본 논문에서는 균열 진전문제에 대하여 페리다이나믹스 이론을 이용하여 설계민감도 해석 및 구조 최적설계를 수행하였다. 페리다이나믹스는 해의 불연속성을 다루기 어려웠던 기존의 연속체 이론에 비해 균열 진전문제와 같은 불연속성을 가지는 문제를 자연스럽게 표현할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 최적설계를 진행하기 위하여 애조인 변수법으로 설계민감도를 유도하였다. 특히 균열이 진전되더라도 애조인 변수법으로 계산된 변위장과 변형에너지에 대한 설계민감도 값은 유한차분법과 비교하여 매우 정확하고 효율적임을 보였다. 이를 바탕으로 간단한 인장응력 하의 균열진전 문제에 대하여 균열의 분기가 발생하는 위치를 조절하기 위하여 정해진 시간구간에서 변형에너지 값을 줄이는 방향으로 최적설계를 수행하였다. 최적의 재료분포로 해석을 수행한 결과 균열의 분기점을 늦출수 있음을 확인하였다.

한국산 억새를 산, 알칼리 및 증기폭쇄법으로 전처리한 시료의 최적 효소당화조건을 탐색하고, 당화물을 이용한 에탄올 생산성을 구명하였다. 억새의 화학적 조성은 저분자화합물이 5.0%, lignin 17.0%, hemicellulose 55.1%, cellulose 22.7%이었다. 효소 당화율은 단용효소 처리구보다 혼용효소 처리구에서 높았다. Celluclast 처리구는 Viscozyme보다 높은 당화율을 보였으며, 가장 높은 당화율을 보인 효소 처리구는 EM-3(Celluclast 24.3FPU/g 기질+Viscozyme 80.6FBG/g 기질)로 약 70%의 당화율을 보였다. 산,알칼리 전처리를 통해 정제된 α-cellulose의 효소 당화율은 1% NaOH 처리 증기폭쇄재 보다 16% 높게 나타났다. 효소 cocktail의 당화에 가장 적합한 온도는 50℃였고, 모든 기질에서 효소 반응시간이 증가할수록 당화율이 증가하였다. 억새의 당화물은 오탄당으로 xylose가 육탄당으로 glucose가 주를 이루었다. S. cerevisiae KCCM 11215를 이용한 당화물의 에탄올 발효에서도 각 효소조합과 시료 전처리가 매우 중요한 것으로 나타났다. 억새시료 1kg 당 350g 이상의 에탄올 생산성을 보였으며, 1% NaOH 및 1% KOH를 처리한 증기폭쇄 시료보다 α-cellulose를 기질로 사용한 처리구에서 에탄올 생산성이 높았다.

This study aims to estimate optimal harvesting production, fishing efforts, and stock levels of yellow croaker caught by the offshore Stow Net and the offshore Gill Net fisheries using the current value Hamiltonian method and the surplus production model. As analyzing processes, firstly, this study uses the Gavaris general linear model to estimate standardized fishing efforts of yellow croaker caught by the above multiple fisheries. Secondly, this study applies the Clarke·Yoshimoto·Pooley(CY&P) model among the various exponential growth models to estimate intrinsic growth rate(r), environmental carrying capacity(K), and catchability coefficient(q) of yellow croaker which inhabits in offshore area of Korea. Thirdly, the study determines optimal harvesting production, fishing efforts, and stock levels of yellow croaker using the current value Hamiltonian method which is including average landing price of yellow croaker, average unit cost of fishing efforts, and social discount rate based on standard of the Korean Development Institute. Finally, this study tries sensitivity analysis to understand changes in optimal harvesting production, fishing efforts, and stock levels of yellow croaker caused by changes in economic and biological parameters. As results drawn by the current value Hamiltonian model, the optimal harvesting production, fishing efforts, and stock levels of yellow croaker caught by the multiple fisheries were estimated as 19,173 ton, 101,644 horse power, and 146,144 ton respectively. In addition, as results of sensitivity analysis, firstly, if the social discount rate and the average landing price of yellow croaker continuously increase, the optimal harvesting production of yellow croaker increases at decreasing rate and then finally slightly decreases due to decreases in stock levels of yellow croaker. Secondly, if the average unit cost of fishing efforts continuously increases, the optimal fishing efforts of the multiple fisheries decreases, but the optimal stock level of yellow croaker increases. The optimal harvest starts climbing and then continuously decreases due to increases in the average unit cost. Thirdly, when the intrinsic growth rate of yellow croaker increases, the optimal harvest, fishing efforts, and stock level all continuously increase. In conclusion, this study suggests that the optimal harvesting production and fishing efforts were much less than actual harvesting production(35,279 ton) and estimated standardized fishing efforts(175,512 horse power) in 2013. This result implies that yellow croaker has been overfished due to excessive fishing efforts. Efficient management and conservative policy on stock of yellow croaker need to be urgently implemented.

