Numerical inverstigation of heat transfer in phase-change energy storage devices was performed in order to aid In the design process for a finned Phase-Change Material( PCM). A simplified model based on a quasi-linear, transient, thin fin equation, which predicts the fraction of melted phase-change material, and the shape of liquid-solid interface as a function of time, is used. The model is solved by using Finite Volume Method(FVM), and the numerical results have showed good agreement with experimental data.

The basin response to storm is regarded as nonlinearity inherently. In addition, the consistent nonlinearity of hydrologic system response to rainfall has been very tough and cumbersome to be treated analytically. The thing is that such nonlinear models have been avoided because of computational difficulties in identifying the model parameters from recorded data. The parameters of nonlinear system considered as dynamic effects in the conceptual model are optimized as the sum of errors between the observed and computed runoff is minimized. For obtaining the optimal parameters of functions, the historical data for the Bocheong watershed in the Geum river basin were tested by applying the numerical methods, such as quasi-linearization technique, Runge-Kutta procedure, and pattern-search method. The estimated runoff carried through from the storage function with dynamic effects was compared with the one of 1st-order differential equation model expressing just nonlinearity, and also done with Nash model. It was found that the 2nd-order model yields a better prediction of the hydrograph from each storm than the 1st-order model. However, the 2nd-order model was shown to be equivalent to Nash model when it comes to results. As a result, the parameters of nonlinear 2nd-order differential equation model performed from the present study provided not only a considerable physical meaning but also a applicability to Korean watersheds.

We developed a fiber-optic temperature sensor system, with 10 fiber Bragg gratings, for abnormal high-temperature monitoring in power systems. We used Gaussian line-fitting algorithm to compensate the spectrum distortion in the wavelength-scanned Farby-Perot filter demodulation scheme. Compared with highest-peak-detection method, the proposed algorithm substantially reduced measurement errors. The overall measurement error was less than 1[%] compared with the reference thermocouple and the linearity error was 0.37[%].

This paper presents a method to apply the linear goal programming, which has rarely been used to the structural opimization problem due to its unique formulation, to large scale nonlinear structural optimization. The method can be used as a multicriteria optimization tool since goal programming removes the difficulty in defining an objective function and constraints. The method uses the finite element analysis, linear goal programming techniques and successive linearization to obtain the solution for the nonlinear goal optimization problems. The general formulation of the structural optimization problem into a nonlinear goal programming form is presented. The successive linearization method for the nonlinear goal optimization problem is discussed. To demonstrate the validity of the method, as a design tool, the minimum weight structural optimization problems with stress constraints are solved for the cases of 10, 25 and 200 trusses and compared with the results of the other works.

A nonlinear controller based on feedback linearization method is proposed for an electromagnetic suspension system. After exactly linearizing the system with nonlinear feedback, linear control technique is applied. Modeling of stagger typed magnet is introduced and controlled for not only levitation, but guidance. By the feedback linearization, the nonlinear, MIMO system is linearized and decoupled, so we can use linear control law. The simulation of this system control skim is demonstrated. Robustness properties of the proposed controller with respect to the load variations and external disturbance is also analyzed for a multi input multi output system. In this properties, the boundary of variation is proposed.

This paper proposes an adaptive linearization method of Volterra nonlinear systems using DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform)and an LMS-type predistorter. In particular, the proposed wavelet transform-domain lineatization method leads to diagonalization of the input vector auto-correlation matrix which yields improvement of the convergence rate of the corresponding transform-domain LMS algorithm. Furthermore, the adaptive Volterra predistorter followed by a corresponding weakly Volterra nonlinear system(here. a TWT amplifier model in a satellite communication system) is utilized to compensate for the distortion in the output. Also,12-PSK and 4-QAM are applied as the input to the nonlinear system to be tested. Some simulation results show that the proposed linearization approach has better performance than DCT-based or conventional normalized LMS algorithms do.

전통적인 발전기 무효전력 예비력은 발전기가 출력할 수 있는 최대 무효전력 출력에서 현재 운전 중인 발전기의 무효전력 출력의 차이로 계산된다. 그러나 모든 발전기가 계통에 동일한 영향을 미치는 것은 아니기 때문에 이를 개선하기 위한 방안이 필요하다. 계통 제어에 민감한 발전기들을 선정하고 보다 효용성 있는 무효전력 예비력을 산출한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전력 조류 방정식을 Q와 V의 관계식으로 선형화하여 발전기의 감도를 도출한다. 도출된 감도는 부하의 무효전력 변화에 대한 발전기의 무효전력 출력의 변화를 나타내는 값으로 감도를 각 발전기별 가중치로 적용해서 효용 무효전력 예비력을 계산한다.

This paper suggests a new concept for missile guidance control, called linearized common curvature guidance law that enhances the probability to kill a target. The proposed guidance system is composed of two switching modes; one for the midcourse guidance and the other for the terminal guidance, which is switched by a specified critical value (.epsilon.). And the system and the commands are formulated and its simulations are provided in comparison with the conventional commanded line of sight guidance algorithm. Miss distance and angle of attack are denoted as performance of parameters. This new concept, common curvature guidance algorithm, revises the navigation guidance and accompanies, various considerations.

Some results and a nonlinear controller are proposed for feedback linearizable SISO systems with unknown constant parameters. It is shown that the systems which satisfy the proposed conditions can be transformed into a controllable linear subsystem with unknown parameter and it can be stabilized using the high gain nonlinear feedback linearizing controller. As an example for the proposed theorem, we introduce the single link robot with joint flexibility which is an well known example.

A necessary and suficient conditions is proposed for feedback linearizable SISO systems with unknown constant parameters. It is shown that the systems which satisfy the proposed conditions can be transformed into a controllable linear system with unknown parameter and it can be stabilized using the nonlinear feedback linearizing controller. We also present the analysis and implementation of a nonlinear feedback linearizing control for an Electro-Magnetic Suspension (EMS) system. We show that an EMS system is nonlinear feedback linearizable and satisfies the proposed conditions, and hence that the proposed nonlinear feedback controller for an EMS system is robust against mass parameter perturbation and force disturbance.
