Load capacity varies according to a day of the week in traction power supply system, because time schedule in railway is changed as demand for passengers and freights. Therefore, Voltage drop also varies as load capacity. In Korea railway, Voltage collected from catenary in train is decreased, as load supplied traction power supply system is increased. Therefore, investigation about voltage drop should be performed, before development of countermeasure against voltage drop. The investigation can be performed by simulation or field test. Naturally, field test is more precise than simulation. In addition, field test should be carried out at peak load. This paper presents test and analysis about voltage drop in railway. The test is performed in both a day of the week and weekend. The analysis is figured out comparison load capacity between two days and voltage drop across terminal.

This paper deals with the finite element model of the monitor fur the simulation of directional free drop tests such as the backward and vertex free drop as well as the associated free-drop experiment. The model was made for an unconditional stable solution fur the explicit integration algorithm. It was found through the comparison between simulation and experimental results that the general behaviors at the time of impact were observed to well correlate with each other in terms of acceleration, displacement, contact force and stress of monitor components.

This paper deals with the finite element model of the monitor for the simulation of directional free drop tests such as backward, sideward, edge and vertex drop. The model was made for an unconditional stable solution for the explicit integration algorithm. The general behaviors at the time of impact were found to well correlate with the actual situation in terms of acceleration, displacement, contact force and stress of monitor components even though the experiment of the associated drop is performed for the validity of the model.

The industries use polymer materials for many purposes for they have many merits. The costs of these materials take up too great a proportion of the overall cost of products that use these materials as their major material. It is advantage for polymer industries to reduce these costs. The microcellular foaming process was developed in the early 1980s to solve this problem and proved to be quite successful. Microcellular foaming process uses inert gases such as $CO_2$, $N_2$. As these gases solve into polymer matrices, many properties are changed. The microcellular foaming process makes the glass transition temperature of polymers to low, and diminish the residual stress of polymer matrices. Besides, the microcellular foaming process has several merits, impact strength elevation, thermal insulation, noise insulation, and raw material saving etc. This characteristic of microcellular foaming process has influenced by cell morphology. The cell morphology means cell size and cell density. The cell morphology has influenced by many factors. The examples of factor are pressure drop rate, foaming temperature, foaming time, saturation pressure, saturation time etc. Among their factors, pressure drop rate is the most important factor for cell morphology in microcellular foaming injection molding process. This paper describes about the cell morphology change in accordance with the pressure drop rate of microcellular foaming injection molding process.

Add-drop filtering effect of a asymmetric fiber-optic coupler ADF(add/drop filter) is analyzed using a new split-step time-domain model. This model is very useful in simulating the devices containing a directional coupler an Bragg gratings, First, a symmetric fiber-optic coupler ADM is analyzed using this model to confirm the accuracy of the new method. Then, an asymmetric fiber-optic coupler ADF is analyzed, and some design parameters for optimal filtering effect is derived.

Leidenfrost drops with ellipsoidal shaping can control the bouncing height by adjusting the aspect ratio(AR) of the shape at the moment of impact. In this work, we focus on the effect of the AR and the impact Weber number(We) on the non-axisymmetrical spreading dynamics of the drop, which plays an important role in the control of bouncing. To understand the impact dynamics, the numerical simulation is conducted for the ellipsoidal drop impact upon the perfect non-wetting solid surface by using volume of fluid method, which shows the characteristics of the spreading behavior in each principal axis. As the AR increases, the drop has a high degree of the alignment into one principal axis, which leads to the consequent suppression of bouncing height with shape oscillation. As the We increases, the maximum spreading diameters in the principal axes both increase whereas the contact time on the solid surface rarely depends on the impact velocity at the same AR. The comprehensive understanding of the ellipsoidal drop impact upon non-wetting surface will provide the way to control of drop deposition in applications, such as surface cleaning and spray cooling.

We propose, for the first time to our knowledge, a novel gain-clamping method for EDFA in WDM add/drop networks by introducing a disturbance observer technique. The control input signal for gain-clamping is composed of a nominal control signal and an additional control signal of compensating the gain fluctuations caused by channel add/drops. Based on disturbance observer technique, we designed the additional control signal such that it has the compensating information of estimated disturbance resulted from channel add/drops. The circuit for generating additional control signal can easily be implemented by using simple electronic devices. We proved the superiority of the new technique over the previous ones by showing simulation results of minimized dips and spikes that appear in power profile of EDFA in the process of channel add/drops.

The downward discharge of the molten fuel to the lower structure of the fuel assembly could increase of the pressure drop and degrade of coolability of the assembly. To analyze the phenomena, experiments for the generation of the debris bed were conducted as LOF-DT series. Based on the debris bed in the LOF-DT, pressure drop experiment was conducted with intact and blocked component. Parametric study on the pressure drop was conducted by CFD. The LOF-DT experiments were conducted for the position and porosity of the debris bed. 85% of the debris were sedimented in the lower reflector, and 15% were in the nose piece, approximately. Porosity of the debris bed were about 0.7 and 0.85 in the lower reflector and nose piece, respectively. Pressure drop increased significantly with debris bed, especially in the lower reflector. More than 120 time of the pressure drop increased in the lower reflector, while only 10% increased in the nose piece. According to the parametric study, mass of the debris was the most important for pressure drop. The lower discharge phenomena could have a significant effect to the total pressure drop of the fuel assembly, approximately 10.8 times for the base case.

As time goes by, the market demand increases and each LCD panel manufacturing company makes every effort to produce more panels in a limited time. It is necessary to reduce the cost and time of production for the improvement of productivity in manufacturing companies. The increased speed of thin films growth used in the TFT process brings improvement of productivity but it is also accompanied by a drop in display quality due to a characteristic change of the thin film. So in our dissertation, we deal with the increased speed of a-Si layer growth and the proportioned a drop in characteristic quality. We discuss a drop in display quality by a characteristic change of a-Si layer and we propose a counter-plan through panel design improvement. We have already applied our plan to the 15" XGA panel and confirmed the improved result.
