This paper deals with the fuzzy modeling for the complex and uncertain nonlinear systems, in which conventional and mathematical models may fail to give satisfactory results. Finally, we provide numerical examples to evaluate the feasibility and generality of the proposed method in this paper. The expert system which introduces fuzzy logic in order to process uncertainties is called fuzzy expert system. The fuzzy expert system, however, has a potential problem which may lead to inappropriate results due to the ignorance of some information by applying fuzzy logic in reasoning process in addition to the knowledge acquisition problem. In order to overcome these problems, We construct fuzzy inference network by extending the concept of reasoning network in this paper. In the fuzzy inference network, the propositions which form fuzzy rules are represented by nodes. And these nodes have the truth values representing the belief values of each proposition. The logical operators between propositions of rules are represented by links. And the traditional propagation rule is modified.

The knowledge of material stress-strain behavior is an essential requirement for design and analysis of deformation processes. Empirical stress-strain relationship and constitutive equations describing material behavior during deformation are being widely used, despite suffering some drawbacks in terms of ease of development, accuracy and speed. In the present study, back-propagation neural networks are used to model and predict the flow stresses of a HSLA steel under conditions of constant strain, strain rate and temperature. The performance of the network model is comparedto those of statistical models on rate equations. Well-trained network model provides fast and accurate results, making it superior to statistical models.

High-power pulsed laser ablation under atmospheric pressure is studied utilizing numerical and experimental methods with emphasis on recondensation ratio, and the dynamics of the laser induced vapor flow. In the numerical calculation, the temperature pressure, density and vaporization flux on a solid substrate are first obtained by a heat-transfer computation code based on the enthalpy method, and then the plume dynamics is calculated by using a commercial CFD package. To confirm the computation results, the probe beam deflection technique was utilized for measuring the propagation of a laser induced shock wave. Discontinuities of properties and velocity over the Knudsen layer were investigated. Related with the analysis of the jump condition, the effect of the recondesation ratio on the plume dynamics was examined by comparing the pressure, density, and mass fraction of ablated aluminum vapor. To consider the effect of mass transfer between the ablation plume and air, unlike the most previous investigations, the equation of species conservation is simultaneously solved with the Euler equations. Therefore the numerical model computes not only the propagation of the shock front but also the distribution of the aluminum vapor. To our knowledge, this is the first work that employed a commercial CFD code in the calculation of pulsed ablation phenomena.

온톨로지 기반 분산 정보시스템 환경에서는 시스템들 간의 자동화된 정보 공유를 지원하기 위해서 온톨로지 간의 의미적 이질성(semantic heterogeneity)을 해결해야 한다. 일반적으로 전문가들에게 미리 온톨로지들 간의 명시적 매핑(explicit mapping between ontologies)을 요청하고 있다. 하지만, 온톨로지 매핑의 고비용성 문제 때문에 모든 정보시스템들의 온톨로지 간의 일대일 매핑이 이루어지기 힘들다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 분산된 온톨로지들 간의 매핑정보를 수집하고 재사용(reuse) 하고자 한다. 즉, 분산 환경에서 활용 가능한 온톨로지 매핑 정보의 결합(composition)을 위한 방법론을 제안한다. 이를 통해 주어진 두 온톨로지 간의 매핑 정보를 간접적으로 예측할 수 있게 된다. 특히, 본 연구에서 제안하는 온톨로지 매핑 결합 기법의 성능 평가를 위하여, 자동화된 쿼리 전송(propagation) 및 변환 (transformation) 시스템에 적용하였다.

In this research, a web-based design support system is constructed for the design process of automotive steel pulley to gather engineering knowledge from pulley design data. In the design search module, a clustering tool for design data is proposed using K-means clustering algorithm. To obtain correlational patterns between design and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) data, a Multi-layer Back Propagation Network (MBPN) is applied. With the analyzed patterns from a number of simulation data, an estimation of minimum von mises can be provided for given design parameters of pulleys. The case study revealed fast estimation of minimum stress in the pulley within 12% error.

