An investigation has been made on the relationship between characteristics of torsional mode signal in MsS and SH mode signal in BEM modeling for the defect of stainless steel pipe. In order to compare torsional mode signal with SH mode signal of defect in stainless steel pipe, specimens were made by changing size of depth and width along to circumferential direction 360 degrees. All the defects was detected by torsional mode signal of MsS, especially according to the change of depth size, amplitude of signal was changed. But width change for the circumferential defects has no certain tendency. SH mode signal of BEM modeling shows similar results with torsional mode, with change makes amplitude variation of signal. In this paper, the characteristics of torsional mode and SH mode signals were found. It is possible to predict the circumferential defects for the pipe by SH mode modeling.

초음파를 이용하여 가축의 생체 상태에서 도체형질을 추정하기 위한 연구가 50년대부터 시작되었다. 초기에는 초음파 반사파를 진폭으로 표시하는 방식인 A-mode(Amplitude-mode)를 이용하여 가축의 등지방두께 및 등심두께를 측정하였으며, 60년대부터 반사파의 강약을 명암으로 나타내는 B-mode (Brightness-mode) 방식으로 두께 및 면적을 측정하였다. 일본에서는 70년대 후반부터 등심 내 지방교잡을 조사하기 위한 연구가 활발하게 진행되었으나 미국, 유럽 등에서는 최근에서야 비로소 marbling 추정을 위한 연구가 시도되고 있다. 우리나라에서는 90년대 초부터 한우의 경쟁력을 높이기 위하여 육질향상에 중점을 두고 종모우의 조기 선발과 적정한 출하시기 판정에 초음파를 적용시키기 위한 연구가 여러 연구기관 및 학계에서 시도되었으나 인체에서 임신진단용으로 이용되거나 외국의 육우에 사용하던 기종을 한우에 적용시킴으로서 육질능력을 판정하는데 기계의 정확도가 많이 떨어지고 있는 실정이다.

This paper presents the vibration mode, natural frequencies and amplitudes of the circular plate due to the changes of the boundary conditions by varying free arc angles. The vibration mode, amplitudes and natural frequencies of the circular plate are obtained by time-average holographic interferometry and laser doppler vibrometer. The vibration modes of the circular plate with the mixed boundary conditions are found from the 1st mode to the 4th mode. The curve shapes of the natural frequency ratios obtained from this study are in a good agreement with other results obtained by numerical analysis. The displacement curves obtained from time average holographic interferometry and laser doppler vibrometer agree well in case of large amplitude, but show a little difference in case of small amplitude.

This paper propose a new active common-mode voltage damper circuit that is capable of suppressing a common-mode voltage produced in the PWM VSI. The new active common mode voltage damper is consisted of a half-bridge inverter and a common mode transformer with a blocking capacitor. Principle of the active common mode damper is as follow; by applying the compensation voltage which has the same amplitude and opposite polarity to the PWM inverter system. So, common mode voltage and high frequency leakage current can be reduced. Simulated and experimental results show that common-mode voltage damper makes contributions to reducing a high frequency leakage current and common-mode voltage.

Lamb waves have received a great attention in the structural health monitoring (SHM) societies because they can propagate over relatively large distances in wave guides such as thin plates and shells. The time-of-flights of Lamb waves can be used to detect damages in a wave guide. However, due to the inherent dispersive and multi-mode characteristics of Lamb waves, one must decompose the Lamb wave modes into the symmetric and anti-symmetric modes for SHM applications. Thus, this paper proposes a decomposition method for the two-mode Lamb waves based on two rules: the group velocity ratio rule and the mode amplitude ratio rule. The group velocity ratio rule means that the ratio of the group velocities of fundamental symmetric and anti-symmetric modes is constant, while the mode amplitude ratio rule means that the magnitude of the fundamental symmetric modes of all measured response signals should be always larger than those of the anti-symmetric mode once the input signal is applied so that the magnitude of fundamental symmetric mode of excited Lamb-wave is larger than that of anti-symmetric mode, and vice versa. The proposed method is verified through the experiments ducted for an aluminum plate specimen.

