Cognitive radio (CR) technology is an effective solution to the spectrum scarcity issue. Collaborative spectrum sensing is known as a promising technique to improve the performance of spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks (CRNs). However, collaborative spectrum sensing is vulnerable to spectrum data falsification (SSDF) attack, where malicious users (MUs) may send false sensing data to mislead other secondary users (SUs) to make an incorrect decision about primary user (PUs) activity, which is one of the key adversaries to the performance of CRNs. In this paper, we propose a coalition based malicious users detection (CMD) algorithm to detect the malicious user in CRNs. The proposed CMD algorithm can efficiently detect MUs base on the Geary'C theory and be modeled as a coalition formation game. Specifically, SSDF attack is one of the key issues to affect the resource allocation process. Focusing on the security issues, in this paper, we analyze the power allocation problem with MUs, and propose MUs detection based power allocation (MPA) algorithm. The MPA algorithm is divided into two steps: the MUs detection step and the optimal power allocation step. Firstly, in the MUs detection step, by the CMD algorithm we can obtain the MUs detection probability and the energy consumption of MUs detection. Secondly, in the optimal power allocation step, we use the Lagrange dual decomposition method to obtain the optimal transmission power of each SU and achieve the maximum utility of the whole CRN. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed CMD and MPA scheme can achieve a considerable performance improvement in MUs detection and power allocation.

The concrete gravity dam is one of the most important parts of the nation's infrastructure. Besides the benefits, the dam also has some potentially catastrophic disasters related to the life of citizens directly. During the lifetime of service, some degradations in a dam may occur as consequences of operating conditions, environmental aspects and deterioration in materials from natural causes, especially from dynamic loads. Cumulative Absolute Velocity (CAV) plays a key role to assess the operational condition of a structure under seismic hazard. In previous researches, CAV is normally used in Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) fields, but there are no particular criteria or studies that have been made on dam structure. This paper presents a method to calculate the limitation of CAV for the Bohyeonsan Dam in Korea, where the critical Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) is estimated from twelve sets of selected earthquakes based on High Confidence of Low Probability of Failure (HCLPF). HCLPF point denotes 5% damage probability with 95% confidence level in the fragility curve, and the corresponding PGA expresses the crucial acceleration of this dam. For determining the status of the dam, a 2D finite element model is simulated by ABAQUS. At first, the dam's parameters are optimized by the Minitab tool using the method of Central Composite Design (CCD) for increasing model reliability. Then the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used for updating the model and the optimization is implemented from the selected model parameters. Finally, the recorded response of the concrete gravity dam is compared against the results obtained from solving the numerical model for identifying the physical condition of the structure.

A 24-month Advanced Power Reactor 1400 (APR1400) core with a very-low-boron (VLB) concentration has been investigated for an inherently safe and high-performance PWR in this work. To develop a high-performance APR1400 which is able to do the passive frequency control operation, VLB feature is essential. In this paper, the centrally-shielded burnable absorber (CSBA) is utilized for an efficient VLB operation in the 24-month cycle APR1400 core. This innovative design of the VLB APR1400 core includes the optimization of burnable absorber and loading pattern as well as axial cutback for a 24-month cycle operation. In addition to CSBA, an Er-doped guide thimble is also introduced for partial management of the excess reactivity and local peaking factor. To improve the neutron economy of the core, two alternative radial reflectors are adopted in this study, which are SS-304 and ZrO₂. The core reactivity and power distributions for a 2-batch equilibrium cycle are analyzed and compared for each reflector design. Numerical results show that a VLB core can be successfully designed with 24-month cycle and the cycle length is improved significantly with the alternative reflectors. The neutronic analyses are performed using the Monte Carlo Serpent code and 3-D diffusion code COREDAX-2 with the ENDF/B-VII.1.

기계학습은 학습에 이용되는 학습 데이터와 데이터를 예측할 인공신경망을 이용하여 비용함수를 만들고, 비용함수를 최소화시키는 파라미터들을 찾는 과정이다. 파라미터들은 비용함수의 그래디언트 기반 방법들을 이용하여 변화하게 된다. 디지털 신호가 복잡할수록, 학습하고자 하는 문제가 복잡할수록, 인공신경망의 구조는 더욱 복잡해지고 깊어진다. 복잡하고, 깊어지는 인공신경망 구조는 과적합(Over-fitting) 문제를 발생시킨다. 과적합 문제를 해결하기 위하여 파라미터의 가중치 감소 정규화 방법이 사용되고 있다. 우리는 이러한 방법에서 추가로 비용함수의 값을 이용한다. 이러한 방법으로 기계학습의 정확도가 향상되는 결과를 얻었으며 이는 수치 실험을 통하여 우수성이 확인된다. 이러한 결과는 기계학습을 통한 인공지능의 폭넓은 데이터에 대한 정확한 값을 도출한다.

