CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analyses that considered the dynamic interaction effects between the flow and a turbine were performed to evaluate the power output characteristics of two representative vertical-axis tidal-current turbines: an H-type Darrieus turbine and Gorlov helical turbine (GHT). For this purpose, a commercial CFD code, Star-CCM+, was utilized, and the power output characteristic were investigated in relation to the scale ratio using the relation between the Reynolds number and the lift-to-drag ratio. It was found that the power coefficients were significantly reduced when the scaled model turbine was used, especially when the Reynolds number was lower than $10^5$. The power output characteristics of GHT in relation to the twisting angle were also investigated using a three-dimensional CFD analysis, and it was found that the power coefficient was maximized for the case of a Darrieus turbine, i.e., a twisting angle of $0^{\circ}$, and the torque pulsation ratio was minimized when the blade covered $360^{\circ}$ for the case of a turbine with a twisting angle of $120^{\circ}$.

Since the development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology for the medical field, various micro-fluid transfer systems have been studied. This paper proposes a micro-piezoelectric pump that imitates a stomach's peristalsis by using two separate piezoelectric elements, in contrast to existing micro-pumps. This piezoelectric pump is operated by using the valve-less traveling wave of peristalsis movement. If the piezoelectric plates at the two separated plates are actuated at the input voltage, a traveling wave occurs between the two plates. Then, the fluid migrates by the pressure difference generated by the traveling wave. Finite element analysis was performed to understand the mechanics of the combined system with piezoelectric elements, elastic structures, and fluids. The effects of design variables such as the chamber height and number of ceramics on the flow rate of the fluid were examined.

In this study, a hybrid control method that adjusts for the existing force control technique has been presented for consideration. The proposed hybrid control technique does away with the chattering phenomenon occurring in existing force control technique and provides high shock absorption efficiency. In order to design the controller for the landing gear with MR damper, the equation of motion of the landing gear was derived. The hybrid controller was designed after constructing a simulation model using Recur-Dyne, multi-body dynamic analysis software. The hybrid controller can reduce the maximum strut force and displacement based on the skyhook controller, and is able to get the high efficiency by making it work for the additional force control technique. In addition, an effective switching control technique and input shaping technique was applied to prevent the chattering in the drop simulation. Finally, the performance of the landing characteristics was evaluated throughout the various drop simulations.

본 논문에서 개발된 시뮬레이터는 광학 탑재체의 성능예측에 있어 지배적인 영향을 미치는 MTF인자 및 PSF인자들을 수치해석프로그램인 MATLAB 상에서 계산하였다. 또한 광학해석 프로그램인 ZEMAX를 연동하여 광학계의 가공, 제조 그리고 정렬할 때 발생할 수 있는 오차들을 적용 수 있다. 이를 통하여 광학탑재체의 운용상 발생하는 Jitter, Smear, Detector sampling, Detector diffusion등의 MTF를 쉽게 구할 수 있으며 여기에 광학계 제조상의 문제를 직접 적용할 수 있다. 그 결과 이를 영상에 넣어 가상영상을 생성하여 광학 탑재체 성능 예측을 효율적으로 수행할 수 있게 되었다.

2003년 미 북동부의 대정전 이후 온라인 동적안정도 평가기능은 계통의 실시간 상태와 상정사고시 상태를 이해하는데 많은 기관에서 채택하고 있다. 우리나라도 현재 한계수명이 다한 EMS를 대체할 차기EMS 시스템의 도입시 계통 해석과 감시에 많은 장점을 갖고 있는 온라인 동적안정도 평가 가능을 검토하여 계통해석의 빠르고 정확한 환경을 조성하려고 하고 있으며 온라인 동적안정도 평가 기능이 활용된다면 현재 계통운영상태에 대한 안정성 평가에 많은 향상이 이루어지리라본다.

본 논문에서는 ITER 펄스전원계통의 무효전력보상기(Reactive Power Compensator)의 해석 및 검증에 대하여 기술하였다. ITER 펄스전원계통은 66kV에 흐르는 무효전력량을 250MVar이하로 제한하기 위하여 정지형 무효전력보상기(Static Var Compensator)의 대표적인 장치인 싸이리스터 제어 리액터(TCR)와 고조파 필터(HF)로 구성된 무효전력보상기(RPC)를 사용한다. RPC에 적용되어 여러 ITER 초전도 코일 전원장치에서 발생하는 무효전력의 크기를 예측하여 보상하는 무효전력 보상기법을 해석한다. 본 논문에서는 RPC의 무효전력 보상동작을 실제 제어기와 RTDS를 연동하여 실험하여 검증하였고, RPC의 유무에 따라서 66kV 계통의 무효전력 최대값이 120MVar에서 40MVar로 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.

A hydraulic gear pump is widely used in many industrial applications to provide both high pressure and high flow rate by physical displacement of finite volume of fluid with each revolution. In this study, two dimensional fluid-structure interaction simulation of gear pump flow was carried out to examine detailed complex flow patterns and structural stress distribution on rotors by using a commercial software ADINA. The effect of rotor clearance size on the flow characteristics, specially the temporal variation of velocity and pressure field, which is a main source of flow noise, also was investigated.

The linkage framework of geometric modeling based on NURBS(Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) surface and shell finite analysis is developed in the present study. For this purpose, geometrically exact shell finite element is implemented. NURBS technology is employed to obtain the exact geometric quantities for the analysis. Especially, because NURBS is the most powerful and wide-spread method to represent general surfaces in the field of computer graphics and CAD(Computer Aided Design) industry, the direct computation of surface geometric quantities from the NURBS surface equation without approximation shows great potential for the integration between geometrically exact shell finite element and geometric modeling in the CAD systems. Some numerical examples are given to verify the performance and accuracy of the developed linkage framework. In additions, trimmed surfaces with some cutouts are considered for more practical applications.

Among various sensitivity evaluation techniques, semi-analytical method is quite popular since this method is more advantageous than analytical method and global finite difference method. However, SAM reveals severe inaccuracy problem when relatively large rigid body motions are identified for individual elements. Such errors result from the numerical differentiation of the pseudo load vector calculated by the finite difference scheme. In the present study, the adjoint variable method combined with complex variable is proposed to obtain the shape and size sensitivity for structural optimization. The complex variable can present accurate results regardless of the perturbation size as well as easy to be implemented. Through a few numerical examples of the static problem for the structural sensitivity, the efficiency and reliability of the adjoint variable method combined with complex variable is demonstrated.
