A domain/boundary decomposition method is applied for efficient analyses of thermo-elasto-viscoplastic damage and contact problems under the assumption of infinitesimal deformation. For the decomposition of a whole domain and contact boundaries, all the equality constraints on the interface and contact interfaces are restated with simple penalty functional. Therefore, the non-linearity of the problem is localized within finite element matrices in a few subdomains and on contact interfaces. By setting up suitable solution algorithms, the computational efficiency can be improved considerably. The general tendency of the computational efficiency is illustrated with some numerical experiments.

In this paper, we propose a penalized likelihood method to detect local spatial clusters associated with disease. The key computational algorithm is based on genlasso by Tibshirani and Taylor (2011). The proposed method has two main advantages over Kulldorff's method which is popoular to detect local spatial clusters. First, it is not needed to specify a proper cluster size a priori. Second, any type of covariate can be incorporated and, it is possible to find local spatial clusters adjusted for some demographic variables. We illustrate our proposed method using tuberculosis data from Seoul.

A genetic algorithm (GA) is a stochastic direct search strategy that mimics the process of genetic evolution. The GA applied herein works on a population of structural designs at any one time, and uses a structured information exchange based on the principles of natural selection and wurvival of the fittest to recombine the most desirable features of the designs over a sequence of generations until the process converges to a "maximum fitness" design. Principles of genetics are adapted into a search procedure for structural optimization. The methods consist of three genetics operations mainly named selection, cross- over and mutation. In this study, a method of finding the optimum topology of truss/beam structure is pro- posed by using the GA. In order to use GA in the optimum topology problem, chromosomes to FEM elements are assigned, and a penalty function is used to include constraints into fitness function. The results show that the GA has the potential to be an effective tool for the optimal design of structures accounting for sizing, geometrical and topological variables.variables.

Displacement fields and interface stresses are obtained by modifying the potential energy functional with a penalty function which enforces the continuity of stresses at the interface of two-materials. Based on the displacement field and the interface stresses, a new methodology to generate a continuous stress field over the entire domain including the interface of the dissimilar materials has been proposed by combining the L$^{2}$ projection method of stress-smoothing and the Loubignac's iterative method of improving the displacement field. Stress analysis was carried out on two examples which are made of highly dissimilar materials. As a result of the analysis, it is found that the proposed method provides improved continuity of the stress field over the entire domain as well as predicting accurate nodal stresses at the interface. In contrast, the conventional displacement-based finite element method provides significant stress discontinuties at the interfaces. In addition, it was found that the total strain energy evaluated from the improved continuous stress field converge to the exact value as increasing the number of iterations in the proposed method.

전력산업 구조개편이후 송전체제, 특히 송전요금체계에 관한 연구가 미흡한 가운데 자연적 독점을 유지하게 될 송전에 대한 정부의 규제가 중요성을 가지게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 여러 정부 규제방안들을 비교 검토하여 최적방안 모색을 위한 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 송전요금은 비용반영 투명성, 비(非)차별, 경쟁 등의 원칙을 지켜야 하고 이런 송전요금에는 경제적 효율성 사회 복지, 비용 최소 운영 등의 증진을 위해 한계비용이 반영되어야 한다. 하지만, 송전 네트웍은 규모의 경제에 종속되는 장기 투자로 구성된다. 이런 조건에서는 한계비용은 정의되기 어렵다. 그러므로 송전요금은 단기적 한계비용들의 신호와 장기적으로는 적절한 비용회수의 보장들과의 타협조정을 해야 한다. 네트웍 요금은 경쟁 정책의 원칙을 준수할 필요가 있으며 어떤 한 네트웍 회사도 과도한 요금을 부과한다든지 또는 사용자들을 차별한다든지 또는 약탈적(predatory) 방식으로 행동할 시에는 지배적 지위 남용에 대해 벌칙을 당하게 되어있다. 송전요금에 관한 결정은 공공서비스 의무비용, 특정 소비자그룹 우대를 위한 국가 정책들과 같은 사회적 목적들에 의해 제한을 받는다. 현존하는 대표적인 정부규제방안인 가격상한제와 투자보수율 규제방식을 검토한 결과 유도된 중요한 사실은 가격상한제 규제방식이 기업들로 하여금 위험(risk)에 좀 더 종속되게 만들지만 반면에 비용절감을 위한 강력한 인센티브를 주어 효율성 향상을 기할 수 있게 만든다는 것이다. 이러한 사실은 가격상한제 규제방식이 정부규제의 기본원칙에 더 많이 부합되며 궁극적인 경제체제의 목표인 자원의 효율적 배분에 더 가깝다는 것을 의미한다.

