This paper introduces an innovative hybrid array consisting of both permanent and electro magnets. It will enable us to develop an active control mechanism for underdamped electro-dynamic suspension (EDS) Maglev systems. The proposed scheme is based on the Halbach array configuration which takes the major technical advantage from the original Halbach characteristics: a strongly concentrated magnetic field on one side of the array and a cancelled field on the opposite side. In addition, the unique feature of the proposed concept only differs from the Halbach array with permanent magnets. The total magnetic field of the array can be actively controlled through the current of the electro-magnet's coils. As a result, the magnetic force produced by the proposed hybrid array can also be controlled actively. This study focuses on the magnetic characteristics and capability of the proposed array as compared to the basic Halbach concept. The results show that the proposed array is capable of producing not only an equivalent suspension force of the basic Halbach permanent magnet array but also a controlled mode. Consequently, the effectiveness of the proposed array confirms that this study can be used as a technical framework to develop an active control mechanism for an EDS Maglev system.

At present, the Department of Energy (DOE) in Unite State are directing the efforts of developing accident tolerant fuel (ATF) technology. As the first barrier of nuclear fuel system, the material selection of fuel rod cladding for ATFs is a basic but very significant issue for the development of this concept. The advanced cladding is attractive for providing much stronger oxidation resistance and better in-pile behavior under sever accident conditions (such as SBO, LOCA) for giving more coping time and, of course, at least an equivalent performance under normal condition. In recent years, many researches on in-plie or out-pile physical properties of some suggested cladding materials have been conducted to solve this material selection problem. Base on published literatures, this paper introduced relevant research backgrounds, objectives, research institutions and their progresses on several main potential claddings include triplex SiC, FeCrAl and MAX phase material Ti3SiC2. The physical properties of these claddings for their application in ATF area are also reviewed in thermohydraulic and mechanical view for better understanding and simulating the behaviors of these new claddings. While most of important data are available from publications, there are still many relevant properties are lacking for the evaluations.

해중철도는 파도와 바람의 영향을 크게 받지 않는 해중을 통과하는 터널내에 고속열차가 운행하는 철도시스템으로 수심에 관계없이 설치할 수 있고, 모듈별 육상 제작후 해상 대조립으로 건설이 가능하기 때문에 건설비용이 획기적으로 절감될 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 해중철도의 개념설계안을 소개하고 안전성 확보를 위해 해중에서 잠수함과 충돌하는 경우를 대상으로 해중철도의 구조적 거동을 해석할 수 있는 기법을 제시하고자 한다. 탄성지지된 보이론을 활용하여 해중철도 함체의 등가 질량을 계산하고 잠수함과 완전탄성 충돌시 속도를 계산하고 에너지 보존의 원리에 따라 함체의 변형량과 최대굽힘모멘트를 계산하였다. 결과의 검증을 위해 보요소를 사용하여 충돌 유한요소해석을 실시하였고, 비교를 통해 타당성을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 충돌 이론 해법은 간편하게 함체의 변형량과 최대굽힘모멘트를 계산할 수 있어 초기 설계시에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있다.

This paper presents a method for decoding high minimal distance ($d_{min}$) short codes, termed Cortex codes. These codes are systematic block codes of rate 1/2 and can have higher$d_{min}$ than turbo codes. Despite this characteristic, these codes have been impossible to decode with good performance because, to reach high $d_{min}$, several encoding stages are connected through interleavers. This generates a large number of hidden variables and increases the complexity of the scheduling and initialization. However, the structure of the encoder is well suited for analog decoding. A proof-of-concept Cortex decoder for the (8, 4, 4) Hamming code is implemented in subthreshold 0.25-${\mu}m$ CMOS. It outperforms an equivalent LDPC-like decoder by 1 dB at BER=$10^{-5}$ and is 44 percent smaller and consumes 28 percent less energy per decoded bit.

This study introduces a new algorithm to determine size independent values of fracture energy, fracture toughness, and fracture process zone length in three-point bending specimens with shallow to deep notches. By using the exact beam theory, a concept of equivalent notch length is introduced for specimens with no notches in order to predict the peak loads with acceptable precisions. Moreover, the method considers the variations of fracture process zone length and effects of higher order terms of stress field in each specimen size. In this paper, it was demonstrated that the use of some recently developed size effect laws raises some concerns due to the use of nonlinear regression analysis. By using a comprehensive fracture test data, provided by Hoover and Bazant, the algorithm has been assessed. It could be concluded that the proposed algorithm can facilitate a powerful tool for size effect study of three-point bending specimens with different notch lengths.

