This paper proposes a method for shape optimization of trusses. The potential savings offered by shape optimization will certainly be more significant than those resulting from fixed-geometry optimization. On the other hand, difficulties associated with topology and geometry optimization are still in existence. Even with a known topology, the geometry optimization problem is still a difficult task. An evolutionary procedure to be adopted and improved in this work, however, offers a means to achieve optimization in topology and geometry together. A plane truss structure is modelled within a specified domain and made to include a great number of nodes and members. Then the structure is analyzed and those members with stresses below a certain level are progressively eliminated from the structural system In this manner the structure evolves into a truss with a better topology and geometry by removing less important parts. Through the worked examples, we can see that the method presented in this Paper shows much promise.

To identify and evaluate the risk factors in WMSD work, a number of ergonomic workload evaluation methods have been developed. In the legal examination of WMSD risk factors, simple observational workload evaluation methods are widely used instead of using costly measurement equipments such as EMG and motion analyzer. The simple workload evaluation methods can be categorized into three groups; risk factor checklist methods, posture observation methods, and manual material handling task evaluation methods. In terms of the categories, this survey summarized several representative workload evaluation methods and compared them each other. Then some industrial application cases referring each the workload evaluation methods were surveyed. Due to the characteristics of each method, the selection and application procedure of workload evaluation method should be appropriate for the corresponding work. Therefore, some guidelines for the selection and application procedure of workload evaluation method were suggested.

The methodology for maintenance system development should overall be considered with all of task characteristic, schedule, and the technical condition of investment sources. This research applies Waterfall model to methodology for the development and construction of maintenance system through customizing the CD (Custom Development) procedure of "HSDM (Hyundai System Development Methodology)" based on information engineering. The waterfall model called as classic life cycle paradigm is defined for the sequent development procedure, which make progress a next step after that a previous step is admitted with thorough review. This model which is popular and the oldest paradigm is used for system development by four steps; demands analysis, design, construction, and maintenance. This methodology advances higher abstract step from higher lower step using top-down approach from concept definition to construction, which notices the end of a step whenever a step is over. Therefore, each step is exactly divided, and consequently the output is clearly yielded.

There are studied on the evaluation of flexibility and design/operation of FMS. However. a new method that can assess the performance of FMS is propose in this study. To evalute the performance of an FMS the ordinary for total cost is not applied. Instead, a specially developed cost function is used to measure the performanced of proposed systems. The procedure is developed for deterministic variables cases. An FMS can produce various products systematically under computer control the evaluation of an FMS operation is not a simple task. The proposed procedure is done through computer simulation due to the complicated nature of the problem. A simulation model is developed using SIMAN and FORTRAN for practical application.

Traditional quality control for manufacturing or service sector is not suitable for the quality control of a project as the project is one-time task constrained by time, cost, and quality. To meet the internal and external customers' requirements, quality costs approach to the project will be effective. Hence, we propose PONC (price of nonconformance) estimation procedure and a mathematical model, which are focused on activity-based prevention in the execution step and warranty step of EPLC (extended project life cycle). This procedure and model will help project manager develop preventive action plan for project quality costs minimization from nonconformance risk activities and PONC estimates information.

Analysis of R/C columns requires modeling of the plastic hinge region, as well as nonlinear material characteristics. This becomes a challenging task in view of the nonlinearity of both steel and concrete. Furthermore, formation and progression of plasticity in the hinge is a difficult phenomenan to simulate, especially under reversed cyclic loading and decaying strength conditions. This research provide one analytical model employed in column analysis, including the analysis procedure for establishing inelastic force-deformation relationships. The analytical results show good correlation with experimental data. The employed procedure with the adopted analytical models can be used to compute inelastic displacements of concrete columns with welded reinforcement grids. The inelastic deformability beyond the peak was similar to those indicated by columns with conventional ties. The superior performance of columns with welded grids may be attributed to the improved confinement characteristics of grids associated with increased rigidity of welded ties.

Identification of meaningful patterns and trends in large volumes of text data is an important task in various research areas. In the present study, we propose a procedure to find meaningful tendencies based on a combination of text mining, cluster analysis, and low-dimensional embedding. To demonstrate applicability and effectiveness of the proposed procedure, we analyzed the inaugural addresses of the presidents of the United States from 1789 to 2009. The main results of this study show that trends in the national policy agenda can be discovered based on clustering and visualization algorithms.

Soft or extreme soft storeys in multi-storied buildings cause localized damage (and even collapse) during strong earthquake shaking. The presence of such soft or extremely soft storey is identified through provisions of vertical stiffness irregularity in seismic design codes. Identification of the irregularity in a building requires estimation of lateral translational stiffness of each storey. Estimation of lateral translational stiffness can be an arduous task. A simple procedure is presented to estimate storey stiffness using only properties of fundamental lateral translational mode of oscillation (namely natural period and associated mode shape), which are readily available to designers at the end of analysis stage. In addition, simplified analytical expressions are provided towards identifying stiffness irregularity. Results of linear elastic time-history analyses indicate that the proposed procedure captures the irregularity in storey stiffness in both low- and mid-rise buildings.

The optimal selection of Prime Implications for the multi-output switching function is difficult task, as the input variables increase. This paper is concerned with the technique for the minimization of the multi-output switching function using the intersection table. This procedure is applicable to both manual and computer-programmed realization without complexity.

The analysis of eigenvalue and eigenvector is a crucial procedure for many electromagnetic computation problems. However, eigenpair computation is timing-consuming task. Thus, its parallelization is required for designing large-scale and precision three-dimensional electromagnetic machines. In this paper, the Davidson method is parallelized on a cluster of workstations. Performance of the parallelization scheme is reported. This scheme is applied to a ridged waveguide design problem.
