Due to the reduction in device feature size, transient faults (soft errors) in logic circuits induced by radiations increase dramatically. Many researches have been done in modeling and analyzing the susceptibility of sequential circuit elements caused by soft errors. However, to the best knowledge of the authors, there is no work which has well considerated the feedback characteristics and the multiple clock cycles of sequential circuits. In this paper, we present a new method for evaluating the susceptibility of sequential circuit elements to soft errors. The proposed method uses four Error Propagation Probability Matrixs (EPPMs) to represent the error propagation probability of logic gates and flip-flops in current clock cycle. Based on the predefined matrix union operations, the susceptibility of circuit elements in multiple clock cycles can be evaluated. Experimental results on ISCAS'89 benchmark circuits show that our method is more accurate and efficient than previous methods.

가뭄 전이는 수문학적 가뭄 특성에 대한 정확한 평가 및 조기 경보 시스템 구축에서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 베이지안 네트워크를 이용하여 한강 유역의 가뭄 전이의 확률론적 관계를 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 과거 관측자료와 기후변화 시나리오 RCP 8.5 자료를 활용하였다. 가뭄 전이 및 지체시간을 분석한 결과, 1967~2013년 기간에 비해 2014~2053년 기간에는 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 2054~2100년 기간에는 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한 베이지안 네트워크를 적용하여 지체시간의 발생확률을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 1967~2013년 동안에 기상학적 가뭄이 보통가뭄에서 심한가뭄 또는 극한가뭄으로 변화함에 따라, 지체시간의 발생빈도가 공간적으로 변화하거나 감소하였다. 이러한 확률은 2014~2053년에 몇몇 유역에서 약간 증가하는 경향이 나타났으나, 2054~2100년에 다시 감소하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 확률론적 가뭄 전이 결과는 향후 미래 가뭄 상태에 대한 정책에서 의사결정시에 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

This research is comprised of virtually simulating behavior while experiencing low gravity effects in advance of real world testing in low gravity aboard Zero Gravity Corporation's (Zero-G) research aircraft (727-200F). The experiment simulated a drill rig penetrating a regolith simulant. Regolith is a layer of loose, heterogeneous superficial deposits covering solid rock on surfaces of the Earth' moon, asteroids and Mars. The behavior and propagation of space debris when drilled in low gravity was tested through simulations and visualization in a leading dynamic simulation software as well as discrete element modeling software and in preparation for comparing to real world results from flying the experiment aboard Zero-G. The study of outer space regolith could lead to deeper scientific knowledge of extra-terrestrial surfaces, which could lead us to breakthroughs with respect to space mining or in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). These studies aimed to test and evaluate the drilling process in low to zero gravity environments and to determine static stress analysis on the drill when tested in low gravity environments. These tests and simulations were conducted by a team from Texas A&M University's Department of Construction Science, the United States Air Force Academy's Department of Astronautical Engineering, and Crow Industries

In this study, the influences of triaxial magnetic field on the wave propagation behavior of anisotropic nanoplates are studied. In order to include small scale effects, nonlocal strain gradient theory has been implemented. To study the nanoplate as a continuum model, the three-dimensional elasticity theory is adopted in Cartesian coordinate. In our study, all the elastic constants are considered and assumed to be the functions of (x, y, z), so all kind of anisotropic structures such as hexagonal and trigonal materials can be modeled, too. Moreover, all types of functionally graded structures can be investigated. eigenvalue method is employed and analytical solutions for the wave propagation are obtained. To justify our methodology, our results for the wave propagation of isotropic nanoplates are compared with the results available in the literature and great agreement is achieved. Five different types of anisotropic structures are investigated in present paper and then the influences of wave number, material properties, nonlocal and gradient parameter and uniaxial, biaxial and triaxial magnetic field on the wave propagation analysis of anisotropic nanoplates are presented. From the best knowledge of authors, it is the first time that three-dimensional elasticity theory and nonlocal strain gradient theory are used together with no approximation to derive the governing equations. Moreover, up to now, the effects of triaxial magnetic field have not been studied with considering size effects in nanoplates. According to the lack of any common approximations in the displacement field or in elastic constant, present theory has the potential to be used as a bench mark for future works.

