When a variety of repeated loads are given, most steel structures failed in much lower level of loads than static failure loads. In addition, bridge always includes the internal defects or discontinuities. from these, fatigue cracks initiates and can lead to sudden failure. Thus, in this study, tensile specimens by the cover plate shapes were used as the test specimens. The fatigue test was performed by constant amplitude fatigue loading and beach mark. From the results of this study, each specimen's fatigue section was observed. in addition, stress intensity factor at crack tip was calculated by using the Green's function which applied to discontinuous section where causing stress concentration. Therefore, the fatigue life of structural detail was investigated by adopting the theories of fracture mechanics. each specimen's crack shape is a semi-elliptical surface crack or center crack sheet, stress gradient correction factor, Fg is the most subjective of all stress intensity correction factors and fatigue life should be predicted by previous proposed function and finite element analysis.

This paper presents a new single phase front-end ac-dc bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) rectifier topology. The proposed converter achieves a high efficiency over a wide range of input and output voltages, a high power factor, low line current harmonics and both step up and step down voltage conversions. This topology is based on a non-inverting buck-boost (Zeta) converter. In this approach, the input diode bridge is removed and a maximum of one diode conducts in a complete switching period. This reduces the conduction losses and the thermal stresses on the switches when compare to existing PFC topologies. Inherent power factor correction is achieved by operating the converter in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) which leads to a simplified control circuit. The characteristics of the proposed design, principles of operation, steady state operation analysis, and control structure are described in this paper. An experimental prototype has been built to demonstrate the feasibility of the new converter. Simulation and experimental results are provided to verify the improved power quality at the AC mains and the lower conduction losses of the converter.

정위방사선수술시 소조사면에서의 불균질 물질에 따른 보정 계수를 구하고, 치료계획 시스템의 선량계산 값과 실제 조사된 선량값을 비교, 분석하여 불균질 물질 보정에 의한 선량계산의 정확성을 평가한다. 본 실험을 위하여 12가지 종류의 불균질 물질과 필름 및 이온 전리함을 장착할 수 있는 팬톰(Inhomogeneity Correction Phantom, ICP)을 제작하였다. 각각의 불균질 물질의 전자밀도값을 치료계획 시스템에 입력하여 치료계획을 수립하고, 선량분포와 임의의 위치에서의 절대선량 측정을 위해 EBT 필름과 0.125 cc 이온전리함을 이용하였으며 불균질 물질 보정 계수 적용과 비적용에 따른 치료계획의 차이와 필름에 조사된 선량값 및 이온 전리함의 절대 선량값의 차이를 분석하였다. 불균질 물질 보정 계수의 적용과 비적용시 각각의 치료계획과 측정값을 비교, 분석한 결과 평균 1.63%, 10.05%이었고, 각 경우의 측정값을 비교한 결과 평균 10.09%이었다. 또한, 임의의 위치에서의 절대선량값을 비교한 결과 불균질 물질 보정 계수의 비적용시에는 평균 2.90%, 적용시에는 평균 0.43%의 차이를 보였다. 본 실험 결과 직경 1 cm의 목표점에 방사선을 조사하였을 때 불균질 물질 보정 계수 적용 전의 선량분포 및 임의의 위치에서의 절대 선량이 적용시보다 큰 차이를 나타냈으며, 본 실험에서 사용된 소조사면의 치료계획시스템은 불균질 물질 보정이 정확하게 수행되는 것을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 1% 이하의 정확도를 가지고 시행하는 소조사면에서의 정위방사선수술의 경우 불균질 물질에 대한 보정이 일반적인 조사면에서의 적용 보다 더 정확하게 수립이 되어야 한다.

This paper deals with novel electronic ballast based on single-stage power processing topology using a symmetrical half-bridge inverter and current injection circuit. The half-bridge inverter drives the output parallel resonant circuit and injects current through the power factor correction (PFC) circuit. Because of high frequency current injection and high frequency modulated voltage, the proposed circuit maintains the unity power factor (UPF) with low THD even under wide variation in ac input voltage. This circuit needs minimum and lower sized components to achieve the UPF and high efficiency. This leads to an increase in reliability of ballast at low cost. Furthermore, to reduce cost, the electronic ballast is designed for two series-connected fluorescent lamps (FL). The analysis and experimental results are presented for ($2{\times}36$ Watt) fluorescent lamps operating at 50 kHz switching frequency and input line voltage (230 V, 50 Hz).

This paper presents an integrative control scheme for series-type active power filters combined with shunt passive filters not only to compensate for the source voltage unbalance and current harmonics but also to correct the power factor. To reduce the power capacity of the active filters, passive filters are connected in parallel. Diode rectifiers are replaced by the PWM converters in order to feed the real power back to the source. Power factor control is performed by changing the phase of the load voltage so that the phase of the source current coincides with that of the source voltage. The resultant voltage reference is the addition of the voltage component compensating for the source voltage unbalance and harmonic currents and the voltage component correcting the power factor. The validity of the proposed algorithm has been verified by experimental results.

This paper proposes a single-stage half-bridge electronic ballast with a high power factor using only a single coupled inductor. Compared to conventional high power factor electronic ballasts, the proposed ballast is a simpler circuit with a low cost and a high reliability. The proposed ballast is made up of a power-factor-correction (PFC) circuit and a self-oscillating class-D inverter. The PFC and inverter stages of the proposed ballast are simplified by sharing only a single coupled inductor and two common switches. The proposed PFC circuit can achieve a high power factor and low voltage stresses of the switches. A saturable transformer in the self-oscillating class-D inverter determines the switching frequency of the ballast. Experimental results obtained on a 30W fluorescent lamp are discussed.

A single-stage power factor correction AC/DC converter with a simple link voltage suppressing circuit (LVSC) for the universal line application is proposed. Using this simple circuit a low link voltage can be realized without deadbands at line zero-crossings. The proposed converter is analyzed and a prototype converter with 5C, 12V output is implemented to verify the performance. The experimental results show that the link voltage stress and efficiency are about 447V and 81%, respectively.

A new small-signal model for the controlled on-time boost power factor correction (PFC) circuit is presented. The proposed small-signal model is valid up to high frequencies over lKHz. The model can be used in designing the voltage feedback compensation of PFC circuits, the control bandwidth of which is maximized with auxiliary means of removing the low-frequency ripple from the output. The accuracy of the model is confirmed by a 200W experimental hardware
