A simple force-finding process based on an optimization technique is proposed for tensegrity structures. For this purpose, the inverse problem of form-finding process is formulated. Therefore, the position vector of nodes and element connectivity information are provided as priori. Several benchmark tests are carried out to demonstrate the performance of the present force-finding process. In particular, the force density distributions of simplex tensegrity are thoroughly investigated with the important parameters such as the radius, height and twisting angle of simplex tensegrity. Finally, the force density distribution of arch tensegrity is produced by using the present force-finding process for a future reference solution.

In this paper, we first introduce two one-parameter relaxation (OPR) iterative methods for solving singular saddle point problems whose semi-convergence rate can be accelerated by using scaled preconditioners. Next we present formulas for finding their optimal parameters which yield the best semi-convergence rate. Lastly, numerical experiments are provided to examine the efficiency of the OPR methods with scaled preconditioners by comparing their performance with the parameterized Uzawa method with optimal parameters.

We consider the application of complex variable method to elastic problem and investigate the nonlinear effect of finite torsion of a compressible elastic composite layer. We obtain that as a result of finite deformation approach, a tube subjected to torsion decreases in radius giving rise to a “hold effect”.

The vibration of the dehydration process in a washing machine is important problem that affects the performance of products. In this paper, the upper structure of a washing machine is modeled as rigid body suspension system and, by numerical analysis, the amplitude of a spin basket and the transfer moment at a base plate are calculated. To examine the vibrational characteristics according to design variable change, the friction coefficient in anubber, the radius of curvature, the stiffness coefficient, initial length and locations of support springs are considered in the analysis. Experimental results are compared with those of analysis.

This paper treats the problem of estimating the longitudinal velocity of a braking vehicle using measurements from an accelerometer and wheel speed data from standard anti-lock braking wheel speed sensors. We develop and experimentally test three velocity estimation algorithms of increasing complexity. The algorithm that works the best gives peak errors of less than 3 percent even when the accelerometer signal is significantly biased.

In this study, a computer program was developed for analysis of the orthotropic curved ring sector plates. In the developing program , the thin-plate theory and multi-base coordinate system was adopted. The effect of design factors-boundary conditions, loading conditions, steel ratio, open angle, radius of curvature and relative flexural rigidity between slab and edge-beam-on the behavior of the circular ring sector plates were discussed. Also, the practical limitations was proposed to replace the problem of the orthotropic sector plate by equivalent rectangular plage.

A new extrapolation method is developed and applied to the additive angular dependent rebalance (AADR) acceleration for discrete ordinates neutron transport calculations. With this extrapolation, the convergence of AADR solution for distinct discretizations between the high- order and low-order equations is remarkably improved and thus the “inconsistent discretization problem” is resolved. Fourier analysis is also performed to find the optimal extrapolation and weighting parameters, which give the smallest spectral radius. The numerical tests demonstrate that the AADR with extrapolation works well as predicted by the Fourier analysis.

We. develop in this study a wavelet transform method to apply to the flux reconstruction problem in reactor analysis. When we reconstruct pinwise heterogeneous flux by iterative methods, a difficulty arises due to the near singularity of the matrix as the mesh size becomes finer. Here we suggest a wavelet transform to tower the spectral radius of the near singular matrix and thus to converge by a standard iterative scheme. We find that the spectral radios becomes smatter than one after the wavelet transform is performed on sample problems.

The manipulability analysis of the parallel-type rolling mill proposed in Hong et al. [1] is re-visited. The parallel rolling mill uses two Stewart platforms in opposite direction for the generation of 6 degree-of-freedom motions of each roll. The objective of this new parallel rolling mill is to permit an integrated control of the strip thickness, strip shape, pair crossing angle, uniform wear of rolls, and tension of the strip. New forward/inverse kinematics problems, in contrast with [1], are formulated. The forward kinematics problem is defined as the problem of finding the roll-gap and the pair-crossing angle of two work rolls for given lengths of twelve legs. On the other hand, the inverse kinematics problem is defined as the problem of finding the lengths of twelve legs when the roll-gap, the pair-crossing angle, and the position and orientation of one work roll are given. The method of manipulability analysis used in this paper follows the spirit of [1]. But, because the rolling force and moment exerted from both upper and lower rolls have been included in the manipulability analysis, more accurate results than the use of a single platform can be achieved. Two. kinematic parameters, the radius of the base and the angle between two neighboring joints, are optimally designed by maximizing the global manipulability measure in the entire workspace.

도로를 이용하는 이용자에게 보다 합리적인 정보 제공 및 혼란을 방지할 수 있도록 하기 위해서는 안내지명의 연계성 확보가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 안내지명의 지역적 특성 및 인지도를 반영한 지역의 중요도를 산출하여 이에 따른 영향권의 공간적 분석을 수행하여 합리적인 영향권을 제시하여 안내지명의 연계성을 확보하기위한 근거를 제시하였다. 안내지명을 선정함에 있어 의사결정 문제를 계층적으로 분석하여 대안을 결정하는 AHP 기법을 적용하여 각 안내지명의 지역적 특성 및 인지도를 반영한 상대적 중요도를 산정하였으며, 이를 이용하여 각 안내지명의 영향권 반경을 달리 설정하는 방법론을 구축하였다. 최종 영향권 반경을 설정하는 기준으로 사용한 효과 척도로서 영향권 중첩면적과 잔여면적의 합을 이용하여 그 값이 최적이 되는 대안을 최종 영향권 반경으로 결정하였다. 그 결과 본 연구에서는 안내지명의 영향권은 안내지명의 중요도에 따라 상이하며 평균적인 영향권의 범위는 중요지 11.4km, 주요지 5.9km로 나타났다.
