A real-case incident occurred where a 9-meter-high segment of a pre-fabricated concrete separation wall unexpectedly collapsed. This collapse was triggered by improperly depositing excavated soil against the wall's back, a condition for which the wall segments were not designed to withstand lateral earth pressure, leading to a flexural failure. The event's analysis, integrating technical data and observational insights, revealed that internal forces at the time of failure significantly exceeded the wall's capacity per standard design. The Lattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM) further replicates the collapse mechanism. Our approach involved defining various parameter sets to replicate the concrete's mechanical response, consistent with the tested compressive strength. Subsequent stages included calibrating these parameters across different scales and conducting full-scale simulations. These simulations carried out with various parameter sets, were thoroughly analyzed to identify the most representative failure mechanism. We developed an equation from this analysis that quickly correlates the parameters to the wall's load-carry capacity, aligned with the simulation. Additionally, our study examined the wall's post-peak behavior, extending up to the point of collapse. This aspect of the analysis was essential for preventing failure, providing crucial time for intervention, and potentially averting a disaster. However, the reinforced concrete residual state is far from being fully understood. While it's impractical for engineers to depend on the residual state of structural elements during the design phase, comprehending this state is essential for effective response and mitigation strategies after initial failure occurs.

Parameter set of an LPV system is divided into a number of subsets so that robust feedback gains may be designed for each subset of parameters. A concept of quasi-invariant set is introduced, which allows finite steps of delay in reentrance to the set. A feasible and positively invariant set with respect to a gain-scheduled state feedback control can be easily obtained from the quasi-invariant set. A receding horizon control strategy can be derived based on this feasible and invariant set.

This paper deals with a self-tuning fuzzy controller. The fuzzy controller is constructed with linguistic rules which consist of the fuzzy variables and fuzzy sets. Each of fuzzy sets is characterized by a membership function. The tuning fussy controller has paramemters to effect control output. In this paper we propose tuning method for the scaling factor. Computer simulations carried out on a second-order process will show how the present tuning approach improves the transient and steady-state characteristics of the overall system.

Using the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, the concepts of intuitionistic fuzzy finite state machines (iffsm), intuitionistic successor s, intuitionistic subsystems, intuitionistic submachines, intuitionistic q-twins, and intuitionistic retrievable iffsm are introduce d, and related properties are studied. Relations between intuitionistic q-twins and intuitionistic q-related iffsm are given. A characterization of an intuitionistic retrievable iffsm is provided.

The hydroalumination of cyclopropane has been investigated using the B3LYP density functional method employing several split-valence basis sets. It is shown that the reaction proceeds via an intermediate weakly bound complex and a four-centered transition state. Calculations at higher levels of theory were also performed at the geometries optimized at the B3LYP level, but only slight changes in the barriers were observed. Structural parameters for the transition state are also reported.

This paper identifies a linear time-invariant mathematical model of each stand of a five-stand tandem cold mill to design a robust $H_\infty$ thickness controller by applying input and output data sets to N4SID (Numerical algorithms for Subspace State Space System Identification) method. The input-output data sets describe interstand interference in the process of tandem cold rolling and are obtained from a nonlinear simulator of the tandem cold mill. In result, it is shown that the identified model well approximates the nonlinear model than a Taylor linearized model. Furthermore, uncertainties including roll eccentricity and incoming strip variation are quantitatively analyzed from the plot of maximum singular values.

In this study, we examined some matters related to the learning of variable concept in school mathematics on the basis of the theoretical foundation from the previous studies(e.g. Davis, 1975; Rosnick, 1981; IK chemann, 1981; Wagner, 1983.) and practices on variable concept teaching by evaluating the current state of that. Matters be discussed are as follows; the use of symbol for place holders in elementary mathematics, the dealing with sets those elements are literals and operations of such sets, the teaching of dummy variable, the construction of literal expressions that contains variables, the labeling indeterminates as a constant, the change in the exact meaning of variable according to the function concept, the teaching of a generalization by means of variables. After considering on these matters that are connected with the teaching-learning of variable concept, we suggested the alternative proposal to the current state of variable concept teaching.

This paper identifies a discrete-time linear combustion model of Refuse Incineration Plant(RIP) which characterizes steam generation quantity, where the RIP is considered as a MIMO system with thirteen-inputs and one-output. The structure of RIP model is described as an ARX model which are analytically obtained from the combustion dynamics. Furthermore, using the Instrumental Variable(IV) identification algorithm, model structure and unknown parameters are identified from experimental input-output data sets, In result, it is shown that the identified ARX model well approximates the input-output combustion characteristics given by experimental data sets.

This paper offers an alternative approach to measure the welfare state change by using fuzzy-set methodology. The fuzzy-set method is particularly useful for assessing change across a limited number of cases, and that it can help to translate interval fuzzy membership scores into verbal qualifiers. Applying the measurement of welfare state change, four sets(accessibility, generosity, activation, state's care responsibility) in two dimensions(old and new social risks) have been identified, which reflect theoretical importance. The analysis sets out fuzzy membership scores for 12 OECD countries in the 16 possible welfare state ideal types. This paper found that each country has its own strategies to deal with the changes, however, the changes are not dramatic or a qualitative one. This does not mean that there are no changes, but that are no paradigm shifts or path breaking in the welfare state changes.
