본 연구에서는 사장교의 제어기법 개발을 위한 구조물로 제공되는 벤치마크(benchmark) 사장교에 대해 복합제어 기법을 적용하였다. 이 벤치마크 문제에서는 2003년 완공 예정으로 미국 Missouri 주에 건설 중인 Cape Girardeau 교를 대상 구조물로 고려하였다. Cape Girardeau 교는 New Madrid 지진구역에 위치하고, Mississippi 강을 횡단하는 주요 교량이라는 점 때문에 설계단계에서부터 내진 문제에 대하여 자세하게 고려되었다. 상세 설계도면을 기반으로 하여 교량의 전체적인 거동 특성을 정확하게 나타낼 수 있는 3차원 모델이 만들어졌고, 사장교의 제어 성능에 관련된 평가 기준이 수립되었다. 본 연구에서 사용한 복합제어 기법이란 지진하중으로 인해 구조물에 발생되는 하중을 줄이기 위한 수동제어 기법과 상판변위와 같은 구조물의 응답을 추가적으로 제어하기 위한 능동제어 기법이 결합된 제어방법이다. 수동제어 장치로는 현재 일반적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 납고무받침(lead rubber bearing)을 사용하였다. 능동제어 방법에는 $H_2$/LQG 제어 알고리듬(algorithm)을 사용하였다. 수치해석 결과 제안방법의 성능은 수동제어 방법에 비해 매우 효과적이며, 능동제어 방법에 비해서는 좀더 좋은 제어성능을 나타내었다. 또한, 복합제어 방법은 수동제어 부분 때문에 능동제어 방법에 비해 좀더 신뢰할 수 있는 제어 방법이다. 따라서 제안된 제어방법은 지진하중을 받는 사장교의 제어를 위해 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다.

This paper deals with adaptive fuzzy logic controller design to achieve proper dynamic response of a composite thin-walled beam with a tip mass. In order to check the effectiveness of this controller, three different types of control logic are selected and applied. The adaptive control capabilities provided by a system of piezoactuators bonded or embedded into the structure are also implemented in the system. Results show that the fuzzy logic controller is more effective than the proportional or velocity feedback controller for the vibration control of composite thin-walled beam with a tip mass.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficiency of various solution techniques and propose new efficient solution techniques for space trusses. Solution techniques used in this study are three load control methods (Newton-Raphson Method, modified Newton-Raphson Method, Secant-Newton Method), two load-displacement control methods(Arc-length Method, Work Increment Control Method) and three combined load-displacement control methods(Combined Arc-length Method I , Combined Arc-length MethodⅡ, Combined Work Increment Control Method). To evaluate the efficiency of these solution techniques, we must examine accuracy of their solutions, convergences and computing times of numerical examples. The combined load-displacement control methods are the most efficient in the geometric nonlinear solution techniques and in tracing post-buckling behavior of space truss. The combined work increment control method is the most efficient in tracing the buckling load of spate trusses with high degrees of freedom.

In this paper, we propose a practical hybrid transport error control scheme to provide SVC video streaming service over error-prone IP networks. Many error control mechanisms for various video coding standards have been proposed in the literature. However, there is little research result which can be practically applicable to the multilayered coding structure of SVC(the scalable extension of H.264/AVC). We present a new hybrid transport error control scheme that efficiently combines layered Forward Error Correction(FEC) and Automatic Repeat Request(ARQ) for better packet-loss resilience. In the proposed hybrid error control, we adopt ACK-based ARQ instead of NACK-based ARQ to maximize throughput which is the amount of effective data packets delivered over a physical link per time unit. In order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid error control scheme, we adopt NIST-Net network emulator which is a general-purpose tool for emulating performance dynamics in IP networks. It is shown by simulations over the NIST-Net that the proposed hybrid error control scheme shows improved packet-loss resilience even with much less number of overhead packets compared to various conventional error control schemes.

