Fine pitch microprobe arrays are microneedle-like probes for inspecting the pixel of LCD panel. They are usually made of multilayers of metallic, nonmetallic, or combination of the two. In this study, the microprobe arrays were fabricated using the process applied for MEMS fabrication technology and they consist of BeCu, BeNi, or Si. Their contacting probing force and deflection were measured using the laser equipment. The design requirement are 5gf of a minimum contact force and $150{\mu}m$ of a maximum deflection. A lot of microprobe shape are possible satisfying the requirement. A double cantilever-type microprobe having needles on both ends were applied for this study. Several candidate were chosen using the topology and shape optimization technique subjected to the design requirements. Finite element results and experimental results were compared and both gave good correlation.

This paper deals with numerical analyses in the context of estimations of hydrodynamic motions and dynamic loads for a floating type offshore platform using some exclusive simulation code such as code for the simulation of a floating type of offshore crane based on multi-body dynamics, along with the commercial code AQWA. Verifications of numerical models are carried out by comparing the RAO results from the simulation code. In the verification analyses, hydrodynamic motions are examined in the frequency domain for the floating type offshore platform according to the mooring lines. Both the hydrodynamic motions and dynamic loads are estimated for floating type offshore platforms equipped with the catenary type and taut mooring lines. A review and comparison are carried out for the numerically estimated results. The structural safety of the connection parts in an offshore structure such as a floating type offshore platform is one of the most important design criteria in view of fatigue life. The dynamic loads in the connecting area between a floating type offshore platform and its mooring lines are estimated in detail according to variations in the mechanical properties of the mooring lines. The dynamic tension load on the mooring lines is also estimated.

A finite element model RIV-FEM2 for the hydrodynamic study in a river is developed based on two-dimensional shallow water wave equation and dissipative Galerkin's method. RIV-FEM2 consists of pre-processing, analysis processing and post-processing. Pre- and analysis processing is programmed with Fortran-77 and post-processing with turbo-Pascal respectively. The model is tested with two dimensional problems, including flow through bends, bridges, and symmetric contraction. The two dimensional tests shows stable and efficient results for various situations. Applicability of the model is verified by applying to natural river. The model will provide a basic contribution to the hydrodynamic analysis in a river.

In this study, a numerical analysis for the piston secondary dynamics of small refrigeration reciprocating compressors is performed. In general, the length of cylinder in this class of compressors is shortened to diminish the frictional losses of the piston-cylinder system. So, the contacting length between piston and cylinder wall is in variable with the rotating crank angle around the BDC of the reciprocating piston. In the problem formulation of the piston dynamics, the change in bearing length of the piston and all corresponding forces and moments are considered in order to determine the piston trajectory, velocity and acceleration at each step. A Newton-Raphson procedure was employed in solving the secondary dynamic equations of the piston. The developed computer program can be used to calculate the entire piston trajectory and the hydrodynamic force and moment as functions of crank angle under compressor running conditions. The results explored the effects of the radial clearance, lubricant viscosity, length of the cylinder wall, and pin location on the stability of the piston.

토목 구조물에서 수문 (Gate)은 다양한 시설에서 설계되어 적용되고 있다. 이런 수문은 용도나규모, 사용재료, 구동방식에 의해 다양하게 분류되는데, 본 글에서 다룰 Girder 타입의 Sluice Gate 는 가장 많은 분야에서 포괄적으로 적용되는 수문 형식중 하나이다. 일반적으로 2m×2m 미만의 소규모 수문에서는 수문설계에 수리계산이나 응력검토를 요하지 않으나, 높이 5m 가 넘는 대형 수문의 경우 비체의 무게가 수십톤에 달하기 때문에 정수역학이나 동수역학과 같은 수리학적 설계가 반드시 필요하다. 수문설계는 크게 세 가지 해석을 다루는데, 첫 번째는 정수역학 또는 동수역학적 거동에 대한 수문 비체의 구조해석이고 두 번째는 수문의 상승 및 하강을 위한 권양장치 및 수문비체, 구동장치 등의 계산이며 마지막으로는 수문의 형상과 수류형상에 따른 수문의 진동해석 이다. 본 글에서는 두 번째에 해당하는 수문의 상승 및 하강에 영향을 미치는 수리학적 요소들을 통해 가장 합리적인 수문형상설계에 대해 논하고자 한다. 특히 국내에서는 Girder 타입의 수문설계에서 수문하단부 sill 부근의 형상을 쐐기 형태로 일률적으로 적용하고 있는데, 이를 개선하여 유체역학적으로나 경제적으로 보다 유리한 설계안을 본 글을 통해 제안하고자 한다.

