We developed an algorithm to simulate the generation of virtual nanowebs using the Monte Carlo method. To evaluate the pore size of the simulated multi-layered nanoweb, an estimation algorithm was developed using a ghost particle having zero volume and mass. The penetration time of the ghost particle through the virtual nanoweb was dependent on the pore size. By using iterative ghost particle penetrations, we obtained reliable data for the evaluation of the pore size and distribution of the virtual nanowebs. The penetration time increased with increasing number of layers and area ratio, whereas it decreased with increasing fiber diameter. Dimensional analysis showed that the penetration time can be expressed as a function of the fiber diameter, area ratio and number of layers.

화재특성을 보다 현실감 있게 분석하기 위해서는 관련된 화재 역학의 정확한 물성 정보를 필요로 하게 되며, 이러한 화재물성을 획득하는 하나의 방법으로서 역물성 분석이 고려될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 역물성 해석의 한가지 방법으로서 역열전달 해석 등에 많이 응용되고 있는 유전 알고리즘을 이용하였다. 고체 형태의 화재 물질로서 비교적 단순한 반응 특성을 나타내는 탄화물이 외부로부터 열을 받아 열분해되는 과정을 비정상 상태의 일차원문제로 간략화하여 해석하였으며, 이 과정에서 관계되는 반응역학의 물성을 추정하기 위하여 유전 알고리즘을 이용하였다. 이러한 역물성 분석의 입력 자료로서는 주어진 물성값을 이용하여 1차원 비정상 문제의 해석 결과인 탄화물의 열분해 표면 온도와 질량소모율 등이 되며, 이들 입력 자료에 해당하는 8개의 화재 물성치를 추정하여 보았다. 추정된 8개의 물성치 중 최대, 최소 상대오차는 각각 151%(탄화물의 비열), 1.81%(탄화 전 초기재료의 비열)이며, 추정된 8개의 화재 물성치를 입력하여 계산한 표면 온도와 질량소모율의 가상실험값에 대한 평균 상대오차는 각각 0.99773%, 3.087802%로 비교적 정확한 값을 추정한 것으로 나타났다.

하천을 따라 분포된 비점 오염원을 하천 수질모형의 매개변수들과 동시에 추정하는 체계적인 방법을 제안하였다. 수립된 방법을 QUAL2E 모형과 함께 충주댐 하류의 남한강 구간에 적용하여 모형의 반응계수와 비점 오염 부하량에 대한 최적 추정을 수행하였다. 민감도 분석 결과로부터 선정된 반응계수들에 대한 초기 추정 결과에 따르면 하천 시스템에 대한 질량수지가 만족되기 위해서는 질소와 인의 비점 오염 부하량의 입력이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 총질소와 총인에 대한 비점 오염 부하를 포함하여 확장된 추정 문제의 해로써 비점 오염 부하량을 추정하였다. 비점 오염 부하량과 동시에 추정된 반응계수들과 비점 오염원을 고려하지 않고 추정된 반응계수의 비친 결과, 그 자체에 대한 추정을 위해서 뿐만 아니라 수질모형의 적절한 보정을 위하여 비점 오염 부하량이 최적 추정 과정에 포함될 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 하천수질 의형에 대한 최적추정 방법의 적용성을 민감도계수 행렬 구조의 관점에서 논하였다.

본 논문은 노이즈가 비 정규 분포를 따르는 수중 환경에서 비 선형 필터 기법에 따른 Mass-Damper-Spring (MBK) 시스템 위치추정에 관한 연구 내용이다. 최근 위치 추정에 사용되는 필터는 확장 칼만 필터 (EKF: Extended Kalman Filter) 와 파티클 필터(Particle Filter)가 주목 받고 있다. EKF는 가우시안 잡음 (Gaussian Noise) 이 존재하는 비선형 시스템에서 정확도가 높은 알고리즘으로 널리 사용되고 있지만, 수중 환경과 같이 비 가우시안 잡음이 존재하는 경우 사용에 많은 제약이 따른다. 이에 본 논문에서는 상태예측을 기반으로 둔 EKF와 비교하여, 통계적 발생 가능성 인자 (Maximum Likelihood) 에 기반한 분포 재해석 기법을 이용한 개선된 ODPF (One-Dimension Particle Filter)를 제안한다. 모의 실험을 통하여 non-Gaussian noise가 존재하는 수중 환경에서 EKF와 제안한 Particle filter를 사용한 위치 추정 결과를 비교 분석하였으며, 계산 용량 및 통계 샘플이 충분한 경우 ODPF가 EKF 대비 정확한 위치 추정 결과를 제공하는 것을 확인하였다.

Nonlinear time-domain system identification (SI) algorithm is proposed to assess damage in a shear building by synchronously estimating time-varying stiffness and damping parameters using measured acceleration data. Mass properties have been assumed as the a priori known information. Viscous damping was utilized for the current research. To chase possible nonlinear dynamic behavior under severe vibration, an incremental governing equation of vibrational motion has been utilized. Stiffness and damping parameters are estimated at each time step by minimizing the response error between measured and computed acceleration increments at the measured degrees-of-freedom. To solve a nonlinear constrained optimization problem for optimal structural parameters, sensitivities of acceleration increment were formulated with respect to stiffness and damping parameters, respectively. Incremental state vectors of vibrational motion were computed numerically by Newmark-${\beta}$ method. No model is pre-defined in the proposed algorithm for recovering the nonlinear response. A time-window scheme together with Monte Carlo iterations was utilized to estimate parameters with noise polluted sparse measured acceleration. A moving average scheme was applied to estimate the time-varying trend of structural parameters in all the examples. To examine the proposed SI algorithm, simulation studies were carried out intensively with sample shear buildings under earthquake excitations. In addition, the algorithm was applied to assess damage with laboratory test data obtained from free vibration on a three-story shear building model.

