Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) is a powerful tool for design optimization when considering probabilistic characteristics of design variables. However, it is often computationally intensive because of the coupling of reliability analysis and cost minimization. In this study, the concept of reliability mapping function is defined based on the relationship between the reliability index obtained by using the mean value first order reliability method and the failure probability obtained by using an improved response surface method. Double-loop involved in the classical RBDO can be converted into single-loop by using the reliability mapping function. Since the computational effort of the mean value first order reliability method is minimal, RBDO by using reliability mapping functions should be highly efficient. Engineering examples are given to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method. Numerical results indicated that the proposed method has the similar accuracy as Monte Carlo simulation, and it can obviously reduce the computational effort.

시맨틱 웹이 대두되면서 온톨로지의 사용이 점차 늘어나고 있다. 동일한 분야에 관한 온톨로지일지라도 구축 방법과 활용 형태에 따라 같은 개념이 다른 형태로 표현되거나, 다른 개념이 같은 형태로 표현될 수 있다. 이러한 온톨로지들을 공유하고 재사용하기 위해서는 온톨로지의 매핑이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 온톨로지의 어휘 정보를 이용하여 다단계로 매핑하고, 이 결과를 기반으로 구조 정보의 유사성을 검사하는 방법을 제안한다. 온톨로지에서 어휘 정보가 부여되지 않는 블랭크 노드를 추가로 확장하여 매핑 성능을 향상시켰다. 실험을 통하여 86.38%의 F1-measure값을 얻을 수 있었다.

Automatic generation method of structural analysis model data for a truss bridge is presented through 3-D bridge information modeling based on Industry Foundation Classes(IFC). The mapping schema is proposed between a steel bridge information model based on STEP and a truss bridge information model based on the IFC. The geometry information from mapping is presented by IFC model, and SAP 2000 that can import the IFC file performs the structural analysis. Numerical analysis for a truss bridge is performed in this paper.

Domain mapping is a bijective transformation of one domain to another, usually from a complicated general domain to a chosen convex domain. This is directly useful in many application problems like shape modeling, morphing, texture mapping, shape matching, remeshing, path planning etc. A new approach considering the domain as made up of structural elements, like membranes or trusses, is developed and implemented using the nonlinear finite element formulation. The mapping is performed in two stages, boundary mapping and inside mapping. The boundary of the 3-D domain is mapped to the surface of a convex domain (in this case, a sphere) in the first stage and then the displacement/distortion of this boundary is used as boundary conditions for mapping the interior of the domain in the second stage. This is a general method and it develops a bijective mapping in all cases with judicious choice of material properties and finite element analysis. The consistent global parameterization produced by this method for an arbitrary genus zero closed surface is useful in shape modeling. Results are convincing to accept this finite element structural approach for domain mapping as a good method for many purposes.

Computational procedure within the framework of return mapping technique has been presented to integrate the constitutive behavior of a concrete model. Developed by Ohtani and Chen, this concrete model is based on multiple hardening concept, and is rate-independent and associative. Consistent tangent operator suitable for finite element analysis is derived to preserve the rate of convergence. Accuracy of the integration technique is verified and compared with available experimental data. Computational efficiency is demonstrated by comparing with results based on elasto-plastic tangent.

Mapping brain structural and functional connections through the whole brain is essential for understanding brain mechanisms and the physiological bases of brain diseases. Although region specific structural or functional deficits cause brain diseases, the changes of interregional connections could also be important factors of brain diseases. This review will introduce common neuroimaging modalities, including structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging, and other recent neuroimaging analyses methods, such as voxel-based morphometry, cortical thickness analysis, local gyrification index, and shape analysis for structural imaging. Tract-Based Spatial Statistics, TRActs Constrained by UnderLying Anatomy for diffusion MRI, and independent component analysis for fMRI also will also be introduced.

