This paper presents an efficiency of various non-conforming (NC) modes in development of a series of new finite elements with the special emphasis on 4-node quadrilateral elements. The NC modes have been used as a key scheme to improve the behaviors of various types of new finite elements, i.e., Mindlin plate bending elements, membrane elements with drilling degrees of freedom, flat shell elements. The NC modes are classified into three groups according to the 'correction constants' of 'Direct Modification Method'. The first group is 'basic NC modes', which have been widely used by a number of researchers in the finite element communities. The basic NC modes are effective to improve the behaviors of regular shaped elements. The second group is 'hierarchical NC modes' which improve the behaviors of distorted elements effectively. The last group is 'higher order NC modes' which improve the behaviors of plate-bending elements. When the basic NC modes are combined with hierarchical or higher order NC modes, the elements become insensitive to mesh distortions. When the membrane component of a flat shell has 'hierarchical NC modes', the membrane locking can be suppressed. A number of numerical tests are carried out to show the positive effect of aforementioned various NC modes incorporated into various types of finite elements.

A procedure is formulated, in this paper, to compute the bifurcation modes born by the stability change of normal modes, and to compute the forced responses associated with bifurcation modes in inertially and elastically coupled nonlinear oscillators. It is assumed that a saddle-loop is formed in Poincare map at the stability chage of normal modes. In order to test the validity of procedure, it is applied to one-to-one internal resonant systems in which the solutions are guaranteed within the order of a small perturbation parameter. The procedure is also applied to the exact system in which normal modes are written in exact form and the stability of normal modes can be exactly determined. In this system the stability change of normal modes occurs several times so that various types of bifurcation modes are created. A method is described to identify a fixed point on Poincare map as one of bifurcation modes. The limitations and advantage of proposed procedure are discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to carry out Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and use criticality in order to determine risk priority number of the components of electric power installations in Engineering college building of D university. In risk priority number, GROUP A had 7 failure modes; more specifically, Transfomer had 4 modes, Filter(C)(1 mode), LA(1 mode), and CB(MCCB)(1 mode), and thus 4 components had failure modes. In terms of criticality, high-grade group a total of 16 failure modes, and 7 components-LA(1 mode), CB(MCCB)(1 mode), MOF(2 modes), PT(1 mode), Transformer(7 modes), Cable(3 modes), and Filter(C)(1 mode)-had failure modes. Comparison of risk priority number and criticality was made. The components which had high risk priority number and high criticality were Transformer, Filter(C), LA, and CB(MCCB). The components which had high criticality were MOF and cable. In particular, Transformer(RPN: 4 modes, Criticality: 7 modes) was chosen as an intensive management component.

We have investigated the coupling characteristics of localized modes of line defect i.e., guided modes, in photonic crystals. The parity of the coupled guided modes is not conserved when the distance between the line defects changes. By comparing the coupling characteristics of localized modes without the oscillatory nature such as cavity modes of metallic Fabry-Parot cavities with those of localized modes in photonic crystals, we confirmed that this parity nonconservation is attributed to the oscillatory nature of the evanescent waves of localized modes in photonic crystals.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of eigen modes by modal analysis and the application of approximate eigen modes for continuum. This study proposes the appropriate selection technique of eigen modes by modal analysis and the method for the reasonable survey of post-buckling path. And the buckling characteristics of a latticed dome is studied by the application of these approximate eigen modes which have sufficient accuracy and praticallity for response analysis in symmetric and anti-symmetric state of continuous shell. To prove the effectiveness of eigen modes and application of approximate eigen modes for continuum, these results are compared with those of direct method.

This study investigated the relation between parents' verbal control modes and children's maladjustment. The subjects were 445 mothers and their children of sixth grade in elementary schools located in Seoul. To assess the parents' verbal control modes, questionnaire developed by Lee Kyung Hee(1993) was used. The modified version of Achenbach and Edelbrock's CBCL(Child Behavior Checklist) was administered to assess the children's maladjustment. The results were as follows : 1)Significant differences were found in parents' verbal control modes in terms of children's sex difference and social status level. 2) Significant differences were found in children's maladjustment in terms of children's sex difference and social status level. 3) There was a significant correlation between father's verbal control modes and children's maladjustment. Children's maladjustment was related positively to imperative mode and negatively to the person-oriented and position-oriented modes. The best variable explaining girl's maladjustment was father's position-oriented modes. 4) The negative impact of father's imperative mode in combination with the mother's imperative mode on the children's adjustment was greater than other combinations of the father and mother's verbal control modes.

