This study presents an effective optimal technique to control quantitatively lateral drift for tall steel braced frames subject to horizontal loads. In this paper, the displacement sensitivity depending on behavior characteristics of steel braced frames is established, and also the approximation concept that has the generality of the mathematical programming and can efficiently solve large scale problems is introduced. Especially, the commercially available standard steel sections are used for the discrete selection of member sizes. Three types of 12-story braced frames and a 30-story braced framework are presented to illustrate the features of the quantitative lateral drift control technique proposed in this study.

A method of designing a state feedback gam achieving a specified insensitivity of the closed-loop trajectory by the singularly perturbed unified system using the operators is proposed. The order of system is reduced by the singular perturbation technique by ignoring the fast mode in it. The proposed method takes care of the actual trajectory variations over the range of the singular perturbation parameter. Necessary conditions for optimality are also derived. The previous study was done in the continuous time system The present paper extends the previous study to the discrete system and the ${\delta}-operating$ system that unifies the continuous and discrete systems. Advantages of the proposed method are shown in the numerical example.

The objective of this study is to develop the accurate, robust and high resolution two-dimensional numerical model that solves the computationally difficult hydraulic problems, including the wave front propagation over dry bed and abrupt change in bathymetry. The developed model in this study solves the conservative form of the two-dimensional shallow water equations using an unsplit finite volume scheme and HLLC approximate Riemann solvers to compute the interface fluxes. Bed-slope term is discretized by the divergence theorem in the framework of FVM for application of unsplit scheme. Accurate and stable SGM, in conjunction with the MUSCL which is second-order-accurate both in space and time, is adopted to balance with fluxes and source terms. The exact C-property is shown to be satisfied for balancing the fluxes and the source terms. Since the spurious oscillations in second-order schemes are inherent, an efficient slope limiting technique is used to supply TVD property. The accuracy, conservation property and application of developed model are verified by comparing numerical solution with analytical solution and experimental data through the simulations of one-dimensional dam break flow without bed slope, steady transcritical flow over a hump and two-dimensional dam break flow with a constriction.

The linear tracking theory has a great merit that its solution can be analytically obtained under the quadratic performance measure. However, this theory has not been applied to reservoir system operation yet, because the tracking assumes no boundness of the control and state vectors. This paper presents deriving the optimal control law and solving the Riccati equations for the discrete time horizon, and its application to the real system. And the additional necessary conditions for the saturated vectors of the control and/or state are also derived using the concept of the Pontryagin's minimum principle. The logic and its algorithm in this work are not so positive to give a general solution. In fact, it is a matter of modeling in terms of relative magnitude of disturbance and time-step size. However its application to the real environment of the Han river, which comprises six major reservoirs in series/parallel, demonstrated satisfactory results over 36 monthly stages.

Control Theory for continuous-time system has been well developed. Due to the development of computer technology, digital control scheme are employed in many areas. When delays are in control systems, it is hard to control the system efficiently. Delays by controller-to-actuator and sensor-to-controller deteriorate control performance and could possibly destabilize the overall system. In this paper, a new approximated discretization method and digital design for control systems with multiple state, input and output delays and a generalized bilinear transformation method with a tunable parameter are also provided, which can re-transform the integer time-delayed discrete-time model to its continuous-time model. Illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed method.

Multilayered structures include lamination by relatively thick plies and thin interlayers. For efficient peridynamic analysis of dynamic fracturing multilayered structures, the interlayer is modeled using ghost peridynamic particles while the ply is formulated via real peridynamics. With the nonlocal ghost interlayer, one may keep the discretization resolution low for the ply. In this study, the characteristics of dynamic wave propagation through the nonlocal ghost interlayer in peridynamic analysis are investigated. It is observed that the interlayer not only binds adjacent plies, but also significantly influences energy transfer between plies, and thereby their deformation and motion. In addition, near a surface or boundary, peridynamic particles do not have a full nonlocal neighborhoods. This causes the effective material properties near the surface to be different from those in the bulk. Surface correction based on neighborhood volumes is employed. The impact of surface correction on wave propagation in multilayered structures is investigated.

A level set based topological shape optimization method for nonlinear structure considering hyper-elastic problems is developed. To relieve significant convergence difficulty in topology optimization of nonlinear structure due to inaccurate tangent stiffness which comes from material penalization of whole domain, explicit boundary for exact tangent stiffness is used by taking advantage of level set function for arbitrary boundary shape. For given arbitrary boundary which is represented by level set function, a Delaunay triangulation scheme is used for current structure discretization instead of using implicit fixed grid. The required velocity field in the actual domain to update the level set equation is determined from the descent direction of Lagrangian derived from optimality conditions. The velocity field outside the actual domain is determined through a velocity extension scheme based on the method suggested by Adalsteinsson and Sethian(1999). The topological derivatives are incorporated into the level set based framework to enable to create holes whenever and wherever necessary during the optimization.

This paper presents a dynamic crack propagation algorithm with Rayleigh damping effect based on the MLS(Moving Least Squares) Difference Method. Dynamic equilibrium equation and constitutive equation are derived by considering Rayliegh damping and governing equations are discretized by the MLS derivative approximation; the proportional damping, which has not been properly treated in the conventional strong formulations, was implemented in both the equilibrium equation and constitutive equation. Dynamic equilibrium equation including time relevant terms is integrated by the Central Difference Method and the discrete equations are simplified by lagging the velocity one step behind. A geometrical feature of crack is modeled by imposing the traction-free condition onto the nodes placed at crack surfaces and the effect of movement and addition of the nodes at every time step due to crack growth is appropriately reflected on the construction of total system. The robustness of the proposed numerical algorithm was proved by simulating single and multiple crack growth problems and the effect of proportional damping on the dynamic crack propagation analysis was effectively demonstrated.

A class of recurrent neural networks is proposed and proven to be capable of identifying any discrete-time dynamical system. The applications of the proposed network are addressed in the encoding, identification, and extraction of finite state automata. Simulation results show that the identification of finite state automata using the proposed network, trained by the hybrid greedy simulated annealing with a modified error function in the learning stage, exhibits generally better performance than other conventional identification schemes.

Recently, the social requirement of personal identification techniques has been increasing. Fingerprint recognition is one of the biometries methods that has been widely used for this requirement. This paper proposes the fingerprint matching algorithm that uses the information of the ridge shapes of minutiae. In which, the data of the ridge shape are expressed in one-dimensional discrete-time signals. In our algorithm, we obtain one-dimensional discrete-time signals for ridge at every minutiae from input and registered fingerprints, and find pairs of minutia which have the similar ridge shape by comparing input fingerprint with registered fingerprint, thereafter we find candidates of rotation angle and moving displacement from the pairs of similar minutia, and obtain the final rotation angle and moving displacement value from those candidates set by using clustering method. After that, we align an input fingerprint by using obtained data, and calculate the matching rate by counting the number of corresponded pairs of minutia within the overlapped area of an input and registered fingerprints. As a result of experiment, false rejection rate(FRR) of $18.0\%$ at false acceptance rate(FAR) of $0.79\%$ is achieved.
