Long and slender body, like a fuel rod, oscillating in axial flow can be unstabilized even by the small cross flow which can be activated by the flow mixer or turbulent generator. It is important to include these effects of flow disturbance in dynamic stability analysis of nuclear fuel rod. This work shows how eigen frequency of a multi-span fuel rod can be changed by the swirl flow, which is discretely generated by a flow mixer. By solving a state-space form of the eigenvalue equation for a multi-span fuel rod system, the critical velocity at which a fuel rod becomes unstable was calculated. Based on the simulation results, we evaluated how stability of a multi-spanned nuclear fuel rod with mixing vanes can be affected by the coolant flow in an operating reactor core.

In this study size optimization of large-scale dome structures with dynamic constraints is presented. In the optimal design of these structure, the Jaya algorithm is used to find minimal size of design variables. The design variables are the cross-sectional areas of the steel truss bar elements. To take into account the constraints which are the first five natural frequencies of the structures, the finite element analysis is coded in Matlab programs using eigen values of the stiffness matrix of the dome structures. The Jaya algorithm and the finite elements codes are combined by the help of the Matlab - GUI (Graphical User Interface) programming to carry out the optimization process for the dome structures. To show the efficiency and the advances of the Jaya algorithm, 1180 bar dome structure and the 1410 bar dome structure were tested by taking into the frequency constraints. The optimal results obtained by the proposed algorithm are compared with those given in the literature to demonstrate the performance of the Jaya algorithm. At the end of the study, it is concluded that the proposed algorithm can be effectively used in the optimal design of large-scale dome structures.

The free vibration frequency responses of the graded flat and curved (cylindrical, spherical, hyperbolic and elliptical) panel structures investigated in this research considering the rectangular and tilted planforms under unlike temperature loading. For the numerical implementation purpose, a micromechanical model is prepared with the help of Voigt's methodology via the power-law type of material model. Additionally, to incur the exact material strength, the temperature-dependent properties of each constituent of the graded structure included due to unlike thermal environment. The deformation kinematics of the rectangular/tilted graded shallow curved panel structural is modeled via higher-order type of polynomial functions. The final form of the eigenvalue equation of the heated structure obtained via Hamilton's principle and simultaneously solved numerically using finite element steps. To show the solution accuracy, a series of comparison the results are compared with the published data. Some new results are exemplified to exhibit the significance of power-law index, shallowness ratio, aspect ratio and thickness ratio on the combined thermal eigen characteristics of the regular and tilted graded panel structure.

This work investigates the subcritical free-shear prism wake at Re=22,000 by the Koopman analysis using the Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) algorithm. The Koopman model linearized nonlinearities in the stochastic, homogeneous anisotropic turbulent wake, generating temporally orthogonal eigen tuples that carry meaningful, coherent structures. Phenomenological analysis of dominant modes revealed their physical interpretations: Mode 1 renders the mean-field dynamics, Modes 2 describes the roll-up of the Strouhal vortex, Mode 3 describes the Bloor-Gerrard vortex resulting from the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability inside shear layers, its superposition onto the Strouhal vortex, and the concurrent flow entrainment, Modes 6 and 10 describe the low-frequency shedding of turbulent separation bubbles (TSBs) and turbulence production, respectively, which contribute to the beating phenomenon in the lift time history and the flapping motion of shear layers, Modes 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9 are the relatively trivial harmonic excitations. This work demonstrates the Koopman analysis' ability to provide insights into free-shear flows. Its success in subcritical turbulence also serves as an excellent reference for applications in other nonlinear, stochastic systems.

On the basis of Flügge shell theory, the vibrations of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are investigated. The structure of armchair single walled carbon nanotubes are used here. Influences of length-to-diameter ratios and the two boundary conditions on the natural frequencies of armchair SWCNTs are examined. The Rayleigh-Ritz method is employed to determine eigen frequencies for single walled carbon nanotubes. The solution is obtained using the geometric characteristics and boundary conditions for natural frequencies of SWCNTs. The natural frequencies decrease as ratio of length to diameter increase and the effect of frequencies is less significant and more prominent for long tube. To assess the frequency confirmation carried out in this paper are compared with the earlier computations.

