The present paper is focused on analyzing a set of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation data on reducing orthogonal peak base moment coefficients on a high-rise rectangular building with wings. The study adopts an aerodynamic optimization procedure (AOP) composed of CFD, artificial neural network (ANN), and genetic algorithm (G.A.). A parametric study is primarily accomplished by altering the wing positions with 3D transient CFD analysis using k - ε turbulence models. The CFD technique is validated by taking up a wind tunnel test. The required design parameters are obtained at each design point and used for training ANN. The trained ANN models are used as surrogates to conduct optimization studies using G.A. Two single-objective optimizations are performed to minimize the peak base moment coefficients in the individual directions. An additional multiobjective optimization is implemented with the motivation of diminishing the two orthogonal peak base moments concurrently. Pareto-optimal solutions specifying the preferred building shapes are offered.

The novel control method of ZVS Full-bridge PWM converter with pulse load current is proposed. This new control method can reduce the switching loss of switches during no load condition. Moreover by using feed-forward load current information this method can obtain better transient dynamics compared to the system with only linear feedback control.

This paper shows adaptive control using RHPC(Receding Horizon Predictive Control) with equality constraint which applied to Electric Furnace. The control strategy includes monotonic weighting (improving transient response) and pre-filtering (enhancing robustness), which is effective on real process. We can observe the performance of RHPC and confirm the practical aspect of RHPC with unmodelled dynamics through the experiment of Electric Furnace. Finally, this paper verifies the feasibility of RHPC to real process.

화학 반응은 원자나 분자가 서로 작용하여 결합이 분해되거나 생성되는 동적인 과정이다. 일반적으로 이러한 동적인 과정은 매우 빠른 시간 내에 일어나기 때문에 (보통수 펨토초에서 수 피코초 내에 일어난다) 화학 반응 도중에 나타나는 중간체(transient structure)의 구조 변화나 분자의 움직임을 실시간으로 잡기 위해서는 매우 높은 시간 분해능이 필요하다. 이러한 중간체의 구조 동역학(structural dynamics)은 그 대상이 되는 분자의 화학적/생물적 기능에 매우 중요한 정보를 제공하기 때문에 실시간 분자 동역학 연구는 복잡한 화학적/생물적 시스템의 메커니즘 규명 연구에 필수적이라고 할 수 있다.

Traditional service-level agreements (SLAs), defined by average delay or packet loss, often camouflage the instantaneous performance perceived by end-users. We define a set of metrics for service availability to quantify the performance of Internet protocol (IP) backbone networks and capture the impact of routing dynamics on packet forwarding. Given a network topology and its link weights, we propose a novel technique to compute the associated service availability by taking into account transient routing dynamics and operational conditions, such as border gateway protocol (BGP) table size and traffic distributions. Even though there are numerous models for characterizing topologies, none of them provide insights on the expected performance perceived by end customers. Our simulations show that the amount of service disruption experienced by similar networks (i.e., with similar intrinsic properties such as average out-degree or network diameter) could be significantly different, making it imperative to use new metrics for characterizing networks. In the second part of the paper, we derive goodness factors based on service availability viewed from three perspectives: Ingress node (from one node to many destinations), link (traffic traversing a link), and network-wide (across all source-destination pairs). We show how goodness factors can be used in various applications and describe our numerical results.

In recent years a unique drug delivery system named as the transdermal drug delivery system has been developed which can deliver drug particles to the human skin without using any external needle. The solid drug particles are accelerated by means of high speed gas flow through a shock tube imparting enough momentum so that particles can penetrate through the outer layer of the skin. Different systems have been tried and tested in order to make it more convenient for clinical use. One of them is the contoured shock tube system (CST). The contoured shock tube consists of a classical shock tube connected with a correctly expanded supersonic nozzle. A set of bursting membrane are placed upstream of the nozzle section which retains the drug particle as well as initiates the gas flow (act as a diaphragm in a shock tube). The key feature of the CST system is it can deliver particles with a controllable velocity and spatial distribution. The flow dynamics of the contoured shock tube is analyzed numerically using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). To validate the numerical approach pressure histories in different sections on the CST are compared with the experimental results. The key features of the flow field have been studied and analyzed in details. To investigate the performance of the CST system flow behavior through the shock tube under different operating conditions are also observed.

Recently, a load/unload(L/UL) system is adopted to the hard disk drive(HDD) due to its advantages such as lower power consumption, larger data zone, simpler fabrication of disk due to no bumped parking zone, and rarer contact between slider and media. An analysis of the transient motion for the slider is very important to design an air bearing surface(ABS) of the slider to secure the stable performance of the system. During the L/UL process, however, there are several issues occurred such as contact or collision between slider and media. Sometimes this will cause the system failure. In this study, the dynamics of a pico slider during the loading process are investigated through numerical simulation using FEM analysis and experiment. Ramp profile and angular velocity of the swing arm actuator are very important parameters for the design of L/UL system to avoid collision between slider and disk.

This paper presents a new dynamic model which is represented by the second order differenatial equation and itcludes the robot arm dynamics as well as the actuator dynamics. The model exhibits excellent performance in the steady state and transient response. In addition the time varing nonlinear and coupled dynamic system has been linearized and decoupled by using nonlinear feedback and linearization method. In this case a pole assignment law is used to improve stability, and the optimal control altorithm is applied to the error equation to minimize the path error. In applying the proposed algorithm to the three joint manipulator with actuators, we obtained very encouraging results.

Dynamics of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell is specially important when the system is frequently working on transient conditions. Even though the dynamics of proton exchange membrane fuel cell for residential power generation is less critical than that of PEMFC for transportation application, the system dynamics of PEMFC for RPG can be very important for daily start-up and stop. In particular, thermal management of the PEMFC for RPG is very important because the heat generation from electrochemical reaction is delivered to the home for hot water usages. Additionally, the thermal management is also very important for heat balance of the system and temperature control of the fuel cell. The objective of this study is to develop a dynamic system model for the study of PEMFC performance over various BOP options. Basic simulation results will be presented.

A cancelling magnetic feature (CMF) is believed to be a result of magnetic reconnection in the low atmosphere of the Sun. In this work, we investigate the physical properties of CMFs, focusing on the rates of flux cancellation in CMFs and the dynamics of chromospheric phenomena coupled with CMFs. First, we have determined the specific rates of flux cancellation using the magnetograms taken by the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) aboard the Hinode satellite. The specific rates determined with the SOT turned out to be systematically higher than those based on the data taken by the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) aborad the SOHO. Second, we analyzed transient Ca II brightenings associated with small-scale CMFs using the SOT/Hinode. We found that in most Ca II brightenings related to CMFs, and the Ca II intensity peaks after magnetic flux cancellation proceeds. Moreover, brightenings tend to appear as pairs of bright points of similar size and similar brightness overlying magnetic bipoles. To further study the brightening and dynamics of chromospherie features associated with CMFs, we have analyzed Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph (FISS) data. From this data the Doppler motion of chromospheric features above a CMF changed from redshift to blueshift. The duration of such dynamics is very short being less than 2 minutes. These results are unexpected one and can not be explained by any pre-existing pictures of CMFs.
