In this paper, we propose a switching control method for a class of 2nd order nonlinear systems with single input. The main idea is to switch the control law before the trajectory of the solution arrives at singular hyperplanes which are defined by the denominator of the control law. The proposed method can handle a class of nonlinear systems which is difficult to be stabilized by the existing methods such as feedback linearization, backstepping, control Lyapunov function, and sliding mode control.

This paper considered the prediction of the tension force in the design of a TLP tendon, particularly focusing on the springing problem. Springing is an important parameter that exerts a large tension in special cases. It is a nonlinear phenomenon and requires the 2nd-order wave loads to solve. In this paper, a new prediction method for springing and the resultant extreme tension on the tendon of a TLP is introduced. Using the 2nd-order response function computed using the commercial program WADAM, the probability density function of the 2nd-order tension is obtained from an eigenvalue analysis using a quadratic transfer function and sea spectra. A new method is then suggested to predict the extreme tension loads with respect to the number of occurrences. It is shown that the PDF suggested in this study properly predicts the extreme tension in comparison with the time histories of the 2nd-order tension. The expected tension force is larger than that from a linear analysis in the same time windows. This supports the use of the present method to predict the tension due to springing.

A three-dimensional time-domain calculation method is of crucial importance in prediction of the motions and wave loads of a ship advancing in a severe irregular sea. The exact solution of the free surface wave-ship interaction problem is very complicated because of the essentially nonlinear boundary conditions. In this paper, an approximate body nonlinear approach based on the three-dimensional time-domain forward-speed free-surface Green function has been presented. The Froude-Krylov force and the hydrostatic restoring force are calculated over the instantaneous wetted surface of the ship while the forces due to the radiation and scattering potentials over the mean wetted surface. The time-domain radiation and scattering potentials have been obtained from a time invariant kernel of integral equations for the potentials which are discretized according to the second-order boundary element method (Hong and Hong 2008). The diffraction impulse-response functions of the Wigley seakeeping model advancing in transient head waves at various Froude numbers have been presented. A simulation of coupled heave-pitch motion of a long rectangular barge advancing in regular head waves of large amplitude has been carried out. Comparisons between the linear and the approximate body nonlinear numerical results of motions and wave loads of the barge at a nonzero Froude number have been made.

A mobile robot should be designed to navigate with collision avoidance capability in the real world, coping with the changing environment flexibly. In this paper, a novel navigation method is proposed for fast moving mobile robots using limit-cycle characteristics of the 2nd-order nonlinear function. It can be applied to robots in dynamically changing environment such as the robot soccer. By adjusting the radius of the motion circle and the direction of the obstacle avoidance, the mobile robot can avoid the collision with obstacles and move to the destination point. To demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability, it is applied to the robot soccer. Simulations and real experiments ascertain the merits of the proposed method.

This paper proposes a switching control method applicable to any affine, 2nd order nonlinear system with single input. The key contribution is to develop a control design method which uses a piecewise continuous Lyapunov function non-increasing at every discontinuous point. The proposed design method requires no restrictions except full state availability. To obtain a non-increasing, piecewise continuous Lyapunov function, we change the sign of off-diagonal term s of the positive definite matrix composing the former Lyapunov function according to the sign of the Inter-connection term. And we use the solution of inequalities which guarantee each Lyapunov function is non-increasing at any discontinuous point.

강우로부터 유출현상은 고유적으로 비선형성이다. 더욱이 실제적으로 이와 같은 비선형성의 해석은 많은 어려움을 내포하고 있다. 또한, 부정류효과의 동적작용을 고려한 저류개념은 매개변수의 유역특성상 추정하기가 상당히 복잡하기 때문에 피해오고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 동적효과를 고려한 비선형의 저류함수에 대한 매개변수의 최적치를 얻고자 시도한다. 이를 위한 수치해법은 금강의 보청천유역의 관측치와 계산치의 오차를 최소로 하는 최소자승법에 의거 준선형화, Runge-Kutta 및 pattern-search 법들을 적용한다. 본 연구의 동적효과를 고려한 비선형 개념적모형의 적용성은 비선형성만을 고려한 저류함수모형 및 기존의 Nash 모형과 비교하여 검토하였다. 그 결과 2계모형이 l계모형보다 강우로부터 유출예측치를 보다 더 잘 재현하는 것을 알 수 있었으며, Nash 모형과는 대등함을 보여주었다. 여기서 획득된 매개변수들은 물리적 의미뿐만 아니라 본 모형의 국내 적용성도 제공한다.

