This study proposes a new scheme for the sampled-data representation of nonlinear systems with time-delayed multi-input. The proposed scheme is based on the Taylor-series expansion and zero-order hold assumption. The mathematical structure of a new discretization scheme is explored. On the basis of this structure, the sampled-data representation of nonlinear systems including time-delay is derived. The new scheme is applied to nonlinear systems with two inputs and then the delayed multi-input general equation is derived. The resulting time-discretization provides a finite-dimensional representation of nonlinear control systems with time-delay enabling existing controller design techniques to be applied to them. In order to evaluate the tracking performance of the proposed scheme, an algorithm is tested for some of the examples including maneuvering of an automobile and a 2-DOF mechanical system.

Rolling-sliding, cyclic contact of wheel and rail progressively alters the microstructure of the contacting steels, eventually leading to micro-scale crack initiation, wear and macro-scale crack growth in the railhead. Relating the microstructural changes to subsequent wear and cracking is being accomplished through modelling at three spatial scales: (i) bulk material (ii) multi-grain and (iii) sub-grain. The models incorporate detailed information from metallurgical examinations of used rails and tested rail material. The initial 2-dimensional models representing the rail material are being further developed into 3-dimensional models. Modelling is taking account of thermal effects, and traffic patterns to which the rails are exposed.

원자력발전소의 다차원 이상 유동 현상을 적절히 모사하기 위해 일차원 계통해석 코드에 삼차원 유동모델을 적용하였다. 그 중 다차원모델에 새롭게 적용된 이상 난류모델을 검증하기 위해 사각 slab 내부의 단상유동을 계산하여 상용 CFD 코드의 계산결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 단상유동의 경우 난류 모델의 계산이 적절히 수행됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 다차원 이상 유동 계산을 검증하기 위해서 RPI에서 수행된 물-공기 다차원 실험의 기포율 분포를 비교하였다. 그 결과 다차원 모델의 이상 유동 계산을 위해서는 일차원 기반의 유동양상 맵 중 수평 분리 유동양상이 제거되어야 함을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같이 유동양상 맵을 수정하여 모사한 계산결과가 실험에서 측정된 기포율의 경향을 잘 따르는 것으로 계산되었다.

One of the characteristics of both on-line analytical processing(OLAP) applications and decision support systems is to provide aggregated source data. The purpose of this study is to discuss on the aggregation of multi-dimensional data. In this paper, we (1) examine the SQL aggregate functions and the GROUP BY operator, (2) introduce the Data Cube and MDX, (3) present an example for the practical usage of the Data Cube and MDX using sample data.

In this paper, the observability of the INS/GPS integrated system for a land vehicle is analyzed on measurements and different filters with respect to the measurements are designed. In the stationary case, it is shown that horizontal accelerometer biases and vertical attitude errors and gyro biases are unobservable. An 8-state filter is designed based on the observability analysis. When GPS signal is available, a 15-state filter is used with position and velocity measurements. To estimate the INS errors even in the case that GPS signal is blocked a filter is designed in consideration of the non-holonomic constraints of a land vehicle. In this case, the horizontal position and velocity errors and vertical attitude error are unobservable. However, a 12-state filter including the velocity states is designed to estimate the accelerometer biases. When GPS signal recovers, a 9-state filter is used excluding the sensor biases. This paper presents a multi-dimensional filter that switches the four filters according to the usable measurements and maneuver environments. A simulation is carried out to verify the performance of the proposed filter.

본 논문에서는 심볼간의 간섭이 존재하는 채널에서 고정 지연 값을 가지는 트리검색 신호검출기의 효율적인 구성방법을 다룬다. 이 접근방법은 효율적인 다차원 신호공간 분할에 기반을 두고 있다 다차원 공간에서의 Voronoi 다이어그램 (VoD)과 Delaunay 분할 (DT)이 신호검출 알고리즘의 구현에 적용된다 제안된 방식에서는 VOD/DT에 포함되어 있는 기하학적인 정보를 활용하여 관찰된 순차적인 신호의 상대적인 위치가 결정되며 이러한 방식이 구현치 복잡도를 감소시키는 장점이 있음을 보인다. 구체적인 구성 절차가 심볼간의 간섭이 존재하는 통신채널에서의 예를 가지고 논의되며 시뮬레이션 결과가 논의된다.

