중요부하를 가지고 있는 계통연계 인버터는 계통과의 연결이 끊길 경우 중요부하에 안정적인 전압공급을 위하여 끊김 없는 모드전환 동작이 요구된다. 기존 인버터는 계통연계 시 전류제어모드, 독립운전 시에는 전압제어모드로 운전을 한다. 그래서 모드전환 시 제어기절체로 인한 출력전압에 심각한 과도상태가 발생할 수 있으며 단독운전 검출 전에도 불안정한 전압을 부하에 공급하게 되어 중요부하에 큰 손상을 입힐 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 LCL필터 뿐만 아니라 LC필터 구조에서도 적용이 가능하며, 양방향 운전 시 자율적인 모드전환이 가능한 계통연계 인버터의 모드전환 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 5kW 시작품을 제작하여 타당성을 검증하였다.

본 논문은 3상 계통 연계형 인버터의 seamless transfer 를 위한 비례공진 제어기를 활용한 간접 전류 제어 기반의 모드 절환 기법에 대해 다루고 있다. 분산 발전 기반의 인버터는 계통 연계 모드와 독립 운전 모드에서 각각 전류원과 전압원으로서 정의된다. 이런 이유로 계통 연계형 인버터는 두 모드 영역에서 고품질의 전력을 공급하기 위한 신뢰할 만한 제어기를 필요로 한다. 따라서 기존에 두 모드 모두에서 사용 가능한 PR 제어 기반의 간접 전류 제어기가 제안되었다. 하지만 추가적으로 분산 발전 기반의 인버터 전원 공급의 신뢰성은 각 모드의 절환시에도 마찬가지로 유지되어야 할 필요성을 가진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 독립운전에서 계통 연계 모드로 절환 시 필요 되어지는 PLL 모드에서의 PR 제어 기반의 모드 절환 기법에 대하여 제안한다. 최종적으로 인버터의 정상상태뿐만 아니라 과도 상태에서 지역적 부하와 계통 모두에 신뢰할 만한 전력을 공급하기위해 제안된 PR 제어 기반의 모드절환방식은 PSIM 시뮬레이션을 통해 seamless transfer 를 구현할 수 있음이 입증되었다.

A preliminary study of the behavior of ultrasonic guided wave mode in a pipe using a comb transducer for maintenance inspection of power plant facilities has been verified experimentally. The mode identification has been carried out in a pipe using the time-frequency analysis methods such as the wavelet transform(WT) and the short time Fourier transform (STFT), compared with theoretically calculated group velocity dispersion curves for longitudinal and flexural modes. The results are in good agreement with analytical predictions and show the effectiveness of using the time-frequency analysis method to identify the individual modes. It was found out that the longitudinal mode(0,1) is less affected by mode conversion compared with the other modes. Therefore, L(0,1) is selected as an optimal mode for the evaluation of the surface defect in a pipe.

In this study, experimental vibration tests are performed on a real full-scale railway steel plate girder bridge, which resides in open-space environments. Using experimental modal analysis techniques, the modal parameters of the railway steel plate girder bridge yielded by the modal testing of the impact hammer are compared and investigated with the natural frequencies and mode shapes obtained by finite element analysis. This work focuses on the application of model updating techniques to measured experimental data and output-only data from an analytical vibration study that takes into account various geometric and material properties of the bridge members. A finite element model of the railway bridge structure is used to verify the modal experimental results. It is subsequently updated using the corresponding modal identification technique. The basic database is provided to evaluate damage, which can be determined based on the changes in the element properties, resulting from the process of updating the finite element model benchmark and experimental data.

Nonlinear pushover analysis is used to evaluate the earthquake response of building structures. To accurately predict the inelastic response of a structure, the prescribed story load profile should be able to describe the earthquake force profile which actually occurs during the time-history response of the structure. In the present study, a new modal combination method was developed to predict the earthquake load profiles of building structures. In the proposed method, multiple story load profiles are predicted by combining the modal spectrum responses multiplied by the modal combination factors. Parametric studies were performed far moment-resisting frames and walls. Based on the results. the modal combination factors were determined according to the hierarchy of each mode affecting the dynamic responses of structures. The proposed modal combination method was applied to prototype buildings with and without vertical irregularity. The results showed that the proposed method predicts the actual story load profiles which occur during the time-history responses of the structures.

The fundamental frequency maximization of beam structures is carried out by using strain energy based topology optimization technique. It mainly uses the modal strain energy distributions induced by the mode shapes of the structures. The modal strain energy to be minimized is employed as the objective function and the initial volume of structures is adopted as the constraint function. The resizing algorithm devised from the optimality criteria method is used to update the hole size of the cell existing in each finite element. The beams with three different boundary conditions are used to investigate the optimum topologies against natural mode shapes. From numerical test, it is found to be that the optimum topologies of the beams produced by the adopted technique have hugh increases in some values of natural frequencies and especially the technique is very effective to maximize the fundamental frequency of the structures.

