This paper presents some inherent characteristics of a semi-active variable damper featuring electro-rheological (ER) fluid. The damping force of the damper can be selectively adjusted or controlled by employing electric field to the ER fluid domain. This is possible owing to the pressure drop across the piston occured by field-dependent variable yield stress of the ER fluid. This is fundamentally different than the performance of a conventional adjustable viscous damper. To demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority over the conventional one, the proposed damper is incorporated with a suspension system. A quarter car model with the suspension system is formulated and represented by a state equation. By choosing numerical values based on realistic package size, power requirements and suitable ER properties, the performance characteristics of the suspension system are obtained and evaluated in both frequency and time domains. The effects of constant electric field and on-off controlled electric field which relates to the damping force are also examined.

This paper considers the optimal design of accelerated life test in which the stress is linearly increased. It discusses the special case when the life distribution under constant stress follows an exponential distribution and the accelerated equation satisfies the inverse power law. It is assumed that cumulative damage is linear, that is, the remaining life of test units depends only on the current cumulative fraction failed and current stress(cumulative exposure model). The optimization criterion is the asymptotic variance of the maximum likelihood estimator of the log mean life at a design stress. The optimal increasing rate is obtained to minimize the asymptotic variance. Table of sensitivity analysis is given for the prior estimators of model parameters.

This paper proposes a novel maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control algorithm considering radiation to improve efficiency of PV system. The proposed algorithm is composed perturb and observe (PO) method and constant voltage (CV) method. PO method is simple to realize and CV method is possible to tracking MPP with low radiation. Response characteristics of proposed algorithm are compared to conventional MPPT algorithm such as PO method, IC method and CV method with radiation variation. This paper proves the validity of proposed algorithm through the analysis results.

This paper concerns closed hypersurfaces of dimension $n{\geq}2$ in the hyperbolic space ${\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1}$ of constant sectional curvature evolving in direction of its normal vector, where the speed equals a power ${\beta}{\geq}1$ of the mean curvature. The main result is that if the initial closed, weakly h-convex hypersurface satisfies that the ratio of the biggest and smallest principal curvature at everywhere is close enough to 1, depending only on n and ${\beta}$, then under the flow this is maintained, there exists a unique, smooth solution of the flow which converges to a single point in ${\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1}$ in a maximal finite time, and when rescaling appropriately, the evolving hypersurfaces exponential convergence to a unit geodesic sphere of ${\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1}$.

Dynamic stability of graded nonlocal nano-dimension plates on elastic substrate due to in-plane periodic loads has been researched via a novel 3- unknown plate theory based on exact position of neutral surface. Proposed theory confirms the shear deformation effects and contains lower field components in comparison to first order and refined 4- unknown plate theories. A modified power-law function has been utilized in order to express the porosity-dependent material coefficients. The equations of nanoplate have been represented in the context of Mathieu-Hill equations and Chebyshev-Ritz-Bolotin's approach has been performed to derive the stability boundaries. Detailed impacts of static/dynamic loading parameters, nonlocal constant, foundation parameters, material index and porosities on instability boundaries of graded nanoscale plates are researched.

This research was undertaken on the use of bottom ash as a fine aggregate in Controlled. Low-strength Material(CLSM). The mixtures contained constant fly ash. And four different level of bottom ash with fly ash contents, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% are investigated. Mixture proportions were developed for producing CLSM at three 28-day strength levels: removal with tools (less than $7kgf/cm^{2}$), removal by mechanical means (less than $200kgf/cm^{2}$), and removal with power equipment (less than $83kgf/cm^{2}$). To obtain these strengths, cement contents of 30, 60, and $120kg/cm^{3}$ were utilized. The compressive strength properties support the concept that by-product bottom ash can be successfully used in CLSM.

Let q be a power of 16. Every polynomial $P\in\mathbb{F}_q$[t] is a strict sum $P=A^2+A+B^3+C^3+D^3+E^3$. The values of A,B,C,D,E are effectively obtained from the coefficients of P. The proof uses the new result that every polynomial $Q\in\mathbb{F}_q$[t], satisfying the necessary condition that the constant term Q(0) has zero trace, has a strict and effective representation as: $Q=F^2+F+tG^2$. This improves for such q's and such Q's a result of Gallardo, Rahavandrainy, and Vaserstein that requires three polynomials F,G,H for the strict representation $Q=F^2$+F+GH. Observe that the latter representation may be considered as an analogue in characteristic 2 of the strict representation of a polynomial Q by three squares in odd characteristic.

Traditional maintenance planning is based on a constant maintenance interval for equipment life. In order to consider economic aspect for tm based preventive maintenance, preventive maintenance is desirable to be scheduled by RCM(Reliability-Centered Maintenance) evaluation. The main objective of RCM is to reduce the maintenance cost, by focusing on the most important functions of the system and avoiding or removing maintenance actions that are not strictly necessary. So, Markov state model is utilized considering stochastic state in RCM In this paper, a Markov state model much can be used for scheduling and optimization of maintenance is presented. The deterioration process of system condition is modeled by the stepwise Markov model in detail. Also, because the system is not continuously monitored, the inspection is considered. In case study, simulation results about RCM will be shown using the real historical data of combustion turbine generating unit in Korean power systems.

This paper presents a simple, robust excitation control system for synchronous generator using direct instantaneous voltage control(DIVC) method. The proposed DIVC excitation system can operate as high dynamics of power conversion system without any control gains such as Pill controller. And the transient overshoot of generator voltage can be suppressed with a simple time constant. For the continuous control of excitation system, the fast IGBT inverter system is used in this paper for exciter's field control. The proposed control scheme is verified by the computer simulations and experimental results in the prototype generation system.

This paper has done a three-dimensional FEM analysis of the PM claw pole stepping motor. As magnetization happens in the z-axis, which does not have a constant value, three-dimensional FEM analysis is necessary for characteristic analysis of PM claw pole stepping motors. Because it is a type of permanent magnet motor, the PM claw pole stepping motor naturally has a detent torque. This torque is known to show negative effects on motor performance. To improve motor performance, reducing the detent torque is very important during the motor design. This paper applied DOE for optimization of stator pole design of the motor. Also, we compared motor performance by applying a different type of rotor shape, dividing the permanent magnet. To verify the simulation results, an experiment was done.
