This paper proposes a novel and efficient intelligent digital redesign technique for a Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy system. The term of intelligent digital redesign involves converting an existing analog fuzzy-model-based controller into an equivalent digital counterpart in the sense of state matching. In this paper, we suggest the discretization method based on the dual-rate sampling approximation is first proposed, and then attempt to globally match the states of the overall closed-loop TS fuzzy system with the pre-designed analog fuzzy-model-based controller and those with the digitally redesigned fuzzy-model-based controller. To show the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed method, a computer simulation is provided.

Negative stiffness dampers (NSDs) have been proven an efficient solution to vibration control of stay cables. Although previous studies usually assumed a linear negative stiffness behavior of NSDs, many negative stiffness devices produce negative stiffness with nonlinear behavior. This paper systematically evaluates the impact of nonlinearity in negative stiffness on vibration control performance for stay cables. A linearization method based on energy equivalent principle is proposed, and subsequently, the impact of two types of nonlinear stiffness, namely, displacement hardening and softening stiffness, is evaluated. Through the Hilbert transform (HT) of free vibration responses, the effects of nonlinear stiffness of an NSD on the modal frequencies, damping ratios and frequency response functions of a stay cable is also investigated. The HT analysis results validate the accuracy of the linearization method.

This paper develops a decomposition method for stochastic programming with a block diagonal structure. Here we assume that the right-hand side random vector of each subproblem is differente each other. We first, transform this problem into a master problem, and subproblems in a similar way to Dantizig-Wolfe's Decomposition Princeple, and then solve this master problem by solving subproblems. When we solve a subproblem, we first transform this subproblem to a Deterministic Equivalent Programming (DEF). The form of DEF depends on the type of the random vector of the subproblem. We found the subproblem with finite discrete random vector can be transformed into alinear programming, that with continuous random vector into a convex quadratic programming, and that with random vector of unknown distribution and known mean and variance into a convex nonlinear programming, but the master problem is always a linear programming.

We present an electro-optical voltage sensor. Crystalline bismuth germanate(BI4Ge3O12) used as the electro-opticla crystal exhibited linear birefringences of 1.7x10**-5 to 5.4x10**-4. And these birefringences were observed to be strongly temperature dependent. In order to improve the stability of the electro-opticlal voltage sensor, crystals (Bi4Ge3=12) were annealed and a compensation method was used. After applying this compensation method to the voltage sensor, the temperature stability, pressure stability, and vibration stability of the sensor were highly improved, Noise Equivalent Voltage of this sensor was a few mV/\ulcornerz.

Because the linear elastic tincture analysis has been proved to be insufficient in predicting the failure of cracked bodies, in recent years, a number of fracture concepts have been studied which remain applicable in the presence of large-scale plasticity near a crack tip. This work thereby presents a new finite element model, as accurate as possible, to analyze plane problems of ductile fracture under large-scale yielding conditions. Based on the incremental theory of plasticity, the p-version finite element analysis is employed to account for the values of J-integral, the most dominant fracture parameter, and the shape of plastic zone near a crack tip by using the J-integral method and equivalent domain integral method. The numerical results by the proposed model are compared with the theoretical solutions in literatures and the numerical solutions by the i,-version of F.E.M.

This paper presents a fuzzy-GA method to resolve dispersed generator placement for distribution systems. The problem formulation considers an objective to reduce power loss costs of distribution systems and the constraints with the number or size of dispersed generators and the deviation of the bus voltage. The main idea of solving fuzzy nonlinear goal programming is to transform the original objective function and constraints into the equivalent multi-objectives functions with fuzzy sets to evaluate their imprecise nature and solve the problem using the proposed genetic algorithm, without any transformation for this nonlinear problem to a linear model or other methods. The method proposed is applied to the sample systems to demonstrate its effectiveness.

Pneumatic cushioning cylinders are commonly employed for vibration and shock control. A mathematical simulation model of a double acting pneumatic cushioning cylinder designed to absorb shock loads is presented which is based on the following assumptions; ideal equation of state isentropic flow through a port conservation of mass polytropic thermodynamics single degree of freedom piston dynamics and energy equivalent linear damping. These differential equation can be solved through numerical integration using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method. An experimental study was conducted to validate the results obtained by the numerical integra-tion technique. Simulated results show good agreement with experimental data. The computer simulation model presented here has been extremely useful not only in understanding the has been extremely useful not only in understanding the basic cushioning but also in evaluating different designs.

An analysis method of electromagnetic coupling through an arbitrarily shaped aperture on the upper wall of parallel-plate waveguide, when excited by an electromagnetic plane wave from outside, is considered. The mixed-potential integral equation, in which Green's functions are expressed in a computationally efficient closed form by using the Prony's method and the Sommerfeld identity, is formulated. Expanding the unknown equivalent magnetic surface current in terms of two-dimensional rooftop-type basis functions and choosing razor testing, the integral equation is reduced to a linear algebraic equation, which is solved. The results are compared with the previous results. Fairly good agreements between them are observed.

The study is analyzed the thrust fon:e of moving type Linear DC Motor(MM-LDM). The MM-LDM consists of a stator (platen) and mover (forcer). One of the method for calculating tile thrust of an MM-LDM is to analyze the energy gradient which is determined by the distribution of magnet flux. However, this method is very difficult when used to calculate the thrust force of this kind of LDM. The stored energy in the MM-LDM can be obtained by measuring the self-inductance and mutual-inductance of equivalent circuit of the MM-LOM and this energy gradient gives the thrust. The calculation of thrust force included in this motor shows that the mutual inductance has large influence on the generation of thrust force.

This paper presents performance comparison between concentrated winding and distributed winding of IPMSM (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors) which is recently used for light-weight railway applications. Motors are designed on various schemes and analyzed by using FEM (Finite Element Method) instead of EMCNM (Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network Method) in order to take into account saturation and non-linear magnetic property. The overall performance such as torque, torque ripple, losses, demagnetization, efficiency, power density and so on are investigated in detail at the rated and maximum operating speed. The results of the analysis found that both concentrated and distributed winding IPMSMs are promising candidates for high power railway traction motor.
