In this paper, a roll and pitch estimation algorithm using a set of accelerometers and wireless sensor networks(S/N) is presented for use in a passenger vehicle. While an inertial measurement unit(IMU) is generally used for roll/pitch estimation, performance may be degraded in the presence of longitudinal acceleration and yaw motion. To compensate for this performance degradation, a new roll and pitch estimation algorithm is proposed that uses an accelerometer array, global positioning system(GPS) and in-vehicle networks to get information from yaw rate and roll rate sensors. Angular acceleration and roll and pitch approximation are first calculated based on vehicle kinematics. A discrete Kalman filter is then applied to estimate both roll and pitch more precisely by reducing noise from the running engine and from road disturbance. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed algorithm is shown by comparing its performance experimentally with that of an IMU in the framework of an indoor test platform as well as a test vehicle.

Recently, as the dimensions of energy carriers increase, especially in draft, a reliable prediction of the ship motions at finite depths of water becomes necessary. The purpose of this paper is to probe the effect of finite water depth on the hydrodynamic forces and ship motions, particularly heave and pitch, in longitudinal regular head waves, by comparing the experimental value of Freakes and Keay with the author's theoretical value obtained by applying the modified strip theory to the Mariner class ship. It is confirmed that generally the hydrodynamic coefficients in the equations of motion increase with decreasing water depth, and the wave exciting forces and moments decrease with decreasing water depth. Amplitudes of heave and pitch in longitudinal regular head waves decrease as the water depth in the range where the length of the incident wave is comparatively long. The effects of Froude Number on the hydrodynamic coefficients increase with decreasing water depth and is more noticeable in the case of heave than pitch. In heave, generally the discrepancy between the experimental value and the theoretical value is relatively small in the case of $F_n=O$, but it is very large in the case of $F_n=0.2$. It is considered that the trend stems from the ignorance of the three dimensional effect and the other effects due to shallowness of water on the hydrodynamic coefficients in the theoretical calculation. An extension of methods for calculating the two dimensional hydrodynamic forces to included the effect of forward speed should be recommended. It is required that more experimental works in finite water depths will be carried out for correlation studies between the theoretical calculation, according tp modified strip theory, and model experiments.

목 적: Exactrac 6D couch system을 이용한 2D/2D 정합 결과를 분석하여 두경부암 환자의 방사선 치료 시 사용되는 Aquaplastic mask가 실제 임상에서 환자 위치 고정에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 본원에서 2010년 6월에서 2011년 6월까지 방사선치료를 받은 두경부암 환자 14명을 대상으로 Exactrac 6D couch system을 이용하여 2D/2D 정합을 통한 영상유도를 실시하였다. 영상 유도 후 획득한 6D 보정 결과 값들을 이용하여 각 값들의 상호 관계 연관성에 대하여 환자에 관련된 부분과 환자에 관련되지 않은 부분으로 나누어 분석하였다. 결 과: 전체 14명의 각 환자에 대한 보정 값들의 환자와 관련된 연관성 분석에서는 Longitudinal 방향과 Pitch 방향의 결정계수($R^2$)값이 0.76, Longitudinal 방향과 Yaw 방향은 0.48, Pitch 방향과 Yaw 방향은 0.42로 나타났으나 환자의 의존도를 제외한 분석에서는 위의 인자들에 대하여 0.03 이하의 값을 나타내었다. 결 론: Aquaplastic mask를 이용한 환자의 고정은 환자와 관련된 여러 가지 인자들로부터 영향을 받는 부분도 있지만 근본적인 mask 자체의 요인도 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이에 대한 보정이 이루어질 경우 두경부암 환자의 치료에 있어 좀 더 정확한 치료가 이루어질 수 있으리라고 사료된다.

현대의 고성능 전투기는 공력성능 및 조종성능의 향상을 위하여 대부분 세로축 방향으로 항공기를 불안정하게 설계하는 정안정성 완화(Relaxed Static Stability) 개념을 채택하고 있다. 비행제어법칙의 설계 작업은 불안정하게 설계된 항공기에 안정성(Stability)을 부여하고, 주어진 비행임무에 대하여 만족스런 조종성능(Controllability)을 발휘할 수 있도록 비행성능을 조작하는 일련의 과정이다. 항공기의 세로축 운동은 장주기 및 단주기 운동이라는 2개의 감쇠진동 모드가 중첩되어 있다고 간주한다. 전투기에서 세로축 제어법칙설계는 장주기 모드가 설계대상으로 고려되지 않으며, 미 군사규격인 MIL-F-8785C에 정의되어 있는 단주기 모드(Short Period Mode)의 요구조건을 이용하여 주파수와 감쇠비를 최적화한다. 이 때, 제어법칙이 포함된 고차시스템을 저차 등가시스템으로 등가 시켜 판별한다. 현재까지 항공기의 단주기 운동 특성에 관한 연구는 활발하게 진행되어 왔으나, 장주기 운동 특성에 관한 연구는 그렇지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 T-50 훈련기의 장주기 모드 운동 특성을 분석하기 위해 선형 및 비선형해석을 수행하였으며, 받음각제한기 및 자동 피치자세각 트림 명령이 세로축 운동에 미치는 영향성을 분석하였다.