비선형 함수로 모델링되는 동적 시스템의 비선형 파라미터를 결정하기 위하여 주파수 영역 볼테라 모델을 적용하는 연구를 수행하였다. 시간영역의 1차, 2차, 3차 전달함수에 해당하는 주파수 영역의 볼테라 핵함수를 비선형 파라미터 산정 과정에 3차 비선형 항까지 포함시켰다. Schetzen의 방법으로 시스템의 비선형 미분방정식에 적합한 볼테라 급수 표현식을 정하고, 이로부터 유도되는 비선형 전달함수를 입력 출력 관계식에 사용하였다. 관찰된 입력을 비선형 주파수 영역 모델에 대입하여 계산한 출력과 관찰된 출력의 차이로 오차를 정의한 후 오차를 최소화 시키는 시스템 파라미터의 값을 구하였다. 예제를 통하여 선형 주파수 구간 뿐만 아니라 2차 혹은 3차 비선형이 지배적인 주파수 범위 대에서 볼테라 모델이 충분한 정확성과 수렴성을 가지며 인식된 파라미터는 실제 값과 잘 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다.

PM3 semiempirical calculations ions have performed on the three aromatic heterocyclic polymers. The dipole moment (${\mu}$7), static 1st-orders(${\alpha}$), 2nd-order (${\beta}$), and 3rd-order polarizabilities(${\gamma}$) were investigated to study the nonlinear optical properties of the polythiophene, polyfuran, and polypyrrole systems. As a function of n, ${\alpha}$ and ${\gamma}$ increases much more rapidly for the polythiophene systems than for the polyfuran and Polypyrrole systems due to the pi-electron delocalization.

In industries, shipping is an important issue in improving the forecasting accuracy of sales. This paper introduces a hybrid method and plural methods are compared. Focusing the equation of exponential smoothing method (ESM) that is equivalent to (1, 1) order autoregressive-moving-average (ARMA) model equation, a new method of estimating the smoothing constant in ESM had been proposed previously by us which satisfies minimum variance of forecasting error. Generally, the smoothing constant is selected arbitrarily. However, this paper utilizes the above stated theoretical solution. Firstly, we make estimation of ARMA model parameter and then estimate the smoothing constant. Thus, theoretical solution is derived in a simple way and it may be utilized in various fields. Furthermore, combining the trend removing method with this method, we aim to improve forecasting accuracy. This method is executed in the following method. Trend removing by the combination of linear and 2nd order nonlinear function and 3rd order nonlinear function is executed to the original production data of two kinds of bread. Genetic algorithm is utilized to search the optimal weight for the weighting parameters of linear and nonlinear function. For comparison, the monthly trend is removed after that. Theoretical solution of smoothing constant of ESM is calculated for both of the monthly trend removing data and the non-monthly trend removing data. Then forecasting is executed on these data. The new method shows that it is useful for the time series that has various trend characteristics and has rather strong seasonal trend. The effectiveness of this method should be examined in various cases.

The optimal design code of an axial flow pump has been developed to determine geometric and fluid dynamic variables under hydrodynamic as well as mechanical design constraints. The design code includes the optimization of the complete radial distribution of the geometry by determining the coefficients of 2$^{nd}$ order polynomials to represent the three-dimensional geometry. The optimization problem has been formulated with a nonlinear multivariable objective function, maximizing the efficiency and stall margin, while minimizing the net positive suction head required. Calculation of the objective function is based on the mean streamline analysis and through-flow analysis using the present state-of-the-art model. The optimal solution is calculated using the penalty function method in which the genetic optimizer is employed. The optimized efficiency and design variables are presented in this paper as a function of non-dimensional specific speed in the range, 2$\leq$ $n_{s}$ $\leq$10. The results can be used in preliminary design of axial flow pumps.
