An effective dexterous motion control method of redundant robot manipulators based on neural optimization network is proposed to satisfy multi-criteria such as singularity avoidance, minimizing energy consumption, and avoiding physical limits of actuator, while performing a given task. The method employs a neural optimization network with parallel processing capability, where only a simple geometric analysis for resolved motion of each joint is required instead of computing of the Jacobian and its pseudo inverse matrix. For dexterous motion, a joint geometric manipulability measure(JGMM) is proposed. JGMM evaluates a contribution of each joint differential motion in enlarging the length of the shortest axis among principal axes of the manipulability ellipsoid volume approximately obtained by a geometric analysis. Redundant robot manipulators is then controlled by neural optimization networks in such a way that 1) linear combination of the resolved motion by each joint differential motion should be equal to the desired velocity, 2) physical limits of joints are not violated, and 3) weighted sum of the square of each differential joint motion is minimized where weightings are adjusted by JGMM. To show the validity of the proposed method, several numerical examples are illustrated.

Based on the ideas of variational differential quadrature (VDQ) and finite element method (FEM), a numerical approach named as VDQFEM is applied herein to study the large deformations of plate-type structures under static loading with arbitrary shape hole made of functionally graded graphene platelet-reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) in the context of higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT). The material properties of composite are approximated based upon the modified Halpin-Tsai model and rule of mixture. Furthermore, various FG distribution patterns are considered along the thickness direction of plate for GPLs. Using novel vector/matrix relations, the governing equations are derived through a variational approach. The matricized formulation can be efficiently employed in the coding process of numerical methods. In VDQFEM, the space domain of structure is first transformed into a number of finite elements. Then, the VDQ discretization technique is implemented within each element. As the last step, the assemblage procedure is performed to derive the set of governing equations which is solved via the pseudo arc-length continuation algorithm. Also, since HSDT is used herein, the mixed formulation approach is proposed to accommodate the continuity of first-order derivatives on the common boundaries of elements. Rectangular and circular plates under various boundary conditions with circular/rectangular/elliptical cutout are selected to generate the numerical results. In the numerical examples, the effects of geometrical properties and reinforcement with GPL on the nonlinear maximum deflection-transverse load amplitude curve are studied.

An efficient optimization algorithm and damage-sensitive objective function are two main components in optimization-based Finite Element Model Updating (FEMU). A suitable combination of these components can considerably affect damage detection accuracy. In this study, a new hybrid damage-sensitive objective function is proposed based on combining two different objection functions to detect the location and extent of damage in structures. The first one is based on Generalized Pseudo Modal Strain Energy (GPMSE), and the second is based on the element's Generalized Flexibility Matrix (GFM). Four well-known population-based metaheuristic algorithms are used to solve the problem and report the optimal solution as damage detection results. These algorithms consist of Cuckoo Search (CS), Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO), Moth Flame Optimization (MFO), and Jaya. Three numerical examples and one experimental study are studied to illustrate the capability of the proposed method. The performance of the considered metaheuristics is also compared with each other to choose the most suitable optimizer in structural damage detection. The numerical examinations on truss and frame structures with considering the effects of measurement noise and availability of only the first few vibrating modes reveal the good performance of the proposed technique in identifying damage locations and their severities. Experimental examinations on a six-story shear building structure tested on a shake table also indicate that this method can be considered as a suitable technique for damage assessment of shear building structures.

Not all sciatica-like manifestations are of lumbar spine origin. Some of them are caused at points along the extra-spinal course of the sciatic nerve, making diagnosis difficult for the treating physician and delaying adequate treatment. While evaluating a patient with sciatica, straightforward diagnostic conclusions are impossible without first excluding sciatica mimics. Examples of benign extra-spinal sciatica are: piriformis syndrome, walletosis, quadratus lumborum myofascial pain syndrome, cluneal nerve disorder, and osteitis condensans ilii. In some cases, extra-spinal sciatica may have a catastrophic course when the sciatic nerve is involved in cyclical sciatica, or the piriformis muscle in piriformis pyomyositis. In addition to cases of sciatica with clear spinal or extra-spinal origin, some cases can be a product of both origins; the same could be true for pseudo-sciatica or sciatica mimics, we simply don't know how prevalent extra-spinal sciatica is among total sciatica cases. As treatment regimens differ for spinal, extra-spinal sciatica, and sciatica-mimics, their precise diagnosis will help physicians to make a targeted treatment plan. As published works regarding extra-spinal sciatica and sciatica mimics include only a few case reports and case series, and systematic reviews addressing them are hardly feasible at this stage, a scoping review in the field can be an eye-opener for the scientific community to do larger-scale prospective research.

