Architectural steel structures with visible tension and compression members are becoming more prevalent as a popular form of construction that reflects the nature of the resistance to the applied loads. These members require the use of structural steel pins at their ends to ensure either axial tension or axial compression in the members. Structural pins have been used as a means of connection for centuries and it would appear that their behaviour is relatively well understood. However, the rules for the design of pins vary quite considerably from code to code and this has caused some confusion amongst consulting structural engineers operating internationally. To provide some insight into this problem, a comprehensive testing program has been carried to examine the influence of parameters such as pin diameter, material properties of the pin, thickness of the loading plates, material properties of the loading plates and the distance of the pin to the edge of the loading plates. The modes of failure have been carefully examined. Based on this study, modifications to current design procedures are proposed that properly take into account the different possible modes of failure.

This study addresses the load capacity prediction of circular concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns under axial compression using current design codes. Design methods given in the Chinese code CECS 28:2012 (2012), American code AISC 360-10 (2010) and EC4 (2004) are presented and described briefly. A wide range of experimental data of 353 CFST columns is used to evaluate the applicability of CECS 28:2012 in calculating the strength of circular CFST columns. AISC 360-10 and EC4 (2004) are also compared with the test results. The comparisons indicate that all three codes give conservative predictions for both short and long CFST columns. The effects of concrete strength, steel strength and diameter-to-thickness ratio on the accuracy of prediction according to CECS 28:2012 are discussed, which indicate a possibility of extending the limitations on the material strengths and diameter-to-thickness ratio to higher values. A revised equation for slenderness reduction factor in CECS 28:2012 is given.

Optimization of engine desist and operation parameters using a genetic algorithm was demonstrated for direct injection diesel engine combustion. A micro genetic algorithm and a modified KIVA-3V code were used for the analysis and optimization of the engine combustion. At each generation of the optimization step the micro genetic algorithm generated five groups of parameter sets, and the five cases of KIVA-3V analysis were to be performed either in series or in parallel. The micro genetic algorithm code was also parallelized by using MPI programming, and a multi-CPU parallel supercomputer was used to speed up the optimization process by four times. An example case for a fixed engine speed was performed with six parameters of intake swirl ratio, compression ratio, fuel injection included angle, injector hole number, SOI, and injection duration. A simultaneous optimization technique for the whole range of engine speeds would be suggested for further studies.

The Data Matrix of two-dimensional bar codes is a new technology capable of holding relatively large amounts of data compared to the conventional one-dimensional bar code which is just a key that can access detailed information to the host computer database. A secret key is used to prevent a watermark from malicious attacks. We encoded copyright information into a Data Matrix bar code for encoding process and it was spread a pseudo random pattern using owner key. We embedded a randomized watermark into the image using watermark's embedding position, pattern generated with a secret key. The experimental results have shown that the proposed scheme has good quality and is very robust to various attacks, such as JPEG compression and noise. Also the performance of the proposed scheme is verified by comparing the copyright information with the information which is extracted from a bar code scantier.

In this paper we propose a new watermarking scheme using a data matrix and a cryptograph key. The data matrix of two-dimensional bar codes is a new technology capable of holding relatively large amounts of data compared to the conventional one-dimensional bar code. And a cryptograph key is used to prevent a watermark from malicious attacks. We encoded the copyright information into a data matrix bar code, and it was spread as a pseudo random pattern using the owner key. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme has good quality and is robust to various attacks, such as JPEG compression, filtering and resizing. Also the performance of the proposed scheme is verified by comparing the copyright information with the information which is extracted from the watermark.

The synchronization scheme based on moving average is robust and suitable for the same rule to be adopted in embedding watermark and synchronization code, but the imperceptibility and search efficiency is seldom reported. The study aims to improve the original scheme for robust audio watermarking. Firstly, the survival of the algorithm from desynchronization attacks is improved. Secondly, the scheme is improved in inaudibility. Objective difference grade (ODG) of the marked audio is significantly changed. Thirdly, the imperceptibility of the scheme is analyzed and the derived result is close to experimental result. Fourthly, the selection of parameters is optimized based on experimental data. Fifthly, the search efficiency of the scheme is compared with those of other synchronization code schemes. The experimental results show that the proposed watermarking scheme allows the high audio quality and is robust to common attacks such as additive white Gaussian noise, requantization, resampling, low-pass filtering, random cropping, MP3 compression, jitter attack, and time scale modification. Moreover, the algorithm has the high search efficiency and low false alarm rate.

