The study on the performance of the nonlinear friction tuned mass dampers (FTMD) for the mitigation of the seismic responses of the structures is a topic that still inspires the efforts of researchers. The present paper aims to carry out a numerical study on the optimum tuning of TMD and FTMD parameters using a multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm including soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects for seismic applications. Considering a 3-story structure, the performances of the optimized TMD and FTMD are compared with the uncontrolled structure for three types of soils and the fixed base state. The simulation results indicate that, unlike TMDs, optimum tuning of FTMD parameters for a large preselected mass ratio may not provide a best and optimum design. For low mass ratios, optimal selection of friction coefficient has an important key to enhance the performance of FTMDs. Consequently, a free parameter search of all FTMD parameters provides a better performance in comparison with considering a preselected mass ratio for FTMD in the optimum design stage of the FTMD. Furthermore, the SSI significant effects on the optimum design of the TMD and FTMD. The simulation results also show that the FTMD provides a better performance in reducing the maximum top floor displacement and acceleration of the building in different soil types. Moreover, the performance of the TMD and FTMD decrease with increasing soil softness, so that ignoring the SSI effects in the design process may give an incorrect and unrealistic estimation of their performance.

[Purpose] This pilot study aimed to develop a regression model to estimate the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) of Korean adults using various easy-to-measure dependent variables. [Methods] The EPOC and dependent variables for its estimation (e.g., sex, age, height, weight, body mass index, fat-free mass [FFM], fat mass, % body fat, and heart rate_sum [HR_sum]) were measured in 75 healthy adults (31 males, 44 females). Statistical analysis was performed to develop an EPOC estimation regression model using the stepwise regression method. [Results] We confirmed that FFM and HR_sum were important variables in the EPOC regression models of various exercise types. The explanatory power and standard errors of estimates (SEE) for EPOC of each exercise type were as follows: the continuous exercise (CEx) regression model was 86.3% (R²) and 85.9% (adjusted R²), and the mean SEE was 11.73 kcal, interval exercise (IEx) regression model was 83.1% (R²) and 82.6% (adjusted R²), while the mean SEE was 13.68 kcal, and the accumulation of short-duration exercise (AEx) regression models was 91.3% (R²) and 91.0% (adjusted R²), while the mean SEE was 27.71 kcal. There was no significant difference between the measured EPOC using a metabolic gas analyzer and the predicted EPOC for each exercise type. [Conclusion] This pilot study developed a regression model to estimate EPOC in healthy Korean adults. The regression model was as follows: CEx = -37.128 + 1.003 × (FFM) + 0.016 × (HR_sum), IEx = -49.265 + 1.442 × (FFM) + 0.013 × (HR_sum), and AEx = -100.942 + 2.209 × (FFM) + 0.020 × (HR_sum).

A new curve fitting algorithm based on modal analysis is introduced for extracting the modal parameters from the measured frequency responses. To compensate the effect of cut-off frequency ranges the transfer function including residual mass and residual flexibility is employed. Model parameters are computed from the newly defined form of transfer function in a simple way. The accuracy of this algorithm is proved by applying to the 3 degrees of freedom model and vibration of cantilever beam.

This paper describes the design of an adaptive closed circuit anesthesia controller based on a multiplexed mass spectrometer system. The controller deals with measurement deterioration caused by measurement delay and rise time through a tong catheter as well as long sampling times due to the multiplexed measurements. Measurement data is extrapolated between sampling periods to increase the estimation convergence rate. A multiple-step-ahead predictive control algorithm is used to calculate intermediatc control inputs between sampling intervals. Simulations are used to validate the designed controller.

We present a possible bias in the estimation of velocity dispersions for galaxy groups due to the contribution of subgroups which are infalling into the groups. We execute a systematic search for flux-limited galaxy groups and subgroups based on the spectroscopic galaxies with r < 17.77 mag of SDSS data release 12, by using DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Application with Noise) and Hierarchical Clustering Method which are well known unsupervised machine learning algorithm. A total of 2042 groups with at least 10 members are found and ~20% of groups have subgroups. We found that the estimation of velocity dispersions of groups using total galaxies including those in subgroups are underestimated by ~10% compared to the case of using only galaxies in main groups. This result suggests that the subgroups should be properly considered for mass measurement of galaxy groups based on the velocity dispersion.

