Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian finite element methods gain interest for the capability to control mesh geometry independently from material geometry, the ALE methods are used to create a new undistorted mesh for the fluid domain. In this paper we use the ALE technique to solve fuel slosh problem. Fuel slosh is an important design consideration not only for the fuel tank, but also for the structure supporting the fuel tank. "Fuel slosh" can be generated by many ways: abrupt changes in acceleration (braking), as well as abrupt changes in direction (highway exit-ramp). Repetitive motion can also be involved if a "sloshing resonance" is generated. These sloshing events can in turn affect the overall performance of the parent structure. A finite element analysis method has been developed to analyze this complex event. A new ALE formulation for the fluid mesh has been developed to keep the fluid mesh integrity during the motion of the tank. This paper explains the analysis capabilities on a technical level. Following the explanation, the analysis capabilities are validated against theoretical using potential flow for calculating fuel slosh frequency.

This study describes the engineering approach adopted to investigate sprinkler head during the early stage of a fire when they are subjected to convective heating and low gas velocities. Comparions are made between the parameters derived using basic methods, ie. ramp test, for evaluating sprinkler parameters(time constant, response time index) is illustrated. Evidence is presented that the propotion of heat loss by conduction from a sprinkler element may very typically employed in the rate of rise test. This fact alone may justfy the precautionary need to perform a limited number of rate of rise tests to confirm a sprinklers capacity to function correctly in reasonably unfavourable yet realistic conditions. The work is aimed primarily at meeting the needs of sprinkler industry.

It is analyzed how the Plasma - MgO surface interaction, driving waveform and their inter-relation can cause misfiring. Developing of glow discharge mode during the ramp reset due to lack of priming particles was suggested as one of the important misfiring sources. It is also shown that simple modification of reset waveform can considerably reduce misfiring probability.

A tracking controller which can improve the performance of nonlinear electrohydraulic position control system is designed and implemented. The method is based on augmenting the system with integrators, obtaining the feedback control law which stabilizes the linear part of the original nonlinear system, and then reajusting the feedback gains using the deseribing funtion method to eliminate the limit cycle in the steady state. The proposed control law is implemented using OP amplifiers, and step and ramp response tests are carried out in the electrohydraulic servomechanism. The results show the improvement in both rransient and steady-state response.

A characteristic of new waveform, called a negative waveform, was studied during reset and address periods. IR distribution, black luminance and time delay were measured to compare the negative waveform with the conventional positive waveform. Based on the analysis of IR measurement, the negative waveform could accumulate more wall charges than the positive waveform. Also the black luminance of negative waveform was lower than that of positive waveform under the same bias and ramp-slope conditions. During address period, the discharge time lag was measured. The negative waveform was showed 0.25 us faster formative time lag and 0.1 us faster average time lag than those of positive waveform.

Among the characteristics of image quality in AC PDP, the serious problem is the image sticking. It can be explained that the previous pattern still remains after the image is changed into different image. In this paper, in case that the length of sustain period and the continued time of still image is varied, the image sticking phenomenon is investigated as the Initial firing voltage at ramp up time during reset period.

The performance of two single-barrier three-phase actuated control systems at diamond interchanges was evaluated for various traffic conditions. To emulate the actuated signal control, hardware-in-the-loop system combined with CORSIM simulation program was used. Two performance measures, average delay and total stops, were used for the evaluation process. Results showed that the two three-phase systems gave similar performance in terms of average delay, but not stops. The delay performance of each phasing system was generally dependent on the traffic pattern and ramp spacing. The total stops decreased as the spacing increased, and it was the most sensitive variable that can differentiate between the two three-phase systems. It was also shown that the hardware-in-the-loop control could provide a good method to overcome the limitations of current simulation technology.

This investigation is concerned with the disturbances in a homogeneous transversely isotropic thermoelastic rotating medium with two temperature, in the presence of the combined effects of Hall currents and magnetic field due to normal force of ramp type. The formulation is applied to the thermoelasticity theories developed by Green-Naghdi Theories of Type-II and Type-III. Laplace and Fourier transform technique is applied to solve the problem. The analytical expressions of displacements, stress components, temperature change and current density components are obtained in the transformed domain. Numerical inversion technique has been applied to obtain the results in the physical domain. Numerically simulated results are depicted graphically to show the effects of Hall current and anisotropy on the resulting quantities. Some special cases are also deduced from the present investigation.

In recent years, ESS (Energy Storage System) has been widely used in various parts of a power system. Especially, due to its fast response time and high ramp rate, ESS is known to play an important role in regulating grid frequency and providing rotational inertia. As the number of installed and commercially operating ESSs increases, the reliability becomes an important issue. This paper introduces control schemes and presents its test method for grid-connected ESS for primary frequency regulation. The test method allows to verify the control operation in the individual operation mode and state. A validation of the method through actual ESS test in a electrical substation is presented in the case study section.

We propose semi-analytic models for the electron momentum distribution in weak shocks that accounts for both in situ acceleration and reacceleration through diffusive shock acceleration (DSA). In the former case, a small fraction of incoming electrons is assumed to be reflected at the shock ramp and pre-accelerated to the so-called injection momentum, pinj, above which particles can diffuse across the shock transition and participate in the DSA process. This leads to the DSA power-law distribution extending from the smallest momentum of reflected electrons, pref, all the way to the cutoff momentum, peq, constrained by radiative cooling. In the latter case, fossil electrons, specified by a power-law spectrum with a cutoff, are assumed to be re-accelerated from pref up to peq via DSA. We show that, in the in situ acceleration model, the amplitude of radio synchrotron emission depends strongly on the shock Mach number, whereas it varies rather weakly in the re-acceleration model.
