Multiple thermal energy storage (TES) caverns can be used for storing thermal energy on a large scale and for a high-aspect-ratio heat storage design to provide good thermal performance. It may also be necessary to consider the use of multiple caverns with a reduced length when a single, long tunnel-shaped cavern is not suitable for connection to aboveground heat production and injection equipments. When using multiple TES caverns, the separation distance between the caverns is one of the significant factors that should be considered in the design of storage space, and the optimal separation distance should be determined based on a quantitative stability criterion. In this paper, we described a numerical approach for determining the optimal separation distance between multiple caverns for large-scale TES utilization. For reliable stability evaluation of multiple caverns, we employed a probabilistic method which can quantitatively take into account the uncertainty of input parameters by probability distributions, unlike conventional deterministic approaches. The present approach was applied to the design of a conceptual TES model to store hot water for district heating. The probabilistic stability results of this application demonstrated that the approach in our work can be effectively used as a decision-making tool to determine the optimal separation distance between multiple caverns. In addition, the probabilistic results were compared to those obtained through a deterministic analysis, and the comparison results suggested that care should taken in selecting the acceptable level of stability when using deterministic approaches.

Multiple emulsions, called multiphase emulsions, include water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) type and oil-in-water-in-oil (O/W/O) type emulsions. In cosmetic industry, they are used to stabilize active ingredients but the applicability of the multiple emulsions is limited because of low stability and difficulty of manufacturing. In this study, we investigated a two-step emulsification process for a W/O/W type emulsion. We also investigated the change of stability using different emulsifiers and oil polarity. The results suggested that polyglyceryl-10 stearate, as a main emulsifier, played an important role in the stability and the formation of the multiple emulsions.

A reliability analysis has been performed to investigate the systematic stability of multi-failure modes of rubble-mound breakwaters. The reliability functions of four different failure modes are established straightforwardly. AFDA(Approximate Full Distribution Approcah) reliability models for each failure modes are directly developed and satisfactorily calibrated through the comparison with CIAD's results. In the reliability analysis of single failure mode, the probabilities of failure are calculated and the influence coefficients of random variables in the failure modes are properly evaluated. Meanwhile, three different models such as uni-modal bounds, bimodal bounds, and PNET are applied to evaluate the probabilities of failure of multi-failure modes for rubble-mound breakwaters. It may be found that uni-modal bounds tend to overestimate the probability of failure of multi-failure modes. Therefore, for the systematic reliability analysis of multi-failure modes, it is recommended to use bi-modal bounds or PNET which consider the correlation between the failure modes for rubble-mound breakwaters. By introducing the reliability analysis of multi-failure modes, it could be possible to find out the additional probabilities of failure occurred by the multi-failure modes of a multi-component system such as rubble-mound breakwaters.

Conventional slope stability analysis is focused on calculating minimum factor of safety or maximum probability of failure. To minimize inherent uncertainty of soil properties and analytical model and to reflect various analytical models and its failure shape in slope stability analysis, slope stability analysis method considering simultaneous failure probability for multi failure mode was proposed. Linear programming recently introduced in system reliability analysis was used for calculation of simultaneous failure probability. System reliability analysis for various analytical models could be executed by this method. Optimum design to determine angle of a simple slope is executed for multi failure mode using linear programming. Because of complex consideration for various failure shapes and modes, it is possible to secure advanced safety by using simultaneous failure probability.

In this paper, implementation of active mufflers using multiple channel adaptive IIR filter is presented. Usually, recursive LMS(RLMS) algorithms for adaptive IIR filters are highly efficient than filtered-X LMS(FXLMS) algorithms, when the order of both algorithms are the same. However, RLMS algorithms usually diverge before the algorithms arenot yet converged. So, the prefilters are presented to improve the stability by pulling the poles of feedback control transfer function in the beginning of active noise control and returning the original poles after the filters converge. The engine noises of diesel engine automobiles and gasoline engine automobiles are analyzed and the mathematical model of an active muffler is derived. Computer simulations and experiments are performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed systems.

The mobility of nodes are different in wireless ad hoc networks. Routes have to be refreshed frequently due to the mobility of the nodes acting as routers. Path consists of a few highly mobile nodes should be avoided to forward packets, because even only one highly mobile node may result in the break of path. We develop a mobility aware method to evaluate path stability for multipath routing in wireless Ad Hoc networks. Specifically, we extend it to a well-studied multipath routing protocol known as ad hoc on-demand multipath distance vector (AOMDV). The resulting protocol is referred to as path stability evaluation (PSE). Performance comparison of AOMDV with PSE are studied through ns-2. Simulation shows that PSE has optimistic results in performance metrics such as packet delivery, end-to-end delay, routing overhead and throughput.

본 논문에서는 모바일 노드들의 움직임이 심한 MANET 환경에서의 데이터의 전송을 안정적이고 신뢰성있게 하기 위한 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 우회경로가 적은 경우보다 우회경로가 많이 확보되었을 때 상호간의 통신이 더욱 안정적이나, 기존 연구에서는 이러한 고려가 충분히 되어있지 않고, 경로 설정 당시 알고리즘에 의해 최적화된 경로라고 판단된 경로만 기억해 놓기때문에 경로 손실이 되었을 때에 우회경로가 존재 함에도 불구하고 패킷 전송을 실패하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 확률에 기반한 안정도를 측정하고 MANET 환경에서 패킷전달 가능성이 높은 다중경로 라우팅 프로토콜 아이디어를 제시한다.

비성형 동력학계로 모델링된 부유수송체의 동적응답을 조사하고 그 운동의 안정성을 해석하였다. 종동요 모우드의 고유주파수가 횡동요 모우드의 고유주파수의 두배가 되는, 즉, 2:1 내부공진 혹은 자기계수공진인 조건하에서, 이부유수송체는 한 운동 모우드의 직접가진에 의해 간접가진된 다른 모우드가 대진폭 응답을 보일 수 있음을 밝혔다. 또항, 종동요 모우드의 감쇠력은 비교적 넓은 범위의 운동에 대해 선형적임에 반해, 횡동요 모우드의 감쇠력은 점성의 영향이 대단히 커서 비선형성이 대단히 강한 것으로 알려져 왔다. 이 문제를 수학적으로 모델링하기 위하여, 종동요 모우드의 운동방정식에는 선형및 제곱형의 합의 형태인 감쇠력 모형을 사용하였다. 다중척도법을 사용하여 이 두가지 운동 모우드의 주기적 응답및 그의 안정성에 미치는 제곱형 비선형 횡동요 감쇠력의 영향을 밝혔다. 조우주기가 횡동요 모우드의 고유주기와 근사한 경우에 대하여 이 비선형계의 응답을 구하고 주파수-응답 곡선으로 나타내었다.

This paper proposes fuzzy disturbance observer based multiple sliding surface control scheme for nonlinear systems with mismatched disturbance. In order to stabilize nonlinear systems with mismatched disturbance, a controller based on multiple sliding surface control scheme is designed. In addition, a fuzzy disturbance observer is used to estimate the disturbance. Using the fuzzy disturbance observer, "explosion of terms" problem and chattering problem were solved. The stability of the proposed control scheme is analyzed by Lyapunov stability theory. For the verification, we apply the proposed method to numerical examples and compare its result with that of the applied nonlinear disturbance observer based sliding mode control.
