The majority of instrumentation and control (I&C) systems in today's nuclear power plants (NPPs) are based on analog technology. Thus, most existing I&C systems now face obsolescence problems. Existing NPPs have difficulty in repairing and replacing devices and boards during maintenance because manufacturers no longer produce the analog devices and boards used in the implemented I&C systems. Therefore, existing NPPs are replacing the obsolete analog I&C systems with advanced digital systems. New NPPs are also adopting digital I&C systems because the economic efficiencies and usability of the systems are higher than the analog I&C systems. Digital I&C systems are based on two technologies: a microprocessor based system in which software programs manage the required functions and a programmable logic device (PLD) based system in which programmable logic devices, such as field programmable gate arrays, manage the required functions. PLD based systems provide higher levels of performance compared with microprocessor based systems because PLD systems can process the data in parallel while microprocessor based systems process the data sequentially. In this research, a bistable trip logic in a reactor protection system (RPS) was developed using very high speed integrated circuits hardware description language (VHDL), which is a hardware description language used in electronic design to describe the behavior of the digital system. Functional verifications were also performed in order to verify that the bistable trip logic was designed correctly and satisfied the required specifications. For the functional verification, a random testing technique was adopted to generate test inputs for the bistable trip logic.

본 논문에서는 Rayleigh파, 전단파 및 압축파의 영향을 동시에 해석할 수 있는 주파수 종속 무한요소와 이를 이용한 지반-구조물의 동적상호작용의 해석법에 대하여 연구하였다. 방사적으로 전파되는 응력파의 성분에 대한 무한요소와 아울러 매립(Embedded)기초나 적층(Layered)지반을 해석하기 위하여 수평으로 전파되는 파를 해석할 수 있는 무한요소를 개발하였고, 요소행렬 구성하기 위한 적분시 하나의 파성분만 존재하는 경우에 대하여 효율적으로 적용되었던 Newton Cotes 적분과 유사한 방법을 Multi-Waves 문제에 알맞게 확장 적용하였다. 이 방법의 타당성은 반무한, 균질 지만의 위에 놓여있는 원형강판과 지반에 묻혀 있는 원통형 강체기초의 Compliance 함수를 구하여 기존의 문헌에 발표된 값과 비교함으로써 검증하였다. 예제해석은 지진하중을 받는 원자력발전소 격납구조를 대상으로 하여 수행하였으며, 매립깊이의 크기, 지반의 재료감쇠 및 지반의 모형기법에 따른 구조물-지반의 상호작용의 해석결과를 비교 분석하였다.

기존 CA(Certificate Authority)에서 인증서의 유효기간 및 클라이언트에서 폐지한 CRI (Certificate Revocation Information)를 관리하는데 있어서 많은 문제점이 있었다. 이를 해결하기 위한 여러 연구들이 행하여졌으나, 클라이언트 측면에서 인증서의 상태 정보를 실시간으로 검증할 수 있기에는 미흡하였다. 본 논문은 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위하여 분산 OCSP(On-line Certificate Status Protocol) 환경에서 새로운 CRI 운영 모델을 제안한다. CRL(Certificate Revocation Lists)을 분할하여 여러 OCSP 서버에게 최신의 CRL을 중복시키고, 그 외 CRL은 각 서버들에게 중복하여 분산시킨다. 이로써 기존의 CA의 병목현상을 줄이고, 전송되는 CRL의 크기도 효과적으로 줄임으로써 클라이언트가 인증서 상태를 실시간으로 검증할 수 있다.

After strong earthquakes conventional frames used worldwide in multi - story steel buildings (e.g. moment resisting frames) are not well positioned according to reparability. Two innovative systems for seismic resistant steel frames incorporated with dissipative fuses were developed within the European Research Program "FUSEIS" (Vayas et al. 2013). The first, FUSEIS1, resembles a vertical Vierendeel beam and is composed of two closely spaced strong columns rigidly connected to multiple beams. In the second system, FUSEIS2, a discontinuity is introduced in the composite beams of a moment resisting frame and the dissipative devices are steel plates connecting the two parts. The FUSEIS system is able to dissipate energy by means of inelastic deformations in the fuses and combines ductility and architectural transparency with stiffness. In case of strong earthquakes damage concentrates only in the fuses which behave as self-centering systems able to return the structure to its initial undeformed shape. Repair work after such an event is limited only to replacing the fuses. Experimental and numerical investigations were performed to study the response of the fuses system. Code relevant design rules for the seismic design of frames with dissipative FUSEIS and practical recommendations on the selection of the appropriate fuses as a function of the most important parameters and member verifications have been formulated and are included in a Design Guide. This article presents the design and performance of building frames with FUSEIS 1-1 based on models calibrated on the experimental results.