In a power plant, disturbance detection and diagnosis are massive and complex problems. Once a disturbance occurs, it can be either persistent, self cleared, cleared by the automatic controllers or propagated into another disturbance until it subsides in a new equilibrium or a stable state. In addition to the Physical complexity of the power plant structure itself, these dynamic behaviors of the disturbances further complicate the fault monitoring and diagnosis tasks. A data structure called a disturbance interrelation analysis graph(DIAG) is proposed in this paper, trying to capture, organize and better utilize the vast and interrelated knowledge required for power plant disturbance detection and diagnosis. The DIAG is a multi-layer directed AND/OR graph composed of 4 layers. Each layer includes vertices that represent components, disturbances, conditions and sensors respectively With the implementation of the DIAG, disturbances and their relationships can be conveniently represented and traced with modularized operations. All the cascaded disturbances following an initial triggering disturbance can be diagnosed in the context of that initial disturbance instead of diagnosing each of them as an individual disturbance. DIAG is applied to a typical cooling water system of a thermal power plant and its effectiveness is also demonstrated.

This research deals with a problem of reconstructing 3D surface structures from their 2D projections, which is an important research topic in computer vision. In order to provide robust reconstruction algorithm, that is reliable even in the presence of uncertainty in the range images, we first present a detailed model and analysis of several error sources and their effects on measuring three-dimensional surface properties using the space encoded range imaging technique. Our approach has two key elements. The first is the error modeling for the space encoding range sensor and its propagation to the 3D surface reconstruction problem. The second key element in our approach is the algorithm for removing outliers in the range image. Such analyses, to our knowledge, have never attempted before. Experimental results show that our approach is significantly reliable.

컴퓨팅 환경에서 소프트웨어가 차지하는 역할이 커지면서 소프트웨어 보안은 더욱 중요한 문제가 되고 있다. 동적 오염 분석은 프로그램 실행 중에 신뢰할 수 없는 소스로부터 유래된 오염된 데이터의 이동을 추적하고 관리하는 분석 방법이다. 이 분석 방법은 소프트웨어의 보안 검증 뿐만 아니라 소프트웨어의 동작을 이해하고, 예상하지 못한 오류에 대한 테스팅 및 디버깅 등에서 활용할 수 있다. 기존에 이와 관련한 연구에서는 동적 오염 분석을 이용한 분석 사례를 보여주고 있지만, 동적 오염 분석에서 오염된 정보 전파 과정 및 동작 과정에 대해서 체계적이고 논리적으로 기술하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 분석 과정을 이론적으로 기술함으로써 오염된 정보의 전파 과정을 어떻게 추적할 수 있는지 논리적으로 보여주고, 이를 응용할 수 있는 이론적 모델을 제시하고 있다. 본 논문에서 기술한 이론적 모델에 대해서 분석기를 구현하고 프로그램에 대한 분석 결과를 통해서 모델의 정확성을 검증한다. 그리고, 프로그램에 나타나는 오염 정보들의 전파 과정을 보이고 결과를 검증한다. 본 이론적 모델은 동적 오염 분석에서 자료 흐름의 분석 과정을 이해하고 이를 활용하는 분석 방법을 설계하거나 구현하는 기반 지식으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Importance of procuring adequate knowledge about the mechanical behavior of double-layered graphene sheets (DLGSs) incensed the authors to investigate wave propagation responses of mentioned element while rested on a visco-Pasternak medium under hygro-thermal loading. A nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT) is exploited to present a more reliable size-dependent mechanical analysis by capturing both softening and hardening effects of small scale. Furthermore, in the framework of a classical plate theory the kinematic relations are developed. Incorporating kinematic relations with the definition of Hamilton's principle, the Euler-Lagrange equations of each of the layers are derived separately. Afterwards, combining Euler-Lagrange equations with those of the NSGT the nonlocal governing equations are written in terms of displacement fields. Interaction of the each of the graphene sheets with another one is regarded by the means of vdW model. Then, a widespread analytical solution is employed to solve the derived equations and obtain wave frequency values. Subsequently, influence of each participant variable containing nonlocal parameter, length scale parameter, foundation parameters, temperature gradient and moisture concentration is studied by plotting various figures.

The knowledge of material stress-strain behavior is an essential requirement for design and analysis of deformation processes. Empirical stress-strain relationship and constitutive equations describing material behavior during deformation are being widely used, despite suffering some drawbacks in terms of ease of development, accuracy and speed. In the present study, back-propagation neural networks are used to model and predict the flow stresses of a HSLA steel under conditions of constant strain, strain rate and temperature. The performance of the network model is comparedto those of statistical models on rate equations. Well-trained network model provides fast and accurate results, making it superior to statistical models.
