A direct boundary element method(DBEM) is developed for thin bodies whose surfaces are rigid or compliant. Th eHelmholtz integral equation and its normal derivative integral equation are adopted simultaneously to calculate the pressure on both sides of the thin body, instead of the jump values across it, to account for the different surface conditions of each side. Unlike the usual assumption, the normal velocity is assumed to be discontinuous across the thin body. In this approach, only the neutral surface of the thin body has to be discontinuous across the thin body. In this approach, only the neural surface of the thin body has to be discretized. The method is validated by comparison with analytic and/or numerical results for acoustic scattering and radiation from several surface conditions of the thin body; the surfaces are rigid when stationary or vibrating, and part of the interior surface is lined with a sound-absorbing material.

Generally, normal concrete has the disadvantages of low tensile strength, low ductility and volume instability. To improve its performance, fiber reinforced cimentitious composite(FRCC) have been development. These composites are composed of cement, sand, water, a small amount of admixtures, and an optimal amount of fiber like synthetic fiber and steel fiber. This research investigates influence of sand, hybrid fiber and fiber volume fraction, and reports the test results of mechanical properties, fracture behavior and failure pattern of the FRCC. Our experiment was observed that sand mixed FRCC has lower compressive strength and higher bending strength than no sand mixed FRCC, and more steel fiber mixed FRCC has higher compressive strength and bending strength. Hybrid FRCC of steel and polypropylene had superior properties than FRCC of polypropylene only in same fiber volume fraction.

In this paper the application of variable structure control with sliding modes for improving the dynamic response and eliminating chattering of DC servo motor drive is presented. Sliding mode control is an effective means to keep a system insensitive to parameter variation and disturbances. In this method the control structure is changed discontinuously to farce the system dynamic to follow a predetermined trajectory. However the discontinuous change in control structure causes the controller input to chatter and gives non-zero steady state error. To overcome this problem, the discontinuous sign function is replaced by a proper continuous function, and presented through experiment.

A design principles of discontinuous control are studied and then are applied to position control of D. C. sevo drive fed by a four-quadrant chopper. Variable structure control with sliding mode gives fast dynamic response with no overshoot. And the resulting system bas good robust properties independent of the wide variations of electrical, mechanical parameters and external disturbances without any system identification. But the high frequency chatter component of control input in the sliding mode is undesirarable. A continuous control law that is a approximation to discontinuous control law is used for design.

This paper proposes a switching control method applicable to any affine, 2nd order nonlinear system with single input. The key contribution is to develop a control design method which uses a piecewise continuous Lyapunov function non-increasing at every discontinuous point. The proposed design method requires no restrictions except full state availability. To obtain a non-increasing, piecewise continuous Lyapunov function, we change the sign of off-diagonal term s of the positive definite matrix composing the former Lyapunov function according to the sign of the Inter-connection term. And we use the solution of inequalities which guarantee each Lyapunov function is non-increasing at any discontinuous point.

This study investigated 2- and 3-year-olds' story comprehension by story structure, Sixty-eight children from day-care centers in Seoul and Kyunggi province were tested story comprehension about causal, noncausal, discontinuous story presented by pictures. Story comprehension included literal, inferential, & empathic comprehension, Data were analysed by ANOVA(repeated measure) and t-test. The result showed that 3-year-olds scored higher in literal and inferential comprehension than 2-year-olds. Children's story comprehension(literal, inferential, & empathic) scores were higher in causal structure than discontinuous and noncausal structure.

For the mechanical stability assessment of a deep underground high-level waste repository. computer simulations using FLAC3D were carried out and important parameters including stress ratio, depth, tunnel size, joint spacing, and joint properties were chosen from sensitivity analysis. The main effect as well as the interaction effect between the important parameters could be investigated effectively using fractional factorial design . In order to analyze the stability of the disposal tunnel and deposition hole in a discontinuous rock mass, different modelings were performed under different conditions using 3DEC and the influence of joint distribution and properties, rock properties and stress ratio could be determined. From the three dimensional modelings, it was concluded that the conceptual repository design was mechanically stable even in a discontinuous rock mass.

The influence of rolling draughts on the formation of through-thickness textures in aluminum 5000X sheet was investigated by X-ray texture measurements and microstructure observations. In order to intensify the deformation inhomogeneities, cold rolling was performed without lubrication. Applying a large draught gave rise to the formation of the shear texture at the surface, whereas a normal plane strain testure formed at the surface after deformation with a small draught. The orientation density along the $\beta$-fiber orientations which developed in the center layer of the rolled specimen was also dependent on the strain gradients in a roll gap. Upon annealing, the deformed substructure of sample surfaces was transformed into a fine grained recrystallized microsturcture through extended recovery reaction. However, coarse grains developed after the discontinuous recrystallization which gave rise to the development of the Cube-texture.

Estimating underwater target state variables(position, velocity, course, etc) is necessary to counteract threatening targets. In passive sonar systems, conventional target motion analysis(TMA) techniques using bearing and frequency measurements of an underwater target are widely introduced. However, it is not clear how conventional TMA techniques can be used if some of frequency measurements are unavailable during parts of the scenario, partially unavailable frequency measurements are common in the ocean with complicated acoustic conditions where frequency measurements often come and go. This paper proposes a new TMA algorithm, which is robust to partially unavailable frequency measurements, using the frequency measurements fusion method.

Generally, power factor correction (PFC) techniques play an important role in the power supply technology. Many new circuit topologies and control strategies for PFC have been proposed. Among them, the brideless PFC (BPFC) reduces the number of switching devices and the losses and improves the power density as well. Moreover, by implementing the improved topology in the discontinous conduction mode (DCM) it ensures almost unity power factor in a simple and effective manner. In the DCM operation gives additional advantages such as zero-current turn-on in the power switches, zero-current turn-off in the output diode and reduces the complexity of the control circuitry. In this paper, a new control strategy for the BPFC is proposed. Also, the performance of the proposed system is demonstrated through experiments.
