This paper presents a drive strategy to reduce torque ripple of a permanent magnet Brushless DC Motor(BLDCM) with short $120^{\circ}$ flat top Back Electromotive Force(Back-EMF). In this strategy, the phase Back-EMF is divided into four sections. Then, in each section the phase current is regulated by corresponding PWM duty ratio to compensatethe torque ripple caused by imperfect Back-EMF. A program based on this strategy has been implemented in MATLAB@Simulink. The validity of the presented method is verified by simulation results.

This research is devoted to analyzing mechanical-thermal post-buckling behavior of a micro-size beam reinforced with graphene platelets (GPLs) based on geometric imperfection effects. Graphene platelets have three types of dispersion within the structure including uniform-type, linear-type and nonlinear-type. The micro-size beam is considered to be perfect (ideal) or imperfect. Buckling mode shape of the micro-size beam has been assumed as geometric imperfection. Modified couple stress theory has been used for describing scale-dependent character of the beam having micro dimension. Via an analytical procedure, post-buckling path of the micro-size beam has been derived. It will be demonstrated that nonlinear buckling characteristics of the micro-size beam are dependent on geometric imperfection amplitude, thermal loading, graphene distribution and couple stress effects.

Buckling and post-buckling behaviors of geometrically imperfect annular sector plates made from nanoparticle reinforced composites have been investigated. Two types of nanoparticles are considered including graphene oxide powders (GOPs) and silicone oxide (SiO₂). Nanoparticles are considered to have uniform and functionally graded distributions within the matrix and the material properties are derived using Halpin-Tsai procedure. Annular sector plate is formulated based upon thin shell theory considering geometric nonlinearity and imperfectness. After solving the governing equations via Galerkin's technique, it is showed that the post-buckling curves of annular sector plates rely on the geometric imperfection, nanoparticle type, amount of nanoparticles, sector inner/outer radius and sector open angle.

Brown and Proschan(1983) introduced a model for imperfect repair. At each feilure of a device, with probability p, it is repaired completely or replaced with a new device(perfect repair), and with probability 1 - p, it is returned to the functioning state, but it is only recovered to its condition just prior to failure(imperfect repair or minimal repair). In this paper, we limit the number of consecutive minimal repairs by n. We find some useful properties about ${\mu}$$\_$k/, the expected time between the k-th and the (k + 1)-st repair under the assumption that only minimal repairs are performed. Then, we assign cost to each repair and find the value of n which minimizes the long-run average cost for a fixed p under the condition that distribution F of the device is DMRL.

This paper describes the beneficial effect of weldment imperfection of the cask impact limiter, by applying intermittent-weld, for impact energy absorbing behavior. From the point of view of energy absorbing efficiency of an energy absorber, it is desirable to reduce the crush load resistance and increase the deformation of the energy absorber within certain limit. This paper presents the test results of intermittent-weldment and the analysis results of cask impacts and the discussions of the improvement of impact mitigating effect by the imperfect-weldment. The rupture of imperfect weldment of an impact limiter improves the energy-absorbing efficiency by reducing the crush load amplitude without loss of total energy absorption. The beneficial effect of weldment imperfection should be considered to the cask impact limiter design.

In this paper, performance of a pseudonoise (PN) code tracking loop is analyzed and simulated for a direct-sequence/code-division multiple access ( DS/CDMA) system with imperfect power control in a multipath fading channel. A noncoherent first-order delay-locked loop (DLL) is considered as a PN code tracking loop. Power control error is modeled as a log-normally distributed random variable. From the simulation results, it is shown that for smaller discriminator offset, tracking jitter performance is improved while MTLL performance is degraded. It is shown that large power control error and heavy shadowing substantially degrade the PN tracking performance. The analysis in this paper can be applicable to design of PN code tracking loop for a DS/CDMA system.

The Real-Time-Pricing (RTP) brings greatest values in terms of economic incentives and efficiency among the dynamic pricing schemes. The electric power industry in Korea is mainly operated by publicly owned utilities and strongly regulated by the government; therefore, revenue reconciliation of RTP is inevitably required to prevent revenue deficits. In this paper, a revenue reconciliation of real-time pricing considering imperfect information on customer response is proposed to prevent revenue deficit and distortion of the spot price. A case study is present to verify the applicability of the proposed method.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems can achieve the increasing of performances by using an adaptive power allocation. The related previous work limited the transmit antenna number because orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs) yield full transmit rate only for two transmit antennas. We extend a robust system under imperfect channel estimation for four transmission antennas with maintaining a full transmission rate.

The method of Reverse Ranked Ordering-Set Sampling(RROSS) as an opposed Ranked Ordering-Set Sampling(ROSS) and Ranked-Set Sampling(RSS) is discussed. We propose the test statistic using sign test on RROSS. This method is effective when observations are expensive and measurement is perhaps destructive or invasive. This method obtains more informations than ROSS and RSS. The asymptotic relative efficiencies of RROSS with respect to ROSS and RSS are always greater than 1 for all sample sizes. We consider a simple model to describe the effect of imperfect judgment errors.

In this paper, we studied the effects of the power control imperfection on the system performances of a microcellular DS/CDMA system. The maximum user capacity, defined as the maximum number of users can be serviced simultaneouly, meeting a given voice quality, is first considered. Then the performence degradation due to the control error is analyzed. The frequency selective Raician channel model is used to characterize a microcellular mobile communication environment. The DS/CDMA system under consideration uses BPSK modulation and convolutional coding/Viterbe decoding with soft decision for forward error correction. It is shown that the user capacity falls linearly down with the increase of the power control error(in terms of the standard deviation in dB) and the interference from users outside the third tier cells have a minor effect on the performance. And the performance of DS/CDMA with the imperfect power control model is made to be less than 50% of that with perfect power control moded.
