Numerical simulation for Resin Transfer Molding manufacturing process is attempted by using the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) combined with the level set method. XFEM allows to obtaining a good numerical precision of the pressure near the resin flow front, where its gradient is discontinuous. The enriched shape functions of XFEM are derived by using the level set values so as to correctly describe the interpolation with the resin flow front. In addition, the level set method is used to transport the resin flow front at each time step during the mold filling. The level set values are calculated by an implicit characteristic Galerkin FEM. The multi-frontal solver of IPSAP is adopted to solve the system. This work is validated by comparing the obtained results with analytic solutions. Moreover, a localization method of XFEM and level set method is proposed to increase the computing efficiency. The computation domain is reduced to the small region near the resin flow front. Therefore, the total computing time is strongly reduced by it. The efficiency test is made with a simple channel flow model. Several application examples are analyzed to demonstrate ability of this method.

A numerical model for solving advection-diffusion equation is presented by splitoperator method combining the Holly-Preissmann scheme with a fifth-degree interpolating polynomial for advection operator and the explicit scheme porposed by Hobson et al. for diffusion operator. To examine the developed model, the obtained numerical solutions are compared with both the analytic solution and those from the existing models for the instantaneous source (Gaussian hill) and the continuous source (advanced front) at upstream boundary with constant velocity and diffusivity condition. For the various cases having different Courant and Peclet numbers, it is shown that the present study provides stable solutions even for Courant numbers exceeding one. The result obtained by the present study also agree well with existing analytical solutions for both cases. The proposed explicit scheme somewhat releases the conventional restriction of explicit schemes for determining the time step size and provides satisfactory results for relatively large time step size.

In two-degree of freedom(TDOF) inertial sensors, two axes are mechanically correlated with each other. Fault source of one axis sensor may affect the other axis sensor, and therefore multiple fault detection and isolation(FDI) technique is required. Conventional FDI techniques using hardware redundancy need four TDOF inertial sensors for FDI. In this study, three TDOF inertial sensor redudancy case is considered, where conventional FDI technique can detect the fault, but cannot isolate the fault sensor. Hybrid FDI technique is proposed to solve this problem. Hybrid FDI technique utilizes the analytic redundancy by utilizing the unscented kalman filter as well as hardware redundancy for FDI. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed FDI technique, numerical simulations are performed using six degree of freedom nonlinear aircrft dynamics.

A numerical model for unsteady dispersion of horizontal line source in turbulent shear flow is developed. A fractional step finite difference method is used which splits the unsteady two-dimensional advective diffusion equation into the longitudinal advection and the vertical diffusion equations, and solves them alternately for half time intervals by the Holly-Preissmann scheme and the Crank-Nicholson scheme, respectively. The developed numerical model is verified using a semi-analytic solution for steady dispersion in turbulent shear flow. Dispersion of an instantaneous plane source in turbulent shear flow is analyzed using the model. The degree of mixing at the same dimensionless time is almost the same regardless of the friction factor, and the travel distance required to reach a certain degree of mixing is inversely proportional to the square root of the friction factor.

The performance evaluation of flexible manufacturing systems or cells at the stages of design and planning is one of important issues in manufacturing. For that reason, Guo has presented an approachbased on moment generating function and generalized stochastic PetriNets for performance analysis. In this paper, Buo's approach is extended tothe cases of flexible manufacturing cell including one machining center with a local buffer, AS/RS(Automatic Storage and Retrieval System), set-up station and AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle). Then the performance measures from this approach is compared with simulation. The major advantage ofthis method over existing performance evaluation methods is the ability to compute analytic solutions for performance measures.

The purpose of this study is to develop a new technique to quickly assess the quantitative stability of a tunnel by using measured displacement at the tunnel construction site. To achieve this purpose, in this study, a critical strain concept was introduced for the first time and applied to an assessment of a tunnel under construction. The new technique calculates numerically the strains of the surrounding ground by using displacements measured during tunnel excavation. The techniques considering the relative displacement, shotcrete, and anisotropic characteristics of ground were newly introduced after reinvestigating the existing analysis technique. In addition, an analysis module was developed based on the proposed analysis technique in this study, and the applicability of the developed module was verified. To verify the module, first of all, the calculated excavation displacements of a cylindrical tunnel by analytic method and commercial programs (Pentagon-3D, Flac-2D) were compared for the confirmation of applicability of commercial programs. Then, the calculated excavation displacements under the same initial condition, both with and without a shotcrete lining, by two commercial programs were compared. finally, we assess the load condition and material properties of in-situ ground by inputting tunnel excavation displacement, which was calculated by a commercial program, into the developed analysis module (FAST-Ver. 1.2, feedback Analysis System for Tunneling), and checked whether the assessed results conform to the originally assumed values.

This paper presents a vorticity-based numerical method for analyzing an incompressible Newtonian viscous flow around an impulsively started cylinder. The Navier-Stockes equations have a natural Helmholtz decomposition. The vorticity transport equation and the pressure equation are derived from this decoupled form. The associated boundary conditions are dynamic for the vorticity and pressure variables representing the coupling relation between them and the force balance on the wall. The various numerical treatments for solving the governing equations are introduced. According to Wu et al.(1994), the boundary conditions are decoupled, keeping the dynamic relation between vorticity and pressure. The vorticity transport equation is formulated by FVM and TVD(Total Variation Diminishing) scheme is used for the convection term. An integral approach similar to the panel method is used to obtain the velocity field for a given vorticity field and the pressure field, instead of the conventional differential approaches. In the numerical process, the structured grid is generated. The results are compared to existing numerical and analytic results for the validity of the present method.

In this paper, the harbor tranquility problem is analysed by an improved boundary integral equation method. The effect of the diffracted wave transformation induced by the breakwater and structures located at a harbor mouth is considered. Partial reflection concept is also used to consider energy dissipation effects. The present model is verified by comparing the results of the model for rectangular and semi-circular harbors with the analytic solutions. they show a reasonable agreement. Also the wave height distribution of the HUPO harbor computed using the present model agree well to those from the previous hydraulic model tests. It also shows a good agreement with the results from the time-dependent mild slope equation model.

The carrier phase measurements from GPS and GLONASS have different characteristics and therefore, have to be processed with different methods to provide precise positions or attitudes. In this contribution, at first, a measurement model is derived which can be used to not only GLONASS only applications but also both GPS and GLONASS applications. And then an error analysis of the proposed method performed using the derived model to derive analytic relationships between GDOP, PDOP and RGDOP. Finally, an integer ambiguity resolution method which was used in GPS is expanded to GPS and GLONASS. The proposed results can be directly applied to the design and analysis of GLONASS receiver and application programs. Furthermore, it is expected that the suggested method can also be effectively applied to combine the characteristically different measurements from the future satellite navigation systems such as GPS modernization, Galileo and QZSS.

The Clark unit hydrograph is a three parameter synthetic unit hydrograph procedure that can be used in flood hydrology. The present work is an attempt to estimate parameters of the Clark model in ungaged basin by means of relationships that provides for the hydrologic similarity. The time area concentration curve was determined by analytic method and the Clark model was generalized by being made dimensionless form. Calculation of the concentration time was made with the formula fractal concept used, and the storage coefficient was estimated by the empirical and regional equation. Evaluation on Dongok basin was performed to prove the validity of the proposed model. The derived hydrograph predicted the observed hydrograph fairly well.
