Multiple level performance of seismically isolated elevated storage tank isolated with multi-phase friction pendulum bearing is investigated under totally 60 records developed for multiple level seismic hazard analysis (SLE, DBE and MCE). Mathematical formulations involving complex time history analysis have been proposed for analysis of typical storage tank by multi-phase friction pendulum bearing. Multi-phase friction pendulum bearing represent a new generation of adaptive friction isolation system to control super-structure demand in different hazard levels. This isolator incorporates four concave surfaces and three independent pendulum mechanisms. Pendulum stages can be set to address specific response criteria for moderate, severe and very severe events. The advantages of a Triple Pendulum Bearing for seismic isolation of elevated storage tanks are explored. To study seismic performance of isolated elevated storage tank with multi-phase friction pendulum, analytical simulations were performed with different friction coefficients, pendulum radii and slider displacement capacities.

In this paper, we propose a model-based fault diagnosis method applied to vibration data. The fault detection is performed by comparing estimated parameters with normal parameters and deciding if the observed changes can be explained satisfactorily in terms of noise or undermodelling. The key feature of this method is that it accounts for the effects of noise and model mismatch. And we aslo design a classifier for the fault isolation by applying the multiclass SVM (Support Vector Machine) to the estimated parameters. The proposed fault detection and isolation methods are applied to an engine vibration data to show a good performance. The proposed fault detection method is compared with a signal-based fault detection method through a performance analysis.

Several stubs are added to a rectangular slot for giving an improvement in both return loss and isolation for a slot-coupled microstrip directional coupler. Its closed-form design equations are derived by velocity equalization of two normal modes and network equivalence. It was verified that nearly ideal performance is achievable by design examples.

In this paper, the effects of encoder fault and current sensor fault in direct torque controlled induction motor drives are analyzed. On the basis of the analyzed results, a observer based fault detection and isolation scheme is presented. To verify the performance of proposed algorithms, the speed control system is designed for induction motor and evaluated by experimental study. Experimental results various type of sensor faults show the detection and isolation performance of the SFDIS and the applicability of this scheme to fault tolerant control system design.

Vibration disturbances generated by reaction wheels may cause serious problems in high precision pointing spacecraft missions. Implementation of vibration isolator is a practical solution to meet the high pointing stability requirement placed on precision payloads. In this paper, development of hybrid vibration isolator that combines passive and active component is described. Vibration isolation performance of the developed isolator is evaluated using reaction wheel disturbance model. Hybrid isolation results obtained using FxLMS algorithm show clear improvement compared to the results obtained using only passive means.

In this paper, isolation strategies for improving broadband circuit performance and preventing noise arising from circuit component coupling are presented. Equivalent circuit parameters, including parasitic elements, are determined for capacitor and inductor structures. The effects of the relative position of the components with regard to a ground plane are considered in the equivalent circuits. Novel meshed ground structures are investigated to determine a configuration that improves the overall circuit performance.

As large structures such as highrise buildings and cable-stayed bridges become lighter and more flexible, the necessity of structural control for reducing excessive displacement and acceleration due to seismic excitation is increased. As a means to minimize seismic damages, various base isolation systems are adopted or considered for adoption. In this study, the seismic performance of M dampers are studied and compared with that of the NZ system as a base isolation system As the control algorithm of the MR damper, the clipped-optimal control(applied LQR method) is employed. A five-story building is modeled and the seismic performance of the two systems subjected to three different earthquakes is compared. The results show that the M damper system can provide superior protection than the NZ system for a wide range of ground motions.

An improved principal component analysis (PCA) method is applied for sensor fault detection and isolation (FDI) in a nuclear power plant (NPP) in this paper. Data pre-processing and false alarm reducing methods are combined with general PCA method to improve the model performance in practice. In data pre-processing, singular points and random fluctuations in the original data are eliminated with various techniques respectively. In fault detecting, a statistics-based method is proposed to reduce the false alarms of $T^2$ and Q statistics. Finally, the effects of the proposed data pre-processing and false alarm reducing techniques are evaluated with sensor measurements from a real NPP. They are proved to be greatly beneficial to the improvement on the reliability and stability of PCA model. Meanwhile various sensor faults are imposed to normal measurements to test the FDI ability of the PCA model. Simulation results show that the proposed PCA model presents favorable performance on the FDI of sensors no matter with major or small failures.

The concept of base isolation for equipment is well known. Its application in buildings and structures is rather challenging. Introduction of horizontal flexibility at the base helps in proper energy dissipation at the base level thus reducing the seismic demand of the super structure to be considered during design. The present study shows the results of a series of numerical simulation studies on seismic responses of secondary system (SS) housed in non-isolated and base-isolated primary structures (PS) including equipment-structure interactions. For this study the primary structure consists of two similar single bay three-store reinforced cement concrete (RCC) Frame building, one non-isolated with conventional foundation and another base isolated with Lead plug bearings (LPB) constructed at IIT Guwahati, while the secondary system is modeled as a steel frame. Time period of the base isolated building is higher than the fixed building. Due to the presence of isolator, Acceleration response is significantly reduced in both (X and Y) direction of Building. It have been found that when compared to fixed base building, the base isolated building gives better performance in high seismic prone areas.
