  • Wearable sensor-based gait analysis has been widely conducted to analyze various aspects of human ambulation abilities under the free-living condition. However, there have been few research efforts on using wearable sensors to analyze human walking on an unstable surface such as on a ship during a sea voyage. Since the motion of a ship on the unstable sea surface imposes significant differences in walking strategies, investigation is suggested to find better performing wearable sensor-based gait analysis algorithms on this unstable environment. This study aimed to compare two representative gait event algorithms including time domain and frequency domain analyses for detecting heel strike on an unstable platform. As results, although two methods did not miss any heel strike, the frequency domain analysis method perform better when comparing heel strike timing. The finding suggests that the frequency analysis is recommended to efficiently detect gait event in the unstable walking environment.

  • In this paper, the necessary and sufficient conditions for strict positive realness of the rational transfer functions directly from basic definitions in the frequency domain are studied. A new frequency domain approach is used to check if a rational transfer function is a strictly positive real or not. This approach is based on the Taylor expansion and the Maximum Modulus Principle which are the fundamental tools in the complex functions analysis. Four related common statements in the strict positive realness literature which is appeared in the control theory are discussed. The drawback of these common statements is analyzed through some counter examples. Moreover a new necessary condition for strict positive realness is obtained from high frequency behavior of the Nyquist diagram of the transfer function. Finally a more simplified and completed conditions for strict positive realness of single-input single-output linear time-invariant systems are presented based on the complex functions analysis approach.

  • This research presented a frequency analysis method to analyze NRRO in a computer hard disk drive. RRO was proved to be the harmonics of rotational frequency. The frequency components of NRRO is the subtraction of the harmonics from TIR in frequency domain, so that NRRO in time domain can be obtained by Fourier inverse transformation of NRRO in frequency domain. This method can make the experiments simple without the index signal indispensable to time domain analysis. This research also shows that NRRO is caused by the defect frequencies of ball bearing. Even though the excitation force of ball bearing is independent of the rotational speed, the amplitude of NRRO is magnified near the resonance frequencies of the spindle motor. NRRO in axial direction is almost twice bigger than that in radial direction, because the spindle motor has smaller stiffness in axial direction.

  • In tire presence of incident waves with different frequencies, there are second order sum and difference frequency wave exciting forces due to the nonlinearity of tire incident waves. Although the magnitude of these nonlinear wave forces are small, they act on TLPs at sum and difference frequencies away from those of the incident waves. So, the second order sum and difference frequency waveexciting forces occurring close to tire natural frequencies of TLPs often give greater contributions to high and law frequency resonant responses. Nonlinear motion responses and tension variations in the time domain are analyzed by solving the motion equations with nonlinear wave exciting forces using tire numerical analysismethod. The numerical results of time domain analysis for the nonlinear wave exciting forces on the ISSC TLP in regular waves are compared with the numerical and experimental ones of frequency domain analysis. The results of this comparison confirmed tire validity of the proposed approach.

  • A structural dynamic analysis can be divided into a time domain analysis and a frequency domain analysis. The time domain analysis makes use of a direct integration method or a mode superposition method and the frequency domain analysis applies a DFT method. Generally the DFT method is more effective method in case of calculating response of periodic excitation. But in case of transient excitation exact solution can not be acquired. So, by modifying the response or increasing the period accuracy of solution can be enhanced. Accordingly this study analyzed dynamic responses of structures under aperiodic moving load in time domain and frequence domain. Consequently it is concluded that exact solution would be get enough using DFT method by increasing the duration of free vibration or modifying the dynamic response.

  • A numerical analysis on deck wetness is carried out for a large caisson directly wet-towed by tugs in irregular waves. A constant panel method is used for linear analysis in frequency domain and a statistical post-processing for the deck wetness is presented. Hydrodynamic coefficients obtained from the frequency domain computation are imported for time domain analysis which enables complete modeling for towing equipment, environment, etc. Both frequency and time domain computations over two sea states are performed and comparison is made. In the time domain analysis, towing systems of various arrangements of tugs are investigated from short-term prediction for the largest deck wetness and the number of occurrences of deck wetness.

  • The analysis of the floating offshore wind turbine platform is based on the procedures provided by the IEC including the International Classification Society, which recommends the analysis in the time domain. But time-domain simulation requires a lot of time and resources to solve tens of thousands of DLCs. This acts as a barrier in terms of floating structure development. For final verification, it requires very precise analysis in the time domain, but from an initial design point of view, a simplified verification procedure to predict the quantity of materials quickly and achieve relatively accurate results is crucial. In this study, a structural design procedure using a design wave applied in the oil and gas industries is presented combined with a conservative turbine load. With this method, a quick design spiral can be rotated, and it is possible to review FOWTs of various shapes and sizes. Consequently, a KRISO Semi-Submersible FOWT platform was developed using a simplified design procedure in frequency-domain analysis.

  • The purpose of this raper is to assess the benefits of frequency domain fatigue analysis and compare it with more conventional time domain techniques. The multi-body dynamic analysis, FE analysis and fatigue life prediction technique are applied for the frequency domain fatigue analysis. To obtain the dynamic load history used in the frequency domain fatigue analysis, the computer simulations running over typical road Profiles are carried out by utilizing vehicle dynamic model. The fatigue life estimation for the rear suspension system of small-sized passenger car is performed by using resonance durability analysis technique, and the estimation results are compared with the conventional quasi-static durability analysis results. For the pothole simulation, the percent changes, of the fatigue life between the two durability analysis techniques don't exceed 10%. But for the Belgian road simulation because of the resonance effect, the fatigue life using the resonance durability analysis technique are much smaller estimated than the quasi-static durability analysis results.
