The submerged floating tunnel (SFT) is tethered by mooring lines anchored to the seabed, therefore, the structural integrity of the anchor should be sensitively managed. Despite their importance, reaction forces cannot be simply measured by attaching sensors or load cells because of the structural and environmental characteristics of the submerged structure. Therefore, we propose an effective method for estimating the reaction forces at the seabed anchor of a submerged floating tunnel using a structural pattern model. First, a structural pattern model is established to use the correlation between tunnel motion and anchor reactions via a deep learning algorithm. Once the pattern model is established, it is directly used to estimate the reaction forces by inputting the tunnel motion data, which can be directly measured inside the tunnel. Because the sequential characteristics of responses in the time domain should be considered, the long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm is mainly used to recognize structural behavioral patterns. Using hydrodynamics-based simulations, big data on the structural behavior of the SFT under various waves were generated, and the prepared datasets were used to validate the proposed method. The simulation-based validation results clearly show that the proposed method can precisely estimate time-series reactions using only acceleration data. In addition to real-time structural health monitoring, the proposed method can be useful for forensics when an unexpected accident or failure is related to the seabed anchors of the SFT.

The current study is dedicated to design a novel coordinated controller to effectively increase power system rotor angle stability. In doing so, the coordinated design of an AVR (automatic voltage regulator), PSS2B, and TCSC (thyristor controlled series capacitor)-based POD (power oscillation damping) controller is proposed. Although the recently employed coordination between a CPSS (conventional power system stabilizer) and a TCSC-based POD controller has been shown to improve power system damping characteristics, neglecting the negative impact of existing high-gain AVR on the damping torque by considering its parameters as given values, may reduce the effectiveness of a CPSS-POD controller. Thus, using a technologically viable stabilizer such as PSS2B rather than the CPSS in a coordinated scheme with an AVR and POD controller can constitute a well-established design with a structure that as a high potential to significantly improve the rotor angle stability. The design procedure is formulated as an optimization problem in which the ITSE (integral of time multiplied squared error) performance index as an objective function is minimized by employing an IPSO (improved particle swarm optimization) algorithm to tune adjustable parameters. The robustness of the coordinated designs is guaranteed by concurrently considering some operating conditions in the optimization process. To evaluate the performance of the proposed controllers, eigenvalue analysis and time domain simulations were performed for different operating points and perturbations simulated on 2A4M (two-area four-machine) power systems in MATLAB/Simulink. The results reveal that surpassing improvement in damping of oscillations is achieved in comparison with the CPSS-TCSC coordination.

In this study, a Volterra system for the variations of metacentric height (GM) in waves is employed to simulate the parametric roll phenomena of ships in head sea condition. Using the present Volterra system, the transfer function of each harmonic component in the GM variation is computed for different ship models, including mathematical models and a real containership, and the results are validated through the comparison with the values obtained using the direct calculations based on a weakly nonlinear time-domain method. Then, a semi-analytic approach employing a 1-degree of freedom equation for roll motion is developed to simulate the parametric roll motions in irregular waves. In the derived approach, the nonlinear and time-varying restoring forces in the waves are approximated using the Volterra system. Through simulations of the parametric roll for different sea states, the effects of the 1st and 2nd-order harmonic components of the variations in the occurrence and amplitude of the parametric roll motions are investigated. Because of the strong nonlinearities in the phenomena, a stochastic analysis is conducted to examine the statistical properties of the roll motions in consideration of the sensitivities and uncertainties in the computations.

VARTM공정에서는 수지유동을 빠르게 하기 위해 투과촉진층이 사용되는데 투과촉진층과 섬유층 사이의 수지 속도차가 크다. VARTM제품은 길이에 비해서 두께가 얇으나 두 가지 다른 유통 매질 사이에 발생하는 lead-lag 유통을 관찰하기 위해서는 두께 방향을 고려한 3차원해석이 요구된다. 그런데 3차원 해석에 있어서 계산 시간이 문제가 된다. 일반 PC로 절점수가 많은 3차원 문제를 해석하려면 오랜 시간이 소요되므로 비실용적이다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 dual-scale 기법을 도입하여 전체 영역은 2.5차원으로 해석하고 주요한 관심 영역만을 3차원으로 해석하였다. 2.5차원 시뮬레이션만으로 예측하기 어려운 lead-lag 유동과 같은 특이한 유동 경향을 국부적인 3차인 해석을 통해서 발견학 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 global-local 해석기술은 일반 PC에서 적당한 계산 시간 내에 균일하지 않은 유동 매질 사이를 지나는 유동흐름의 특성 분석에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다.