Magnesium alloys become popular research topic in last decade due to its light weight and relatively high strength-to-weight ratio in the energy aspiration age. Almost all structure materials are supposed to suspend stress. Magnesium is quite sensitive to corrosive environment, and also sensitive to environmental assisted cracking. However, so far we have the limited knowledge about the environmental sensitive cracking of magnesium alloys. The corrosion fatigue (CF) test was conducted. Many factors' effects, like grain size, texture, heat treatment, loading frequency, stress ratio, strain rate, chemical composition of environment, pH value, relative humidity were investigated. The results showed that all these factors had obvious influence on the crack initiation and propagation. Especially the dependence of CF life on pH value and frequency is quite different to the other traditional structural metallic materials. In order to interpret the results, the electrochemistry tests by polarization dynamic curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were conducted with and without stress. The corrosion of magnesium alloys was also studied by in-situ observation in environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). The corrosion rate changed with the wetting time during the initial corrosion process. The pre-charging of hydrogen caused crack initiated at $\beta$ phase, and with the increase of wetting time the crack propagated, implying that hydrogen produced by corrosion reaction participated in the process.

Earthborne vibrations are induced by construction operation such as pile driving, roadbed compaction, and blasting and also by transit activities such as truck and trains. The earthborne vibration creates the stress waves traveling outward from the source and can structurally damage nearby buildings and structures in the forms of direct damage to structure and damage due to dynamic settlement. The wave propagation characteristics depends on impact or vibration energy, distance from the source, and soil characteristics. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review on the mechanistic of earthborne vibration and the current practice of vibration control and mitigation measures. The paper describes the state of knowledge in the areas of: (1) mechanics of earthborne vibration, (2) damage mechanism by earthborne vibration, (3) calculation, prediction of ground vibration, (4) the criteria of vibration limits, (5) vibration mitigation measures and their performance, and (6) the current practice of vibration control and mitigation measures.

This research is comprised of virtually simulating behavior while experiencing low gravity effects in advance of real world testing in low gravity aboard Zero Gravity Corporation's (Zero-G) research aircraft (727-200F). The experiment simulated a drill rig penetrating a regolith simulant. Regolith is a layer of loose, heterogeneous superficial deposits covering solid rock on surfaces of the Earth' moon, asteroids and Mars. The behavior and propagation of space debris when drilled in low gravity was tested through simulations and visualization in a leading dynamic simulation software as well as discrete element modeling software and in preparation for comparing to real world results from flying the experiment aboard Zero-G. The study of outer space regolith could lead to deeper scientific knowledge of extra-terrestrial surfaces, which could lead us to breakthroughs with respect to space mining or in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). These studies aimed to test and evaluate the drilling process in low to zero gravity environments and to determine static stress analysis on the drill when tested in low gravity environments. These tests and simulations were conducted by a team from Texas A&M University's Department of Construction Science, the United States Air Force Academy's Department of Astronautical Engineering, and Crow Industries

최근 Micro Combution, Micro Propulsion, Particle Delivery Systems 등 다양한 공학 응용 분야에서 Micro Shock Tube의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 그러나 여러 분야에 Micro Shock Tube를 효율적으로 적용하기 위해서는 관내유동과 충격특성에 대한 상세한 지식을 필요로 한다. 경계층과 같은 많은 요소들 때문에 Micro Shock Tube 내부의 낮은 Reynolds Number와 높은 Knudsen Number가 형성되며, 이때의 충격파 전파는 기존의 Macro Shock Tube와 상이하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 Micro Shock Tube에서의 충격파 전파와 유동특성을 조사하기 위해 직경 3 mm와 6 mm의 두 가지 Micro Shock Tube를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였으며, 압력은 고압관의 파막압력과 저압관의 세 지점에서 측정되었다. 충격파 속도와 같은 다른 변수들의 실험값으로부터 충격파 강도를 찾고 충격파 선도를 나타내었다.
