Crane operation for transporting heavy loads inherently causes swinging motion at the loads due to crane's acceleration or deceleration. This motion not only lowers the handling safety but also slows down the handling process. To complement such a problem, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute(KAERI) has designed several anti-swing controllers using open loop and closed loop approaches. They are namely a pre-programmed feedback controller and a fuzzy controller. These controllers are implemented on a 1-ton crane system at KAERI and their control performances are compared. Test operations show that the new controllers are superior to that of conventional cranes in terms of robustness to the disturbances and adaptation capability to the change of rope length.

열차 운영사의 관점에서, 열차 운행에 관한 주요 관심사는 정해진 운행시간의 준수뿐만 아니라, 그와 동시에 열차 운행을 위해 소비되는 에너지 량을 최소화하는 것이다. 일반적인 수동 운전시, 기관사는 운행 노선의 특성에 따라 미리 규정된 최대 속도 프로파일을 기준으로, 노치를 제어함에 따라 규정 속도를 넘지 않도록 열차의 가감속을 조절한다. 이때 규정 속도를 준수하면서 동시에, 전체 운행 중에 소요되는 에너지 량의 절감을 위해, 기관사가 적절한 노치를 선택할 수 있는 구간별 노치 지정 가이드가 있어야 하며, 이는 운행구간에서의 노치 단계 최적화라는 절차를 통해 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 운행 환경뿐만 아니라, 열차가 운행 중에 일시적으로 잔여구간의 트랙 정보 또는 규정속도 정보가 변경되는 이벤트 발생시에도 변화된 정보들을 기반으로 실시간으로 잔역구간의 노치 단계를 최적화 할 수 있는 유전 알고리즘을 활용한 실시간 노치 최적화 방안을 제안하였다. 또한 유전 알고리즘을 통해 얻어진 최적해를 적용할 때 에너지 절감 효과와 최적해 수렴특성에 관하여 분석하였다.

In this paper, comparative analysis of the 9.12 Gyeongju and 11.15 Pohang earthquakes was conducted in order to provide probable explanations and reasons for the damage observed in the 11.15 Pohang earthquake from both earthquake and structural engineering perspectives. The damage potentials like Arias intensity, effective peak ground acceleration, etc observed in the 11.15 Pohang earthquake were generally weaker than those of the 9.12 Gyeongju earthquake. However, in contrast to the high-frequency dominant nature of the 9.12 Gyeongju earthquake records, the spectral power of PHA2 record observed in the soft soil site was highly concentrated around 2Hz. The base shear around 2 Hz frequency was as high as 40% building weight. This frequency band is very close to the fundamental frequency of the piloti-type buildings severely damaged in the northern part of Pohang. Unfortunately, in addition to inherent vertical irregularity, most of the damaged piloti-type buildings had plan irregularity as well and were non-seismic. All these contributed to the fatal damage. Inelastic dynamic analysis indicated that PHA2 record demands system ductility capacity of 3.5 for a structure with a fundamental period of 0.5 sec and yield base shear strength of 10% building weight. The system ductility level of 3.5 seems very difficult to be achievable in non-seismic brittle piloti-type buildings. The soil profile of the PHA2 site was inversely estimated based on deconvolution technique and trial-error procedure with utilizing available records measured at several rock sites during the 11.15 Pohang earthquake. The soil profile estimated was very typical of soil class D, implying significant soil amplification in the 11.15 Pohang earthquake. The 11.15 Pohang earthquake gave us the expensive lesson that near-collapse damage to irregular and brittle buildings is highly possible when soil is soft and epicenter is close, although the earthquake magnitude is just minor to moderate (M 5+).
