This paper provides an overview of the basics and recent studies of Lyapunov-based nonlinear adaptive control, the aim of which is to improve or maintain the performance and stability of the closed-loop system by cancelling out the presumable uncertainties in the nonlinear system dynamics. The design principles are essentially based on Lyapunov's direct method. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive overview of Lyapunov-based nonlinear adaptive control techniques with simplified effective design examples, which are to be elaborated as related recent results are gradually shown. The scope of the survey contains research on singularity problems in adaptive control, the techniques to deal with linearly and nonlinearly parameterized uncertainties, robust neuro-adaptive control, and adaptive control methodologies combined with various nonlinear control techniques such as sliding-mode control, back-stepping, dynamic surface control, and optimal/$H_{\infty}$ control.

Nonlinear static analysis is used to quantify the resistance of the structure to lateral deformation and to gauge the mode of deformation and intensity of local demands. A simple method for the nonlinear static analysis of complex building structures subjected to monotonically increasing horizontal loading(pushover analysis) is presented. The method is designed to be a part of new methodologies for the seismic design and evaluation of structures. A variety of existing pushover analysis procedures are currently being consolidated under programs such as ATC 40 and FEMA 273. And various techniques have been recommended, including the use of constant lateral force profiles and the use of adaptive and multimodal approaches. In this paper a modal pushover analysis using design response spectra of UBC 97 is proposed. Proposed method is compared against the method in FEMA 273 and ATC 40, and results of time history analysis.

There have been worldwide efforts to develop environmental-friendly transportation systems, which aim to solve the environmental issues such as pollution with the traffic congestion in downtown. For some developed countries, environmental indicators to estimate their environmental performances as well as eco-design technologies in the field of transportation have been already secured. In Korea, however, relatively fundamental studies which are insufficient to calculate quantitatively the environmental impacts have been performed. In this study, the life cycle assessment was introduced as one of methodologies to evaluate environmental performance and reduce environmental impacts of a bimodal tram system throughout its entire life cycle, including design, manufacture, operation and disuse steps.

Various problems on logistics systems have been dealt with recently as research issues since they were regarded critical for taking up a better position in the increasingly competitive global market. In particular, the freight transportation is considered as a key factor which affects the economic competitiveness of a whole nation as well as the production cost of individual companies. The objective of this study is to identify main issues and review recent foreign and domestic studies related to the freight transportation. The studies are classified into two categories according to the hierarchical level in the decision making process: infra structure design and transportation strategies, service design and operation. Main issues are introduced with a brief review on the related literature and methodologies applied.

There are many methodologies fur doing analysis of system's reliability in early design stage. Among the methods, PRISM is, as compared to MIL-HDBK-217, a newly developed technology but not easy to use. Because PRISM provides models that predict a part failure rate and field database, called EPRD and NPRD that can be combined with prediction models. This paper presents some capabilities of the prediction models in PRISM and usability of EPRD and NPRD database in system level reliability prediction.

The present. study analyzes the formative languages in works adopting the De paysementtechnique in contemporary art centering on surrealism and is concerned about the methodology of this technique in integrating image compositions. The Depaysement technique widely adopted in many art works up to the contemporary art since the end of expressionism were dassified into seven methodologies for analysis. The results indicate that the Depaysement technique presents a distinctive methodology of creation to represent the inner spiritual qualities. Therefore, it is expected that further studies on expression of this Depaysement technique will be of great help in expanding ideas in Art in the future.

Construction industries worldwide have moved to Building Information Modeling environment in conjunction with IT technology progress. Korean domestic construction market is in the midst of enthusiastically adopting BIM technique and the public sectors try to apply the method to their projects. Difficulties have been introduced, however, in doing so mainly due to the complexity in reflecting the distinctions of the public cost estimate requirements to BIM modeling. The main objective of this study is to propose four kinds of BIM property information modeling methodologies which would be used in the quantity surveys of the public construction projects. To evaluate the applicability of the suggested modeling methods, the research performed a case study.

Today's product development environment is characterized as abrupt changes in consumer needs and short lifecycle of the product, which requires manufacturing companies to be equipped with time-to-market and time-to-volume strategies as prime factors for the successful product launch on market. They especially need to bring a product to the market faster with smart methodologies that enable assembly manufacturers to efficiently simulate and manage part assembly information throughout product development process. The research in this paper provides n e-manufacturing methodology considering geometric constraints in order to decide assembly process sequences. The methodology organizies the part layout (position & orientation) in order to optimize human postures during the assembly processes. As the case studies, assembly parts for two commercial products have been generated as CAD models and analyzed for the desired solutions for part assembly sequences using the proposed methodology.

For the implementation of callcontrol software, it will be shown how to divide problems into dimain and also presents methodologies to specify domains according to the object-orented analysis techniques. Domains is specified by the set of related objects as shown in call control examples. Events and conditons are able to be transformed into system invariant so that is possible to figure out the relationship between domains and those concludes that the software requirements specification can be established for the design and implementation. Relationships existing between domains can be formalized so as to verify software requirements.

The description of enterprise activities is the basis fur process improvement and information system building. To describe such activities, it is necessary to model the enterprise activities from the abstraction level to the implementation level in a stepwise and integrated form. For this reason, several modeling approaches have been proposed. However, most of them lacked the stepwise or integration aspects although some of them covered overall levels. This study proposes the hierarchical modeling approach for integrating the enterprise activity model from the abstraction level to the implementation level systematically. It is composed of five modeling levels such as function level, process level, task level, document workflow level, and event flow level. This study discusses the definition and characteristics of each level and compare our modeling frame with other modeling methodologies in case study.
