The repetitive control (RC) strategy is widely used in AC power systems because of its high performance in tracking period signal and suppressing steady-state error. However, the dynamic response of RC is determined by the fundamental period delay $T_0$ existing in the internal model. In the current study, a ($nk{\pm}i$)-order harmonic RC structure is proposed to improve dynamic performance. The proposed structure has less data memory and can improve the tracking speed by n/2 times. $T_0$ proves the effectiveness of the ($nk{\pm}i$)-order RC strategy. The simulation and experiments of ($6k{\pm}1$)-order and ($4k{\pm}1$)-order RC strategy used in the voltage source inverter is conducted in this study to control the harmonic current source, which shows the validity and advantages of the proposed structure.

The numerical experiment has been conducted to investigate the unsteady shock wave reflecting phenomena. The cell-vertex finite-volume, Roe's upwind flux difference splitting method with unstructured grid is implemented to solve unsteady Euler equations. The $4^{th}$-order Runge-Kutta method is applied for time integration. A linear reconstruction of the flux vector using the least-square method is applied to obtain the $2^{nd}$-order accuracy for the spatial derivatives. For a better resolution of the shock wave and slipline, the dynamic grid adaptation technique is adopted. The new concept of grid adaptation technique, which is much simpler than that of conventional techniques, is introduced for the current study. Three error indicators (divergence and curl of velocity, and gradient of density) are used for the grid adaptation procedure. Considering the quality of the solution and the numerical efficiency, the grid adaptation procedure was updated up to $2^{nd}$ level at every 20 time steps. For the convenience of comparison with other experimental and analytical results, the case of interaction between the straight incoming shock wave and a sharp wedge is simulated for various flow conditions. The numerical results show good agreement with other experimental and analytical results, in the shock wave reflecting structure, slipline, and the trajectory of the triple points. Some critical cases show disagreement with the analytical results, but these cases also have been proven to show hysteresis phenomena.

Present study examines the numerical issues of cell structure simulation for various regimes of detonation phenomena ranging from weakly unstable to highly unstable detonations. Inviscid fluid dynamics equations with $variable-{\gamma}$ formulation and one-step Arrhenius reaction model are solved by a MUSCL-type TVD scheme and 4th order accurate Runge-Kutta time integration scheme. A series of numerical studies are carried out for the different regimes of the detonation phenomena to investigate the computational requirements for the simulation of the detonation wave cell structure by varying the reaction constants and grid resolutions. The computational results are investigated by comparing the solution of steady ZND structure to draw out the minimum grid resolutions and the size of the computational domain for the capturing cell structures of the different regimes of the detonation phenomena.

This paper reviews the concept of tensegrity structures and proposes a new type of dismountable steel tensegrity grids for possible deployment as light-weight roof structures. It covers the fabrication of the prototype structures followed by their instrumentation, destructive testing and numerical analysis. First, a single module, measuring $1m{\times}1m$ in size, is fabricated based on half-cuboctahedron configuration using galvanised iron (GI) pipes as struts and high tensile stranded cables as tensile elements. Detailed instrumentation of the structure is carried out right at the fabrication stage. The structure is thereafter subjected to destructive test during which the strain and the displacement responses are carefully monitored. The structure is modelled and analyzed using finite element method (FEM) and the model generated is updated with the experimental results. The investigations are then extended to a $2{\times}2$ grid, measuring $2m{\times}2m$ in size, fabricated uniquely by the cohesive integration of four single tensegrity modules. After updating and validating on the $2{\times}2$ grid, the finite element model is extended to a $8{\times}8$ grid (consisting of 64 units and measuring $8m{\times}8m$) whose behaviour is studied in detail for various load combinations expected to act on the structure. The results demonstrate that the proposed tensegrity grid structures are not only dismountable but also exhibit satisfactory behaviour from strength and serviceability point of view.

A supporting structure for a long tube bundle of a large diameter is considered in this paper. The primary purpose of the present study is to develop a spacer grid structure for a so-called "dual cooled nuclear fuel", which has been being studied for a nuclear power uprate. The outer diameter of the fuel rod increases considerably from the conventional one. So a completely new shape of the supporting structure (spacer grid) needs to be developed. One of the challenges is to insert a supporting tube into the cross points of the grid straps. To meet a supporting performance, the load vs. displacement characteristics should be obtained. So the present study focuses on the finite element analysis technology to evaluate the characteristics through a parametric study. As a result, major influencing parameters are investigated for an optimized spacer grid design.

In this paper, mesh network structure is applied to solve the load balancing problems in the Grid database. Data of the Grid database is replicated to several node for enhanced performance. Therefore, load balancing for user's query is selected node that evaluated workload in it. Existing researches are using passive load balancing method that selected another node after then node overflowed workload. It is inefficient to be applied to Gird database that has a number of node and user's queries almost changes dynamically. The proposed method connected each node which includes the same data through mesh network structure. When user's query occurs, it select node that has the lowest workload. The performance evaluation shows that proposed method performs better than the existing methods.

In this paper, a load balancing method using ring network structure in the Grid database is proposed. In the Grid database, generally, data is replicated for performance and availability. And, user's request is transferred to node and processed in that node which has target data. But, in such environment, a decline of performance can be occurred because unbalanced workload. A traditional research is proposed to solve unbalanced load problem. However, the Grid database has a number of systems and user's request always changes dynamically. Therefore, a traditional research can not be applied. The proposed method connects each node which has a same replicated data through ing network structure. If workload is overflowed in some node, user's request is transferred to a linked node which has a target data. And, this node stops another request processing until workload is decreased. Then, it changes the link structure through sending a message to a previous node, to stop request forwarding from a previous node. This paper shows a proposed method increases performance than existing research through performance evaluation and is more suitable for a complex and dynamic environment.

We have proposed a new configuration on the cathode structure to improve a neutron yield without the application of external ion sources in an inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) device. A neutron yield in the IEC device is closely related to the potential well structure generated inside the cathode and is proportional to the ion current. Therefore, the application of a double grid cathode structure to the IEC device is expected to produce a higher ion current and neutron yield than at a single grid cathode due to a high electric field strength generated around the cathode. These possibilities were verified as compared with the ion current calculated from both shape of the single and double grid cathode. Additionally from the results of ion's lives and trajectories examined at various outer cathode voltages and grid cathode configurations by using particle simulations, the validity of the double grid cathode was confirmed.
