Despite its success and wide application, base isolation system has been challenged for its passive nature, i.e., incapable of working with versatile external loadings. This is particularly exaggerated during near-source earthquakes and earthquakes with dominate low-frequency components. To address this issue, many efforts have been explored, including active base isolation system and hybrid base isolation system (with added controllable damping). Active base isolation system requires extra energy input which is not economical and the power supply may not be available during earthquakes. Although with tunable energy dissipation ability, hybrid base isolation systems are not able to alter its fundamental natural frequency to cope with varying external loadings. This paper reports an overview of new adventure with aim to develop adaptive base isolation system with controllable stiffness (thus adaptive natural frequency). With assistance of the feedback control system and the use of smart material technology, the proposed smart base isolation system is able to realize real-time decoupling of external loading and hence provides effective seismic protection against different types of earthquakes.

A new semiactive control strategy for seismic response reduction using a neuro-controller and a magnetorheological (MR) fluid damper is proposed. The proposed control system adopts a clipped algorithm which induces the MR damper to generate approximately the desired force. The improved neuro-controller, which was developed by employing the training algorithm based on a cost function and the sensitivity evaluation algorithm replacing an emulator neural network, produces the desired active control force, and then by using the clipped algorithm the appropriate command voltage is selected in order to cause the MR damper to generate the desired control force. The simulation results show that the proposed semiactive neuro-control algorithm is quite effective to reduce seismic responses. In addition, the semiactive control system using MR fluid dampers has many attractive features, such as bounded-input, bounded-output stability and small energy requirements. The results of this investigation, therefore, indicate that the proposed semiactive neuro-control strategy using MR fluid dampers could be effective used for control seismically excited structures.

본 논문은 2000년, 2005년, 2008년의 3개년을 대상으로 접속불변에너지산업연관표(76개의 산업분류)를 작성하여 집계통계와 함께 산업별 미시적 통계를 제시하고, 이를 이용하여 산업별로 에너지소비량의 변화에 영향을 미치는 요인과 그 크기를 분석하였다. 본 논문에서 부가가치 총액 변화, 부가가치비중 변화, 산출구조 변화, 에너지원단위 변화의 4가지 요인을 고려하였다. 분석모형으로는 우리나라가 수출주도형의 산업구조를 갖고 있다는 점을 고려하여 공급측 모형을 이용한 구조분해분석을 적용하였다. 집계통계를 이용한 분석결과에 따르면 시기에 상관없이 부가가치 총액 변화는 에너지소비량을 증가시켰지만, 산출구조 변화는 에너지소비 변화량을 감소시켰다. 부가가치비중 변화와 에너지원단위 변화에서는 시기별로 에너지소비 변화량의 증감이 반대로 도출되었다. 산업별 통계를 이용한 결과에 따르면 부가가치비중 변화는 시점과 상관없이 전자기기에서 에너지소비 변화량을 증가시키고, 석유제품, 시멘트, 석탄제품에서 에너지소비량을 감소시켰다. 그리고 에너지원단위 변화는 석유제품, 화력, 사업서비스, 금융 및 보험, 보관 및 운수관련서비스에서의 에너지원단위 변화가 에너지소비 변화량을 증가시켰다. 이상의 결과처럼 집계통계를 이용하면 각 산업에서의 현상이 나타나지 않는다. 정부가 정책을 입안하고 시행할 때에 집계통계만을 기준으로 하면 효율적 성과를 거두기 어렵다.

Laser welding of ASTM no. 1060 Al plate with a pulsed Nd: YAG laser of 200W average power was performed for end capping of KMRR nuclear fuel elements In this research, we performed basic welding experiments. Firstly, laser output parameters which affect laser welding parameters were studied by changing laser input parameters for effective welding of 1060 Al plates. We found that laser power density and pulse energy are important parameters for smooth bead shape. Secondly, welding parameters which affect weld width-to-depth ratio were studied by changing power density and pulse energy, shielding gas, and defocusing. We found that power density must be higher than 0.3 Mw/cm$^{2}$ pulse energy must be higer than 3 J. travel speed must not exceed 200mm/sec, laser focus must be existed beneath 2-3mm from plate surface and helium is proper shielding gas. Thirdly, we studied the weld defects of Al-1060 such as crack and porosity in lap-joint welding. We designed new welding geometry for crack free welding of Al-1060 plates, and obtained crack free weldment but with lack of fusion. However, with Ti, Zr grain refiner elements, we can weld Al plates without solidification hot crack. Finally, we studied the origin of porosity by changing shielding gas. And we found that porosity was resulted from entrapment of shielding gas by the collapsing keyhole.

New type of syngas generator based on the partial oxidation of biogas in volumetric permeable matrix reformers was suggested as an effective, adaptable and relatively simple way of syngas and hydrogen production for various low-scale applications. The use of biogas as an energy source reduces the chance of possible emission of two greenhouse gases, $CH_4$ and $CO_2$, into the atmosphere at the same time. Its nature of being a reproducible energy source makes its use even more attractive. Parametric screening studies were achieved as air ratio, biogas component ratio, input gas temperature, Steam/Carbon ratio. As the air ratio was low, the production of the hydrogen and carbon monoxide increased in the condition that 3D matrix reformer maintains the stable driving. As it was the simulation biogas in which the carbon dioxide content is high, the flammable range became narrow. And the flammable range was extended if the injected gas was preheated. The stable driving was possible in the low air ratio. The amount of hydrogen production was increased as S/C ratio increased.