This article describes the analysis of stable grasping for multi-fingered robot. An analysis method of stable grasping, which is based on the three-dimensional acceleration convex polytope, is proposed. This method is derived from combining dynamic equations governing object motion and robot motion, force relationship and acceleration relationship between robot fingers and object's gravity center through contact condition, and constraint equations for satisfying no-slip conditions at every contact points. After mapping no-slip condition to torque space, we derived intersected region of given torque bounds and the mapped region in torque space so that the intersected region in torque space guarantees no excessive torque as well as no-slip at the contact points. The intersected region in torque space is mapped to an acceleration convex polytope corresponding to the maximum acceleration boundaries which can be exerted by the robot fingers under the given individual bounds of each joints torque and without causing slip at the contacts. As will be shown through the analysis and examples, the stable grasping depends on the joint driving torque limits, the posture and the mass of robot fingers, the configuration and the mass of an object, the grasp position, the friction coefficients between the object surface and finger end-effectors.

인터넷에서 다수의 포털 사이트들이 치열한 경쟁을 벌이고 있지만, 일반 사용자들이 각 포털 사이트를 어떻게 인식하고 있는지에 대한 연구는 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구는 인터넷 사용자들의 포털 사이트들에 대한 인식을 알아보기 위하여, 대표적인 다섯 개의 사이트들(Daum, 네이버, 구글, 네이트, 그리고 MSN) 간의 유사성 분석을 시도하였다. 다차원척도법을 활용하여 포털 사이트들 간의 차이를 개념적인 거리로 측정함으로써 각 사이트들의 상대적인 포지셔닝을 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 포털 사이트 간 전략의 차이를 가시적으로 이해하는데 중요한 의미를 지닐 것으로 기대된다.

Based on the change of traditional viscoelastic damper structure, a brand-new damper is designed to control simultaneously the translational vibration and the rotational vibration for platforms. Experimental study has been carried out on the mechanical properties of viscoelastic material and on its multi-dimensional seismic response control effect of viscoelastic damper. Three types of viscoelastic dampers with different shapes of viscoelastic material are designed to test the influence of excited frequency, strain amplitude and ambient temperature on the mechanical property parameters such as circular dissipation per unit, equivalent stiffness, loss factor and storage shear modulus. Then, shaking table tests are done on a group of single-storey platform systems containing one symmetric platform and three asymmetric platforms with different eccentric forms. Experimental results show that the simulation precision of the restoring force model is rather good for the shear deformation of viscoelastic damper and is also satisfied for the torsion deformation and combined deformations of viscoelastic damper. The shaking table tests have verified that the new-type viscoelastic damper is capable of mitigating the multi-dimensional seismic response of offshore platform.

Multi-dimensional two-phase phenomena occur in many industrial applications, particularly in a nuclear reactor during steady operation or a transient period. Appropriate modeling of complicated behavior induced by a multi-dimensional flow is important for the reactor safety analysis results. SPACE, a safety analysis code for thermal hydraulic systems which is currently being developed, was designed to have the capacity of multi-dimensional two-phase thermo-dynamic phenomena induced in the various phases of a nuclear system. To validate the performance of SPACE, a two-dimensional two-phase flow test was performed with slab geometry of the test section having a scale of $1.43m{\times}1.43m{\times}0.11m$. The test section has three inlet and three outlet nozzles on the bottom and top gap walls, respectively, and two outlet nozzles installed directly on the surface of the slab. Various kinds of two-dimensional air/water flows were simulated by selecting combinations of the inlet and outlet nozzles. In this study, two-dimensional two-phase void fraction profiles were quantified by measuring the local gap impedance at 225 points. The flow conditions cover various flow regimes by controlling the flow rate at the inlet boundary. For each selected inlet and outlet nozzle combination, the water flow rate ranged from 2 to 20 kg/s, and the air flow rate ranged from 2.0 to 20 g/s, which corresponds to 0.4 to 4 m/s and 0.2 to 2.3 m/s of the superficial liquid and gas velocities based on the inlet port area, respectively.
