Torsional behavior of eccentric structure under seismic leading may cause the stress and/or deformation concentration, which arouse the failure of the structure in an unexpected manner. This study suggests D-R relationship which shows the overall displacement and rotation of the system based on the ultimate displacement capacity of the each lateral load resistant member. Using the suggested D-R relationship and displacement spectrum, the seismic assessment is conducted and verified in comparison with the time history analysis result. Multi-level seismic assessment Is considered which takes multiple seismic hazard levels and respective performance levels into account. Finally, based on the seismic assessment result, seismic rehabilitation process is presented. In this research, two rehabilitation methods are considered. One is done by means of stiffening/strengthening the seismic resistant members, and the other is based on the member ductility. Especially, in the first method, to optimize the rehabilitation result, the rehabilitation problem is modeled as an optimization problem, and solved using BFGS quasi-Newton optimization method.

A method that predicts the flying state of the head slider in an optical disk drive (ODD) or a hard disk drive(HDD) was investigated. The dual solver based on the Newton method and the quasi-Newton method have been developed to simulate the steady-state flying conditions. The numerical results show the effectiveness and reliability of this new solver.

This paper compared and investigated the choice of optimal algorithm affects on the directivity synthesis of linear array in the satisfaction to the design specification of the desired directivity, convergence characteristic, and adaptability. Optimal algorithms use a quasi-Newton method(DFP and BFGS method) for realizing the desired directivity, used a quasi-ideal beam, steering beam, and a multi-beam, chosen as desired directivity. In the numerical result, this paper verified the effectiveness of the quasi-Newton method to the directivity synthesis, and offered a solving approach of occurred problems in the numerical simulation process.

하상경사가 커서 동수역학적 부정류 계산모형을 안정적으로 적용하기 어렵고, 홍수파의 감쇄효과가 적은 중소하천에 적합한 준정상류 계산모형을 개발하였다. 수립된 모형은 매 시각 유량에 대하여 1차원 하천 부등류 지배방정식인 단면 평균된 1차원 에너지 방정식을 풀도록 구성되어 있으며, 수치해법으로는 Newton-Raphson 방법을 적용한 표준축차법을 사용하였다. Newton-Raphson 방법을 적용하기 위해서는 통수면적, 하폭, 윤변, 동수반경 및 수위에 대한 윤변의 변화율 등의 변수들이 필요하다. 이와 같은 변수들은 각 계산점에서 수위를 계산하기에 앞서 단면자료를 사용하여 0.1 m 간격으로 모든 수위에 대하여 그 값들을 미리 구한 후, 반복 계산 단계에서 사용되는 수위에 대하여 필요한 변수들을 앞서 계산된 변수들과 선형 보간하여 사용하도록 하였다. 하천 구간내에 보가 존재하는 경우에는 보가 위치한 상 하류 간의 지배방정식으로 에너지 방정식 대신에 월류 유량 관계식을 사용하였으며, 이때의 수치해법 역시 Newton-Raphson 방법을 사용하였다. 수립된 모형을 한탄강 하류 구간에 적용하여 HEC-RAS 모형과 모의 결과를 비교한 결과, 두 모형의 계산결과가 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 에너지 경사항의 근사 방법에 따른 민감도 분석을 실시하였다.

본 연구에서는 공간적 변수인 조도계수를 기지의 수위값을 이용하여 최적값을 결정하는 방법에 대해서 검토하고자 한다. 최적화 기법에 의한 조도계수는 기지의 수위값과 수치모의에 의한 결과 값의 전체 오차를 최소화하는 값으로 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 3가지 최적화 기법을 이용하였으며 가상 수로에 대해서 적용하였다. 수위계산은 표준축차법에 의해 수행하였으며 사용된 최적화 기법은 quasi-Newton 방법이다. 1차원 모형은 Matlab을 이용하여 표준축자법으로 구성하였으며 BFGS 기법, L-BFGS 기법, Steepest Gradient Descent 기법 등도 Matlab으로 구성하였다. 표준축차법은 조도계수가 입력되면 기지의 수위값과의 2-norm을 계산하도록 구성하였다. 계산 결과에 의하면 세가 기법 모두 20 23회 정도의 반복계산을 수행하고 값이 수렴되었는데, L-BFGS의 경우에는 정확하게 음수의 조도계수로 수렴하였으며, BFGS기법과 Steepest Gradient 기법의 경우에는 양의 값으로 정확하게 수렴하였다.

Algorithms for solving a set of nonlinear simultaneous equations, which is frequently required in problems of controlling nonlinear processes, are proposed. Here the equation variables are first parameterized and a recursive identification technique is utilized. The forms and characteristics of the resultant algorithms are vary similar to the Broyden's quasi-Newton method, but their derivations and final recursion equations are different. Our methods possess almost all the merits of the Broyden's and numerical comparisons show our methods to be more efficient and reliable for some difficult problems.

We have developed several methods for the optimization problem having large-scale and highly nonlinear system. First, step by step method in optimization process was employed to improve the convergence. In addition, techniques of furnishing good initial guesses for analysis using sensitivity information acquired from optimization iteration, and of manipulating analysis/optimization convergency criterion motivated from simultaneous technique were used. We applied them to flow control problem and verified their efficiency and robustness. However, they are based on quasi-Newton method that approximate the Hessian matrix using exact first derivatives. However solution of the Navier-Stokes equations are very cost, so we want to improve the efficiency of the optimization algorithm as much as possible. Thus we develop a true Newton method that uses exact Hessian matrix. And we apply that to the three-dimensional problem of flow around a sphere. This problem is certainly intractable with existing methods for optimal flow control. However, we can attack such problems with the methods that we developed previously and true Newton method.

The objective of this study is to develop efficient numerical method to enable solution of optimal control problems of Navier-Stokes flows and to apply these technique to the problem of viscous drag minimization on a bluff body by controlling boundary velocities on the surface of the body. In addition to the industrial importance of the drag reduction problem, it serves as a model for other more complex flow optimization settings, and allows us to study, modify, and improve the behavior of the optimal control methods proposed here. The control is affected by the suction or injection of fluid on portions of the boundary, and the objective function represents the rate at which energy is dissipated in the fluid. This study shows how reduced Hessian successive quadratic programming method, which avoid converging the flow equations at each iteration, can be tailored to these problems.

This paper is devoted to a convergence study of the nonlocal integral operator in peridynamics. The implicit formulation can be an efficient approach to obtain the static/quasi-static solution of crack propagation problems. Implicit methods require constly large-matrix operations. Therefore, convergence is important for improving computational efficiency. When the radial influence function is utilized in the nonlocal integral equation, the fractional Laplacian integral equation is obtained. It has been mathematically proved that the condition number of the system matrix is affected by the order of the radial influence function and nonlocal horizon size. We formulate the static crack problem with peridynamics and utilize Newton-Raphson methods with a preconditioned conjugate gradient scheme to solve this nonlinear stationary system. The convergence behavior and the computational time for solving the implicit algebraic system have been studied with respect to the order of the radial influence function and nonlocal horizon size.

In this paper, impulse-momentum theory was coupled to a constitutive equation both for implementing quasi-static and impact characteristics of EPP (Expanded polypropylene). Also, parameters which have physical meanings were expressed as functions of relative density. Simultaneous nonlinear Newton-Raphson method was applied to find the proper values for parameters in the constitutive equation along with quasi-static test data. Results from the impulse-momentum theory coupled constitutive equation showed good agreement with experimental data and the potential to be applied to different material type polymeric foam.
