The mode superposition time history analysis method is commonly used in a seismic analysis. The maximum response in the time history analysis can be derived by combining the responses of individual modes. The residual mode response is the response of the modes which are not considered in the time history analysis. In this paper, the residual vector method to consider the residual mode response in the time history analysis is introduced and evaluated. Seismic analyses for a sample structure model and a reactor vessel model are performed to evaluate the residual vector method. The analysis results show that residual mode response is well calculated when the residual vector method is used. It is confirmed that the residual vector method is useful and acceptable to consider the residual mode response in a seismic analysis of the nuclear power plant equipment.

This paper presents high speed position controller using stepping motor. The proposed position controller has close loop and open loop mode. In the high speed region, torque angle which is controlled by PI controller and memory based look-up table, is used to keep the reference position. The memory based look-up table produces a torque angle according to motor speed, and the PI controller can compensate the torque angle error. So, the fast dynamic response can be expected in the same position error. The open loop control mode which is divided by 3-modes control the actual position in the low speed and small position error. Each open loop modes are designed to reduce position error and dynamic brake in the stop command. The proposed position control scheme is verified by the practical stepping motor.
