  • Reverse-Water-Gas-Shift reaction (RWGSR) was carried out over the ZnO, $Al_2O_3,\;and\;ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalysts at the temperature range from 400 to 700 ℃. The ZnO showed good specific reaction activity but this catalyst was deactivated. All the catalysts except the $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalyst (850 ℃) showed low stability for the RWGSR and was deactivated at the reaction temperature of 600 ℃. The $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalyst calcined at 850 ℃ was stable during 210 hrs under the reaction conditions of 600 ℃ and 150,000 GHSV, showing CO selectivity of 100% even at the pressure of 5 atm. The high stability of the $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalyst (850 ℃) was attributed to the prevention of ZnO reduction by the formation of $ZnAl_2O_4$ spinel structure. The spinel structure of $ZnAl_2O_4$ phase in the $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalyst calcined at 850 ℃ was confirmed by XRD and electron diffraction.

  • It is generally accepted that the surface quality of wafer edge is mostly damaged by the vibrations of the edge grinding machine. The surface quality of wafer edge is supposed to be the most dominant factor of the cracks, scratches, burrs and chips on the edge surfaces, which are the main defects of the wafers. In this study, the structure of a wafer edge grinder has been investigated through the frequency response experiment and the computer simulation to find ways to suppress the vibrations from the structure. The main reasons of the structural vibrations were analyzed. And further the design alterations were deduced from the results of the experiment and the simulation, and applied to the machine to check the effects of those alterations and to eventually improve the structural stability. The result shows that the machine can have much improved stability with relatively simple design changes.

  • In this paper, Ni-V alloy was studied with different structures and thickness. In case of Ni-V and Ni-V/Co/TiN, low resistive Ni silicide was formed after one step RTP (Rapid Thermal Process) with temperature range from $400^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$ for 30sec in vacuum. After furnace annealing with temperatures range from $550^{\circ}C$ to $650^{\circ}C$ for 30min in nitrogen ambient, Ni-V single structure shows the best thermal stability compare with the other ones. To enhance the thermal stability up to 650oC and find the optimal thickness of Ni silicide, different thickness of Ni-V was studied in this work. Stable sheet resistance was obtained through Ni-V single structure with optimal Ni-V thickness.

  • This paper presents research on the stability of control for a quadruped robot with two different leg structure designs. The focus of the research is on the design and analysis of the leg structures in terms of their impact on the stability and robustness of the robot's motion. First, a static analysis was performed in the simulation to compare the structural strength of the legs when the same force was applied. Secondly, two quadruped robots were built, each equipped with differently designed legs, and performed trot gait walking in the real world. And the states of the robots and the torques of each joint were analyzed and compared. In conclusion, based on the results of structural analysis in simulation and the actual walking experiments with the robots, it was demonstrated that the legs designed to be structurally robust improved the control stability of the quadruped robot.

  • A few fluid structure interaction analyses have been developed for turbomachinery blades in comparison with aircraft wings. Also, the existing aeroelastic analyses for turbomachinery blades have been mostly limited to cases with a steady freestream. In reality, however, the inflowing freestream is often pulsating. Therefore, this paper presents stability and forced response analyses of an isolated three-dimensional blade under pulsating freestream conditions. A new three-dimensional unsteady vortex lattice model under a pulsating freestream has been developed in discrete time domain to examine unsteady aerodynamic forces acting on a vibrating blade. The blade's structural behaviors have been analyzed by using a three-dimensional plate model. In the aeroelastic analysis, the flutter onset of a blade under pulsating freestream is predicted by the Floquet analysis. The new time domain method can predict aeroelastic stability as well as time history.

  • In this paper, a predator-prey model with stage structure and distributed delay is investigated. Mathematical analyses of the model equation with regard to boundedness of solutions, nature of equilibria, permanence, extinction and stability are performed. By the comparison theorem, a set of easily verifiable sufficient conditions are obtained for the global asymptotic stability of nonnegative equilibria of the model. Taking the product of the per-capita rate of predation and the rate of conversing prey into predator as the bifurcating parameter, we prove that there exists a threshold value beyond which the positive equilibrium bifurcates towards a periodic solution.

  • In this paper, the model reference adaptive control (MRAC) of a flexible structure is investigated. Any mechanically flexible structure is inherently distributed parameter in nature, so that its dynamics are described by a partial, rather than ordinary, differential equation. The MRAC problem is formulated as an initial value problem of coupled partial and ordinary differential equations in weak form. The well-posedness of the initial value problem is proved. The control law is derived by using the Lyapunov redesign method on an infinite dimensional filbert space. Uniform asymptotic stability of the closed loop system is established, and asymptotic tracking, i. e., convergence of the state-error to zero, is obtained. With an additional persistence of excitation condition for the reference model, parameter-error convergence to zero is also shown. Numerical simulations are provided.

  • In deterministic design of feedback controllers for uncertain dynamic systems, the upper bound of the uncertainty is very important to guarantee the stability of the closed loop system. In this paper, we assume that the upper bound of the uncertainty is formulated using a Fredholm integral equation of the first kind, that is, an integral of the product of a predefined kernel with an unknown influence function. We propose an adaptation law that is capable of estimating this upper bound. Using this adaptive upper bound, we design an adaptive variable structure control (AVSC), which guarantees asymptotic stability/ultimate boundedness of uncertain dynamic systems. The illustrative example shows the proposed AVSC is effective for uncertain dynamic systems.

  • Cobalt subtitution on NiSi is investigated by using an ab-initio calculation. Firstly, a relaxed NiSi structure is calculated and the calculated lattice parameters are compared with experimentally determined lattice parameters. The calculated values are smaller than the experimental values by about 2%. As the calculation is based on 0 K, and the experimental measurement is performed at room temperature, those values are in good agreement. Next, a Co atom substitutes a Ni and Si site, respectively, to evaluate the preferable site between them. Co prefers Ni site to Si site. The calculated total energy also indicates that the Co substitution to Ni site stabilizes the NiSi structure. Therefore, the thermal stability of NiSi with Co addition can be achieved by the structure stabilization of NiSi by Co substitution into Ni site of NiSi.
