This paper demonstrates the development of optical temperature sensor based on the etched planar waveguide Bragg grating. Topics include design and fabrication of the etched planar waveguide Bragg grating, investigation of the grating reflection characteristics, and temperature measurement capabilities. The typical bandwidth and reflectivity of the surface etched grating has been ~0.2nm and ~7%, respectively, at a wavelength of ～1552nm. The temperature-induced wavelength change of the optical sensor is found to be slightly non-linear over ～20$0^{\circ}C$ temperature range. Theoretical models for the grating response of the sensor based on waveguide and plate deformation theories agree with experiments to within acceptable tolerance.

The friction factor in a rod bundle and the loss coefficient at a spacer grid were examined. As a test section, 25 smooth rods, 9.5 mm in diameter and 2000 mm in length, were prepared and installed in a $5{\times}5$ square array in a square channel. In this case, the P/D (Pitch-to-Diameter ratio) was 1.35. In this work, plain (i.e., no mixing vanes), split-vane, and hybrid-vane spacer grids were tested. In a bare rod bundle (i.e., no spacer grid), the measured friction factors were in good agreement with the previous correlations. Among the spacer grids tested, the hybrid-vane spacer grid presented the largest friction factor in the rod bundle and loss coefficient. This may be because of the flow pattern change induced by large relative plugging of the flow cross section and mixing vane geometry. At Re=$5{\times}10^5$, the predicted loss coefficients of plain, splitvane, and hybrid-vane spacer grids were approximately 0.79, 0.80, and 0.88, respectively.

We fabricate a polarization-independent dielectric multilayer thin-film diffraction grating for a spectral-beam-combining (SBC) system with a simple grating structure and low aspect ratio. Due to the refractive index and thickness error of the manufactured thin films, the diffraction efficiency of the fabricated diffraction grating was lower than that of the design. The causes of the errors were analyzed, and it was confirmed through simulation that diffraction efficiency could be compensated through an additional coating on the manufactured diffraction grating. As a result of sputtering an additional Ta₂O₅ layer on a fabricated diffraction grating, the diffraction efficiency was corrected and a maximum 91.7% of polarization-independent diffraction efficiency was obtained.

The effects of earthquakes can be devastating especially to existing structures that are not based on earthquake resistant design. This study proposes a steel grid shear wall that can provide a sufficient lateral resistance and can be used as a seismic retrofit method. The pushover analysis was performed on RC structure with and without the proposed steel grid shear wall. Obtain the performance point that the target structure for seismic loads applied to evaluate the response and performance levels. The capacity spectrum at performance point is nearly elastic range, so satisfied the performance objectives(LS level). And response modification factor(R factor) were calculated from the pushover analysis. The R factor approach is currently implemented to reflect inelastic ductile behavior of the structures and to reduce elastic spectral demands from earthquakes to the design level. The R factor increases from 2.17 to 3.25 was higher than the design criteria. As a result, according to reinforcement by steel grid shear wall, strength, stiffness, and ductility of the low-rise RC structure has been appropriately improved.

Steel set is a structure that stabilize the NATM tunnel until the installation of shotcrete, and it is combined after the shotcrete is installed to improve stability. In this study, determination approach for the equivalent elastic modulus of shotcrete-lattice girder composite is newly suggested for tunneling simulation. Also, a method was presented to calibrate the equivalent elastic modulus through the comparison of the full 3D model and equivalent model. When the conventional equivalent elastic modulus is used for shotcrete-lattice girder composite, the flexural strength of equivalent model is 130% smaller than that of full 3D model. Equivalent elastic modulus is adjusted considering the error of flexural strength. It is found that the error of flexural strength obtained from adjusted equivalent model using adjusted equivalent elastic modulus is reduced less than 1%.

Aerodynamic shape optimization of two-dimensional airfoils in inviscid compressible flows is performed using a continuous adjoint formulation on unstructured meshes. Accurate evaluation of the gradient is achieved by using a reconstruction scheme based on the Laplacian averaging. A least-square method with extended stencil is used for flow gradient calculations. Proper convergence criterion is studied on Euler and adjoint equations for efficient design. The present method has been applied to RAE2822 and NACA0012 airfoils such that wave drag can be minimized by removing the shock wave. An inverse design is also performed to recover the shock wave on the designed RAE2822 airfoil.

The electrolyte wetting phenomena occurring in the electrode of lithium-ion battery was studied using lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). Recently, lithium-ion batteries are being mixed with small particles on the active material to increase the capacity and energy density during the electrode design stage. The change to the mixing ratio may influence the wettability of electrolyte. In this study, the changes in electrolyte distribution and saturation were investigated according to various mixing ratios of active material. We found that the variations in mixing ratio of active material affect the wetting mechanism, and result in changes to the wetting speed and wettability of electrolyte.

In this paper, the slanted metallic boundaries is analyzed for the triangular cell grid method and compared with staircase approximation. Specially, this paper is derived an error range to the angle of inclination between the metal and the dielectric from the triangular cell grid method. That result, when the angle of inclination is from 30˚ to 60˚, the triangular cell grid method improves the accuracy, the computer memory and time requirement in comparison with the staircase approximation. But, out of this range, we do not expect the accuracy because a side of cell size lengthen.

Hot wall epitaxy법에 의하여 GaAs(100)aus 위에 ZnS-ZnSe 초격자를 성장하였다. ZnS-ZnSe 초격자의 주기는 x-선 회절 패턴에 의하여 확인되었고 이것은 변형을 고려하고 계산된 이론적인 패턴과 비교되었다. 경계면에 평행한 ZnS와 ZnSe의 변형의 비는 ZnSe에 대하여 ZnS의 두께기 증가할수록 감 소되었다. ZnS-ZnSe 초격자의 photoluminescence(PL)는 고에너지 영역의 예리한 스펙트럼과 저에너지 영역의 폭이 넓은 스펙트럼으로 구성되어있다. PL의 광자에너지는 Kronig-Penney 모델을 사용하여 계 산된 이론적인 에너지 값과 비교한 결과 type I의 초격자임을 알았다.

재구성이 가능한 광 크로스-커넥트(optical cross connect)는 전광 네트워크를 구성하기 위한 핵심소자 중의 하나이다. 일반적인 구조의 파장분배기는 공간분할 스위치(space division switch)를 두 쌍의 파장 다중화기(multiplexer)와 역다중화기(demultiplexer)의 가운데에 삽입하여 구현된다$^{(1)}$ . 최근에, 광섬유 브래그 격자와 광스위치 쌍을 직렬 연결하여 재구성이 가능한 광 크로스-커넥트가 제안되었다$^{(2)}$ . 그러나, 이 구조는 광신호에 따라 광섬유 브래그 격자에 반사되면서 겪는 광스위치에 의한 삽입손실이 다르다는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 한 쌍의 파장 다중화기/역다중화기와 파장가변 광섬유 브래그 격자를 이용한 새로운 구조의 광 크로스-커넥트를 제안하고자 한다. 또한, 제안된 구조는 일반적인 구조의 파장분배기에 비해 파장 다중화기/역다중화기의 개수를 반으로 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다.
