Tensairity girder is a light weight inflatable fabric structural concept which can be used in road emergency transportation. It uses low pressure air to stabilize compression elements against buckling. With the purpose of obtaining the comprehensive target of minimum deflection and weight under ultimate load, the cross-section and the inner pressure of tensairity girder was optimized in this paper. The Variable Complexity Modeling (VCM) method was used in this paper combining the Kriging approximate method with the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method, which was implemented by ABAQUS. In the Kriging method, the sample points of the surrogate model were outlined by Design of Experiment (DOE) technique based on Optimal Latin Hypercube. The optimization framework was constructed in iSIGHT with a global optimization method, Multi-Island Genetic Algorithm (MIGA), followed by a local optimization method, Sequential Quadratic Program (SQP). The result of the optimization gives a prominent conceptual design of the tensairity girder, which approves the solution architecture of VCM is feasible and efficient. Furthermore, a useful trend of sensitivity between optimization variables and responses was performed to guide future design. It was proved that the inner pressure is the key parameter to balance the maximum Von Mises stress and deflection on tensairity girder, and the parameters of cross section impact the mass of tensairity girder obviously.

최근 교육학, 경영학, 심리학 등 사회과학 뿐만 아니라 공정관리, 생물정보학 등 자연과학에서도 널리 사용되고 있는 구조식 모형(structural equation modeling)에서 잠재변수점수(latent variable score)는 직접 측정이 불가능한 잠재변수를 수량화한 추정치이다. 이 연구에서는 구조식 모형을 단계(stage)별로 분할하여 분석하는 단계별 구조식 모형(stagewise SEM; SSEM)을 제안하였다. 기존 방법은 모든 관측변수의 분산-공분산을 한꺼번에 고려하므로 독립변수인 외생잠재변수(exogenous latent variable)가 종속변수인 내생잠재변수(endogenous latent variable)에 의해 영향을 받는, 논리적으로 타당하지 않은 경우가 있다. 단계별 구조식 모형은 이런 문제점을 해결할 뿐만 아니라 모형의 복잡성을 낮추어 쉽게 해를 찾을 수 있으며, 분석과정에서 생성되는 잠재변수점수로 추가 분석도 용이하다.

Regression analysis (RA) can establish an explicit formula to predict the strength of High-Performance Concrete (HPC); however, the accuracy of the formula is poor. Back-Propagation Networks (BPNs) can establish a highly accurate model to predict the strength of HPC, but cannot generate an explicit formula. Genetic Operation Trees (GOTs) can establish an explicit formula to predict the strength of HPC that achieves a level of accuracy in between the two aforementioned approaches. Although GOT can produce an explicit formula but the formula is often too complicated so that unable to explain the substantial meaning of the formula. This study developed a Backward Pruning Technique (BPT) to simplify the complexity of GOT formula by replacing each variable of the tip node of operation tree with the median of the variable in the training dataset belonging to the node, and then pruning the node with the most accurate test dataset. Such pruning reduces formula complexity while maintaining the accuracy. 404 experimental datasets were used to compare accuracy and complexity of three model building techniques, RA, BPN and GOT. Results show that the pruned GOT can generate simple and accurate formula for predicting the strength of HPC.

본 논문에서는 TI사의 부동소수점 DSP인 TMS320C6701$^{TM}$을 이용한 2.4kbps EHSX(Enhanced Harmonic Stochastic Excitation) 음성부호화기의 실시간 구현 방법에 대해서 논한다. EHSX는 4khz의 대역폭을 갖는 음성신호를 2.4kbps의 비트율을 갖는 압축 패킷으로 변환하는 부호화 방법으로, 유/무성음에 따라 하모닉(Harmonic) 여기 부호화 방법과 CELP 부호화 방법을 선택적으로 사용하는 구조를 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 EHSX의 실시간 구현을 위해 연산량의 큰 비중을 차지하는 CELP 분석의 코드북 검색부분과 일부 IIR 필터링 부분에 대한 고정소수점 변환 방법과, 부호화시 하모닉 검색 및 피치 검색방법에 대한 알고리즘 상 연산량 감소 방법, DSP의 구조를 고려한 코드를 배치방법 등 연산량을 감소시키기 위한 최적화 방법을 제시한다. 설계된 음성 부호화기는 PESQ(perceptual evaluation of speech quality) ITU-T Recommendation P.862를 이용한 음질 평가 결과로서 약MOS 3.28을 얻었으며, 실시간으로 압축 및 복원을 수행한다.

