Since comprehensive examination of flexible pavement is complex, evaluation of its condition has been based on subjective judgements. Especially, qualitative measure of pavement has been based on linguistic expressions which often cause misinterpretation. There has been no such a criterion that can appropiately assess pavement status. Therefore, this study was devised to develop an approach, using fuzzy set concept, for evaluation of current and expected service conditions of flexibel pavement surface course. An example study was conducted to verify its usefulness. Since arithematic operation of fuzzy set can quantify the linguistic values and translate them into illustrative models, the results shown in the example was easy for anyone to understand.

구조물의 표면에 부착된 압전소자(이하 PZT)의 전기역학적 어드미턴스(Electro-mechanical admittance)는 PZT와 구조물의 상호작용에 의해 발생하는 PZT의 압전효과와 유전성(dielectric)이 결합되어 발생되는 신호이다. 고주파수 대역에서 PZT의 전기역학적 어드미턴스는 구조물의 국부손상에 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 실험에서 측정된 PZT의 전기역학적 어드미턴스 분석에 널리 쓰이는 Liang 모델은 구조물을 단자유도계로 단순화하여 구조물의 동적특성이 전기역학적 어드미턴스에 미치는 영향을 정확하게 나타내기 어렵다. 유한요소법을 통해 PZT와 구조물의 상호작용을 해석하면 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있다. 그러나 고주파 대역에서 정확한 해석을 위해서는 유한요소망을 조밀하게 구성해야 하므로 많은 계산비용이 수반된다. 이 연구에서는 유한요소법과 비교하여 월등히 적은 계산비용으로 고주파 대역의 동적 응답을 매우 정확하게 모사할 수 있는 스펙트럼 요소법(Spectral Element Method ; 이하 SEM)을 통해 판구조물에 부착된 PZT의 전기-역학적 어드미턴스를 해석한다. 수치 예제 및 실험 예제를 통하여 내민보에 부착된 PZT에서 발생하는 전기-역학적 어드미턴스를 취득하고 이를 SEM해석 결과와 비교한다.

Rescaled Simulated Annealing(RSA) has been devised for improving the disadvantage of Simulated Annealing(SA) which requires tremendous amount of computation time. RSA and SA have been for optimization of truss and satellite structures and for comparison of results from two algorithms. Ten bar truss structure which has continuous design variables are optimized.. As a practical application, a satellite structure is optimized by the two algorithms. Weights of satellite upper platform and propulsion module are minimized. MSC/NASTRAN is used for the static and dynamic analysis. The optimization results of the RSA are compared with results of the classical SA. The numbers of optimization iterations could be effectively reduced by the RSA.

This paper presents the results of sensitivity analysis based on an example study to verify a newly developed reliability-based model for rock slopes considering uncertainties of discontinuities and failure modes-plane, wedge, and toppling. The parameters that are needed for sensitivity analysis are the variability of discontinuity properties (orientation and strength of discontinuities), the loading conditions, and the rock slope geometry. The variability in orientation and friction angle of discontinuities, which can not be considered in the deterministic analysis, has a great influence on the rock slope stability, The stability of rock slopes including failure modes is more influenced by the selection of dip direction of cutting rock face than any other design variables, The example study shows that the developed reliability-based analysis model can reasonably assess the stability of rock slope.

본 논문에서는 임베디드 리눅스와 uCOS-2 간 소스코드 변환에 대한 연구를 위해 API 정변환/역변환기(API 변환기)를 이용하여 두 RTOS 간 소스코드 변환을 실험한다. API 변환기는 임베디드 소프트웨어의 개발을 돕기 위해 개발된 프로그램으로서, 정변환과 역변환 기능을 이용하여 이종 RTOS 간 소스코드를 자동으로 상호 변환한다. 정변환이란 중간형태의 C-코드인 CIC 파일에서 특정 RTOS를 위한 C-코드로 변환하는 것을 의미한다. 반대로 역변환은 특정 RTOS를 위한 C-코드로부터 CIC 파일로 변환하는 것을 가리킨다. 본 논문의 실험에서는 임베디드 리눅스와 uCOS-2의 동기화 소스코드 예제를 API 변환기를 이용하여 상호 변환해본다. 그리고 변환된 소스코드의 정상동작 여부를 확인하기 위해 각각의 타깃보드 위에 소스코드를 포팅한다.

In English-Korean machine translation, transitive verb-objective collocation is utilized for accurate translation of an English verbal phrase into Korean. This paper presents an algorithm for correct verb translation based on the k-nearest neighbor learning. The semantic distance is defined on the WordNet for the k-nearest neighbor learning. And we also present algorithms for automatic collocation dictionary optimization. The algorithms extract transitive verb-objective pairs as training examples from large corpora and minimize the examples, considering the tradeoff between translation accuracy and example size. Experiments show that these algorithms optimized collocation dictionary keeping about 90% accuracy for a verb 'build'.

Traditional criteria for optimum experimental designs depend on the specifications of the model; however, there will be a dilemma when we do not have perfect knowledge about the model. Box and Draper (1959) suggested one direction to minimize bias that may occur in this situation. We will demonstrate some examples with exact solutions that provide a no-bias design for polynomial regression. The most interesting finding is that a design that requires less bias should allocate design points away from the border of the design space.

A network design model has been proposed. which represents a transportation facility investment decision problem. The model takes the discrete hi-level programming form in which two types of decision makers, government and travelers, are involved. The model is characterized by its ability to address the total social costs occurring in transportation networks and to estimate the equilibrium link volumes in multi-modal networks. Travel time and volume for each link in the multi-modal network are predicted by a joint modal split/traffic assignment model. An efficient solution algorithm has been developed and an illustrative example has been presented.

A direct design method of three-dimensional frames using practical advanced analysis is presented. In this method. separate member capacity checks encompassed by the code specifications are not required. because the stability of separate members and the structure as a whole can be rigorously treated in determining the maximum strength of the structures. Advanced analysis accounts for geometric and material nonlinearities. The geometric nonlinearlity is considered by the use of stability function. The material nonlinearity is accounted for using CRC tangent modulus and parabolic function. The load-displacements predicted by the proposed analysis compare well with those given by other approaches. A design example has been presented for a 22-story frame. The analysis results show that the proposed method is suitable for adoption in practice.

Based on the authors' previous research, we have conducted more researches on finding out the coefficient of consolidation from Piezocone dissipation test results, especially measured behind the cone tip which is mostly used in Korea, by adopting the optimization technique. By analyzing numerical and real field examples, it can be found that the adopted optimum technique that minimizes the differences between the predicted dissipation curve and the measured one gives consistent and convergent results, irrespective of initial values. Such technique also provides horizontal coefficient of consolidation which is able to simulate real field consolidation behavior more effectively.
