This paper deals with the numerical determination of the stress intensity factors of cracked aluminum plates under the mixed mode of $K_I$ and $K_{II}$ in glass-epoxy fiber reinforced composites. For the stress intensity factors, two different models are reviewed such as VCCT and two-step extension method. The p-convergent partial layerwise model is adopted to determine the fracture parameters in terms of energy release rates and stress intensity factors. The p-convergent approach is based on the concept of subparametric element. In assumed displacement field, strain-displacement relations and 3-D constitutive equations of a layer are obtained by combination of 2-D and 1-D higher-order shape functions. In the elements, Lobatto shape functions and Gauss-Lobatto technique are employed to interpolate displacement fields and to implement numerical quadrature. Using the models and techniques considered, effects of composite laminate configuration according to inclined angles and adhesive properties on the performance of bonded composite patch are investigated. In addition to these, the out-of-plane bending effect has been investigated across the thickness of patch repaired laminate plates due to the change of neutral axis. The present model provides accuracy and simplicity in terms of stress intensity factors, stress distribution, number of degrees of freedom, and energy release rates as compared with previous works in literatures.

Most civil engineering structures such as bridges, power plants, and offshore platforms are apt to suffer structural damages over their service lives caused by adverse loadings, such as earthquakes, wind and wave forces. Accumulation of structural damages over a long period of time might cause catastrophic structural failure. Therefore, a methodology for monitoring the structural integrity is essential for assuring the safety of the existing structures. A method for the damage assessment of structures by the second order inverse modal perturbation technique is presented in this paper. Perturbation equation consists of a matrix equation involving matrices of structural changes(stiffness and mass matrix changes) and matrices of modal property changes(natural frequency and mode shape changes). The damages of a structure are represented as changes in the stiffness matrix. In this study, a second order perturbation equation is formulated for the damage assessment of structures, and solved by an iterative procedure. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been investigated through a series of example analysis. The estimated results for the structural damage indicated that the present method yields resonable estimates for the structural changes.

In high speed optical disc devices, the vibration caused by unbalanced displacement leads the focus and tracking servo systems to be unstable, and increases the data search time. In this paper, we propose a new scheme to solve the unbalanced displacement problem. The proposed method detects the unbalanced rate by differential amplifying optical power received at photo diode and converts it into an electrical signal. controlling the speed of spindle motor, according to the detected unbalanced rate, makes it possible to improve the performance of tracking and data searching tasks. Also, we analyze the dynamic characteristics of focus and tracking servo systems in high speed mode and provide the firmware and hardware architecture that the proposed method can be installed as an add-on- module in the existing system.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the characteristics of the vortex- induced vibration of an elastically supported circular cylinder in the cross air flow. For a range of velocities, power spectral densities of the signals from a hot-wire anemometer placed in the wake of an oscillating circular cylinder and gap sensors placed in the both ends of a circular cylinder were obtained to determine vortex-shedding frequencies, natural frequencies and vibrating frequencies of a cylinder. The effects of slots in the test section on vortex shedding and cylinder oscillation were investigated. The present study covered the reduced velocity range 1.0 .leg. Ur .leg. 64.6. The response characteristics of the cylinder has been shown to vary extensively, depending on the slots in the test section as well as on the reduced velocity. For an elastically supported cylinder, a purely translation mode oscillation was observed at a low velocity, however a rotation mode oscillation was often superposed for higher velocities. These two oscillating frequencies were equal to their natural frequencies irrespective of the changes of free stream velocities.

Beating phenomenon which is generated by two closely located natural frequencies is one of research tenet for King Song-Dok bell. In this paper, we investigate the vibration shape of these natural frequencies using very extensive experimental data. Vibration signals are sampled at 108 points around the bell using accelerometers. Measured signals are anlayzed in time and frequency domain. Twelve natural shapes under 800Hz are plotted.

전자레인지는 전자파를 발생시키는 마그네트론과 도파관 캐비티로 이루어진다. 캐비티는 전자파의 측면으로 볼 때 일종의 공진기로 작용한다. 그러므로 전자파가 강한 곳과 약한곳이 나타나게 된다. 이런 배경에서 전자레인지의 주요 설계 기술 중의 하나는 캐비티내와 전자파의 분포를 균일하게 만드는 기술이다. 그러나 전자레인지는 제품의 특성상 여러 가지 다양한 부하가 캐비티의 내부에 분포하게 되기 때문에 부하에 따른 캐비티 내부의 전자파 분포를 균일하게 하는 것은 매우 중요한 기술로 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 여러 가지 조건에서 캐비티내의 전자파의 분포를 분석 할 수 있는 측정 방법과 설계 인자를 추출할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 전자파의 분포를 측정한 결과의 정확성을 고찰하기 위하여 캐비티내의 mode 해석을 이용한 modeling을 제안하였으며 측정과 비교 검토를 수행하였다. 그 결과 캐비티내의 전자파의 분포를 전송선 이론을 이용한 분석에 의해 설계 가능하고 또한 보정 가능함을 보였다.

Validity and limitation of conventional methods for analyzing the characteristics of nonuniform transmission lines are discussed here. It is found that uniqueness of cal- culated input impedance of an exponential transmission line by employing conventional methods is not assured in general but only under secific conditions. And the calculated input impedance of an angled two-plane transmission line based on the conventional planar TEM mode devices from its rigorous solution.

Displacement response is one of the important parameter to determine vibration characteristics of bridge structure. Reliable estimate of displacement response is obtained economically from integration of measured acceleration data in frequency domain. Proper sampling rate of frequency in discretization process of measured acceleration is proposed. Comparison of integrated and directly measured displacement response from laboratory experiment for a cantilever beam shows good agreement each other. Mode shape obtained from estimated displacement response also closely match with analytical result, thus the developed method is proved to be effective in practical use.

The suggested coupled system was analyzed using FRF and mode analysis. The eigen-mode of FRF analysis is consistent with that of conventional FFT in spectrum. Also, three numerical responses of second order system, which are coupled, was obtained using the Runge-Kutta Gill method. The displacement, velocity and acceleration response were calculated for the numerical analysis of coupled system and the displacement response was used for the calculation of FRF of this system. Using the mixed response of 1st and 2nd mode in example, the FRF was analysed for the analysis of mixed mode coupled system. Also, its mode shape was acquired by solving the eigen problem of coupled system.
