Real-time hybrid testing (RTHT) involves virtual splitting of the structure into two parts: physical substructure that contains the key region of interest which is tested in a laboratory and numerical substructure that contains the remaining part of the structure in the form of a numerical model. This paper numerically assesses four step-by-step integration methods (Central difference method (CDM), Operator splitting method (OSM), Rosenbrock based method (RBM) and CR-integration method (CR)) which are widely used in RTHT. The methods have been assessed in terms of stability and accuracy for various realistic damping ratios of the physical substructure. The stability is assessed in terms of the spectral radii of the amplification matrix while the accuracy in terms of numerical damping and period distortion. In order to evaluate the performance of the methods, five carefully chosen examples have been studied - undamped SDOF, damped SDOF, instantaneous softening, instantaneous hardening and hysteretic system. The performance of the methods is measured in terms of a non-dimensional error index for displacement and velocity. Based on the error indices, it is observed that OSM and RBM are robust and performs fairly well in all the cases. CDM performed well for undamped SDOF system. CR method can be used for the system showing softening behaviour. The error indices indicate that accuracy of OSM is more than other method in case of hysteretic system. The accuracy of the results obtained through time integration methods for different damping ratios of the physical substructure is addressed in the present study. In the presence of a number of integration methods, it is preferable to have criteria for the selection of the time integration scheme. As such criteria are not available presently, this paper attempts to fill this gap by numerically assessing the four commonly used step-by-step methods.

본 연구에서는 HVPE(Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy)를 이용하여 각각 다른 V/III ratio를 가지는 multi-step의 성장 시간 변화에 따라 r-plane 사파이어 위에 성장되는 a-plane GaN 에피층의 결정성에 대하여 연구하였다. 또한 이번 연구의 결과를 선행 연구에서 single-step으로 r-plane 사파이어 위에 성장시킨 a-GaN 에피층의 결과와 비교하였다. Multi-step으로 r-plane 사파이어 위에 a-plane GaN 에피층을 성장시켰을 때, source HCl의 유량과 성장 시간이 증가함에 따라 a-plane GaN 에피층에 대한 rocking curve의 FWHM(Full Width at Half Maximum) 값이 감소하였다. 높은 source HCl의 유량을 갖는 first step과 second step의 성장 시간과 source HCl의 유량이 증가할수록 a-plane GaN 에피층 내부의 void가 감소하였다. 결과적으로 first step과 second step의 성장 시간이 가장 긴 조건에서 성장된 a-plane GaN 에피층이 가장 낮은 FWHM 값인 584 arcsec을 가지며, azimuth angle의 의존도가 가장 적은 것으로 확인되었다.

본 연구의 목적은 컨테이너터미널에서 사용되는 다기능 이송차량을 위한 2단계 배차전략을 제시하는 것이다. 2단계 배차는 실시간 위치 제어를 사용하여 이송차량과 크레인간의 대기시간을 절감시키기 위한 방법이다. 배차 1단계는 실시간 위치정보를 바탕으로 목적지 위치를 할당하는 것이며, 기존의 실시간 배차에서 이용되는 방식에 모니터링을 보안한 것이다. 배차 2단계는 이송차량의 싣기, 놓기, 집기 등의 기능을 작업장소의 작업상황에 따라 선택하여 작업지시를 내리는 것이다. 다기능 이송차량의 2단계 배차전략은 하역시스템의 대기시간을 감소시켜 생산성 향상에 기여할 것이다.