Superconducting cable is using by bundling and twisting with many strands for large current capacity. As a result of the twisting, the magnetic field whose direction is parallel to a sound axis by the transport current of themselves is produced in the cable. Not only the externally exposed longitudinal field but also longitudinal component of self field make a influence on a.c loss and a.c quench current degradation. In this paper, we calculate the saturated region flowing with the critical current density in a strand in case of various twist pitch, transport current and external longitudinal field.

The implementation of a robust $H_{\infty}$ Control, which is numerically efficient for uncertain nonlinear dynamics, on longitudinal and lateral autopilots is realised for a quarter scale Piper J3-Cub model accepted as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) under the condition of sensor noise and disturbance effects. The stability and control coefficients of the UAV are evaluated through XFLR5 software, which utilises a vortex lattice method at a predefined flight condition. After that, the longitudinal trim point is computed, and the linearization process is performed at this trim point. The "${\mu}$-Synthesis"-based robust $H_{\infty}$ control algorithm for roll, pitch and yaw displacement autopilots are developed for both longitudinal and lateral linearised nonlinear dynamics. Controller performances, closed-loop frequency responses, nominal and perturbed system responses are obtained under the conditions of disturbance and sensor noise. The simulation results indicate that the proposed control scheme achieves robust performance and guarantees stability under exogenous disturbance and measurement noise effects and model uncertainty.

A model for a pressure drop of water vapor flow across tube banks in a horizontal tube absorber of an absorption chiller/heater using LiBr solution as a working fluid has been developed based on a commercial 20RT(70kW) absorption chiller/heater. The numerical results show that the characteristic of the pressure drop in the shell side of the horizontal tube absorber is completely different from that in a conventional shell and tube heat exchanger. Especially, solution film thickness has significant influence on the vapor pressure drop in the horizontal tube absorber. In addition, the effects by the tube diameters, the longitudinal pitch to diameter ratio, and Reynolds number of the vapor flow, on the vapor pressure drop have been studied to evaluate the compactness of tube absorber. It was found that the vapor pressure drop decreases as tube diameter increases, the longitudinal pitch to diameter ratio increases, and Reynolds number of the vapor flow decreases. A comparison of the present study results with well-established experimental and numerical results showed a good overall agreement.

The effect of the bow shape on the ship motion response in longitudinal regular waves of water of finite depth is investigated by employing the strip theory. The two-dimensional hydrodynamic forces(added mass and damping) were calculated by close-fit method for water of finite depth. The models for investigation are U and V bow ship forms of block coefficient 0.8 with constant after body which were used by Yourkov [2] and recently by Kim [3] for their deep water investigations. The following results are obtained by the present numerical experiments. (1) It is confirmed that the damping coefficient of the V-bow ship is greater than that of U-bow ship and in consquence the amplitude of heave and pitch of V-bow ship is smaller than that of U-bow ship among longitudinal regular head waves in water of finite depth (2) The merit of the V-bow ship on the motion damping is more significant in heave than in pitch, and is decreasing with the shallowness of water depth. (3) The change of bow form gives little effect on the wave exciting force and moment compared with the motion responce.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bar has emerged as a viable and sustainable replacement to steel in reinforced concrete (RC) under severe corrosive environment. The behavior of concrete columns reinforced with FRP bars, spirals, and hoops is an ongoing area of research. In this study, 3D nonlinear numerical modelling of circular concrete columns reinforced with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars and transversely confined with GFRP spirals were conducted using fracture-plastic model. The numerical models and experimental results are found to be in good agreement. The effectiveness of confinement was accessed through von-mises stresses, and it was found that the stresses in the concrete's core are higher with a 30 mm pitch (46 MPa) compared to a 60 mm pitch (36 MPa). The validated models are used to conduct parametric studies. In terms of axial load carrying capacity and member ductility, the effect of concrete strength, spiral pitch, and longitudinal reinforcement ratio are thoroughly investigated. The confinement effect and member ductility of a GFRP RC column increases as the spiral pitch decreases. It is also found that the confinement effect and member ductility decreased with increase in strength of concrete.