This paper presents a hybrid control strategy for seismic protection of a benchmark cable-stayed bridge, which is provided as a testbed structure for the development of strategies for the control of cable-stayed bridges. This benchmark problem considers the cable-stayed bridge that is scheduled for completion in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, USA in 2003. Seismic considerations were strongly considered in the design of this bridge due to the location of the bridge in the New Madrid seismic zone and its critical role as a principal crossing of the Mississippi river. Based on detailed drawings of this cable-stayed bridge, a three-dimensional linearlized evaluation model has been developed to represent the complex behavior of the bridge. A set of eighteen evaluation criteria has been developed to evaluate the capabilities of each control strategy. In this study, a hybrid control system is composed of a passive control system to reduce the earthquake-induced forces in the structure and an active control system to further reduce the bridge responses, especially deck displacements. Conventional base isolation devices such as lead rubber bearings are used for the passive control design and Bouc-Wen model is used to simulate the nonlinear behavior of these devices For the active control design, ideal hydraulic actuators are used and on $H_2$/LQG control algorithm is adopted. Numerical simulation results show that the performance of the proposed hybrid control strategy is quite effective compared to that of the passive control strategy and slightly better than that of the active control strategy. The hybrid control method is also more reliable than the fully active control method due to the passive control part. Therefore, the proposed hybrid control strategy can effectively be used to seismically excited cable-stayed bridges.

인터넷을 기반으로 한 고품질 오디오 스트리밍 서비스를 위하여 오디오 데이터 전송 시 발생되는 품질의 열화를 극복하여 고품질의 오디오 재생이 가능한 QoS 보장기법을 제안한다. 오디오 데이터는 연속성과 시간제약성을 가지고 있기 때문에 전송 시 통신망의 상황에 따라 그 재생품질이 결정된다. 이때 필요한 QoS 보장 기법으로 통신망의 상황에 따라 동적으로 전송률을 가변시키고 ARQ에 의한 재전송 방식과 동적 버퍼 제어기법을 복합적으로 적용하는 기법을 보인다. 클라이언트 내의 오디오 데이터 버퍼를 현재 망 상황에 따라 제어함으로서 재전송에 필요한 시간을 확보하고, 전송률도 함께 연동 조정하여 재전송에 따른 전송률 저하 현상을 방지한다. 동적인 클라이언트 버퍼/전송률 제어에 필요한 파라미터는 현재 통신망에서의 UDP 패킷 에러율과 왕복시간 이다. 실제 인터넷 환경에서 위 복합적 QoS 보장기법을 적용하여 고품질로 재생되는 오디오 스트리밍 서비스의 성능을 확인하였다.

최근 인터넷의 발전으로 디지털 오디오 및 비디오와 같은 멀티미디어 스트림에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 멀티미디어 스트리밍을 UDP로 전송할 경우 TCP와 같은 혼잡제어를 수행하지 않기 때문에 동일한 전송경로의 TCP 트래픽 궁핍을 일으켜 혼잡붕괴 및 막대한 전송지연을 초래한다. 이러한 문제점으로 인하여 실시간 멀티미디어 스트림의 전송지연과 혼잡제어를 위한 새로운 전송기법과 프로토콜에 대한 다각적인 연구가 수행되고 있다. TCP 친화적 혼잡제어 기법은 크게 일반적인 혼잡윈도우 관리기능을 이용하는 윈도우 기반 혼잡제어와 TCP 모델링 방정식 둥을 이용하여 전송율을 직접 조절하는 율 기반 혼잡제어로 나눌 수 있다. 본 논문은 윈도우 기반과 율 기반을 복합적으로 다룬 하이브리드형 TCP-friendly 혼잡제어 기법에서 Square-root 혼잡회피 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, NS를 사용하여 제안한 TEAR의 성능을 실험하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안한 기법의 적용으로 TEAR의 안정성을 개선함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper consider a code-division multiple-access(CDMA) wireless ad-hoc network in low-SINR regime. In previous research [6], there has been proposed a algorithm for achieving global optimum at high SINR regime, but has not been fully investigated at low-SINR regime. In this paper, we focus on a case where SINR is much smaller than 1, and propose a algorithm that is suitable for low-SINR regime.

Fuzzy supervisory control technique for the seismic response control of cable-stayed bridges subject to earthquakes is studied. The proposed technique is a hybrid control method, which adopts a hierarchical structure consisting of several sub-controllers and a fuzzy supervisor. Sub-controllers are independently designed to reduced the responses to be controlled of a cable-stayed bridge, and a fuzzy supervisor achieves improved seismic control performance by tuning the pre-designed sub-controllers. It is realized by converting static gains of the sub-controllers into time-varying dynamic gains through the fuzzy inference mechanism. To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed technique, the benchmark control problem of cable-stayed bridge proposed by Dyke et al. is adopted. The control variables for the seismic response control of the cable-stayed bridge are determined to be t도 shear forces and bending moments at the base of the towers, the longitudinal displacements at the top of the towers, the relative displacements between the deck and the tower, and the tensions in the stay cables. Comparative results between the fuzzy supervisory controller and LQG controller demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control technique.
