Frictional characteristics with the change of loading method and normal stiffness at dry sliding surfaces were experimentally and theoretically evaluated in this study. For the study, a ball-on-disk typed test rig was built and implemented, which allowed a proper selection of loading mechanism and normal stiffness of the test rig. Loading method were varied from dead weight to pneumatic cylinder and spring loading, and the normal stiffness was varied by a spring of different stiffness. Test results showed that frictional characteristics at various loading methods were different even though the operating variables were the same. Discrepancy in the frictional characteristics, such as coefficient of friction and fluctuation in the normal load, were explained by the change in dynamic parameters of the test rigs. Results also showed that coefficient of friction, which defines as a ratio of frictional force divided a normal load, could be differently evaluated in the calculation when fluctuation in the normal load was significant.

Building energy consumption according to the ventilation has been considered to be an important subject. The purpose of this study is to investigate the cooling loads in a test space with a forced ventilating system. In the test space, on/off controlled air-conditioning and forced ventilating facility were operated between 8:30 to 21:00 during 4 days and some important data like temperatures and energy consumption were measured to obtain actual cooling loads. The simulation was carried out in a mode of temperature level control using a TRNSYS 15.3 with a precisely measured air change amount and performance data of air-conditioner. Cooling loads including sensible and latent were compared between by experiment and by simulation. Both of cooling loads associated with ventilation show a close agreement within an engineering tolerance.

As an alternative approach to evaluate the unit heating load for apartment houses, we newly developed and proposed unit building method. The new method, which calculates the heating load of an apartment building as a whole, conceptually corresponds to integral analysis of building heat loss, while the existing unit apartment method to differential analysis. Four typical building models of Korean-style apartment house and two dynamic load calculation programs were selected to validate the present method under realistically imposed conditions. Eight sets of unit heating load calculated respectively by unit building and unit apartment methods showed excellent agreements regardless of building model and simulation program. It is expected that the unit building method can take the place of the unit apartment method due to fewer modeling assumptions as well as less computational efforts. Additional calculations to investigate the effects of various parameters on unit heating load yield good consistencies with known facts, and re-confirm the validity.

On-line dynamic security assessment is becoming more and more important for the stable operation of power systems as load level increases. The necessity is getting apparent under Electricity Market environments, as operation of power system is exposed to more various operating conditions. For on-line dynamic security assessment, fast transient stability analysis tool is required for contingency selection. The TEF(Transient Energy Function) method is a good candidate for this purpose. The clustering of critical generators is crucial for the precise and fast calculation of energy margin. In this paper, we propose a new method for fast decision of mode of instability by using stability indices. Case study shows very promising results.

The vehicle system is exposed to random source in service. Therefore, it is important to consider dynamic effect of the system. But, fatigue analysis is traditionally performed by using time signal of loading. To obtain dynamic effect of resonance, we carried out resonance durability analysis with frequency response and the dynamic load on frequency domain. The study shows that the damage considering resonant frequency of fuel tank system can be effectively estimated.

While rubber components are extensively used in automobile vehicle, there are still a lot of difficulties in designing the rubber components applied in complex shapes and preloaded states because of the complicated material properties. In this paper, an efficient experimental method is suggested, which estimates the dynamic stiffness of a rubber component using rubber material test and static stiffness of the bush. And it is verified by comparing with FEM predictions and experimental results. This method is capable of predicting the dynamic stiffness of a rubber bush under various load conditions from minimized test data. Also it estimates dynamic characteristics of a rubber component using rubber material test and FEM calculation.

In this study, a spectral fatigue analysis was performed for the topside structure of an offshore floating vessel. The topside structure was idealized using beam elements in the SACS program. The fatigue analysis was carried out considering the wave and wind loads separately. For the wave-induced fatigue damage calculation, motion RAOs calculated from a direct wave load analysis and regular waves with different periods and unit wave heights were utilized. Then, the member end force transfer functions were generated covering all the loading conditions. Stress response transfer functions at each joint were produced using the specified SCFs and member end force transfer functions. fatigue damages were calculated using the obtained stress ranges, S-N curve, wave spectrum, heading probability of each loading condition, and their corresponding occurrences in the wave scatter diagrams. For the wind induced fatigue damage calculation, a dynamic wind spectral fatigue analysis was performed. First, a dynamic natural frequency analysis was performed to generate the structural dynamic characteristics, including the eigenvalues (natural frequencies), eigenvectors (mode shapes), and mass matrix. To adequately represent the dynamic characteristic of the structure, the number of modes was appropriately determined in the lateral direction. Second, a wind spectral fatigue analysis was performed using the mode shapes and mass data obtained from the previous results. In this analysis, the Weibull distribution of the wind speed occurrence, occurrence probability in each direction, damping coefficient, S-N curves, and SCF of each joint were defined and used. In particular, the wind fatigue damages were calculated under the assumption that the stress ranges followed a Rayleigh distribution. The total fatigue damages were calculated from the combination with wind and wave fatigue damages according to the DNV rule.

In this paper, a new fully digital current control method of UPS inverter, which is based on an internal model control, is proposed. In the proposed control system, overshoots and oscillations due to the computation time-delay are compensated by explicit incorporation of the time-delay in the current control loop transfer function. The internal model controller is adopted to a second order deadbeat reference-to-output response which means that its response reaches the reference in two sampling time including computational time-delays. That is, the average current of filter capacitor is been exactly equal to the reference current with a time lag of two sampling intervals. Therefore, this method has an essentially overshoot free reference-to-output response with a minimum possible rise time. The effectiveness of the proposed control system has been verified by the simulation and experimental respectively. From the simulation and experimental results, the proposed system is achieved the robust characteristics to the calculation time delay and parameter variation as well as very fast dynamic performance, thus it can be effectively applied to the power supply for the critical load.

This study simulates a typical solar system using the transient simulation program TRNSYS, and calculates the maximum cooling load of the model room of $50m^2$. In this study, energy rate control method is used in calculating a maximum cooling load. On the ground of the maximum cooling load of the model room, the variables that have an effect on the solar collection performance of the solar system are made a selection. Also in this study the trend of the solar collection performance is shown as the variables change. The results show that the variables which have an effect on the collection performance are collector area, collector mass flow rate, collector slope and the volume of storage tank, and the optimal value of Ac/Vt is not constant but varies as the collector area and the collector mass flow rate. Also the results show that for cooling system the optimal value of the collector slope is latitude minus $15^{\circ}$ during the seasonal operations, and twenty percent of the maximum cooling load is saved with the aid of the solar energy.
