Nonlinear models for a thin ring rotating at a constant speed are developed. The geometric nonlinearity of displacements is considered by adopting the Lagrange strain theory for the circumferential strain. By using Hamilton’s principle, the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are derived, which describe the out-of-plane and in-plane bending, extensional and torsional motions. The natural frequencies are calculated from the linearized equations at various rotational speeds. Finally, the computation results from the nonlinear models are compared with those from a linear model. Based on the comparison, this study recommends which model is appropriate to describe the behavior of the rotating ring.

Design and analysis of a novel 2-phase 4/5 Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) is presented. The proposed motor employs a novel stator pole configuration. A novel SRM employs four-rotor and five-stator poles. The motor has no dead-zone and can be operate at any rotor position. The structure and operating principle are also described. The comparison between the proposed motor and a conventional two-phase 4/2 SRM is undertaken in this analysis. Furthermore, the Finite Element Analysis(FEA) and matlab-simulink are used to predict and simulate the performance of a proposed motor. The results of investigation indicate that the proposed structure offers a better performance in term of torque production.

Sludge discharger applied the principle of the air lift pump was investigated experimentally for the different design( diameter of discharge pipe, diameter and height of the inside and outside wall) and operating parameters(air flow rate, water level). And it was conducted that performance comparison about sludge discharger and conventional air lift pump. The result indicated that discharged liquid were increased with the increase of air flow rate and water level and decrease distance between inside and outside wall. The discharge pressure was increased with an increase of air flow rate and a decrease of the diameter of the discharge pipe, for both the sludge discharger and the airlift pump. The discharge pressures of the sludge discharger were 3-6 times higher than those of the air lift pump.

A half-cycle-waveform inversion based three reference modulations seven-level SPWM (TRM-SPWM) scheme with one carrier is proposed in this paper. To keep the same comparison logics for the modulations and carrier during the negative half cycle and the positive one for the modulations, in the negative half cycle of the modulations, the DC offsets related to the amplitude of the carrier are set on the three modulations, respectively. The seven-level SPWM waveform with dead time thereby is implemented with only one Digital Signal Processor (DSP) without any other attached logic circuit. The basis principle of the proposed TRM-SPWM is analyzed in detail, and the frequency spectrums of the conventional and the proposed schemes are derived and compared with each other through simulation. The DSP based implementation is presented and detailed experimental waveforms verify the accuracy and feasibility of the proposed TRM-SPWM scheme.

시스템의 특성을 이해하고 신뢰성 있는 제어를 위해서는 시스템에 대한 정확한 모델을 필요로 한다. 이러한 목적을 위해서 많은 연구자들에 의한 다양한 방법의 모델링 방법이 계속되어 연구되어지고 있다. 현재 많이 사용하는 모델링 방법 중에는 통계적 기법을 이용하는 것, first principle 방법을 이용하는 것, 지능형 기법을 이용하는 방법 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 통계적 방법인 fractional factorial 방법을 이용한 모델, Taguchi 방법을 이용한 모델, 그리고 지능형 방법인 신경회로망을 이용한 모델의 3가지 모델을 사용해서 각 모델의 학습오차와 예측오차 등의 특성을 비교하였다. 모델에 사용된 데이터는 비선형 시스템인 플라즈마 화학 증착 장비(Plasma-Enhnaced Chemical Vapor Deposition : PECVD)에 의해 증착된 산화막 실험 데이터이다. 각 모델에 대해서 PECVD 데이터를 사용하여 모델을 만들었을 때 각 모델의 학습오차와 학습오차 변위, 그리고 예측오차와 예측오차변위를 조사하였다. 세가지 모델 모두 학습오차가 예측오차보다 작았으며 변위 또한 학습오차변위가 예측오차변위보다 작았다. 본 연구 결과는 일반적으로 신경회로망에 의한 오차가 다른 통계적인 방법에 의한 오차보다 작음을 보여준다.

Dynamic analysis of an embedded single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) traversed by a moving nanoparticle, which is modeled as a moving load, is investigated in this study based on the nonlocal Timoshenko beam theory, including transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia. The governing equations and boundary conditions are derived by using the principle of virtual displacement. The Galerkin method and the direct integration method of Newmark are employed to find the dynamic response of the SWCNT. A detailed parametric study is conducted to study the influences of the nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio of the SWCNT, elastic medium constant and the moving load velocity on the dynamic responses of SWCNT. For comparison purpose, free vibration frequencies of the SWCNT are obtained and compared with a previously published study. Good agreement is observed. The results show that the above mentioned effects play an important role on the dynamic behaviour of the SWCNT.

This paper presents the effects of thermal environment and temperature-dependence of the material properties on axisymmetric bending of functionally graded (FG) circular and annular plates. The material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent and graded in the thickness direction. In order to accurately evaluate the effect of thermal environment, the initial thermal stresses are obtained by solving the thermoelastic equilibrium equations. Governing equations and the related boundary conditions, which include the effects of initial thermal stresses, are derived using the virtual work principle based on the elasticity theory. The differential quadrature method (DQM) as an efficient and robust numerical tool is used to obtain the initial thermal stresses and response of the plate. Comparison studies with some available results for FG plates are performed. The influences of temperature rise, temperature-dependence of material properties, material graded index and different geometrical parameters are carried out.

The creation of the hydraulic turbine flow factor map will undoubtedly benefit its design by decreasing both the design cycle time and product cost. In this paper, the geometry and flow variables, which effectively affect the flow factor, are proposed, analyzed and determined. These flow variables are further used to create the operating condition maps by using different model approaches categorized into Response Surface Method (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The accuracies of models created by different approaches are compared and the performances of model approaches are analyzed. The influences of chosen variables and the combination of Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and model approaches are also studied. The comparison results between predicted and actual flow factors suggest that two-hidden-layer Feed-forward Neural Network (FFNN), and one.hidden-layer FFNN with PCA has the best performance on forming this mapping, and are accurate sufficiently for hydraulic turbine design.

In this paper, an extended switched-inductor quasi-Z-source inverter (ESL-qZSI) with high boost voltage inversion ability is presented, which combines the SL-qZSI with the traditional boost converter, as well as improves the switched-inductor cell. Compared with the classic qZSI topologies, the proposed topology reduces the voltage stresses of capacitors, power devices and diodes for the same input and output voltage. Furthermore, the conversion efficiency is improved. The operation principle of the proposed topology is analyzed in details, which is followed by the comparison between the three topologies. In addition, the performance of the proposed topology is verified by simulations and experiments.