Quality requirements of manufactured products or parts are given in the form of specification limits on the quality characteristics of individual units. If a product is to meet the customer's fitness for use criteria, it should be produced by a process which is stable or repeatable. In other words, it must be capable of operating with little variability around the target value or nominal value of the product's quality characteristic. In order to maintain and improve product quality, we need to apply statistical process control techniques such as histogram, check sheet, Pareto chart, cause and effect diagram, or control charts. Among those techniques, the most important one is control charting. The cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charts have been used in statistical process control (SPC) in industries for monitoring process shifts and supporting online measurement. The objective of this research is to apply Taguchi's quality loss function concept to cost based CUSUM control chart design. In this study, a modified quality loss function was developed to reflect quality loss situation where general quadratic loss curve is not appropriate. This research also provided a methodology for the design of CUSUM charts using Taguchi quality loss function concept based on the minimum cost per hour criterion. The new model differs from previous models in that the model assumes that quality loss is incurred even in the incontrol period. This model was compared with other cost based CUSUM models by Wu and Goel, According to numerical sensitivity analysis, the proposed model results in longer average run length in in-control period compared to the other two models.

냉각제 분사조건이 변화할 때 혼합가스 사출시스템 (또는 가스-스팀 발사체계) 냉각효율 및 발사체 사출성능의 변화를 확인하기 위해 3차원 수치모사를 수행하였다. 선행연구를 참조하여 구축한 1차원 모델을 통해 3차원 단상(single-phase) 계산모델을 검증한 후, Discrete Phase Model을 활용하여 고온의 기체에 냉각제 분사를 모사한 이상(two-phase) 유동 계산을 수행하였다. 냉각제 유량과 분사구 개수를 각각 변화시키면서 계산을 수행한 결과, 분사구 개수를 증가시켰을 경우 냉각효율이 보다 개선되었다. 또한 분사조건에 따라 냉각제 액적 서로간의 coalescence 발생 빈도 및 공간분포 변화가 발생하여 액적의 직경이 달라졌고, 이는 냉각제 증발률에 영향을 미쳤다. 냉각제의 증발은 breech 내부의 온도를 감소시키는 반면에 압력감소를 억제하여 사출시스템 최적화 설계에 있어 중요한 요소임을 확인하였다.

Main cable configurations under final dead load and in the unloaded state and critical construction parameters (e.g. unstrained cable length, unstrained hanger lengths, and pre-offsets for tower saddles and splay saddles) are the core considerations in the design and construction control of a suspension bridge. For the purpose of accurate calculations, it is necessary to take into account the effects of cable strands over the anchor spans, arc-shaped saddle top, and tower top pre-uplift. In this paper, a method for calculating the cable configuration under final dead load over a main span, two side spans, and two anchor spans, coordinates of tangent points, and unstrained cable length are firstly developed using conditions for mechanical equilibrium and geometric relationships. Hanger tensile forces and unstrained hanger lengths are calculated by iteratively solving the equations governing hanger tensile forces and the cable configuration, which gives careful consideration to the effect of hanger weight. Next, equations for calculating the cable configuration in the unloaded state and pre-offsets of saddles are derived from the cable configuration under final dead load and the conditions for unstrained cable length to be conserved. The equations for the main span, two side spans and two anchor spans are then solved simultaneously. In the proposed methods, coupled nonlinear equations are solved by turning them into an unconstrained optimization problem, making the procedure simplified. The feasibility and validity of the proposed methods are demonstrated through a numerical example.

Ultrapure ferritic stainless steel provides a new generation of long-span metal roof systems with continuous welding technology, which exhibits many unknown behaviors during wind excitation. This study focuses on the wind-resistant capacity of a new continuous welding stainless steel roof (CWSSR) system. Full-scale testing on the welding joints and the CWSSR system is performed under uniaxial tension and static ultimate wind uplift loadings, respectively. A finite element model is developed with mesh refinement optimization and is further validated with the testing results, which provides a reliable way of investigating the parameter effect on the wind-induced structural responses, namely, the width and thickness of the roof sheeting and welding height. Research results show that the CWSSR system has predominant wind-resistant performance and can bear an ultimate wind uplift loading of 10.4 kPa without observable failures. The welding joints achieve equivalent mechanical behaviors as those of base material is produced with the current of 65 A. Independent structural responses can be found for the roof sheeting of the CWSSR system, and the maximum displacement appears at the middle of the roof sheeting, while the maximum stress appears at the connection supports between the roof sheeting with a significant stress concentration effect. The responses of the CWSSR system are greatly influenced by the width and thickness of the roof sheeting but are less influenced by the welding height.

다수 무인기를 이용한 시스템은 정찰, 네트워킹, 항공 촬영 등 다양한 목적으로 활용되고 있다. 이러한 시스템에서 다수 무인기로 구성된 대형을 형성하고 유지하는 것은 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 다수 무인기의 대형을 형성하기 위한 자율화된 분산형 제어를 수행하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제어명령은 근접 무인기 또는 임무 영역으로부터 서로 밀어내는 방향으로 작용하는 2차 시스템 형태의 힘을 고려하였다. 제어명령은 외부의 개입 없이 계측과 통신으로부터 획득되는 상대위치/속도를 통해 계산된다. 이는 개별 무인기들이 기준거리를 추종하도록 하며 임무영역 안에 겹치지 않고 최대한 조밀하게 배치되도록 한다. 기준거리 결정에는 채우기 문제를 풀기 위한 최적화 기법과 유사한 방식을 적용하였다. 임무영역은 형성하고자 하는 대형의 외곽선으로 정의되며 임무에 따라 유동적으로 설정될 수 있다. 제안한 알고리즘의 성능을 확인하기 위하여 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 복잡성과 확장성을 고려한 영역에서 약 26.94초에 대형이 형성되며 약 71.91%의 채우기 밀도를 가지는 것을 확인하였다.
