In this paper, we present an observer-based robust controller which achieves not only robust stability but also an performance robustness for linear uncertain discrete-time systems. The performance robustness means that comparing the transient behavior of the uncertain system with a desired one generated by the nominal system, the deterioration of control performance (i.e. the error between the real response and the desired one) is suppressed without excessive control input. The control law consists of a state feedback law for the nominal system and a compensation input given by a feedback form of an estimated error signal. In this paper, we show that conditions for the existence of the observer-based controller are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed technique.

In many tropical regions, soil structures often fail under constant loads as a result of decreasing matric suction due to water infiltration. Most of the previous studies have been performed by infiltrating water in the soil specimen by keeping shear stress constant at 85-90% of peak shear strength in order to ensure specimen failure during water infiltration. However, not many studies are available to simulate the soil behavior when water is infiltrated at lower shear stress and how the deformations affect the soil behavior if the failure did not occur during water infiltration. This research aimed at understanding both the strength and deformation behavior of unsaturated soil during the course of water infiltration at 25%, 50% and 75% of maximum deviatoric stress and axial strain by keeping them constant. A unique stress-strain curve expresses the transient situation from unsaturated condition to failure state due to water infiltration is also drawn. The shearing-infiltration test results indicate that the water infiltration reduces matric suction and increase soil deformation. This research also indicates that unsaturated soil failure problems should not always be treated as shear strength problems but deformation should also be considered while addressing the problems related to unsaturated soils.

It is necessary to analyze the unsteady flow in the pipe network for the better operation and controls, but there are some problems in actual pipe network simulation, such as collecting a large amount of information in the field, operating highly upgraded computer system, and keeping a big storage device to run analysis program. The skeletonization method is used to cope with the problems in this paper. It is expected to reduce computation time, researcher's efforts, and costs for the analyzing the pipe network. The impact of individual pipe elements to the behavior of the water distribution system can be accounted in the process of skeletonization. However it is also important to study continuously about how to apply the skeletonization method for each of different cases, because inadequate uses may bring simulation to a false result. This paper introduces basic theories and skeletonizing examples in the actual pipe network in Dae-gu city.
