In this study, we perform the structural analysis of a floating offshore wind turbine tower by considering the dynamic response of the floating platform. A multibody system consisting of three blades, a hub, a nacelle, the platform, and the tower is used to model the floating wind turbine. The blades and the tower are modeled as flexible bodies using three-dimensional beam elements. The aerodynamic force on the blades is calculated by the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory with hub rotation. The hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, and mooring forces are considered for the platform. The structural dynamic responses of the tower are simulated by numerically solving the equations of motion. From the simulation results, the time history of the internal forces at the nodes, such as the bending moment and stress, are obtained. In conclusion, the internal forces are compared with those obtained from static analysis to assess the effects of wave loads on the structural stability of the tower.

Rail geometries such as cant, grade and curvature can be easily represented by means of a track coordinate system. In this analysis, in order to derive a dynamic and constraint equation of a wheelset, the track coordinate system is used as an intermediate stage. Dynamic and constraint equations of railway vehicle bodies except the wheelset are written in the Cartesian coordinate system as a conventional method. Therefore, whole dynamic equations of a railway vehicle are derived by combining wheelset dynamic equations and dynamic equations of railway vehicle bodies. Constraint equations and constraint Jacobians are newly derived for the track coordinate system. A process for numerical analysis is suggested for the derived dynamic and constraint equations of a railway vehicle. The proposed dynamic analysis of a railway vehicle is validated by comparison against results obtained from VI-RAIL analysis.

This paper deals with formulations of the energy equilibrium equation by an introduction of the algebraic description, quarternion, which meets conservations of system energy for the equation of motion. Then the equation is discretized to analyze the dynamits analysis of flexible multibody systems in such a way that the work done by the constrained force completely is eliminated. Meanwhile, Rodrigues parameters we used to express the finite rotation lot the proposed method. This method lot the initial essential step to a guarantee of developments of the 3D dynamical problem provides unconditionally stable conditions for the nonlinear problems through the numerical examples.

This work applies the equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation method to study a Lennard-Jones liquid thin film suspended in the vapor and calculates diffusion coefficients by Green-Kubo equation derived from Einstein relationship. As a preliminary test, the diffusion coefficients of the pure argon fluid are calculated by equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that the diffusion coefficients increase with decreasing the density and increasing the temperature. When both argon liquid and vapor phases are present, the effects of the system temperature on the diffusion coefficient are investigated. It can be seen that the diffusion coefficient significantly increases with the temperature of the system.

Adsorption equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of a brilliant green from aqueous solutions at various initial dye concentration (10~30 mg/L), contact time (1~24 h) and temperature (298~318 K) on zeolite were studied in a batch mode operation. The equilibrium adsorption values were analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich model. The results indicate that Langmuir and Freundlich model provides the best correlation of the experimental data. Base on the estimated values of Langmuir dimensionless separation factor ($R_L=0.041{\sim}0.057$) and Freundlich constant (1/n=0.30~0.47), this process could be employed as effective treatment method. calculated values of adsorption energy by Dubinin-Radushkevich model were 1.564~1.857 kJ/mol corresponding to physical adsorption. The adsorption kinetics of brilliant green were best described by the pseudo second-order rate model and followed by intraparticle diffusion model. Thermodynamic parameters such as activation energy, free energy, enthalpy and entropy were calculated to estimate nature of adsorption. negative Gibbs free energy (-10.3~-11.4 kJ/mol), positive enthalpy change (49.48 kJ/mol) and Arrehenius activation energy (27.05 kJ/mol) indicates that the adsorption is spontaneous, endothermic and physical adsorption process, respectively.

In this study, the computational structural dynamic modeling of floating offshore wind turbine system is presented using efficient equivalent modeling technique. Structural dynamic behaviors of the offshore floating platform with 5MW wind turbine system have been analyzed using computational multi-body dynamics based on the finite element method. The considered platform configuration of the present offshore wind turbine model is the typical spar-buoy type. Equivalent stiffness and damping properties of the floating platform were extracted from the results of the baseline model. Dynamic responses for the floating wind turbine models are presented and compared to investigate its structural dynamic characteristics. It is important shown that the results of the present equivalent modeling technique show good and reasonable agreements with those by the fully coupled analysis considering complex floating body dynamics.

This research paper describes design procedures and those verification with multi-body dynamic analysis and an experiment for the development of an unprecedented type of canister cover, named as the separating cover. In order to overcome drawbacks from the precious rupture type and actuator driven cover, the separating cover was suggested. It has the simplest structure composed of the previously developed explosive bolt and a spring-lever driven system. First of all, mechanical feasibility with proposed design parameters based on mathematical modeling was confirmed through dynamic analysis and then its results showed good agreement with the followed empirical results acquired from a high speed camera. On top of that, a parametric study was conducted to identify the effect of each design parameter on separating performance. It is highly expected that this research contributes to provide military industries with a brand new canister cover having simplicity and cost efficiency and thus it will be very useful in MLRS(Multiple Launch Rocket System).

It is difficult to predict derailment with the existing derailment coefficient like Nadal's formula which is based on the contact forces between one wheel and rail. A new derailment coefficient model developed on a wheelset is able to make a better estimate about the climb derailment, slip derailment, roll over derailment, and mixed derailment types of these. Moreover, not only the mechanical factors considered in the existing derailment coefficients but also other various factors affecting derailment such as wheel unloading and loading, diameter of wheel, and locations of axle-box bearings can be covered with this new derailment coefficient model. That is, the derailment patterns which couldn't be solved with the existing formulas such as Nadal's and Weinstock's models can be analyzed with this wheelset derailment coefficient model because of considering various factors causing derailment. Finally, the validity of the new derailment coefficient model is verified using dynamic model simulations.

In this study, a dynamics model was developed to predict the motion performance of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). The dynamics model includes basic dynamic state variables of the hull and force terms to determine the motion of the AUV. The affecting terms for the forces are hydrostatic force, added mass, hydrodynamic damping, lift and drag forces. The force terms can be calculated using analytical and Computational Fluid Dynamics methods. For the underwater motion simulation, a simple PD controller was used. Also, the AUV was tested in a water tank and near sea for the partial verification of the fluid drag force coefficients and way-point tracking motions.

본 논문에서 우리는 HIV-1 바이오 동역학모델의 퍼지 모델링 및 디지털 퍼지 제어 기법을 소개한다. 그것의 제어구조는 샘플링 점들에서 측정한 상태로부터 현재 상태를 대략적으로 예측하는 수치적 적분 구조를 사용한다. 제안된 지능형 디지털 재설계에서는 전역 상태-정합과 안정도 조건들을 동시적으로 만족하는 타당한 디지털 제어 이득들을 찾는 것이다. 우리는 보상된 블록-펄스 함수를 이용하여 새로운 전역 상태-정합 조건을 우선 제시하며 그리고 나서 안정도 조건들을 이 조건들에 추가한다. 유도된 조건들은 선형행렬 부등식으로 묘사되며, 그로인해 볼록 최적화 문제로 쉽게 해결될 수 있다. 또한, 안정도 조건으로 인한 성능 하강을 방지하기 위해 두 단계 지능형 디지털 재설계 과정이 제안된다. 첫 번째 단계에서는 전역 상태-정합만을 고려한 디지털 제어 이득을 찾는다. 두 번째 단계에서는 얻어진 디지털 제어하의 폐루프 시스템을 안정화 시키는 추가디지털 제어기를 설계한다.