In a power system, an out-of-step condition causes a variety of risk such as serious damage to system elements, tripping of loads and generators, mal-operation of relays, etc. Therefore, it is very important to detect the out-of-step condition and take a proper measure. Several out-of-step detection methods have been employed in relays until now Mo,;t common method used for an out-of-step detection is based on the transition time through the blocking impedance area in R-X diagram. Also, the R-R dot out-of- step relay, the out-of-step prediction method and the adaptive out-of-step relay using the equal area criterion (EAC) and Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) technology have been developed. This paper presents the out-of-step detection algorithm using the time variation of the complex power. The complex power is calculated and the mechanical power of the generator is estimated by using the electrical power, and then the out-of-step detection algorithm, which is based on the complex Power and the estimated mechanical power, is presented. This algorithm, may detect the instant when the generator angle passes the Unstable Equilibrium Point (UEP). The proposed out-of-step algorithm is verified and tested by using Alternative Transient Program/Electromagnetic Transient Program (ATP/EMTP) MODELS.

In this paper, we slightly improve the Baby-step Giant-step for certain elliptic curves. This method gives the running time improvement of $200\%$ in precomputation (Baby-step) and requires half as much storage as the original Baby-step Giant-step method.

We propose a speedy two-step deposit process to form an Au electrode on hole transport layer(HTL) without any damage using a general thermal evaporator in a perovskite solar cell(PSC). An Au electrode with a thickness of 70 nm was prepared with one-step and two-step processes using a general thermal evaporator with a 30 cm source-substrate distance and $6.0{\times}10^{-6}$ torr vacuum. The one-step process deposits the Au film with the desirable thickness through a source power of 60 and 100 W at a time. The two-step process deposits a 7 nm-thick buffer layer with source power of 60, 70, and 80 W, and then deposits the remaining film thickness at higher source power of 80, 90, and 100 W. The photovoltaic properties and microstructure of these PSC devices with a glass/FTO/$TiO_2$/perovskite/HTL/Au electrode were measured by a solar simulator and field emission scanning electron microscope. The one-step process showed a low depo-temperature of $88.5^{\circ}C$ with a long deposition time of 90 minutes at 60 W. It showed a high depo-temperature of $135.4^{\circ}C$ with a short deposition time of 8 minutes at 100 W. All the samples showed an ECE lower than 2.8 % due to damage on the HTL. The two-step process offered an ECE higher than 6.25 % without HTL damage through a deposition temperature lower than $88^{\circ}C$ and a short deposition time within 20 minutes in general. Therefore, the proposed two-step process is favorable to produce an Au electrode layer for the PSC device with a general thermal evaporator.

The degree of dispersion of a random variable can be described by the variance, which reflects the distance of the random variable from its mean. However, the time complexity of the traditional variance calculation algorithm is O(n), which results from full calculation of all samples. When the number of samples increases or on the occasion of high speed signal processing, algorithms with O(n) time complexity will cost huge amount of time and that may results in performance degradation of the whole system. A novel multi-step recursive algorithm for variance calculation of the time-varying data series with O(1) time complexity (constant time) is proposed in this paper. Numerical simulation and experiments of the algorithm is presented and the results demonstrate that the proposed multi-step recursive algorithm can effectively decrease computing time and hence significantly improve the variance calculation efficiency for time-varying data, which demonstrates the potential value for time-consumption data analysis or high speed signal processing.

The finite element analysis for porous media is severe job because constituents have different physical peoperties, and element's continuity and stability should be considered. Thus, we propose the new mixed finite element method in order to overcome the problems. In this method, multi time step, remeshing step, and sub iteration step are introduced. The multi time step and remeshing step make it possible to satisfy a stability and an accuracy during sub iteration in which global time is determined. Finally, the proposed method is compared with the ABAQUS(2007) software and exact solution(Schiffman 1967) through two dimensional consolidation model.

The technology of Semi-Solid Forging(SSF) has been actively developed to fabricate near-net shape products using light and hardly formable materials. Generally, the SSF process is composed of slug heating,forming,compression holding and ejecting step. After forming step in SSF, the slug is comperssed during a certain holding time in order to be completely filled in the die cavity and be accelerated in solidification rate. This paper presents the analysis of temperature,solid fraction and shrinkage at compression holding step for a cylindrical slug,then predicts the solidification time to obtain the final shaped part. Enthalpy-based finite element analysis is performed to solve the heat transfer problem considering phase change in solidification.
