The indoor environments in high-rise buildings are generally well enclosed by defined boundary conditions. Here, a numerical simulation method based on the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), which aims to model and simulate the turbulent flow accurately in an enclosed environment, and its comparison with traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results, are presented in this paper. CFD has become a powerful tool for predicting and evaluating enclosed airflows with the rapid advance in computer capacity and speed, and various types of CFD turbulence modeling and its application and validation have been reported. The LBM is a relatively new method; it involves solving of the discrete Boltzmann equation to simulate the fluid flow with a collision model instead of solving Navier-Stokes equations. In this study, the LBM-based scheme of flow pattern and particle dispersion analyses are validated using the benchmark test case of two- and three-dimensional and isothermal conditions (IEA/Annex 20 case); the prediction accuracy and advantages are also discussed by comparison with the results of CFD.

The Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB-BC) algorithm is an effective global optimization technique of swarm intelligence with drawbacks of being easily trapped in local optimal results and of converging slowly. To overcome these shortages, an improved BB-BC algorithm (IBB-BC) is proposed in this paper with taking some measures, such as altering the reduced form of exploding radius and generating multiple mass centers. The accuracy and efficiency of IBB-BC is examined by different types of benchmark test functions. The IBB-BC is utilized for damage detection of a simply supported beam and the European Space Agency structure with an objective function established by structural frequency and modal data. Two damage scenarios are considered: damage only existed in stiffness and damage existed in both stiffness and mass. IBB-BC is also validated by an existing experimental study. Results demonstrated that IBB-BC is not trapped into local optimal results and is able to detect structural damages precisely even under measurement noise.

Nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is performed by using isogeometric Reissner-Mindlin (RM) shell element. The elasto-plastic constitutive model is employed to express the nonlinear behavior of concrete material and the equivalent smeared steel layer is introduced to represent steel reinforcement. The arc-length control method is used to produce the entire load-displacement path of RC structures. Finally, three benchmark tests are carried out to verify the performance of the present shell element. From isogeometric analysis, the present results show a good agreement with experimental results and it is provided as future benchmark test solutions.

A new switchbox router, called CONQUEROR, is proposed in this paper. The proposed CONQUEROR efficiently routes large switchbox routing area using divide-and-conquer technique. The CONQUEROR consists of three phases` namely, partition of large routing area and assignment of optimal pins of sub-area, detailed routing of each sub-ared, reassignment of pins after rip-up. First, large switchbox routing area is partitioned into several sub-areas and each sub-area contains 4-6 detailed grids. Then pins are assigned on boundary of sub-area by the estimated weight. Secondly, when global pin assignment is completed on all sub-areas, each sub-area is routed using detailed router. Also, detailed routing consists of three pases` layerless maze routing, assignment of layer using coloring, and rip-up and reroute. Lastly, if detailed routing of any sub-area fails,reassignment of pins after rip-up is invoked. Detailed routing is performed for the failed sub-area again. Benchmark test cases have been run, and on all the benchmark data known in the literature CONQUEROR has performed as well as or better than existing switchbox routers.

Finite elements based on the partition of unity (PU) approximation have powerful capabilities for p-adaptivity and solutions with high smoothness without remeshing of the domain. Recently, the PU approximation was successfully applied to the three-node shell finite element, properly eliminating transverse shear locking and showing excellent convergence properties and solution accuracy. However, the enrichment with the PU approximation results in a significant increase in the number of degrees of freedom; therefore, it requires greater computational cost, thus making it less suitable for practical engineering. To circumvent this disadvantage, we propose a new strategy to decrease the total number of degrees of freedom in the existing PU-based shell element, without loss of optimal convergence and accuracy. To alleviate the locking phenomenon, we use the method of mixed interpolation of tensorial components and perform convergence studies to show the accuracy and capability of the proposed shell element. The excellent performances of the new shell elements are illustrated in three benchmark problems.

In the case of designing control devices in a building, reliance on experimental formulation or engineering concepts without using optimization algorithms leads to non-optimal solutions or design parameters, which makes the use of control devices costly and unreasonable. The optimization algorithms are capable of identifying the required number of parameters for a specific design problem, however, this process is difficult and inefficient in dealing with some specific optimal design processes. This paper aims to introduce an upgraded version of the salp swarm algorithm to handle some engineering design. The performance of the new upgraded algorithm is tested using some benchmark test functions as well as a six-story benchmark building equipped with semi-active MR dampers. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can be successfully applied to get an optimal design of the MR dampers in the building.

We present a new low power scan testing and test data compression method for System-On-a-Chip (SOC). The don't cares in unspecified scan vectors are mapped to binary values for low power and encoded by adaptive encoding method for higher compression. Also, the scan-in direction of scan vectors is determined for low power. Experimental results for full-scanned versions of ISCAS 89 benchmark circuits show that the proposed method has both low power and higher compression.

Test vector reordering is a very effective way to reduce power consumption during test application. But, it is time-consuming and complicated processes, and it does not consider internal circuit structure, which may limit the effectiveness. In this paper, we order test vectors using fanout count of primary inputs that consider the internal circuit structure, which may reduce the switching activity. Then, we reorder test test vectors again by using Hamming distance between test vectors. We proposed FOVO algorithm to perform these two ideas. FOVO is an effective way to reduce power consumption during test application. The algorithm is applied to benchmark circuits and we get an average of 3.5% or more reduction of the power consumption.

본 연구는 약형 EMH에 대한 반론으로 제기되어 왔던 모멘텀전략과 반대전략의 우월성에 대하여 검정하였다. 모멘텀전략과 반대전략이 우월한 전략이라면 이는 약형 EMH에 대한 중대한 비판이 된다. 하지만 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션 결과에 따르면 기존의 검정방법은 유의수준왜곡이라는 오류를 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구는 데이터 스누핑 편의를 해결하는 것으로 알려진 White (2000)의 사실성 체크검정을 이용하여 모멘텀전략과 반대전략의 우월성을 검정하였다. 검정결과는 다음과 같다. 종합주가지수에 대한 정액정기매입전략을 벤치마크 포트폴리오로 정하였을 때 평균수익률을 이용하면 모멘텀전략 중 최선의 전략은 벤치마크 포트폴리오보다 우월한 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 위험을 고려한 성과측정치인 샤프비율을 이용할 경우 모멘텀전략과 반대전략 중 최선의 전략은 우월한 전략이라고 볼 수 없었다. 따라서 위험을 고려한다면 모멘텀전략과 반대전략의 우월성을 근거로 약형 EMH를 기각할 수는 없다.
