The aim of this work is to prepare a neutron noise calculator based on the second order of average current nodal expansion method (ACNEM). Generally, nodal methods have the ability to fulfill the neutronic analysis with adequate precision using coarse meshes as large as a fuel assembly size. But, for the zeroth order of ACNEM, the accuracy of neutronic simulations may not be sufficient when coarse meshes are employed in the reactor core modeling. In this work, the capability of second order ACNEM is extended for solving the neutron diffusion equation in the frequency domain using coarse meshes. For this purpose, two problems are modeled and checked including a slab reactor and 2D BIBLIS PWR. For validating of results, a semi-analytical solution is utilized for 1D test case, and for 2D problem, the results of both forward and adjoint neutron noise calculations are exploited. Numerical results indicate that by increasing the order of method, the errors of frequency dependent coarse mesh solutions are considerably decreased in comparison to the reference. Accordingly, the accuracy of second order ACNEM can be acceptable for the neutron noise calculations by using coarse meshes in the nuclear reactor core.

본 논문에서는 비동질 탄성무한공간에 대한 비례경계유한요소법의 동적강도행렬을 해석적으로 유도하였다. 해석영역의 비동질성은 비동질파라메터를 지수로 하는 멱함수로 고려하였다. 동적강도행렬은 진동수영역에서 다항식으로 점근전개한 후, 방사조건을 만족시키도록 하여 각 다항식의 계수를 구하는 과정을 통하여 유도되었다. 얻어진 동적강도행렬의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 정확해가 알려져 있는 대표적인 문제에 대하여 비동질파라메터의 값을 변화시키면서 수치해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 유도된 동적강도행렬이 비동질공간에 대한 특성을 적절하게 반영하는 것으로 나타났다.

The NDIF method based on a sub-domain technique is introduced to extract highly accurate natural frequencies of arbitrarily shaped plates with the simply-supported boundary condition. The NDIF method, which was developed by the authors for the eigen-mode analysis of arbitrarily shaped plates with various boundary conditions, has the feature that it yields highly accurate natural frequencies thanks to its effective theoretical formulation, compared with other analytical methods or numerical methods(FEM and BEM). However, the NDIF method has the weak point that it can be applicable for only convex plates. It was revealed that the NDIF method offers very inaccurate natural frequencies or no solution for concave cavities. To overcome the weak point, the paper proposes the sub-domain method of dividing a concave plate into several convex domains. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is verified in various case studies, which indicate that natural frequencies obtained by the proposed method are very accurate compared to the exact method and FEM(ANSYS).

본 논문은 Laguerre 다항식을 이용하여 BLT 방정식을 시간 영역에서 해석하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문은 Laguerre 다항식의 재귀적 성질과 미분 및 적분 등의 특성을 이용하여 시간 영역에서의 전송 선로의 BLT 방정식해를 구하였다. 위의 해석 방법을 저항과 커패시터가 부하로 있는 2선 전송 선로에 적용하여, 외부에서 평면파펄스가 인가되었을 때의 각 전송 선로 종단에서의 전압의 파형을 주파수 영역의 BLT 결과를 IFFT한 값과 비교함으로 정확성을 확인하였다.

The blood flow characteristics have been closely related to various cardiovascular diseases, it is very important to predict them accurate enough in an efficient way. Thus, this paper proposes a one-dimensional spectral element model for the blood flow through blood vessels. The spectral element model is formulated by using the variational method. The nonlinear terms in spectral element model are all treated as the pseudo-force and an iterative solution method is applied in the frequency domain.

This work produces a new model of nonlocal thermoelastic nanobeams of temperature-dependent physical properties. A nanobeam is excited by harmonically varying heat and subjected to an exponential decaying time varying load. The analytical solution is obtained by means of Laplace transform method in time domain. Inversions of transformed solutions have been preceded by using calculus of residues. Effects of nonlocal parameter, variability thermal conductivity, varying load and angular frequency of thermal vibration on studied fields of nanobeam are investigated and discussed.

This paper presents robustness properties of LQ regulators for input-delayed systems. Using frequency-domain representations, the Kalman inequality concerning the return-difference matrix is derived. The stability margins of LQ regulators are investigated using the Kalman inequality when the open-loop system is stable. In order to obtain stability margins a upper bound of the solution of LQ Riccati equations is derived. Finally, the LQG/LTR method to improve the robustness of LQG regulators is obtained and illustrated with an example.

Seismic ground response analysis is one of the most important issues in geotechnical earthquake engineering. Conventional seismic site response and free field analysis of layered soils does not consider the effect of surcharge mass which may be present on the top layer. Surcharge mass may develop extra inertial force to the soil and, hence, significantly affect on the results of seismic ground response analysis. Methods of analysis of ground response may also be categorized into time domain and frequency domain concepts. Simplicity in developing analytical relations and accuracy in considering soil dynamic properties dependency to loading frequency are benefits of frequency domain analysis. In this part of the paper, seismic ground response is analyzed using transfer function method for soil layers considering surcharge mass on the top layer. Equation of motion, wave equation, is solved using amended boundary conditions which effectively take the impact of surcharge mass into account. A computer program is developed by MATLAB software based on the solution method developed for wave equation. Layered soils subjected to earthquake loading were numerically studied and solved especially by the computer program developed in this research. Results obtained were compared with those given by DEEP SOIL computer program. Such comparison showed the accuracy of the program developed in this study. Also in this part, the effects of geometrical and mechanical properties of soil layers and especially the impact of surcharge mass on transfer function are investigated using the current approach and the program developed. The efficiency and accuracy of the method developed here is shown through some worked examples and through comparison of the results obtained here with those given by other approaches. Discussions on the results obtained are presented throughout in this part.

The vibration fatigue is suitable case of fatigue problem that system is exposed to the random or other irregular sources. Even some kinds of effort using power spectral density (PSD) and statistical concept was presented to cope with the intangible force signal, it is still lack of providing a reasonable solution when its exciting frequency is near or beyond of first eigenvalue. In this paper, energy approach method is presented to calculate a vibration induced fatigue damage in frequency domain. Since the corresponding damage become much larger than nominal case when the vibration is coupled with a mode shape of given structure, the new technique compensate the characteristics of structure with a measured frequency response function (FRF) between forcing acceleration and responding stress.
