Recently, researchers have become interested in natural ester fluids, as they are an environmentally friendly alternative to mineral oils. Natural ester fluids are a natural resource made from plants; they have higher biodegradability, flash, and fire points, and a greater permittivity compared to conventional mineral oils. However, natural ester fluids also have a higher pour point, viscosity, and water content. These characteristics can hamper circulation and impair the electrical properties of an oil-filled transformer. A large amount of data has been accumulated over the years in regards to mineral insulating oil involving dielectric breakdown voltage and lightning impulse tests. However, natural ester fluids have not had their electrical properties sufficiently characterized. In this paper, we present an investigation into the characteristics of the electrical discharge development in natural ester fluids and in an oil-filled transformer near the pour points. The experiment results show that the electrical properties decreased according to a decrease in the ambient temperature and freezing time. It was found that the pour point and water content of natural ester fluids have a significant effect on the electrical properties.

In order to substitute for the conventional measuring system which could bring about technical inconveiences, measuring techniques for the fast transient high voltage upto 100 kV and small signals less than 1 V are developed by use of Laser Source with Packets cell. for the former, capacitive voltage divider was specially designed for reducing the impulse voltage less than the half-wave voltage of pockets cell. For the tatter, interferometer type was employed as a mean to removing the fluctuation of Laser output intensity. And also the main beam through the Pockels cell and the reference beam from the Laser source are seperated before being detected respectively by photo diodes. And then, these two signals are amplified and compared for detecting only the small signals applied across the Pockels cell. Throughout this work, Laser-based measuring system is likely to enable us, at this moment, to detect correctly lightning impulse voltage upto 100 kV and the small signals less than 1 V upto the 2 MHz. Such a system could be employed as a possible diagnostic measuring system at the substation.

Recently it is reported that many a malfunction of ELB which is represented by non-operated type ELB for an impulse wave, is caused by lightning impulse and transient ground potential rise due to nearby lightning strokes. In order to examine the cause of malfunction, 5 samples were investigated experimentally in this study. As each ELB has a different leakage current detecting circuit and wiring method, various characteristics were measured. As a result, all of them brought about malfunctions under the lightning impulse voltage less than 7 kV and the surge current less than 3 kA. Also the different aspects were measured with a polarity of injected surge and a position of MOV to protect the inner circuit of ELB. The Position and effects of protecting devices were suggested as a remedy.

The time simulation of slow drift motions of moored FPSO in waves is presented. The equation of motion based on Cummin's theory of impulse responses are employed, and are consisted of horizontal plane motions such as surge, sway and yaw. The added mass, wave damping coefficients, first order wave exciting forces and the second order wave drift forces involved in the equations are obtained from three-dimensional panel method in the frequency domain. The mooring lines are modeled as quasi-static catenary cable. As a numerical example, time domain analyses are carried out for a box-type FPSO in long crest irregular wave condition.

Owing to the difficulties associated with conducting millimeter-wave (mmWave) field measurements, especially in high-speed train (HST) environments, most propagation channels for mmWave HST have been studied using methods based on simulation rather than measurement. In this study, considering a linear cell layout in which base stations are installed along a railway, measurements were performed at 28 GHz with a speed up to 170 km/h in two prevalent HST scenarios: viaduct and tunnel scenarios. By observing the channel impulse responses, we could identify single- and double-bounced multipath components (MPCs) caused by railway static structures such as overhead line equipment. These MPCs affect the delay spread and Doppler characteristics significantly. Moreover, we observed distinct path loss behaviors for the two scenarios, although both are considered line-of-sight (LoS) scenarios. In the tunnel scenario, the path loss exponent (PLE) is 1.3 owing to the waveguide effect, which indicates that the path loss is almost constant with respect to distance. However, the LoS PLE in the viaduct scenario is 2.46, which is slightly higher than the free-space loss.

This study considers the numerical analysis on parametric roll for container ships. As a method of numerical simulation, an impulse-response-function approach is applied in time domain. A systematic study is carried out for the parametric roll of two container ships, particularly observing the sensitivity of computational results to some parameters which can affect the analysis of parametric roll. The parameters to be considered are metacentric height (GM), simulation time window, and the discretization of wave spectrum. Based on the result of parametric roll simulation, numerical sensitivity and uncertainty in computational analysis are discussed.

The dynamic interaction between tunnel structures and their surrounding soil medium due to impulse loading is investigated by a hybrid IEM/FEM methodology. A dynamic infinite element is developed for the efficient descretization of the far-field region of the unbounded soil medium. The shape functions of the infinite element are constructed based on the far-field solutions which are obtained by solving the 2-D elastic wave problems. Also they are devised to obtain a reasonable result over all frequency range. Numerical analysis is carried out to examine the response of the tunnel subjected to simple rectangular impulse. It is indicated that the results by the present method are in good accord with those by the boundary and finite element coupling method.

In 1909 Hiram P. Maxim invented one of the first metal silencers for reducing sound levels in firearms. Silenced me have been mainly applied in the hunting and military operation. In particular special force make use of silenced rifle because it is low sound level. This paper considers experimental analysis for the characteristics of shock wave caused by shooting of a silenced me. Experimental results Indicate that the sound level of K-7 silenced rifle was lower than the sound level of MP5 silenced rifle. And, Sound Power Level of K-7 silenced rifle at a distance more than 75m or loom have nearly the constant value. This results that suggested the characteristics data about K-7 rifle's impulse noise will be apply to design the silencer of a small arms.

A New theoretical energy spectrum model for underwater explosive sound is introduced in order to calculate the precise spectral energy levels. This model is obtained by Fourier analysis of Gaussian formula which accurately represents the pressure wave generated from Underwater explosions. In case that explosive energy is very low. The spectrum levels which are obtained from the new theoretical model are in good agreement with the experimental spectrum levels, while the Weston model using impulse formula cannot interpret the experimental results.
