In this paper, smooth and notched bar tensile tests of austenitic stainless steel 304 are performed, covering four different multi-axial stress states and six different strain rate conditions, to investigate the effect of the stress triaxiality and strain rate on fracture strain. Test data show that the measured true fracture strain tends to decrease with increasing stress triaxiality and strain rate. The test data are then quantified using the Johnson-Cook (J-C) fracture strain model incorporating combined effects of the stress triaxiality and strain rate. The determined J-C model can predict true fracture strain overall conservatively with the difference less than 20%. The conservatism in the strain-based acceptance criteria in ASME B&PV Code, Section III, Appendix FF is also discussed.

The studies of superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) for reduction of the fault current are actively underway in the worldwide. In this paper, we analyzed the characteristics of a new type SFCL using the conventional transformer and superconducting elements combined mutually. The secondary and third windings of this SFCL were connected the load and the superconducting element, respectively. The electric power was provided to load connected to secondary windings of the transformer in normal state of power system. On the other hand, when the fault occurred in power system, the fault current was limited by closing the line of third winding of the transformer. At this time, the ripple phenomenon of the fault was minimized by opening the fault line in secondary winding of a transformer in power system. The sensing of the fault state was performed by the CT(current transformer) and then turn-on and turn-off switching behavior of the SFCL was performed by the SCR(silicon-controlled rectifier). As a result, the proposed SFCL limited the fault current within a half-cycle efficiently. We confirmed that the fault current limitation rate was changed according to the winding ratio of a transformer.

본 논문에서는 이산적인 전송률 집합을 가진 실제 시스템에서 구현 가능한 가변 전송률 제어 및 전력 제어를 결합하는 알고리즘에 대하여 연구하였다. 이와 같은 연구는 문헌 [1]에서 선택적 전력 제어 (SPC)라는 알고리즘으로 제시되었지만, 사용자의 최소 전송률 보장과 신호대 간섭비의 변화에 따라 전송률 변화가 빈번하게 발생한다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전송률 적응을 고려하여 기존의 선택적 전력 제어 방법의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 새로운 모델과 반복 연산 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 그리고 수치 해석 및 모의 실험을 통해 보다 안정되고 낮은 전송 전력으로 향상된 효율을 가짐을 증명하였다.

Based on the activated sludge model(ASM), a mathematical model which represents the aerobic sludge digestion by sequencing batch reactor(SBR) combined with ultrasonic treatment was composed and performed in this study. Aerobic digestion using sequencing batch reactor(SBR) equipped with ultrasound treatment was also experimented for the purpose of parameter calibration. Most of the presented kinetic parameters in ASM or ASM2 could be used for the aerobic digestion of sludge but the parameters related in hydrolysis and decay rate needed modification. Hydrolysis rate constant of organic matter in aerobic condition was estimated at $0.3day^{-1}$ and the maximum growth rate for autotrophs in aerobic condition was $0.618day^{-1}$. Solubilization reactions of particulate organics and nitrogen by ultrasonication was added in this kinetic model. The solubilization rate is considered to be proportional to the specific energy which is defined by specific ultrasound power and sonication time. The solubilization rate constant by ultrasonication was estimated at $0.202(W/L)^{-1}day^{-1}$ in this study. Autotrophs as well as heterotrophs also decomposed by ultrasonic treatment and the nitrification reaction was limited by the lack of autotrophs accumulation in the digester.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) combined with time division multiplexing (TDM), in this paper called OFDM/TDM, can overcome the high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) problem of the conventional OFDM and improve the robustness against long time delays. In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) performance of OFDM/FDM in a frequency-selective Rayleigh fading. channel is evaluated by computer simulation. It is shown that the use of frequency-domain equalization based on minimum mean square error criterion (MMSE-FDE) can significantly improve the BER performance, compared to the conventional OFDM, by exploiting the channel frequency-selectivity while reducing the PAPR or improving the robustness against long time delays. It is also shown that the performance of OFDM/FDM designed to reduce the PAPR can bridge the conventional OFDM and single-carrier (SC) transmission by changing the design parameter.

본 논문에서는 고출력 증폭기 (High Power Amplifier; HPA)의 비선형 특성에 관계없이 시스템의 비트오율 (Bit Error Rate; BER) 성능을 유지하면서 동시에 효율적으로 PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)을 감소시킬 수 있는 CCP (Companding Combined with Predistorter) 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 CCP 기법은 기존에 본 저자들이 제안한 Companding 기법이 가지고 있는 Compression 특성과 HPA의 비선형 왜곡 특성에 의해 발생되는 전송 신호의 왜곡으로 인해 나타나는 시스템의 BER 성능 열화를 보완하기 위해 Predistorter를 기존의 Companding 기법에 결합하였다. 따라서, 제안된 CCP 기법은 HPA의 비선형 특성에 관계없이 효율적으로 PAPR을 감소시킬 수 있으며 동시에 시스템의 BER 성능도 유지시킬 수 있는 PAPR 감소 방식이라고 할 수 있다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 CCP 기법은 TD (Total Degradation) 측면에서 Predistorter를 고려한 Clipping 기법과 Wang이 제안한 Companding 기법에 비해 모든 변조방식에서 가장 낮은 TD 성능을 나타내고 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a combined plastic and creep constitutive model of A533B1 pressure vessel steel to simulate progressive deformation of nuclear pressure vessels under severe accident conditions. To develop the model, recent tensile test data covering a wide range of temperatures (from RT to 1,100 ℃) and strain rates (from 0.001%/s to 1.0%/s) was used. Comparison with experimental data confirms that the proposed combined plastic and creep model can well reflect effects of temperature and strain rate on tensile behaviour up to failure. In the companion paper (Part II), the proposed model will be used to simulate OECD lower head failure (OLHF) test data.

본 연구는 저압 전력선 망을 통한 전력선 통신(PLC: Power Line Communication)에 관한 내용이다. 전력선 통신이 가지는 주요 잇점은 기존의 인프라구조의 사용이다. 전력선 통신 채널은 전형적으로 전력선의 길이와 주파수가 증가함에 의해 신호 감쇠를 나타내는 주파수 선택적 페이딩(Frequency-Selective Fading)을 가지는 다중경로 반사 전파로 모델링 할 수 있다. OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)은 다수개의 낮은 데이터 율의 반송파들이 높은 전송율을 이루는 형태로 송신기에서 조합되는 변조 기법이다. 모델링한 다중 경로 반사 전력선 채널에 음향 신호를 입력하여 체계의 성능을 모의 실험을 통해 분석, 검증하였다.

In this paper, cognitive radio and simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) are effectively combined to design a spectrum-efficient and energy-efficient transmission paradigm. Specifically, a novel SWIPT-based primary-secondary cooperation model is proposed to increase the transmission rate of energy/spectrum constrained users. In the proposed model, a multi-antenna secondary user conducts simultaneous energy harvesting and information forwarding by means of power splitting (PS), and tries to maximize its own transmission rate under the premise of successfully assisting the data delivery of the primary user. After the problem formulation, joint power splitting and beamforming optimization algorithms for decode-and-forward and amplify-and-forward modes are presented, in which we obtain the optimal PS factor and beamforming vectors using a golden search method and dual methods. Simulation results show that the proposed SWIPTbased primary-secondary cooperation schemes can obtain a much higher level of performance than that of non-SWIPT cooperation and non-cooperation schemes.
