This paper presents a new approach for analyzing the microstructure of -reinforced aluminum matrix composites from digital images. Various samples of aluminum matrix composite were fabricated by hot pressing the powder mixtures with certain volume and size combinations of pure Al and SiC particles. Microstructures of the samples were analyzed by computer-based image processing methods. Since the conventional methods are not suitable for separating phases of such complex microstructures, some new algorithms have been developed for the improved recognition and characterization of the particles in the metal matrix composites.

교통량, 속도, 차종 등으로 대표되는 교통자료는 도로를 계획하고 설계하는데 있어 매우 중요한 기초자료로 활용된다. 교통자료를 기준으로 해당 도로의 장래 서비스수준을 예측하며, 신설 및 확장될 도로의 기하구조가 결정되기 때문이다. 1985년 이후부터 건설교통부에서는 일반국도에 대해서 수시 교통량 조사와 상시 교통량 조사를 병행하고 있다. 이러한 교통조사는 일반국도와 일반국도 또는 일반국도와 고속국도가 만나는 네트웍 상의 노드를 중심으로 교통조사 구간을 설정하고, 이들 교통조사 구간에 대해서 교통량 조사를 수행하고 있다. 이러한 교통조사구간 설정 방법은 주요 도로가 만나는 결절점 사이의 구간에서는 교통량 변화패턴이 유사하다는 것을 전제로 하고 있다. 최근 우회도로의 신설, 중앙분리대 설치 등의 도로 기하구조 및 교통 시설물의 설치로 인하여 기존 구간의 특성이 변화되었다. 따라서 전국 일반국도를 대상으로 교통조사 구간의 유사성을 평가하여 국도의 동질성 구간에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 유사성 평가를 위해서는 유전자 알고리즘을 적용한 모형을 구축하고, 모형의 적용을 통해 교통조사 구간을 정의하였다.

This paper investigated the optimum design of truss structures based on Genetic Algorithms (GA's). With GA's characteristic of running side by side, the overall optimization and feasible operation, the optimum design model of truss structures was established. Elite models were used to assure that the best units of the previous generation had access to the evolution of current generation. Using of non-uniformity mutation brought the obvious mutation at earlier stage and stable mutation in the later stage; this benefited the convergence of units to the best result. In addition, to avoid GA's drawback of converging to local optimization easily, by the limit value of each variable was changed respectively and the genetic operation was performed two times, so the program could work more efficiently and obtained more precise results. Finally, by simulating evolution process of nature biology of a kind self-organize, self-organize, artificial intelligence, this paper established continuous structural optimization model for ten bars cantilever truss, and obtained satisfactory result of optimum design. This paper further explained that structural optimization is practicable with GA's, and provided the theoretic basis for the GA's optimum design of structural engineering.

In designing and operating cellular networks, it is assumed that the area of coverage is geographically divided into hexagonal cells. Among these cells, a certain number of cells are chosen to install switches that serve as relays for communications between any pair of cells. Then, each cell is assigned to a switch to complete the cellular network. This decision regarding assignment of cells to switches is known as a CSA (Cell-to-Switch Assignment) problem. Since this problem is so-called NP hard problem, many researches have proposed heuristic-based algorithms to provide near-optimal solutions with a reasonable computation time. Considering these characteristics of the CSA problem, this work develops a genetic algorithm and a local search algorithm. Throu호out a number of experiments, the performance of the proposed algorithms are evaluated, and compared with existing heuristic method

This study is on the development of energy dissipation control algorithms for vibration control of a 76 -story building under wind excitation. Velocity feedback, bang-bang, and energy gain control algorithms are proposed based on the Lyapunov stability theory and the performance of them are evaluated and compared. Saturation problem is considered in the design of velocity feedback and energy gain control algorithms, and chattering problem in bang-bang control is solved by using boundary layer. Numerical results show that the proposed control algorithms can dissipate the structural energy induced by wind loads, and thus they provide good control performance.

Parallel Genetic Algorithms partition the whole population into several sub-populations and search the optimal solution by exchanging the information each others periodically. Distributed Genetic Algorithm, one of Parallel Genetic Algorithms, divides a large population into several sub-populations and executes the traditional Genetic Algorithm on each sub-population independently. And periodically promising individuals selected from sub-populations are migrated by following the migration interval and migration rate to different sub-populations. In this paper, for the Travelling Salesman Problems, we analyze and compare with Distributed Genetic Algorithms using different Genetic Algorithms and using same Genetic Algorithms on each separated sub-population The simulation result shows that using different Genetic Algorithms obtains better results than using same Genetic Algorithms in Distributed Genetic Algorithms. This results look like the property of rapidly searching the approximated optima and keeping the variety of solution make interaction in different Genetic Algorithms.

The objective of this study is the development of size discrete optimum design algorithm which is based on the GAs(genetic algorithms). The algorithm can perform size discrete optimum designs of space trusses. The developed algorithm was implemented in a computer program. For the optimum design, the objective function is the weight of space trusses and the constraints are limite state design codes(1998) and displacements. The basic search method for the optimum design is the GAs. The algorithm is known to be very efficient for the discrete optimization. This study solves the problem by introducing the GAs. The GAs consists of genetic process and evolutionary process. The genetic process selects the next design points based on the survivability of the current design points. The evolutionary process evaluates the survivability of the design points selected from the genetic process. In the genetic process of the simple GAs, there are three basic operators: reproduction, cross-over, and mutation operators. The efficiency and validity of the developed discrete optimum design algorithm was verified by applying GAs to optimum design examples.

성능지수는 제어 대상이 되는 구조물의 응답과 제어기의 성능에 관한 가중함수로 구성되어 있다. 따라서 가중함수의 설계에 따라 성능지수가 변화되며 제어 효율이 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 최적 능동제어 알고리듬의 일종인 시간 영역에서의 성능지수를 고려한 LQR기법과 LQG기법 및 주파수 영역에서의 성능지수를 고려한 H기법에 대하여 동일한 가중함수를 적용하여 제어 성능인 제어율과 제어력을 비교하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 그러나, LQG기법은 모든 상태 변수를 알아야 하는 LQR기법의 한계를 극복할 수 있으며 LQR기법과 동일 수준의 제어율과 제어력을 보이고 있고 출력 제어라는 장점을 고려하면 현실적인 기법이라고 말할 수 있다. 마지막으로 구조물 응답과 제어기의 주파수 특성을 고려하여 주파수 필터의 가중함수를 설계하는 H기법을 분석하였다. H기법은 제어력을 저주파수 영역에 집중시킬 수 있기 때문에 구조물 응답을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 방법으로 분석되었다.

This paper studies the structure and reliability of homogeneous s-coherent multistate system. We describe efficiency of inclusion-exclusion algorithm and pivotal decomposition algorithm for reliability calculation of 2-states system which developed in (Lee 1999) ［10］. We extend our method, applied in ［10］, to the case when components of the system are given multi-states. As an application, the high pressure injection system of a pressurized water reactor is modeled as a multistate system composed of homogeneous s-coherent multistate subsystems. And Several examples are illustrated.
