The mixed convolved action principle provides a new rigorous weak variational formalism for a broad range of initial boundary value problems in mathematical physics and mechanics in terms of mixed formulation, convolution, and fractional calculus. In this paper, its potential in the development of numerical methods for transient problems in various dynamical systems when adopting temporally second order approximation is investigated. For this, the classical single-degree-of-freedom linear elastic dynamical systems are primarily considered to investigate computational characteristics of the developed algorithms. For the undamped system, all the developed algorithms are symplectic with respect to the time step. For the damped system, they are shown to be accurate with good convergence characteristics.

The results of experimental, theoretical, and numerical analysis were compared regarding the concentrations and velocities of flammable gas jets generated by pressurized leakage of methane gas. The concentration was measured through experiments for the jet dispersion process, and the velocities was calculated by applying the self-similarity theory. And the velocities and concentrations were calculated using CFD tools - FLACS and CFX- compared with the results. The difference between self-similarity model and CFD is due to the buoyancy term, which increases as the distance from a leak source increases. The results are compared with dimensionless parameters using the leak source radius and velocity components along the leak axis.

This study introduces a developed artificial neural networks(ANN) model as a more efficient and reliable prediction model in operating speed Prediction with the 85th percentile horizontal curve of two-way rural highway in the aspect of evaluating highway design consistency. On the assumption that the speed is decided by highway geometry features, total 30 survey sites were selected. Data include currie radius, curve length, intersection angle, sight distance, lane width, and lane of those sites and were used as input layer data of the ANN. The optimized model structure was drawn by number of unit of hidden layer, learning coefficient, momentum coefficient, and change in learning frequency in multi-layer a ANN model. To verify learning Performance of ANN, 30 survey sites were selected while data in obtained from the 20 cites were used as learning data and those from the remaining 10 sites were used as predictive data. As a result of statistical verification, the model D of 4 types of ANN was evaluated as the most similar model to the actual operating speed value: R2 was 85% and %RMSE was 0.0204.

When a body enters waters, its original kinetic energy or momentum is distributed among the body and surrounding water in the form of added mass. Due to the transfer of the energy or momentum, the bode is subjected to the hydrodynamic impact forces and acceleration. This impact behavior can be an important criterion of submersible vehicle launched to the air. In this paper, based on Life-boat model, an approximate method is proposed for the evaluation of the forces and responses of cylindrical rigid bode by water entry impact. The impact forces are calculated by yon Karman's momentum theory and motion responses the body, especially acceleration, are calculated by a numerical integration of the motion equations derived by hydrodynamic force equilibrium. The proposed method is expected to be a simple but efficient tool lot the preliminary design or motion analysis of a body subjected to water entry impact.

현재까지 박막코팅 분야에 주로 이용해 오던 플라즈마 용융분사법을 이용하여 고밀도의 두꺼운 세라믹 침적물을 제조하였다. 용융점이 2910K인 ZrO2-20wt%Y2O3분말을 이용하여 최적조건에서 이론밀도의 약 97%의 침적물을 얻었다. 고밀도 침적에 영향을 미치는 변수는 챔버 내부압력, 플라즈마동력, 플라즈마 가스조성, 분사거리, 분말입자 크기 등이었으며, 침적밀도 및 침적된 splat의 형태는 분말의 용융정도 및 챔버 내부압력에 크게 좌우되었다. 높은 밀도으 침적물을 만들기 위해서는 분말을 완전히 용융시키는 것이 중요하며, 완전히 용융된 조건에서는 챔버 내부압력이 낮고 분말분사거리가 짧은 조건 즉, 분사되는 분말이 높은 모멘텀을 가질수록 침적물의 밀도가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 실험에서 얻어진 결과는 ANOVA 통계방법으로 분석하여 단일변수의 영향뿐만 아니라 이들 변수가 서로 조합하여 밀도에 미치는 영향도 분석하였다.

In this paper, the aerodynamic performance prediction of a 30kW counter-rotating (C/R) wind turbine system has been made by using the momentum theory as well as the two-dimensional quasi-steady strip theory with special care on the wake and the post-stall effects. In order to take into account the wake effects in the performance analysis, the wind tunnel test data obtained for a scaled blade are used. Both the axial and rotational inductions behind the auxiliary rotors are determined through the wake model. In addition, the optimum chord and twist distributions along the blades are obtained from the Glauert's optimum actuator disk model considering the Prandtl's tip loss effect. The performance results of the counter-rotating wind turbine system are compared with those of the conventional single rotor system and demonstrated the effectiveness of the counter-rotating wind turbine system.

A multi-level design optimization framework for aerodynamic design of rotary wing such as propeller and helicopter rotor blades is presented in this study. Strategy of the proposed framework is to enhance aerodynamic performance by sequentially applying the planform and sectional design optimization. In the first level of a planform design, we used a genetic algorithm and blade element momentum theory (BEMT) based on two-dimensional aerodynamic database to find optimal planform variables. After an initial planform design, local flow conditions of blade sections are analyzed using high-fidelity CFD methods. During the next level, a sectional design optimization is conducted using two dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis and a gradient based optimization algorithm. When optimal airfoil shape is determined at the several spanwise locations, a planform design is performed again. Through this iterative design process, not only an optimal flow condition but also an optimal shape of an EAV propeller blade is obtained. To validate the optimized propeller-blade design, it is tested in wind-tunnel facility with different flow conditions. An efficiency, which is slightly less than the expected improvement of 7% predicted by our proposed design framework but is still satisfactory to enhance the aerodynamic performance of EAV system.

This paper describes the time-domain numerical method for prediction of slamming loads on a ship in waves using the strip theory. The slamming loads was calculated considering the relative vertical velocity between the instantaneous ship motion and wave elevation. For applying the slamming force on a ship section, the momentum slamming theory and the empirical formula-based bottom slamming force were used corresponding to the vertical location of wetted body surface. Using the developed method, the vertical bending moments, relative vertical velocities, and impact forces of S175 containership were compared in the time series for various section locations and wave conditions.

In this paper, a method of designing the pitch control algorithm for the wind turbine generator system (WTGS) and results of nonlinear simulation are presented. For this, the WTGS is treated as a multibody system and the blade element and momentum theory are adopted to model the aerodynamic force and torque acting the rotor blades. For the purpose of controller design, the WTGS is approximated to 1 DOF system using the fact that the WTGS is eventually a constrained multibody system. Then a classical PID controller is designed and used to regulate the rotational speed of the generator. FORTRAN based nonlinear simulation program is written and used to evaluate the performance of the proposed controller at the various wind scenario and operational modes.
