Many RC building structures of multiple uses constructed in Korea have the irregularities of torsion and soft story at bottom stories. A typical irregular building was selected as prototype and shaking table tests were performed to investigate the seismic performance of this building. The objective of this study is to evaluate the correlation between the experimental and analytical responses of this irregular building structure subjected to the earthquake excitation by using OpenSees(Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation). The results of analyses simulate well the behavior of the building having torsional irregularity and weak stories.

In this paper, a stage-structured predator prey model (stage structure on prey) with two discrete time delays has been discussed. The two discrete time delays occur due to maturation delay and gestation delay. Linear stability analysis for both non-delay as well as with delays reveals that certain thresholds have to be maintained for coexistence. Numerical simulation shows that the system exhibits Hopf bifurcation, resulting in a stable limit cycle.

Simple genetic algorithm(SGA) has been used to optimize a lot of structural optimization problems because it can optimize non-linear problems and obtain the global solution. But, because of large evolving populations during many generations, it takes a long time to calculate fitness. Therefore this paper applied micro-genetic algorithm(μ -GA) to structural optimization and compared results of μ -GA with results of SGA. Additionally, the Paper applied μ -GA to gate optimization problem for injection molds by using simulation program CAPA.

This paper presents a quasi-steady model of vibrations of two cylinders in a side-by-side arrangement. The cylinders have flexible support and equal diameters. The model assumes that both cylinders participate in the process of vibration, each of them having two degrees of freedom. The movement of cylinders is described by a set of four non-linear differential equations. These equations are evaluated on the basis of a numerical simulation and experimental data. Moreover many features of cylinder vibrations are found from numerical results and are described in this paper.

In this paper, we propose some estimators for the extreme value distribution based on the interval method and mid-point approximation method from the progressive Type-I interval censored sample. Because log-likelihood function is a non-linear function, we use a Taylor series expansion to derive approximate likelihood equations. We compare the proposed estimators in terms of the mean squared error by using the Monte Carlo simulation.

In this paper, we propose a method to improve the positioning accuracy of TOA based indoor positioning system in NLOS environments. TOA based indoor positioning systems have been studied mostly considering LOS environments. However, it is almost impossible to maintain the LOS environments due to obstacles such as people, furniture, walls, and so on. The proposed method in this study compensates the range error caused by the NLOS environments. We confirmed that positioning accuracy of a proposed method is improved than conventional algorithms through simulation and field test.

The closed-loop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system has been adopted by long term evolution (LTE) system. Many techniques are proposed to enhance the transmission of LTE's advanced version to meet the increasing requirement, in which differential codebook gains a lot of interest. Previous researches on designing differential codebooks focused on quasi-diagonal unitary matrix which cannot guarantee the equal gain property. The equal gain property is very important to uplink because the performance of uplink is very sensitive to the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). In this paper, we derive the analytical expression of average bit error rate and PAPR for differential precoding MIMO system. Using the analytical results, we investigate the performances of several differential precoding schemes considering non-linear amplifier at the transmitter. Some selected simulation results indicate that the conventional differential precoding schemes have good performances without the consideration of non-linear amplifier. While considering non-linear amplifier, the proposed differential codebook outperforms other differential precoding schemes because it maintains the equal gain per transmit antenna.

This paper proposes the design of circularly polarized multi band antenna for a non-linear junction detector (NLJD) system. In order to design for broad bandwidth, the CPW (Co-Planar Waveguide) feeding method is considered in this design. In order to realize the circular polarization, the axial ratio was controlled by inserting a $45^{\circ}$ inclined slot on radiating element and by cutting an edge of the radiating patch. Measurement results of return loss, bandwidth, axial ratio, polarization pattern and gain are agreed well with their simulation results in interested frequency band at 2.4~ 2.44 GHz, 4.84~4.92 GHz, and 7.28~7.32 GHz.

In this study, the numerical investigation of the non-linear behavior of the fluid flow with physical properties, such as porosity and intrinsic permeability of a porous medium, and kinematic viscosity of a fluid, are carried out. The applied numerical model is ANSYS CFX which is the three-dimensional fluid dynamics model and this model is verified through the application of existing physical and numerical results. As a result of the verification, the results of the pressure gradient-velocity relationship and the friction coefficient-Reynolds number relationship produced from this study show relatively good agreement with those from existing physical and numerical experiments. As a result of the simulation by changing the porosity and intrinsic permeability of a porous medium and the kinematic viscosity of a fluid, the kinematic viscosity has the biggest effect on the non-linear behavior of the fluid flow in the porous medium.

This paper proposes the design of broadband spiral antenna for a potable non-linear junction detector (NLJD) system. To realize the broadband antenna design, it was considered optimization of the number of spiral turns by iteration calculation. Ground plane with the Archimedean spiral slit to keep the same current distribution between radiating plane and ground is considered for circular polarization design. In order to realize high directivity and high gain of the proposed antenna, the cavity wall and the metal cap which is located on back of ground plane were also considered in design. Measurement results of return loss were agreed well with VSWR 2:1 at interested frequency band among 2.4 to 2.44 GHz, 4.84 to 4.92 GHz and 7.28 to 7.36 GHz. Measured axial ratio was observed 3 dB below and showed reasonable agreement with simulation results. Characteristics of the RHCP(Right Hand Circular Polarization) with the measured gain of 6.8 dBi above at interested frequency band were also observed.