최근의 경영환경의 발전 추세는 프로세스가 복잡해지고, 다수의 기업이 서로 상호작용하는 다조직 프로세스의 필요성이 증대되는 방향으로 전개되고 있다. 그리고, 이러한 문제에 대한 시스템적 접근법으로 BPM 시스템이 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나, 아직까지 BPM 시스템은 참여 주체들 사이에 발생하는 민감한 데이터나 정보에 대한 접근권한의 통제 기능을 제공하지 못하고 있다. 기존의 RBAC (Role-based Access Control) 모델은 승인을 얻지 못한 사용자가 객체에 접근하는 것을 방지하기 위한 논리적인 틀을 제공하기 위해 데이터베이스 및 다양한 어플리케이션에 도입되어 왔다 그러나, B2B와 SCM 등과 같은 보다 동적인 환경에서 기존의 방법론으로는 권한의 동적인 구성과 적용이 어려운 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 논문께서는 RBAC방법론에 기반한 새로운 권한 템플릿을 제시하고 이를 통해 기업간 전자거래에서의 접근 권한 통제를 효과적으로 할 수 있는 방법론을 제시한다. 또한 이러한 방법론의 프로토타입 시스템의 의사코드를 제시한다.

Three methods for design sensitivity such as numerical differentiation, analytical method and semi-analytical method have been developed for the last three decades. Although analytical design sensitivity analysis is exact, it is hard to implement for practical design problems. Therefore, numerical method such as finite difference method is widely used to simply obtain the design sensitivity in most cases. The numerical differentiation is sufficiently accurate and reliable for most linear problems. However, it turns out that the numerical differentiation is inefficient and inaccurate because its computational cost depends on the number of design variables and large numerical errors can be included especially in nonlinear design sensitivity analysis. Thus semi-analytical method is more suitable for complicated design problems. Moreover semi-analytical method is easy to be performed in design procedure, which can be coupled with an analysis solver such as commercial finite element package. In this paper, implementation procedure for the semi-analytical design sensitivity analysis outside of the commercial finite element package is studied and computational technique is proposed, which evaluates the pseudo-load for design sensitivity analysis easily by using the design variation of corresponding internal nodal forces. Errors in semi-analytical design sensitivity analysis are examined and numerical examples are illustrated to confirm the reduction of numerical error considerably.

대부분의 구조해석 문제는 외부에서 주어진 하중에 대한 변형과 응력에 관심을 두고 있지만 많은 경우에서 표면 또는 내부에 주어진 응력이나 트랙션을 구하는 역문제 해석이 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 구하고자 하는 트랙션에서 멀리 떨어진 영역의 변위를 측정하여 미지의 트랙션을 평가하는데 유한요소법을 사용한 역문제 수식화를 적용하였다. 일반적으로 역시스템의 불안정으로 인하여 측정 변위의 작은 오차는 해석 결과에 큰 영향을 주게 된다. 이와 같은 역시스템의 불안정성을 개선하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 구하고자 하는 트랙션에 가까운 단면의 변위를 Gram-Schmidt 수직화 기법을 통한 수직기저함수 사용하여 예측하고 보다 안정된 역문제를 해석하는 방법을 개발하였고 장점들을 수치 예제를 통하여 보여주었다.

