The objectives of this study are to clarify the impacts of stack effect in high-rise residential buildings and to present technical methods to reduce stack effect. For the evaluation of stack effect, architectural design guidelines were used and computer program simulations based on network model were performed. The evaluation shows that problems due to stack effect may be reduced by appropriate architectural designs, such as increase in air-tightness of building envelop, and provision of vestibules around entrance and elevator hall doors.

Many tower-supported steel stacks have been constructed in Japan, primarily for economic reasons. However the dynamic behavior of these stacks under a strong wind is not well known and the wind load design standard for this type of a stack has not yet been formulated. In light of this situation, we carried out wind response observation of an operating tower-supported steel stack with and without a tuned-mass damper. The observation revealed the performance of the tuned-mass damper installed on the stack in order to control the wind-induced vibration. Based on the observed data, we performed a wind tunnel test of a specimen of the stack. In this paper we report the results of the wind tunnel test and some comparisons with the results of observation. Our findings are as follows: 1) the tuned-mass damper installed on the specimen in the wind tunnel test worked as well as the one on the observed stack, 2) the amplitude of the vortex-induced vibration of the specimen corresponded approximately to that of the observed stack, and 3) correlation between Scruton number and reduced amplitude, y/d, (y is amplitude, d is diameter) was confirmed by both the wind tunnel test and the observed results.

In this paper, we implemented the full stack platform design with MongoDB database of open source platform Raspberry PI 3 model. We experimented the triggering of event driven with acceleration sensor data logging with wireless communication. we captured the image of USB Camera(MS LifeCam cinema) with 28 frames per second under the Linux version of Raspbian Jessie and extended the functionality of wireless communication function with Bluetooth technology for the purpose of making Android Mobile devices interface. And therefore we implemented the functions of the full stack platform for recognizing the event triggering characteristics of detecting the acceleration sensor action and gathering the temperature and humidity sensor data under IoT environment. Especially we used MEAN Stack for developing the performance of full stack platform because the MEAN Stack is more akin to working with MongoDB than what we know of as a database. Afterwards, we would enhance the performance of full stack platform for IoT clouding functionalities and more feasible web design with MongoDB.

This paper discusses the electromagnetic and mechanical design considerations to improve the design accuracy and power to mass ratio of multi-stack axial flux permanent magnet synchronous generator (AFPMSG). Design accuracy of multi-stack AFPMSG for direct drive wind turbine application is improved by considering magnetic flux leakages and fringing effect. FEM structural analysis is utilized to increase power to mass ratio of three-stack AFPMSG by reducing the rotor yoke thickness considering magnetic and centrifugal forces and Von Mises stress distribution.

Wind-induced vibration is a phenomenon that a struture is oscillated due to wind force such as buffeting, vortex shedding wake and etc., which is one of important characteristics to be considered for design in case that stack has significant slenderness ratio or low natural frequency. International design standards of stack define several criteria for evaluating the suitability of stack design, which describe the required design considerations for each range of design parameters and provide the instruction to verify the stack design against wind-induced vibration simply. However, there is a limitation that they cannot provide quantitative information in case code requirement cannot be satisfied due to constraints of plant space or economical design. In order to overcome the limiation of code, integrated numerical analysis of computational fluid dynamics, harmonic analysis and finite element analysis were proposed to investigate wind-induced vibration for multiple stacks in actual plant. Simulated results of mutual wake interference effect between adjacent stacks were evaluated and compared to the criteria in international standards.

The purpose of this case study is to analyze stack effect problems and to develop methods minimizing methods of stack effect in the tall complex building in cold climates. The main problems in the tall complex building occur in high-rise elevators. Such problems as elevator doors that do not close and exhaust airflows result in excessive pressure differences across elevator doors due to stack effect. Under the expected conditions causing these pressure differences, computer simulations with CONTAMW computer program and field measurements are performed in the tall complex building. The results are analyzed in architectural design aspects. With these analysis, the tall complex building design guidelines to minimize stack effect are proposed.

It is the basic requirement of product characteristics to specify geometric dimensions and tolerances during design process of parts assembly. Therefore, there are many tolerance stack analysis method to explain tolerance zone. Tolerance stack analysis is to calculate gap using tolerances which includes geometric and coordinate dimension. In this study, we compared several different stack analysis method and try to suggest more general method called the Virtual Method to analyze tolerance stack.

Research on High temperature polymer electrolyte fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) has actively been conducted all over the world. Since the HT-PEMFC can be operated at a high temperature of $120-180^{\circ}C$ using phosphoric acid-doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) electrolyte membrane, it has considerable advantages over conventional PEMFC in terms of operating conditions and system efficiency. However, If the thermal distribution is not uniform in the stack unit, degradation due to local reaction and deterioration of lifetime are difficult to prevent. The thin plate separator reduces the volume of the fuel cell stack and improves heat transfer, consequently, enhancing the cooling effect. In this paper, a large area flow field of thin plate separator for HT-PEMFC is designed and sub-stack is fabricated. We have studied stack performance evaluation under various operating conditions and it has been verified that the proposed design can achieve acceptable stack performance at a wide operating range.

A proper stacking force and assembly are important to the performance of fuel cell. Improper assembly pressure may lead to leakage of fuels and high interfacial contact resistance, excessive assembly pressure may result in damage to the gas diffusion layer and other components. The pressure distribution of gas diffusion layer is important to make interfacial contact resistance less for stack performance. To analyze the influence of design parameter factors for pressure distribution, and to optimize stack design, DOE (Design of Experiment) was used for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell stack pressure test. As commonly known, the higher clamping force improves the fuel cell stack performance. However, non-uniformity of stress distribution is also increased. It shows that optimization between clamping force and stress distribution is needed for well designed structure of fuel cell stack. In this study, stack design optimization method is suggested by using FEM (Finite Element Methode) and DOE for light-weighted fuel cell stack.

This paper is focused on the research of the ultra precision linear motor by using piezo stack actuators. The development of linear motor which can be controlled nano or micro scale is necessary for the precision manufacturing. Self-moving-cell principle is used for the design of linear motor Self-moving-cell linear motor is consisted of three cell structures, and each cell has two shells and one piezo-stack actuator. Each cell can do clamping and moving by two shell structures. The shell structure deformation by piezo stack actuator can move the linear motor by losing the clamping between the shall and guideway. This paper presents the design, manufacturing and test of the motor.
