This paper is concerned with the analysis of elasto-plastic stress waves in a mode I semi-infinite cracked solid subjected to Heaviside pulse load. This study adopts a time-discontinuous variational integrator based on Hamiltonian in order to reduce the numerical dispersive and dissipative errors. This also utilizes an integration scheme of the constitutive model with 2nd-order accuracy which is formulated on the strain space for a rate and temperature dependent material model. Finite element analyses of elasto-plastic stress waves are carried out in order to compare the accuracy between a conventional Galerkin method and the time- discontinuous variational integrator.

Light Rail Transit(LRT) is a large scale complex system which combines rolling stocks, power supply, signal communication, tracks & stations, and hundreds of billions of wons per project are spent for construction. Therefore efficient integration of sub-systems is very important. The systems engineering is a good method to reduce the cost and risk of LRT project. In this paper, we introduce a research plan on the application of systems engineering to LRT project. We, Korea Railroad Research Institute(KRRI), launched a research program with 4 companies, which is support by the governmen and project period is 4.5 years. Main research topic is to develop the technology for the application of systems engineering technical process to LRT project based on ISO/IEC 15288.

This paper presents a system-on-chip prototype implementing a full integration for a portable digital audio system. The chip is composed of a audio processor block to implements audio decoding and voice compression or decompression software, a system control block including 8-bit MCU core and Memory Management Unit (MMU) a low power 16-bit ${\Sigma}{\Delta}$ CODEC, two DC-to-BC converter, and a flash memory controller. In order to support other audio algorithms except Mask ROM type's fixed codes, a novel 16-bit fixed-point DSP core with the program-download architecture is proposed. Funker, an efficient power management technique such as task-based clock management is implemented to reduce power consumption for portable application. The proposed chip has been fabricated with a 4 metal 0.25um CMOS technology and the chip area is about 7.1 mm ${\times}$ 7.1mm with 100mW power dissipation at 2.5V power supply.

Monolithically integrated devices are strongly desired in next generation power ICs to reduce the chip size and improve the efficiency and frequency response. Three examples of the embedment of different functional diode(s) into AlGaN/GaN heterojunction field-effect transistors are presented, which can minimize the parasitic effects caused by interconnection between devices.

The present work is concerned with heat and mass transfer of an electrically conducting second grade MHD fluid past a semi-infinite stretching sheet with convective surface heat flux. The analysis accounts for thermophoresis and thermal radiation. A similarity transformations is used to reduce the governing equations into a dimensionless form. The local similarity equations are derived and solved using Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique together with Runge-Kutta sixth order integration scheme. Results for various flow characteristics are presented through graphs and tables delineating the effect of various parameters characterizing the flow. Our analysis explores that the rate of heat transfer enhances with increasing the values of the surface convection parameter. Also the fluid velocity and temperature in the boundary layer region rise significantly for increasing the values of thermal radiation parameter.

The power consumption of 3D many-core processors can be reduced, and the power delivery of such processors can be improved by introducing voltage island (VI) design using on-chip voltage regulators. With the dramatic growth in the number of cores that are integrated in a processor, however, it is infeasible to adopt per-core VI design. We propose a 3D many-core processor architecture that consists of multiple voltage clusters, where each has a set of cores that share an on-chip voltage regulator. Based on the architecture, the steady state temperature is analyzed so that the thermal characteristic of each voltage cluster is known. In the voltage scaling and task scheduling stages, the thermal characteristics and communication between cores is considered. The consideration of the thermal characteristics enables the proposed VI formation to reduce the total energy consumption, peak temperature, and temperature gradients in 3D many-core processors.

An Engineering Model(EM) of the Telemetry-Command Unit(TCU) for STSAT-2 was developed. The TCU of STSAT-2 has some improved features compared with that of STSAT-1. To reduce weight and size of TCU all logics are implemented in FPGA without CPU. EM I&T(Integration and Test) was successfully performed with no errors.

In recent years, design of an optimal blank shape is very important for sheet metal forming process in the automobile industry because the raw material cost rate is significant part in the automobile industry. With the design of an optimal blank shape, the engineer can protect a blank from an excessive holding force to improve the quality and reduce the ratio of material scrap. Therefore design of an optimal blank shape is inevitable in sheet metal forming process. However, if it causes a complicated shape of blank, it may be difficult to do the blank layout optimally. In this study, we developed software of optimal blank layout connected with the software of optimal blank shape design which was created in the past by the present authors. And by using these softwares, we would like to present the method in order to get optimal utilization ratio easily and precisely within short time for the sequence of works from design to blank layout.

The real time modeling of dynamic system on adaptive control system is very important for flying control system(FCS). Using traditional method, it is required much calculation load for integral/differential at control system. Therefore, It is very important theme of study in these days to find algorithms for integration/differential at FCS. These algorithms for integral/differential influence strongly stability/reliability to control flying object. In this paper, we present optimal predictive sampling time for reduce calculation load at FCS and optimal predictive time on general cost function by applying adaptive control method.

An early detection system for warranty issues periodically collects customers' claim data and automatically reports alarms about emerging issues based on statistical algorithms. It helps companies to reduce an issue definition time and save the handling cost of warranty claims. This paper provides an evaluation framework to validate the economic effect of an early detection system project. For this purpose, we present economical index of a project with explicit formulas such as ROI(return on investment), PP(payback period), NPV(net present value), PI(profitability index) and IRR(internal rate of return) and analyze the sensitivities of the index according to the variation of project input parameters. The proposed analysis framework is expected to be used for evaluating economic values of various system integration projects.
