The essence of ABS(Anti-skid Brake System) control is to continuously adjust brake pressure to maintain optimum brake torque. This optimum level should balance tire and runway friction its peak value, yielding maximum braking deceleration. It influences not only the deceleration and the taxing distance of an aircraft, but also the strength and the fatigue life of the landing gear. In this paper, an ABS control algorithm is developed with a dynamics model of 5-DOFD(Degree of Freedom). The algorithm is verified by simulations and the simulation results are presented. The dynamics model is simulated by the computer.

Cushioning systems, which are cushion material and its designed configuration, are important to protect fragile items since they act as buffers between the impact force and the fragile product. As cushioning materials, several plastic foams are commonly used in industry. However, the utilization of the plastic material has been causing a solid waste problem and pollution. Thus, as an alternative cushion material to the plastic foams, a corrugated cushion, which is considered environmentally friendly and cheap material, was put into drop tests and its impact shock attenuation was investigated. Flat and free drop data were recorded and compared to the dynamic shock of EPS cushion. In addition, the mathematical model of the shock attenuation of the corrugated cushion was developed. The result showed that the corrugated cushion gave an excellent protection for items that were subjected to the limited number of drops. There was no significant difference of the shock absorbing ability between the EPS and corrugated cushions. Energy density model of cushioning material successfully explained the mechanical behavior and fatigue of the corrugated cushions.

In order to shield the neutrons affecting the background of Low Level Gamma Ray Spectrometer, a neutron shielder was designed. The method used in this study for neutron shielding was the deceleration of fast neutrons by high density polyethylene(HDPE) and the absorption of those slowing-down neutrons by $B_4C$. The calculation results of neutron Interaction in HDPE using Monte Carlo simulation code MCNP4B showed that the thermal-neutron flux was maximum at 10 cm thickness of HDPE. The results also showed that 95% of the thermal neutrons were absorbed by 2 mm thickness of $B_4C$ absorber Consisted of 30 w% $B_4C$ and 70 w% polymer. The results of the Monte Carlo calculation were in good agreement with the experimental value obtained by a neutron shielding apparatus designed for this purpose.

For a power grid that has a high wind penetration level, when wind speeds are continuously fluctuating, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) operation of a variable-speed wind turbine (VSWT) causes the significant output power fluctuation of a VSWT, thereby significantly fluctuating the system frequency. In this paper, an improved power-smoothing scheme of a VSWT is presented that significantly mitigates the frequency fluctuation caused by varying wind speeds. The proposed scheme employs an additional control loop based on the frequency deviation that operates in combination with the MPPT control loop. To improve the power-smoothing capability of a VSWT in the over-frequency section (OFS), the control gain of the additional loop, which is set to be inversely proportional to the rotor speed, is proposed. In contrast, the control gain in the under-frequency section is set to be proportional to the rotor speed to improve the power-smoothing capability while avoiding over-deceleration of the rotor speed of a VSWT. The proposed scheme significantly improves the performance of the power-smoothing capability in the OFS, thereby smoothing the frequency fluctuation. The results clearly demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly mitigates the frequency fluctuation by employing the different control gain for the OFS under various wind penetration scenarios.
