Response of harbor structure to environmental loads such as wave load, impact load, ship's contacting load, is a fundamental factor in designing of the structure's optimal configuration. In this paper, typical environmental loads against coastal structures are investigated for designing of the optimal harbor structure. Loads to be considered here are wave load, impact load and contacting load due to ship mooring. Statistical analysis for several harbor structure types under the corresponding loads is carried out, followed by investigation of effect of individual environmental load. Based on these, the optimal configuration for the harbor structure is obtained after considerable engineering process. Estimation of contacting load of the ship is suggested using effective energy concepts for the load, and analysis of structural behavior is done for the optimal designing of the structure in the particular load. A guideline for the design process of the harbor structure is established, and safety of the structure is examined by proposed scheme. For verification of the analytical approach, various steel-piled coastal structures and caissons are chosen and relevant structural analyses are carried out using the Finite Element Methods combined with MIDAS/GTS and ANSYS code. It is found using the Morison equation that impact load cannot be a major load in the typical harbor structure compared with the original wave load, and that configuration shape of the structure may play an important role in consideration of the response criteria.

This thesis has suggested a method of applying the Maximum Principle of Pontryagin to the optimal control of distributive electrical networks. In general, electrical networks consist of branches, nodes, sources and loads. The effective values of steady state currents and voltages are independent of time but only expressed as the functions of position. Moreover, most of the node voltages and branch currents are not predetermined, that is, initially unknown, and their inherent loop characteristics satisfy only Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws. The Maximum Principle, however, needs the initial fixed values of all state variables for its standand way of application. In spite of this inconsistency this thesis has undertaken to suggest a new approach to the successful solution of the above mentioned networks by introducing scaling factors and a state variable change technique which transform the boundary-value unknown problem into the boundary-value partially fixed and partially free problem. For the examples of applying the method suggested, the control problems for minimizing copper quantity in a distribution line have been solved with voltage drop constraint imposed on. In the case of uniform load distribution it has been shown that the optimal wire diameter of the distribution line is reciprocally proportional to the root of distance. For the same load pattern as above the wire diameter giving the minimum copper loss in the distribution line has been shown to be reciprocally proportional to distance.

방사선 치료에 있어서 치료전 및 치료도중에 치료부위를 확인하기 위한 수단으로 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 포탈필름은 높은 에너지를 이용하여 촬영되는 것이므로 영상이 매우 흐리며 어둡다는 구조적인 문제점이 있다. 이러한 영상을 개선하기 위하여는 치료필드와 그 주변필드로 영상을 먼저 분할한 후, 각 필드 별로 영상처리를 해야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 소벨 탐지자, 레이블링 기법을 이용하여 최적의 문턱치를 찾아내어 포탈영상을 분할 한 후 형태학적 세선화기법들을 적용하여 포탈영상 분할하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이 알고리즘은 포탈영상에서 불필요한 에지들은 제거하고 치료필드 에지만을 탐지하며 촬영조건이 수시로 변하는 임상적 환경에서 얻어지는 포탈영상들에 적용하여도 균일한 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

로켓엔진 연소기의 음향 안정성 향상을 위해 고안된 반파장 공명기의 음향학적 설계를 실험적으로 연구하였다. 표준 음향시험 절차에 따라 음향파 응답 신호가 측정되었다. 신호를 토대로, 감쇠인자와 흡음계수가 정량적으로 평가되었고, 이로부터 공명기의 음향감쇠 성능을 파악하였다. 공명기의 직경과 개수, 분포가 공명기의 설계 인자로 채택되었다. 직경이 증가함에 따라 음향감쇠 효과가 증가하였다. 경계흡수 계수가 감소함에 따라 최적 공명기 개수가 감소함을 알았다. 공명기의 open-area 비가 최적값을 초과할 때 과감쇠가 발생하였고, 이로 인해 음향 감쇠 효과가 저하됨을 관찰하였다.

Shape optimization of internally finned circular tube has been peformed for periodically fully developed turbulent flow and heat transfer. The physical domain considered in this study is very complicated due to periodic boundary conditions both streamwise and circumferential directions. Therefore, Pareto frontier sets of a heat exchanger can be acquired by coupling the CFD and the multi-objective genetic algorithm, which is a global optimization technique. The optimal values of fin widths $(d_1,\;d_2)$ and fin height (H) are numerically obtained by minimizing the pressure loss and maximizing the heat transfer rate within ranges of $d_1=0.2\sim1.5\;mm,\;d_2=0.2\sun1.5\;mm,\;and\;H=0.2\sim1.5\;mm$. The optimal values of the design variables are acquired after the fifth generation and also compared to those of a local optimization algorithm for the same geometry and conditions.