Energy consumption by large computing systems has become an important research theme not only because the sources of energy are depleting fast but also due to the environmental concern. Computational grid is a huge distributed computing platform for the applications that require high end computing resources and consume enormous energy to facilitate execution of jobs. The organizations which are offering services for high end computation, are more cautious about energy consumption and taking utmost steps for saving energy. Therefore, this paper proposes a scheduling technique for Minimizing Energy consumption using Adapted Genetic Algorithm (MiE-AGA) for dependent tasks in Computational Grid (CG). In MiE-AGA, fitness function formulation for energy consumption has been mathematically formulated. An adapted genetic algorithm has been developed for minimizing energy consumption with appropriate modifications in each components of original genetic algorithm such as representation of chromosome, crossover, mutation and inversion operations. Pseudo code for MiE-AGA and its components has been developed with appropriate examples. MiE-AGA is simulated using Java based programs integrated with GridSim. Analysis of simulation results in terms of energy consumption, makespan and average utilization of resources clearly reveals that MiE-AGA effectively optimizes energy, makespan and average utilization of resources in CG. Comparative analysis of the optimization performance between MiE-AGA and the state-of-the-arts algorithms: EAMM, HEFT, Min-Min and Max-Min shows the effectiveness of the model.

본 연구에서는 Elman둥이 상시하중의 경우에 대해 제안한 새로운 형태의 캔키레바식 옹벽 설계방식을 지진하중을 고려한 경우에까지 확대적용하여 예상되는 효율성을 설계예를 통해 분석하였으며, 좀더 안전한 측에서의 셜계검토를 위해 캔티레바식 옹벽의 자체중량 및 뒷채움 일부분의 모래중량에 의한 수평관성력 등을 포함하는 분석법이 제시되었다. 또한 한계 평형상태가 아닌 다양한 토압상태에서의 설계검토를 목적으로 Mononobe-Okabe 동적토압계산식을 변형하였다. 결론적으로, 기초슬래브의 밑면이 경사진 캔티레바식 옹벽형태가 내진설계에 있어서 가장 효율적임을 알 수 있었다. 즉 다른 형태의 캔티레바식 옹벽에 비해, 활동에 대한 안전율은 가장 크면서도 옹벽축조에 관련된 콘크리트량, 굴착량 및 뒷채움 모래의 양은 가장 절감되는 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 후단부분을 $45^{\circ}$만큼 경사지게하는 캔티레바식 옹벽형태는, 상시하중 및 비교적 낮은 수준의 지진에 대해서는 효율성이 예상되나, 수평진도가 커짐에 따라 이와 같은 효율성을 기대할 수 없음을 알 수 있었다. 이에대한 주된 원인은, 옹벽 후단부분에 작용하는 수평발생토압합력의 감소율이 수평진도가 커짐에 따라 점차적으로 작아지는데 있다. 이외에도 기초슬레브의 밑면이 경사진 캔터레바식 옹벽에 관련된 설계도표를, 뒷채움 및 기초지반모래의 내부마찰각 크기, 지진하중시의 활동에 대한 안전율 규정 등을 각각 달리하여 제시하였다.

등방성 매질에서의 파형역산에 대한 연구는 1980년대부터 꾸준히 이루어져 왔으나 이방성 매질에 대한 연구는 그렇지 못하다. 본 연구에서는 이방성 매질에 대한 시간영역 셀기반 유한 차분 모델링 기법을 이용해 2차원 TI 구조에서의 파형역산 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 반복적인 비선형 역산에서 최대 급경사 방향은 역시간 구조보정의 역전파 방법을 이용하여 간접적으로 계산하였고, 이를 정규화 시키기 위해 슈도-헤시안 행렬을 이용하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 시간영역 파형역산 기법을 이방성 매질을 포함한 2층 구조와 이방성 Marmousi 모형 자료에 적용하고 이를 등방성 매질만을 고려한 기존의 파형역산 결과와 비교하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 이방성 매질을 등방성 매질로 가정하고 파형역산을 수행할 경우 정확한 영상을 얻을 수 없기 때문에, 실제 탐사 자료의 파형역산을 수행할 경우 이방성 매질을 고려해야 좀 더 정확한 지하 구조를 파악할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
