A force cancelling observed to control the vibration of a single degree of freedom elastic system subjected to an arbitrary, unmeasurable disturbance is considered in this paper. The main idea of a force cancelling observer is how an estimate of the excitation can be derived and used to generate a control force which reduces the vibration. This control is shown to be robust with respect to the parameters describing the behavior of the system. Experimental and numerical results are presented which show the efficacy of the observer when the system is excited by periodic, random, and impulsive torques.

We propose a new approach to the feature selection for the classification of handwritten characters using two-dimensional(2D) wavelet packet bases. To extract key features of an image data, for the dimension reduction Principal Component Analysis(PCA) has been most frequently used. However PCA relies on the eigenvalue system, it is not only sensitive to outliers and perturbations, but has a tendency to select only global features. Since the important features for the image data are often characterized by local information such as edges and spikes, PCA does not provide good solutions to such problems. Also solving an eigenvalue system usually requires high cost in its computation. In this paper, the original data is transformed with 2D wavelet packet bases and the best discriminant basis is searched, from which relevant features are selected. In contrast to PCA solutions, the fast selection of detailed features as well as global features is possible by virtue of the good properties of wavelets. Experiment results on the recognition rates of PCA and our approach are compared to show the performance of the proposed method.

Using isogeometric analysis(IGA) gives more accurate results for higher order mode in eigenvalue problem than using the finite element method(FEM). This is because the FEM has $C^0$ continuity between elements, whereas IGA guarantee $C^{P-1}$ between elements for p-th order basis functions. In this paper, a mode based reduced model is constructed by using IGA and dynamic behavior analysis is performed using this advantage. Craig-Bampton(CB) method is applied to construct the reduced model. Several numerical examples were performed to compare the eigenvalue analysis results for various order of element basis function by applying the IGA and FEM to simple rod analysis. We have confirmed that numerical error increases in the higher order mode as the continuity between elements decreases in the IGA by allowing internal knots multiplicity. The accuracy of the solution can be improved by using the IGA with high inter-element continuity when high-frequency external force acts on the reduced model for dynamic behavior analysis.

This paper proposed a novel broadband ceramic dielectric antenna by improving the conventional broadband technique that very high permittivity material is attaching to one side of low permittivity material. The broadband ceramic dielectric antenna can be designed by using our proposed method, and it overcomes the disadvantage of narrow bandwidth problem. For the proposed ceramic dielectric antenna, a 10 dB return-loss bandwidth of 33.9% has been achieved. The measurement and numerical results(Finite Element Method) are performed and confirmed to a good agreement with each other. The proposed ceramic dielectric antenna is designed and implemented to extend enough the coverage of dual band (PCS+IMT-2000).

During the shape optimization, relocations of nodes happen successively. However, excessive movement of nodes often results in the mesh distortion and eventually deteriorates the accuracy of the optimum solution. To overcome this problem, an efficient method lot the shape optimization has been developed. The method starts from the design domain which is large enough to hold the possible shape of the structure. The design domain has pre-defined uniform fine meshes. In each cycle, the method allots real properties to the elements inside the structure and nearly zero to ones outside. The performance of the method is evaluated through two examples with displacement and frequency constraints.

Design sensitivity analysis and topology design optimization for a piezoelectric crystal resonator are developed. The piezoelectric crystal resonator is deformed mechanically when subjected to electric charge on the electrodes, or vice versa. The Mindlin plate theory with higher-order interpolations along thickness direction is employed for analyzing the thickness-shear vibrations of the crystal resonator. Thin electrode plates are masked on the top and bottom layers of the crystal plate in order to enforce to vibrate it or detect electric signals. Although the electrode is very thin, its weight and shape could change the performance of the resonators. Thus, the design variables are the bulk material densities corresponding to the mass of masking electrode plates. An optimization problem is formulated to find the optimal topology of electrodes, maximizing the thickness-shear contribution of strain energy at the desired motion and restricting the allowable volume and area of masking plates. The necessary design gradients for the thickness-shear frequency(eigenvalue) and the corresponding mode shape(eigenvector) are computed very efficiently and accurately using the analytical design sensitivity analysis method using the eigenvector expansion concept. Through some demonstrative numerical examples, the design sensitivity analysis method is verified to be very efficient and accurate by comparing with the finite difference method. It is also observed that the optimal electrode design yields an improved mode shape and thickness-shear energy.

Reduction scheme is remarkably useful in the case requiring the repeated calculation procedure. Recently, the efficiency of the reduction scheme has been improved by combining scheme of sub-domain method. But, when the global domain is partitioned into a few sub-domains, sub-domains without constraints can be produced. it is needed to extract the ritz vector from each sub-domain to construct the reduced system of each sub-domain. it is easy to extract the ritz vector from sub-domain with constraint. on the other hand, pseudo inverse method should be employed to extract the ritz vector from sub-domain without constraint. generally, the pseudo inverse takes a large number of computing time to obtain a reduced system of a sub-domain without boundary condition. This trouble can be overcome by the reduced pseudo inverse scheme which proposed in this study. This scheme is based on the static condensation that is not related with selection of the primary degrees of freedom. Numerical examples demonstrate that present method saves computational cost effectively and predicts the accurate eigenvalues.

In this paper, we present a GA(Genetic Algorithm) approach to select weighting matrices of an optimal LQ(Linear Quadratic) controller for SVC(Static VAR Compensator). A SVC, one of the FACTS(Flexible AC Transmission System), constructed by a FC(Fixed Capacitor) and a TCR(Thyristor Controlled Reactor), was designed and implemented to improve the damping of a synchronous generator, as well as to control the system voltage Also, a design of LQ controller depends on choosing weighting matrices. The selection of weighting matrices which is not a trivial solution is usually carried out by trial and error. We proposed an efficient method using GA of finding weighting matrices for optimal control law. Thus, we proved the usefulness of proposed method to improve the stability of single machine-infinite bus with SVC system by eigenvalues analysis and simulation.

In this present study, in order to update the finite element model considering the boundary conditions, a method has been proposed. The conventional finite element model updating method, updates the finite element model by using the dynamic characteristics (natural frequency, mode shape) which can be estimated from the ambient vibration test. Therefore, prediction of the static response of an actual structure is difficult. Furthermore, accurate estimation of the physical properties is relatively hard. A novel method has been proposed to overcome the limitations of conventional method. Initially, the proposed method estimates the rotational spring constant of a finite element model using the deflection of structure and the rotational displacement of support measurements. The final updated finite element model is constructed by estimating the material properties of the structure using the finite element model with updated rotational spring constant and the dynamic characteristics of the structure. The proposed finite element model updating method is validated through numerical simulation and compared with the conventional finite element model updating method.
