The purpose of this study is to investigate the high temperature deformation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy and to predict the final microstructure under given forming conditions. Equiaxed and widmanstatten of Ti-6Al-4V alloys were prepared as initial microstructure and the compression tests were performed to obtain the flow curves at high temperatures (700∼1100$^{\circ}C$) and various strain rates (10$\^$-4/∼10$^2$/s). Form the results of compression test various parameters such as strain rate sensitivity (m) and activation energy (Q) were calculated and used to establish constitutive equations. To predict the final microstructure after forming, finite element analysis was performed considering the microstructural parameters such as the grain size and the volume fraction of second phase.

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have the ability to recover their original shape upon thermo-mechanical loading even after large inelastic deformation. The unique feature is known as pseudoelasticity and shape memory effect caused by the crystalline structural transformation between two solid-state phases called austenite and martensite. To support the engineering application, a number of constitutive models, which can be formally classified into either micromechanics-based or phenomenological model, have been developed. Most of the constitutive models include a kinetic law governing the crystallographic transformation. The present work presents a one-dimensional, phenomenological constitutive model for SMAs in the context of the unified viscoplasticity theory. The proposed model does not incorporate the complex mechanisms of phase transformation. Instead, the effects induced by the transformation are depicted through the growth law for the back stress that is an internal state variable of the model.

This paper proposes a new video-based method of analyzing human gait which is a highly variable dynamic process. It captures a human gait of varying directions as a trajectory in the phase space. The proposed method includes two options of a stochastic process model and a self-organizing feature map as the tool of feature space representation and analysis. Test results show that the model is highly intuitive and we believe it can contribute to our understanding of human activity as well as gait behavior.

This paper presents a new velocity estimation strategy of a non-salient permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) drive without high frequency signal injection or special PWM pattern. This approach is based on the d-axis current regulator output voltage of the drive system which has the information of rotor position error. The rotor velocity can be estimated through a rotor position tracking PI controller that controls the position error to aero. For zero and low speed operation, the PI gains of rotor position tracking controller have a variable structure. The PI tuning formulas are derived by analyzing this control system using the frequency domain specifications such as phase margin and bandwidth assignment.

A DC distributed power system(DPS) has many loads with varied functions. In particular, there may be large pulsed toads with short duty ratio, which can affect the normal operation of other loads. In this paper, a bi-directional converts with inductive storage is used as a DC bus conditioner to damp voltage transients on the bus. In addition, the constant frequency hysteresis control technique for a DC bus conditioner is presented. A simple and fast prediction of the hysteresis band-width is implemented by the phase-lock loop control, keeping constant switching frequency. This technique offers the excellent dynamic response in load or parameter variation. The control performance is illustrated by simulated results with the SABER package. The proposed hysteresis control results in the shortest and the smallest excursions.

Recently, linear compressors of cooling systems such as refrigerators, which have a free piston driven by a linear motor, have attracted much attention because of their high efficiency. For structural reasons, linear compressors applied in refrigerators should use an AC capacitor to ensure stable control. However, AC capacitors are expensive and bulky. In this paper, we propose a new method to realize stable control without a real AC capacitor by implementing a virtual AC capacitor with software. To realize a virtual AC capacitor, a pure integral is calculated. Nonetheless, if an offset current exists, the calculation may diverge to infinity. To solve this problem, a high-pass filter is applied and the compensation for the phase angle and magnitude are realized with a new method. Finally, a virtual AC capacitor enables variable frequency operations. Hence, in case of a lack of voltage, we can compensate by running the linear compressor in high-frequency operations. To improve efficiency, we may optimize the operation frequency. The validity of a virtual AC capacitor has been verified through simulations and experimental results.

Minimum Efficiency Performance Standard (MEPS) has already been operated in many countries. In particular, the European Union (EU) has entered the IE3 stage since 2017. Korea will also enter the IE3 phase from October 2018. As for Korea, there is still a restriction on induction motors only. But, in the EU and the United States, efficiency regulation of variable speed drives is being deeply examined. Standards related to this are gradually being fixed. In this paper, the current status and the direction of global standards related to the efficiency of motors, inverters and systems are reviewed. And the case of improving the efficiency of the system including the motor will be examined.

Spin-lattice relaxation pathway of $CH_2$ spin system by two dimensional NOESY sequence has been discussed. Two-dimensional spectra governed by dipolar relaxation mechanism were simulated in term of transfer mode, the generalization of conventionally used magnetization mode in one dimension. The transfer matrix directly related to the Redfield relaxation matrix can be constructed by the multiplet of transfer mode. The observable relaxation transfer modes causes to variation of the off-diagonal signal intensity of phase sensitive NOESY spectra from which variable spectral density can be extracted with simple group theoretical calculation. The variation of the J-coupling peak intensity as a function of the mixing time in 2-D spectra for $n-Undecane-5-^{13}C$ and Bromoacetic $2-^{13}C$ acid has been theoretically traced.

This paper presents a study on the safety assessment of human body for electromagnetic field at unbalanced power system. The 3-phase load flow algorithm uses Newton-Raphson method based on Taylor series expansion of power flow equations in rectangular coordinates. The use of such a method can result in a solution with good convergence characteristics. In the safety assessment of human body, the approach based on fuzzy linguistic variable is employed to overcome the shortcomings resulting from a crisp set concept. The suggested scheme is applied to a 24bus system to validate the usefulness. The results for an unbalanced power system are compared with the results for a balanced power system.

We develop a simple model which can describe and explain abnormal stress relaxation of ABS melt for which stress dose not exponentially decay. The relaxation behavior of ABS melt consists of two distinct relaxation modes. One is the relaxation of the matrix phase similar to the case of homopolymer melt. The other is manifested by the collection of butadiene rubber particles, named as the cluster, where the particles are connected through the interaction between grafted SAN and matrix SAN. The second mode of the relaxation is characterized by the relaxation time, which is a function of the average size and the microscopic state of the cluster. Experimental results reveal that it can be represented as the product of the average size of the clusters by a function of internal variable that represents the fraction of strained SAN chains inside the cluster.
