This paper introduces the genetic programming algorithm(GP), which can approximate highly nonlinear functions, as a tool for the modeling of response surfaces. When the response surfaces is approximated, the very small or minimal teaming set should be used, and thus it is almost certain that GP trees will show overfilling that must be avoided at all costs. We present a novel method, calledDDBS(DirectionalDerivative-Based Smoothering), which very effectively eliminates the unwanted behaviors of GP trees such as large peaks, oscillations, and also overfitting. Four illustrative numerical examples are given to demonstrate the performance of the genetic programming algorithm that adopts DDBS.

Corner cut, corner chamfered or a building shape change are adopted in the design of tall buildings to achieve aerodynamic superiority as well as response reduction. Kikuchi et.al pointed out that large negative peak external pressures can appear near the inside corner of set-back low rise buildings. It is therefore necessary to pay attention to facade design around steps in building surfaces. Peak wind pressures for corner cut or corner chamfered configurations are given in the AIJ code. However, they cannot be applied where there are many variations of vertical and horizontal steps. There has been no previous systematic research on peak wind pressures around steps in building surfaces. In this study, detailed phenomenon of peak wind pressures around steps in buildings are investigated focusing on vertical and horizontal distances from the building's corner.

The problem addressed in this paper is that of the on-line computational burden of time-optimal control laws for quick, strongly nonlinear systems like revolute robots. It will be demonstrated that a large amount of off-line computation can be substituted for most of the on-line burden in cases of time optimization with constrained inputs if differential point-to- point specifications can be relaxed to cell-to-cell transitions. These cells result from a coarse discretization of likely swaths of state space into a set of nonuniform, contiguous volumes of relatively simple shapes. The cell boundaries approximate stream surfaces of the phase fluid and surfaces of equal transit times. Once the cells have been designed, the bang- bang schedules for the inputs are determined for all likely starting cells and terminating cells. The scheduling process is completed by treating all cells into which the trajectories might unex- pectedly stray as additional starting cells. Then an efficient-to-compute control law can be based on the resulting table of optimal strategies.

In order to utilize treads of waste tire as reinforcement material it is necessary to know the interface friction angle between tread surfaces and soil and tensile strength of connection joint of tire treads. In this research large direct shear tests were performed to get the interface friction angle between the inner and outer surfaces of treads and soil for different degree of compaction. From the large direct shear tests, the ratio of interface friction angle to the shear friction angle of sand, ${\delta}/{\phi}$, were 1.06 in outside surface of tire tread and 0.93 in inside surface of tire tread. For weathered granite soil the ratio of interface friction angle was 0.98 and 0.92 for outside and inside of tread, respectively. Also tensile tests were performed using universal testing machine for the connection joint of treads and Tirecell units using bolts. The tensile strength of connection joint increased with the number of bolts and with the sizes of washers. Connection by polypropylene ropes showed lower strength than those of bolts.

Few changes were found in the mouths of 52 smokers were examined as a part of program to evaluate the oral health of Korean smokers. 52 smokers and 30 non-smokers were performed careful oral examination. In many of smokers, heavy, black deposits are found on the buccal and lingual surfaces of the teeth and leukoplakia were obsreved in 2 subjects and varied merely in the severity of the involvement. Cytologic studies were carried out on 60 oral smears from the hard palate, buccal mucosa, and gingiva. Smears were taken wit a wood spatula scraped over the mucosal surface. After fixation the slides were stained using the papanicolau cells without nuclei. The cornified cells were smaller than the noncornified cells and stained a deep brown or orange as compared with the blue or red of the large, round or polygonal cells in nonkeratinized regions of oral mucosa. Abnormal cell forms, suggestive of malignancy were not found in smears from the mucosa of smokers. Cells with large hyperchromatic nuclei and elongated, spindle-type cells with large nuclei were not observed.

This paper proposes a real-time simulation technique for thin shells undergoing large deformation. Thin shells are almost two-dimensional structures visually well approximated as surfaces, such as leaves, paper sheets, hats, aluminum cans. Unfortunately accurate simulation of these structures requires one of the most complex formulations in continuum mechanics, shell theory [4]. Moreover, there has not yet been any work reported to produce visually convincing animation of them while achieving real-time performance. Motivated by discrete shells [5] and modal warping [3], we formulate dynamics of thin shells using mass-spring models instead of finite element models, and then apply the modal warping technique to cope with large rotational deformation of thin shells. Experiments show that the proposed technique runs in real-time, and that it can simulate large bending and/or twisting deformations with acceptable realism.

Recently, efficient manufacturing of high precision is an important issue in modern industry as more variety of industrial products is being designed with compound surfaces. Rapid CAD data generation can be possible based on a non-contact type CMM of object through the use of reverse engineering. However, some registration to match the data measured from various directions into a common coordinate system is required. Also, the error can happen if it uses the conventional method to large product of thin thickness. So it is necessary to develop a new method, which was designed for the registration of large and thin products. Additionally, an algorithm to pick up coordinates for the newly designed method was proposed.

In this paper, we consider the problem of designing decentralized sliding mode static output feedback control laws for a class of large scale systems with mismatched uncertainties. We derive a sufficient condition for the existence of a linear switching surface in terms of constrained linear matrix inequalities(LMIs), and we parameterize the linear switching surfaces in terms of the solution matrices to the given constrained LMI existence conditions. We also give an LMI-based algorithm for designing decentralized switching feedback control laws. Finally, we give a design example in order to show the effectiveness of our method.

In order to reduce the lead-time and cost, the technology of rapid prototyping(RP) has been widely used. This paper describes the methodology to fabricate a large object by using the principle of rapid prototyping. By laminating thick and sloping polystyrene foam plates, we can make the large model which has three dimensional, continuous surfaces faster and easier than conventional processes. Estimated error was much smaller than other RP products which have stepped effect. For accuracy improvement and post processing, machined metal plates are added between the thick plates. To keep the continuity of surface and strengthen the model, pilot holes and guide rods are applied. By the methodology described in this paper, a missile body with flush air intake was fabricated.
