This paper presents findings on the second-order sliding-mode controller for a nuclear research reactor. Sliding-mode controllers for nuclear reactors have been used for some time, but higher-order sliding-mode controllers have the added advantage of reduced chattering. The nonlinear model of Pakistan Research Reactor-1 has been used for higherorder sliding-mode controller design and performance evaluation. The reactor core is simulated based on point kinetics equations and one delayed neutron groups. The model assumes feedback from lumped fuel and coolant temperatures. The effect of xenon concentration is also considered. The employed method is easy to implement in practical applications, and the second-order sliding-mode control exhibits the desired dynamic properties during the entire output-tracking process. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller in terms of performance, robustness, and stability.

본 논문에서는 2차원 유한차분 시간영역 방법을 사용하여 균일 평변 전송선로의 고차 모드 주파수 분산 특성을 해석하였다. 전자계 스펙트럼의 크기만을 사용하는 기존 방볍과는 달리, 퓨리에 계수의 크기 및 위상 특성을 동시에 사용함으로써, 다른 공진모드에 비하여 스펙트럼의 크기가 상대적으로 착을 경우에도 모드 식 별이 용이하도록 하였다. 수치해석 결과, 20 GHz 이내에서 스트립 선로에서는 고차 모드가 몇 개 발생되지 않았지만, 접지된 coplanar waveguide에서는 상당히 많은 고차 모드가 발생되며, 특히, 첫 번째 고차 모드가 기본 모드에 매우 근접해 았었다 이와 같이, 기본 모드와 고차 모드가 매우 근접하여 있는 경우 또는 고차 모드가 매우 많이 발생되는 평변형 전송선로의 해석에 본 연구에서 해석 방볍이 효과적으로 적용될 수 있다.

The explicit formulation of the J-integral and the M-integral is constructed in terms of the stress intensity factor and the higher order stress coefficients for Mode II cracks under small or large scale yielding. Furthermore, the stress intensity factor and the higher order stress coefficients as well are computed with the aid of the two-state J- and the M-integral, which is found to be accurate and efficient. It is found that the contribution from the higher order singularities to the J-integral is closely related to the configuration of the plastic zone.

The present paper introduces a new fixed interface component mode synthesizing technique based on the notion of higher-order field-consistency. The present technique employs higher-order residual constraint modes in addition to lower fixed interface normal modes while consistency in matching field variables at the substructure interface is maintained. The present field-consistency approach does not increase the size of the synthesized system even if higher-order residual constraint modes are included. A new field-consistent higher-order synthesis technique is first presented and a numerical example is given to verify the present method.

The conventional sliding mode controller (SMCr) approach is often impractical or difficult when applied to high order process because the number of tuning parameters in the SMCr increases with the order of the plant. Camacho(1996) proposed the design of a fixed structure sliding mode controller based on a first order plus dead time approximation to the higher-order process. But, there are such problems as overshoot, settling time and command following. They are mainly due to the approximation errors of the time delay term by Taylor series. In this paper, in order to improve Camcho's method, a new Taylor approximation technique considering a weight is proposed.

The structure consisting of an E-plane dielectric slab partially filling a rectangular waveguide is examined with attention on those higher order mode propagation characteristics that are relevant to the design of nonreciprocal remanence ferrite phase shifters. The mechanisms for the elimination of $LSE_{11}$, $LSM_{11}$, $LSE_{12}$ modes are introduced. Experimental verification of elimination of higher order mode is shown in the form of insertion loss measurements.

In this paper, we present a new time-varying sliding surface to achieve fast and robust tracking of higher-order uncertain systems. The surface passes through an initial error, and afterwards, it moves towards a predetermined target surface by means of a variable named by sliding surface gain and its intercept. Specifically, the sliding surface gain is determined so that its initial value can minimize a shifting distance of the surface and that the system roots in sliding mode can follow certain stable trajectories. The designed sliding mode control forces the system errors to stay always on the proposed surface from the beginning. By this means, the system remains insensitive to system uncertainties and disturbances for the whole time. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the comparative study with conventional time-invariant sliding mode control is performed.

In the development of a high speed and light weight manipulator, it is necessary to consider the structural elasticity of a robotic arm. The analysis of the infinite mode dynamic of robotic arm must be performed to obtain the finite mode modelling to achieve the feasible controller design of the robotic arm. The modelling procedure of the robotic arm is also illustrated. The controlled mode of the modelled dynamic can be derived by truncating the higher vibrational mode to result in the low order system for the sampling in the control signal is confined to the higher mode. And it is controlled by the pole assignment which can compensate the unmodelled dynamic effects. The unmodelled dynamic can result in the instability of the controlled system, which is known as spillover. The controller design of the low order system is simulated by the pole assignment and optimal control theory.

일반적으로 평행평판 도파관에서 발생하는 가장 낮은 고차 모드는 $TE_1$ 모드와 $TM_1$ 모드로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 평행평판 도파관에서 이보다 더 낮은 주파수에서 발생하는 TE 모드에 대해 고찰한다. 평행평판 도파관의 열려 있는 양 옆을 완전 자성 도체(PMC)로 가정하여 TE 모드의 전자계 분포를 유도하였고, 이 모드의 존재를 평행평판 도파관 공동기를 제작하여 실험함으로써 실증하였다. 열려 있는 양 옆의 경계가 완전한 자성 도체가 아니므로 인해 나타나는 특성에 대해서도 고찰하였다.

The benefit of data fusion in improving the performance of Higher Order Sliding Mode (HOSM) observer is brought out in this paper. This improvement in the performance of HOSM observer, resulted in the improvement of active vibration control of a piezo actuated structure, when controlled by a Discrete Sliding Mode Controller (DSMC). The structure is embedded with two piezo sensors for measuring the first two vibrating modes. The fused output of sensors is applied to the HOSM observer for generating state estimates, these states generated are applied to the DSMC, designed for the fourth order linear time invariant model of the structure. In the simulation study, the structure is excited at the first and second mode resonance. It is found that better vibration suppression is obtained, when the states generated by the fused output of sensors is applied as controller input, than the vibration suppression obtained by applying the states generated by using individual sensor output. The closed loop performance of DSMC obtained with HOSM observer is compared with the closed loop performance obtained with the conventional observer. Results obtained shows that better vibration suppression is obtained when the states generated by HOSM observer is applied as controller input.
