This paper details the analytical and experimental studies performed to propose a steel damper based on the flexural yielding mechanism. The damper is composed of a set of damping plates that are designed to yield in flexure. The comparison of experimental and finite element analysis results indicate that the analytical approach adopted in this study should be appropriate to perform sensitivity studies on the geometries of the damping plates. Although the damper is originally proposed to work based on the flexural mechanism, it is observed that the contribution of the tensile behavior of the damping plate could be considerable. As the thickness of the damping plate increases, the plastic energy due to the flexural yield increases. As the thickness of the damping plate decreases, the contribution of the tensile behavior increases, and the shape of the hysteresis loop distorts.

Equations have been derived for computing electromagnetic forces by using the Continuum Design Sensitivity Analysis based on the Continuum Mechanics and the Virtual Work Principle. The resultant expressions have similar terms relating to the Korteweg-Holmholz force density, Maxwell Stress Tensor and Magnetic Charge Method but numerical implementation of the proposed scheme leads to efficient calculation and improved accuracy. In addition, the method can be easily applied to computing the magnetic force distribution as well as the global force. Results show the aforementioned advantages in comparison with the conventional methods.

신경의 기본단위인 뉴런을 계층 구조형태로 연결하여 자극에 대한 각 뉴런의 신경전달 메카니즘을 분석하고 Na 이온의 값을 변형시켜 활성전위에 미치는 영향을 LINUX를 기초로 한 GENESIS를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 해 보았다. 뉴런은 미세한 자극뿐만 아니라 이온농도의 변화로 인한 매우 민감하게 반응함으로 신경의 활성전위와 인체를 구성하는 모든 세포에서의 이온농도의 중요성을 간과해서는 안 된다. 본 연구에서는 신경세포를 전기회로 적인 모텔을 기준으로 설계하였으며, 농도의 변화에 의해 활성전위 전달에 큰 변화를 일으켰다. 과대한 농도 변화는 신경에서의 과도한 활성전위와 매우 낮은 전위가 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 이로 인해 인체에 미치는 영향은 신체의 어느 부분이냐에 따라 다르겠지만 뇌에서의 열, 뇌 세포 손상, 근육마비, 심장마비 등의 이상 현상을 추정할 수 있을 것이다.

A method to investigate the design variable tolerance effects on the variances of the response, the characteristics, and the performance of a mechanical system is presented in this paper. The Monte-Carlo method has been conventionally employed to achieve such goals. However, the Monte-Carlo method has some serious drawbacks related to the computation time and the consistent solution convergence. To resolve the drawbacks of the method, a method employing sensitivity information is proposed. Sensitivity equations for a mechanical system are obtained analytically by differentiating the multi-body formulation with respect to a design variable. By using the chain rule along with the sensitivity information, the variances of the response, the characteristics, and the performance of a dynamic system can be calculated.

This paper addresses the method for the shape design sensitivity analysis of the buckling load in the continuous elastic body. The sensitivity formula for critical load is analytically derived and expressed in terms of shape variation, based on the continuum formulation of the stability problem. Though the buckling problem is more efficiently solved by the structural elements such as beam and shell, the elastic solids are considered in this paper because the solid elements can be used in general for any kind of structures whether they are thick or thin. The initial stress and buckling analysis is carried out by the commercial analysis code ANSYS. The sensitivity is computed by using the mathematical package MATLAB using the results of ANSYS. Several problems including straight and curved beams under compressive load, ring under pressure load, thin-walled section are chosen to illustrate the efficiency of the presented method.

Topology optimization methods are classified into two methods such as the density method and the homogenization method. Those methods need to consider relationships between the material property and the density of each element in a design domain, the relaxation of the design space, etc. However, it is hard to apply on some cases due to the complexity to compose the design objective and its sensitivity analysis. In this paper, a modified topology optimization is proposed to assist designers who do not have mathematical or theoretical background of the topology optimization. In this study, optimal topology of structures can be achieved by the sequential design of experiment (DOE) and the sensitivity analysis. We conducted the DOE with an orthogonal array and the sensitivity analysis of design variables to determine sensitive variables used for connectivity between elements. The modified topology optimization method has advantages such as freedom from penalizing intermediate values and easy application with basic DOE concept.

The purpose of this study is to investigate stability of a high speed train and to propose optimal design using sensitivity analysis of suspension design parameters. A form of equations of motion in tangent track and curve track is obtained based on each creep force. Tangent track and curve track equations include lateral, rolling and yawing motions of wheel sets, bogies, and carbodies. Three track cases have been chosen to stability assesment of a high speed train analysis. Sensitivity equations are set up by directly differentiating the equations of motion. This study def'.led Stability performance index of a high speed train in tangent track and curve track. The relative magnitude of the effect of suspension parameters on the critical speed is computed, and by adjusting these parameters, the increase of the critical speed is achieved.

