  • For fine grained soils of 10 samples around coast areas in Korea, classified into three regions of West Coast, Kyungnam and Jeonnam, settling-consolidation tests of 161 were performed to evaluate characteristics of sedimentation and consolidation during dredging and reclamation and characteristic values proposed from Yano's method (1985) were used to analyze and assess their characteristics in this research. The settling-consolidation tests with columns of 1m in height were performed, changing initial water content and initial height of slurry, for 4, 3, and 3 samples from regions of West Coast, Kyungnam, and Jeonnam respectively. From test results effect of initial water content on coefficient of consolidation-sedimentation and initial velocity of sedimentation were analyzed, and regression equations having correlation between them were derived. The void ratios at initiating consolidation were analyzed on each samples and suggested regression equations for three regions. In addition, as a result of analyzing relation between initial void ratio of slurry and void ratio at initiating selfweight consolidation, expected ranges of void ratio at initiating consolidation for fine-grained soils from three regions of Korea coast could be proposed.

  • This paper proposes an optimal robust LQ-PID controller design method for the second order systems to satisfy the design specifications in time domain. The tuning parameters of LQ-PID controller are determinated by the relationships between the design parameters of the overshoot and the settling time which are design specifications in time domain, and the weighting factors Q and R in LQR. we can achieve the performance-robustness in time domain as well as the stability-robustness.

  • To provide the appropriate direction for development of transient control in a gasoline engine, transient performance analysis and evalution under four accelerating types based on typical driver's acceleration type were implemented by experimental study. In order to evaluate the characteristics of transient performance quanititatively, the concept and method by transient response specifications were introduced. Several performance parameters in terms of engine speed(RPM), manifold absolute pressure(MAP), fuel injection duration($\DeltatI_{nj}$) and air excess ratio($\lambda$) were emasured simultaneously during the four types of the throttle valve opening with the step motor controlled by PC. The result showed that transient response specifications in terms of delay time, rising time and settling time characterized the transient performance for four acceleration types quantitatively. Intensified acceleration type was most economical and linear acceleration type revealed the best emission performance.

  • In the persent study, we conducted numerical experiments using a three-dimensional baroclinic equation model and a Lagrangian method for clarifying the hydrodynamics in Osaka Bay under the yearly mean discharge and visualizing the behaviour of particles of different settling velocity discharged from Yodo River and sedimentation pattern on the sea bottom. Particles are transported from the Yodo River to the south direction by the residual circulation of the bay head at the first stage, and after most of suspended solids particles are settled down at any layer and returned in the south-east coastal area through bottom layers by an estuarine circulation. The results show that estuarine circulation plays an important part of suspended solids transportation in the Osaka Bay.

  • In a high performance motor driving system, PI controller which is simple implementation is frequently used. But, PI controller has various problems because of an integrator saturation. Therefore, the various methods of an anti-windup have been studied to solve such problems. But, conventional anti-windup methods have still problem with large overshoot and long settling time in the driving conditions. In this paper, to improve such problem, it is proposed a new anti-windup strategy. Using LPF and PI controller, it is improved an overshoot and reduced settling time. Simulation results have verified usefulness of the proposed method using MATLAB/Simulink.

  • Because the residual vibration of a gun barrel acts negatively on the firing of a large calibers gun, the fast stabilization of theresidual vibration is indispensible to the precise and successive firing. In this study, the residual vibrations of a gun barrel carrying a bore evacuator and a muzzle brake are investigated by the experimental method. The influence of the eigenfrequencies and the mode shapes of gun barrel on the fast stabilization of the residual vibration is studied for the various masses of bore evacuator and muzzle brake, the possition of bore evacutor. Also the relationships between the funcamental frequencies and the settling times of the gun barrel are investigated for the various parameters. The experiments to reduce the residual vibration using the viscoelastic damping treatment gives the best result among the various treatments for the reduction of residual vibration of the system.

  • In this study, Mg-Sericite was used as a flocculant to harvest freshwater microalgae, Chlorella. vulgaris. Mg-Sericite separated successfully >95% of the C. vulgaris at the following optimal parameters: Mg/Si mol ratio 1.25 to 1.50, mixing time of 20 min and settling time of 20 min. The harvesting efficiency was pH dependent. The highest harvesting efficiency ($99{\pm}0.3%$) was obtained at Mg/Si mol ratio 1.5 and pH 9 to 11. These results indicated that a biopolymer, Mg-Sericite, can be a promising flocculant due to its high efficiency, low dose requirements, short mixing and settling times. This harvesting method is helpful to lower the production cost of algae for biodiesel.

  • This paper presents sedimentation and consolidation characteristics of dredged soils mixed with sand materials through the self-weight consolidation tests adopting stepwise filling method. After completely throwing away dredged soils daily by flour kinds of S-C, which is the quantity of sand contained, results fi:om laboratory tests are compared with those from a new method using hyperbolic, which considers stage settling and consolidating characteristics, and those from the existing analyzing method. Liquid limit up to 65% had a large effect on consistency properties. Assuming that the settlement occurred only by clay content of dredged soils, it is shown that the clay void ratio is less than 2 and 4 respectively in case S-C is 0% and 50%. In the applied hyperbolic method, reinitialized curve has a linear behavior of a coefficient of correlation of almost 1, and the coefficient of slope and intercept except fur the specimen with the height of 10cm and 20cm had a tendency to fellow exponent function and a shape of zone settling and dispersing settling. The results computed by the applied hyperbolic method rather than the existing analyzing method coincide with those of laboratory tests. It is shown that the former is more suitable than the latter for the area considering the influence, of sand materials.