The paper presents the equivalent circuit of an induction machine (IM) model which includes fundamental stray load and iron losses. The corresponding equivalent resistances are introduced and modeled as variable with respect to the stator frequency and flux. Their computation does not require any tests apart from those imposed by international standards, nor does it involve IM constructional details. In addition, by the convenient positioning of these resistances within the proposed equivalent circuit, the order of the conventional IM model is preserved, thus restraining the inevitable increase of the computational complexity. In this way, a compromise is achieved between the complexity of the analyzed phenomena on the one hand and the model's practicability on the other. The proposed model has been experimentally verified using four IMs of different efficiency class and rotor cage material, all rated 1.5 kW. Besides enabling a quantitative insight into the impact of the stray load and iron losses on the operation of mains-supplied and vector-controlled IMs, the proposed model offers an opportunity to develop advanced vector control algorithms since vector control is based on the fundamental harmonic component of IM variables.

Due to the nonlinearity and complexity of the three-phase photovoltaic inverter, we propose an intelligent control based on fuzzy logic and the classical proportional-integral-derivative. The feedback linearization method is applied to cancel the nonlinearities, and transform the dynamic system into a simple and linear subsystem. The system is transformed from abc frame to dq0 synchronous frame, to simplify the state feedback linearization law, and make the close-loop dynamics in the equivalent linear model. The controls improve the dynamic response, efficiency and stability of the three-phase photovoltaic grid system, under variable temperature, solar intensity, and load. The intelligent control of the nonlinear characteristic of the photovoltaic automatically varies the coefficients $K_p$, $K_i$, and $K_d$ under variable temperature and irradiation, and eliminates the oscillation. The simulation results show the advantages of the proposed intelligent control in terms of the correctness, stability, and maintenance of its response, which from many aspects is better than that of the PID controller.

The effect of variable hit probabilities in the stochastic duel are examined. The objective of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of combat under the situations which we assume either round dependent hit probabilities or time dependent hit probabilities. Due to the complexity of an analytic approach to large-sized battles, a simulation modeling technique has been introduced. several specific examples are demonstrated fire allocation strategies. Output measures are compared among cases each with its own type of hit probability fashion such as constant, round to round, or time dependent manners. For these specific cases, the advantages of round to round improvement or increasing function of time for the hit probability are displayed.

This study presents a novel approach based on advancements in Evolutionary Computation for data-driven modeling of complex multi-dimensional memory-dependent systems. The investigated example is a benchmark coupled three-dimensional system that incorporates 6 Bouc-Wen elements, and is subjected to external excitations at three points. The proposed technique of this research adapts Genetic Programming for discovering the optimum structure of the differential equation of an auxiliary variable associated with every specific degree-of-freedom of this system that integrates the imposed effect of vibrations at all other degrees-of-freedom. After the termination of the first phase of the optimization process, a system of differential equations is formed that represent the multi-dimensional hysteretic system. Then, the parameters of this system of differential equations are optimized in the second phase using Genetic Algorithms to yield accurate response estimates globally, because the separately obtained differential equations are coupled essentially, and their true performance can be assessed only when the entire system of coupled differential equations is solved. The resultant model after the second phase of optimization is a low-order low-complexity surrogate computational model that represents the investigated three-dimensional memory-dependent system. Hence, this research presents a promising data-driven modeling technique for obtaining optimized representative models for multi-dimensional hysteretic systems that yield reasonably accurate results, and can be generalized to many problems, in various fields, ranging from engineering to economics as well as biology.

쓰러기 소각로는 다음과 같은 불명확한 요소들을 포함한다. 즉 연료로 사용되는 쓰레기의 물리적 특성의변동 그리고 연소현상의 복잡성 등이다. 이것은 기존의 제어기법을 쓰레기의 연소제어에 적용하기가 매우 어렵게 만든다. 따라서 대부분의 쓰레기 소각로는 조작자의 운전에 의존한다. 본 논문에서는 쓰레기 소각로의 연소제어를 위한 다변수퍼지모델 예측제어를 제안한다. 쓰레기 소각로의 모델을 구하기 위해 적응 네트워크에 기초한 퍼자추론시스템이 사용되고 동정된 퍼지 모델을 이용하여 다변수 퍼지모델 예측제어기가 설계된다. 그리고 제안된 제어기의 성능을 평가하기 위해 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션이 수행되었다.
