In this paper, the stability and stabilization problems for marine vessels including surface and underwater vehicles are described. In the marine vessels, there are many and strong nonlinear parameters. These give hard design process and difficulties to us. In this article, at first we make a descriptor system representation as a controlled system to preserve the physical parameters of the system as it is. And we propose a new stability and stabilizability conditions based on the quadratic stabilization approach which gives a solution for the unreasonable problems produced by added mass. That is, the proposed conditions are not interfered with the nonsymmetric matrix constraint. And the stability condition is given by an matrix inequality such that it makes us to obtain a solution easily for something.

Since the discovery, in the 1980s, of erosion-pit-induced fractures in implanted mechanical heart valves. cavitation on the surface of mechanical heart valves has been widely studied as a possible cause of pitting. Several factors, including peak dp/dt of the ventricular pressure. maximum closing velocity of the leaflet, and squeeze flow. have been studied as indices of the cavitation threshold. In the present study. cavitation erosion on the surface of a mechanical valve was examined by focusing on squeeze flow and the water hammer phenomenon during the closing period of the valve. In this study, we measures pressure wave forms near a valve and closing velocities of a disk, which were placed in a holder with and without compliance. In case of all holders, pressure drop of below vapor pressure expect at near the surface disk. It was also found that the closing velocity of the disk increased and that cavitation erosion was enhanced too. These results suggest that disk closing velocity during the closing phase has signifiant effects on pitting erosion.

Die slide injection marvelously reduces the cost and time in processing plastic products because they can simplify the conventional process through eliminating additional process. However, this process must resolve some defects like whitening, resin infiltration, blowhole, resin overflow, etc. In this study, the process parameters of the injection molding are optimized by using the finite element method and Taguchi method. The injection molding analysis is simulated by employing the Moldflow insight 2010 code and the 2nd injection is by adopting the Multi-stage injection code. The process parameters are optimized by using the $L_{16}$ orthogonal array and smaller-the-better characteristics of the Taguchi method that was used to produce an airtight container (coolant reservoir tank) from polypropylene (PP) plastic material.rodanwhile, the optimum values are confirmed to be similar in 95% confidence and 5% significance level through analysis of variance (ANOVA). rooreover, new products and old products were compared by mdasuring the dimensional accuracy, resulting in the improvement of dimensional stability more than 5%.

사이즈 프레스용 전분은 주로 산화전분이 이용되고 있으며, 전분업체에서 공급되는 것과 제지공장에서 자가변성으로 제조하여 이용하는 것으로 나눌 수 있다. 자가변성의 경우 경제적 측면에서 원가절감이 가능한 장점이 있는 반면 전분 품질이 다소 미흡한 단점이 있다. 자가변성 산화제로는 APSCAmmonium persulfate), 효소 등이 이용된다. 효소는 APS에 비해 전분 분자 내의 1,4결합만을 가수분해 시키고 점도안정성과 전분 용액 색상이 양호한 특성을 보인다. 또한 온도/농도/점도 등의 상관성을 자유롭게 이용하여 요구하는 전분 용액 품질을 얻을 수 있다. 제지용 전분 산화용으로는 주로 알파 -아밀라아제가 이용된다.본 실험은 산화전분을 효소변성을 이용한 생전분으로 가능성을 알아보고자 진행되었다. 일차적으로 실험실에서 하였고, 몇 차례의 mill trial을 통해 효소변성 전분 적용을 최적화하고자 하였다. 실험실적으로 효소변성을 위한 반응조건으로 온도, 시간, pH, 투입량 등을 설정하였 고, 각 조건별로 제조된 전분 용액의 점도를 측정하여 효소 반응성을 평가하였다. 실험 결과 전분 용액의 점도는 낮았고, 점도 안정성 또한 양호한 수준을 보였다. Cooking농 도는 20%로 하였으나 보다 고농도 cooking의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 시트 물성도 전반적으로 산화전분 대비 대등한 수준을 나타내었다. Mill trial은 무림제지에서 실시하였고 사이즈 프레스 조제식을 이용하였다. 전분 농도는 초기에 20%로 시작하여 30%까지 올려서 trial을 실시하 였고, 그 외 작업조건들은 산화전분 적용 시와 동일하게 하였다. 효소 반응시간으로 인해 cooking시간이 다소 많이 걸렸으나 전반적인 조제 작업은 큰 문제 없이 이루어졌고, 효소변성 전분 용액의 점도는 낮은 수준으로 유지되었다. 사이즈 프레스 작업성이나 시 트 물성도 산화전분 적용 시와 대등한 수준을 보였으나, 전분 차이로 인한 색상 차이로 부가적인 염료 조정이 이루어졌다. 한편 폐수부하 증가를 우려하였으나, 이에 따른 문제는 크게 발생되지 않았다.

