A two-stage method for damage detection in truss systems is proposed. In the first stage, a modal residual vector based indicator (MRVBI) is introduced to locate the potentially damaged elements and reduce the damage variables of a truss structure. Then, in the second stage, a differential evolution (DE) based optimization method is implemented to find the actual site and extent of damage in the structure. In order to assess the efficiency of the proposed damage detection method, two numerical examples including a 2D-truss and 3D-truss are considered. Simulation results reveal the high performance of the method for accurately identifying the damage location and severity of trusses with considering the measurement noise.

A spatio-temporal searcher structure for 3rd generation W-CDMA systems is proposed to enhance the detection capability of the multi-path searcher for the desired signal. This searcher employs the spatio-temporal signal structure to search for newly emerging multipath signals. The proposed multi-path searcher provides better detection capability andthus reduces the mean acquisition time. The detection and false alarm probabilities of new and conventional schemes are calculated and numerical examples of mean acquisition time are given thereafter.

In this paper, we propose an enhanced AGC (Automatic Gain Control) structure and P-SCH detection method for initial cell search in 3GPP (3rdGenerationPartnershipProject) LTE (Long Term Evolution) FDD(Frequency Division Duplex) / TDD (Time Division Duplex) dual mode system. Since TDD frame structure consists of uplink subframe and downlink subframe, conventional AGC structure causes P-SCH detection performance degradation by increase of AGC variation due to signal power difference between uplink and downlink subframe. Also, P-SCH detection performance is degraded by distortion of P-SCH correlation characteristic in frequency offset and multipath fading channel environments. Therefore, we propose an AGC structure which can minimize P-SCH detection performance degradation with stable operation in 3GPP LTE TDD mode as well as FDD mode. Also we propose a P-SCH detection method which can reduce distortion of correlation chareteristics in frequency offset and multipath fading environments and obtain good P-SCH detection performance. Simulation results show that the proposed AGC structure and P-SCH detection method have stable AGC operation and excellent P-SCH detection performance for 3GPP LTE TDD / FDD dual mode downlink receiver in various channel environments.

Structral crack of RC structure generally occurs when the tension stress by applied load is larger than tension resistance of concrete, and it means deterioration of structure and the decrease of load resistance. Because structural crack of structure can occur critical damage to structure occasionally, the research on crack detection algorithm of RC structure is needed for assurance of structural safety and effective maintenance of structure. In this paper, we executed the laboratory test on measuring strain of RC beam's tension and compression zone, using strain gauge which is widely used on strain measurement of civil structure. By using measured strain, we analyzed strain change, elastic modulus change, and neutral axis change to detect crack of RC beam. As a result, we proposed the simple and effective crack detection algorithm using trends of neutral axis position change.

This paper presents damage detection and estimation of stiffness parameter on a concrete scale model and a real structure of concrete pontoon using dynamic properties such as mode shapes and natural frequencies. In case of damage detection, dynamic impact test on a concrete scale model is accomplished to extract mode shapes and the practicality is verified by utilizing a damage detection technique. And the stiffness parameter of a real structure of concrete pontoon was estimated via system identification technique using the natural frequencies of the structure. The results indicate that the damaged elements of the scale model are found exactly using damage detection technique and the effective stiffness property of the real structure of concrete pontoon can be estimated by system identification technique.

This paper proposes the structure of an agent and rules for fault detection and location on LAN. To find out a reason of critical fault incurred LAN, collision detection rule, error detection rule, broadcast detection rule, system location rule, and Internet application location rule ar shown. Also, the structure of multi-agent system and state transition diagram is portrayed to have connectivity with he set of rules. To verify availability of proposed rules, the process to find a faulty system is shown by monitoring and analyzing the LAN fault occurrences from the proposed set of rules. Such an rule based agent system is helpful to an Internet manager to solve a reason of fault and make ad decision from gathering management information.

A Detection filter that can be used for the Detection and Isolation of process faults is proposed by the use of fault vector modelling, and is applied to DC Motor fault detection. The proposed detection filter is a new one in a view point that its outputs are the estimates of fault variables(or linear combination of them) while all the existing filters estimate the state of process. By this properties, the process fault detection systems with this filter can be constructed in very simple structure. Besides the simplicity of structure and design procedure, the filter has an useful feature that various types of fault can be estimated via the filter by choosing appropriate fault models.

Learning program's behavior using machine learning techniques based on system call audit data is an effective intrusion detection method. Rule teaming, neural network, statistical technique, and hidden Markov model are representative methods for intrusion detection. Among them neural networks are known for its good performance in teaming system call sequences. In order to apply it to real world problems successfully, it is important to determine their structure. However, finding appropriate structure requires very long time because there are no formal solutions for determining the structure of networks. In this paper, a novel intrusion detection technique using evolutionary neural networks is proposed. Evolutionary neural networks have the advantage that superior neural networks can be obtained in shorter time than the conventional neural networks because it leams the structure and weights of neural network simultaneously Experimental results against 1999 DARPA IDEVAL data confirm that evolutionary neural networks are effective for intrusion detection.

This paper analysis the performance of joint receiving structure consisting of the decorrelating multiuser detection and beamfromenr-RAKE receive for DS-CDMA communication systems. In asynchronous transmission as the number of simultaneous users increase. the capacity of CDMA system becomes severly reduced due to the nonideal orthogonality between user-assigned PN sequences and improper power control. Accordingly, the CDMA receiving system becomes vulnerable to the multiple access interferences and the near-far problem under multipath fading channel environment. To withstand these undesired performance degradations, this paper proposes the new type of multiuser detection which has a form of the hybrid structure of concatenating beamformer-RAKE receiver and decorrelating multiuser detection. the beam former-RAKE receiver performs temporal and spatial diversity combining with alleviating fading effect and suppressing undesired interferences, and the multiuser detection plays a role of making the receiver robust to the near-far problem. Regarding the individual merit on the usage of either multiuser detection or beamformer-RAKE receiver, the hybrid one is expected to produce the enhanced performance in multipath fading CDMA channel. However major drawback of using decorrelating multiuser detection for practical deployment is arised from its computational complexity , which is exponentially increased as more number of users and transmitted symbols involve. To diminish the computational complexity, this paper exploits an efficient block Toeplitz inversion technique using matrix Levinson polynomial will be introduced. And this paper provided the mathematical analysis to show the efficiency of the proposed joint structure under the multipath propagation environment. And results of a series of exhaustive computer simulations are presented in order to demonstrate the overall performance of the proposed hybrid structure in multipath fading CDMA channel.

This study utilizes various approaches for new topic detection in the process of assigning and updating descriptors, which is a representation method of the knowledge structure. Particularly in the case of occurring changes on the knowledge structure due to the appearance and development of new topics in specific study areas, new topic detection can be applied to solving the impossibility or limitation of the existing index terms in representing subject concepts. This study confirms that the majority of newly developing topics in information science are closely associated with each other and are simultaneously in the phase of growth and development. Also, this study shows the possibility that the use of candidate descriptor lists generated by new topic detection methods can be an effective tool in assisting indexers. In particular. the provision of candidate descriptor lists to help assignment of appropriate descriptors will contribute to the improvement of the effectiveness and accuracy of indexing.
