In this study we consider a spares provisioning problem for repairable items in which a parts inventory system is incorporated. If a machine fails, a replacement part must be obtained at the parts inventory system before the failed machine enters the repair center. The inventory policy adopted at the parts inventory system is the (S, Q) policy. Operating times of the machine before failure, ordering lead times and repair times are assumed to follow a two-stage Coxian distribution. For this system, we develop an approximation method to obtain the performance measures such as steady state probabilities of the number of machines at each station and the probability that a part will wait at the parts inventory system. For the analysis of the proposed system, we model the system as a closed queueing network and analyze it using a product-form approximation method. A recursive technique as well as an iterative procedure is used to analyze the sub-network. Numerical tests show that the approximation method provides fairly good estimation of the performance measures of interest.

In this paper, we propose a method to develop a static equivalent model of an inverter-based distributed energy resource (DER), where the model is used for a steady-state fault analysis of a power grid. First, we introduce the characteristics of an inverter-based DER as well as its general configuration. Then, we derive the equivalent model of the DER on the basis of the characteristics. Last, the performance of the proposed method is proven by the results of computer simulations.

국가의 녹색성장 정책으로 풍력 및 태양광 등의 신 재생 에너지가 배전계통에 지속적으로 연계 운용될 것이다. 하지만 태양광 및 풍력의 출력변동으로 배전계통 전압품질에 상당한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 여기에 더하여 부하특성에 의한 부하전류 변동 또한 전압문제에 직접적으로 영향을 미친다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 PSCAD/EMTDC를 통해 가장 많이 이용되고 있는 부하모델인 ZIP모델을 이용하여 각각의 부하 특성과 3MW의 풍력이 배전계통 말단에 연계된 경우를 상정하여 풍속3[m/s]에서 12[m/s]로 급속한 변동시, 순시전압 데이터와 계통연계가이 드라인 의 순시전압변동 기준과 비교/분석을 통해 부하별 풍력발전의 전압변동특성을 해석하고자 한다.

This study is about the distributions of flow in an air conditioning duct used for marine and oil drilling ships. Three-dimensional steady state turbulence was assumed as a governing equation for describing the flow in the air conditioning duct in this study. We compared the flow field with the pressure distribution according to the inlet velocity for two types of air conditioning duct, and stress and safe factors were simulated using ANSYS W/B. The result of fluid analysis showed an increased pressure drop in the duct according to the inlet velocity. Furthermore, secondary flow and complicated flow characteristics occurred at the bellows zone.

PFA (power flow analysis) has been recognized as a useful method in vibration analysis of medium-to-high frequency ranges. Until now, PFA method has been developed for steady-state vibration problems. In this paper, PFA method has been expanded to transient problem. New energy governing equations are derived considering time dependent terms in beam and plate. Analytic solutions of those equations are found in simple beam and plate, and are verified by comparing with modal solutions.

The hard disk drive performance depends strongly on air bearing characterisitcs of the head slider. The objective of the slider design is to provide accurate positioning of the magnetic read/write element at the very small height above the disk. Application of the numerical methods is required due to complexity of the air bearing surface of the slider. The Boundary-Fitted Coordinate System Divergence Formulation method can be used for calculation of pressure distribution in the case of steep film thickness gradients. In the present work, the interpolating functions used in the expression for the Couette flow are modified in order to improve the solution characteristics in the extremely high compressibility number region. The advantages of the modified method are demonstrated on example of the flat skewed slider. Finally, the modi.ed method is applied to analysis of the static characteristics of the femto-slider. The analysis results indicate the effect of the silder's air bearing surface crown on the flying height and the pitching angle in steady state position.

In this study, a multigrid multi-integration method has been used to solve the steady-state, elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) point contact problem of a ball joint mechanism used in small reciprocating compressors. Pressure and film thickness profiles have been calculated at minimum and maximum Moes M parameter conditions during one revolution of crankshaft. The effects of various lubricant viscosities, loads, ball velocities, elastic modulli, and radii of curvature on the calculated pressure distribution and film thicknesses have been investigated. The results indicate that the viscosity of lubricant, the sliding velocity of ball, and the reduced radius of curvature have considerable effects on the minimum and central film thicknesses. Solutions obtained with the multigrid analysis are compared with results calculated according to the Hamrock ＆ Dowson relations for the minimum and central film thicknesses.

A stochastic model for an inventory system in which depletion of stock takes place due to random demand as well as random loss of items is studied under the assumption that the intervals between cussessive unit demands as well as those between cussessive unit losses, are independently and identically distributed random variables having negative exponential distributions with respective parameters .mu. and .lambda. It is further assumed that leadtime for each order is an outstanding-order-dependent random variable. The steady state probability distribution of the net inventory level is derived under the continuous review (S -1, S) inventory policy, from which the total expected coast expression is formulated.

The computer simulation program that calculates the transient heat load transferred to a passenger vehicle has been developed. Method for modeling mathematically various kinds of the heat load was presented and the derived equations were solved numerically. To find out the accuracy of the simulation program, the correlation of experimental and analytical results was demonstrated. By using this program, the typical characteristics about temperature distribution and instantaneous or of vehicle body color, material of glass, air-conditioning capacity, driving direction, and speed. Under a steady-state condition, the ratios of the heat load, resulting form vehicle body, glass, and interior part, were 35%, 29%, and 36%, respectively.

Analytical approach was followed in this work under both the steady state and transient operating conditions to find optimum boundary conditions, where the optically accessible quartz engine can run safely without breaking. Temperature and stress distribution was predicted by FEM analysis. In order to validate thermal boundary condition, model reliability and constraint, outside cylinder temperature was measured and previous study was also followed up numerically. To reduce thermal stress level, three types of outside cooling (natural, moderate forced and intensive forced convection) were considered. Effects of clamping force and combustion pressure were conducted to investigate mechanical stress level. Cylinder thickness, was changed to fine the optimum cylinder thickness. The versatile results achieved from this work can be basic indication, which is capable of causing a sudden quartz cylinder breaking during fired operation.
