The design response spectrum has been widely used in seismic design to estimate force and deformation demands of structures imposed by Earthquake Ground Motion (EQGM). Inelastic Design Response Spectra (IDRS) to specify design yielding strength in seismic codes are obtained by reducing the ordinates of Linear Elastic Design Response Spectrum (LEDRS) by strength reduction factor (R). Since a building is designed using reduced design spectrum (IDRS) rather than LEDRS in current seismic design procedures it allows structures behave inelastically during design level EQGM. Inelastic Response Spectra (IRS) depend not only on the characteristics of the expected ground motion at a given site, but also on the dynamic properties and nonlinear characteristics of a structure. However, it has not been explicitly investigated the effect of different hysteretic models on IRS. In this study, the effect of hysteretic models on IRS is investigated.

This paper considers a two-location production and inventory model for a single product which can be produced and demanded at each of two locations. Demands during a finite number of discrete time periods are known and must be satisfied by production, inventory or transshipment. We consider the change of production capacity. The costs to be incurred are restricted to production, inventory and transshipment costs, and all cost functions we assumed to be concave. The objective is to minimize the total cost of production, inventory and transshipment. The model is formulated as a shortest path problem for an acyclic network from which properties associated with optimal solutions are derived. Using these properties. we develop a dynamic programming algorithm that finds optimal solutions for problems.

Real-time embedded systems have become pervasive in general industry. They also began to be applied in such domains as avionics, automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and industrial Internet. However, the system failure of such domains could result in catastrophic consequences. Runtime software testing is required in such domains that demands very high accuracy. Traditional runtime software testing based on handwork is very inefficient and time consuming. Hence, test automation methodologies in runtime is demanding. In this paper, we introduce a software testing system that translates a real-time software into a monitorable real-time software. The monitorable real-time software means the software provides the monitoring information in runtime. The monitoring target are time constraints of the input real-time software. We anticipate that our system lessens the burden of runtime software testing.

Variable displacement vane-type oil pumps represent one of the most innovative pump types for industrial applications, especially for engine lubrication systems. This paper deals with a modeling method for theoretical flow rate investigation of a typical variable displacement vane-type oil pump. This theoretical model is based on the pump geometric design and dynamic analyses. It can be considered as mandatory steps for a deeper understanding of the pump operation as well as for effectively implementing the pump control mechanisms to satisfy the urgent demands of engine lubrication systems. The developed pump model is finally illustrated by numerical simulations.

This paper proposes the integration of photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage systems for sustained power generation. In this proposed system, whenever the PV system cannot completely meet load demands, the super capacitor provides power to meet the remaining load. A power management strategy is designed for the proposed system to manage power flows between PV array systems and supercapacitors (SC). The main task of this study was to design PV systems with storage strategies including MPPT with direct control and an advanced DC-link controller and to analyze dynamic model proposed for a PV-SC hybrid power generation system. In this paper, the simulation models for the hybrid energy system are developed using Matlab/Simulink, SimPowerSystems and Matlab/Stateflow tool. This is the key innovative contribution of the research paper. The system performances are verified by carrying out simulation studies using practical load demand profile and real weather data.

The manufacturing environment is rife with nonlinear processes. In this context, an intelligent production controller should be able to predict the dynamic behavior of various subsystems as they react to transient environmental conditions, the varying internal condition of the manufacturing plant, and the changing demands of the production schedule. This level of adaptive capability may be achieved through a coherent methodology for a learning coordinator to predict nonlinear and stochastic processes. The system is to serve as a real time, online supervisor for routine activities as well as exceptional conditions such as damage, failure, or other anomalies. The complexity inherent in a learning coordinator can be managed by a modular architecture incorporating case based reasoning. In the interest of concreteness, the concepts are presented through a case study involving a knowledge based robotic system.

In today's dynamic and turbulent business environment, in order to become globally competitive, many companies are trying to get closer to the customer and deliver value added product and services in the shortest possible time which demands integration of business processes of an enterprise, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is such a strategic tool, which helps the company to gain competitive edge by integrating all business processes and optimizing the resources available. This paper throws light on how ERP evolved, what makes up an ERP system and what it has to offer to the industries. The paper includes the role of ERP, perception of ERP value, ERP plan and direction. The author also argues checkpoints as a preview to ERP introduction.

A preliminary performance-based seismic design methodology is proposed. The top yield displacement of the system is computed from these of the components, which are assumed constant. Besides, a simple procedure to evaluate the top yield displacement of frames is developed. Seismic demands are represented in the form of yield point spectra. The methodology is general, conceptually transparent, uses simple calculations based on first principles and is applicable to asymmetric systems. To consider a specific situation two earthquake levels, occasional and rare are considered. The advantage of an arbitrary assignment of strength to the different components to reduce eccentricities and improved the torsional response of the system is addressed. The methodology is applied to an asymmetric five story building, and the results are verified by push-over analysis and non linear dynamic analysis.

Recently, Grid is embossed as a new issue according to the need of cooperation related to distributed resources, data sharing, Interaction and so on. It focuses on sharing of large scale resources, high-performance, applications of new paradigms, which improved more than established distributed computing. Because of the environmental specificity distributed geographically and dynamic, the most important problem in grid environment is to share and to allocate distributed grid resources. This paper proposes supply-driven strategies model that is applicable for resource management in grid environment and presents a optimal resource allocation algorithm based on resource demands. Supply-driven strategies model can offer efficient resource management by transaction allocation based on user demand and provider strategy. This paper implements the supply-driven strategies model on the DEVS modeling and simulation environment and shows the efficiency and excellency of this model by comparing with established models.

A two-level displacement-based design procedure is developed. To obtain the displacement demands, elastic spectra for occasional earthquakes and inelastic spectra for rare earthquakes are used. Minimum global stiffness and strength to be supplied to the structure are based on specified maximum permissible drift limits and on the condition that the structure responds within the elastic range for occasional earthquakes. The performance of the structure may be assessed by an inelastic push-over analysis to the required displacement and the evaluation of damage indices. The approach is applied to the design of a five-story reinforced concrete coupled wall structure located in the most hazardous seismic region of Argentina. The inelastic dynamic response of the structure subjected to real and artificially generated acceleration time histories is also analyzed. Finally, advantages and limitations of the proposed procedure from the conceptual point of view and practical application are discussed.
