Under traditional unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) control, a UPQC series converter (SC) is mainly used to handle grid-side power quality problems while its parallel converter (PC) is mainly used to handle load-side power quality problems. The SC and PC are relatively independent. The SC is usually in standby mode and it only runs when the grid voltage abruptly changes. In this paper, novel UPQC coordinated control strategies are proposed which use the SC to share the reactive power compensation function of the PC especially without grid-side power quality problems. However, in some cases, there will be a circulating current between the SC and the PC, which will probably influence the compensation fashion, the compensation capacity, or the normal work of the UPQC. Through an active power circulation analysis, strategies with and without a circulating current are presented which fuses the reactive power allocation strategy of the SC and the PC, the composite control strategy of the SC and the compensation strategy of the DC storage unit. Both of the strategies effectively solve the SC long term idle problem, limit the influence of the circulating current, optimize all of the UPQC units and reduce the production cost. An analysis, along with simulation andexperimental results, is presented to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control strategies.

One of the most important quality problems in flat plate leveled from hot rolled coils in cut-to-Iength lines is bowing and cambering when they are cut in small width parts. It is verified analytically and experimentally that residual stress remained in plate is th ε source of the problem. In order to produce low residual stress flat plate from hot rolled coils, the proper conditions of leveling are studied and two things are implemented. One is proper plastic deformation area ratio to reduce residual stress within customer requirement by applying suitable plastic deformation and maintain leveling load within structural strength limit of leveler. The other is maintaining uniform plastic deformation along the width of the plate during leveling. Customer requirement for residual stress is met by applying above 70% of plastic deformation area ratio and uniform deformation along width of coil by adjusting back up rolls according to deformation analysis of work roll and back up roll assembly and leveling tests.

Background: Cosmic ray-induced particles can lead to failure of semiconductors packaged for export during air transport. This work performed MCNP 6.2 simulations to optimize shielding against neutrons and protons induced by cosmic radiation Methods and materials: The energy spectra of protons and neutrons by incident angle at the flight altitude were determined using atmospheric cuboid model. Various candidates for the shielding materials and the geometry of the Unit Load Device Container were evaluated to determine the conditions that allow optimal shielding at all sides of the container. Results: It was found that neutrons and protons, at the flight altitude, generally travel with a downward trajectory especially for the particles with high energy. This indicated that the largest number of particles struck the top of the container. Furthermore, the simulation results showed that, among the materials tested, borated polyethylene and stainless steel were the most optimal shielding materials. The optimal shielding structure was also determined with the weight limit of the container in consideration. Conclusions: Under the determined optimal shielding conditions, a significantly reduced number of neutrons and protons reach the contents inside the container, which ultimately reduces the possibility of semiconductor failure during air transport.

Activity of lifting has been a major issue in many research area related in manual materials handling tasks. However, the opposite activity of lifting, lowering, has received much less attention. It is known that 52% of all box-handling tasks were lowering in nature. The difference in stress between lifting and lowering activity is not well understood. A simple assumption that these two activities are very similar has been established and widely used. However, this simple assumption may be questionable. The objective of this study was to compare a lifting activity and a lowering activity based on the three different ergonomic approaches; (1) biomechanical, (2) physiological, (3) psychophysical approach. It was found that the stress of lowering activity was from 65% to 93%, from 87% to 97%, and from 87% to 96% according to the biomechanical, physiological, and psychophysical point of view, respectively. It is concluded from the result of this study that the stress of lowering activity is lower than that of the lifting activity. The maximum compressive force on the lumbro-sacral joint (L5/S1) was 158% and 108% respectively, for lifting and lowering activity of which the work load is the 58% of Action Limit. It is suggested that the NIOSH AL and RWL and biomechanical criteria should be reconsidered especially for the low frequency of lifting activities.

The bedding zone which influence directly to the safety of dam is supporting the face slab under hydraulic load in concrete faced rockfill dam. In case that leakage is developed due to various ruptured joint or cracks of face slab and etc., the bedding zone should limit the leakage by low permeability and keep the internal stability. In this study for the proper coefficient of permeability various properties, such as gradation, dry density, performance of embankment work and etc. were analysed. The results from the large scale test of permeability and density are summerized as follows : 1. Coefficient of permeability is decreased clearly by increase of dry density. 2. The particles smaller than the No.4 strive( p,) greatly influences the permeability under dry density of 2.24t 1 m3. 3. In case of C.40 and p,40%, even if dry density decreased to 2.0t/m3, the permeability coefficient is assumed to u x1-scm/s and internal stability is abtained. 4. Generally in dam construction since dry density and uniformity coefficient of bedding zone were higher than 2.2t/m3 and 50 respectively p, of 30~40% is assumed to be suitable and permeability coefficient of below 1$\times$10-3cm l s is expectable.

