The curing process is the final step in tire manufacturing whereby a green tire built from layers of rubber compounds is formed to the desired shape and the compounds are converted to a strong, elastic materials to meet tire performance needs under elevated pressure and temperature in a press. A numerical optimization procedure was developed to improve product quality in a tire curing process. First, a dynamic constrained optimization problem was formulated to determine the optimal condition of the supplied cure media during a curing process. The objective function is subject to an equality constraint representing the process model that describes the heat transfer and cures kinetic phenomena in a cure press and is subject to inequality constraints representing temperature limits imposed on cure media. Then, the optimization problem was solved to determine optimal condition of the supplied cure media for a tire using the complex algorithm along with a finite element model solver.

Integrating a 3D solid modeler with a general purpose FEM code, an automatic stress intensity factor analysis system of the 3D crack problems has been developed. A geometry model, i.e. a solid containing one or several 3D cracks is defined. Several distributions of local node density are chosen, and then automatically superposed on one another over the geometry model by using the fuzzy knowledge processing. Nodes are generated and quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. Finally, the complete finite element(FE) model generated, and a stress analysis is performed. This paper describes the methodologies to realize such functions, and demonstrates the validity of the present system.

This paper investigates the possibility of exploiting haptic force-feedback technology for interacting with Nanta music. We use VR technologies including touch processing technologies and haptic devices to offer touch of cylinder objects and cup object to users. Haptic device is used to implement touch model in VR space. Matlab/Simulink and proSENCE Virtual Touch Toolbox of Handshake Inc. for experiment, are used as programing tools. Function needed to describe the movement of x, y, and z axis respectively are applied to delineate the natural movement of water in cup object modeled with 3D. A certain amount of water in cup object has the difference of sounds. In experiment, to perceive the appearance of 3D object by touch and to feel the tactile by touch are conducted with the effect of sound on Haptic perception. We also verify that it is possible to develop games or contents in VR space by using point.

수리가능 제품은 가격 비싸고 중요성이 크면서 새 제품을 구매하기 어려운 부품을 의미하며, 항공기 또는 선박의 엔진 등을 들 수 있다. 수리가능 제품에 대하여 고장이 발생할 경우 가용성을 유지하기 위하여 즉지 교체하여야 하고, 교체된 부품은 수리에 들어가야 한다. 이러한 문제에 대한 통제 시스템은 시스템의 효율성을 결정하는 중요한 요소이기 때문에, 다양한 시스템 구성에 대하여 많은 연구가 이루어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 우선 중앙 수리기지와 여러 지역 수리기지를 대상으로 하고 있으며, 물류량의 변화에 따라 중앙 수리기지와 지역 수리기지 간의 효과적인 운영 방안을 고려하고 있다. 각 지역 수리기지는 수리 운영 능력이 제한되어 있는 것으로 가정하고 있으며, 한정된 수의 여분의 제품을 유지하고 있다. 중앙 수리기지는 여분을 제품을 보유하거나 유지하지 않고 오직 수리 작업만을 수행하고 있다. 유한 가동에 대한 효율적인 알고리즘은 이러한 상황에 대하여 운영 능력의 한계를 고려하면서 효율성을 최대화하기 위하여 개발되었다. 지역 수리기지에서는 제품의 고장이 발생하는 속도와 현재 보유한 제품 수량에 따라 효율성이 바뀌고, 시스템이 보유할 수 있는 재고량과 수리할 수 있는 능력의 한계가 제한되어 있다. 대기행렬이론에 기반하여 고장율과 수리율에 의한 비용 함수를 정의하고, 최적해를 구할 수 있는 IMES(지능형 다단물류 시스템)을 개발하였다. 총 예상 재고량에 의한 재고 비용과 품절 비용을 최소화함으로써 최적의 보유 재고수량을 찾아내고 실제로 사용자가 활용할 수 있는 시간 내에 해를 구할 수 있는 효율성을 갖춘 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 전체 시스템의 총비용을 최소화하는 것이며, 예제를 통하여 알고리듬을 묘사하고 수치예제를 통한 실험을 실시하여 제안 알고리듬이 정확하고 효율적임을 보였다. 제안된 알고리즘에 의하여 매우 정확하고 효율적인 계산 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이 방법을 통해 신속하고 정확하게 많은 문제를 해결할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

RPC(Rational Polynomial Camera) models have become the replacement model of choice for a number of high resolution satellite imagery providers. RPCs(Rational Polynomial Coefficients) provide a compact accurate representation of the ground to image geometry, allowing users to perform full photogrammetric processing of satellite imagery including block adjustment, 3D feature extraction and orthorectification. This paper presents an algorithm for 3D feature extraction using downhill simpler method which requires only function evaluations, not derivatives. The algorithm was implemented as an executable software program and tested using stereo IKONOS images of Seoul city. The results showed that the proposed algorithm was fast and accurate enough to be used as a practical method for the 3D feature extraction from stereo images with RPCs.

