  • Design-oriented approximate structural reanalysis models are compared and assessed, particularly with focus on the case of large changes of design variables. The effectiveness and reliability are demonstrated by means of numerical examples. The results of the study suggest the following conclusions relative to the potential of the procedures. (A) local approximation is only appropriate for the case of small changes in design : (B) global approximation is exact for the case of large changes in a small number of design variables, but inefficient : (C) local-global approximation is most effective and reliable for the case of large changes with a large number of design variables. These methods can improve the total efficiency when they are appropriately used to the design information for the redesign process of large scale structures.

  • Process mining is an analytical technique aimed at obtaining useful information about a process by extracting a process model from events log. However, most existing process models are deterministic because they do not include stochastic elements such as the occurrence probabilities or execution times of activities. Therefore, available information is limited, resulting in the limitations on analyzing and understanding the process. Furthermore, it is also important to develop an efficient methodology to discover the process model. Although genetic process mining algorithm is one of the methods that can handle data with noises, it has a limitation of large computation time when it is applied to data with large capacity. To resolve these issues, in this paper, we define a stochastic process tree and propose a tabu search-genetic process mining (TS-GPM) algorithm for a stochastic process tree. Specifically, we define a two-dimensional array as a chromosome to represent a stochastic process tree, fitness function, a procedure for generating stochastic process tree and a model trace as a string of activities generated from the process tree. Furthermore, by storing and comparing model traces with low fitness values in the tabu list, we can prevent duplicated searches for process trees with low fitness value being performed. In order to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, we performed a numerical experiment by using two kinds of event log data used in the previous research. The results showed that the suggested TS-GPM algorithm outperformed the GPM algorithm in terms of fitness and computation time.

  • Ship design engineering refers to the development and design of shipbuilding architectures in a drawing which reflects all relevant manufacturing processes. This paper provides analysis methods for model-information interfaces between hull structure design and outfitting design, and a technical application for manufacturing phases reflecting the pipe support pad and angle item automatically. The existing information procedure of pipe support pad and angle system processes information using drawing without model specification. Outfitting design team directly distributes drawings to the shop floor then manual-based marking and installation work are conducted refer to the distributed drawings. As a result, this process has become time consuming and causes problems in the productivity and quality improvement due to the rework caused by omitted or incorrect marking. The pipe support pad and angle marking is a method that automatically updates model information to hull structure design using sets of data that analyse the generated model in outfitting design processes. Therefore, this approach provides an efficient solution through design references without manual activities such as a reflection of hull structure design, cutting process, numerical control work, and dimension measurement and marking. The conversion of a method from the existing procedure based on manual marking to the reflective and automatic approach would have enabled to proceed installation work without manual activities for the measurement. Therefore, this research study proposes an efficient approach using pre-data analysis of model information interfaces between design and manufacturing phases to improve productivity during construction for shipbuilding.

  • In recent years, the demand for ships and offshore platforms that can navigate and operate through the Arctic Ocean has been rapidly increasing due to global warming and large reservoirs of oil and natural gas in the area. Winterization design is one of the key issues to consider in the robust structural safety design and building of ships that operate in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic regions. However, international regulations for winterization design in Arctic condition regulated that only those ships and offshore platforms with a Polar Class designation and/or an alternative standard. In order to cope with the rising demand for operating in the Arctic region, existing and new Arctic vessels with a Polar Class designation are lacking to cover for adequate winterization design with HSE philosophy. Existing ships and offshore platform was not designed based on reliable data based on numerical and experiment studies. There are only designed as a performance and functional purposes. It is very important to obtain of reliable data and provide of design guidance of the anti-icing structures by taking the effects of low temperature into consideration. Therefore, the main objective of this paper reconsiders anti-icing design of aluminum helideck using the heating cable. To evaluate of reliable data and recommend of anti-icing design method, various types of analysis and methods can be applied in general. In the present study, finite element method carried out the thermal analysis with cold chamber testing for performance and capacity of heating cables.

