An estimation method for the amplitude and phase response of transmission line is discussed. and applied to narrow band ISDN subscriber line. The ABCD parameters of line are evaluated from four impedance values: the standard termination impedence at activated and deactivated stares, and the input impedances of line which can be estimated at each state. Estimating input impedence, the “chirp” signal is used as incident signal and noise effect can be reduced by ensemble averaging. These ABCD parameter estimations might be applicable to ether uniform or nonuniform line. Cleary the magnitude and phase response can be obtained from estimated ABCD parameters. The numerical simulation results for N ISDN subscriber line model are included, and the estimation error introduced by deviation in load impedence is also anlyzed.

In this paper, the method of parameter estimation of a mathematical constitutive model blown as the smooth elasto-plastic cap model is studied. To predict the response of the real soil using this model, the eight parameters describing the constitutive equations have to be determined. First, experimental data are obtained from simple laboratory experiments such as one dimensional confined compression test in a consolidometer and drained triaxial compression test with the Ottawa sand f3r the reference value. Then, the numerical experiments are performed in the cap model with initial guessed parameters. The optimization method is utilized to fit the model response to experimental data by minimizing the error between the laboratory and numerical responses. Special attention is given to the parameter estimation procedure of numerical triaxial test due to the difficulty of the lateral strain measurements.

The purpose of this paper is to study the design and the construction for the most economic and safe slope stability analysis. The approach to the purpose Iies in analyzing the characteristic on direction and distance by the sample value for the geotechnical parameters using the semi-variogram concept. Based on the result, we derive the Kriging system equation from the stochastical concept and solve the equation to find the weighting factor which is applied both the point estimation and the block estimation in the particular position. Comparing and analyzing the various methods. we find the best reliability, which is more accurate than any other.

The development of adaptive control algorithms for possibly nonminimum phase systems has been hampered by singularities that may arise in the control law. To solve this problem, one securing convergence of the estimates to their true values by inducing persistency of excitation in the plant signals using direct adaptive control method and indirect adaptive control method, and another in which the estimates are adequately modified to meet the controllability requirements using indirect adaptive control method, without persistency of excitation. This paper presents an adaptive scheme that achieves regulation without persistent excitation condition using direct adaptive control method and reduces estimation algorithms with direct estimation of controller parameters without estimation of plant parameters.

Inverse analysis of non-linear reinforced concrete bridge pier using recursive Gaussian filtering for in-situ condition assessment is the main theme of this work. For this purpose, minimum variance unbiased estimation using unscented sigma points is adopted here. The uniqueness of this inverse analysis lies in its approach for strain based updating of engineering demand parameters, where appropriate bound and constrained conditions are introduced to ensure numerical stability and convergence. In this analysis, seismic input is also identified, which is an added advantage for the structures having no dedicated sensors for earthquake measurement. First, the proposed strategy is tested with a simulated example whose hysteretic properties are obtained from the slow-cyclic test of a frame to investigate its efficiency and accuracy. Finally, the experimental test data of a full-scale bridge pier is used to study its in-situ condition in terms of Park & Ang damage index. Overall the study shows the ability of the augmented minimum variance unbiased estimation based recursive time-marching algorithm for non-linear system identification with the aim to estimate the engineering damage parameters that are the fundamental information necessary for any future decision making for retrofitting/rehabilitation.

This study proposes kinetic parameters of Ru catalyst for steam methane reforming (SMR). First, extensive experiments are performed under different SMR conditions to evaluate performance of the catalyst in SMR. Second, a kinetic model is designed and developed for parameter estimation and validation using gPROMS. Finally, estimated parameters are fitted to the kinetic model and then, the model results are compared with the experimental data. The model results are in a good agreement with the experimental data.

Little attention has been paid to Brazilian test for the estimation of uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of rocks as an indirect method despite high availability of civil engineering parameters. This paper employed Brazilian test value to estimate two parameters of igneous rocks (granite, andesite, rhyolite) of Korea. High reliability of Brazilian test has been supported by the conclusions drawn from point load test and Schmidt hammer strike values. It has also been found that this method can be applied easily and rapidly to the estimation of uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of rock cores when direct tests are not available.

Increasing use of information system has led to larger amount of developing expenses and demands on software. Until recent days, the model using regression analysis based on statistical algorithm has been used. However, Machine learning is more investigated now. This paper estimates the software cost using SVR(Support Vector Regression). a sort of machine learning technique. Also, it finds the best set of parameters applying immune algorithm. In this paper, software cost estimation is performed by SVR based on immune algorithm while changing populations, memory cells, and number of allele. Finally, this paper analyzes and compares the result with existing other machine learning methods.

Thermal shock test methods and thermal shock parameters for ceramics were reviewed from the following viewpoints: (1) The test methods should be based on the precise estimation of both temperature and thermal stress distributions in a specimen taking into account the temperature-dependent thermo-mechanical properties; (2) The thermal shock parameters must be defined as a physical property of the materials and described as a function of temperature at the fracture point of the specimen; (3) The relation between the strength and fracture toughness of brittle ceramics under a thermal shock load must be the same as the relation under a mechanical load. In addition, appropriate thermal shock parameters should be defined by the thermal shock strength and thermal shock fracture toughness based on stress and energy criteria, respectively. A constant heat flux method is introduced as a testing technique suitable for estimating these thermal shock parameters directly from the electric power charged.

Thermal performance tests of solar thermal collectors include determination of coefficient parameters in an efficiency equation. The parameters can be estimated using regression method to minimize an objective function as sum of differences between measured efficiency data and regressed efficiency equation. However, this conventional approach doesn't consider measurement uncertainties. In this presentation, a method to determine regression parameters in the efficiency equation and uncertainties of the parameters is described with mainly mathematical expressions based on literature reviews. In the method, parameters in the equation for collector efficiency can be determined using regression analysis with a weighting factor in the objective function. The weighting factor can be uncertainties of the differences between measured and fitted efficiencies. To evaluate the approach, performance estimation of a solar collector using the efficiency equation with uncertainties is compared to the result using the conventional efficiency equation by a simulated way for a case in one of previous studies.