This paper presents a generalized finite element formulation for plastic hinge modeling based on lumped plasticity in the classical Euler-Bernoulli beam elements. In this approach, the plastic hinges are effectively modeled using proper enrichment functions describing weak discontinuities of the solution. The proposed methodology enables the insertion of plastic hinges at an arbitrary location without modifying the connectivity of elements. The formations of plastic hinges are instead achieved by hierarchically adding degrees of freedom to existing elements. Convergence analyses such as h- and p-extensions are performed to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The analysis results indicate that the proposed generalized finite element method can achieve theoretical convergence rates for both cases where plastic hinges are located at nodes and within an element, thus demonstrating its accuracy.

본 논문에서는 기존에 두 가지 모델이 필요했던 작업을 하나의 모델로 처리할 수 있는 자연어 처리 아키텍처를 제안한다. 단일 모델로 알츠하이머 환자의 언어패턴과 대화맥락을 분석하고 두 가지 결과인 환자분류와 챗봇의 대답을 도출한다. 일상생활에서 챗봇으로 환자의 언어특징을 파악한다면 의사는 조기진단을 위해 더 정밀한 진단과 치료를 계획할 수 있다. 제안된 모델은 전문가가 필요했던 질문지법을 대체하는 챗봇 개발에 활용된다. 모델이 수행하는 자연어 처리 작업은 두 가지이다. 첫 번째는 환자가 병을 가졌는지 여부를 확률로 표시하는 '자연어 분류'이고 두 번째는 환자의 대답에 대한 챗봇의 다음 '대답을 생성'하는 것이다. 전반부에서는 셀프어탠션 신경망을 통해 환자 발화 특징인 맥락벡터(context vector)를 추출한다. 이 맥락벡터와 챗봇(전문가, 진행자)의 질문을 함께 인코더에 입력해 질문자와 환자 사이 상호작용 특징을 담은 행렬을 얻는다. 벡터화된 행렬은 환자분류를 위한 확률값이 된다. 행렬을 챗봇(진행자)의 다음 대답과 함께 디코더에 입력해 다음 발화를 생성한다. 이 구조를 DementiaBank의 쿠키도둑묘사 말뭉치로 학습한 결과 인코더와 디코더의 손실함수 값이 유의미하게 줄어들며 수렴하는 양상을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 알츠하이머병 환자의 발화 언어패턴을 포착하는 것이 향후 해당 병의 조기진단과 종단연구에 기여할 수 있음을 보여준다.

This article presents a new method for semi-automatic extraction of building information (height, shape, and footprint location) from monoscopic urban scenes. The proposed method is to expand Semi-automatic Volumetric Shadow Analysis (SVSA), which can handle occluded building footprints or shadows semi-automatically. SVSA can extract wrong building information from a single high resolution satellite image because SVSA is influenced by extracted shadow area, image noise and objects around a building. The proposed method can reduce the disadvantage of SVSA by using multi-spectral images. The proposed method applies SVSA to panchromatic and multi-spectral images. Results of SVSA are used as parameters of a cost function. A building height with maximum value of the cost function is determined as actual building height. For performance evaluation, building heights extracted by SVSA and the proposed method from Kompsat-2 images were compared with reference heights extracted from stereo IKONOS. The result of performance evaluation shows the proposed method is a more accurate and stable method than SVSA.

In this study, a sequential multiscale homogenization method to characterize the effective thermal conductivity of nano particulate polymer nanocomposites is proposed through a molecular dynamics(MD) simulations and a finite element-based homogenization method. The thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites embedding different-sized nanoparticles at a fixed volume fraction of 5.8% are obtained from MD simulations. Due to the Kapitza thermal resistance, the thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites decreases as the size of the embedded nanoparticle decreases. In order to describe the nanoparticle size effect using the homogenization method with accuracy, the Kapitza interface in which the temperature discontinuity condition appears and the effective interphase zone formed by highly densified matrix polymer are modeled as independent phases that constitutes the nanocomposites microstructure, thus, the overall nanocomposites domain is modeled as a four-phase structure consists of the nanoparticle, Kapitza interface, effective interphase, and polymer matrix. The thermal conductivity of the effective interphase is inversely predicted from the thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites through the multiscale homogenization method, then, exponentially fitted to a function of the particle radius. Using the multiscale homogenization method, the thermal conductivities of the nanocomposites at various particle radii and volume fractions are obtained, and parametric studies are conducted to examine the effect of the effective interphase on the overall thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites.

In recent years, the passengers are likely to decide their route on impulse due to the development of the integrated public transport system, and real-time information system. Especially, public transport fare integration in Seoul Metropolitan area, 2004 makes them not to have resistance about changing the modes or routes and their route choice is most effected by the degree of congestion. Assignment model have limitations to describe route changes by congestion. In this study, the concept of a link cost function used in road assignment and Effective frequency is introduced to describe the passengers' behavior when the capacity of public transport is over and the waiting time variation. Two situations, new transit line operation and accident, are set up to validate the model, as a result of the transit assignment by this model, the traffic on networks is not over the capacity. It is expected that this study will be of help to reflect the various behaviors in transit assignments.
