The substructuring pseudodynamic test is a hybrid testing method consisting of a numerical simulation of the earthquake response of an analytical model and a loading test of a specimen. The substructuring pseudodynamic testing technique has been applied to various seismic experiments since it has advantages over the shaking table test to study dynamic behaviors of relatively large scale structures. However, experimental errors are inevitable in substructuring pseudodynamic testing. Some of these errors can be monitored during the test, but, due to limitations in control system, they cannot be eliminated. For example, one cannot control exactly the displacements that are actually imposed on the structures at each time step. This paper focuses on a technique to minimize the cumulative effect of such control errors for MDOF system. For this purpose, the modified posterior adjustment of the time increment from a target value $\Delta$t$_{n}$ to an adjusted value is performed to minimize the effect of the control errors for MDOF system.for MDOF system.

The perturbation approach is applied to solve the nonlinear Schrodinger equation, and its valid range has been determined by comparing with the results of the split-step Fourier method over a wide range of parameter values. With γ= 2㎞/sup -1/mW/sup -1/, the critical distance for the first order perturbation approach is estimated to be(equation omitted). The critical distance, Z/sub c/, is defined as the distance at which the normalized square deviation compared to the split-step Fourier method reaches 10/sup -3/. Including the second order perturbation will increase Z/sub c/ more than a factor of two, but the increased computation load makes the perturbation approach less attractive. In addition, it is shown mathematically that the perturbation approach is equivalent to the Volterra series approach, which can be used to design a nonlinear equalizer (or compensator). Finally, the perturbation approach is applied to obtain the sinusoidal response of the fiber, and its range of validity has been studied.

This work proposes a simple control method of a buck-type active power decoupling circuit that can minimize the ripple values in the dc link voltage. The proposed method utilizes a simplified duty calculation method and an optimal compensation gain tracking algorithm with variable-step approach. Thus, the dc link voltage ripple can be effectively reduced through the proposed method along with rapid response in tracking the optimum compensation gain. Moreover, the proposed method has better dynamic responses in the load fluctuation or abnormal situation. MATLAB/Simulink simulation and hardware-in-the-loop-simulation(HILS)-based experimental results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Since surge arresters are recommended to protect the electric power system from the lighting surge, the impulse current is generally used to verify this requirement at the test labotaries. Recently, the international standard(IEC 60060-2) related to the impulse current techniques revised requiring a traceability of measuring system for impulse current measurements. In this paper, a shunt for impulse current is developed satisfing the revised IEC standard and the possibility of application has been investigated using step response.

This study was represented the improvement of the flexible position control for linear motion of hybrid type linear pulse motor(HLPM). The driving method used a minute 125 microstep drive instead of full step drive method. The digital control method was applied to the PI control for more stable position control, at this time the PI control parameters have gained by a Ziegler-Nichols turning method. The loop transfer function of control system was combined with both motor transfer function and digital PI control equation. Such, the proper for digital PI control system is verified to through the simulation and experimental result of the stability step response and bode plot with proper gain and phase margin.

In this paper, the effect of damping ratio on nonlinear dynamic analysis response and dynamic increase factor (DIF) in nonlinear static analysis of structures against column removal are investigated and a modified empirical DIF is presented. To this end, series of low and mid-rise moment frame structures with different span lengths and number of storeys are designed and the effect of damping ratio in DIF is investigated, performing several nonlinear static and dynamic analyses. For each damping ratio, a nonlinear dynamic analysis and a step by step nonlinear static analysis are carried out and the modified empirical DIF formulas are derived. The results of the analysis reveal that DIF is decreased with increasing damping ratio. Finally, an empirical formula is recommended that relates to damping ratio. Therefore, the new modified DIF can be used with nonlinear static analysis instead of nonlinear dynamic analysis to assess the progressive collapse potential of moment frame buildings with different damping ratios.

This paper investigates asimply supported orthotropic rectangular laminate with viscous interfaces subjected to bending. Additional mathematical difficulty is involved due to the presence of viscous interfaces because the behavior of the laminate depends on time. A step-by-step state-space approach is suggested, which is directly based on the threedimensional theory of elasticity. In particular, Taylor's expansion theorem is employed to model the variations of field variables with time. The proposed method is suitable for analyzing laminated plate of arbitrary thickness. Numerical calculations are performed and it is shown that the viscous interfaces have a significant fluence on the response.

A numerical algorithm for plane stress and shell elasto-plasticity is presented in this paper. The proposed strain decomposition (SD) algorithm is an elastic predictor/plastic corrector algorithm, and in the context of operator splitting, is a return mapping algorithm. However, it differs significantly from other return mapping algorithms in that only the necessary response functions are used without invoking their gradients, and the stress increment is updated only at the end of the time step. This makes the proposed SD algorithm more suitable for materials with complex yield surfaces and will guard against error accumulation during the time step. Comparative analyses of structural systems using the proposed strain decomposition (SD) algorithm and the iterative radial return (IRR) algorithm are presented. The results demonstrate the accuracy and usefulness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper proposes supplementary control of conventional coordinated control of a power plant which directly affects network frequency. The supplementary control with dynamic matrix control is applied for 1000 MW power plant with ultra-supercritical (USC) once-through boiler. The supplementary control signal is added to the boiler feedforward signal in the existing coordinated control logic. Therefore, it is a very practical structure that can maintain the existing multi-loop control system. This supplementary controller uses the step response model for the power plant system, and on-line optimization is performed at every sampling step. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed supplementary control in a wide operating range of a practical 1000 MW USC power plant simulator. These results can contribute the stable operation of power system frequency.

AlN thin films are prepared on Si (111) substrate by RF magnetron sputtering. Two-step deposition method is proposed to obtain AlN thin films with high c-axis (002)-TC value and low surface roughnesses. For all the deposited AlN films, the c-axis (002)-orientation, surface mophology, and roughness are characterized in terms of deposition conditions FEAR devices with Al/AlN/Mo/Si(111) configuration are also fabricated. From the frequency response characteristics, the return loss and electromechanical coupling contant($k_t{^2}$) are estimated.
