This paper proposes a single-input multiple-output (SIMO) self-resonant wireless power transmission system for transmitting power to multiple receivers and the characteristics are simulated and measured. A 600 mm diameter transmission single loop, a 600 mm diameter helical transmission resonant coil, an external diameter 900 mm planar spiral reception resonant coil, and an $80{\times}60mm^2$ flat plate square coil as a receiver are used to form a wireless power transmission system 600 mm away with the table structure. For optimal characteristics, the wireless power transmission coils are designed by EM simulation and equivalent circuit analysis, and the characteristics are simulated and measured. The variation of the efficiency with distance from the center of the spiral resonant coil is analyzed and the measured efficiency is 57% for one receiver and for the two receivers, the efficiency is 37% for each receiver.

The bonded tendon was adopted to the reactor building of some operating nuclear power plants in Korea and the assessment of the effective prestress force on the bonded tendon is being issued as an important pending problem for continuous operation beyond their design life. The sensitivity analysis of various parameters was carried out to evaluate the effective prestress force using the system identification technique and the optimal parameters were determined for SI technique in this study. The 1/5 scaled post-tensioned concrete beams with the bonded tendon type were manufactured and in order to investigate the relationship of the natural frequency and the displacement to the effective prestress force, impact test, SIMO sine sweep test and bending test using the optical fiber sensor and the compact displacement transducer were carried out. As a result of tests, both the natural frequency and the displacement show the good relationship with the effective prestress force and both parameters are available for the SI technique to estimate the effective prestress force.

Blind identification and equalization of communication channel is important because it does not need training sequence, nor does it require a priori channel information. So, we can increase the bandwidth efficiency. The linear prediction error method is perhaps the most attractive in practice due to the insensitive to blind channel estimator and equalizer length mismatch as well as for its simple adaptive algorithms. In this paper, we propose method for fractionally spaced blind equalizer with arbitrary delay using one-step forward prediction error filter from second-order statistics of the received signals for SIMO channel. Our algorithm utilizes the forward prediction error as training sequences for data estimation and desired signal for channel estimation.

본 논문은 주파수 선택적인 MIMO 시스템에서 스트림간의 간섭을 효과적으로 제거하는 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 계산적으로 복잡도가 높은 리스트 검색 기법 대신에 채널 복호기에서 사용되는 사후 확률(a posteriori probability, APP)를 얻기 위해 반복적으로 스트림간 간섭을 제거하는 선형 이퀄라이저를 사용하였다. 반복회수가 증가할수록 이퀄라이저에 의해 채널은 점차 single input multiple output (SIMO) 형태의 채널에 가까워지고 MIMO 이퀄라이저의 최소평균제곱오차 (MMSE)에 가까워진다. HSPA UMTS standard를 따르는 $2{\times}2$ MIMO 시스템의 다운링크 통신 모의실험을 통해 제안된 기법이 기존의 수신 기법에 비해 상당한 성능이득을 얻을 수 있음을 확인할 수 있다.

In this paper, the decentralized neural network control of the reference compensation technique is proposed to control a 2-DOF inverted pendulum on an x-y plane. The cart with the 2-DOF inverted pendulum moves on the x-y plane and the 2-DOF inverted pendulum rotates freely on the x-y axis. Since the 2-DOF inverted pendulum is divided into two 1-DOF inverted pendulums, the decentralized neural network control is applied not only to balance the angle of pendulum, but also to control the position tracking of the cart. Especially, a circular trajectory tracking is tested for position tracking control of the cart while maintaining the angle of the pendulum. Experimental results show that position control of the inverted pendulum system is successful.

A viscoelastic constitutive equation of rubber that is under small oscillatory load superimposed on large static deformation is proposed. The proposed model is derived through linearization of Simo's viscoelastic constitutive model and reference configuration transformation. The proposed constitutive equation is extended to a generalized viscoelastic constitutive equation that includes widely used Mormin's model as a special case using objective stress increment. Static deformation correction factor is introduced to consider the influence of Pre-strain on the relaxation function. The proposed constitutive model is tested fer dynamic behavior of rubber specimens with different carbon black contents. It is concluded from the test that the viscoelastic constitutive equation for filled rubber must include the influence of the static deformation on the time effects. The suggested constitutive equation with static deformation correction factor shows good agreement with test values.

Cross regulation is a key technical issue of single-inductor multiple-output (SIMO) DC-DC converters. This paper investigates the cross regulation in single-inductor dual-output (SIDO) Buck converters with continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation. The expressions of the DC voltage gain, control to the output transfer function, cross regulation transfer function, cross coupled transfer function and impedance transfer function of the converter are presented by the time averaging equivalent circuit approach. A small signal model of a SIDO CCM Buck converter is built to analyze this cross regulation. The laws of cross regulation with respect to various load conditions are investigated. Simulation and experiment results verify the theoretical analysis. This study will be helpful for converter design to reduce the cross regulation. In addition, a control strategy to reduce cross regulation is performed.

Zero Forcing (ZF) 검파 결과는 신호 대 잡음 환경이 양호한 경우 약 80% 이상이 Maximum Likelihood (ML) 검파 결과와 일치한다. 간단한 검증기를 통해 ZF 검파 결과가 ML 검파 결과와 일치하는지 알 수 있다면 검증 결과에 따라 복잡한 ML 검파 과정이나 별도의 검색 과정을 생략할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 multiple input multiple output (MIMO) 시스템에서 ZF 검파 결과에 대한 검증 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 검증 방식은 ZF 검파 결과를 이용하여 MIMO 신호를 single input multiple output (SIMO) 신호로 변환한 후 검파를 수행하면 안테나 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있고 잡음 분산이 줄어드는 효과를 이용하였다. 제안된 검증기는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과 신호 대 잡음이 양호한 경우 80%이상의 정확한 true 판정 확률을 얻었으며 이때 false 판정 확률은 $10^{-4}$이하를 보였다.

A two-wheeled balancing mobile robot (TWBMR) has the characteristics of both nonlinear and underactuated system. In this paper, the disturbances acting on a TWBMR are classified into body disturbance and wheel disturbance. Additionally, we describe a nonlinear disturbance observer, which is suitable as a single input multi-output (SIMO) system for the longitudinal motion of TWBMR. Finally, we propose a reasonable disturbance compensation technique that combines the indirect reference input of equilibrium point and the direct torque compensation input. Simulations and experimental results show that the proposed disturbance compensation method is an effective way to achieve robust postural stability, specifically on inclined terrains.

This paper considers the buckling and post-buckling behavior of empty metal storage tanks under wind load. The structures of such tanks may be idealized as cantilever cylindrical shells, and the structural response is investigated using a computational model. The modeling employs a doubly curved finite element based on a theory by Simo and coworkers, which is capable of handling large displacements and plasticity. Buckling results for tanks with four different geometric relations are presented to consider the influence of the ratios between the radius and the height of the shell (R/L), and between the radius and the thickness (R/t). The studies aim to clarify the differences in the shells regarding their imperfection-sensitivity. The results show that thin-walled short tanks, with R/L = 3, display high imperfection sensitivity, while tanks with R/L = 0.5 are almost insensitive to imperfections. Changes in the total potential energy of tanks that would buckle under the same high wind pressures are also considered.
