For the compressor speed control of a multi-type air conditioning system, a fuzzy control algorithm was developed. The sum of zone temperature errors and its derivative were used as input variables, and the compressor speed was selected as the output variable. To test the effectiveness of the control algorithm, one outdoor environmental chamber and four indoor environmental chambers were used. In the chambers the zone temperature step change test and the indoor unit change over test were performed. Test results showed that, for the control of compressor speed, the fuzzy control algorithm was more effective than the conventional proportional control algorithm for the energy conservation.

The ultimate strength testing of a two-story, single-bay, and sway allowed space steel frame was performed. Considering a majority of large-scale frame tests in the past, only two-dimensional frames were experimentally studied. Therefore, three-dimensional experiment is needed to extend the knowledge of this field. The steel frame subjected to non-proportional vertical and horizontal load was tested. The load-displacement curve of the test frame is provided. The experiment results are useful for verification of the three-dimensional numerical analysis. The results obtained from 3D non-linear analysis using ABAQUS were compared with experimental data.

In this paper, a newly derived formulation of a crack detection model is presented and its feasibility to detect cracks in structures is verified experimentally. To meet this objective, the followig approach is utilized. Firstly, the crack detection scheme which consists of the damage localization model and the crack detection model is formulated. Secondly, the feasibility and practicality of the complete procedure of the crack detection model is evaluated by locating and sizing cracks in clamped-clamped beams for which a f3w modal parameters were measured for sixteen uncracked and cracked states. Major results observed from the crack detection exercises include that far most damage cases, the predicted crack locations falls within very close to the inflicted locations of cracks in the test beam and the size of crack values estimated at the predicted locations are very close to the inflicted magnitudes.

TFT-LCD module with thin, small and layered structure makes its shock analysis very difficult and complicated. As TFT-LCD becomes more thinner, it is more difficult to assure its required shock resistance. Recently, the drop/impact simulation using the commercial explicit dynamic analysis software such as LS-DYNA3D is actively applied to assess the shock characteristics of TFT-LCD. In this study, the effects of analysis parameters and design modifications in the drop/impact simulation are carefully studied. the reliability of the present analysis results can be assured through the experimental verification.

Modern transmission technologies such as automated manual transmission(AMT) and dual clutch transmission(DCT) are interested to all manufactures due to their fuel efficiency and driver's convenience, especially in a hybrid system. AMT has advantages in that they have a high efficiency of manual transmissions(MT) and offer operation convenience similar to automatic transmissions(AT), but it has some disadvantages in that they have torque gap during gear shift and shift time. To reduce disadvantages, it is necessary to evaluate errors and characteristics as a developing simulation model before experimental verification. The purpose of this study is to develop virtual components and simulate the transient response of AMT. A dynamic AMT model and a control logic for an integrated vehicle model have been developed using Matlab/Simulink as a simulation platform. In this paper, the clutch model to describe the stick-slip transition mode and the transmission model to describe the neutral gear shifting is introduced and compared with each other.

Most damage identification methods for structural health monitoring developed to date utilize modal domain responses which require postprocessing and inevitably contain errors in transforming the domain of responses. In this paper, the feasibility of a damage identification method based on dynamics responses from moving loads is experimentally verified. The experiment is performed via applying periodic and non-periodic moving loads to a steel beam and acceleration and displacement responses of the beam is measured. The moving loads is applied using steel balls and the damage of a structure is simulated by saw-cutting the beam. The damage identification results using the measured responses show that the moving load response based damage identification method successfully identify all damages in the beam.

We did the blooth module test as a pre-test of wireless sensor monitoring system, which for the improving of on-condition maintenance reliability, on the train. In this test, we examined the communication environment of wireless sensor monitoring system by the acceleration date and frequency date in the real train structure during the operation. Also based on this results, we did the experimental verification of the sensor power system which use piezoelectric energy conversion technology by the theoretical modeling for the applying on the train on-condition maintenance.

As software based digital I&C (Instrumentation and Control) systems are used more prevalently in nuclear plants, enhancement of software dependability has become an important issue in the area of nuclear I&C systems. Critical attributes of software dependability are safety and reliability. These attributes are tightly related to software failures caused by faults. Software testing and V&V (Verification and Validation) activities are hence important for enhancing software dependability. If the risky modules of safety-critical software can be predicted, it will be possible to focus on testing and V&V activities more efficiently and effectively. It should also make it possible to better allocate resources for regulation activities. We propose a prediction technique to estimate risky software modules by adopting machine learning models based on software complexity metrics. An empirical study with various machine learning algorithms was executed for comparing the prediction performance. Experimental results show SVMs (Support Vector Machines) perform as well or better than the other methods.

본 연구에서는 고유진동수를 사용하여 균열의 위치와 크기를 발견하는 비파괴 균열발견모델을 유도하고 Euler-Bernoulli 보를 대상으로 이 모델의 적합성을 검증하였다. 먼저, 균열위치예측모델과 균열크기예측모델로 이루어진 균열발견체계를 제시하였는데, 균열위치예측모델은 모드민감도와 고유진동수 사이의 선형적인 관계로부터 간접적으로 유도되었으며 균열크기예측모델은 균열발생에 의한 변형에너지의 손실을 진동특성치의 변화와 비교하는 동적 파괴역학적 방법으로부터 유도되었다. 다음으로, 기존에 발표된 양단-자유보에 대한 진동모드 실험결과를 사용하여 균열위치와 균열크기를 예측하고 평가하므로 균열발견모델의 적합성과 적용성을 실험적으로 검토하였다. 대부분의 손상시나리오에서 균열위치와 균열크기 예측치는 실제값과 근사하게 일치하였다.

Henry-Fauske critical flow model was incorporated into TRAC-PF1 to correct some errors in the original TRAC-PFI critical flow model. Henry-Fouske mode1 was numerically implemented and tested against steady-state steam-water experimental data. The model was incorporated into TRAC-PFI and code assessment against Marviken Critical Flow Tests 15 and 24 was carried out. Calculations using RELAP5/MOD3 were also made for comparison. Ten cases were calculated each test and sensitivity study on nodalization as well as critical flow or model was performed Stand-alone numerical model test and code assessment were done for verification and validation of code modification. Calculation results show that the modified version of TRAC-PF1 has a capability to model critical flow correctly in various conditions.
