This paper presents four incompatible but convergent Rational quadrilateral elements, two four-node elements (RQ4Z and RQ4B) and two five-node elements (RQ5Z and RQ5B). The difference between the so-called Rational Finite Element (Zhong and Zeng 1996) and the Free Formulation (Bergan and Nygard 1984) are discussed and compared. The importance of the mode completeness in these formulations is emphasized. Numerical results for several benchmark problems show the good performance of these elements. The two five-nodes elements RQ5Z and RQ5B, which can be viewed as complete quadratic mode elements (with seven stress modes), always give better results than the four nodes elements RQ4Z and RQ4B.

The static approach of representing metabolic pathway diagrams offers no flexibility. Thus, many systems adopt automatic graph layout techniques to visualize the topological architecture of pathways. There are weaknesses, however, because automatically drawn figures are generally difficult to understand. The problem becomes even more serious when we attempt to visualize all of the information in a single, big picture, which usually results in a confusing diagram. To provide a partial solution to this thorny issue, we propose J2dpathway, a metabolic pathway atlas viewer that has node-abstracting features.

Nowadays, with the rapid emergence of XML as a standard for data exchange over the Internet had led to considerable interest In the problem of data management requirements such as the need to store and query XML documents in which the location path languages Xpath is of particular important for XML application since it is a core component of many XML processing standards such as XSLT or XQuery, This parer gives a brief overview about method and design by applying a new spatial-based indexing method namely Xp-free that used for supporting Xpath. Spatial indexing technique has been proved its capacity on searching in large databases. Based on accelerating a node using planar as combined with the numbering schema, we devise efficiently derivative algorithms, which are simple, but useful. Besides that, it also allows to trace all Its relative nodes of context node In a manner supporting queries natural to the types especially Xpath queries with predicates.

The formulation of a non-linear shear deformable shell element is presented for the solution of stability problems of stiffened plates and shells. The formulation of the geometrical stiffness presented here is exactly defined on the midsurface and is efficient for analyzing stability problems of thick plates and shells by incorporating bending moment and transverse shear resultant force. As a result of the explicit integration of the tangent stiffness matrix, this formulation is computationally very efficient in incremental nonlinear analysis. The element is free of both membrane and shear locking behaviour by using the assumed strain method such that the element performs very well in the thin shells. By using six degrees of freedom per node, the present element can model stiffened plate and shell structures. The formulation includes large displacement effects and elasto-plastic material behaviour. The material is assumed to be isotropic and elasto-plastic obeying Von Mises's yield condition and its associated flow rules. The results showed good agreement with references and computational efficiency.

Wireless Sensor Networks have been proposed for several location-dependent applications. For such systems, the cost and limitations of the hardware on sensing nodes prevent the use of range-based localization schemes that depend on absolute point to point distance estimates. Because coarse accuracy is sufficient for most sensor network applications, solutions in range-free localization are being pursued as a cost-effective alternative to more expensive range-based approaches. In this paper, we proposed a Coefficient Allocated DV-Hop (CA DV-Hop) algorithm which reduces node's location error by awarding a credit value with respect to number of hops of each anchor to an unknown node. Simulation results have verified the high estimation accuracy with our approach which outperforms the classical DV-Hop.

최근 다양한 응용 분야에서 이동 객체의 현재 위치를 기반으로 미래 위치를 검색하기 위한 필요성이 증가되고 있다. 이와 함께, 대용량의 이동 객체를 빠르게 검색하기 위한 색인 구조의 필요성이 증가되고 있다. 기존에 제안된 색인 구조들은 이동 객체의 위치를 검색하는 과정에서 불필요한 노드의 확장을 유발시켜 검색 성능이 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 객체의 이동성을 고려한 공간 분할 방식의 색인 구조를 제안한다. 제안하는 색인 구조는 노드의 오버플로우를 처리하기 위해 형제 노드와 병합 분할을 수행하고 형제 노드와 병합을 수행하여 오버플로우를 처리할 수 없을 경우에는 이동성을 고려하여 분할을 수행한다. 제안하는 색인 구조는 분할된 영역들 사이에 겹침 영역이 발생하지 않으며 속도, 이동 객체가 노드의 영역을 벗어나는 시간, 노드의 갱신 시간과 같은 파라미터를 고려하여 분할 위치를 판별한다. 중간 노드에서는 공간 분할 방식의 색인 구조에서 발생하는 연속 분할을 방지하기 위한 분할 위치를 판별한다. 제안하는 색인 구조의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 이동 객체에 대한 검색 성능을 비교 분석한다. 성능 평가 결과 제안하는 색인 구조는 현재 위치 검색에 대해서는 $17%{\sim}264%$ 그리고 미래 위치 검색에 대해서는 $107%{\sim}19l%$ 성능 향상을 나타낸다.

