A newly-built inverter has to undergo a series of stress tests in the final stage of production line. This can be achieved by connecting it to a dynamometer consisting of a three-phase machine joined by a rigid shaft to a DC load machine. The latter is controlled to create some specific load characteristic needed for the test. In this paper a test method is proposed, in which no mechanical equipment is needed. The suggested test stand consists only of a inverter to be tested and a simulator converter. Both devices are connected back- to-back on the AC-side via smoothing reactors. The simulator operates in real-time as an equivalent load circuit, so that the device under test will only notice the behaviour of a three-phase machine under consideration of the load. In odor to wove rightness of the suggested test method, the simulation and actural experiment rallied out emulation for a 2.2kW induction motor.

Generally, characteristics of electromechanical actuators are coupled with the mechanical and the electrical properties. Important mechanical parameters of these actuators are the achievable force and displacement in the presence of electric field. These mechanical parameters are related to the stress and strain of the materials and the actuator geometry. This paper presents how to measure the blocked force by using the micro-balance. The blocked force is defined as the force produced by the transducer under an applied voltage when the tip is constrained to zero motion. Also, a theoretical force by using the cantilever beam model is calculated under elastic domain. From the sample of 4 cm $\times$ 1 cm $\times$ 20 $\mu$m, the blocked farce measured from the equipment is 20.3 $\mu$N at 8 V$_{DC}$. By comparing it with the theoretical value, 24.9 $\mu$N, the blocked force measurement is acceptable. The furce measurement is also investigated with different AC electric fields and the frequency.

A three-phase, three-switch, and three-level boost-type PWM rectifier (Vienna rectifier) is proposed as an active front-end power factor correction (PFC) rectifier for telecom loads. The proposed active front-end PFC rectifier system is modeled by the switching cycle average model. The relation between duty ratios and DC link capacitor voltages is derived in terms of the system input currents. Furthermore, the feasible switching states are identified and applied to the proposed system to reduce the switching stress and DC ripples. A detailed equivalent circuit analysis of the proposed front-end PFC rectifier is conducted, and its performance is verified through simulations in MATLAB. Simulation results are verified using an experimental setup of an active front-end PFC rectifier that was developed in the laboratory. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the improved power quality parameters that are in accordance with the IEEE and IEC standards.

교류전기철도 구간의 전차선과 급전선은 동일한 전철주에 설치된다. 전철주는 전차선과 급전선으로부터 각기 다른 하중을 받는다. 이러한 사실을 기본으로 새로운 형태와 재질의 급전선 금구를 고안하였다. 강관으로 디자인된 급전선 금구의 안전성을 FEM program을 통하여 시험하였다. 새로운 강관금구는 경제성측면에서 기존의 금구와 대비되며, 시험결과에서 금전선 금구고 안정적이고 경제적이라는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 제안한 금구는 VE 기본사항을 수행하였으며, 새로운 지지금구의 형태로 반영이 가능할 것이다.

Surface modification techniques are known to improve SCC by adding large compressive residual stresses to metal surfaces. This surface modification technology is attracting attention because it is an economical and practical technology compared to the maintenance method of existing nuclear power plants. Surface modification techniques include laser, water jet and ultrasonic peening, pinning and ultrasonic Nano-crystal surface modification (UNSM). The focus of this study was on the effect of ultrasonic amplitude in UNSM treatment on the corrosion properties of Alloy 600. A microstructure analysis was conducted using an optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD). A cyclic polarization test and AC-impedance measurement were both used to analyze the corrosion properties. UNSM treatment influences the corrosion resistance of Alloy 600 depending on its amplitude. Below the critical amplitude value, the pitting corrosion properties are improved by grain refinement and compressive residual stress, but above the critical amplitude value, crevices are formed by the formation of overlapped waves. These crevices act as corrosion initiators, reducing pitting corrosion resistance.