new domain/boundary decomposition method is suggested to perform efficient finite element analyses of contact problems. A penalty method is used for connecting an interface or contact interfaces with neighboring subdomains that satisfy continuity conditions. As a result, the derived effective stiffness matrices are always positive definite, and computational efficiency can be improved to a considerable degree. Moreover, any complex-shaped domain can be divided into independently modeled subdomains without considering the conformity of meshes along the interface. Using a computer code based on the present method, these advantageous features are confirmed through a set of numerical examples.

This paper considers an uplink power control scheme for a virtual multi-input multi-output (MIMO) multi-cell system where multiple mobile stations with single transmit antenna form a virtual MIMO link. Unlike the conventional approach of the game theoretic formulation to add a power penalty term to improve the performance, a constraint on the total effective interference power is introduced to the maximization of the utility function of the transmission rate with linear receive beamforming. Introducing inertia, we show that the proposed power control is guaranteed to converge. The simulation results verify that the proposed power allocation can significantly improve the performance in an interference limited multi-cell system.

Support vector machine is known to be the very useful statistical method in classification and nonlinear function estimation. In this paper we propose a monotone support vector regression (SVR) for the estimation of monotonically decreasing function. The proposed monotone SVR is applied to smooth the Kaplan-Meier estimate of survival function. Experimental results are then presented which indicate the performance of the proposed monotone SVR using survival functions obtained by exponential distribution.

유도전동기(이하 $''$모터$''$라 한다)는 기본 원리가 19세기말에 발명된 이래 100년 이상의 역사를 갖고 있으며 그 동안 제조업의 기간동력으로 성장하여 왔고, 재료의 진보(코어, 전선, 절연 등)와 설계기술$\cdot$해석기술$\cdot$제조기술의 개발로 각 특성의 향상, 소형$\cdot$경량화, 고성능화가 도모되어 왔다. 그러나 최근의 지구온난화를 포함한 환경보호와 화석에너지 고갈위기감으로 에너지절약 움직임이 가속화되고 있어, 모터에 대해서도 고효율화의 요구가 높아가고 있다. 미국이나 캐나다에서는 규격이나 법률에 의한 모터의 효율규제가 실시되어, 특히 1997년 10월 24일에 시행된 미국에너지정책법(EPAct)은 미국 국내에서 제조$\cdot$판매 또는 해외로부터 수입되는 모터단체(단체)나 기계에 조립되어 있는 모터도 미국에너지정책법에서 규정하고 있는 효율기준치를 충족하지 못할 경우에는 벌칙이 부과되는 엄격한 실정이다. 일본에서는 종래 고효율모터의 효율기준치는 일본전기공업회 기술자료 제137호(성에너지를 위한 전동기의 선정과 운용)에 따르고 있었으나 미국에너지정책법을 기초로 새로히 일본공업규격(JIS C 4212)이 2000년 7월에 제정되었다. 미쓰비시(삼릉)전기는 일본의 JIS 규격과 EPAct법 양쪽의 효율기준치를 만족하는 고효율모터를 시리즈화하고 또한 미국에너지성의 적합증명번호(CC넘버)를 일본 국내 메이커로서는 처음으로 취득하였기에 다음에 고효율모터와 모터의 고효율화 기술에 대하여 소개한다.

The paper proposes an algorithm which finds a nonlinear cut path for a printed grayscale touching character image. The conventional algorithms were observed to fail in situations of complicated touching. We analyzed those situations, and based on the analysis results we identified problematic issues of the conventional algorithms. We modified the conventional algorithms in two aspects. First we propose a new penalizing term which is probable to guide correctly the cut path for touching situations difficult to separate. Second the preposed algorithm adopts a strategy of producing both the downward and upward paths and selecting better one. The experimental results on actual touching character images showed that the proposed algorithm was superior th conventional algorithms by 3~4% in terms of success ratio of separation.