This paper presents the characteristics of non-fundamental multi-mode combustion instability and the effects of high-harmonic components on the Rayleigh criterion. Phenomenological observations of multi-harmonic-mode dynamic pressure waves regarding the intensity of harmonic components and the source of wave distortion have been explained by introducing examples of second- and third-order harmonics at various amplitudes. The amplitude and order of the harmonic components distorted the wave shapes, including the peak and the amplitude, of the dynamic pressure and heat release, and consequently the temporal Rayleigh index and its integrals. A cause-and-effect analysis was used to identify the root causes of the phase delay and the amplification of the Rayleigh index. From this analysis, the skewness of the dynamic pressure turned out to be a major source in determining whether multi-mode instability is driving or damping, as well as in optimizing the combustor design, such as the mixing length and the combustor length, to avoid unstable regions. The results can be used to minimize errors in predicting combustion instability in cases of high multi-mode combustion instability. In the future, the amount of research and the number of applications will increase because new fuels, such as fast-burning syngases, are prone to generating multi-mode instabilities.

The aerodynamic stability of orthotropic tensioned membrane structures with rectangular plane is theoretically studied under the uniform ideal potential flow. The aerodynamic force acting on the membrane surface is determined by the potential flow theory in fluid mechanics and the thin airfoil theory in aerodynamics. Then, based on the large amplitude theory and the D'Alembert's principle, the interaction governing equation of wind-structure is established. Under the circumstances of single mode response, the Bubnov-Galerkin approximate method is applied to transform the complicated interaction equation into a system of second order nonlinear differential equation with constant coefficients. Through judging the stability of the system characteristic equation, the critical divergence instability wind velocity is determined. Finally, from different parametric analysis, we can conclude that it has positive significance to consider the characteristics of orthotropic and large amplitude for preventing the instability destruction of structures.

This paper presents vibration control of an engine mount for a passenger vehicle utilizing ER fluid and piezoelectric actuator. The proposed engine mount can be isolated the vibration of wide frequency range with many types of amplitude. The main function of ER fluid is to attenuate vibration for low frequency with large amplitude, while the piezoelectric actuator is activated in hish frequency range with small amplitude. A mathematical model of the engine mount is derived using Hydraulic model and mechanical model. After formulating the governing equation of motion, then field-dependent dynamic stiffness of the engine mount is evaluated for various engine speed and excitation amplitude conditions. Then robust controller is designed to attenuate vibration of wide range frequency component. Computer simulation is undertaken in order to evaluate the vibration control performance such as transmissibility magnitude in frequency domains.

For All Digital QPSK receivers, a phase recovery scheme is required to fix the arbitrarily rotated I/Q quadrature signals due to the transmission path and clock mismatch between the transmitter and the receiver. The conventional Costas phase recovery loop scheme requires a separate AGC(Automatic Gain Control) to obtain the performance independent of input signal power. This paper proposes a simple scheme which separates the phase and amplitude of the input signal via CORDIC algorithm and performs the phase recovery and amplitude compensation simultaneously. The proposed scheme can considerably reduce the logic resources in hardware implementation, has been verified by C++ and Model Sim simulations.

In this study, retardation behavior of fatigue crack under single overloading of the mixed mode state was experimentally investigated. To produce single overload in the mixed mode I+II state, the compact tension shear (CTS) specimen and loading device were used. The propagation tests for fatigue crack were performed under mode I and mixed-mode loading overloading afterwards. We examined the observed deformation aspects, the variation of fatigue life and crack propagation rate, and the aspects of retardation behavior from tests. The retardation effect of mixed-mode single overload on fatigue crack propagation behavior was smaller than that of mode I single overload. Also the loading modes of variable and constant amplitude loads have influence on the retardation behavior of fatigue cracks.
