggested layout of recharging station model. 21 recharging stations in Korea and station operation cases of 7 countries were examined. Except for the USA, the reality of electric vehicle recharging station today is the 1st proving stage focusing on the infrastructure construction of electric vehicle recharging station. It focuses on performance of recharging facility, use efficiency and operation environment of electric vehicle. About the effective waiting time of the user to use it should be studied. The current conditions of recharging station are as follows: Lack of independent recharging space, lack of facility that reduces external effect of recharging space, and lack of lounge for users during the waiting time. These three are essential factors constructing a suggesting model after basic layout, which needs proper measurement on the long recharging time and long waiting time. The essential factors are applied to electric vehicle recharging station layout so that users might use 'digital refresh" i.e. lounge and information contents service during the waiting time which provides convenience of recharging and emotional space with users. Such upgrade recharging station environmental model might resolve the burden of long recharging time which may contribute to the popularization of electric vehicles.

Optimization of Construction Site Layout Planning (CSLP) heavily relies on workers' travel paths. However, traditional path generation approaches predominantly focus on the shortest path, often neglecting critical variables such as individual wayfinding tendencies, the spatial arrangement of site objects, and potential hazards. These oversights can lead to compromised path simulations, resulting in less reliable site layout plans. While Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has been proposed as a potential alternative to address these issues, it has shown limitations. Despite presenting more realistic travel paths by considering these variables, DRL often struggles with efficiency in complex environments, leading to extended learning times and potential failures. To overcome these challenges, this study introduces a refined model that enhances spatial navigation capabilities and learning performance by integrating workers' visibility into the reward functions. The proposed model demonstrated a 12.47% increase in the pathfinding success rate and notable improvements in the other two performance measures compared to the existing DRL framework. The adoption of this model could greatly enhance the reliability of the results, ultimately improving site operational efficiency and safety management such as by reducing site congestion and accidents. Future research could expand this study by simulating travel paths in dynamic, multi-agent environments that represent different stages of construction.

Parasitic parameters have a larger influence on Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices with an increase of the switching frequency. This limits full utilization of the performance advantages of the low switching losses in high frequency applications. By combining a theoretical analysis with a experimental parametric study, a mathematic model considering the parasitic inductance and parasitic capacitance is developed for the basic switching circuit of a SiC MOSFET. The main factors affecting the switching characteristics are explored. Moreover, a fast-switching double pulse test platform is built to measure the individual influences of each parasitic parameters on the switching characteristics. In addition, guidelines are revealed through experimental results. Due to the limits of the practical layout in the high-speed switching circuits of SiC devices, the matching relations are developed and an optimized layout design method for the parasitic inductance is proposed under a constant length of the switching loop. The design criteria are concluded based on the impact of the parasitic parameters. This provides guidelines for layout design considerations of SiC-based high-speed switching circuits.

In this age of "Information", many people consider it a deterrent to information flow to provide a hierarchy with private rooms in a modern office layout. There are others, however, who insist that visual and acoustical privacy are more important than any other design factor in achieving higher productivity. The debate may never end, but the partitioned open plan, which is a new form of the vast open plan, has merits of each concept - open and closed layout. Consequently, office design has dramatically shifted to partitioned open planning, with shorter, temporary walls or partitions, originally intended for increasing privacy and diminishing hierarchy, yet still keeping flexibility in spatial organization. The introduction of low-level partitioned spaces in an office layout, however, produces a complicated lighting design problem. Obviously, accurately predicted daylighting performance data are needed not only for daylighting design but for artificial lighting system design. Scale models of 12 sets of unit partitioned spaces are constructed and extensive scale model measurements of both daylight and reflected sunlight have been performed within an artificial sky simulator. The prototype-building interior is modeled with different partition configurations, each of which is modeled using the different envelope geometry and exterior configurations, and then the variations in interior light levels are estimated. The result indicates that partitioned spaces employed in an open plan of modern offices still offer a large potential for daylighting and energy saving as well. Much of the savings may derive from the cumulative effect of reflected sunlight. Optimal design for building envelope geometry and exterior configuration promises additional savings.

The major components of an engine are engine block (or cylinder block), cylinder head, crank shaft, connecting rod and cam shaft. Thus the engine shop usually consists of six sub-lines, five machining lines and one assembly line. Flow line is the typical concept of layout for machining these parts, especially for engine block. In order to design an engine block machining line, several factors should be considered such as yearly production target, working hours, machines, tools, material handling equipments and so on. If the designers of manufacturing line were unaware of some factors those would be influenced on the system performance, it would make greater problems in the phase of mass production. Therefore the initial design of engine block machining line should be verified carefully. Simulation is the most powerful tool for analyzing the initial layout. This paper introduces the major factors those should be considered for designing the machining line and their effects on the system performance. 3D simulation models are developed with QUEST. Using the simulation model developed the initial layout is analyzed, and we suggest some ideas for improvement.