일반적으로 대용량의 수소를 저장하기 위해 사용되는 수직형 원통 용기는 강재로 제작되며, 사용 환경을 고려하여 제작된 받침 콘크리트 상부에 기초 슬래브에 선 설치된 앵커로 고정하는 방식이 사용된다. 이와 같은 방식은 지진과 같은 외력이 작용될 시 정착부에 응력이 집중될 수 있으며, 앵커 및 콘크리트 손상으로 인한 구조물의 전도 피해가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구는 현장 조사를 통한 실제 운용중인 수직형 수소 저장용기를 특정하여 3차원 유한요소로 모델링하였고, 비 구조 요소의 내진 성능 검토에 사용되는 ICC - ES AC 156의 인공 지진 및 규모 5.0 이상의 국내 기록지진을 적용하여 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 실제 규모로 제작된 구조물을 대상으로 실험을 진행하는 것이 타당하지만 현실적 제약으로 수행하기에 어려움이 있어 해석적 접근 방식을 통하여 대상 구조물의 안전성을 검토하였다. 거동 특성의 경우 지진동에 의해 발생된 구조물의 응답 가속도는 검토되는 지진 하중 대비 평균적으로 10 배 이상 크게 증폭이 되는 것으로 나타났으며, 무게 중심이 위치되는 지점으로 전달될수록 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 취약 부위로 예상되는 하부 시스템(지지 기둥 및 앵커 정착부)의 경우 허용 응력을 만족하는 것으로 나타났지만, 정착을 위한 받침 콘크리트의 쪼갬 및 인장 강도는 허용 응력 대비 약 5 % 정도의 여유만이 있어 이에 대한 대처 방안이 요구된다. 본 논문에서 제시된 연구 결과를 바탕으로 향후 진동대 시험을 통하여 수행이 되는 수소저장 용기 제작에 필요한 설계 하중 및 조건 등의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Pure titanium and its alloys are drastically used in implant materials due to their excellent mechanical properties, high corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility. However, the widely used Ti-6Al-4V is found to release toxic ions (Al and V) into the body, leading to undesirable long-term effects. Ti-6Al-4V has much higher elastic modulus than cortical bone. Therefore, titanium alloys with low elastic modulus have been developed as biomaterials to minimize stress shielding. For this reason, Ti-30Ta-xZr alloy systems have been studied in this study. The Ti-30Ta containing Zr(5, 10 and 15 wt%) were 10 times melted to improve chemical homogeneity by using a vacuum furnace and then homogenized for 24 hrs at $1000^{\circ}C$. The specimens were cut and polished for corrosion test and Ti coating and then coated with TiN, respectively, by using DC magnetron sputtering method. The analyses of coated surface were carried out by field emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM). The electrochemical characteristics were examined using potentiodynamic (- 1500 mV~+ 2000 mV) and AC impedance spectroscopy(100 kHz~10 mHz) in 0.9% NaCl solution at $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The equiaxed structure was changed to needle-like structure with increasing Zr content. The surface defects and structures were covered with TiN/Ti coated layer. From the polarization behavior in 0.9% NaCl solution, The corrosion current density of Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys decreased as Zr content increased, whereas, the corrosion potential of Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys increased as Zr content increased. The corrosion resistance of TiN/Ti-coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys were higher than that of the TiN-coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys. From the AC impedance in 0.9% NaCl solution, polarization resistance($R_p$) value of TiN/Ti coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys showed higher than that of TiN-coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys.

The co-expression of the arg U gene in a double-vector expression system of recombi-nant Escherichia coli BL22(DE3)[pET-IEN2a+pAC-argU] significantly enhanced the production level of reconminant human interferon -$\alpha$2a(rhIFN-$\alpha$2a) in high cell density cultures, compared to a recombinant E. coli culture containing only the single expression vector, pET-IEN2a. The dry cell mass concentration increased to almost 100 g/L, and more than 4 g/L of rhIFN-$\alpha$2a was accumu-lated in the culture broth. Evidently, the synthesis of rhIFN-$\alpha$2a was strongly dependent on the pre-induction growtih rate and more efficient at a higher specific growth rate. The additional sup-ply of tRN $A^{Arg(AGG/AGA)}$ enhanced the expression level of the rhIFN-$\alpha$2a gene in the early stage of the post-induction phase, yet thereafter the specific production rate of rhIFN-$\alpha$2a rapidly de-creased due to severe segregational instability of plasmid vector pET-IEN2a. It would appear that the plasmid instability with only occurred to pET-IEN2a in the double vector system, was re-lated to the effect of translational stress due to the over expression of rhIFN-$\alpha$2a.

The objective of the present study is to investigate the effects of various turbulence models on the aerodynamic noise of an air-conditioner (AC) indoor unit. The results from URANS (unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) simulations with the standard k-$\varepsilon$, k-$\omega$ shear stress transport (SST) and Spalart-Allmaras (S-A) turbulence models were analyzed and compared with the noise data from the experiments. The frequency spectra of the far-field acoustic pressure were computed using the Farrasat equation derived from the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) equation based on the acoustic analogy model. Two fixed fan casings and the rotating cross-flow fan were used as the source surfaces of the dipole noise in the Farrasat equation. The result with the standard k-$\epsilon$ model showed a much better agreement with the experimental data compared to the k-w SST and S-A models. The differences in the pressure spectra from the different turbulence models were discussed based on the instantaneous vorticity fields. It was found that the over-estimated power spectra with the k-w SST and S-A models are related to the emphasized small-scale vortices produced with these models.

The effect of ionic osmotic potential (Ψ$\pi$), and matric potential (Ψm) in the range of -0.2 to -4.0 Mpa on mycelial growth of three species of Pleurotus (P.florida, P.ostrenatus and P.safor-caju) were determined over a range of temperature (15-3$0^{\circ}C$) on a 2% malt extract agar medium and compared with the Ψ$\pi$ effect on growth of two strains of Trichoderma green mould. With the ionic solute KCl, optimun Ψ$\pi$for growth was -0.2 MPa for P.floreda and in the range of -0.2 to -0.5 MPa, with slight growth at -3.0 MPa and with nogrowth at -4.0 MPa. Of the species of Pleurotus, P.florida grew signigicantly slower than the other two species. Growt of the species of Pleurocus was significantly slower when water potential (Ψ$\omega$) was modified matrically with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 8000 then osmotically with KCl. They were also more sensitive to changes in Ψm than Ψ$\pi$The optimum Ψm of the Pleurotus was -0.5 Ψm, with no growth below -3.0 MPa. Of the species of Pleurotus, P.florida was most sensitive and P.sajor-caju was more tolerent to lowered Ψ$\pi$,but P.sajor-caju was most sensitive to lowered Ψm. The growth rate of the Trichoderma green mould strains was much faster than that observed for the Pleurotus spp. Optimum growth for bot strains of Trichoderma was in the range of -0.2 to -0.5 MPa. Strain CNU 503 was more tolerant to water stress than strain CNU 501. Both strains were able to grow up to 30% of optimum growth at -4.0 MPa at 25-3$0^{\circ}C$.
