In this paper, the speed controller of permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) using the RBF neural (NN) disturbance observer is proposed. The suggested controller is designed using the input-output feedback linearization technique for the nominal model of PMSM and incorporates the RBF NN disturbance observer to compensate for the system uncertainties. Because the RBF NN disturbance observer which estimates the variation of a system parameter and a load torque is employed, the proposed algorithm is robust against the uncertainties of the system. Finally, the computer simulation is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A method and computer code for the uncertainty analysis in the top event unavailability are developed and tested by combining Monte Carlo Method and Moments method with fault tree reduction technique. Using system fault trees and unavailability data selected in WASH-1400, the efficiency of the proposed method is tested and these results are compared with those obtained by Monte Carlo method. It is shown that the results are sufficiently good in accuracy and computation time is considerably reduced compared with those by Monte Carlo method.

연안지역에서 해수침투대의 평가를 위하여 다양한 물리검층을 수행하였다. 특히, 해수침투대의 정량적인 평가에 활용될 수 있는 지층의 공극측정은 매우 어려운 문제중의 하나이다. 연안지역의 경우, 미고결지층에 대한 불교란 시료 채취가 어렵고 대부분의 관측정은 시추공 붕락방지를 위하여 내경 50mm 의 PVC 케이싱을 설치하는 경우가 많기 때문에 공극의 측정은 현실적으로 많은 어려움이 따른다. 본 연구에서는 전남 영광지역에서 각종 조사목적으로 굴착한 시추공에서 다양한 물리검층을 수행하여 공내수의 높은 전기전도도가 기원하는 지층을 확인하고자 하였다. 전자유도검층과 공극검층을 수행한 시추공(YK-4호공)에 대한 해석결과, 공내수의 높은 전기전도도는 물리검층법으로 추정한 사질층 공극수와 비슷한 범위를 보였다. 물리검층법으로 추정한 공극이나 높은 염수를 보이는 구간에 대한 해석결과는 보완해야할 많은 부분이 있지만 제한된 현장 상황에서 조사결과의 불화실성을 줄이는데 많은 기여를 할 것으로 기대된다.

서보시스템은 공작 기계, 자동화기계용 등의 제어에 사용되고 있는 대표적인 제어 시스템으로서 관성 디스크를 교환하기도 하며 전자가변 포화도와 히스테리시스등을 사용하여 고정밀 연구용에도 이용가능하다. 그러나 모델의 불확실성이나 외부외란이 필연적으로 존재할 수 밖에 없으므로 이를 분석하고 규명하여 원하는 목적의 제어를 위한 제어기를 설계해야만 할 것이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 제어대상 시스템의 불화실성을 극복할 수 있고 비선형항의 소거를 통한 선형화가 아닌 비선형 제어기의 설계를 가능하게 하는 Backstepping 제어기법을 사용하여 서보시스템의 정밀한 제어와 시스템 안정성을 보장하고자 한다. Backstepping 제어기를 설계하여 다양한 조건하에서의 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 제안하는 제어기의 최적 수행 능력을 보이고자 한다.

속도와 방향이 바뀔 때마다 이동체의 위치를 보고하는 TPR-tree는 이동체의 위치를 예측하는 오차가 적다. 그러나 긴 시간 간격으로 이동체의 위치를 보고하면 위치 예측의 불확실성이 높아져서 위치 예측의 오차값이 증가한다. 불화실성이 높은 이동체를 TPR-tree에 적용할 때 이동체의 위치 정보를 갱신하기 위한 색인 검색 비용이 증가하고, 질의 결과의 정확도가 낮아지는 문제가 발생한다. 이 논문에서는 긴 시간 간격으로 이동체 위치를 보고할 때 발생하는 이동체 위치의 불확실성을 고려하기 위해서 불확실성 영역(uncertainty region)을 이용한 확장 TPR-tree를 제시한다. 불확실성이 높은 이동체의 위치 데이터를 처리하기 위해서 이동체의 이동 가능한 영역을 위치 예측의 오차 값을 이용하여 계산한 불확실성 영역을 설정하고, 검색을 위하여 노드외 BR을 계산할 때 불확실성 영역을 이용하여 BR을 확장한다.

Generally, it is said that control of the inertia system is to track the reference input quickly while suppressing the vibration due to the system itself. In this case, the difficulty fur designing a controller is caused by modeling uncertainty and parameter variation. The purpose of this paper is to propose a design method to suppress the vibration of three-mass inertia system based on the LMI theory. That is, the generalized plant model by which we can cope with conservativeness of the existing H$_{*}$ theory is proposed and analyzed in terms of LMI. The results of simulation fur the three-mass inertia system show that the proposed design approach is quite effective under the given situations.

Sensory measurements are inevitably uncertain, and this may decrease the reliability of sensor feedback systems. In this paper we present a method to achieve reliable measurements using multiple sensors. Assuming sensors with unknown characteristics in dynamic surroundings, readings from the sensors are clustered and fused with the estimated degrees of credit. In the experiment performed with logical sensors the technique proposed is employed to adaptively estimate the measurand under the circumstances where an existing probabilistic technique is difficult to be applied. The technique proposed may be useful for automatic systems working in unstructured environments - for example, sensory robots employed for intelligent manipulation.

Many techniques of leak detection in pipeline systems have developed based on the propagation wave speeds and wave attenuation. In this paper, the transient analysis methodology is used for calculating the wave speed in the plastic pipe and a frequency analysis methodology is developed for leakage detection in water pipe networks. Data acquisition system for pressurized pipeline system were designed md fabricated to obtain high frequency pressure data. The methodology properly handles the unavoidable uncertainties in measurement and modeling error. Based on information from head pressure test data, it provides leak prediction capability from the transient events with leakage.

The computation model which evaluates combined hydraulic and mechanical reliability, is developed to analyze the integrated reliability in water distribution system. The hydraulic reliability is calculated by considering uncertain variables like water demand, hydraulic pressure, pipe roughness as random variables according to proper distribution type. The mechanical reliability is evaluated by analyzing the effect of pipe network with sequential failure of network components. The result of this study model applied to the real pipe network shows that this model can be used to simulate the uncertain factors effectively in real pipe network. Therefore, The pipe-line engineers can design and manage the network system with more quantitative reliability, through applying this model to reliable pipe network design and diagnosis of existing systems.

The probability of causation(PC) is the measure to ascertain the likelihood that a particular cancer may be attributed to a particular prior exposure to radiation. Since the PC is involved in several uncertainties, it is desirable to use the confidence limit for the PC, not a point estimate for determining whether to award compensation. We developed the program for estimating the PC to Korean radiation workers with cancer, the so-called RHRI-PEPC, which is based on the most reasonable model for radiation cancer risk and recent Korean baseline data. RHRI-PEPC gives us the upper confidence limit for the PC after adjusting several uncertainties and therefore we can assess more reasonably the causality of radiation exposure for cancer occurred in Korean radiation workers.
