Targeting a floating wave and offshore wind hybrid power generation system (FWWHybrid) designed in the Republic of Korea, this study examines the impact of the interaction, with multiple wave energy converters (WECs) placed on the platform, on platform motion. To investigate how the motion of WECs affects the behavior of the FWWHybrid platform, it was numerically compared with a scenario involving a 'single-body' system, where multiple WECs are constrained to the platform. In the case of FWWHybrid, because the platform and multiple WECs move in response to waves simultaneously as a 'multi-body' system, hydrodynamic interactions between these entities come into play. Additionally, the power take-off (PTO) mechanism between the platform and individual WECs is introduced for power production. First, the hydrostatic/dynamic coefficients required for numerical analysis were calculated in the frequency domain and then used in the time domain analysis. These simulations are performed using the extended HARP/CHARM3D code developed from previous studies. By conducting regular wave simulations, the response amplitude operator (RAO) for the platform of both single-body and multi-body scenarios was derived and subsequently compared. Next, to ascertain the difference in response in the real sea environment, this study also includes an analysis of irregular waves. As the floating body maintains its position through connection to a catenary mooring line, the impact of the slowly varying wave drift load cannot be disregarded. To assess the influence of the 2^nd-order wave exciting load, irregular wave simulations were conducted, dividing them into cases where it was not considered and cases where it was included. The analysis of multi-degree-of-freedom behavior confirmed that the action of multiple WECs had a substantial impact on the platform's response.

This paper concerns computational response predictions when a tuned mass damper is intended to be used for the suppression of vortex shedding induced vibrations of e.g., a bridge deck. A general frequency domain theory is presented and its application is exemplified on a suspension bridge (where vortex shedding vibrations have been observed and where such an installation is a possible solution). Relevant load data are taken from previous wind tunnel tests. In particular, the displacement response statistics of the tuned mass damper as well as the bridge deck are obtained from time domain simulations, showing that after the installation of a TMD peak factors between three and four should be expected.

The power steering system for vehicles is becoming essential for supporting the steering efforts of the drivers, especially for the parking lot maneuver Although hydraulic power steering has been widely used for years, its efficiency is not high enough. The problems associated with a hydraulic howe. steering system can be solved by a motor driven power steering (MDPS) system. In this study, a dynamic model and a control algorithm for the ball screw type of MDPS system have been derived and analyzed by using the method of discrete modeling technology. To improve steering feel and power steering characteristics, two derivative gains are added to the conventional power boosting control algorithm. Through simulations, the effects of the control gain on the steering angle gain were verified in the frequency domain. The steering returnability and steering torque phase lag in on-center handling test were also evaluated in the time domain.

This paper discusses a time domain controller, LQR, and a frequency domain controller, H₂, for optimal control of civil structures under seismic loads. Numerical simulations are performed on a three-story structure with Active Mass Driver (AMD), which is experimentally identified. Control effectiveness of each controller for the suppression of third floor acceleration responses is investigated when the similar maximum control force is used. Simulation results indicate that LQR is effective for acceleration response reduction while H₂ controller is efficient for utilizing control force.

Numerical simulations of 1D Burgers equation and 2D sloshing problem were carried out to study numerical discrepancy between serial and parallel computations. The numerical domain was decomposed into 2 and 4 subdomains for parallel computations with message passing interface. The numerical solution of Burgers equation disclosed that fully explicit boundary conditions used on subdomains of parallel computation was responsible for the numerical discrepancy of transient solution between serial and parallel computations. Two dimensional sloshing problems in a rectangular domain were solved using OpenFOAM. After a lapse of initial transient time sloshing patterns of water were significantly different in serial and parallel computations although the same numerical conditions were given. Based on the histograms of pressure measured at two points near the wall the statistical characteristics of numerical solution was not affected by the number of subdomains as much as the transient solution was dependent on the number of subdomains.

An efficient dynamic response analysis mettled of structures supported by resilient mounts is presented by using the structural synthesis method in frequency domain and time domain. As a numerical example, a mount-deck system is considered. Through numerical simulations, the validity of the presented method is verified by comparison of the results with those of the 'traditional' analysis method.

The multilayer perceptron, trained by the error back-propagation learning rule, has been known as a mapping network which can represent arbitrary functions. However depending on the complexity of a function and the initial weights of the multilayer perceptron, the error back-propagation learning may fall into a local minimum or a flat area which may require a long learning time or lead to unsuccessful learning. To solve such difficulties in training the multilayer perceptron by standard error back-propagation learning rule, the paper proposes a learning method which progressively enlarges the learning domain from a small area to the entire region. The proposed method is devised from the investigation on the roles of hidden nodes and connection weights in the multilayer perceptron which approximates a function of one variable. The validity of the proposed method was illustrated through simulations for a function of one variable and a function of two variable with many extremal points.

선박 거주구역에 화재발생 시 화재시뮬레이션 도구를 이용하여 화재확산형상을 실시간으로 예측하고 상황에 따른 적절한 대응방안을 제시할 수 있다면 화재사고로 인한 인명피해를 최소화시킬 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 오늘날 화재시뮬레이션은 해석대상공간의 크기와 그리드 개수에 따라 해석을 하는데 있어, 매우 장시간을 필요로 하는 현실적 한계가 있다. 이에 이 연구에서는 화재시뮬레이션 시간단축을 목적으로 선박 거주구역 화재시뮬레이션에 적용할 수 있는 격자크기와 생성방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과 선박 거주구역에 적용되는 격자크기는 0.25[m] 이내의 값을 사용하는 것이 가장 효율적인 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 single mesh 격자생성방법으로 수행했을 경우와 비교하여, multi mesh 격자생성방법으로 시뮬레이션을 수행하였을 때 가시거리 값은 4.3 %, 온도 값은 8.3 % 이내에서 유사하고 해석시간은 약 80 % 감소하였기 때문에, multi mesh 방법으로 격자를 생성하는 것이 해석시간을 단축하는데 있어 매우 효과적임을 확인하였다.

불포화토에서 물의 흐름은 함수비 특성곡선과 투수계수 특성곡선(permeability-suction relation ship)이라 불리우는 두 방정식에 의해서 영향 받는다. 함수비 특성곡선은 체적함수비와 석션(suction)간의 관계를 나타내는 방정식이다. 많은 연구자들은 특성곡선식들을 제시해 왔다. 이 논문은 불포화토에서 물의 흐름을 분석할 때 특성곡선식들을 정확하게 결정하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 보여준다. 비교목적을 위해서 두 방법 즉, Gardner (1958)에 의해서 제시된 특성곡선식들과 Fredlund (1994) 의해서 제시된 특성곡선식들이 사용된다. 이 두 방법을 사용하여 유한요소법에 의한 물 흐름의 수치해석이 수행된다. 수치해석 결과들은 미 Ohio주 Delaware County에 있는 TDR (Time-domain reflectometry) 계측기로부터 얻어진 현장 데이터와 비교된다. 이 데이터는 전략적 고속도로 연구 프로그램(Strategic Highway Research Program)의 한 부분으로 포함된 계절 계측 프로그램(Seasonal Instrumentation Program)에 의해 얻어졌다.

The objective of this paper is to propose a new efficient technique for the estimation of time-delay parameters using wavelet theory and third-order cumulants, yielding good performance even in the case of low SNR. In particular, band-limited non-Gaussian signals with non-zero skewness and spatially correlated Gaussian noises are considered here. The approach is based on the fact that the effects of spatially correlated Gaussian noises on time-delay estimation can be reduced by using the projection sequences (based on the redundant wavelet decomposition) of given measurements in the higher-order cumulant domain. Finally, the performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated using simulations.