본 연구는 IoT 기술을 이용한 의료기기에서 송수신되는 대량의 이진데이터의 디지털 변조 과정시 독특한 압축 알고리즘을 적용하여 보다 빠른 시간내에 데이터를 송수신하기 위한 연구이다. 이를 위해 이진데이터 스트리밍을 간단한 규칙에 따라 바이너리 클러스터라는 단위로 구분한 뒤, 각 바이너리 클러스터에 대해 1차 압축바이너리 클러스터를 생성하고 유형별로 추가적인 압축 연산을 통해 1 내지 2비트를 압축한 2차 압축 바이너리 클러스터를 생성한 뒤, 각각의 2차 압축 바이너리 클러스터를 맨체스터 라인코딩 방식으로 전송하였다. 특히 본 연구에서는 각각의 2차 압축바이너리 클러스터들의 구분을 위한 정보로서 휴지 전위를 2차 압축 바이너리 클러스터를 코딩한 맨체스터 코드 사이에 삽입 전송하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이를 통해, 2비트 압축된 바이너리 클러스터의 경우 휴지 전위를 위한 1 전송 단위 시간의 소요를 고려하더라도 추가적으로 1 전송 단위 시간의 시간적 이득을 얻게 됨으로써 전송 속도를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대되었다. 휴지 전위는 1개 전송 단위로서만 독립적으로 각각 분리된 압축바이너리 클러스터들의 연결에 사용하므로, 2개 전송단위 시간 이상의 연속된 휴지 전위는 존재하지 않게 되고, 맨체스터 코딩의 기본 규칙을 준수하므로 직류 성분도 존재하지 않게 된다. 특히 이미 정보이론 알고리즘을 이용한 압축된 이진 데이터에 대해서도 본 연구에서 제안한 압축전송 과정을 이용할 경우 전송 속도를 추가적으로 약 12.6% 향상 시킬 수 있음이 예측되었다.

SC 합성기둥은 H형강 플랜지 사이에 후프를 용접하고, 플랜지 사이의 공간에 콘크리트가 채워진 새로운 합성기둥 시스템이다. 본 연구의 전단계로서 SC 합성기둥의 압축, 휨, 전단 실험을 통하여 SC 합성 기둥의 우수한 구조적인 거동을 확인하였다. 그러나 기둥은 특성상 축력과 휨을 동시에 받고 있기 때문에 SC 합성기둥에 축력과 휨이 작용할 경우에 대한 평가가 이루어져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 축력을 받고 있는 SC 합성기둥의 휨 내력을 내부 콘크리트의 충전 유무, 후프와 스터드 볼트의 사용 유무, 축력의 크기를 변수로 하여 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 SC 합성 기둥은순철골 기둥에 비하여 최대 내력은 약 33%~42% 정도. 연성 능력은 약 33%~63% 정도의 증가 효과를 보이고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 국내 $\ulcorner$강구조 한계상태 설계기준$\lrcorner$으로 평가된 SC 합성기둥의 휨 내력은 Eurocode-4, 일본 기준식에 비해 상당히 안전측으로 제시되고 있고, 축력이커질수록 실험에 의한 최대 내력이 국내 기준식과 차이가 커져 추후 SC 합성기둥 내력산정은 Eurocode-4 식을 반영하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

A building structural system of moment resisting frame (MRF) with concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) columns and wide flange H beams, is one of the most conveniently constructed structural systems. However, there were few studies on evaluating seismic performance of full-scale CFST columns under high axial compression. In addition, some existing famous design codes propose various limits of width-to-thickness ratio (B/t) for steel tubes of the ductile CFST composite members. This study was intended to investigate the seismic behavior of CFST columns under high axial load compression. Four full-scale square CFST column specimens with a B/t of 42 were carried out that were subjected to horizontal cyclic-reversal loads combined with constantly light, medium and high axial loads and with a linearly varied axial load, respectively. Test results revealed that shear strength and deformation capacity of the columns significantly decreased when the axial compression exceeded 0.35 times the nominal compression strength of a CFST column, P₀. It was obvious that the higher the axial compression, the lower both the shear strength and deformation capacities were, and the earlier and faster the shear strength degradation occurred. It was found as well that higher axial compressions resulted in larger initial lateral stiffness and faster degradation of post-yield lateral stiffness. Meanwhile, the lower axial compressions led to better energy dissipation capacities with larger cumulative energy. Moreover, the study implied that under axial compressions greater than 0.35P₀, the CFST column specimens with B/t limits recommended by AISC 360 (2016), ACI 318 (2014), AIJ (2008) and EC4 (2004) codes do not provide ultimate interstory drift ratio of more than 3% radian, and only the limit in ACI 318 (2014) code satisfies this requirement when axial compression does not exceed 0.35P₀.

The main objective of this study is to examine the sensitivity of calibration curves of FEA of ring compression test to frictional shear factor. Ring compression test has been investigated by measuring dimensional changes at different positions of ring specimen and they include the changes in internal diameter at the middle and top section of the specimen, outer diameter at the middle and top section, surface expansion at the top surface, respectively. Initial ring geometries employed in analysis maintain a fixed ratio of 6 : 3 : 2, i.e. outer diameter : inner diameter : thickness of the ring specimen, which is generally known as 'standard' specimen. A rigid plastic material for different work-hardening characteristics has been modeled for simulations using rigid-plastic finite element code. Analyses have been performed within a definite range of friction as well as over whole range of friction to show different sensitivities to the interfacial friction for different ranges of friction. The results of investigation in this study have been summarized in terms of a dimensionless gradient. It has been known from the results that the dimensional changes at different positions of ring specimen show different linearity and sensitivity to the frictional condition on the contact surface.