The modified arc-length algorithms for the automatic incremental solution of nonlinear finite element equations proposed by Riks are presented, which comprise the cylindrical arc-length method and the normal arc-length method. These methods are developed to trace the nonlinear path of large displacement problems such as a pre and post bucking/collapse response of general structures. These methods are applied to analyse the nonlinear behavior of arch and shell problems in parallel with the standard and modified Newton-Raphson method.

This paper presents the study of the bending behavior of mooring chain links for keeping the position of the offshore floating structures. In general, chain links have been thought as the axial members due to the fundamental boundary condition. But, the flexural stiffness can be induced to the contact surface between chain links when friction occurs at the surface of the chain links due to high tensile force. Especially, the mooring chains for offshore floating platforms are highly tensioned. If the floater suffers rotational motion and the mooring chain links are highly tensioned, the rotation between contact links, induced by the floater rotation, generates the bending moment and relevant stresses due to the unexpected bending stiffness. In 2005, the mooring chain links for the Girassol Buoy Platform were failed after just 5 months after facility installation, and the accident investigation research concluded the chain failure was mainly caused by the fatigue due to the unexpected bending stress fluctuation. This study investigates the pattern of the induced bending stiffness and stresses of the highly tensioned chain links by nonlinear finite element analysis.

This paper discusses about real time control applying sliding mode to robot manipulators whose nonlinear terms, which are inertia term, Corilis term and centrifugal force mterm, are regarded as disturbances. We could simplify the dynamic equations of a manipulator and servo system, which are composed of linear elements and nonlinear elements, by assuming that non-linear terms are external disturbance. By simplifying that equation, we could easily obtain a control input which satisfy sliding mode. We proposed a new control input algorithm to decrease chattering in the application of sliding mode control of manipulator whose nonlinear elements are regarded as disturbances. We could take impulse response of linear elements of dynamic equations of a robot manipulator and servo system by Signal Compression Method. So then, we could obtain the unknown parametes of its linear lements, which are used to obtain switching parameter satisfying sliding mode, by Signal Compression Method. In this experiments, we used DSP(Digital Signal Processor) controller to suppress chattering by obtaining a switching speed and to carry out real time control.

Computer games must keep the user immersed for fun. According to the immersion theory, maintaining the user's immersive state requires a continuous balance of game skill level and game difficulty level This study proposes a game skill estimation method of 9th grade that can be applied to a casual action game that can assume a zero-sum game, and additionally proposed a difficulty guessing method. The proposed methods can be implemented quickly and easily because it is a method determining by conditional mathematical expressions. Experiments on the accuracy of the proposed methods for the customized Pac-Man game show that the accuracy of the skill level was 1.2 grade as the difference on the average and the accuracy of the game difficulty level was 1.81 grade the difference on the average. The results show that the proposed methods are accurate enough to be applied to casual action games satisfying the zero-sum condition.

The elcetrodewatering filter press(EDFP) which had anode and cathod plates to be set between filter plates was built for reducing the waterworks sludge and improving performance of dewatering equipment. Several tests to compare the dewaterability with conventional mechanical filter press dewatering(MDEP) and EDFP was conducted through this equipment. As test results, filtration amount discharged from EDFP measured 43.2 kg which increased against MDFP, and cake weight measured 4 kg which was two times against MDFP. The water content of dewatered cake from EDFP was 55wt% and dewatering velocity was 2.3 $kg/m^2{\cdot}cycle$. This water content decrease 20% and dewatering velocity increased 30% with compare to the MDFP. That is to say, EDFP constructed from electrodewatering mechanism increase filtrate discharging amount, which make dewatering velocity increase and produce the low water content dewatered cake against MDFP. Energy consumption of EDFP is analysed to 400 kwh/DS ton. The results to analysis the economical aspect considering the power consumption and the handling cost decline as sludge volume reduction due to producing the low water content cake showed that expenses to handle sludge of 1 ton by dry solid base cut down on 20,000 won. If considering several test aspects, it was analysed that EDFP was excellent in the side of performance as well as economical suitability.

The objective of this research were to produce amino acids from freezing-dried brown seaweed(Undaria pinnatifida) powder by sub- and supercritical water hydrolysis and to characterize the products. The hydrolysis was carried out in a batch type reactor consisting of 4.6 cm inside diameter and $200cm^3$ vessel and stir made of Hastelloy 276. A stir inside the reactor was continuously moving at 100 rpm. Brown seaweed powder and 100 mL of 1% acetic acid in distilled water were charged into the reactor at a ratio of 1:100(w/v). The applied conditions were $180{\sim}374^{\circ}C$, respectively for 1 hour. The total amino acid content was found to be significantly higher in brown seaweed hydrolyzed by low temperature comparing to high temperature. The amounts of low molecular weight amino acids(glycine, alanine, serine etc) were higher than that of high molecular weight amino acids. The maximum yields of amino acids were produced at low temperature($220^{\circ}C$) with acid catalyst.
