Abstract The formulation of the probabilistic finite element method was briefly reviewed. The method was implemented into a computer program for frame analysis which has the same analogy as finite element analysis. Another program for Monte Carlo simulation of finite element analysis was written. Two sample structures were assumed and analized. The characteristics of the second moment statistics obtained by the probabilistic finite element method was examined through numerical studies. The applicability and limitation of the method were also evaluated in comparison with the data generated by Monte Carlo simulation.

This paper presents an improved Monte Carlo simulation for the probabilistic determination of initial cable forces of cable-stayed bridges under dead loads using the response surfaces method. A response surface (i.e. a quadratic response surface without cross-terms) is used to approximate structural response. The use of the response surface eliminates the need to perform a deterministic analysis in each simulation loop. In addition, use of the response surface requires fewer simulation loops than conventional Monte Carlo simulation. Thereby, the computation time is saved significantly. The statistics (e.g. mean value, standard deviation) of the structural response are calculated through conventional Monte Carlo simulation method. By using Monte Carlo simulation, it is possible to use the existing deterministic finite element code without modifying it. Probabilistic analysis of a truss demonstrates the proposed method' efficiency and accuracy; probabilistic determination of initial cable forces of a cable-stayed bridge under dead loads verifies the method's applicability.

In the reliability-based design optimization of electromagnetic devices, the accurate and efficient reliability assessment method is very essential. The first-order sensitivity-assisted Monte Carlo Simulation is proposed in the former research. In order to improve its accuracy for wide application, in this paper, the second-order sensitivity analysis is presented by using the hybrid direct differentiation-adjoint variable method incorporated with the finite element method. By combining the second-order sensitivity with the Monte Carlo Simulation method, the second-order sensitivity-assisted Monte Carlo Simulation algorithm is proposed to implement reliability calculation. Through application to one superconductor magnetic energy storage system, its accuracy is validated by comparing calculation results with other methods.

The influences of scatterer and absorber in turbid material by light scattering on silica fume of additive were interpreted for the scattered intensity and wavelength. The molecular properties have been studied by Monte Carlo simulation in resin of New Austria Tunnel Method. It has been found that the effects of optical properties in scattering media could be investigated by the optical parameters(${\mu}_s$, ${\mu}_a$,${\mu}_t$). Monte Carlo Simulation method for modelling of light transport in the civil engineering and construction field was applied. The results using a phantom were discussed that the distance from source to detector is closer, and scattering intensity is stronger with those obtained through Monte Carlo Simulation. It may also aid in designing the best model for coatings and corrosion for the durability of metal constructions.

Two of fundamental approaches that can be used to understand ion-solid interaction are Monte Carlo (MC) and Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulations. For the simplicity of simulation Monte Carlo simulation method is widely preferred. In this paper, basic consideration and algorithm of Monte Carlo simulation will be presented as well as simulation results. Sputtering caused by incident ion beam will be discussed with distribution of sputtered particles and their energy distributions. Redeposition of sputtered particles that are experienced refraction at the substrate-vacuum interface additionally presented. In addition, reflection of incident ions with reflection coefficient will be presented together with spatial and energy distributions. This Monte Carlo simulation will be useful in simulating and describing ion beam related processes such as Ion beam induced deposition/etching process, local nano-scale distribution of focused ion beam implanted ions, and ion microscope imaging process etc.

In regression model, we estimate the unknown parameters by using various methods. There are the least squares method which is the most general, the least absolute deviation method, the regression quantile method and the asymmetric least squares method. In this paper, we will compare each others with two cases: firstly the theoretical comparison in the asymptotic sense and then the practical comparison using Monte Carlo simulation for a small sample size.

A key comparison has been made between the air-kerma standards of the National Institute of Metrology (NIM), China, and other Asia Pacific Metrology Programme (APMP) members in the medium-energy X-ray. This paper reviews the primary standard Free-air ionization chamber correction factor experimental method and Monte Carlo simulation method in the NIM. The experimental method and the Monte Carlo simulation method are adopted to obtain the correction factor for the medium-energy X-ray primary standard free-air ionization chamber at 100 kV, 135 kV, 180 kV, 250 kV four CCRI reference qualities. The correction factor has already been submitted to the APMP as key comparison data and the results are in good agreement with those obtained in previous studies. This study shows that the experimental method and the EGSnrc simulation method are usually used in the measurement of the correction factor. In particular, the application of the simulation methods is more common.

정량적인 산사태 취약성 분석 중 물리 모델 기반의 분석(physically based approach)은 산사태의 발생 메커니즘 과정을 고려할 수 있는 장점으로 인해 다양한 취약성 분석기법 중 가장 효과적인 기법으로 알려져 있다. 물리 모델 분석은 사면의 지형학적 및 지질공학적 특성과 관련된 입력 자료들을 활용하는데, 현장으로부터 지질공학적 특성을 획득하는 과정에서 지반의 공간적 변동성과 복잡한 지질조건으로 인해 불확실성이 발생하며 이는 부정확한 결과를 초래한다. 따라서 이러한 불확실성을 정량화하기 위하여 확률론적 기법이 활용되어 왔다. 그러나 확률론적 분석을 수행하기 위해 필요한 입력변수의 확률특성은 현장 조사나 실험에서의 수량 제약으로 인하여 정확하게 파악하기 힘들다는 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 원인으로 인해 발생하는 불확실성을 다루기 위하여 퍼지집합이론(fuzzy set theory)을 활용하였다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 퍼지집합이론과 몬테카를로기법(Monte Carlo simulation)을 결합한 분석기법을 제안하였고 이를 실제 산사태가 발생한 연구지역에 적용하여 적정성을 파악하였다. 이를 위하여 1998년 8월 대규모의 산사태가 발생한 경상북도 상주시 일대를 연구지역으로 선정하고 산사태 취약성 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 퍼지몬테카를로기법(Fuzzy Monte Carlo simulation)의 예측 정확도 비교를 위해, 기존의 확률론적 기법인 몬테카를로기법(Monte Carlo simulation)과 안전율 수행 결과와 비교분석 하였다. 그 결과 퍼지몬테카를로기법(Fuzzy Monte Carlo simulation)이 다른 기법에 비해 가장 좋은 예측의 정확도를 보였다.

혼탁매질에서 산란체와 흡수체의 영향은 빛산란에 의해 파장에 대한 산란세기로 설명된다. New Austria Tunnel Method의 수지에 대한 산란의 분자특성들은 연구하기 위해 Monte Carlo Simulation하였다. 이는 산란매질에서 광학적 파라미터들(${\mu}_s$, ${\mu}_a$, ${\mu}_t$)에 의해 조사되어 그들의 영향을 알 수 있었다. 산란매질에서 광자에 대한 빛분포에 의한 결과는 광원에서 검출기까지 거리가 가까우면 산란이 증가하여 산란세기가 크게 나타났다. 이는 강구조물의 내구성을 위한 코팅과 부식에서 좋은 모델을 디자인하는데 도움이 될 것이다.
