Effective thermal conductivity of three-phase composites, consisting of matrix and two kinds of spherical inclusions, has been derived as an explicit form by extending modified Eshelby model (MEM) for two-phase composites. The present results are compared with those by differential effective medium model (DEMM), which are also compared with the experimental results of two- and three-phase composites in the literatures to be validated. For two-phase composites, the results by MEM are better than those by DEMM for the inclusion volume fraction smaller than 0.5. Comparisons between the results by two models and experimental results have been made for three-phase composite, resulting in that MEM predicts better than DEMM for smaller volume fraction of the inclusion having larger inclusion-to-matrix thermal conductivity ratio, but DEMM predicts better as its volume fraction increases. It has been observed through parametric study that its volume fraction is the critical factor affecting the deviation of predictions by the two models. The results by them show a good agreement with the three-phase composite proposed by Molina et al..

This paper describes an improved beam analysis for compound rotorcraft fuselage design. The present beam approach is capable of analyzing fuselage composed of stiffeners using equivalent layer methodology. Thickness of the skin and laminated layer approach are suggested based on the unified beam formulation. The analysis which considers an equivalent stiffener layer is performed for a fuselage with stiffeners and preliminary study about the specification of stiffeners is conducted and compared by the results using the existing software.

The electrical characterstic of earth is the most dominant factor for grounding design and an earth is typically represented by a uniform medium with the specific earth resistivity, which is unique for a specific site. For a hand-working grounding design using a specific earth resistivity requires a process converting a real earth of complex medium into a simple uniform medium In this paper, we suggest a procedure to convert a multi-layered earth s into a simpler uniform earth for grounding design of Myanmar 500[kV] transmission towers.

In CDMA system, the call admission control method using the variable effective bandwidth concept is employed in this paper. The bandwidth for a new call and a handoff call is allocated by considering the number of mobile station being served and dynamically assigned by taking account of the blocking rate of new calls and the dropping rate of handoff calls. There is reserved resource for handoff call. In the case radio resource is insufficient, a new call and a handoff call stand by in buffer for constant time. When radio resource come about, the waiting call is allocated the resource. I analyze the performance of system according to existence and nonexistence of buffer by a simulation study.

Optical module plays an important role in the construction of high speed communication network. Laser diode is a component of optical module, and its characteristics are dependent of temperature, so many researches are reported. In this paper, we proposed the electrical equivalent circuit of PBH-LD based on the rate equations. And, the two leakage paths exit outside the active region. One path is converted pn-diode and the other path is converted two transistors using npn-Tr and pnp-Tr. In order to reduce the leakage currents, we observed the dependence of carrier concentrations of current blocking layers using PSPICE simulator.

Numerical eigen analysis of beam-like structure can be easily and effectively done by various conventional beam theory-based methods. However, in case of the structures composed of composite-sectioned beams, the application of conventional numerical methods requires one to derive both equivalent material and geometry properties. In the present paper, these equivalent properties are derived by the transformed section method and the test FEM program is coded. The numerical accuracy of the proposed method is verified through the comparison with the ANSYS 3-D model.

This paper presents the design of a dual band branch line hybrid coupler(BLHC) with different power division ratios at two bands. In the proposed design, transmission lines of the BLHC are transformed to $\pi$-type equivalent circuits which represent different impedances and $\lambda/4$ electrical length at two frequency bands. In order to verify the proposed method, a dual band coupler with different power division ratios is designed for 0.9 GHz and 2 GHz applications. The desired power division ratios are 1:1 and 1:3 at the two operating frequency bands. The measured results show excellent performance with an insertion loss of less than 0.33 dB, a return loss of less than -18.07 dB, and good isolation characteristics.

In this paper, we define two input-output gains of linear periodic time-varying systems. One is the ratio of output with worst-case l2-norm over all inputs with unit 12-norm. It denotes G($\iota_2,\iota_2$.The other is the ratio of output with worst-case RMS value over all inputs with unit RMS value. It denotes G(RMS, RMS) .It is fact that these two gains are equivalent for linear time-invariant system. In this paper, we prove these two gains are also equivalent for linear periodic time-varying system. In addition, the relationship between two method of obtaining the generalized frequency responses for linear periodic time-varying system is derived. Finally, we apply the defined input-output gains to M-channel filter-bank which is multi-rate signal Processing system, used to speech coding. In the filter-bank, generally, aliasing distortion, magnitude distortion, and phase distortion are present. It is shown that these are kept small if the filter-bank is designed by a method that optimizes the gain G($\iota_2,\iota_2$ of an error system.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze affecting ratios of strength safety in carbon fiber layer thickness of a composite fuel tank for FEV vehicles. To investigate affecting ratios by FEM modeling, the equivalent von Mises stress has been computed on the aluminum liner and carbon fiber layers of composite fuel tanks in hoop and helical directions respectively. According to the FEM results, the affecting ratios of an aluminum liner on the equivalent stress are 77.5% in hoop direction, 18.11% in $70^{\circ}C$ winded helical direction and 4.39% in $12^{\circ}C$ winded helical direction. These trends on the strength safety of carbon fiber layers have been shown as those of an aluminum liner even though the layer thickness ratio of $12^{\circ}C$ inclined carbon fiber is very high of 42% compared with that of hoop layer thickness. Thus, the computed results show that the strength safety of a carbon fiber fuel tank is more influenced by the winding angle rather than the fiber thickness of carbon fiber layers.

Dose limits are not applied to medical radiation exposure therefore justification and optimization should be essential for protecting radiation. This study explores methods to reduce exposure dose undergoing general radiation exam by bolus(tissue equivalent material) with keeping image quality. Hand PA projection with 50 kVp, 5 mAs, SID 100 cm, and 8×10 inch is referred by covered bolus of thickness 0, 3, 5, 8, and 10 mm for evaluation entrance dose and SNR. The entrance dose (μGy) to the hand by bolus thickness was 125.41±0.288, 106.85±0.255, 104.97±0.221, 91.68±0.299, and 90.94±0.106 showing a significant reduction in radiation exposure depending on if the bolus was used and bolus thickness. The SNR of the image was 13.997, 13.906, 12.240, 12.538, and 12.548 at each bolus thickness, showing no significant difference. It was confirmed that if appropriate thickness and size of bolus is used depending on the type of radiological imaging exam and the body site, a significant radiation dose reduction effect can be achieved without deteriorating image quality.
