  • Nowadays, control systems consist of smart sensors, smart actuators, and controllers connected via fieldbus. Some devices such as motors in plant environments generate high degrees of EMI or noise. This noise may cause communication errors and make the successful transmission of data longer. Therefore, the noise condition has to be considered at the design of a reliable control system based on a network. This paper presents a scheduling method of task and message to guarantee the given end-to-end constraints under noise environments. A noise model with multi-sources of noise is used, and the analysis method of message's response time is presented when the noise model is applied to CAN (Controller Area Network). Two kinds of noise models are applied to an example system, and the effect to each control loop s end-to-end response time is analyzed. We believe that the proposed method help system designers design the control system guaranteeing its requirements under noise environment.

  • This paper proposes a procedure for designing an accelerated test using SMAT(Stress, (failure) Mechanism and Test) model describing the relation among stress, failure mode/mechanism and test method. In SMAT model the stresses to be applied are derived from the environmental factor analysis, the relative importance of those stresses can be estimated using AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) and failure mode/mechanism and test method are derived from the fields failure information and FMEA(Failure Mode and Effect Analysis). By applying the procedure we can make a selection of major factors to cause the failure of assembly and design the accelerated test using DOE(Design of Experiments) The procedure is illustrated with an qualification test case study of washing machine shaft assembly in "A" electric appliance company.

  • The purpose of the paper is to protect the damage of plastic IC package with searching the cause of the fracture due to the delamination and crack when the encapsulant of plastic IC package is on viscoelastic behavior with the effect of creep on high temperature, The model for analysis is the plastic SOJ package with dimpled diepad in the IR soldering process of surface mounting technology. The risk of delamination with calculating the distribution of viscoelastic thermal stress in the package without the crack in the surface mounting process is checked. The package model with the perfect delamination between chip and diepad is chosen to estimate the resistance against fracture in thermal loading with calculating C (t)-integrals according to the change of the design. The optimum design to depress the delamination and crack is presented.

  • As growing of industrialization and increasing of population, the quantities of waste glasses are rapidly growing in the earth. It cause some problems such as the waste of natural resources and environmental pollution. In this context, recycling waste glass as a material of concrete has a great advantage environmentally and economically. This study is aimed to investigate the effect of load and deflection on fiber reinforced concrete slab model utilizing waste glass by fine aggregates. The flexural strength of the concrete including waste glass increased considerably, as the inclusion rate of steel fiber were increased. And the first crack load, maximum load and energy absorption capacity increased remarkably as the inclusion rate of steel fiber were increased. Therefore, in this study we confirmed the possibility of application for the usage of waste glass to the steel fiber reinforced concrete.

  • With rapid economic growth, numerous deep excavation projects for high-rise buildings and subway transportation networks have been constructed in the past two decades. Deep excavations particularly in thick deposits of soft clay may cause excessive ground movements and thus result in potential damage to adjacent buildings and supporting utilities. Extensive plane strain finite element analyses considering small strain effect have been carried out to examine the wall deflections for excavations in soft clay deposits supported by diaphragm walls and bracings. The excavation geometrical parameters, soil strength and stiffness properties, soil unit weight, the strut stiffness and wall stiffness were varied to study the wall deflection behaviour. Based on these results, a multivariate adaptive regression splines model was developed for estimating the maximum wall deflection. Parametric analyses were also performed to investigate the influence of the various design variables on wall deflections.

  • In this paper, an analytical method is proposed to study the effect of crack and axial load on vibration behavior and stability of the cracked columns. Using the local flexibility model, the crack has been simulated by a torsional spring with connecting two segments of column in crack location. By solving governing eigenvalue equation, the effects of crack parameters and axial load on the natural frequencies and buckling load as well as buckling load are investigated. The results show that the presents of crack cause to reduction in natural frequencies and buckling load whereas this reduction is affected by the location and depth of the crack. Furthermore, the tensile and compressive axial load increase and decrease the natural frequencies, respectively. In addition, as the compression load approaches to certain value, the fundamental natural frequency reaches zero and instability occurs. The accuracy of the model is validated through the experimental data reported in the literature.

  • The computer simulation techniques were adopted to evaluate the effects of seating positions of passenger under various accident scenarios. The baseline of computer simulation model was tuned by the sled impact tests which conducted under the upright and standard seating positions. This study shows the effect of relative velocity between occupant and struck vehicle while occupant is impacted to a front seat's seatback. Although, base on the current accident scenarios, The KHST is performed well enough to protect average adult male occupants. However, Results from the tests indicate small size occupant or higher impact speed may cause sever neck and femur injuries.

  • Recently, optical disk drives are increasingly demanded to have higher speed as well as high information density, especially for applications like CD-ROM drives. To this end, improvement of their optical pick-up structure and control is recognized the very challenging issue. In this paper, the 2-D motion of the pick-up is first analytically modelled to identify the cause and effect of the troublesome cross coupling between auto-focusing and tracking directions. Subsequently, the overall system equations are derived to include the dynamics of the related components in the auto-focusing servo system. While its unmeasurable parameters being estimated by the least square error method, a simple but decent linear model can be obtained within its operating frequency range. To design the high speed and robust positional servo controller, the design specifications are detailed and H$\sub$.inf./ control method is employed based on the simple model. Using the pickup in a commercial 8 fold speed CD-ROM drive as an example, performance of the designed controller is verified by realtime experiments.

  • Liver is the major organ to regulate the systemic glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance. Excess energy intake leads to triglyceride accumulation in adipose tissue first and subsequent accumulation in liver, resulting in obesity and type 2 diabetes. The representative pathological animal model for obesity associated insulin resistance is a high fat diet (HFD) fed mice model. Given the essential role of liver fat accumulation in developing systemic insulin resistance in obesity, I measured the liver triglyceride contents in HFD fed mice as a function of time. As such, in this report, I show the cause and effect relationship with regard to time during a HFD feeding between a variety of factors that are related to systemic insulin resistance including glucose intolerance, plasma insulin level and inflammatory gene expression in liver and adipose tissue.
