Motor noise is a major concern in order to improve perceptual feeling of car interior sound due to increased motor usage in passenger cars. The purpose of this study is to propose factors that can represent the acoustic performance of motor noise according to the change of load. To this end, at first, it is shown that power spectrum and total loudness are not fit for noise performance, and then, PN_B, partial loudness related to the brush friction component, and PN_R, partial loudness related to the torque ripple component are investigated as factors representing motor noise. The performance curve of motor noise using PN_B and PN_R is proposed to identify trends of motor noise according to the loads. The curve could be a guide for the noise control, the selection of motor, and the improvement of a system.

This study analyzed the load and the consumed power characteristics of a potato harvesting operation in a dry field. The potato harvesting operation was performed using an underground crop harvester mounted on an agricultural tractor with a rated engine power of 23.7 kW. The rotational speeds and the torque of the engine output shaft, rear axle, and power take-off (PTO) shaft were measured under various working conditions. The load spectrum and the consumed power were analyzed using the measured data. The results show that the consumed power of the rear axle increased as the working speed increased, while that of the PTO shaft decreased. The consumed power of the engine output shaft showed a similar trend with that of the PTO shaft, but the torque deviation was larger in the load spectrum. The results of previous studies were used to compare herein the consumed power and the load characteristics of the harvesting, rotary, and plow operations in a dry field. PTO and tractive power were highly consumed in the plow and rotary operations, respectively. The consumed power of the PTO shaft and the rear axle in the harvesting operation were 29-41% and 18-23% of the engine power, respectively. Compared to those in the rotary and plow operations, the engine power was relatively evenly distributed to the PTO shaft and rear axle in the harvesting operation.

Several electrical loads such as inrush current, normal operation arcing and non-sinusoidal loads have normal current waveforms similar to arc waveforms. To detect arcs in such loads, therefore, it is necessary to analyze difference between current waveforms with or without arcs. In this paper, using apparatuses of arc generation in UL 1699, arcs are generated in these loads and, then, arc current waveforms are investigated in both the time and the frequency domains to find arc characteristics. This investigation shows that arc current signals have shoulders at some zero current points in the time domain and increment of spectrum magnitude in all over frequency domain. It also shows that the arc characteristics at normal operation arcing and non-sinusoidal loads are detected more easily in the frequency domain than in the time domain. This investigated arc characteristics are expected to be utilized as the basis of development of arc-fault circuit interrupters.

In this paper, a method to predict the fatigue life of an axle drive shaft by the calibrated accelerated life test (CALT) method is proposed. The CALT method is very effective for predicting lifetimes, significantly reducing test time, and quantifying reliability. The fatigue test is performed by considering two high stress and one low stress levels, and the lifetime at the normal stress level is predicted by extrapolation. In addition, in this study, the major reliability parameters such as the lifetime, accelerated power index, shape parameter, and scale parameter are determined by conducting various experiments. The lifetime prediction of the axle drive shaft is verified by comparing the experimental results with load spectrum data. The results confirm that the CALT method is effective for lifetime prediction and requires a short test time.

Cognitive radio is a technology, which automatically recognizes and searches for temporally and spatially unused frequency spectrum, then actively determines the communication method, bandwidth, etc. according to the environment, thus utilizing the limited spectrum resources efficiently. In this paper, with the imperfect sensing of misdetection and false alarm, we quantitatively investigate the effects of primary and secondary user's queue on the primary and secondary users' spectrum usage through the analysis of continuous time Markov Chain. With the queue primary user's spectrum usage improved up to 18%, and the secondary user's spectrum usage improved up to 50%.

The boundary layer developing over the suction surface of a first-stage turbine blade for power generation has been investigated in this study. For three locations selected in the region where local thermal load changes dramatically, mean velocity, turbulence intensity, and one-dimensional energy spectrum are measured with a hot-wire anemometer. The results show that the suction-surface boundary layer suffers a transition from a laminar flow to a turbulent one. This transition is confirmed to be a "separated-flow transition", which usually occurs in the shear layer over a separation bubble. The local minimum thermal load on the suction surface is found at the initiation point of the transition, whereas the local maximum thermal load is observed at the location of very high near-wall turbulence intensity after the transition process. Frequency characteristics of turbulent kinetic energy before and after the transition are understood clearly from the energy spectrum data.

this paper proposes a filter design that makes to be satisfied EMC spec. in reliability test of analogue switch for electronic equipment and air conditioning load unit. A designed electromagnetic wave filter was applied to minimize an mutual interference and surrounding environment and improve the product's quality being satisfied to EMC standard. By simulation, using a spectrum analyzer at the 30MHz~1GHz band, ISO/JASO standard frequency range, and simplified EMI chamber, energy distribution of a specific frequency band was analyzed and the capacity of the element which composed the filter was determined in order to implement the most suitable electromagnetic wave filter.In fact, it was certificated that noise decrease by filter addition to the analogue switch for electronic equipment and air conditioning load unit in Certification Authority, and confirmed that the unit is carried out a normal action without electromagnetic wave interference.

The agricultural tractor is a multi-purpose vehicle, which is frequently used in the agricultural field. It must be highly reliable in terms of human safety. Design and analysis of agricultural tractors must be performed using actual agricultural workload to maintain high reliability. Additionally, the frequency with which various components and systems are used must also be taken into consideration. In this study, a tractor is built to measure its workload in the actual field. Further, the measured load was analyzed for various farming tasks. The range of ratios of consumed power to engine power was measured to be 42.6%-87.2%, 75.1%-97%, 26.5%-59.2% for a plow, rotary, and harvest tasks, respectively. The results were fed into a transmission simulation model to analyze the strength and life of the transmission components. We conclude that a more reliable product can be constructed by incorporating the transmission analyses using the actual load.

집중도 변화와 정신피로는 정의 방향의 평가와 부의 방향의 평가가 있으며, 작업 수행시의 집중변화와 정신피로의 평가는 정의 방향보다 부의 방향으로의 평가가 용이하다. 따라서, 저자들은 먼저 피험자에게 부가할 정신작업부하로 난이도 조정이 용이한 연산작업을 사용하여 작업수행시 가장 높은 집중을 요구하는 하나의 난이도를 선정하고 피험자에게 반복 수행시키면서 생리량과 심리량을 동시에 측정하였다. 측정된 생리량은 뇌파, 심전도, 호흡, 맥파, 말초피부온이며 심리량은 저자들이 개발한 정신피로설문지를 사용하였다. 분석결과 작업수행시 심박변화율의 전력스펙트럼 MF/(LF+HF)비가 감소하였으며, 작업이 반복됨에 따라 집중이 저하되고 정신피로가 증가하였다. 특히, 뇌파의 beta파와 호흡간격이 집중도의 변화를 말초피부온이 정신피로를 잘 반영하였다.