Any mechanical system has a natural oscillation which can be excited, and the earth is no exception. The earth can oscillate in an indefinite number of normal modes of oscillation, rather like a giant bell. The various free modes are generally sparated into two categoridal modes and toroidal modes. Clearly the toroidal modes will produce no perturvation of the gravity field and no vertical acceleration on the surface of the earth. Hence only spheroidal modes can be detected with a gravimeter. EarthTide gravimeter was installed at AIMST in order to observe free modes of the earth. Eight major earthquakes including chinese earthquake (magnitude 7.3) with free oscillations of the earth are observed during one year (1998. 8. 1∼1999.7.31). And then the earth tides components were eilminated from earthquake records using a numerical Butterworth highpass filter. Spectral analysis of gravity readings repersent that 48 observations of shheroidal modes. The relationships between instrumental observations and theoretical predictions based on the Gutenberg earth model agree well those resulting from free oscillation in Korea.

다중 파괴모드에 대한 경사제 제체의 시스템적 안정성을 신뢰성 이론으로 해석하였다. 먼저 경사제의 안정성과 관련된 네 개의 단일 파괴모드에 대한 신뢰함수가 수립되었다. 각각의 단일 파괴모드에 대한 AFDA 신뢰성 해석 모형이 개발되었으며, CIAD(1985)의 결과와 비교하여 만족스럽게 검증하였다. 단일 파괴모드에 대한 신뢰성 해석에서는 파괴확률 뿐만 아니라 파괴확률에 영향을 미치는 각 확률변수들의 영향계수를 산정하였다. 한편 경사제의 다중 파괴모드에 대한 신뢰성 해석을 수행하기 위해 세 가지, 일차해석법, 이차해석법 그리고 PNET, 해석법이 적용되었다. 해석 결과에 의하면 일차해석법은 파괴확률을 과다 추정하는 경향이 있다. 따라서 다중 파괴모드를 해석할 때는 각 파괴모드간의 상관성을 고려할 수 있는 이차해석법이나 PNET 해석법을 이용하는 것이 바람직하다. 마지막으로 파괴모드간의 상관성에 기인하는 파괴확률의 추가적인 발생 가능성을 다중 파괴모드 해석을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다.

In piezoelectric flexible structures, the contribution of vibration modes to the dynamic response of system may change with the location of piezoelectric actuator patches, which means that the ability of actuators to control vibration modes should be taken into account in the development of modal reduction model. The spatial $H_2$ norm of modes, which serves as a measure of the intensity of modes to system dynamical response, is used to pick up the modes included in the reduction model. Based on the reduction model, the paper develops the state-space representation for uncertain flexible tructures with piezoelectric material as non-collocated actuators/sensors in the modal space, taking into account uncertainties due to modal parameters variation and unmodeled residual modes. In order to suppress the vibration of the structure, a dynamic output feedback control law is designed by imultaneously considering the conflicting performance specifications, such as robust stability, transient response requirement, disturbance rejection, actuator saturation constraints. Based on linear matrix inequality, the vibration control design is converted into a linear convex optimization problem. The simulation results show how the influence of vibration modes on the dynamical response of structure varies with the location of piezoelectric actuators, why the uncertainties should be considered in the reductiom model to avoid exciting high-frequency modes in the non-collcated vibration control, and the possiblity that the conflicting performance specifications are dealt with simultaneously.

In this article we present a new, reference model based, unified strategy for engine control. Three main modes are considered: first is the driver control mode where the driver controls the engine via the pedal position; second is the dashpot mode, that is, when the driver takes his foot off the pedal; and, lastly is the idle speed control mode. These modes are unified so that seamless transitions between modes now becomes possible. The unification is achieved due to the introduction of a reference model for the engine speed whereby only the desired engine speed is different for different modes while the structure of the control system remains the same for all the modes. The scheme includes an observer that estimates unknown engine load torque. A proof of robustness with respect to unknown load disturbances both within the operating modes and during intermode transitions is given.