A Fortran program was developed to determine the optimal locations of an artificial recharge well. Three objective functions were considered: (1) maximizing the recovery rates, (2) maximizing the injection rates, and (3) minimizing the coefficient of variation of the increased pumping rates. We also suggested a new aggregate objective function which combined the first and the third objective functions. The model results showed that locating the injection well inside the cluster of pumping wells was desirable if either the recovery or the injection rate was taken into account. However, the injection well located outside the cluster evenly increased the pumping rates in existing pumping wells. Therefore, for clustered pumping wells, installing an injection well at the center or the upstream of the pumping wells seems beneficial. For linear arrangement of pumping wells parallel to the constant head boundary, locating the injection well in the upstream was recommended. On the contrary, in case of the linear arrangement perpendicular to the constant head boundary, the injection well installed on both sides of the central part of the pumping wells was preferable.

Jung and Yoo proposed the first image interpolation-based reversible data hiding algorithm. Although their algorithm achieved superior interpolation results, the embedding capacity was insufficient. Lee and Huang proposed an improved algorithm to enhance the embedding capacity and the interpolation results. However, these algorithms present limitations to magnify the original image to any resolution and pixels in the boundary region of the magnified image are poorly manipulated. Furthermore, the capacity and the image quality can be improved further. This study modifies the pixel mapping scheme and adopts a bilinear interpolation to solve boundary artifacts. The modified reference pixel determination and an optimal pixel adjustment process can effectively enhance the embedding capacity and the image quality. The experimental results show our proposed algorithm achieves a higher embedding capacity under acceptable visual distortions, and can be applied to a magnified image at any resolution. Our proposed technique is feasible in reversible data hiding.

Submerged breakwaters can be installed underneath floating structures to reduce the external wave loads acting on the structure. The objective of this study was to establish an optimization analysis framework to determine the corresponding shape and position of the submerged breakwater that can minimize or maximize the external forces acting on the floating structure. A two-dimensional frequency-domain boundary element method (FD-BEM) based on the linear potential theory was developed to perform the hydrodynamic analysis. A metaheuristic algorithm, the advanced particle swarm optimization, was newly coupled to the FD-BEM to perform the optimization analysis. The optimization analysis process was performed by calling FD-BEM for each generation, performing a numerical analysis of the design variables of each particle, and updating the design variables using the collected results. The results of the optimization analysis showed that the height of the submerged breakwater has a significant effect on the surface piercing body and that there is a specific area and position with an optimal value. In this study, the optimal values of the shape and position of a single submerged breakwater were determined and analyzed so that the external force acting on a surface piercing body was minimum or maximum.

레벨셋 기법과 위상민감도를 이용하여 선형 탄성 구조물에 대하여, 초기 설계형상에 의존성이 없는 위상 및 형상 최적설계 기법을 개발하였다. 레벨셋 기법에서는 복잡한 위상 형상변화를 쉽게 다루기 위해 초기 영역은 고정한 채 레벨셋 함수로 표현되는 암시적 이동경계로 경계를 표현한다. 해밀턴-자코비(H-J) 방정식과 수치적으로 강건한 기법인 'up-wind scheme'은 컴플라이언스 목적함수를 최소화시키고 허용체적 제약조건을 만족시키면서, 초기 암시적 경계를 법선 속도장에 따라 최적의 형상으로 이끌어 낸다. 점근적인 정규화 개념에 근거하여, 구멍의 반지름을 0으로 접근시켜 형상 미분의 극한을 취한 위상민감도를 고려하였다. 최적조건으로부터 유도된 라그란지안의 감소 방향을 이용하여 H-J 방정식을 갱신하기 위한 속도장을 결정하였다. 개발한 방법에서는 위상민감도로부터 얻어지는 지표를 이용하여 구멍을 언제든지 어디에서나 생성가능하기 때문에 초기 구멍이 최적 형상을 얻기 위해 요구되지 않는다는 사실을 확인하였다. 또한 효율적인 최적화 과정을 위해서는 구멍 생성을 위한 조정변수의 적절한 선택이 중요함을 확인하였다.

According to Plato's ontology, we lead our lives by establishing a relationship with others in the society. However in rapidly changing era, our lives was gradually moving towards personal tendency. Even for the relationship with family, not with others. Thus, awareness about owning properties has changed due to the sociocultural factors and increase number of single-person households. So in this study, the considerations for single-person housing were perceived through preceding research, and the elements making spatial boundary of shared housing were drawn to make rational space sharing based on the boundary with others and of the living environment. With overall analysis based on the spatial boundary features of planned shared housing, the plan characteristics according to the spatial boundary of the current shared housing is to be drawn and analyzed. Third, The expressive and structural features of spatial boundary as above appear with mutual flexible connectivity, And the result shows that the modularity was the highest. Among them variable coupling modularity of shows how it is possible to combine efficiently and variously the private and public spaces with regularity of 'space of optimal unit'. This study drew plan characteristics from more detailed space border of shared housing. Therefore, The basic framework of the characteristics spin for the cases that newly emerge later on.
