The main objective of this study is to examine the accuracy of the complete quadratic combination (CQC) rule with the modal responses defined by the ordinates of the uniform hazard spectra (UHS) to evaluate the peak responses of the multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems subjected to nonstationary seismic excitations. For the probabilistic analysis of the peak responses, it is considered that the seismic excitations can be modeled using evolutionary power spectra density functions with uncertain model parameters. More specifically, a seismological model and the Kanai-Tajimi model with the boxcar or the exponential modulating functions were used to define the evolutionary power spectral density functions in this study. A set of UHS was obtained based on the probabilistic analysis of transient responses of single-degree-of-freedom systems subjected to the seismic excitations. The results of probabilistic analysis of the peak responses of MDOF systems were obtained, and compared with the peak responses calculated by using the CQC rule with the modal responses given by the UHS. The comparison seemed to indicate that the use of the CQC rule with the commonly employed correlation coefficient and the peak modal responses from the UHS could lead to significant under- or over-estimation when contributions from each of the modes are similarly significant.

We will construct polynomials of degree 6 in z and $\bar{z}$ on $C^2$ which gives, via its coefficient $\beta$ as a parameter, a family of pseudoconvex domains $\Omega_\beta$ in $C^2$ with the origin being a boundary point, and show that the domains $\Omega_\beta$ has no peak functions of class $c^1$ at the origin and has no holomorphic support functions for $1 \leq \beta < \frac{9}{5}$.

Let $\Omega$ be a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain in $C^n$ and let $A(\Omega)$ denote the functions holomorphic on $\Omega$ and continuous on $\bar{\Omega}$. A point $p \in b\Omega$ is a peak point if there is a function $f \in A(\Omega)$ such that $f(p) = 1, and $\mid$f(z)$\mid$ < 1 for z \in \bar{\Omega} - {p}$.

This paper proposes a new peak-windowing algorithm with window-length adaptation for peak-to-average power reduction (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Conventional peak windowing algorithm has advantages, such as moderate system complexity with good spectral shape. However, adjacent peak signals within the length of window functions produce the distortion of signal amplitude since window functions might overap with each other. These undesired characteristics of conventional peak windowing algorithm result in the degradation of BER performance. The proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional one with the aid of window-length adaptation. Simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm under the environments of WiBro downlink systems.

The main objective of critical excitation methods is to reveal the worst possible response of structures. This goal is accomplished by considering the uncertainties of ground motion, which is subjected to the appropriate constraints, such as earthquake power and intensity limit. The concentration of this current study is on the theoretical optimization aspect, as is the case with the majority of conventional critical excitation methods. However, these previous studies on critical excitation lead to a discontinuous power spectral density (PSD). This paper introduces some critical excitations which contain proper continuity in frequency domain. The main idea for generating such continuous excitations stems from the combination of two continuous functions. On the other hand, in order to provide a non-stationary model, this paper attempts to present an appropriate envelope function, which unlike the previous envelope functions, can properly cover the natural earthquakes' accelerograms based on multi-peak conditions. Finally, the proposed method is developed into the multiple-degree-of-freedom (M.D.O.F) structures.

본 논문에서는 e-navigation을 위한 합성 이진 옵셋 반송파 (composite binary offset carrier: CBOC) 신호에 알맞은 주변 첨두 제거 기법을 제안한다. 우선, CBOC 신호의 부반송파를 일정한 폭을 갖는 여러 개의 부분 부반송파 펄스로 나누고, 그에 따라 CBOC 자기상관함수를 여러 개의 부분상관함수의 합으로 해석한다. 다음으로, 주변 첨두를 제거할 뿐만 아니라 측위 성능 향상을 위해 부분상관함수를 조합하여 뾰족한 주 첨두를 갖는 새로운 상관함수를 제안한다. 모의실험을 통해 제안한 상관함수가 기존 상관함수들보다 측위 성능이 더 좋다는 것을 보인다.

The paper presents a new global maximum search method for multimodal unknown functions of two variables. The search method is composed of two stages and sequentially samples the candidate point in a subdomain selected using a priority function in each stage. The search domain is auto-similarly divided into triangular subdomains, or cells, during the search process. A measure of accuracy of local maximum search is introduced to check if a local search has converged to a specified accuracy or the maximum of a local peak cannot be the global maximum. A criterion for switching from the first to the second stage, is proposed using a ratio of the observed peak width to the largest cell in the domain. By numerical simulations, the required number of trials is evaluated for some function models with different peak parameters, and the switching criterion is optimally determined. The results show that the proposed method obtains global maximum points with certainty and saves largely computation time even for functions with extremely steep peaks.

This paper discusses real-time peak shaving algorithms for a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS). Although several transmission and distribution functions could be implemented for diverse purposes in BESS applications, this paper focuses on a real-time peak shaving algorithm for an energy time shift, considering wind power generation. In a high wind penetration environment, the effective load levels obtained by subtracting the wind generation from the load time series at each long-term cycle time unit are needed for efficient peak shaving. However, errors can exist in the forecast load and wind generation levels, and the real-time peak shaving operation might require a method for wind generation that includes comparatively large forecasting errors. To effectively deal with the errors of wind generation forecasting, this paper proposes a real-time peak shaving algorithm for threshold value-based peak shaving that considers fuzzy wind power generation.

The characteristics of the coherence functions of X axial, Y axial, and RZ axial (i.e., body axis) wind forces on the Shanghai World Trade Centre - a 492 m super-tall building with section varying along height are studied via a synchronous multi-pressure measurement of the rigid model in wind tunnel simulating of the turbulent, and the corresponding mathematical expressions are proposed there from. The investigations show that the mathematical expressions of coherence functions in across-wind and torsional-wind directions can be constructed by superimposition of a modified exponential decay function and a peak function caused by turbulent flow and vortex shedding respectively, while that in along-wind direction need only be constructed by the former, similar to that of wind speed. Moreover, an inductive analysis method is proposed to summarize the fitted parameters of the wind force coherence functions of every two measurement levels of altitudes. The comparisons of the first three order generalized force spectra show that the proposed mathematical expressions accord with the experimental results well. Later, the influences of coherence functions on wind-induced dynamic responses are analyzed in detail based on the proposed mathematical expressions and the frequency-domain method of random vibration theory.