This paper presents a PID automatic gain-tuning algorithm for the electronic throttle valve which is driven by wire. Since the system characteristics of position control for electronic throttle valve are so complicated that both the real time robustness and the manufacturing cost must be considered for mass production. To resolve this paradox, a kind of algorithm called RLS (Recursive Least Square) is adopted for the control of the ETB (Electronic Throttle Body). Using this algorithm, the PID gains can be adjusted automatically with the estimated system parameters. Furthermore, a pre-filter is supplemented for the sake of the robustness against the friction and loads. From the industrial requests for the system, the design specifications are decided as follows: the settling time should be less than 1sec and the overshoot should be kept below 3%. The results of the experiments based on this approach show that the high robustness can be achieved while the system stability is satisfied steadily. A parameter estimation scheme and a gain-tuning algorithm have been properly combined and utilized in this research and the effectiveness is verified through the real experiments.

Normal strategy of structure optimization procedure has been minimum cost or weight design. Minimum weight design satisfying an allowable stress has been used for the ship and offshore structure, but minimum cost design could be used for the case of high human cost. Natural frequency analysis and forced vibration one have been used for the strength estimation of marine structures. For the case of high precision experiment facilities in marine field, the structure has normally enough margin in allowable stress aspect and sometimes needs high natural frequency of structure to obtain very high precise experiment results. It is not easy to obtain a structure design with high natural frequency, since the natural frequency depend on the stiffness to mass ratio of the structure and increase of structural stiffness ordinary accompanies the increase of mass. It is further difficult at the grillage structure design using the profiles, because the properties of profiles are not continuous but discrete, and resource of profiles are limited at the design of grillage structure. In this paper, the grillage structure design system under the constraint of high natural frequency is introduced. The design system adopted genetic algorithm to realize optimization procedure and can be used at the design of the experimental facilities of marine field such as a towing carriage, PMM, test frame, measuring frame and rotating arm.

Main content extraction of web pages is widely used in search engines, web content aggregation and mobile Internet browsing. However, a mass of irrelevant information such as advertisement, irrelevant navigation and trash information is included in web pages. Such irrelevant information reduces the efficiency of web content processing in content-based applications. The purpose of this paper is to propose an automatic main content extraction method of web pages. In this method, we use two indicators to describe characteristics of web pages: text density and hyperlink density. According to continuous distribution of similar content on a page, we use an estimation algorithm to judge if a node is a content node or a noisy node based on characteristics of the node and neighboring nodes. This algorithm enables us to filter advertisement nodes and irrelevant navigation. Experimental results on 10 news websites revealed that our algorithm could achieve a 96.34% average acceptable rate.

The dynamic coupling between shaker and test-article has been investigated by recent research through the so called Virtual Shaker Testing (VST) approach. Basically a VST model includes the mathematical models of the test-item, of the shaker body, of the seismic mass and the facility vibration control algorithm. The subsequent coupled dynamic simulation even if more complex than the classical hard-mounted sine test-prediction, is a closer representation of the reality and is expected to be more accurate. One of the most remarkable benefits of VST is the accurate quantification of the frequency down-shift (with respect to the hard-mounted value), typically affecting the first lateral resonance of heavy test-items, like medium or large size Spacecraft (S/Cs), once mounted on the shaker. In this work, starting from previous successful VST experiences, the parameters having impact on the frequency shift are identified and discussed one by one. A simplified analytical system is thus defined to propose an efficient and effective way of calculating the lower bound frequency shift through a simple equation. Such equation can be useful to correct the S/C lateral natural frequency measured during the test, in order to remove the contribution attributable to the shaker in use. The so-corrected frequency value becomes relevant when verifying the compliance of the S/C w.r.t. the frequency requirement from the Launcher Authority. Moreover, it allows to perform a consistent post-test correlation of the first lateral natural frequency of S/C FE model.

We present a newly developed algorithm based on a Bayesian method for 2D tilted-ring analysis of disk galaxies which operates on velocity fields. Compared to the conventional ones based on a chi-squared minimisation procedure, this new Bayesian-based algorithm less suffers from local minima of the model parameters even with high multi-modality of their posterior distributions. Moreover, the Bayesian analysis implemented via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling only requires broad ranges of posterior distributions of the parameters, which makes the fitting procedure fully automated. This feature is essential for performing kinematic analysis of an unprecedented number of resolved galaxies from the upcoming Square Kilometre Array (SKA) pathfinders' galaxy surveys. A standalone code, the so-called '2D Bayesian Automated Tilted-ring fitter' (2DBAT) that implements the Bayesian fits of 2D tilted-ring models is developed for deriving rotation curves of galaxies that are at least marginally resolved (> 3 beams across the semi-major axis) and moderately inclined (20 < i < 70 degree). The main layout of 2DBAT and its performance test are discussed using sample galaxies from Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) observations as well as artificial data cubes built based on representative rotation curves of intermediate-mass and massive spiral galaxies.
