In general, the reliabilities of the fuzzy system are represented and analyzed by real numbers between zero and one, fuzzy numbers, intervals of confidence, interval-valued fuzzy sets, vague sets, etc. This paper addresses the method to analyze the reliability of the fuzzy system for the weighted components with the weights reflected on the importance of weighted components in an system. The reliabilities and the weights of the weighted components in a fuzzy numbers and considers the weights of the weighted components in a fuzzy system, therefore, its execution is faster and more flexible than the conventional methods.

We develop the weighted-averaging finite-element method which uses four kinds of element sets. By constructing global stiffness and mass matrices for four kinds of element sets and then averaging them with weighting coefficients, we obtain a new global stiffness and mass matrix. With the optimal weighting coefficients minimizing grid dispersion and grid anisotropy, we can reduce the number of grid points required per wavelength to 4 for a $1\%$ upper limit of error. We confirm the accuracy of our weighted-averaging finite-element method through accuracy analyses for a homogeneous and a horizontal-layer model. By synthetic data example, we reconfirm that our method is more efficient for simulating a geological model than previous finite-element methods.

In the conventional researches, the reliabilities of the fuzzy system are represented and analyzed by real values between zero and one, fuzzy numbers, intervals of confidence, etc. In this paper, we present a method to represent and analyze the reliabilities of the weighted components of the fuzzy system and the weights reflected on their importance based on vague sets defined in the universe of discourse [0, 1]. The vague set is represented as the interval consisted of the truth-membership functions and the false-membership functions, therefore it can allow the reliabilities and the weights of a fuzzy system to represent in a more flexible manner. The proposed method considers the weights of the weighted components in the fuzzy systems, its reliability analysis is more flexible and effective than the conventional methods.

최근 요소망의 구성없이 공학적인 문제의 해석이 가능한 무요소법이 많은 학자들에 의하여 제안되고 이에 관한 집중적인 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 갤러킨 정식화에 의한 무요소법을 고체역학적인 문제에 적용하여 이의 특성을 규명하고자 하였다. 특히 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 몇가지 가중 함수를 선정하여 이들이 해석결과에 미치는 특성과 절점 배치방법 및 가중 함수의 영향 영역 변화에 따른 해의 정확도 등을 서로 비교하고 검토하였다. 연구결과로 가중 함수의 형태와 영향 영역의 크기, 기정 함수의 차수와 절점 배치방법 등은 서로 상관관계를 갖고 해의 정확도에 크게 영향을 미침을 확인할 수 있었고 이의 적절한 선정은 무요소해석의 중요한 요건임을 알 수 있었다.

특이 가중함수로 표현된 shepard interpolant와 일관조건을 사용하여 무요소법 형성함수를 도출하였다. 따라서 통상의 EFGM(Element Free Galerkin Method)과는 달리 변위로 주어지는 경계조건을 자연스럽게 부과할 수 있다. 수치계산 예로서 외팔보 문제를 다루었는데 보이론과 비교하여 매우 잘 맞는 결과를 보여주고, 유한요소법과의 결합도 자연스럽게 이루어짐을 보인다. 또 penny-shaped 균열을 다루는데, 응력확대계수는 균열 표면의 변위로부처 직접 계산하여 해석해와 비교한다.

추계론적 해석은 구조계 내의 해석인수에 존재하는 공간적 또는 시간적 임의성이 구조계 반응에 미치는 영향에 대한 고찰을 목적으로 한다. 확률장은 구족계 내에서 특정한 확률분포를 가지는 것으로 가정된다. 구조계 반응에 대한 이들 확률장의 영향 평가를 위하여 통계학적 추계론적 해석과 비통계학적 추계론적 해석이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비통계학적 추계론적 해석방법 중의 하나인 가중적분법을 제안하였다. 특히 구조계의 공간적 임의성이 큰 특성을 가지고 있는 반무한영역에 대한 적용 예를 제시하고자 한다. 반무한영역의 모델링에는 무한요소를 사용하였다. 제안된 방법에 의한 해석 결과는 통계학적 방법인 몬테카를로 방법에 의한 결과와 비교되었다. 제안된 가중적분법은 자기상관함수를 사용하여 확률장을 고려하므로 무한영역의 고려에 따른 해석의 모호성을 제거할 수 있다. 제안방법과 몬테카를로 방법에 의한 결과는 상호 잘 일치하였으며 공분산 및 표준편차는 무한요소의 적용에 의하여 매우 개선된 결과를 나타내었다.

The extension of the weighted integral method in the area of stochastic finite element analysis is presented. The use of weighted integral method in numerical analysis was extended to CST(constant strain triangle) element by Deodatis to calculate the response variability of 2D stochastic systems. In this paper, the extension of the weighted integral method for general plane-elements is represented. It has been shown that the same mesh used in the deterministic FE analysis can be used in the stochastic FE analysis. Furthermore, because the CST element is a special case which has constant strain-displacement matrix the mingling of CST elements with the other quadrilateral elements in the analysis may also be possible.

In this paper, a stochastic field that is compatible with Monte Carlo simulation is suggested for an expansion-based stochastic analysis scheme of weighted integral method. Through investigation on the way of affection of stochastic field function on the displacement vector in the series expansion scheme, it is noticed that the stochastic field adopted in the weighted integral method is not compatible with that appears in the Monte Carlo simulation. As generally recognized in the field of stochastic mechanics, the response variability is not a linear function of the coefficient of variation of stochastic field but a nonlinear function with increasing variability as the intensity of uncertainty is increased. Employing the stochastic field suggested in this study, the response variability evaluated by means of the weighted integral scheme is reproduced with high precision even for uncertain fields with moderately large coefficient of variation. Besides, despite the fact that only the first-order expansion is employed, an outstanding agreement between the results of expansion-based weighted integral method and Monte Carlo simulation is achieved.

The objective of this study is to develop an efficient and accurate quadratic finite element model based on Streamline Upwind/Petrov Galerkin (SU/PG) scheme for analyzing and predicting two dimensional flow features in complex natural rivers. For a development of model, quadratic tin, quadrilateral and mixed elements as well as linear tin, quadrilateral and mixed elements were used in the model. Also, this model was developed through reinforcement of Gauss Quadrature which was necessary to integral of governing equation. Several tests for bottom-rising channel and U-type channel were performed for the purpose of validation and verification of the developed model. Such results showed that solutions of second order elements are better accurate and improved than those of linear elements. Results obtained by the developed model and RMA-2 model are compared, and the results for the developed model were better accurate than those of RMA-2 model. In the future if the developed model is applied in natural rivers, it can provide better accurate results than those of existing model.

Based on the weighted residual concept[4], a three-dimensional plate theory is derived using a Fourier series expansion of a dependent variable and a weighted residual approximation of the basic elasticity equations. The weighted residual equilibrium equations of the plate are expressed in terms of weighted displaced quantities, and the results are then interpreted by means of a potential energy functional. The potential energy expression is used to develop a finite element implementation. For illustrative purposes, the application of the theory to a strip plate is considered and two numerical examples of a cantilever and a simply-supported strip plate are studied.