Zermelo's navigation problem is that the ship reaches a particular target point in the minimum-time when it travels with a constant speed in a region of strong currents and its heading angle is the control variable. Its approximate solution for the minimum-time control may be found using the calculus of variation. However, the accuracy of its approximate solution is low since the solution is based on graph or table form from a complicated nonlinear equations. To improve the accuracy, we use a neural network. Through the computer simulation study we have found that the proposed method is superior to the conventional ones.

PURPOSES : A study on the efforts to minimize the road traffic noise has been underway. An attempt has been made to measure the noise level using a noise map; however, the attempt is limited to certain areas only. In general, a noise barrier is employed to prevent road traffic noise; however, unplanned noise barriers developed without considering the surrounding environment, including excessively high walls, cause problems such as infringement on prospect right. Noise ceiling at daytime in Korea is 68 dB(A), which is relatively higher than in other countries. METHODS: The noise barrier used mainly for road noise reduction was analyzed to estimate the optimal height. Related variables such as road width, the height of the upper part, distance to the building, and angle (for instance, 30。). RESULTS : A formula to calculate the optical height of the noise barrier, considering the road environment (i.e., parameters such as road width and distance to building), was developed in this study in an attempt to mitigate the noise generated from the road. CONCLUSIONS : The formula to calculate the noise barrier is expected to lead to cost saving, accurate installation of barriers, and protection of the right of prospect.

This research carried out an analysis on input cost and leakage reduction effect by leakage reduction method, focusing on the project for establishing an optimal water pipe network management system in the Taebaek region, which has been executed annually since 2009. Based on the result, optimal cost-benefit analysis models for water distribution network rehabilitation project were developed using DEA(data envelopment analysis) and multiple regression analysis, which have been widely utilized for efficiency analysis in public and other projects. DEA and multiple regression analysis were carried out by applying 4 analytical methods involving different ratios and costs. The result showed that the models involving the analytical methods 2 and 4 were of low significance (which therefore were excluded), and only the models involving the analytical methods 1 and 3 were suitable. From the result it was judged that the leakage management method to be executed with the highest priority for the improvement of revenue water ratio was installation of pressure reduction valve, followed by replacement of water distribution pipe, replacement of water supply pipe, and then leakage detection and repair; and that the execution of leakage management methods in this order would be most economical. In addition, replacement of water meter was also shown to be necessary in case there were a large number of defective water meters.

Optimal design of the water supply pipe network aims to minimize construction cost while satisfying the required hydraulic constraints such as the minimum and maximum pressures, and velocity. Since considering one single design factor (i.e., cost) is very vulnerable for including future conditions and cannot satisfy operator’s needs, various design factors should be considered. Hence, this study presents three kinds of design factors (i.e., minimizing construction cost, maximizing reliability, and surplus head) to perform multi-objective optimization design. Harmony Search (HS) Algorithm is used as an optimization technique. As well-known benchmark networks, Hanoi network and Gyeonggi-do P city real world network are used to verify the applicability of the proposed model. In addition, the proposed multi-objective model is also applied to a real water distribution networks and the optimization results were statistically analyzed. The results of the optimal design for the benchmark and real networks indicated much better performance compared to those of existing designs and the other approach (i.e., Genetic Algorithm) in terms of cost and reliability, cost, and surplus head. As a result, this study is expected to contribute for the efficient design of water distribution networks.

Quality function deployment (QFD) is a useful method in product design and development to maximize customer satisfaction. In the QFD, the technical attributes (TAs) affecting the product performance are identified, and product performance is improved to optimize customer requirements (CRs). For product development, determining the optimal levels of TAs is crucial during QFD optimization. Many optimization methods have been proposed to obtain the optimal levels of TAs in QFD. In these studies, the levels of TAs are assumed to be continuous while they are often taken as discrete in real world application. Another assumption in QFD optimization is that the requirements of the heterogeneous customers can be generalized and hence only one house of quality (HoQ) is used to connect with CRs. However, customers often have various requirements and preferences on a product. Therefore, a product market can be partitioned into several market segments, each of which contains a number of customers with homogeneous preferences. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes an optimization approach to find the optimal set of TAs under multi-segment market. Dynamic Programming (DP) methodology is developed to maximize the overall customer satisfaction for the market considering the weights of importance of different segments. Finally, a case study is provided for illustrating the proposed optimization approach.

침버섯 자실체는 원기형성일로부터 exp{b2 * ln(t)2 + b1* ln(t)}의 생장곡선을 그리면서 성장하는 것으로 나타났으며 재배후 20일째에는 생장 임계선을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 생장 임계선이 20일째 나타나지만 재배 14일째부터는 다당류의 감소현상이 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 이로 인해 재배후 14~15일(자실체 생중량 150 g)째가 최적 수확시기로 사료된다. 이는 Choi et al. (2011)이 연구하여 발표하였던 침버섯의 균사 생장 패턴과 유사하며 배양시기별 기능성 단백질을 생산하는 양에 차이가 있는 것으로 사료된다. 하지만 Park et al. (2004)는 표고버섯에서 채취 시기별 영양소 차이가 존재하지 않지만 부위별 영양소 차이가 존재한다고 하였다. 침버섯은 시기별 생장하는 부위가 다르기에 시기에 따른 기능성 단백질 차이가 아닌 세부 부위별 유효성분 분포 차이로 본 연구와 같은 결과가 도출되었을 가능성도 배제할 수 없다고 사료된다. Myung-Hee et al. (2012)는 시판 되는 버섯의 부위 중 자실체에 주로 유효성분 이 분포한다고 하였다. 따라서 침버섯의 최적 수확시기는 버섯의 자실체에 해당하는 바늘의 생장이 거의 정지되는 시점이기에 성장 시기별 기능성 물질의 생산량의 차이인지 부위별 유효성분 분포 차이인지를 규명할 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

