Higher order nonlinear transfer functions are applied to model the nonlinear responses obtained Inn dynamic analysis of single degree of freedom systems (SDOF) subjected to wave and current loadings. The structural systems are subjected to single harmonic, two wave combination and irregular wave loading. Three different sources of nonlinearities are examined for each of the wave loading condition and it is shown that the nonlinear response appear at the resonance frequencies of the SDOF even when virtually no wave energy exists at those resonance frequencies. Higher order nonlinear transfer functions based on Volterra series representation are used to model the nonlinear responses mainly f3r the flexible systems and clearly shows the degrees of nonlinearity either as quadratic or cubic.

As computation technologies has developed, the analysis using load transfer is mainly performed. But most of the functions used in the above program has been developed in foreign countries. Also in our nation, lots of studies concerning load transfer are being researched. The investigation of suitability about the piles installed in our grounds, however, is required as functions acquired experientially, basing on the piles installed in foreign grounds. In this background, the load transfer curve required to use load transfer method on its design through the analysis of field tests inside our nation intends to be made, on which this research focuses.

A linear time-invariant model can be described either by a parametric model or by a nonparametric model. Nonparametric models, for which a priori information is not necessary, are basically the response of the dynamic system such as impulse response model and frequency models. Parametric models, such as transfer function models, can be easily described by a small number of parameters. In this paper aiming to take benefit from both types of models, we will use linear-combination of basis fuctions in an impulse response using a few parameters. We will expand and generalize the Kautz functions as basis functions for dynamical system representations and we will consider estimation problem of transfer functions using Kautz function. And so we will present the influences of poles settings of Kautz function on the identification accuracy.

This paper deals with the simplification of the transfer function in a frequency domain, viz. the integral of the squared errors between the original and the simplified model is minimized and the latter is estimated by the Walsh function. It tries to minimize the errors between the frequency responses of the two functions. This method is compared with the existing method by means of a numercal example. The frequency response of this simplified model approximates closely to that of the original model. The proposed method is simpler in analysis and easier in implementation than the existing methods. Though the Walsh function can be easily generated with the discrete values, it has errors because its zero crossings are not continuous. This method aims at the reduction of the errors in the real parts and the imaginary parts of the two functions by dividing into the more sub-intervals, and selecting the reduced-order model according to the response of the model. As a result, it can be applied for the simplification of higher order functions into lower order functions and for the design of control systems.

A one-dimensional planar model is considered of the atmosphere with multi-layer clouds illuminated by a mono-directional parallel flux of solar radiation. A new approach is proposed to radiation transfer modeling and daylight background formation for the atmosphere with such clouds that is represented as a heterogeneous multi-layer system each layer of which is described by different optical characteristics. The influence functions of each layer are determined by solutions of the radiation transfer boundary problem with an external monodirectional wide flux while the contribution of multiple scattering and absorption in the layer is taking into account.

A time domain step response in which no overshoot occurs is demanded in many control application. Recently, Kim et al.[4,51 suggested some prototypes of target transfer functions of type I which can satisfy such a purpose. However, if a plant contains zeros more than one, then any output feedback control systems should have the same zeros in the closed-loop transfer function. In this paper, we propose two methods that choose the target transfer functions higher than Type I. These methods allow us to reduce the effect of zeros. It is shown through some examples that the proposed scheme can be effectively applied to the controller design problems with no overshoot.

Increasing the switching frquency is essential to achieve the high density of switched mode power supplies, but this leads to the increase of switching losses. A number of new soft switching converters have been presented ot reduce switching losses, but most of them may have some demerits, such as the increase of voltage/current stresses and high conduction losses. To overcome these problems, the ZVT-PWM converter has recently been presented. in this paper, the operation characteristics of the ZVT-PWM boost converter is analyzed, and the steady-states (DC) and small-signal model of this converter are derived and analyzed, and then the transfer functions of this converter are derived. The transfer functions of ZVT-PWM boost converter are similar to those of the conventional PWM boost converter, but the transfer characteristics are affecsted by te duty ratio and the switching frequency.

One of the most advanced classes of techniques for ground response analysis is based on the use of Transfer Functions. They represent the ratio of Fourier spectrum of amplitude motion at the free surface to the corresponding spectrum of the bedrock motion and they are applied in frequency domain usually by FFT method. However, Fourier spectrum only shows the dominant frequency in each time step and is unable to represent all frequency contents in every time step and this drawback leads to inaccurate results. In this research, this process is optimized by decomposing the input motion into different frequency sub-bands using Wavelet Multi-level Decomposition. Each component is then processed with transfer Function relating to the corresponding component frequency. Taking inverse FFT from all components, the ground motion can be recovered by summing up the results. The nonlinear behavior is approximated using an iterative procedure with nonlinear soil properties. The results of this procedure show better accuracy with respect to field observations than does the Conventional method. The proposed method can also be applied to other engineering disciplines with similar procedure.