2차원 유한요소 모델의 동일한 형상과 하중 조건에 있어서 6절점 요소의 굽힘 강성은 8절점 요소의 굽힘 강성보다 더 크게 나타난다. 이와 같은 현상은 3차원 16절점 요소와 20절점 요소에서도 나타나며, 완전 요소의 중간 절점들을 제거하므로 인하여 나타난다. 따라서 이 현상을 상대적 강성강화 현상이라 할 수 있다. 강성강화 현상을 보정하기 위한 매우 효과적인 방법으로 가우스 적분점 수정법을 도출하였으며, 이 방법은 확장적인 강성과 같이 다른 종류의 강성을 변화시키지 않으며, 또한 패취시험을 통과하였다. 적분점 수정량은 재료의 포아송비의 함수로 나타나며, 2차원 평면응력 상태와 평면변형율 상태에 대한 두개의 수정식을 구하였고, 또한 3차원 고체요소에 대하여 확장하였다. 가우스 적분점 수정법의 효과를 검증하기 위하여 보와 판의 자유 및 강제운동 문제를 해석하였으며, 등방성 적층 보와 판에 대해서도 단층보와 단층판과 같은 방법으로 적용하여 그 효율성을 입증하였다.

Range-free localization algorithm computes a normal node's position by estimating the distance to anchors which know their actual position. In recent years, reliable anchor selection research has been gained a lot of attention because this approach improves localization accuracy by selecting the only subset of anchors called reliable anchor. The distance estimation accuracy and the geometric shape formed by anchors are the two important factors which need to be considered when selecting the reliable anchors. In this paper, we study the relationship between a relative position of three anchors and localization error. From this study, under ideal condition, which is with zero localization error, we find two conditions for anchor selection, thereby proposing a novel anchor selection algorithm that selects three anchors matched most closely to the two conditions, and the validities of the conditions are proved using two theorems. By further employing the conditions, we finally propose a novel range-free localization algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm shows considerably improved performance as compared to other existing works.

본 논문에서는 element-free Galerkin(EFG) 방법에 기반한 적응적 정적균열진전해석기법을 제시하였다. 균열진전 매단계마다 적응적해석을 수행함으로써 전체 해석의 일관성과 정밀성을 동시에 확보할 수 있었다. 균열진전과정에 있어서의 적응적해석은 산정된 오차지표에 따라 적분을 위한 격자구조에 따라 절점을 추가하고 소거하는 과정을 통해 구현되었다. 이 때 사용된 오차지표는 원 EFG해석결과 얻어진 응력과 절점응력을 다시 투영한 응력의 차에 의해 얻어졌다. 제안된 해석기법의 타당성과 효용성을 수치예제에 의해 검증하였다. 그 결과 제안된 해석기법이 균열진전해석시 효율적으로 적용될 수 있음을 보였다.

In this study, a new smart beam finite element is proposed for the finite element modeling of beam-type smart structures that are equipped with bonded plate-type piezoelectric sensors and actuators. Constitutive equations for the direct piezoelectric effect and converse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric materials are considered in the formulation. By using a variational principle, the equations of motion for the smart beam finite element are derived. The proposed 2-node beam finite element is an isoparametric element based on Timoshenko beam theory. The proposed smart beam finite element is applied to the free vibration control adopting a constant gain feedback scheme. The electrical force vector, which is obtained in deriving an equation of motion, is the control force equivalent to that in existing literature. Validity of the proposed element is shown through comparing the analytical results of the verification examples with those of other previous researchers. With the use of smart beam finite elements, simulation of free vibration control is demonstrated by sensing the voltage of the piezoelectric sensors and by applying the voltages to the piezoelectric actuators.