Laser Propulsion is a device that generates thrust using laser energy. Laser-driven In-Tube Accelerator (LITA) has been developed at Tohoku University. LITA is a laser propulsion system that accelerates an object not in an open air but in a tube. Experiments of vertical launching and pressure measurement on the tube wall were carried out and in order to observe the initial state of plasma and blast wave, the visualization experiment was carried out using the shadowgraph method. In this study, the time variation of pressure on the tube wall is numerically simulated solving Euler equation. In order to model the laser energy, heat source function added to the frozen flow Euler equation. Plasma size from the shadowgraph images was used for the initial condition of laser energy input. For verification of the modeling, these results were compared with the previous experimental and numerical results. From these verifications, an analysis of LITA performance will be investigated.

Semi-active isolation systems based on leverage-type stiffness control strategies have been widely studied. The main concept behind this type of system is to adjust the stiffness in the isolator to match the fundamental period of the isolated system by using a simple leverage mechanism. Although this system achieves high performance under far-field earthquakes, it is unsuitable for near-fault strong ground motion. To overcome this problem, this study considers the potential energy effect in the control law of the semi-active isolation system. The minimal energy weighting (MEW) between the potential energy and kinetic energy was first optimized through a series of numerical simulations. Two MEW algorithms, namely generic and near-fault MEW control, were then developed to efficiently reduce the structural displacement responses. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, a two-degree-of-freedom structure was employed as a benchmark. Numerical results indicate that the dynamic response of the structure can be effectively dampened by the proposed MEW control under both far-field and near-fault earthquakes, whereas the structural responses resulting from conventional control methods may be greater than those for the purely passive control method. Moreover, according to experimental verifications, both the generic and near-fault MEW control modes yielded promising results under impulse-like earthquakes. The practicability of the proposed control algorithm was verified.

소유역 강우-유출모형으로서 유출함수법을 대폭 개선한 선형저수지 강우-유출 체계를 수립하였다. 매개변수의 수는 6개이고 수문학적 손실은 일정량의 초기손실과 일정비의 후기손실로 계산하며 추적식은 해석적으로 유도하였다. 변수추정은 Hooke and Jeees 방법에 의한 자동추정법을 사용하였다. 이를 서면과 문막 수위표의 '84∼'89년 홍수에 적용하여 모형을 검증하였다. 매개변수중 초기손실은 선행강우의 영향을 받으나 이를 고려하지 않았으므로 이에 대한 연구가 필요하고 실시간 예측시 주요 매개변수를 선택하는 방법도 보완되어야 한다.

This paper describes the use of fuzzy control and decision making to simulate the control of traffic flow at an intersection. To show the value of fuzzy logic as an alternative method for control of traffic environments. A traffic environment includes the lanes to and from an intersection, the intersection, vehicle traffic, and signal lights in the intersection. To test the fuzzy logic controller, a computer simulation was constructed to model a traffic environment. A typical cross intersection was chosen for the traffic environment, and the performance of the fuzzy logic controller was compared with the performance of two different types of conventional control. In the hardware verifications, fuzzy logic was used to control acceleration of a model train on a circular path. For the software experiment, the fuzzy logic controller proved better than conventional control methods, especially in the case of highly uneven traffic flow between different directions. On the hardware si e of the research, the fuzzy acceleration control system showed a marked improvement in smoothness of ride over crisp control.

This research article presents a novel approach based on an instantaneous active and reactive power component (p-q) theory for generating reference currents for shunt active filter (SHAF). Three-phase reference current waveforms generated by proposed scheme are tracked by the three-phase voltage source converter in a hysteresis band control scheme. The performance of the SHAF using the p-q control strategy has been evaluated under various source conditions. The performance of the proposed control strategy has been evaluated in terms of harmonic mitigation and DC link voltage regulation. In order to maintain DC link voltage constant and to generate the compensating reference currents, we have developed Fuzzy logic controller with different (Trapezoidal, Triangular and Gaussian) fuzzy M.F.s. The proposed SHAF with different fuzzy M.F.s is able to eliminate the uncertainty in the system and SHAF gains outstanding compensation abilities. The detailed simulation results using MATLAB/SIMULINK software are presented to support the feasibility of proposed control strategy. To validate the proposed approach, the system is also implemented on a real time digital simulator and adequate results are reported for its verifications.
