This paper investigates a PI control problem for the evaporator superheat, i.e., temperature difference between the two-phase region and the exit region of an evaporator, for multi-type air-conditioning/refrigeration system. Mathematical model describing the characteristics of compressor, condenser, evaporator, and electronic expansion valve are first derived. Then, two transfer function from the current input applied to an electronic expansion valve to the wall-temperatures of an evaporator tube at two-phase region and superheated region, respectively, are derived. The stability of the closed loop system with the PI controller designed it analyzed by using Nyquist stability criterion. Simulation results are provided.

A moored body in the sea is subjected to second-order wave forces as well as to linear oscillatory ones. The second-order farces contain slowly-varying components, of which the characteristic frequency can be as low as the natural frequency of horizontal motions of the moored body. As a consequence, the slowly-varying force can excite unexpectedly large horizontal excursion of the body, which may cause a serious damage on the mooring system. In design analysis of Turret-type mooring system which is one of the interesting mooring systems for a floating body. the slowly-varying drift forces and the transient motion of the system during weathervaning are very important. In this paper the slowly-varying drift forces were calculated by using the Quadratic Transfer Function with considering the second order free-wave contributions. Additionaly the transient surge motion of the moored body was simulated with including the roll of the time-memory effect. In this simulation the spring constant of the spread Turret mooring system is updated at every time step for considering the nonlinear effect.

Prime movers in engine rooms inherently are much affected by the adjustment of their governors for the steady state and transient properties, consequently requiring that marine engineers shall be well familiar with the way to manage governor dials for normal operation. The hydro-mechanical governors basically have different control characteristics and adjustment parameters of stability from digital governors. The former include compensation mechanism using dash pot while the control algorithm of the latter is usually based on the PID action. This study is for configuring a simulation module to let trainees practice how to adjust dials for stability on hydraulic governors in the view that the practice by real governors and engines is time consuming and high cost for operation. The governor module includes the adjusting points such as speed set, speed droop, needle valve and compensation pointer with engine module of $2^{nd}$ order coupled. The results of simulation showed satisfactory responses as a training tool for the adjustment of control parameters.

Ziegler-Nichols step tuning method is one method tuning in PID controller. Use step tuning method find a the first gain and did experiment in steering mobile robot. and Make a new the second gains from the first gains. After appling the second gain in PID controller, Where perform observe for convergence time and stabilization error. Experiments result the second gain are useful in real steering mobile robot system.

This paper shows the robust design results of an actuator, a kind of dynamic system. Variations in the components comprising the actuator cause uncertainties in the system's dynamic performance. Therefore, a probabilistic design method is applied to ensure robust actuator performance to component variation. A Simulink model for the actuator was built using transfer functions for the components. The dynamic responses of the actuator were evaluated using the Simulink model. Performance indexes were approximated as quadratic functions of the design parameters through the application of the response surface methodology (RSM) with the Simulink model. Then, a probabilistic design method was applied to the approximated performance indexes to obtain optimal design parameters that would provide robust actuator performance. The optimal design was compared to the present design in terms of the performance indexes and dynamic response characteristics over time.

We have designed and constructed a scanner optics for thermal imaging system operating in 8 - 12 /lfll band. The scanner consists of rotating polygon and oscillating mirror for serial-parallel scan using 5 elements SPRITE HgCdTe. A spherical mirror is used for scan relay mirror to minimize size of the scan mirrors and pupil aberration. The scanner has $40^{\circ}\times26.67^{\circ}$ wide scan field of view and the calculated diffraction MTF shows diffraction limited performance. As a result we have obtained high resolution thermal image. image.

경간사이에 creep-coupler가 설치된 경부 고속철도 교량에 TGV-K 열차의 제동에 의한 교량의 종방향 동적거동을 해석하였다. 교량은 40m 길이의 2경간 연속교이며, 종방향 충격 하중을 인접 경간 혹은 교대로 전달하기 위한 목적으로 인접하고 있는 두 교량 사이의 creep-coupler가 설치되었다. 철도교의 경우에는 레일에 대한 종방향 축력검토가 매우 중요하므로, 이를 지지하고 있는 교량의 하부구조(교각과 기초)의영 향을 고려한 교량의 동적거동해석이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 TGV-K의 실제 제동하중에 의한 KHSR(Korea high speed railway)에 건설중인 실제교량의 동해석을 하부구조와 동특성치를 고려하여 수행하였다. TGV-K는 객차사이에 대차가 위치하므로 전체 열차의 모델링이 한꺼번에 이루어 져야한다. 동핵석을 위해서 열차의 3차원 수치모델링이 이루어졌다. TGV-K의 제동은 동력차의 전기적인 제동에 의한 회생제동력(regenerative braking force)과 객착의 기계적인 판제동(disk braking)으로 이루어진다. 이러한 제동작용의 고려에 실제 TGV-K의 제동함수가 사용되었다.

In recent years, there has been rapid progress in different areas of vision science, such as refractive surgical procedures, contact lenses and spectacles, and near vision. This progress requires a highly accurate modeling of optical performance of the human eyes in different accommodation states. A new novel model-eye was designed using the Navarro accommodation-dependent finite model eye. For each of the vergence distances, ocular wavefront error, accommodative response, and visual acuity were calculated. Using the new model eye ocular wavefront error, accommodation dative response, and visual acuity are calculated for six vergence stimuli, -0.17D, 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D and -5D. Also, $3^{rd}\;and\;4^{th}$ order aberrations, modulation transfer function, and visual acuity of the accommodation-dependent model eye were analyzed. These results are well-matched to anatomical, biometric, and optical realities. Our corrected accommodation-dependent model-eye may provide a more accurate way to evaluate optical transfer functions and optical performances of the human eye.

This study focuses on model identification and a 2-DOF PID control algorithm for cooling processes; a pneumatic butterfly-type control valve is used for this purpose. The mathematical model is a transfer function composed of a time delay and a second-order delay system. The control valve is identified as a first-order delay system with a time delay and included in the controlled plant. From the experimental data sets for a demo plant, the model parameters are identified, and the 2-DOF PID control gains are analytically derived by Kitamori's method. We show via a computer simulation and an experimental test that the performance of the proposed 2-DOF PID control system is better than that of a conventional 1-DOF PID control system.

In this paper, active noise control was performed to reduce radiated noise in the low frequency band of dishwashers. First, through an analysis of the noise environment of the dishwasher, it was confirmed that the pump noise contributed the most to the radiated noise in the low frequency band, From the result of the noise environment analysis, the reference signal was selected to be the vibration signal of the pump body. The reference signal was obtained by using the accelerometer on the pump body, which can prevent acoustic feedback. The error signal sensor was selected as a microphone located at 1 m in front of the dishwasher and 0.5 m in height. And to design the controller, the error signal and the reference signal were measured at the operational rpms of the dishwasher at 2,500 rpm, 2,600 rpm and 2,800 rpm, and the secondary path transfer function was measured. The designed controller was mounted on Digital Signal Processor (DSP) equipment, and the control performance was verified experimentally. As a result of the measurement at the 3 operational rpms, the 7th multiple component of pump operating frequency decreased by 1.93 dB, 4.43 dB, 5.15 dB per rpm, and the 12th multiple component decreased by 6.67 dB, 2.34 dB, 4.28 dB per rpm. And overall Sound Pressure Level (SPL) decreased by 0.84 dB, 2.58 dB, 1.48 dB by rpm.