In this article, the Strain Energy Density (SED) averaged over a well-defined control volume at a notch edge was applied in combination with the Equivalent Material Concept (EMC) to assess the fracture behaviors of some keyhole-notched specimens made of a High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE-PE80) material under mixed-mode loading conditions. An experimental program was performed and 54 new experimental data were totally provided. Additionally, different loading mode ratios were regarded by changing the inclination angles of the notches with respect to the applied load directions. The results obtained from the determined criteria were in good agreement with those of the experimental data.

The early -age behavior of base restrained reinforced concrete (RC) walls is analyzed using a three-dimensional finite element method in this study. After calculating the temperature and internal relative humidity variations of an RC wall, determination of stresses due to thermal gradients, differential drying shrinkage, and average drying shrinkage is followed, and the relative contribution of these three stress components to the total stress is compared. The mechanical properties of early-age concrete, determined from many experimental studies, are taken into consideration, and a discrete reinforcing steel derived using the equivalent nodal force concept is also used to simulate the cracking behavior of RC walls. In advance, to Predict the crack spacing and maximum crack width in a base restrained RC wall, an analytical model which can simulate the post-cracking behavior of an RC tension member is introduced on the basis of the energy equilibrium before and after cracking of concrete.

본 연구에서는 등가재령개념에 의한 적산온도방법을 이용하여 플라이애쉬를 사용한 초지연 콘크리트의 응결시간 예측방법을 제시하였다. 플라이애쉬 치환 및 초지연제 혼입률 변화에 따른 양생온도별 응결시간은 초지연제 혼입률이 증가하고, 양생온도가 낮을수록 지연되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 Arrhenius의 함수에 의한 겉보기 활성화 에너지는 배합별로 약간의 차이는 존재하지만 $24{\sim}35KJ/mol$의 범위로 나타났는데, 이는 일반적인 조건에서의 겉보기 활성화 에너지값의 범위인 $30{\sim}50KJ/mol$ 보다 작은 값으로 나타났다. 플라이애쉬 치환율 및 초지연제 혼입률별 겉보기 활성화 에너지를 등가재령식에 대입한 결과 양생온도별로 거의 유사한 값으로 나타나, 응결시간 예측에 등가재령에 의한 적산온도 방법이 효과적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 아울러 등가재령 및 플라이애쉬 치환율 변화에 따른 초지연제 혼입량 추정에 관한 다중상관 회귀 모델을 제안하여 응결시간 및 초지연제 첨가량을 결정할 수 있도록 하였고 회귀 모델에 의한 해석 예측치와 실측치 간에 매우 양호한 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안된 초지연제 혼입률 및 플라이애쉬 치환율별 응결시간 예측 모델은 실무현장에서 초기재령 콘크리트의 응결 시간 평가에 보다 합리적인 품질관리 방법으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The energy management of an HEV using optimal control and global optimization is thought to be closest to the best operation of the system. However, there are some controversies on the ways of defining the optimization problems and constituting the optimal control simulators. Here, we presented a simulator which adopts the concept of equivalent fuel economy and leads the vehicle to run in a more efficient way. In order to realize the optimal operation of the HEV and check the validity of the control logics, we also developed a forward-facing simulator. The simulator was developed with the Cruise and MATLAB co-simulation interface. Especially, neural network controller was used for the hybrid control module in the simulator. With the simulator, the optimal operation could be converted into hybrid control rules and the validity of the operation was verified.

본 논문에서는 4차 손상유효 tensor를 이용하여 유한 탄소성변형에 대한 운동학적인 손상해석이 소개된다. 이는 뼈대구조에서의 연속체 손상역학의 유효응력개념을 통하여 이루어진다. 소규모 변형율상태에만 적용할 수 있는 등가변형율 혹은 에너지법과는 달리 제안된 운동학적인 방법은 유효변형율과 유한변형율에 적용할 수 있는 소규모 변형상태에 있어서의 손상탄소성변형율 사이의 관계를 제공한다. 이는 실제 형상과 가상의 유효형상 모두에 대한 변형장의 운동학을 직접 고려하여 수행된다. 이 방법은 등가변형율이나 변형율 에너지 경우처럼 소규모 변형율에 한정되지 않으며, 유한변형율에 대한 에너지등가의 가정과 일치함을 보여준다. 본 논문에서는 손상이 탄소성영역에서 운동학적으로 표현되며, 손상유효 tensor는 2차 손상 tensor를 통해 손상을 운동학적 측정값이 항으로 특징지워진다.
