This study was carried out to examine the effect of the presence of non-structural walls in apartment buildings subjected to an earthquake. It was believed that the presence of non-structural walls, which has not been considered in the structural design process, was usually built together with structural walls and this led to significant damages to the apartment buildings in Pohang earthquake, 2017. In this study, a 22-story apartment building was selected and modeled to simulate the seismic behavior due to earthquakes. The story drift, performance point, and compressive strain in the walls were the main parameters to evaluate the seismic performance with the presence of non-structural walls.

A Beam String Structure (BSS) is a type of hybrid structures, which is composed of upper structural members, lower strings, and struts. Due to the advantages that the pre-tensioned strings elicit pre-caber of the upper structural members, the deflection can be greatly reduced without increasing the structural member size. In this study, a two-way beam string structure is proposed to endure bi-directional loading. The two-way beam string structure consists of two cable parts, namely, sagging and arch-shaped cables. A parametric study is presented aimed at proposing design guide lines of the two-way beam string structures. Numerical finite element analyses through the ABAQUS package were implemented to obtain their behaviors.

A tensegrity module structure is suitable type for spatial structures. Because the tensegrity is composed of set of discontinuous compressive elements (struts) floating within a net of continuous tensile elements (cables), the system can provide the basis for lightweight and strong. However, despite the advantages of tensegrities, design and fabrication of the systems have difficulty because of form-finding methods, pin-connection and the control of prestress. In this paper, the new pin-connection method was invented to make the tensegrity module. The production process and practical implementation of uniformly compressed the tensegrity structures by using a UTM are described. Experiments showed the mechanical response and failure aspects of the tensegrity system.

A hybrid mid-story seismic isolation system with a smart damper has been proposed to mitigate seismic responses of tall buildings. Based on previous research, a hybrid mid-story seismic isolation system can provide effective control performance for reduction of seismic responses of tall buildings. Structural design of the hybrid mid-story seismic isolation system is generally performed after completion of structural design of a building structure. This design concept is called as an iterative design which is a general design process for structures and control devices. In the iterative design process, optimal design solution for the structure and control system is changed at each design stage. To solve this problem, the integrated optimal design method for the hybrid mid-story seismic isolation system and building structure was proposed in this study. An existing building with mid-story isolation system, i.e. Shiodome Sumitomo Building, was selected as an example structure for more realistic study. The hybrid mid-story isolation system in this study was composed of MR (magnetorheological) dampers. The stiffnessess and damping coefficients of the example building, maximum capacity of MR damper, and stiffness of isolation bearing were simultaneously optimized. Multi-objective genetic optimization method was employed for the simultaneous optimization of the example structure and the mid-story seismic isolation system. The optimization results show that the simultaneous optimization method can provide better control performance than the passive mid-story isolation system with reduction of structural materials.

A seismic isolation system is one of the most effective control devices used for mitigating the structural responses due to earthquake loads. This system is generally used as a type of base isolation system for low- and mid-rise building structures. If the base isolation technique is applied to high-rise buildings, a lot of problems may be induced such as the movement of isolation bearings during severe wind loads, the stability problem of bearings under large compression forces. Therefore, a mid-story isolation system was proposed for seismic protection of high-rise buildings. Residence-commerce complex buildings in Korea have vertical irregularity because shear wall type and frame type structures are vertically connected. This problem can be also solved by the mid-story isolation system. An effective analytical method using super elements and substructures was proposed in this study. This method was used to investigate control performance of mid-story isolation system for residence-commerce complex buildings subjected to seismic loads. Based on numerical analyses, it was shown that the mid-story isolation system can effectively reduce seismic responses of residence-commerce complex tall buildings.

인공지능은 다양한 분야에서 사람을 대신하여 성과를 보여준다. 게임 분야에서도 인공지능은 다양한 방면으로 사용된다. NPC(Non Player Character) 제작, 게임 난이도, 콘텐츠 생성 등의 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 그러나 게임에서 사용되는 인공지능은 우수한 성과를 보여주며 사람을 이기기 위해 연구된다. 우수한 인공지능 모델이 게임에 존재하여 게임의 난이도가 상승하게 되면 플레이어가 게임에 흥미를 잃는 경우도 있다. 따라서 본 논문의 목적은 사람과의 대결이 아닌 사람을 서포트 하는 인공지능의 개발이다. 현재 모바일 시장의 게임에는 자동 사냥 시스템이 존재한다. 게임에서 이 시스템은 난수 방식을 사용하기 때문에 효율이 떨어진다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 병렬구조의 DNN 모델을 사용하여 효율적인 자동 사냥 시스템을 구축한다. 새로 구축한 모델과 기존에 사용하던 난수 방식의 모델을 게임을 통해 비교한다.

