In order to develop the PHEV(plug-in hybrid electric vehicle), the specific power transmission systems considering the PHEV system characteristics should be applied. A PHEV applied to series-parallel type hybrid power transmission system is a typical example. In this paper, the novel hybrid power systems are proposed by analyzing the existing PHEV system. The backward simulation program is developed to analyze the fuel efficiency of hybrid power system. Quasi-static models for each components such as engine, motor, battery and vehicle are included in the developed simulation program. To obtain an optimal condition for hybrid systems, an optimization approach called the dynamic programming is applied. The simulation is performed in various driving cycles. A weakness for the existing system is found through the simulation. To compensate for a discovered weakness, novel hybrid power systems are proposed by adding or moving the clutch to the existing system. Comparing the simulation results for each systems, the improved fuel efficiency for proposed systems are verified.

In this study, we found out the relation between $FeCl_3$ recovering-concentration and stage number of extraction process for invar (Fe+Ni) etching process. In order to get the desired $FeCl_3$ recovering-concentration economically, we developed the simulation program for designing the optimal $FeCl_3$ extraction process. We got the key parameter for this simulation program through pilot scale experiments. The process simulation by the developed program could reduce the emission of waste etching solution as well as the treatment costs. In addition, the developed program could calculate the number of stage of the etchant recovering system and the process time to get the desired concentration of $FeCl_3$. This program was used to compute the optimal capacity of the etchant recovering system and applied to the optimization of the stage of the etchant recovering system in real IT industry.

System dynamics model has been developed and computer simulation has been peformed for the evaluation of R&D policy. One of the main results of the basecase scenario is as follows. After simulation of nuclear R&D resource allocation strategies, we discovered that their net benefit value was maximum at 130% nuclear R&D budget case. And after simulation of human resource management strategies and policy research program strategies, we confirmed that it is beneficial to allocate budgets in the early phase for human resources management program and research program for the policy.

Recently safety systems for the commercial vehicle have been rapidly developed. However, we still have many problems in the vehicle stability and the braking performance. Especially, a commercial vehicle may meet a dangerous braking condition when the vehicle is lightly loaded or empty and when the road is wet or slippery. Under these conditions, the truck can spin out or the tractor can jackknife or the trailer can swing out. To design the air brake system for the commercial vehicle, since the air brake system has many design variables, there must have been intensive researches on a method how to prevent dynamic instability and how to maximize the vehicle deceleration. In this study, mathematical models about the tractor-semitrailer and the air brake system including an ABS controller have been constructed for computer simulation. Also, simple examples are applied to show the usefulness of the program. Designers can use this simulation program for understanding the braking characteristics such as trajectory, braking distance, longitudinal deceleration, lateral deceleration, and yaw rate on various road conditions.

We can save a lot of efforts and time to perform various kinds of multibody system dynamics simulations if the equations of motion of the multibody system can be formulated automatically. In general, the equations of motion are formulated based on Newton's $2^{nd}$law. And they can be transformed into the equations composed of independent variables by using velocity transformation matrix. In this paper the velocity transformation matrix is derived based on a topological modeling approach which considers the topology and the joint property of the multibody system. This approach is, then, used to formulate the equations of motion automatically and to implement a multibody system dynamics simulation program. To verify the the efficiency and convenience of the program, it is applied to the lifting simulation of a floating crane.

The purpose of our study is to develop tool kits which give us inexpensive simulation method. We develop a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) program module with which we can edit and monitor PLC program, a virtual PLC (VPLC) system and simulation equipment. The PLC and simulation equipment are interlinked each other and controlled by the PLC program in real time. So, e can get effect as actural operation. Using our new tool kits we don't have to prepare PLC and machine, because we can configure PLC system and see the response of virtual machine n monitor. For validity of the developed program, we make experiments for the PLC program of elevator and automatic materials weighting system. The experimental results show that the virtual machine (VM) operates properly by the PLC control program.

A simulation program is developed for the optimal design of small scale district heating and cooling system. Main features for the simulation program are the reliability and the easiness for the optimal design of the DHC(District Heating and Cooling) systems. In order for implementing those features, the operational characteristics according to the prime movers is modeled based on the materials of efficiency as a function of operational load. The unit energy load model is also developed extensively for several building types, of which the corresponding district consist, such as apartment complex, hotel, hospital, buildings for business and commercial use respectively. The specific features and the overall procedure of the simulation are described in brief in this paper. The results of the simulation for several test cases will be presented in subsequent study.

In this study, we have developed the static and dynamic simulation program of a high speed current collection system. The catenary wire is modeled to discrete masses connected by massless strings and the pantograph is replaced with 3 d.o.f equivalent models that are composed of masses, springs and dampers. We derived partial differential equations of motion from the equivalent model and developed the simulation program. Then, we calculated the static equilibrium state of the overhead catenary and the dynamic behaviors of the high speed current collection system. The analysis results were compared with the results of GASENDO software developed at RTRI in Japan.
