The homogenization method and the density function method are common approaches to evaluate the equivalent material properties for design cells composed of matter and void. In this research, using a new topology optimization method based on the homogenized material with a penalty factor and the chessboard prevention strategy, we obtain the optimal layout of a structure for the natural frequency of a designated mode. The volume fraction of nodes of each finite element is chosen as the design variable and a total material usage constraint is imposed. In this paper, the subspace method is used to evaluate the eigenvalue and its corresponding eigenvector of the structure for the designated mode and the recursive quadratic programming algorithm, PLBA algorithm, is used to solve the topology optimization problem.

We show how a supplier can peg cost measures to the reliability of his time guarantees via the penalty costs considered in the framework. The framework also enables us to study the connections between the logistics network and the market. In this context, we show that even when the market base increases significantly, the supplier can still use the logistics network designed to satisfy lower demand density, with only a marginal reduction in profit. Finally we show how the framework is useful to evaluate and compare various logistics system improvement strategies. The supplier can then easily choose the improvement strategy that increases his profit with the minimal increase in his logistics costs.

EGR(Exhaust Gas Recirculation) is an effective strategy to control nitrogen oxides emissions from diesel engine. The EGR reduces $NO_x$ through lowering the oxygen concentration in the combustion chamber as well as through heat absorption. However, application of EGR system is difficult because of the penalty in fuel consumption and the increase in particulate matter. The engine used for the experimental was a 3-cylinder 0.8-liter turbo-charged light duty diesel engine with an electronic EGR valve. In this study, experiments were performed at variable vehicle speeds and loads on the chassis dynamometer. To evaluate the exhaust emissions with the EGR system testing was performed using cvs-75 mode test procedure. Results of the cvs-75 mode test achieve sufficiently to meet EURO3 standards.

A GA-based optimization technique is adopted in the paper to obtain optimal future control inputs for predictive control systems. For reliable future predictions of a process, we identify the underlying process with an NNARX model structure and investigate to reduce the volume of neural network based on the Lipschitz index and a criterion. Since most industrial processes are subject to their constraints, we deal with the input-output constraints by modifying some genetic operators and/or using a penalty strategy in the GAPC. Some computer simulations are given to show the effectiveness of the GAPC method compared with the adaptive GPC algorithm.

This paper considers asset liability management problems when their deterministic equivalent formulations are general nonlinear optimization problems. The presented approach uses a nonmonotone trust region strategy for solving a sequence of unconstrained subproblems parameterized by a scalar parameter. The objective function of each unconstrained subproblem is an augmented penalty-barrier function that involves both primal and dual variables. Each subproblem is solved approximately. The algorithm does not restrict a monotonic decrease of the objective function value at each iteration. If a trial step is not accepted, the algorithm performs a non monotone line search to find a new acceptable point instead of resolving the subproblem. We prove that the algorithm globally converges to a point satisfying the second-order necessary optimality conditions.

As an effort of mitigating hazards, pro-environmental programs have been vigorously activated with regard to solid waste recycling. It is beneficial for both the environment and resource saving, but implementation and enforcement are hard to achieve voluntarily. The South Korean Government first implemented the Deposit Refund System (DRS) and later the Extended Producer Responsibility Program (EPR) to reduce waste and encourage recycling in South Korea. Un-der the DRS, producers would pay for recycling the wastes of the products. The government then repealed the DRS and implemented the EPR program. Under this program, the producers recycle as much as the Ministry of Environment determines or pay a penalty for an excessive amount of the waste. In the broader perspective of disaster management, such policy programs can mitigate environmental hazards. This paper compares those two programs that facilitated the level of recycling, focusing on how such programs regulate producers and how they were operated from the perspective of implementation and enforcement.

A human is an expert in manipulation. We have acquired skills to perform dexterous operations based upon knowledge and experience attained over a long period of time. It is important in robotics to understand these human skills, and utilize them to bring about better robot control and operation It is hoped that the neurocontroller can be trained and organized by simply presenting human teaching data, which implicate human intention, strategy and expertise. In designing a neurocontroller, we must determine the size of neurocontroller. Improper size may not only incur difficulties in training neural nets, e.g. no convergence, but also cause instability and erratic behavior in machines. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the proper size of neurocontroller for human control transfer. In this paper, a new pruning method is developed, based on the penalty-term methods. This method makes ...

Trajectory planning is a key technology for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to achieve complex flight missions. In this paper, a terminal constraints conversion-based Gauss pseudospectral trajectory planning optimization method is proposed. Firstly, the UAV trajectory planning mathematical model is established with considering the boundary conditions and dynamic constraints of UAV. Then, a terminal constraint handling strategy is presented to tackle terminal constraints by introducing new penalty parameters so as to improve the performance index. Combined with Gauss-Legendre collocation discretization, the improved Gauss pseudospectral method is given in detail. Finally, simulation tests are carried out on a four-quadrotor UAV model with different terminal constraints to verify the performance of the proposed method. Test studies indicate that the proposed method performances well in handling complex terminal constraints and the improvements are efficient to obtain better performance indexes when compared with the traditional Gauss pseudospectral method.

000년부터 2030년까지의 한국 원전연료주기의 최적전략을 도출하기 위하여 선형계획법을 사용하였다. 최적화를 위한 결정 인자로서는 원전연료 주기비용, 요소비용의 불확실성, 우라늄 소요량을 사용하였다. 위의 인자들을 동시에 고려하기 위하여 각각에 대한 만족도 중 최소값을 최대화하는 퍼지 의사결정기법을 이용하였다. 사용 후 원전 연료에 대한 가능한 선택대안으로는 직접처분, DUPIC, 재처리를 가정하였다. 한국의 원전연료주기 전략은 2010년경부터 재처리를 시작하여 그 처리용량을 2025년경에는 800톤까지 점차로 늘려 나가고, DUPIC 처리를 2025년경부터 시작하는 것이 최적인 것으로 나타났다. 요소비용의 불확실성과 우라늄 소요량을 고려함으로써 단순히 비용만을 고려한 경우보다 총비용은5.4%증가하나, 요소비용 불확실성은 7.1%, 우라늄 소요량은 6. d1％ 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 무선통신에서 유한개의 전략집합을 갖는 전력제어 문제를 게임이론을 통하여 분석하였다. 기존의 게임이론을 이용한 전력제어에서는 개방루프 제어에서와 같이 초기전송 전력을 결정하는 연속적인 게임 모델에 국한된 반면, 본 논문에서는 폐루프 전력제어에서와 정해진 전력제어 step size 만큼 전력을 올리거나 내리는 전력제어 문제를 게임 이론의 전형적인 모델 중의 하나인 죄수 딜레마 모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 전력을 올리는 전략이 내쉬 균형임을 증명하였고, 따라서 이와 같은 상황에서는 모든 단말기가 자신의 전력을 향상시키려고 시도하기 때문에 전체 시스템 측면에서는 효율적이지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 인접 셀 간 간섭이 심각한 환경에서 효율적인 전력제어 알고리즘을 구현하기 위하여 게임모형의 효용함수를 새롭게 정의하였고, 그 결과 모든 단말이 자신의 효용함수를 최대화 하려고 노력한다고 하더라도 자신의 송신 전력이 일정한 수준으로 유지될 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하였다.