Modularization is an important benefit to overall project cost, such as construction period, manpower and logistics. In order to establish a successful modularization strategy, the optimum cost can be realized based on the Envelope Size which is allowed to be transferred to the plant site through analysis of each shape of the module. Through the analysis of the plant structure, the Envelope Size that can be transported on site in units of sizes suitable for maritime and onshore is provided, and finite element method is applied to the existing materials (A36, A572) and domestic materials (SS400, SM490, SWH400) and analyzed the results of the analysis to obtain domestic materials applicable to the plant structure frame.

This paper is concerned to develop a fluid pressure system for the control of artificial bladder urine discharge. The primary goal is to force the fluid into the space between the inner wall and the outer wall by using a pump in the artificial bladder having a double structure of inner and outer walls and to form the urine discharge pressure by the contraction of the bladder inner wall due to the movement of the fluid. The ANSYS_CFD analysis is used to confirm the delivery of fluid pressure in the artificial bladder model, and the ANSYS_FSI analysis is used to identify the deformation and internal pressure of the artificial bladder through the delivery of fluid pressure, and to identify the discharge of urine. As the design parameters of the modeling of the artificial bladder and the fluid flow field, the capacity of the flow field, and the pump pressure input value were selected.

The magnetic properties and electronic structures of the B20 crystal structure MnGe and MnSi were investigated using the density functional theory with local density approximation. The low symmetry of the B20 crystal structure plays a very important role to make electromagnetic characteristics of these materials. The important result of the calculations is that it can be observed the appearance of a pair of gaps in the density of states near the Fermi level in both compounds. These features are results from d-band splitting by the low symmetry of the crystal field from B20 crystal structure. It can be seen that there is half-metallic characteristics from the density of states in both compounds. The calculation shows that the value of magnetic moment of MnGe is 5 times bigger than that of MnSi even though they have same crystal structure. The electronic structures of paramagnetic case have a very narrow indirect gap just above the Fermi level in both compounds. These gaps acquire some significance in establishing the stability of the ferromagnetic states within the local density approximation. Calculation shows that the Mn 3d character dominates the density of states near the Fermi level in both materials.

TiO2-particles containing Co grains are fabricated via thermal hydrogenation and selective oxidation of Ti- Co alloy. For comparison, TiO2-Co composite powders are prepared by two kinds of methods which were the mechanical carbonization and oxidation process, and the conventional mixing process. The microstructural characteristics of the prepared composites are analyzed by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scattering electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. In addition, the composite powders are sintered at 800℃ by spark plasma sintering. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of the sintered samples prepared by thermal hydrogenation and mechanical carbonization are found to be higher than those of the samples prepared by the conventional mixing process. Moreover, the microstructures of sintered samples prepared by thermal hydrogenation and mechanical carbonization processes are found to be similar. The difference in the mechanical properties of sintered samples prepared by thermal hydrogenation and mechanical carbonization processes is attributed to the different sizes of metallic Co particles in the samples.

It was turned out by shrimp beam trawl monthly survey from March, 2015 to February, 2016 that different species composition and abundance of the fish assemblages in Sacheon Bay and coastal waters off Namhae, Korea were compared. As a result of monthly measured sea temperature and salinity of Sacheon Bay and coastal waters off Namhae, sea temperature of both areas was changed seasonally; however, differences in sea temperature occurred during certain periods depending on the region. Salinity was generally low in Sacheon Bay affected by fresh water, and both areas was low in summer and high in winter. A total of 73 species representing 37 families were collected in Sacheon Bay. The dominant fish species in terms of numbers and biomass were Liparis tanakae, 23,077 inds./km2, 332.1 kg/km2. A total of 91 fish species representing 49 families were collected in coastal waters off Namhae. The dominant fish species in terms of numbers were Leiognathus nuchalis, 139,683 inds./km2 and biomass were Chelidonichthys spinosus, 1,078.6 kg/km2. Analysis of dendrogram of the clustering showed that Sacheon Bay and coastal waters off Namhae were distinctive featured (global R = 0.691, p = 0.017). And except of summer season (July-October), there was a distinctive feature seasonally (global R = 0.844, p = 0.001). The fish species that appeared in common in both areas, where fish species caught in Sacheon Bay, an important inner bay,were smaller than those caught in coastal waters off Namhae appeared. It presented that Sacheon Bay plays a more important role in spawning and nursery ground for fisheries resource than coastal waters off Namhae, Korea.
