The classical control theory has been developed successfully for the design of a system controller and has evolved continually. Even though sophisticated simulation techniques and software packages are available, there is still some difficulty in the design of a complex system controller at the desk. So the trial and error method is sometimes used to design a new controller, but it requires excess time and cost. This paper suggests a controller design method through the experimental approach. The basic concept is to adjust gradually the design parameters of the controller to the simulation results and experimental data of a similar real system. This method will be a very useful and easy way to design an accurate and/or optimal controller for a real plant while reducing time and giving a good solution at a reasonable cost.

In this study, we observe the application of shape memory alloy(SMA) into smart structures for repeatable actuation, because SMA changes its material properties and characteristics progressively under cyclic loading conditions and finally reaches stable path(state) after a certain number of stress/temperature loading-unloading cycles, so called 'training'. In this paper, SMA wires that have been in a stable state through the training are used. Stress-strain curve of the SMA wire at different temperature levels are measured. In addition, we observe other important effects such as the rate effect according to strain rates for rapid actuation response. The current work presents the experimental test using SMA wire after training completion by mechanical cycling. Through these tests, we measure the characteristics of SMA. With the estimated SMA properties and effects, we compare the experimental results with the simulation results based on the SMA constitutive equations.

An estimation of high-order damping in flexible multibody dynamic simulation is introduced in this paper. The suggested damping model based on the experimental modal analysis leads to more accurate correlation results comparing to the traditional linear damping model because it directly uses the modal parameters of each mode achieved from experiment even high frequency modes. The modal parameters until the 5th mode are extracted from the experimental modal testing of the flexible beam using a high speed camera. And using the measured damping ratio and natural frequency until the 5th mode, the generic damping model is constructed. Then, the ANCF (absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation) simulation results are compared to experimental results until the 5th mode.

A general purpose program for the analysis of flows in a gas turbine combustor is developed. The program uses non-staggered grids based on finite volume method and the cartesian velocities as primitive variables. A flow inside the C-type diffuser is simulated to check the boundary fitted coordinate. The velocity profiles at cross section agree well with experimental results. A turbulent diffusion flame behind a bluff body is simulated for the combustion simulation. Simulated results show good agreement with experimental data. Finally, a turbulent flow with swirl in a gas turbine combustor was simulated. The results show two recirculating region and simulated velocity fields agree well with experimental data. The distance between two recirculating regions becomes shorter as swirl angle increases. Swirl angle changes angular momentum and streamlines in flow fields.

A combined extrusion process studied here consists of forward and backward extrusion, and it is formed in single operation. The metal flow involved in the operation has appeared to be difficult to analyze accurately because of mixed directions of the flow. In this study, conventional two operations of a forward and a backward extrusions is transformed into one operation of mixed extrusion. A process designed by an industry expert is simulated by the rigid-plastic finite element method to investigate the metal flow and defects. In addition to the FEM simulation, experimental analysis has been carried out to confirm the design in industry, which includes material characterization, preliminary expriment, and whole experimental forming operation. The experimental results show that warm forming of extrusion is more desirable than cold working and hot forming in view of grain growth. Also two conditions of lubrication between workpiece and die has been investigated.

The results of experimental and numerical investigations on reinforced concrete beams, with different longitudinal rebars affected by corrosive processes are presented in this paper. Different diameters and/or different distributions of longitudinal rebars were employed keeping constant the total section in each analyzed case, (maintaining a constant stirrup diameter and distribution). The rebars were subjected to accelerated corrosion in the experimental study. Electrochemical monitoring of the process, periodic measuring of the cover cracking and gravimetry of the rebars were performed through the test. Some building recommendations are obtained in order to be considered by designers of concrete structures. The numerical simulation was carried out through the application of the Finite Element Method (FEM), employing plane models, and using linear-elastic material model. The cracking process was associated with the evolution of the tensile stresses that were originated. This numerical methodology allows the monitoring of the mechanical behavior until the beginning of the cracking.

In this paper, CFD simulation results for a tanker model are compared with experimental data over a range of wave conditions to verify a capability to predict the sea-keeping performance of practical hull forms. CFD simulations are conducted using WISDAM-X code which is capable of unsteady RANS calculations in arbitrary wave conditions. Comparisons are made of unsteady surface pressures, added resistance and ship motions in regular waves for cases of fully-loaded and ballast conditions of a large tanker model. It is shown that the simulation results agree fairly well with the experimental data, and that WISDAM-X code can predict sea-keeping performance of practical hull forms.

In this paper, operations system was designed for the centralization of data processing of various state information from the facilities of mobile communication network. And the system performance experimental system module was measured and analyzed from the designed experimental system module. The configuration of system design was presented with the centralized type to monite and control the facilities of mobile communication network in the central office. The communication process design of the internal system was implemented with the resource of message queue having a excellent transmission ability for processing of a great quantity of information in the inter-process communication among communication resources of UNIX system. The process with a server function from the internal communication processes was constructed with a single server or a double server according to the quantity of operations and implemented with the policy of the presented server. And then, we have measured performance elements in accordance with the change of input parameters from the designed experimental module : response time, waiting time, buffer length, the maximum quantity existing in message queue. And from these results, we have compared and analyzed the system state each server algorithm according to performance variations.

In this study, flow field measurement of the Pebble Bed Reactor(PBR) for the High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor(HTGR) was performed. Large number of pebbles in the core of PBR provides complicated flow channel. Due to the complicated geometries, numerical analysis has been intensively made rather than experimental observation. However, the justification of computational simulation by the experimental study is crucial to develop solid analysis of design method. In the present study, a wind tunnel installed with pebbles stacked was constructed and equipped with the Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV). We designed the system scaled up to realize the room temperature condition according to the similarity. The PIV observation gave us stagnation points, low speed region so that the suspected high temperature region can be identified. With the further supplementary experimental works, the present system may produce valuable data to justify the Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) simulation method.
