It is well known that the model of nuclear reactors features natural nonlinearity, and variable parameters during power tracking operation. In this paper, a disturbance observer-based adaptive sliding mode control (DOB-ASMC) strategy is proposed for power tracking of the pressurized-water reactor (PWR) in the presence of lumped disturbances. The nuclear reactor model is firstly established based on point-reactor kinetics equations with six delayed neutron groups. Then, a new sliding mode disturbance observer is designed to estimate the lumped disturbance, and its stability is discussed. On the basis of the developed DOB, an adaptive sliding mode control scheme is proposed, which is a combination of backstepping technique and integral sliding mode control approach. In addition, an adaptive law is introduced to enhance the robustness of a PWR with disturbances. The asymptotic stability of the overall control system is verified by Lyapunov stability theory. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate that the proposed DOB-ASMC strategy has better power tracking performance than conventional sliding mode controller and PID control method as well as conventional backstepping controller.

본 연구에서는 수도권매립지의 신선한 쓰레기 매립층의 장기침하거동 특성을 규명하기 위해 매립시점부터 설치, 관리되어 온 180여개의 침하판을 대상으로 약 12년간에 걸쳐서 측정된 침하계측 결과에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 국내 매립지의 침하계측자료와 외국매립지 침하자료들을 분석한 결과 외국 매립지의 압축률보다 다소 작게 측정되고 있으나, 상당히 근접하는 압축률을 보이고 있으며, 기존 장기침하 예측 모델을 적용하여 예측된 장기침하량 분석 결과 쌍곡선 모델, Gibson and Lo의 모델은 상당히 근접한 예측 결과를 나타내었으며, Bjarngard and Edgers 침하모델과 Power Creep Law 모델의 경우 침하계측 기간 동안은 침하자료와 잘 일치되는 경향을 보이나 장기침하량을 예측할 경우 다른 침하모델들에 비해 과다 예측됨을 알 수 있었다. 이외의 다른 예측식(Sowers, 대수함수)은 본 현장에는 적합하지 않은 것으로 사료된다.

This article introduces a novel analytical model for examining the impact of porosity on shear correction factors (SCFs) in functionally graded porous beams (FGPB). The study employs uneven and logarithmic-uneven modified porosity-dependent power-law functions, which are distributed throughout the thickness of the FGP beams. Additionally, a modified exponential-power law function is used to estimate the effective mechanical properties of functionally graded porous beams. The correction factor plays a crucial role in this analysis as it appears as a coefficient in the expression for the transverse shear stress resultant. It compensatesfor the assumption that the shear strain is uniform across the depth of the cross-section. By applying the energy equivalence principle, a general expression for static SCFs in FGPBs is derived. The resulting expression aligns with the findings obtained from Reissner's analysis, particularly when transitioning from the two-dimensional case (plate) to the one-dimensional case (beam). The article presents a convenient algebraic form of the solution and provides new case studies to demonstrate the practicality of the proposed formulation. Numerical results are also presented to illustrate the influence of porosity distribution on SCFs for different types of FGPBs. Furthermore, the article validates the numerical consistency of the mechanical property changesin FG beams without porosity and the SCF by comparing them with available results.

The control performance of a vehicle installed with an MR(magnetorheological) fluid-based damper is investigated on the basis of Herschel-Bulkley shear model. Generally, most of MR fluid damper has been analyzed based on a simple Bingham-plastic shear model. However, the Bingham-plastic shear model can not well describe the behavior of the damper on the condition of high velocity and high current field input. Therefore, in this study, the Herschel-Bulkley shear model in which the constant post-yield plastic viscosity in Bingham model is replaced with a power law model dependent on shear rate is used to assess control performance of a vehicle with MR fluid damper suspension system. This study deals with a two-degree-of-freedom suspension using the MR fluid damper for a quarter car model. The response for the bump input to identify the fastness of MR fluid damper embedded skyhook controller and requested magnetic field are investigated.