본 연구에서는 분포형 모형과 셀의 유입, 유출 및 저류량에 대한 질량보존의 법칙을 이용하여 토사의 이송 및 퇴적분포예측기법을 개발하였다. 모형은 (a) 토사침식 예측 (b) 흐름방향 및 유출량 산정 그리고 (c) 토사에 대한 질량보존의 법칙에 따른 셀별 토사이동량 산정의 세 단계로 구성되었다. 토양침식은 범용토양손실공식(USLE)을 활용하였으며 분포형 모형에서의 경사장(L) 산정은 일방향(SF)과 다방향 흐름 알고리즘(MF)을 사용하였다. 경사(S) 산정을 위해서는 Maximum Downhill Slope Method (MDS) and the Neighborhood Method (NBH) 기법을 활용하였고 셀별 토양의 이동은 Ferro등(1998)과 Swift (2000)의 토사전달률(DR)개념을 적용하였다. 개발된 모형은 시험유역의 실측 토사량과의 비교검토를 통하여 검증하였다. 3개의 농업용 저수지 유역에 적용한 결과, Ferro의 토사전달률 산정공식과 MDS, MF 기법을 이용한 해석이 저수지의 운영기록과 가장 유사한 결과를 제시한다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, an innovative finite element updating method is presented based on the variation wavelet transform coefficients of Auto/cross-correlations function (WTCF). The Quasi-linear sensitivity of the wavelet coefficients of the WTCF concerning the structural parameters is evaluated based on incomplete measured structural responses. The proposed algorithm is used to estimate the structural parameters of truss and plate models. By the solution of the sensitivity equation through the least-squares method, the finite element model of the structure is updated for estimation of the location and severity of structural damages simultaneously. Several damage scenarios have been considered for the studied structure. The parameter estimation results prove the high accuracy of the method considering measurement and mass modeling errors.

일반적으로 다단 축류 터빈은 높은 압력비에서 유동 가속으로 인하여 특정 단에서 초킹 현상이 발생하게 된다. 초킹의 경우 유량 변화 없이 압력비만 증가하게 되며, 이러한 특성을 입구 유량 경계조건을 사용하는 일반적인 평균반경해석법을 이용하여 예측하는데 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 초킹 영역에서의 성능을 예측하는 알고리즘을 재안하였다. 초킹 지점 이후에는 초킹이 발생하는 노즐 혹은 로터 출구 유동이 팽창하는 특성을 반영하여 고정된 유량 조건에서 압력비가 변할 수 있도록 알고리즘을 구성하였다. 이러한 결과를 다단 축류 터빈 전산해석 결과 및 실험결과와 비교하여 신뢰성을 확인하였다.

FE model-based dynamic analysis has been widely used to predict the dynamic characteristics of civil structures. In a physical point of view, an FE model is unavoidably different from the actual structure as being formulated based on extremely idealized engineering drawings and design data. The conventional model updating methods such as direct method and sensitivity-based parameter estimation are not flexible for model updating of complex and large structures. Thus, it is needed to develop a model updating method applicable to complex structures without restriction. The main objective of this paper is to present the model updating method based on the hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) by combining the genetic algorithm as global optimization method and modified Nelder-Mead's Simplex method as local optimization method. This FE model updating method using HGA does not need the derivation of derivative function related to parameters and without application of complicated inverse analysis methods. In order to allow its application on diversified and complex structures, a commercial FEA tool is adopted to exploit previously developed element library and analysis algorithms. Moreover, an output-level objective function making use of measurement and analytical results is also presented to update simultaneously the stiffness and mass of the analysis model. The numerical examples demonstrated that the proposed method based on HGA is effective for the updating of the FE model of bridge structures.
