Optimizing the design of large-scale electric machines based on nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) requires longer computation time than other applications of FEA, mainly due to the huge size of the machines. This paper addresses a new region decision method (RDM) with mesh adaptive direct search (MADS) for the optimal design of wind generators in order to reduce the computation time. The validity of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using Rastrigin and Goldstein-Price benchmark function. Moreover, the algorithm is employed for the optimal design of a 5.6MW interior permanent magnet synchronous generator to minimize the torque ripple. Additionally, mechanical stress analysis as well as electromagnetic field analysis have been implemented to prevent breakdown caused by large centrifugal forces of the modified design.

Theoretical analysis is performed on a multi-mode energy harvester design with focus on the first two vibration modes. Based on the analysis, a modification is proposed for designing a novel adaptive multi-mode energy harvester. The device comprises a simply supported beam with distributed mass and piezoelectric elements, and an adaptive damper that provides a 180 degree phase shift for the motions of two supports only at the second vibration mode. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show that the new design can efficiently scavenge energy at the first two vibration modes. The energy harvesting capability of the multi-mode energy harvester is also compared with that of a cantilever-based energy harvester for single-mode vibration. The results show that the energy harvesting capacity is affected by the damping ratios of different designs. For fixed damping ratio and design dimensions, the multi-mode design has higher energy harvesting capacity than the cantilever-based design.

본 논문에서는 고정 전송율 서비스 및 가변 전송율 서비스 호들이 동적으로 네트워크에 들어와서 데이터를 전송하고, 데이터를 모두 전송하면 네트워크에서 사라지는 동적인 다중 서비스 네트워크에서, 고정 전송율 및 가변 전송율 서비스의 요구 성능을 만족하기 위한 네트워크 스위치(링크)의 성능 분석 및 설계 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 동적인 다중 서비스 네트워크의 링크를 Harkov 체인을 이용해 모델하고, QBD (Quasi-Birth-Death) 프로세스와 행렬 방정식을 이용해 가변 전송율 서비스의 호들에 할당될 전송율의 성능을 구한다. 즉, 가변 전송율 서비스의 평균 호수를 추정하고 이를 바탕으로, 호당 평균 전송율 및 평균 전송 지연 시간을 구한다. 고정 전송율 서비스의 성능은 고정 전송율 서비스 호들의 차단 확률(blocking probability)로 구해진다. 이렇게 해서 구해진 고정 전송율 및 가변 전송율 서비스의 성능을 이용해서, 고정 전송율 및 가변 전송율 서비스 호들의 요구 성능(전송율, 전송 지연 시간, 호의 차단 확률 등)을 만족하기 위한 네트워크 링크의 용량을 설계하는 방법을 제안한다. 이러한 방법을 데이터 및 음성(비디오)을 동시에 지원하는 네트워크 스위치의 성능 분석 및 용량 설계에 이용할 수 있다.

In this paper, an adaptive predistortion scheme is proposed to compensate nonlinear distortions caused by high power amplifiers (HPA) in OFDM systems. A complex Wiener-Hammerstein model (WHM) is used to describe input-output relationship of HPA with linear dynamics. The predistorter is directly identified by complex power series model with memory, which is an approximate inverse of the HPA expressed by the WHM. The effectiveness of the proposed adaptive compensation scheme is validated by numerical simulation for 64QAM-OFDM systems.

The coast area of our country has various tourist attraction factors of its own such as plenty of islands, uncontaminated waters and so on. Nevertheless, sea tourism and leisure facilities have not been developed enough since the national tourist/leisure policies have mainly been focused on the land tourism so far. Recently, the lake and sea areas are becoming more an more popular to people for spending their leisure times, and they, especially the young generations, are eagerly searching for some good ocean spots to enjoy the dynamics maritime sports. In this paper, we worked on the first design phase of environmentally and visually adaptive yacht, taking the cost effectiveness and the safety factors into account as well.

In this paper, the adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) algorithm is employed to design a gain-enhanced antenna with a reflector for energy harvesting. We placed the reflector below the main radiating element. Its back-radiated field is reflected and added to the forward radiated field, which could increase the antenna gain. We adopt the adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) algorithm, which improves the speed of convergence with a high frequency solver. The result shows that performance of the optimized design successfully satisfied the design goal of the frequency band, gain and axial ratio.

For minimum phase systems, the conventional fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) use the error and the change-of-error as fuzzy input variables. Then the control rule table is a skew symmetric type, that is, it has UNLP (Upper Negative and Lower Positive) or UPLN property. This property allowed to design a single-input FLC (SFLC) that has many advantages. But its control parameters are not automatically adjusted to the situation of the controlled plant. That is, the adaptability is still deficient. We here design a single-input direct adaptive FLC (SDAFLC). In the AFLC, some parameters of the membership functions characterizing the linguistic terms of the fuzzy rules are adjusted by an adaptive law. The SDAFLC is designed by a stable error dynamics. We prove that its closed-loop system is globally stable in the sense that all signals involved are bounded and its tracking error converges to zero asymptotically. We perform computer simulations using a nonlinear plant and compare the control performance between the SFLC and the SDAFLC.

During the past two decades, a huge amount of research on adaptive control charts has been accomplished. Especially, variable sampling interval (VSI), variable sample size (VSS), and variable sample size and sampling interval (VSSI) charts have been focused by many researchers due to their simplicity and efficiency. On the other hand, the difference among notations, assumptions, methodologies may cause confusions in per forming further studies or practical implementations. This research analyses and compares diverse models so as to provide a unified view on statistical and economical characteristics. As a result, we perform comparative study on economical design models of VSI, VSS, and VSSI charts, respectively, We also present practical guidelines to utilize those adaptive control charts.

An adaptive formation control approach is proposed for nonhonolomic multiple mobile robots considering unknown slipping and skidding. It is assumed that unknown slipping and skidding effects are bounded by unknown constants. Under this assumption, the adaptive technique is employed to estimate the bounds of unknown slipping and skidding effects of each mobile robot. To deal with the skidding effect included in kinematics, the dynamic surface design approach is applied to design a local controller for each mobile robot. Using Lyapunov stability theorem, the adaptation laws for tuning bounds of slipping and skidding are induced and it is proved that all signals of the closed-loop system are bounded and the tracking errors and the synchronization errors of the path parameters converge to an adjustable neighborhood of the origin. Finally, simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
