A DC distributed power system(DPS) has many loads with varied functions. In particular, there may be large pulsed toads with short duty ratio, which can affect the normal operation of other loads. In this paper, a bi-directional converts with inductive storage is used as a DC bus conditioner to damp voltage transients on the bus. In addition, the constant frequency hysteresis control technique for a DC bus conditioner is presented. A simple and fast prediction of the hysteresis band-width is implemented by the phase-lock loop control, keeping constant switching frequency. This technique offers the excellent dynamic response in load or parameter variation. The control performance is illustrated by simulated results with the SABER package. The proposed hysteresis control results in the shortest and the smallest excursions.

This study investigates the reliability of the performance levels of moment resisting steel frames subjected to lateral loads such as wind and earthquake. The reliability assessment has been performed with respect to three performance levels: serviceability, damageability, and ultimate limit states. A four-story moment resisting frame is used as a typical example. In the reliability assessment the uncertainties in the loadings and in the capacity of the frame have been considered. The wind and earthquake loads are assumed to have lognormal distribution, and the frame resistance is assumed to have a normal distribution. In order to obtain an appropriate limit state function a linear relation between the loading and the deflection is formed. For the reliability analysis an algorithm has been developed for determination of limit state functions and iterations of the first order reliability method (FORM) procedure. By the method presented herein the multivariable analysis of a complicated reliability problem is reduced to an S-R problem. The procedure for iterations has been tested by a known problem for the purpose of avoiding convergence problems. The reliability indices for many cases have been obtained and also the effects of the coefficient of variation of load and resistance have been investigated.

In constructions of dams and ports structure, gravels are used as principle structural materials. Gravels have different material property compared with other materials like soil and concretes, etc. For example, material properties of gravels obtained from normal triaxial compression test are usually overestimated due to scale and penetration effects. Also, material properties of gravels under dynamic loads are the main interest when structural behavior of rockfill dam under earthquake loads is analyzed. The development of large triaxial compression apparatus is needed for the better estimation of material property of gravel. This paper reports work in progress to development of large triaxial compression apparatus.

This paper deals with frequency control of demand users that have power plants by under-frequency relay. The demand users supply electrical power to a part of their loads by their power plants and to other rest of their loads by utility. While electrical power supply is stopped by faults of utility network, the system of demand users network is separated from total power system and their system frequency goes below normal limits. In this paper, this situation and the effect of under-frequency relay application are simulated by EMTDC.

This paper shows that the presence of constant impedance loads and induction motors in power system's loading contents can lead to transient voltage instabilities during normal system manipulations such as switchings. The abnormal induction motor characteristics during system transients which initiate the voltage instabilities are illustrated. The influence of motor and network parameters, such as motor inertia mechanical load quantity and nature on the severity of the voltage instability are studied.

This paper deals with the sealing mechanism of the gasket component and the effects of design parameters for the exhaust manifold. The finite element model includes hot-end exhaust system and a simplified gasket model supplied by ABAQUS software. The mechanical behaviors of bead and body of a gasket are measured after several times of cyclic loads by gasket supplier. From the finite element analysis due to the cyclic thermal loads, the flange of exhaust manifold shows thermal expansion and contraction in longitudinal direction as well as convex and concave deformations with respect to the engine cylinder head. And, the contact pressures of the gasket beads suddenly changes by normal deformation of inlet flanges. Therefore, the magnitudes of contact pressures could be used to determine the sealing characteristics of the exhaust gas in the exhaust system. The distributions of contact pressures in gasket bead lines shows a good agreement with the engine test results.

Distribution system is one of large and complicated sytem, consisted of a great number of components. Therefore efficient operation based on precise analysis and computation methods is indispensable accommodating growing loads. This paper describes an optimal operation problem to relieve overload flow in radial distribution systems by using modified block model. The problem is formulated as a network problem of synthesizing the optimal spanning tree in a graph, branch and bound method is used for the optimization. Especially modified block model proposed in this paper is validated more practical than conventional model. These methods can be applied to two types of distribution system problems such as, 1) planning problem to check the capability of relieving overload at normal rating, 2) emergency operation problem to determine switching scheme for minimizing customer loads affected by a fault. Examples of application to these problems are discussed.

Acoustic emission (AE) sensor was used to evaluate the wear-life of CrN-coated steel disks with 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and 4 $\mu\textrm{m}$ coating thickness. The relationship between Af and friction signal from scratch test and sliding test was investigated. The first spatting of CrN film was detected by AR signals in the early stage of coating failures, and overall failures by friction signals. Therefore, the conservative design for coating-life should be done using the results of AE signals. Using the percent contact load, the ratio of sliding normal load to the critical scratch load and the number of cycles to failure was measured to predict the wear-life of CrN film. On the wear-life dia-gram the percent contact loads and the number of cycles to failure showed a good linear relationship on the log coordinate. As the load percentage was decreased, the diagram showed that the wear-limits, at which the coated steels survived more than 35,000 cycles, were about 4∼5% of the critical scratch loads.

An integrated system of GIS and water quality model was suggested including the pollutant loads from the watershed. The developed system consits of two parts. First part is the information on landuse and several surface factors concerning the overland flow processes of water and pollutants. Second part is the modeling modules which include storm event pollutant load model(SEPLM), non-storm event pollutant load model(NSPLM), and river water quality simulation model(RWQSM). Models can calculate the pollutant load from the study area. The databases and models are linked through the interface modules resided in the overall system, which incorporate the graphical display modules and the operating scheme for the optimal use of the system. The developed system was applied to the Chungju multi-purpose reservoir to estimate the pollutant load during the four selected rainfall events between 1991 and 1993, based upon monthly basis and seasonal basis in drought flow, low flow, normal flow and wet flow.

The multi-stage deep-drawing processes including normal-drawing, reverse-drawing, and re-drawing are analyzed by use of the rigid-plastic finite element method. Computational results on the punch/die loads and thickness distributions were compared with the experiments of the current drawing processes. Deep-drawing processes of the redesigned shell to improve the specific strength and stiffness were simulated with the numerical method developed. With varying several process parameters such as blank size, corner radii of tools, and clearances, the simulation results showed the improvements in reducing the forming loads. Also forming defects were found during simulation and appropriate blank size could be verified.