Delayed hydride cracking (DHC) was first observed in pressure tubes in Canadian CANDU reactors. In light water reactors, DHC was not observed until the late 1990s in high-burnup boiling water reactor (BWR) fuel cladding. In recent years, the focus on DHC has resurfaced in light of the increased interest in the cladding integrity during interim conditions. In principle, all spent fuel in the wet pools has sufficient hydrogen content for DHC to operate below $300^{\circ}C$. It is therefore of importance to establish the critical parameters for DHC to operate. This work studies the threshold stress intensity factor ($K_{IH}$) to initiate DHC as a function of temperature in Zry-4 for temperatures between $227^{\circ}C$ and $315^{\circ}C$. The experimental technique used in this study was the pin-loading testing technique. To determine the $K_{IH}$, an unloading method was used where the load was successively reduced in a stepwise manner until no cracking was observed during 24 hours. The results showed that there was moderate temperature behavior at lower temperatures. Around $300^{\circ}C$, there was a sharp increase in $K_{IH}$ indicating the upper temperature limit for DHC. The value for $K_{IH}$ at $227^{\circ}C$ was determined to be $2.6{\pm}0.3MPa$ ${\surd}$m.

Common structural rules of JBP(Joint Bulker Project) and JTP(Joint Tanker Project), which will come into effect in 2006, invoke the necessity of the ultimate limit state(ULS) design for ship structures. Even though the many applications of ULS analysis have been performed for ship structures, there have few studies carried out for deck machineries and their supporting structures. Recently four major Korean shipbuilders(DSME, HHI, HHIC, SHI) jointly developed and proposed a new design standards for mooring fittings and also proposed the SWL (Safety Working Load) obtained based on the first yield criterion. In this study, various ultimate strength analyses were performed for bollards and their foundation structures whose yield strengths were quantified by the research consortium. Prior to performing the ultimate strength analyses, the numerical calculation method was substantiated with the test results provided in the joint work report. Based upon the results of this study, it can be concluded that the reinforcements to increase the yield strength are not always resulted in the enhancement of the ultimate strength. Furthermore, the additional production costs for the reinforcements can not be rewarded by the ultimate strength. Therefore, another alternative arrangements should be developed in the view point of ultimate strength.

트래픽 부하 측정은 네트웍 트래픽 엔지니어링의 기반이 된다. 그러나 고속 링크에서 트래픽 부하 정보를 얻기 위해 모든 패킷을 측정하는 것은, 라우터의 패킷 포워딩 성능을 저해시키므로 확장성이 결여된다. 이에 따라 샘플링 기법이 트래픽 측정의 대안으로 제시되었다. 샘플링은 라우터의 성능 저해를 최소화시킬 수 있으나 샘플링으로 예측되는 트래픽 부하는 실제 트래픽 부하와 차이를 보이게 되며, 이와 같은 오류가 제한되지 못한다면 측정값을 기반으로 하는 응용들에 부영향을 미치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 샘플링 오류를 오류 허용범위 내로 제한시킬 수 있는 적응성 있는 패킷 샘플링 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 수학적 분석을 통해 얻어진 부하 예측 오류에 영향을 미치는 주요 트래픽 파라메터를 각 블록의 시작마다 예측하여 샘플링 확률을 동적으로 적응시킨다. 본 논문에서는 또한 실제 측정된 인터넷 트래픽을 이용하여 제안 기법의 확장성과 성능을 검증하였다

본 연구는 예압 가새로써 내진 보강된 RC 골조의 보강 효과를 3차원적으로 조사함이 그 목적이다. 이를 위해, 먼저 4층 규모의 RC 골조에 극한 하중을 가한 후 예압 가새를 이용하여 보강하되 보강 위치에 따라 3경우로 나누어 해석을 수행해보았다. 해석 방법으로써, 본 연구자가 앞서 행한 연구 결과에 의해 정적 붕괴 해석법이 비선형 동적 시간 이력 해석법의 대안책으로 훌륭히 쓰일 수 있음을 밝힌바 있기 때문에 정적 붕괴 해석만 적용하여 보강 전의 해석 및 보강 후의 영향에 대해서 평가하였다. 그 결과, 외주부에 설치한 가새가 커다란 비틀림 저항을 발휘했으며 예압 가새로 인해 골조에 균등한 강성 변화가 유도되어 급격한 파괴가 발생하지 않는 효과를 보였다.
