We have studied the speed regulation of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) servo system in this paper. To optimize the PMSM servo system's speed-control performance with disturbances, a non-linear speed-control technique using a back-propagation neural network (BP-NN) algorithm forthe controller design of the PMSM speed loop is introduced. To solve the slow convergence speed and easy to fall into the local minimum problem of BP-NN, we develope an improved BP-NN control algorithm by limiting the range of neural network outputs of the proportional coefficient Kp, integral coefficient Ki of the controller, and add adaptive gain factor β, that is the internal gain correction ratio. Compared with the conventional PI control method, our improved BP-NN control algorithm makes the settling time faster without static error, overshoot or oscillation. Simulation comparisons have been made for our improved BP-NN control method and the conventional PI control method to verify the proposed method's effectiveness.

This paper provides a simple method by which to estimate the cross-section stress profiles for nozzles designed according to ASME Code Section III. Further, this method validates the effectiveness of earlier work performed by the authors on standard nozzles. The method requires only the geometric information of the pressure vessel and the attached nozzle. A PWR direct vessel injection nozzle, a PWR outlet nozzle, a PWR inlet nozzle and a BWR recirculation outlet nozzle are selected based on their corresponding specific designs, e.g., a varying nozzle radius, a varying nozzle thickness and an outlet nozzle boss. A cross-section stress profile comparison shows that the estimates are in good agreement with the finite element analysis results. Differences in stress intensity factors calculated in accordance with ASME BPVC Section XI Appendix G are discussed. In addition, a change in the dimensions of an alternate nozzle design relative to the standard values is discussed, focusing on the stress concentration factors of the nozzle inside corner.

분리벽형 증류탑의 구조 설계를 위한 shortcut 방법으로서 기존의 Fenske-Underwood 식을 3기 일반 증류탑 배열에 확장 적용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법으로 초기 설계 단계에서 분리벽형 증류탑의 공급단 위치, 분리벽 구간, 중간 제품 생산단의 위치를 간편하면서도 효과적으로 결정할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다. 제안된 방법에 의하여 구조 설계가 이루어진 분리벽형 증류탑과 기존의 연속 2기 증류공정 간의 분리 효율을 비교하기 위해 HYSYS를 사용하여 다양한 원료 조건에 대하여 전산모사 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 제안된 분리벽형 증류탑이 기존 연속 2기 증류공정 대비 16％에서 65％까지 에너지를 절약할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 분리벽형 증류탑에 의한 분리 성능 향상 정도는 중간 비점 물질의 조성에 크게 의존하며 중간비점 조성이 우세할수록 유리함을 확인하였고, 최적 에너지 분포 영역 경향은 원료 혼합물의 ESI 값에 의하여 결정됨을 알 수 있었다.

회전익 항공기 중 군에서 운용하는 기동헬기는 전장상황에서 운용되기 때문에 연료셀 피탄 상황에 직면할 가능성이 높다. 연료셀 피탄에 따른 내부압력 증가로 내부폭발이나 화재가 발생할 수 있으며, 이는 승무원의 생존 가능성에 치명적인 영향을 주게 된다. 따라서, 승무원의 생존성을 극대화하기 위해서는 연료셀이 직면 가능한 극한 상황을 예측하여 설계에 반영해야 한다. 항공기 연료셀 설계시 고려해야 하는 데이타는 피탄에 의한 연료셀 내부압력, 수압램 영향에 의한 연료셀 자체 및 금속피팅부 응력, 탄환의 운동에너지 등이 포함될 수 있다. 이러한 설계 데이터 확보를 위해서는 실물 시험을 수행하는 것이 가장 바람직하지만, 시간과 비용의 부담과 더불어 시험실패와 같은 시행착오 위험성으로 많은 제약이 따른다. 따라서, 사전에 다양한 설계 데이터 예측과 시행착오의 최소화를 위해서는 피탄 상황에 대한 수치해석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 입자법을 사용하여 연료셀 피탄 조건에 대한 유체-구조 연성 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석은 전용 충돌해석 프로그램인 LS-DYNA를 사용하였고, 결과로 얻어진 탄의 거동과 에너지, 연료셀 내부압력과 등가응력의 평가를 통해 연료셀 설계와 관련한 데이터 확보 가능성을 타진하였다.

