  • A magnetically levitated vehicle (Maglev) system is under commercialization as a new transportation system in Korea. The Maglev is operated by an unmanned automatic control system. Therefore, the plan of train operation should be carefully established and validated in advance. In general, when making a train operation plan, statistically predicted traffic data is used. However, a traffic wave often occurs in real train service, and demand-driven simulation technology is required to review a train operation plan and service quality considering traffic waves. We propose a method and model to simulate Maglev operation considering continuous demand changes. For this purpose, we employed a discrete event model that is suitable for modeling the behavior of railway passenger transportation. We modeled the system hierarchically using discrete event system specification (DEVS) formalism. In addition, through implementation and an experiment using the DEVSim++ simulation environment, we tested the feasibility of the proposed model. Our experimental results also verified that our demand-driven simulation technology can be used for a priori review of train operation plans and strategies.

  • Insulation aging diagnosis system provides early warning regarding electrical equipment defects. Early warning is very important in that it can avoid great losses resulting from unexpected shutdown of the production line. Since relations of insulation aging and partial discharge dynamics are non-linear. it is very difficult to provide early warning in an electrical equipment. In this paper, we propose the design method of insulation aging diagnosis system that use a electromagnetic wave and acoustic signal to diagnose an electrical equipment. Proposed system measures the partial discharge on-line from DAS(Data Acquisition System and acquires 2D patterns from analyzing it. For filtering the noise contained in sensor signals we used ICA algorithms. Using this data, we design of the neuro-fuzzy model that diagnoses an electrical equipment and is investigated in this paper. Validity of the new method is asserted by numerical simulation.

  • Numerical Analysis has been done for the supersonic off-design jet flow due to the pressure difference between the jet and the ambient fluid. The difference of pressure generates an oblique shock or an expansion wave at the nozzle exit, The waves reflect repeatedly at the center axis and on the sonic surface in the shear layer, and the pressure difference is resolved across these waves interacted with the turbulence mixing layer. In this paper, the axi-symmetric Navier-Stokes equation has been used with two equation $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence closure model. The second order TVD scheme with flux limiters, based on the flux vector split by the smooth eigenvalue split, has been used to capture internal shocks and other discontinuities. The correction term for the compressible flow and the damping function are used in the turbulence model. Numerical calculations have been done to analyze the off-design jet flow due to the pressure difference. The variation of pressure along the flow axis is compared with an experimental result and other numerical result. The characteristics of the interaction between the shock cell and the turbulence mixing layer have been analyzed.

  • In this work, mixing phenomena in the mixing chamber of a ultrasonic micromixer are analyzed through an analytical approach. A simplified 2-dimensional model for the ultrasonic micromixer is presented. Analytical solutions for fluid flow induced by ultrasonic waves are obtained through successive approximations method. From simulation results on thermal diffusion in the mixing chamber, effects of relative location, size, and vibration frequency of a piezoelectric material and aspect ratio of the mixing chamber on mixing performance of the ultrasonic micromixer are investigated. Finally, design guidelines for the ultrasonic micromixer are suggested based on the parametric study.

  • This paper proposed optimal design and microcontroller driver for driving the thin-type ultrasonic motor. To find the optimal size of the stator, motions of the motor were simulated using ATILA by changing length, width and thickness of the ceramics. Two sinusoidal waves which have 90 degree phase difference were needed for driving the thin-type motor. The thin-type ultrasonic motor driver was composed of microcontroller(Atmega128), push-pull inverter, encoder and AD-converter. Microcontroller generates four square waves which have variable frequency and 25[%] duty ratio in $20{\sim}150$[kHz]. The output signals of microcontroller were converted to sine wave and cosine wave by push-pull inverter and were applied to the thin-type ultrasonic motor. The encoder and AD-converter were used for maintaining speed of the thin-type ultrasonic motor. The AD-converter controlled DC voltage of inverter in accordance with output signal of encoder. Using the driver, characteristics of the motor as speed and torque were measured.

  • In this paper, we propose the system that simultaneously controls objects in virtual reality and objects in real environments using brain waves. We propose a system that measures brain waves to grasp the user's concentration and quantifies them to raise or lower virtual and real objects. We implemented a web-based virtual reality system and an embedded system based on a raspberry pi for test of design. It was confirmed that the control of virtual and real objects is possible using BCI. The result was that it was possible to develop various contents using this.

  • In the present paper, a numerical and experimental analysis for a wave energy converter under extreme environmental conditions is carried out. After the definition of design waves, including a 100-year return period stochastic sea state and a deterministic rogue wave condition, a numerical analysis using potential theory and a RANS equations solver are compared with experiments carried out at the Seakeeping Basin at the Technical University of Berlin. Results are discussed with special emphasis on the limits of potential theory methods for the evaluation of extreme wave conditions and the use of the presented methodology for early design stages.

  • In offshore structures, the mean viscous drift force due to drag is considered to be a design part that has not been considered until recently. In particular, it is most important to calculate the drift force acting on a vertical cylinder considering both waves and currents in the low frequency region. This paper presents a process for deriving analytical solutions for the drift forces acting on a fixed vertical cylinder considering waves and currents. The area of the cylinder was considered by dividing it into a splash zone above the free surface and a submerged zone below the free surface. The presence of waves is considered only in the Splash Zone, and in the case of waves and currents, the equations were obtained for both the splash and submerged zones. The results show that drift forces occur due to the significant viscous effects in both the splash zone and the submerged zone. Therefore, the analytical solutions derived in this study can be used to calculate the drift force using the given design variables and form a theoretical basis for judging whether the magnitude of the drift force in each case has a dominant influence within a specific physical range.