As demands for the maritime communications increase, a variety of functions and information are required to exchange via elements of maritime systems, which leads communication traffic increases in maritime frequency bands, especially in VHF (Very High Frequency) band. Thus, effective resource management is crucial to the future maritime communication systems not only to the typical terrestrial communication systems. VHF data exchange system (VDES) enables to utilize more flexible configuration according to the communication condition. This paper focuses on the VDES communication system among VDES terminals such as shore stations, ship stations and aids to navigation (AtoN) to address efficient resource allocation. We propose a resource management method considering a MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technique in VDES, which has been widely used for modern terrestrial wireless networks but not for marine environments by scheduling the essential communication resources. We introduce the general channel model in marine environment and give two metrics, spectral and the energy efficiencies to examine our resource scheduling algorithm. Based on the simulation results and analysis, the proposed method provides a possibility to enhance spectral and energy efficiencies. Additionally, we present a trade-off relationship between spectral and energy efficiencies. Furthermore, we examine the resource efficiencies related to the imperfect channel estimation.

This study explored the process-structure-property (PSP) relationships in Ti-6Al-4V alloys fabricated through direct energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing. A systematic investigation was conducted to clarify how process variables-specifically, manipulating the cooling rate and energy input by adjusting the laser power and scan speed during the DED process-influenced the phase fractions, pore structures, and the resultant mechanical properties of the samples under various processing conditions. Significant links were found between the controlled process parameters and the structural and mechanical characteristics of the produced alloys. The findings of this research provide foundational knowledge that will drive the development of more effective and precise control strategies in additive manufacturing, thereby improving the performance and reliability of produced materials. This, in turn, promises to make significant contributions to both the advancement of additive manufacturing technologies and their applications in critical sectors.

전통적인 광굴절 결합 변환 상관기는 원하는 상관 출력을 얻기 위해 입력되는 신호 대 펌프빔의 세기비가 2광파 혼합의 전달함수가 포화될 정도로 충분히 커야 한다. 그 결과 입력영상에 잡음이 있을 경우 상환 출력의 신호 대 잡류비가 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 BaTiO₃의 특성을 이용하여 광굴절 결합 변환 상관기의 신호대 잡음비 개선 방법을 제안하였다. 입력빔의 세기비를 작게 하여 에너지 전달이 포화되지 않도록 하고, 신호빔과 매질의 표면이 이루는 각도를 크게 하여 매질내에서의 두 빔의 유효 상호작용 길이가 짧아지도록 하였다. 그 결과 고주파 영역의 이득은 줄어드는 반면 저주파 영역은 2광파 혼합의 포화이득을 가지게 되어 입력영상에 잡음이 있는 경우 신호 대 잡음비가 개선되었고, 입력빔의 세기비가 작아져 실제 구현이 용이해졌다.

A 12-bit 750 kS/s Dual-Sampling Successive Approximation Register Analog-to-Digital Converter (SAR ADC) technique with reduced Capacitive DAC (CDAC) is presented in this paper. By adopting the Adaptive Power Control (APC) technique for the two-stage latched type comparator and using bootstrap switch, power consumption can be reduced and overall system efficiency can be optimized. Bootstrapped switches also are used to enhance the sampling linearity at a high input frequency. The proposed SAR ADC reduces the average switching energy compared with conventional SAR ADC by adopting reduced the Most Significant Bit (MSB) cycling step with Dual-Sampling of the analog signal. This technique holds the signal at both comparator input asymmetrically in sample mode. Therefore, the MSB can be calculated without consuming any switching energy. The prototype SAR ADC was implemented in $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology and occupies $0.728mm^2$. The measurement results show the proposed ADC achieves an Effective Number-of-Bits (ENOB) of 10.73 at a sampling frequency of 750 kS/s and clock frequency of 25 MHz. It consumes only 0.13 mW from a 5.0-V supply and achieves the INL and DNL of +2.78/-2.45 LSB and +0.36/-0.73 LSB respectively, SINAD of 66.35 dB, and a Figures-of-Merit (FoM) of a 102 fJ/conversion-step.

ESS의 중요성은 네트워크 신뢰성 저하 및 재생 가능 에너지원의 확장으로 인한 전력 수요의 안정화로 인해 강조되었다. ESS (Energy Storage System)는 남은 전력을 저장하고 전력 수요를 충족시키기 위해 필요할 때 이를 사용하며 주로 태양 광 및 풍력과 연계하여 ESS 시스템을 구축한다. 본 논문에서는 낮은 일사량에 효과적인 Master-Slave 방법을 이용한 가정용 PV 충전 모듈을 제안한다. 모듈을 설계 한 후 고속 MPPT 알고리즘이 적용되어 PV 모듈의 비선형 출력 특성에서 최대 출력을 생성한다.