  • As a technique for removing cancerous tumors from normal tissue, radio-frequency electromagnetic waves were employed to heating target cells up to the critical temperature, which kills the cancerous cells. However, its use in treating tumors in soft organs is limited by inconvenient factors, which are use of high-currents and long time operation. In this work, the feasibility of the localized heating by inserting four conducting electrodes with tiny direct current is investigated. The heat source is resulting from the electric field as known as resistive heating. We have investigated the temperature distribution as a function of applying DC voltages ranging from 10 V to 30 V with 10 V step. From the simulation results, the mushroom-like lesion shape by applying 20 V is generated by four electrodes within a few minutes, that is proper to the clinical application.

  • 하천 개수나 치수를 위한 기초 연구의 일환으로 수치모형을 이용한 검증 및 예측 과정이 요구되어 왔고, 고전적인 수치모의 방법으로 결과 산출이 용이한 1차원 모형을 적용시켜 왔다. 1차원 모형의 경우 모의영역을 쉽게 넓힐 수 있고, 입력 자료가 간단하다는 장점이 있지만, 수직적이고 수평적인 흐름특성 변화 및 난류 구조를 보이는 3차원적인 자연하천 흐름을 종방향의 1차원적인 모의 결과를 이용하여 평가한다는 점에서 비현실적이다. 하천을 가로질러 교각이나 보와 같은 구조물이 위치하고 있거나, 좌우 비대칭적인 형상의 수로를 모의할 경우 흐름특성의 공간적인 분포는 단순한 단면 평균적인 개념으로는 설명되기 힘들다. 최근에야 비로소 수공학 관련 실무자들에 의해서 최소한 2차원 수치모형을 기본적인 평가법으로 도입해야 한다는 분위기가 감지되고 있으며, 일반적으로 한강과 같은 대하천을 모의할 경우, 대다수의 실무자들과 연구자들이 축척을 문제 삼아 수로 내부에 위치한 교각을 생략하여 2차원 모의를 수행하기도 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수로 내부에 위치한 교각을 2차원 모의하는 방법에 대한 비교 평가를 수행하고자 한다. 동일한 격자를 이용하여 교각을 고려하지 않았을 경우와 교각 형상을 모의 영역에서 삭제하여 경계처리를 하였을 경우, 마지막으로 교각이 위치하고 있는 영역에 항력을 적용하였을 경우에 대해서 비교 평가한다. 이를 위하여 2차원 천수방정식을 흐름방정식으로 하는 유한요소모형을 구축하였으며, 모형의 검증을 위해 교각이 수로에 위치할 경우에 대한 실내 실험 자료와 비교한다. 또한 검증된 모형을 이용하여 교각이 포함된 한강의 일부 구간을 선정하여, 교각 모의 방법에 대한 비교 평가를 수행한다. 본 연구에서 구축된 자료 및 제시된 수치모형은 하천복원, 치수관리 측면에서 매우 유용하게 사용될 것으로 기대된다.

  • This paper implements and integrates algorithms for terrain following of UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles): trajectory generation, guidance, and navigation. Terrain following is very important for UCAVs because they perform very dangerous missions such as Suppression of Enemy Air Defences while the terrain following can improve the survivability of UCAVs against from the air defence systems of the enemy. To deal with the GPS jamming, terrain referenced navigation based on nonlinear filter is chosen. For the trajectory generation, Voronoi diagram is adopted to generate horizontal plane path to avoid the air defense system. Cubic spline method is used to generate vertical plane path to prevent collisions with ground while flying sufficiently close to surface. Follow-the-Carrot and pure pursuit tracking methods, which are look-ahead point based guidance algorithms, are applied for the guidance. Numerical simulation is performed to verify the performance of the integrated terrain following algorithm.

  • Recently developed aircrafts use Fly-By-Wire(FBW) or Fly-By-Light(FBL) system. These systems have some merits; they can perform very complicated missions, they can expand the flight region and improve the reliability of the aircrafts. With the development of flight control systems that use FBW technique, flight envelope protection concept is introduced to guarantee reliability of the aircraft and improve the efficiency of mission achievement. In this study, flight envelope protection system is designed using a dynamic trim algorithm, a peak response estimation, and a gain scheduling technique. The performance of these methods are compared by performing numerical simulation.