In the present work, by considering the agglomeration effect of single-walled carbon nanotubes, free vibration characteristics of functionally graded (FG) nanocomposite sandwich plates resting on Pasternak foundation are presented. The volume fractions of randomly oriented agglomerated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction. To determine the effect of CNT agglomeration on the elastic properties of CNT-reinforced composites, a two-parameter micromechanical model of agglomeration is employed. In this research work, an equivalent continuum model based on the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach is employed to estimate the effective constitutive law of the elastic isotropic medium (matrix) with oriented straight CNTs. The 2-D generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) as an efficient and accurate numerical tool is used to discretize the equations of motion and to implement the various boundary conditions. The proposed rectangular plates have two opposite edges simply supported, while all possible combinations of free, simply supported and clamped boundary conditions are applied to the other two edges. The benefit of using the considered power-law distribution is to illustrate and present useful results arising from symmetric and asymmetric profiles. The effects of two-parameter elastic foundation modulus, geometrical and material parameters together with the boundary conditions on the frequency parameters of the laminated FG nanocomposite plates are investigated. It is shown that the natural frequencies of structure are seriously affected by the influence of CNTs agglomeration. This study serves as a benchmark for assessing the validity of numerical methods or two-dimensional theories used to analysis of laminated plates.

We use the non-stationary three dimensional two-layer outer gap model to explain gamma-ray emissions from a pulsar magnetosphere. We found out that for some pulsars like the Geminga pulsar, it was hard to explain emissions above a level of around 1 GeV. We then developed the model into a non-stationary model. In this model we assigned a power-law distribution to one or more of the spectral parameters proposed in the previous model and calculated the weighted phase-averaged spectrum. Though this model is suitable for some pulsars, it still cannot explain the high energy emission of the Geminga pulsar. An Inverse-Compton Scattering component between the primary particles and the radio photons in the outer magnetosphere was introduced into the model, and this component produced a sufficient number of GeV photons in the spectrum of the Geminga pulsar.

This paper presents a simple input-constrained current controller for a DC/DC boost converter with stability analysis that considers the nonlinearity of the converter model. The proposed controller is designed to satisfy the inherent input constraints of the converter under a physically reasonable assumption, which is the first contribution of this paper. The second contribution is providing a rigorous proof of the proposed control law, which keeps the closed-loop system along with the internal dynamics stable. The performance of the proposed controller is demonstrated through an experiment employing a 20-kW DC/DC boost converter.

This paper presents a new adaptive converter control approach for electric motor systems whose voltage source is excited from photovoltaic (PV) power generators. First, an electric model is represented with dynamic states and output velocity of such DC motor systems. We propose a hybrid converter control law in which a state feedback control is applied as an auxiliary control framework. Moreover, control parameter estimation is derived to realize adaptive converter systems for effective control performance against stochastic PV power excitation in practice. We carry out stability analysis for such converter system by using a well-known eigenvalue theory. Lastly, numerical simulation is conducted to test reliability of the proposed converter control approach and prove its superiority in the control point of view.

32Cyg의 B형 별 주위에 형성된 $str{\"{o}}mgren$ 구를 가정하고 공전궤도위상 0.06과 0.78에서 이론적인 선 윤곽을 계산하였다. 항성 풍의 속도분포에 따라 alfv n 파 모형의 선윤곽이 누승 함수의 속도 분포를 이용한 모형의 선 윤곽 보다 전체적으로 낮은 세기를 보였다. HII 모형은 HII 영역이 없는 경우보다 약한 선 윤곽을 보였으나 $\phi$ = 0.06에서는 HII 영역이 없는 모형이 HII 영역을 가진 모형에 비해 단지 적색편이 쪽에서만 약간의 차이를 보였다. 한편 $\phi$ = 0.79에서 HII 영역을 가진 $Alfv{\'{e}}n$ 파 모형의 선 윤곽은 적색편이와 청색 편이 쪽에서 각각 다른 속도기울기의 누승 함수 모형으로써 나타낼 수 있었다. 이는 급격한 초기 속도 기울기를 고려하여 2개의 가속영역을 가진 누승 함수 모형이라면 항성 풍의 가속과정을 고려하지 않음으로써 생기는 오차를 줄일 수 있음을 의미한다.의미한다.

The proportional pressure control valve that was used to relief valve has different dynamic characteristics on each case. Because this valve has different assembling or processing error and environmental condition. However, a customer who used the relief valve wants to have a steadily performance even if the dynamic characteristics of valve was changed. For this reason, the manufacturer try to make the robust controller that has simple structure. This paper concerns about the design of robust controller that didn't affected by plant parameter's changing. The control strategy is a model reference control that conducted by on line identification problem, gradient method and Lyapunov equation. This adaptvie control law's validity that this paper deal with was confirmed by an results of step response test or hysteresis test.