This paper propose the implementation of robust fuzzy controller for controlling an active magnetic bearing (AMB) system with 6 degree of freedom (DOF). A basic model with 6 DOF rotor dynamics and electromagnetic force equations for conical magnetic bearings is proposed. The developed model has severe nonlinearity and uncertainty so that it is not easy to obtain the control objective. For solving this problem, we use the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model which is suitable for designing fuzzy controller. The control object in the AMB system enables the rotor to rotate without any phsical contact by using magnetic force. In this paper, we analyze the nonlinearity of the active magnetic bearing system by using fuzzy control algorithm and desing the robust control algorithm for solving the parameter variation. Simulation results for AMB are demonstrated to visualize the feasibility of the proposed method.

상수도시설 중 배수관망시설은 해당 지역의 영향을 민감하게 받는 시설이므로 설계시 해당시설의 특성을 충분히 고려해야 한다. 배수시설은 설치된 해당지역에 따라 그 특성이 매우 다르기 때문에, 설계지표 또한 해당 도시마다 다르게 설정될 수 있다. 도시의 규모가 크거나, 그 특성이 해당 구역에 따라 다른 경우에는 같은 도시의 경우라도 대상구역에 따라 다른 지표를 사용하는 경우도 있다. 따라서 이런 상수도관망의 설계 및 관리를 위해서는 장기간 현장여건에 맞는 관측자료를 통한 정밀한 수리분석이 요구되며 국내의 경우 일반적으로 Hazen-Williams 공식을 사용하고, 이때 관내면의 마찰손실계수 C는 유속계수라 한다. 이러한 유속계수는 상수관로의 물리적 특성을 나타내며 관로 내의 흐름해석, 펌프 및 관로의 설계, 최적 운영 방안, 통수능력 및 관 노후도 평가 등에 사용되거나 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소라 평가되고 있다. 또한 다수의 현장 관측 자료를 확보하여도 분기 구간과 펌프 및 밸브 등으로 인한 손실 등의 오차가 발생하므로 유속계수 산정 시 발생되는 많은 오차들을 줄여 보다 신뢰성 있는 유속계수를 산정해야 하고, 현장 관측 자료를 이용하여 유속계수를 산정하기 어려운 구간에 대해서는 관망해석 모델링을 통하여 결정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전주권 광역상수도의 계통 특성에 맞는 관로의 유속계수를 결정하기 위해 관리주체에서 기존에 설치한 수압계와 유량계 및 관망도를 이용하여 기초자료를 수집하고 Hazen-Williams 공식을 이용하여 유속계수를 산정하였다. 계산된 상수관로 유속계수는 전주시의 10개 계통에서 최소 107.06, 최대 145.02, 평균 127로 계산되었으며, 유속계수에 영향을 미치는 물리적 요소들의 관계를 파악하고자 상관성 분석 실행하였다. 그 결과 관경과 경과년수의 상관계수 R은 0.011 관경과 유속계수의 상관계수는 -0.009로 두변수간의 상관성이 거의 없고, 경과년수와 유속계수의 상관계수는 -0.776로 음의 상관성을 갖는 것으로 분석되었다. 이와 같이 제시한 유속계수는 해당 지역의 참고자료나 기준으로서 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며 비 대상 지역에서도 현장자료가 부족한 곳의 유속계수를 산정할 경우 보다 신뢰성 있게 유속계수를 산정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

This study aims to develop an analysis model using a commercial process simulator-ASPEN PLUS for an IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) system consisting a dry coal feeding, oxygen-blown entrained gasification process by Shell, a low temperature gas clean up process, a General Electric MS7001FA gas turbine, a three pressure, natural recirculation heat recovery steam generator, a regenerative, condensing steam turbine and a cryogenic air separation unit. The comparison between those results of this study and reference one done by other engineer at design conditions shows consistency which means the soundness of this model. The greater moisture contents in Illinois#6 coal causes decreasing gasifier temperature and the greater ash and sulfur content hurt system efficiency due to increased heat loss. As the results of sensitivity analysis using developed model for the parameters of gasifier operating pressure, steam/coal ratio and oxygen/coal ratio, the gasifier temperature increases while combustible gases (CO＋H2) decreases throughout the pressure going up. In the steam/coal ratio analysis, when the feeding steam increases the maximum combustible gas generation point moves to lower oxygen/coal ratio feeding condition. Finally, for the oxygen/coal ratio analysis, it shows oxygen/coal ratio 0.77 as a optimum operating condition at steam/coal feeding ratio 0.2.
