This paper was described on investigation to prevent porosity in high speed MIG Welding of Al 6082-T6. Porosity measurement was carried out by using image analysis of micrographs with the help of an analysis software. The main parameter was arc length and torch progressive angle. The porosity ratio was increased as arc length was increased. The arc length was increased depending upon the output voltage. By proper selection of pulse waveform parameter, the stable arc of one pulse one drop was generated. The porosity ratio of optimum condition in one pulse one drop was lower than high voltage condition. When torch progressive angle was an angle of advance $10^{\circ}$, porosity ratio was minium.

This paper presents a design parameter calculation methodology and its realization to construction for the damped oscillatory impulse current generator(ICG) modelled as damping factor $\alpha$. Matlab internal functions, "fzero" and "polyfit" are applied to find a which are solutions of second order nonlinear equation related with three wave parameters $T_{1},T_{2}$ and $I_{os}$. The calculation results for standard impulse current waveforms such as 4/10${\mu}s$, 8/20${\mu}s$ and 30/80${\mu}s$ show very good accuracy and this results make it possible to extend to generalization in the design of damped oscillatory lCG with any capacitor. 8/20${\mu}s$ ICG based on the calculated design circuit parameters is fabricated in consideration of the nonlinear load(MOV) variation. Comparisons of the tested waveforms with the designed estimation show error within 10% for the waveform tolerance recommended in IEC 60060-1 and IEEE std. C62.45.

This paper deals with the on off arc characteristics of electromagnetic relay contacts contaminated by NaCl and $H_2SO_4$. In this paper, I have studied the characteristics of on-off voltage waveform. the contact errosion, contact surface analysis by SEM and EDAX under changed R-L parameter of testing circuit. After considers these result, I have tried to promote the diagnosis method and developed the contacts. As a results, (1) The arc duration and the numbers of arc occurrence characteristics are depended on contamination degree. The contamination degree is high when the arc characteristics is high. (2) Under clean condition, arc occurrence voltage, surge peak voltage, arc duration and the rate of contact errosion is lower than wet condition. (3) Surge peak voltage and arc duration is depended on L parameter. When L is High, the arc characteristics is high.

The influence of pre-strain in low-cycle fatigue behavior of Fe-18Mn-0.05Al-0.6C TWIP steel was studied by conducting axial strain-controlled tests. As-received plates were deformed by rolling with reduction ratios of 10 and 30%, respectively. A triangular waveform with a constant frequency of 1 Hz was employed for low cycle fatigue test at the strain amplitudes in the range of ${\pm}0.4{\sim}{\pm}0.6$ pct. The results showed that low-cycle fatigue life was strongly dependent on the amount of pre-strain as well as the strain amplitude. Increasing the amount of prestrain, the number of reversals to failure was significantly decreased at high strain amplitudes, but the effect was negilgible at low strain amplitudes. A new model for predicting fatigue life of pre-strained body has been devised adding a correction term of ${\Delta}E_{pre-strain}$ to the energy-based fatigue damage parameter.

A control scheme for stand-alone inverters that utilizes an inductor current observer (ICO) is proposed. The proposed method measures disturbance load currents using a current sensor and it estimates the inductor current using the ICO. The filter parameter mismatch effect is analyzed to confirm the ICO's controllability. The ICO and controllers are designed in a continuous-time domain and transferred to a discrete-time domain with a digital delay. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the ICO using a 5-kVA single-phase stand-alone inverter prototype. The experimental results demonstrate that the observed current matches the actual current and that the proposed method can archive a less than 2.4% total harmonic distortion (THD) sinusoidal output waveform under nonlinear load conditions.

Electrolytic capacitors have been widely used in power electronics system because of the features of large capacitance, small size, high-voltage, and low-cost. Electrolytic capacitors, which is most of the time affected by aging effect, plays a very important role for the power electronics system quality and reliability. Therefore it is important to estimate the parameter of an electrolytic capacitor to predict the failure. This paper proposed a novel fault diagnosis method of an electrolytic capacitor used for voltage smoothing in boost DC converter. The equivalent series resistance(ESR) of electrolytic capacitor estimated from FFT result of filtered waveform of capacitor voltage/current. Main advantage of the proposed method include circuit simplicity and easy implementation. Simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the performance of the proposed method.

A time series simulation is presented by a ray approach for the simulating the received waveform of a broadband acoustical signals interacting with the ocean boundaries. The environment is assumed to be horizontally stratified, and the seafloor is described in terms of homogeneous fluid half-space. The ray approach includes the effects of reflection from the air-water, water-sediment interface and phase shifts due to boundaries interaction. To generate time series, we assume that the acoustic energy propagates from source to receiver along eigenrays and represent the action of the bottom on the incident wave by a linear filter and characterized in the frequency domain by the transfer function. As example application, the time series for an explosive source in a shallow water environment is calculated and analyzed in terms of acoustical process. good agreement with measured time series is demonstrated.

In this paper, we have performed an experiment to obtain an optimized electric stimulation condition on the tip or a ringer skin. The desired parameters for stimulation of the finger tip skin are waveforms, frequency, stimulation intensity, duty cycle. As a result, when the finger skin was stimulated with monophasic, biphasic, and differntial phasic, the most appropriate condition was 200 to 250[Hz] in frequency, 10 to 25[%] in duty cycle. Burst type pulse was more sensitive effect than that of continuous pulse methode.

In this paper, the control scheme is proposed that PI controller parameter used for TAH speed control is adapted by fuzzy logic method using only the motor current waveform. By scheduling PI parameters, minimization of the vibration and the energy consumption and overcoming AoP loads becomes possible. In in vitro tests experimental results show our approach is a good scheme that is adapted to changing afterloads well.

An effective and accurate delay time model is the key problem in the simulation and timing verification of CMOS logic circuits. We propose a semi-analytic CMOW delay time model taking into account the configuration ratio, the input waveform slope and the load capacitance. This model is based on the Schichman Hodges's DC equations and derived on the optimally weighted switching peak current. The parameters necessary for the model calculation are automatically determined from the program. The proposed model is computationally effective and the error is typically within 10% of the SPICEA results. Compared to the table RC model, the accuracy is inproved over two times in average.