Accurate modal identification analysis is required to reasonably perform a seismic qualification of safety-related electric equipment installed in nuclear power plants (NPPs). This study evaluates a variation of the modal properties of an electric equipment cabinet structure in NPPs according to the excitation levels. For the study, an actual electric equipment cabinet was selected as a specimen and was dynamically tested by using a portable exciter in accordance with the level of input vibration energy. Tests were classified into two sets: with-door cases, and without-door cases. Frequency response functions were computed from the signals of the acceleration responses and input motions measured from the vibration tests. A polynomial curve fitting algorithm was used to extract the modal properties from the frequency response functions. This study reviews the variation of the modal properties according to the variation of the excitation levels. The results of the study show that the modal frequencies and the modal dampings of the object specimen varies nonlinearly according to the excitation level of the test motion. Attaching the door increases the modal damping of the cabinet.

In practical applications of guided wave techniques, it is very important but also difficult to identify the propagating modes, and it is preferred to generate and detect a single or less dispersive mode. Also the noncontact method is required in the automated field application. So this paper considers a non-contact guided wave technique with enhanced mode-selectivity, where a laser beam illuminated through arrayed line slits is used as the transmitter and the air-coupled transducer is used as the receiver. The line arrayed laser illumination is a wavelength matching technique that ran generate only a few modes. The air-coupled transducer detects the leaky wave of the propagated guided wave, and by tuning its detection angle we ran detect the selected single mode. Experimental results for a 1mm thick aluminum plate proved the usefulness of the proposed method, and especially it was shown that this method was powerful in the generation and detection of the $a_0$ mode.

Packaging structures to block the propagation of higher­order modes in the shielded microstrip lines are designed. Packaging for microwave circuits is necessary, basically, to isolate and protect circuits from outside environments both physically and electrically. The drawback of packaging is the possibility of higher­order mode propagation, similar to waveguide modes, as the operating frequency increases. One of Possible choices for the higher­order mode suppression is to insert diaphragms to the housing structure. The shielding effects of diaphragms are analyzed using an FEM code. Several parameters such as dispersion, mode conversion, and higher­order mode transmission and reflection are analyzed. The effect of higher­order mode suppression is eminent as the depth or width of a diaphragm is increased in the air region of the microstrip line. It is shown that inductive diaphragm structure can lower ${S_21}$ for the second­order mode incidence by 30㏈, comparing with the conventional capacitive diaphragm structure. Packaging structure analyzed in this paper can be applied usefully to the design of the microwave system in a package such as transmit/receive modules.

진동하는 구조물의 음향 방사 예측에는 키르히호프-헬름홀쯔 적분 방정식에 근본을 둔 경계 요소 해석이 널리 사용된다. 이 경계 요소 해석은 익히 알고 있듯이 구조물의 동적 거동이 정량적으로 표현될 수 있는 경우는 매우 높은 정확도의 예측 결과를 제공한다. 그러나 실제 현상에서 접할 수 있는 복잡한 구조물의 음향 방사 예측에는 많은 변수들로 인해 예측의 정확도가 감소됨은 확실하다. 다른 방법으로는 실험을 통한 임의의 음장 예측 방법인 근음장 음향 홀로그래피(nearfield acoustical holography) 방법을 들 수 있다. 이 방법은 실제로 발생되는 음향 방사로부터 마이크로폰을 이용하여 홀로그램면의 음압 또는 속도를 측정하고 키르히호프-헬름홀쯔 적분 방정식에 적용하여 임의의 홀로그램면에 투사(mapping)시켜 음장을 예측하는 방법이다. 근음장 음향 홀로그래피는 탁월한 정확성을 갖고 있으나, 측정의 복잡성과 홀로그램면을 형성하기 위한 많은 이산점(절점)의 필요성 등의 단점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 또 다른 음장 예측 방법인 실험의 장점과 유한 요소 해석의 장정을 복합시킨 모드 확장 방법(modal expansion method)을 사용하여 단순 구조물인 평판의 진동에 의한 음장을 예측해 보았다. 모드 확장 방법은 구조물의 동적 거동은 모드의 선형 조합으로 표현될 수 있다는 것에 그 원리를 둔다. 본 논문은 단순 평판을 대상으로 유한 요소 해석으로 구한 모드 정보와 실험에 의해 얻은 입의 가진 주파수에 대한 진동 표면의 속도 분포를 조합하여 속도 경계 조건을 구성, 경계 요소 해석으로 음장 예측을 수행하였으며 모드 확장 방법을 사용함에 있어 고려해야할 몇 가지 사항에 대해 다루었다.