When a front head of train enters a tunnel at a high speed, compression wave is generated at tunnel entrance due to the confinement effect and propagated along the tunnel with sound of speed. The propagated compression wave is reflected at tunnel exit due to abrupt pressure change at passage. The reflected wave is expansion pressure wave. And when the rear head of train goes through the tunnel entrance, another expansion pressure wave is generated and propagated along the tunnel. The pressure drop occurs seriously around train when the two expansion pressure waves come cross on train in the tunnel. In order to reduce the pressure drop, the compression wave front must be controlled because the intensity and magnitude of pressure drop is nearly proportional to that of compression wave at tunnel entrance. This study relates to reduction of the pressure wave gradient with respect to tunnel entrance shape change with various kind of angle and rounding. The results show characteristics of wave propagation in tunnel, usefulness of characteristic curve to estimate proper time domain size in numerical study and measuring time in actual experiment. Also rounding is contributed to improve pressure wave front even if its radius is very small at tunnel entrance. In order to improve of pressure wave front at tunnel entrance, proper angle is prefered to rounding with big radius and an angle of around 14$^{\circ}$ is recommended according to this simulations, And it is expected to reduce additional pressure drop in tunnel when the location and the size of the internal space for attendant equipment are considered in advance.

The flyback converter, which can be regarded as a nonlinear time-varying system, has complex dynamics and nonlinear behaviors. These phenomena can affect the stability of the converter. To simplify the modeling process and retain the information of the output capacitor branch, a special sampled-data model of a peak current-mode (PCM) controlled flyback converter is established in this paper. Based on this, its dynamic behaviors are analyzed, which provides guidance for designing the circuit parameters of the converter. With the critical stability boundary equation derived by a Jacobian matrix, the stable operation range with a varied output capacitor, proportional coefficient of error the amplifier, input voltage, reference voltage and slope of the compensation ramp of a PCM controlled flyback converter are investigated in detail. Research results show that the duty ratio should be less than 0.5 for a PCM controlled flyback converter without ramp compensation to operate in a stable state. The stability regions in the parameter space between the output capacitor and the proportional coefficient of the error amplifier are enlarged by increasing the input voltage or by decreasing the reference voltage. Furthermore, the ramp compensation also can extend to the stable region. Finally, time-domain simulations and experimental results are presented to verify the theoretical analysis results.

This paper describes a recurrent neural network (RNN) for the fault classification of a blade pitch system of a spar-type floating wind turbine. An artificial neural network (ANN) can effectively recognize multiple faults of a system and build a training model with training data for decision-making. The ANN comprises an encoder and a decoder. The encoder uses a gated recurrent unit, which is a recurrent neural network, for dimensionality reduction of the input data. The decoder uses a multilayer perceptron (MLP) for diagnosis decision-making. To create data, we use a wind turbine simulator that enables fully coupled nonlinear time-domain numerical simulations of offshore wind turbines considering six fault types including biases and fixed outputs in pitch sensors and excessive friction, slit lock, incorrect voltage, and short circuits in actuators. The input data are time-series data collected by two sensors and two control inputs under the condition that of one fault of the six types occurs. A gated recurrent unit (GRU) that is one of the RNNs classifies the suggested faults of the blade pitch system. The performance of fault classification based on the gate recurrent unit is evaluated by a test procedure, and the results indicate that the proposed scheme works effectively. The proposed ANN shows a 1.4% improvement in its performance compared to an MLP-based approach.

목적 : 자기공명영상(MRI)에서 두부영상촬영을 위하여 가장 많이 사용되는 birdcage RF (Radiofrequency) 코일의 RF B1 필드가 코일 중앙부에서 endring영역으로 갈수록 줄어드는 것을 볼 수 있다. Birdcage RF 코일에서 endcap 쉴드가 코일 중앙부에서 endring영역으로 갈수록 RF B1 필드 균질성에 얼마나 영향을 주는지에 대하여 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법 : Lowpass, highpass, hybrid birdcage RF 코일들에 대해 각각 FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) 모의실험으로 RF B1 자속밀도 분포를 비교하였다. 모의 실험결과 RF Bl 필드가 가장 높은 조건인 highpass birdcage RF코일을 선택하여 RF코일 endring 근처에 endcap 쉴드를 적용함으로써 RF B1 균질성에 얼마나 영향이 있는 지 조사하였다. 결과 : FDTD모의실험결과 highpass birdcage RF코일은 코일 내부에서 RF B1 필드가 lowpass나 hybrid 형태의 birdcage RF 코일들 보다 우수하나 코일 중앙부에서 endring 영역까지의 균질성은 떨어졌다. 그러나 highpass birdcage RF 코일에 endcap 쉴드를 적용하면 hybrid birdcage RF 코일의 RF B1 필드와 비슷한 수준이면서 sagittal 방향의 전체적인 RF B1 균질성은 우수하였다. 결론 : 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 임상에서 MRI자장의 세기가 커질수록 RF코일 내부의 RF B1 균질성이 현저히 떨어지는 문제점이 있는데 이를 개선하는데 적용 할 수 있다고 사료된다.
