The sizes of the final blades of a low-pressure (LP) steam turbine have been getting larger for the development of high-capacity power plants. They are also larger than the other blades in the same system. As a result, fatigue damage is caused by a large centrifugal force and a low natural frequency of the blade. Recently, many failure cases have been reported due to repeated turbine startups and their prolonged use. In this study, the causes and mechanism of failure of a LP turbine blade were analyzed by using a finite element method to calculate the centrifugal force, the natural frequency of a stress-stiffening effect, and the harmonic response. It was observed that the expected fatigue damage position matched the real crack position at the airfoil's leading edge, and an equivalence fatigue limit approached a notch fatigue limit.

In this research, three-point bending tests were performed using a rectangular frozen specimen with various fine contents and notch offset distance from the center of the specimen to investigate the fracture characteristic of the frozen sand. Based on the test results, mode I fracture toughness was calculated, and mixed-mode (mode I + II) fracture characteristics were investigated using the fracture energy which was calculated until the maximum point of the load-displacement curve. As the fine contents increase, the peak load and mode I fracture toughness increase until 10% fine contents. Furthermore, as the notch offset distance increases, the fracture energy required for crack start also increases due to the increase in mode II load at the crack tip.

PMSM(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor)은 가공기, 로봇, 공장 자동화 등 현재까지도 산업 시스템 전반에 널리 쓰이고 있으며, 그에 대한 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 PMSM에 부하를 인가하거나 혹은 기계 몸체와의 결합 과정에서 기구부가 가지고 있는 고유진동 주파수에 의해 동력 전달 부분에 있어 기계계의 응답 특성은 불안정해지고, 떨림 현상이 발생된다. 본 논문에서는 PMSM을 이용한 회전 운동 시스템에서 출력되는 전류에 기구부가 가지고 있는 특정 영역의 고유진동 주파수를 제거한 전류를 적응 노치필터를 통해 내보낸다. 그 결과 기계부의 떨림 현상을 제거하고, 안정적인 제어 시스템을 제안한다. 이 제어알고리즘을 가상실험으로 필터 통과 전과 후의 결과를 비교 및 분석하도록 한다.

Crack widths play an important role in the serviceability limit state. When crack widths are controlled sufficiently, the reinforcement corrosion can be reduced using only existing concrete cover thickness due to low permeability in the region of finely distributed hair-cracks. Thus, the knowledge about the tensile crack opening is essential in designing more durable concrete structures. Therefore, numerous researches related to the topic have been performed. Nevertheless accurate measurement of a crack width is not a simple task due to several reasons such as unknown potential crack formation location and crack opening damaging strain gages. In order to overcome these difficulties and measure precise crack widths, a displacement measurement system was developed using digital image correlation. Accuracy calibration tests gave an average measurement error of 0.069 pixels and a standard deviation of 0.050 pixels. Direct tensile test was performed using ultra high performance concrete specimens. Crack widths at both notched and unnotched locations were measured and compared with clip-in gages at various loading steps to obtain crack opening profile. Tensile deformation characteristics of concrete were well visualized using displacement vectors and full-field displacement contour maps. The proposed technique made it possible to measure crack widths at arbitrary locations, which is difficult with conventional gages such as clip-in gages or displacement transducers.

In this paper a novel method improving the accuracy of DTMF tone reception in ARS system is proposed. ARS system should allow users to generate DTMF signals while it is sending voice guidance. It is not unocmmon, in this case, that a portion of transmitting voice signals cross-talks to the receiving channel and it often results in interfering with the receiving DTMF signals. Serious degradations including DTMF tone missing, false alarm and so forth have been introduced for the above reason. To overcome this phenomena, we have proposed a way eliminating the frequency spectra representing DTMF signals bands from the transmitting voice signal by using notch filters. This method also employs bandpass filters of which the frequency responses are reciprocal to those of the notch filters incorporated with the DTMF receiver. It is shown that a drastic improvement has been achieved with respect to the DTMF tone detection with little deterioration of voice guidance quality.

Experimental studies on the adaptive multi-mode vibration control of composite beams have been performed using neuro-controller. Neuro-controllers require too much computational burden, which blocks wide real-time applications of neuro-controllers. Therefore, in this paper, an adaptive notch filter is proposed to separate a vibration signal into each modal vibration signal. Two neuro-controllers with fewer weights are connected to the corresponding modal signals to generate proper modal control forces. The vibration controls using the adaptive notch filter and neuro-controllers have been performed for two specimens. A and B, which have different natural frequencies because of different positions of tip masses. Significant vibration reduction has been observed in both cases. The vibration control results show that the present neuro-controller has good adaptiveness under the system parameter variations.

Fatigue crack was detected from a temperature change around surface crack using the thermographic technique. Thermal gradient across the crack decreased very much due to thermal resistance of contact surface in the crack. Heat diffusion flow passing through the discontinuity was visualized in temperature by infrared camera to find and locate the crack. A fatigue crack specimen(SM-45C), which was prepared according to KS specification and notched in its center to initiate fatigue crack from the notch tip, was heated by halogen lamp at the end of one side to generate a heat diffusion flow in lateral direction. A abrupt jump in temperature across the fatigue crack was observed in thermographic image, by which the crack could be located and sized from temperature distribution.