Generally, there are two methods in researching internal combustion engines. One is by experimental research and the other is by computer simulation. The experimental research has many merits that researchers can get data for engine performance, but it has also some demerit of cost and time. If there is an engine simulation code with accuracy for the solution, it is very convenient to predict the performance and optimum design value of the engine. In this study, engine performance simulation program has been improved to predict the transient variation of properties of gas in cylinder, intake and exhaust manifolds, There total program code was developed to calculate the pressure, flame factor and turbulent intensity, As a result of present study, the authors could predicted the in-cylinder pressure, intake manifold pressure and the engine performance in various conditions. The authors also could easily prepare the tool if optimum design of manifold and in-cylinder geometry.

The main function of an infuser is to ensure constant dosage of a drug. Elastomer drug infusers have been used widely owing to their economic advantages. The mechanism of the device is primarily based on the pressure created from the elastic material that contains the drugs. However, as the drug is infused and the internal pressure is reduced, the drug is not linearly infused at all times. This study involves investigating factors to improve the design of the infuser. The first factor is the range of proper deformation, which does not affect a significant amount of stress variation during infusion. The second is concerned with the flow restrictor and the associated design variables are recommended by employing finite element analysis and the factorial experiment technique. The last factor is related to the spring device connected to balloon. The results showed that the drug reservoir can compensate for unexpected pressure gradient drops.

Kriging surrogate model provides explicit functions to represent the relationships between the inputs and outputs of a linear or nonlinear system, which is a desirable advantage for response estimation and parameter identification in structural design and model updating problem. However, little research has been carried out in applying Kriging model to crack identification. In this work, a scheme for crack identification based on a Kriging surrogate model is proposed. A modified rectangular grid (MRG) is introduced to move some sample points lying on the boundary into the internal design region, which will provide more useful information for the construction of Kriging model. The initial Kriging model is then constructed by samples of varying crack parameters (locations and sizes) and their corresponding modal frequencies. For identifying crack parameters, a robust stochastic particle swarm optimization (SPSO) algorithm is used to find the global optimal solution beyond the constructed Kriging model. To improve the accuracy of surrogate model, the finite element (FE) analysis soft ANSYS is employed to deal with the re-meshing problem during surrogate model updating. Specially, a simple method for crack number identification is proposed by finding the maximum probability factor. Finally, numerical simulations and experimental research are performed to assess the effectiveness and noise immunity of this proposed scheme.

Uncertainties in design variables and design equations have a significant impact on the safety of geotechnical structures like retaining walls and slopes. This paper presents a possible framework for obtaining the partial safety factors based on reliability approach for different random variables affecting the stability of a reinforced concrete cantilever retaining wall and a slope under static loading conditions. Reliability analysis is carried out by Mean First Order Second Moment Method, Point Estimate Method, Monte Carlo Simulation and Response Surface Methodology. A target reliability index ${\beta}$ = 3 is set and partial safety factors for each random variable are calculated based on different coefficient of variations of the random variables. The study shows that although deterministic analysis reveals a safety factor greater than 1.5 which is considered to be safe in conventional approach, reliability analysis indicates quite high failure probability due to variation of soil properties. The results also reveal that a higher factor of safety is required for internal friction angle ${\varphi}$, while almost negligible values of safety factors are required for soil unit weight ${\gamma}$ in case of cantilever retaining wall and soil unit weight ${\gamma}$ and cohesion c in case of slope. Importance of partial safety factors is shown by analyzing two simple geotechnical structures. However, it can be applied for any complex system to achieve economization.

Purpose: This study was to test the reliability and validity of a Drinking Refusal Self-Efficacy Questionnaire-Revised (DRSEQ-R) in Korean college students, Methods: The DRSEQ-R was designed to assess an individual's belief in their ability to refuse drinking alcohol by Oei et al. (2005) and consisted of three factors (social pressure, opportunity, and emotional relief). A methodological study design with an exploratory factor analysis for validity and correlation coefficients for reliability was used. DRSEQ-R was translated into Korean and a translation equivalency was obtained. DRSEQ-R was tested with a sample of 201 college students in Korea. The subjects consisted of 106 males and 95 females. Principal component factor analysis was used for construct validity and Cronbach's alpha was used to evaluate for internal consistency of the instrument. Results: The factor analysis showed three factors explaining 66.3% of total variance and the corresponding factors were emotional relief (48.01%), drinking contextual opportunity (11.18%), and social pressure (7.14%). The internal consistency was acceptable (Cronbach's alpha=.937). All three factors of DRSEQ-R negatively correlated with alcohol dependency and a heavy drinker showed a lower DRSEQ-R than a moderate drinker. Conclusion: Based on the findings, DRSEQ-R is a reliable and valid instrument to measure for drinking refusal self-efficacy in Korean college students.
