This study was carried out to elucidate the excitatory mechanisms of Substance P in the antral circular muscle, using isometric contraction recording, conventional microelectrode method and whole-cell patch clamp technique. Substance P produced tonic and phasic contractions in a dose-dependent manner and depolarized membrane potential with increased amplitude of slow waves in muscle strips. Voltage-dependent $Ca^{2+}$ currents were increased by the application of Substance P from a holding potential of -60mV to 50mV in 10mV steps and this effect was blocked by the addition of an antagonist. Also Substance P increased transient and spontaneous oscillatory $K^+$ outward currents. The enhanced outward currents were abolished by apamin in dispersed single cells. These results suggest that the depolarization of membrane potential by Substance P activates voltage-dependent $Ca^{2+}$ channels, which represents an excitatory response in the antral circular muscle and led to an increase in $Ca^{2+}\;activated\;K^+\;currents$.

This paper investigates the equeeze film damping of a perforated planar micromechanical structure that oscillates in the normal direction to the substrate. Special focus has been places on the effect of holes and edges of the perforated planar microstructures on the squeeze film damping of oscillatory motions. Theoretical models and test structures of the squeeze film damping have been developed for the transversely oscillating perforated plates. A set of nine different test structures, having three different sized with three different numbers of perforations, has been fabricated and tested. The experimental Q-factors, measured from the fabricated test structures, are compared with the theoretical values, estimated from finite element analysis. It is found that the finite element analysis overestimates the Q-factors up to 150% of the experimental values. Major discrepancy comes from the inaccuracy of the zero pressure condition, placed by the finite element analysis along the perforated edges.

This thesis deals with study and implementation of a cross-coupling controller which can enhance the path-tracking performance of optically guided AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle). The AGV in this thesis is differential drive type and has front-side and rear-side optical sensors, which can identify the guiding path. When AGV from the path due to the inevitable error and the deviation must be corrected. It has been shown that compensation only the first term can lead to undesirable oscillatory results and even instability but compensating only the second term leads to a steady state offset error. Cross-coupling control directly minimizes the error by coordinating the motion of the two drive wheels. The cross-coupling controller is analyzed to evaluate its performance. The cross-coupling controller enhances transient performance of the controller is demonstrated by simulation and is compared with that of individual loop controller.

Fretting is the oscillatory motion with very small amplitudes, which usually occurs between two solid surfaces in contact. Fretting wear is the removal of material from contacting surfaces through fretting action. Fretting wear of steam generator tubes in nuclear power plant becomes a serious problem in recent years. The materials for the tubes usually are Inconel 690 (I-690) and Inconel 600 (I-600). In this paper, fretting wear tests for I-690 and I-600 were performed under various applied loads in water at room temperature. Results showed that the fretting wear loss of I-690 and I-600 tubes was largely influenced by stick-slip. The fretting wear mechanisms were the abrasive wear in slip regime and the delamination wear in stick regime. Also, I-690 had somewhat better wear resistance than I-600.

This paper presents a simple methodology for reducing the order of H$_{\infty}$ controllers in the mixed sensitivity control problems. The key point of this methodology is to transform the generalized plant expression to new one, where the control object and the weighting functions for the sensitivity function may have some poles on the imaginary axis. So that, this methodology makes it possible to use the standard method to solve the general H$_{\infty}$ design problems about the mixed sensitivity problems, even for a servo system or a oscillatory system. We derive that the order of H$_{\infty}$ controllers designed by this methodology may be reduced to n$_{p}$ where n$_{p}$ is the order of the denominator of the control object. It is clear that n$_{p}$ is lower than n$_{p}$ + n$_{s}$, which is the order of H$_{\infty}$ controllers obtained by the ordinary H$_{\infty}$ design method up to now, where n$_{s}$ is the order of the denominator of the weighting function for sensitivity. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the results..lts.ts..lts.lts.

다중 스월 환형 연소기의 난류 유동장을 Large Eddy Simulation(LES)와 병렬 계산 기법을 사용하여 모사하였다. 해석에 이용된 연소기 모델은 GEAE 의 LM6000 연소기이다. 연소기 내에서 와류의 생성과 소멸은 단일 인젝터 해석결과와 유사하나, 인젝터간 상호 인접구간에서의 와류의 충돌은 인젝터간 와류 강도가 다르며, 이로 인하여 복잡하고 강한 압력파가 연소실 내에 전파됨을 확인하였다. 특히 다중 스월인젝터를 모사하므로서 횡방향의 압력 진동이 수치적으로 포획되었다.

The ionic polymer-metal composite actuators with selectively grown multiple electrodes were developed to mimic the swimming locomotion of a fish. The developed method is based on combining electroplating with the electroless chemical reduction using the patterned mask. The advantages of this fabrication method are that the initial compositing between the polymer and platinum particles can be assured by the chemical reduction method, and the thickness of each electrode can be controlled easily and rapidly by electroplating. By using the fabricated actuator with a multiple degree of freedom, the oscillatory wave of the flexible membrane actuator was generated and a twisting motion was also realized to verify the possibility of mimicking the fish-like locomotion. The frequency response function was analyzed to investigate the natural frequency and the damping factor by a mechanical shaker and direct electrical excitation through the swept-sine method. Present results show that this novel method can be a promising technique to easily pattern each of multiple electrodes and to implement the biomimetic motion of the polymer actuators with good mechanical bending performance.

The results of a simulation study of variable liquid column oscillations in U-tanks with a novel control scheme are presented. The configuration under investigation is analogous to that of the tuned liquid-column damper used to suppress oscillatory motion in large structures like tall buildings and cargo ships. However, by virtue of an adequate controller, the response of amplitude of the U-tanks becomes larger in a desired frequency range. The motion of wave energy conversion system equipped with a variable liquid column oscillator is described by a series of nonlinear differential equations. The equations describe the motion of body under ocean wave excitation, and the motion of liquid with an air-spring effect caused by the compression and expansion of air in vertical liquid columns and air chambers. It is shown that the effect of the air-spring has a vital role to maintain the natural frequency of oscillation in the system to synchronize with the frequency of the ocean wave, thus the system provides the most effective mode for energy extraction from the ocean.

It is known that the non-planar model of bypass is more profitable to suppress the development of intimal hyperplasia that tends to occur preferentially in regions of low time averaged shear stress and rapid temporal changes in wall shear stress. In this study it was numerically simulated the blood flow in an coronary artery grafted by artificial bypass to determine the flow characteristic variations due to the anastomosis angle changing. 5 different non-planar anastomosis angle models such as 45°, 60°, 90°, 120° and 135° were considered. When the anastomosis angle is higher, the backward flow region is spatially extended near the downstream region of the anastomosis because of the development of horseshoes vortex. For the case of the nan-planar 45° and 60° of anastomosis, the area of low-OSI zone was decreased by 26% and 13% respectively and the time averaged wall shear stress was increased by more than 55% as compared with 45° of planar model. However, both of the area of the low-OSI zone and the time averaged wall shear stress of 90°, 120° model were significantly increased.
