In this paper, the phase-shift full-bridge DC/DC converter with fixed-phase operation inverter is proposed. The proposed circuit consists of two full-bridge inverters which are connected in parallel. While one full-bridge inverter operates as the fixed-phase, it regulates the output voltage by adjusting the phase of the other inverter. During the normal operation period, the proposed circuit makes the less amount of conduction loss of the primary switches and secondary synchronous rectifiers, as well as the less amount of the current ripple of the output inductor, than the conventional phase-shift full-bridge DC/DC converter does. Also, it achieves high efficiency by reducing the snubber loss of the secondary synchronous rectifier. To sum up, the present inquiry analyzes the theoretical characteristics of the proposed circuit, and shows the experimental results from a prototype for 450W power supply.

A new zero voltage and nero current switching(ZVZCS) full bridge(FB) PWM converter b proposed to improve the performance of the previously presented ZVZCS-FB-PWM converters [7,8]. By adding a secondary active clamp and controlling the clamp switch moderately, ZVS(for leading-leg switches) are ZCS(for lagging-leg switches) are achieved without nay lossy components, the reverie avalanche break down of leading-leg IGBTs[7] or the saturable reactor in the primary[8]. Many advantages including simple circuit topology, high efficiency, and low cost mate the new converter attractive for high voltage and high power(> 10 kW) applications. The principle of operation is explained and analyzed. The features and design considerations of the new converter are also illustrated and verified on an 1.8 kW, 100 kHz IGBT based experimental circuit.

The design of foot-bridge is often influenced by natural frequency. Consequently, vibration frequency becomes important. The empirical expressions used to quantify this parameter at the design phase have not been developed enough to give guideline to Korean foot-bridge. This paper is concerned with the vertical natural frequency of steel foot-bridges. It describes the vibration measurement methods employed for testing structures and presents reliable methods of assessing natural frequency from jumping vibration tests. Data from measurements on 16 structures in Seoul are given. Regression formulas of natural frequency for steel-framed foot-bridges are suggested. Finally, obtained formula are compared with empirical expressions of Seoul City's guideline.

Recently, mechanical systems such as a high-speed vehicles and railway trains moving on flexible beam structures have become a very important issue to consider. Using the general approach proposed in the first part of this paper, it is possible to predict motion of the constrained mechanical system and the elastic structure, with various kinds of foundation supporting conditions. Combined differential-algebraic equation of motion derived from both multibody dynamics theory and finite element method can be analyzed numerically using a generalized coordinate partitioning algorithm. To verify the validity of this approach, results from the simply supported elastic beam subjected to a moving load are compared with the exact solution from a reference. Finally, parametric study is conducted for a moving vehicle model on a simply supported 3-span bridge.

Recently, the deterioration of reinforced concrete structures, primarily due to corrosion of steel reinforcement, has become a major concern. Chloride-induced deterioration is the most important deterioration phenomenon in reinforced concrete structures in harsh environments. For the realistic prediction of chloride penetration into concrete, a mathematical model was developed in which the effects of diffusion, chloride binding and convection due to water movement can be taken into account. The aim of this research was to reach a better understanding on the physical mechanisms underlying the deterioration process of reinforced concrete associated with chloride-induced corrosion and to propose a reliable method for estimating these effects. Chloride concentrations coming from de-icing salts are significantly influenced by the exposure conditions such as salt usage, ambient temperature and repeated wet-dry cycles.

South anchorage(AN1, Myodo side) of supension bridge between Myodo and Gwangyang is designed as rock anchorage with 36m anchor length using the resistance of rock mass in Myodo. Checking the overall stability of the anchorage, we considered rock joints, bedding planes, fault zones and condition of rock structure in situ by analysis results for photo-lineaments, aerial photograph interpretation and drill-hole logs are considered. This anchorage consists of an access shaft, adit, and the upper and lower concrete bearing plate to introduce pre-stressing force into rock mass.

In this paper, first, a linearized modeling of a phase shift full-bridge converter used in chargers of electric vehicles is derived by using state-space approach and transfer functions from the duty ratio to output voltage and the inductor current are also verified. second, control systems for the output voltage and the inductor current are designed using the root locus technique. It is illustrated by experimental results that the control performance on the output variables is satisfied with the designed digital control system based on a automobile qualified 32-bit microcontroller.

DC/DC converter for supplying in dependent 3 DC voltage to the proposed multi-level inverter generates 180-degree phase shifted PWM by the symmetrically combined structure of 2 buck-boost converter and twice switching frequency efficiency can be obtained, meanwhile, the converter can step up/down the output voltage and 20% output can be generated comparing the input voltage. This proposed system is verified with the simulation and laboratory test.

본 논문에서는 양방향 전력 전송을 가능케 해주는 Dual-active-bridge (DAB) 컨버터에서, 고주파 변압기 대신 무선 전력 전송 코일을 이용한 시스템을 제안한다. 기존의 DAB 컨버터에서 주로 사용되는 고주파 변압기는 Core-type 또는 shell-type으로 만들어지며, 1차 측 권선과 2차 측 권선이 자기적으로 강하게 결합되어 높은 전력 전달 효율을 가지도록 만든다. 이런 DAB 컨버터를 직/병렬 연결해 MV-DC to LV-DC로 변환하는 반도체 변압기 등을 구성할 때, 1차 측 권선과 2차 측 권선 사이에는 절연 문제와 1차 측 스위치 회로와 2차 측 스위치 회로, 그리고 고주파 변압기가 각각 따로 절연해야 하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 DAB 컨버터는 1차 측과 2차 측이 수 cm 이격되어 있어 1차 측과 2차 측 사이의 자기적 결합이 굉장히 약하다. 따라서 1차 측과 2차 측 코일을 커패시터로 공진시켜 전력을 전달하는 무선전력전송(Loosely Coupled Inductive Wireless Power Transfer)을 이용한다. 무선전력전송의 공진 topology는 Parallel-Series로 선택했고, impedance transformation 회로를 추가했다.
