Satellite formation flying has become a critical issue in the aerospace engineering because it is considered as an enabling technology for many space missions. Thus, many nonlinear control theories have been developed for the tracking problem of satellite formation flying, which include full-nonlinear dynamics, external disturbances and parameter uncertainty. In this study, nonlinear adaptive control law is developed using an adaptive backstepping technique to solve the relative position tracking problem of the satellite formation flying in the presence of mass uncertainty and the bounded external disturbance. Simulation studies are included to demonstrate the proposed controller performance. The proposed controller is shown to guarantee the system stability against the external bounded disturbances in the presence of mass uncertainty.

The evaluation process of rock mass properties intrinsically contains some uncertainty due to the inhomogeneity of rock mass and the measurement error. Although various empirical methods for the determination of rock mass properties were suggested, there is no way of integrating various information on rock mass properties except averaging. For these reasons, this research introduces evidence theory which can model epistemic uncertainty and yield reasonable rock mass properties through combining various information such as empirical equations, in-situ test results, and so on. Through the application of evidence theory to the real site investigation and in situ experiment results, an interval of deformation modulus, cohesion and friction angle of rock mass were obtained. The ratios between lower and upper bound of those properties ranges from 1.6 to 3.6. Numerical analyses of circular hole using the properties for TYPE-2 rock mass were carried out. The magnitude or size of plastic region and radial displacement in case of lower bound properties is about 4 times larger than that of upper bound properties.

Pyroprocessing is a promising technology for managing spent nuclear fuel. The nuclear material accounting of feed material is a challenging issue in safeguarding pyroprocessing facilities. The input material in pyroprocessing is in a solid-state, unlike the solution state in an input accountability tank used in conventional wet-type reprocessing. To reduce the uncertainty of the input material accounting, a double-stage homogenization process is proposed in considering the process throughput, remote controllability, and remote maintenance of an engineering-scale pyroprocessing facility. This study tests two types of mixing equipment in the proposed double-stage homogenization process using surrogate materials. The expected heterogeneity and accounting uncertainty of Pu are calculated based on the surrogate test results. The heterogeneity of Pu was 0.584% obtained from Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) spent fuel of 59 WGd/tU when the relative standard deviation of the mass ratio, tested from the surrogate powder, is 1%. The uncertainty of the Pu accounting can be lower than 1% when the uncertainty of the spent fuel mass charged into the first mixers is 2%, and the uncertainty of the first sampling mass is 5%.

In this paper, a nonlinear adaptive control method for an EMS(Electro-Magnetic Suspension) system with mass uncertainty is proposed. Using the coordinate transformation and feedback linearizing control, EMS system has been transformed into the form of parametric strict-feedback system with unknown virtual control coefficients. With this transformed system, tuning functions approach, which is an advanced from of adaptive backstepping, has been applied in order to stabilize the system against mass uncertainty. Computer simulation is also carried out in order to compare the performance of the proposed controller with that of feedback linerizing controller.

In this paper, we design a reduced-order disturbance observer (DOB) controller for an EMS (Electro-Magnetic Suspension) system with mass uncertainty. Compared with conventional DOB controller, the proposed reduced-order DOB controller can be implemented in a simpler way, since it uses reduced order nominal model and Q-filter. It is shown that the nominal model for the proposed DOB controller should be carefully chosen in order to achieve the robust stability in the present of mass uncertainty. Computer simulation results to validate the effectiveness of the proposed DOB controller are included.

정지궤도위성의 수명은 추진제 잔여량에 좌우되고 정확한 잔여추진제량 측정은 조기 수명종료로 야기되는 경제적 손실을 완화시킬 뿐만 아니라 후속위성의 대체나 위성망 운용계획 등에 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 열질량법과 그 불확실성 추정방법에 대한 기본이론에 대해 소개한다. 열질량법 잔여추진제 분석은 무궁화위성 데이터를 기초로 분석하였고 이러한 열질량법 불확실성 분석은 몬테카를로 방법을 사용하여 수행하였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해 열질량법을 사용한 잔여추진제 추정의 중요 파라미터를 알 수 있다.

In this paper, using the mass/CG measurement equipment and the MOI measurement equipment developed in-house, Pitch MOI and Roll MOI of test specimen were measured and measurement uncertainties on MOI were studied. The possible factors of the measurement uncertainty that could affect accuracy of MOI measurement were mass, spring, frequency, and length measurement-related elements. The each combined standard uncertainty of pitch MOI and roll MOI was estimated from the uncertainties of the above various factors.

Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are passive damping devices widely employed to mitigate the pedestrian-induced vibrations on footbridges. The TMD design must ensure an adequate performance during the overall life-cycle of the structure. Although the TMD is initially adjusted to match the natural frequency of the vibration mode which needs to be controlled, its design must further take into account the change of the modal parameters of the footbridge due to the modification of the operational and environmental conditions. For this purpose, a motion-based design optimization method is proposed and implemented herein, aimed at ensuring the adequate behavior of footbridges under uncertainty conditions. The uncertainty associated with the variation of such modal parameters is simulated by a probabilistic approach based on the results of previous research reported in literature. The pedestrian action is modelled according to the recommendations of the Synpex guidelines. A comparison among the TMD parameters obtained considering different design criteria, design requirements and uncertainty levels is performed. To illustrate the proposed approach, a benchmark footbridge is considered. Results show both which is the most adequate design criterion to control the pedestrian-induced vibrations on the footbridge and the influence of the design requirements and the uncertainty level in the final TMD design.

We investigate a surface-micromachined capacitive accelerometer with the grid-type electrodes surrounded by a perforated proof-mass frame. An electromechanical analysis of the microaccelerometer has been performed to obtain analytical formulae for natural frequency and output sensitivity response estimation. A set of prototype devices has been designed and fabricated based on a 4-mask surface-micromachining process. The resonant frequency of 5.8$\pm$0.17kHz and the detection sensitivity of 0.28$\pm$0.03mV/g have been measured from the fabricated devices. The parasitic capacitance of the detection circuit with a charge amplifier has been measured as 3.34$\pm$1.16pF. From the uncertainty analysis, we find that the major uncertainty in the natural frequency of the accelerometer comes from the micromachining error in the beam width patterning process. The major source of the sensitivity uncertainty includes uncertainty of the parasitic capacitance, the inter-electrode gap and the resonant frequency, contributing to the overall sensitivity uncertainty in the portions of 75%, 14% and 11%, respectively.