의도적 간섭신호가 존재하는 환경에서 효과적 통신을 위한 방식으로 주파수 도약 시스템이 오랫동안 사용되었으나, 간섭이 존재하는 대역내의 데이터 손실을 보상하기 위해 수행이득을 높이는 데에는 한계가 있다. 이와 같은 문제는 주파수 도약 시스템에 빔형성기를 적용함으로서 개선할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 도약 시스템에 빔형성 기법을 적용하기 위해 주파수 도약에 따른 가중치 벡터의 위상 차이를 보상하는 방법과 연산량이 적으면서도 간섭 신호를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 투영 행렬 빔형성 기법을 제시하였다. 즉, 주파수 도약 시스템의 특성을 이용하여 재밍이 존재하지 않는 프레임으로부터 고유치 해석을 통한 지향 벡터를 구하고, 이를 기반으로 투영 행렬을 생성하여 간섭신호가 존재하는 수신 공분산 행렬에서 이를 제거함으로서 최적해인 SINR 빔형성기에 근접한 성능을 나타내었다.

레이더 물표에 대한 반사성능은 RCS(Radar Cross Section)에 의하여 결정된다. 형상이 비교적 간단한 물체에 대해서는 고유함수 접근법에 의하여 RCS를 정확하게 예측할 수 있으나, 해상물표와 같은 복잡한 물표에 대해서는 저주파 및 고주파 산란해석 기법 등을 이용하여 근사적인 해를 찾을 수밖에 없고 계산적으로도 복잡하다. 본 연구에서는 수신신호의 파라미터를 정도 높게 추정할 수 있는 MUSIC 알고리즘을 이용하여 RCS 값을 근사적으로 구할 수 있는 레이더 신호모델을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 레이더 물표는 산란체의 링으로서 가정되고 레이더 물표로부터 반사된 신호들의 진폭은 통계적 성질을 지니고 분포하게 된다. 결과적으로 제안된 레이더 신호모델에 MUSIC 알고리즘이 적용되고, 레이더 물표의 RCS는 간단한 대수적인 방법으로 계산된다.

희박 예혼합 가스터빈의 연소 불안정 현상을 이해하기 위해서는, 선형 과정에 의하여 얻어지는 고유주파수 및 초기 성장률뿐만 아니라, 연소기 비선형 특성에 의존하는 한계진폭의 예측이 필요하다. 특히 현재의 연구에서는 비선형 거동에 의한 한계 진폭을 예측하기 위해서 유동 섭동과 열발생의 비율이 주파수와 속도 진폭을 정의할 수 있는 화염묘사함수를 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 화염묘사함수를 얻기 위하여 CFD 기법이 적용되었으며, 이를 통하여 비선형 열음향 해석으로부터 불안정 한계 진폭을 예측할 수 있었다.

As in the other fields of mechanics, analytical methods represent an important analysis tool in marine hydrodynamics. The analytical approach is interesting for different reasons : it gives reference results for numerical codes verification, it gives physical insight into some complicated problems, it can be used as a simplified predesign tool, etc. This approach is of course limited to some simplified geometries (cylinders, spheres, ...), and only the case of one or more cylinders, truncated or not, will be considered here. Presented methods are basically eigenfunction expansions whose complexity depends on the boundary conditions. The hydrodynamic boundary value problem (BVP) is formulated within the usual assumptions of potential flow and is additionally simplified by the perturbation method. By using this approach, the highly nonlinear problem decomposes into its linear part and the higher order (second, third, ...) corrections. Also, periodicity is assumed so that the time dependence can be factorized i.e. the frequency domain formulation is adopted. As far as free surface flows are concerned, only cases without or with small forward speed are sufficiently simple to be solved semi-analytically. The problem of the floating body advancing in waves with arbitrary forward speed is far more complicated. These remarks are also valid for the general numerical methods where the case of arbitrary forward speed, even linearized, is still too difficult from numerical point of view, and "it is fair to say that there exists at present no general practical numerical method for the wave resistance problem" [9], and even less for the general seakeeping problem. We note also that, in the case of bluff bodies like cylinders, the assumptions of the potential flow are justified only if the forward speed is less than the product of wave amplitude with wave frequency.
