The surface velocities were estimated by the Maximum Cross Correlation(MCC) method and an inverse method from AVHRR/SST. In the results of MCC, discontinuous flow fields were estimated in the case that cross correlation coefficient was above 0.5 but these flow pattern disappeared when cross correlation coefficient was above 0.9. This estimation was conspicuous near SST patterns of eddies. In the results of inverse method, flow field was continuous and eddy motion was estimated definitely but the velocity was overstimated in compared with MCC result over the area of small temperature gradient. This result may be due to temperature error included in SST calculated and spatial variation of heat flux.

Madsen et al. (2002)이 제안한 일차원 고차 Boussinesq 방정식에 대하여 불연속갤러킨 유한요소법(Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Method)을 적용하였다. 연속적인 Boussinesq 방정식에서 각 요소경계에 불연속을 허용할 수 있도록 공간차분하고, 시간방향으로 4차 Runge-Kutta 시간적분법, 각 요소사이에는 Lax-Friedrichs 수치흐름률을 사용하였다. 계산영역의 양쪽에 불필요한 파랑의 반사를 억제하도록 흡수층을 설치하였으며, 영역 내부에서 조파할 수 있도록 하였다. Luth et al.(1994)의 수중잠제 실험에 적용하여 관측값과 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a Phase-Shift Triple Full-Bridge (PSTB) Zero-Voltage Zero-Current-Switching (ZVZCS) converter with a high switching frequency and high efficiency. In the proposed converter, all three bridge legs are shared leading-legs, and all three transformers work in the Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM). Thus, all of the switches and diodes in the PSTB ZVZCS can be soft switched. Moreover, since all of the transformers can pass energy from the primary-side to the secondary-side when their primary-side currents are not zero, there is no circulating current. As a result, the PSTB ZVZCS converter can achieve a high efficiency at high operating frequencies. A theoretical analysis and the characteristics of the proposed converter are presented and verified on a 1MHz 200~300V/24V 1.2kW hardware prototype. The proposed converter can reach a peak efficiency of 96.6%.

A $C^*$-convergence algorithm for finite element analysis has been proposed by Bigdeli and Kelly (1997) and elements for the first three levels applied to planar elasticity have been defined. The fourth level element for the new family is described in this paper and the rate of convergence for the $C^*$-convergence algorithm is investigated numerically. The new family adds derivatives of displacements as nodal variables and the number of nodes and elements can therefore be kept constant during refinement. A problem exists on interfaces where the derivatives are required to be discontinuous. This problem is addressed for curved boundaries and a procedure is suggested to resolve the excessive interelement continuity which occurs.

A linearly tapered, doubly symmetric thin-walled closed member, such as power-transmission towers and tourist towers, are often characterized by local variation in mass and/or rigidity, due to additional mass and rigidity. On the preliminary stage of design the closed-form solution is more effective than the finite element method. In order to propose approximate solutions, the discontinuous and local variation in mass and/or rigidity is treated continuously by means of a usable function proposed by Takabatake(1988, 1991, 1993). Thus, a simplified analytical method and approximate solutions for the free and forced transverse vibrations in linear elasticity are demonstrated in general by means of the Galerkin method. The solutions proposed here are examined from the results obtained using the Galerkin method and Wilson-${\theta}$ method and from the results obtained using NASTRAN.

We study thickness-shear (TSh) free vibrations of an unbounded, laminated elastic plate with three layers of different materials. One of the two interfaces is slightly weakened as described by the shear-lag model that allows the displacement to be discontinuous across the interface. A frequency equation is obtained from the linear theory of elasticity. A perturbation solution of the frequency equation is obtained from which the frequency shifts of TSh modes due to the weakened interface can be calculated. It is shown that the frequency shifts of TSh modes of different orders are different, and they satisfy different conditions when different interfaces are weakened. These conditions are obtained which can potentially be used as criteria for determining specifically which interface is weakened.

This study aimed to obtain fundamental data for demonstrating biodiversity of vegetation of East Asian alder (Alnus japonica) Forest Wetland of Heonilleung Royal Tombs. A total of 166 vascular plants (159 species, three subspecies, three varieties, and one cultivar) belonging to 132 genera and 59 families were found, accounting for 8.3% of 1,996 vascular plant species found in Seoul. Therophyte was the most common life-form of plants in Heonilleung Wetland. As for rare plant species, one Least Concern (LC) species was found. There were 15 floristic regional indicator species in the research area. Three of them belonged to floristic grades III and IV. This indicates that their habitats are discontinuous and isolated to some degree. Nineteen invasive alien plant species were found, most of which were introduced from North America after the year 1964 with a spread rate of V (widespread, WS).

This study proposes a control method using a repetitive controller for a boost-type PFC rectifier with an APD circuit structure to improve the current distortion caused by DCM condition. Conventional proportional integral controllers have bandwidth limitations in DCM conditions. The performance improvement of the APD controller in the DCM region is verified through simulations and experiments on the compensation of harmonics by the repetitive controller.

The energy balance (EB) model of a primary side regulation (PSR) fly-back converter in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is discussed in this paper. Based on this EB model, the stability of a PSR fly-back converter in the pulse skipping mode (PSM) is analyzed, and a self-adapting modulation factor control strategy is proposed. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that by saving an optocoupler and correlative circuits, which are necessary in traditional PSM fly-back converters, the modulation factor tolerance controlled by this method is 1.26% on average, corresponding to the ideal value. Compared with traditional fly-back PSM controllers, the power saved in the sampler/comparator modules is 87% on average for a load range of $1{\Omega}$ to $1k{\Omega}$.

A tensegrity module structure is suitable type for spatial structures. Because the tensegrity is composed of set of discontinuous compressive elements (struts) floating within a net of continuous tensile elements (cables), the system can provide the basis for lightweight and strong. However, despite the advantages of tensegrities, design and fabrication of the systems have difficulty because of form-finding methods, pin-connection and the control of prestress. In this paper, the new pin-connection method was invented to make the tensegrity module. The production process and practical implementation of uniformly compressed the tensegrity structures by using a UTM are described. Experiments showed the mechanical response and failure aspects of the tensegrity system.