A feasibility study for nondestructively estimating prestress force of a grouted tendon using axial vibrations has been investigated. Total eight prestressed concrete beams with different stress levels have been specially designed and constructed for this investigation. The various axial vibration tests have been conducted in order to extract the dynamic characteristics of the prestressed concrete beams. It turns out that the axial frequency, elastic wave velocity and elastic modulus are nonlinearly increased as the prestress force level increases. It seems that the axial vibration characteristics of the existing grouted tendons are a feasible indicator for the identification of their tensile force.

This paper presents a prestress-loss monitoring technique for prestressed concrete (PSC) girder structures that uses a vibration-based system identification method. First, the theoretical backgrounds of the prestress-loss monitoring technique and the system identification technique are presented. Second, vibration tests are performed on a lab-scaled PSC girder for which the modal parameter was measured for several prestress-force cases. A numerical modal analysis is performed by using an initial finite element (FE) model from the geometric, material, and boundary conditions of the lab-scaled PSC girder. Third, a vibration-based system identification is performed to update the FE model by identifying structural parameters since the natural frequency of the FE model became identical to the experimental results. Finally, the feasibility of the prestress-loss monitoring technique is evaluated for the PSC girder model by using the experimentally measured natural frequency and numerically identified natural frequency for several prestress-force cases.

Transversal SAW(Surface Acoustic Wave) filters of 340MHz were fabricated on piezoelectric substrates of the LN $128^{\circ}$ Y-X wafers. Both of spacing and width of IDT were $1.435{\mu}m$. For improving the power durability characteristics, titanium layer was inserted between aluminum electrode and piezoelectric substrate since it has high density, low thermal expansion coefficient, and good adhesive properties. Power durability was evaluated with respect to the thickness of inserted titanium layer and the temperature of heat treatment. Power durability is improved with increasing the thickness of the inserted titanium layer. Moreover, it is remarkably improved by heat treatment at the temperature of $300^{\circ}C$.

In recent manufacturing process, the increase of productivity has been attempted by reducing machining time with the increase of cutting force. However, the excessive increase of cutting force can cause tool breakage and have a bad effect on both manufacturing machine and workpiece. Thus, it is necessary to estimate and control the cutting force in real time during the process. In this study, use of disturbance observer is proposed for the indirect cutting force estimation. The estimated cutting force is used for the real-time control of feedrate, making the actual cutting force follow the reference force command. Since the suggested method does not need an expensive sensor like a dynamometer, the method is expected to be used practically. Since the actual cutting force follow the reference force, resulting the reducing of the machining time the increase of productivity are also expected, and the quality of cutting surface has been improved due to the adjusted feedrate. Besides, an actual constant cutting force guarantees the prevention of tool breakage. To show the effectiveness of the suggested cutting force control method, an experimental setup has been made without sensor and applied to several workpieces. Experiments show that the suggested method is effective to cutting force control of a CNC machining center.

In this study, a technique that uses wireless impedance sensor nodes is proposed to monitor tensile force of structural cable. To achieve this goal, the following approaches were implemented. First, a wireless impedance sensor node was designed for automated and cost-efficient prestress-loss monitoring. Second, an impedance-based algorithm was embedded in the wireless impedance sensor node for autonomous structural health monitoring of structural cables. Third, a tensile force monitoring technique that uses an interface plate for structural cables was proposed to overcome the limitations of the wireless impedance sensor node such as its narrow-band measurable frequency ranges. Finally, the applicability of the wireless impedance sensor node and the technique that uses the interface washer were evaluated in a lab-scaled prestressed concrete (PSC) girder model with internal and external tendons for which several prestress-loss scenarios were experimentally monitored with the wireless impedance sensor nodes.