Inevitable response loss under complex operational conditions significantly affects the integrity and quality of measured data, leading the structural health monitoring (SHM) ineffective. To remedy the impact of data loss, a common way is to transfer the recorded response of available measure point to where the data loss occurred by establishing the response mapping from measured data. However, the current research has yet addressed the structural condition changes afterward and response mapping learning from a small sample. So, this paper proposes a novel data driven structural response reconstruction method based on a sophisticated designed generating adversarial network (UAGAN). Advanced deep learning techniques including U-shaped dense blocks, self-attention and a customized loss function are specialized and embedded in UAGAN to improve the universal and representative features extraction and generalized responses mapping establishment. In numerical validation, UAGAN efficiently and accurately captures the distinguished features of structural response from only 40 training samples of the intact structure. Besides, the established response mapping is universal, which effectively reconstructs responses of the structure suffered up to 10% random stiffness reduction or structural damage. In the experimental validation, UAGAN is trained with ambient response and applied to reconstruct response measured under earthquake. The reconstruction losses of response in the time and frequency domains reached 16% and 17%, that is better than the previous research, demonstrating the leading performance of the sophisticated designed network. In addition, the identified modal parameters from reconstructed and the corresponding true responses are highly consistent indicates that the proposed UAGAN is very potential to be applied to practical civil engineering.

본 연구는 구조적 동형을 활용한 순열과 조합의 교수 학습이 학생들의 학업 성취도에 효과가 있는지를 살펴보고 문제 해결 과정에서 나타나는 학생들의 특징이 무엇인지를 분석하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 S고등학교 2학년 2개 반 학생들을 대상으로 실험반에는 4차시의 구조적 동형을 활용한 수업을, 비교반에는 4차시의 기존의 교과서 중심의 수업을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 구조적 동형을 활용한 수업은 기존의 교과서 중심의 수업보다 학업 성취도 향상에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 실험반의 5명을 대상으로 성취도 검사지를 분석하고 면담한 결과, 학생들은 순열과 조합 문제에서 '서로 다른', '서로 같은'과 같은 표현이 있으면 구조적 동형을 활용하여 문제를 해결하는 것이 더 쉽다고 하였고, 공 상자 모델에서는 공과 상자의 구별 여부만 판단하면 되므로 기존의 방법보다 더 많이 사용한다고 하였다. 또, 구조적 동형을 이해하는 학생들은 문제를 해결할 때 공 상자 모델과 기존의 방법 중에서 각 문항에 적절한 풀이 방법을 스스로 택하여 해결하는 것으로 나타났다.

With the increasing demand for interoperability among existing learning resource systems in order to enable the sharing of learning resources, such resources need to be annotated with ontologies that use different metadata standards. These different ontologies must be reconciled through ontology mediation, so as to cope with information heterogeneity problems, such as semantic and structural conflicts. In this paper, we propose an ontology-mapping technique using Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) to generate semantic mapping rules that integrate learning resources from different systems and that cope with semantic and structural conflicts. Reasoning rules are defined to support a semantic search for heterogeneous learning resources, which are deduced by rule-based inference. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach enables the integration of learning resources originating from multiple sources and helps users to search across heterogeneous learning resource systems.

본 문에서는 선체 중앙부의 유한요소 모델링과 진동해석이 수행되었다. 횡부재와 종통부재가 만나 3차원적으로 연결되어 있는 선체구조는 복잡한 구조적 특성 때문에 모델링에 많은 노력이 필요하다. 선수, 선미부에 비해 비교적 부재간의 접속이 간단한 중앙평행부의 진동해석과 같은 경우에는 모델링 기법을 개발해 사용할 수도 있다. 중앙부 횡부재와 종통부재가 만나는 부분의 접속성과 형상표현을 위해 keypoint, super element(SE) 개념을 도입하였고 형성된 SE 들을 isoparametric mapping 기법을 접속된 3차원 부재용으로 개선하여 유한요소로 분할하였다. 진동해석용으로 형성된 선체중앙부 요소망을 ANSYS로 가시화하였고 자유진동해석을 수행하였다.