PURPOSES : The Toll Collection System (TCS) operated by the Korea Expressway Corporation provides accurate traffic counts between tollgates within the expressway network under the closed-type toll collection system. However, although origin-destination (OD) matrices for a travel demand model can be constructed using these traffic counts, these matrices cannot be directly applied because it is technically difficult to determine appropriate passenger car equivalent (PCE) values for the vehicle types used in TCS. Therefore, this study was initiated to systematically determine the appropriate PCE values of TCS vehicle types for the travel demand model. METHODS: To search for the appropriate PCE values of TCS vehicle types, a traffic demand model based on TCS-based OD matrices and the expressway network was developed. Using the traffic demand model and a genetic algorithm, the appropriate PCE values were optimized through an approach that minimizes errors between actual link counts and estimated link volumes. RESULTS : As a result of the optimization, the optimal PCE values of TCS vehicle types 1 and 5 were determined to be 1 and 3.7, respectively. Those of TCS vehicle types 2 through 4 are found in the manual for the preliminary feasibility study. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the given vehicle delay functions and network properties (i.e., speeds and capacities), the travel demand model with the optimized PCE values produced a MAPE value of 37.7%, RMSE value of 17124.14, and correlation coefficient of 0.9506. Conclusively, the optimized PCE values were revealed to produce estimates of expressway link volumes sufficiently close to actual link counts.

Find out how these parameters affect the RED performance. The further proposed a model of the ion exchange membrane to improve the performance on the basis of these studies RED. (No. 10047796)

역삼투법 해수담수화 기술은 에너지 소모 및 농축수 처리 문제로 인하여 기술 활용의 보급에 제한이 있는 실정이다. 해수·하수를 유도용액과 원수로써 사용하는 정·역삼투 융합공정은 별도의 유도용액이 필요하지 않으며 희석된 해수가 역삼투 공정의 원수로써 사용되기 때문에 일반적인 역삼투법 해수담수화 기술보다 낮은 압력에서 운전된다. 또한 역삼투 공정 후단에 정삼투 공정을 추가시킴으로써 농축수를 희석시킬 수 있으며 이로써 농축수 배출로 인한 문제점을 최소화 시킬 수 있다. 현재 국외에서는 Modern water, Porifera사 주도로 정삼투 모듈 개발 및 실용플랜트 개발이 이루어지고 있으며, 국내의 경우 FOHC 연구단에서 해당 공정의 기본 메커니즘 및 실용화에 관한 연구가 이루어지고 있다.

The expansion of the display market could mass-produce the product which becomes the super-slim and ultra-lighting according to the demand of customer. This change etched the mobile display panel in order to make the thin glass. The wet etching refers to the process of removing selectively the unnecessary part in order to form the circuit pattern among the semi-conductor or the LCD manufacturing process. The wet etching can progress the etching about a large amount at a time but the thickness of glass is not smooth or not etched according to the process condition. In this study, the defect factor in the etching process tries to be analyze. The experimental design was established and the processing condition was optimized in order to minimize under non-etch part generation by the experiment of design.

Dental brackets are widely used by the orthodontists to correct the misalignment of teeth in the mouth over a long period of time. In this study, finite element analysis of orthodontic bracket has been carried out for the observation of the stress distribution and deformation pattern in the different materials bracket (Stainless Steel, Ceramic, Titanium, Polycarbonate and Nitinol) when subjected to arch wire torsion and tipping force. The simulation results were further optimized with respect to bracket attachment surface. It was found that it is possible to know the change in result is correlated with the attachment surface of the stress and deformation due to change in diameter. The results confirmed that the finite element method has proved to be successful for proper design analysis for future development of the teeth bracket.

Structural system involves random conditions such as material property, geometric parameters and applied loads. This is caused by either measurement inaccuracy or system complexity and must be designed to withstand the uncertainties, Random structures may be modelled by using the finite element method using Monte Carlo simulation. It can be applied easily to any structural system with random parameters. The aim of this paper is to find the shape optimal design for the cantilever beam with random input variables to the height and response parameters to the displacement and stresses. The probabilistic design is carried out using ANSYS probabilistic design module in a commercial application software and then the optimal design is sequentially solved. An efficient and practical shape optimal design evaluation method is proposed for the design of the cantilever beam shape. The numerical results are obtained where total volume of the beam, stresses and displacements in the beam treated as constraints
