This paper presents a finite element formulation for the three-dimensional hierarchical solid element using Integrals of Legendre polynomials. The proposed hexahedral solid element is composed of four different modes including vertex, edge, face, and internal mode, respectively. The eigenvalue and patch test have been carried out to confirm the zero-energy mode and constant strain condition. In addition to these, a posteriori error estimation has been studied for the p-adaptive finite element analysis that is based on a smoothing technique to compute a post-processed solution from the finite element solution. The uniform p-refinement and non-uniform p-refinement are compared in terms of convergence rate as the number of degree of freedom is increased. The simple cantilever beam is tested to show the performance of the proposed solid element.

실험에 의한 모우드 해석 방법들은 1980년대부터 활발히 연구되어 많은 새로운 방법들이 개발되어 발표되었다. 그러나 개발된 대부분의 방법들은 측정된 데이타를 일괄처리하는 밸치(또는 off-line) 방법들이다. 최근에는 시간에 따라서 변하는 구조물의 동특성을 규명하는 분야에 모우드 해석 방법이 응용되어 사용되고 있다. 이러한 응용분야에서는 모우드 변수들의 변화되는 값을 새로운 데이타가 샘플링 될 때마다 그 값들을 수정하면서 추정할 수 있는 회귀적인(recursive 또는 on-line) 방법을 사용하여야 한다. Davies와 Hammond[1]는 회귀적 선형 자승법(Recursive Least Squares : RLS)을 이용하여 모우드 변수를 구하고 이를 벧치방법인 Instrumental Variable 방법과 Fourier 방법의 결과와 비교하였다. 그러나, 그 결과에서 보여준것처럼 RLS 방법은 잡음 대 시호비가 낮을 때에만 모우드 변수 값들을 정확하게 추정할 수 있었다. Sundararajan과 Montgomrey[2]는 회귀적 선형 최소자승 격자필터(lattice filter)를 이용하여 구조물의 차수(order)와 고유진동형, 그리고 진폭을 결정한 후 이를 토대로 회귀적 gradient형태의 방정식 오차 규명 방법(equation-error identification algorithm)에 의하여 모우드 변수들을 추정하였다. 이 방법은 2차원 격자구조물의 모우드 변수 추정에 사용되었으며, 또한 적응모우드제어에도 성공적으로 이용되었다. 그러나, 이 방법도 잡음 대 신호비가 낮은 환경에서만 사용할 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 위에서 언급한 방법들은 모두 RLS 방법을 기초로 하여 개발되었으나, RLS 방법은 전형적인 결정적(deterministic)방법으로서 잡음이 섞인 데이타를 처리하기에는 부적절한 방법임이 널리 알려진 사실이다[3]. 최근에 Ben Mrad와 Fassois[4]는 신호에 잡음이 존재하여도 이를 잘 처리할 수 있는 확률적(stochastic) 방법을 개발하여 기존의 결정적 방법들과 그 결과를 비교하였다. 그러나, 개발된 방법은 응답 신호에 백색잡음(white noise)이 섞이는 특수한 경우에만 사용할 수 있게 만들어져서 이 방법의 실질적인 적용에는 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 방법들의 단점을 극복할 수 있는 새로운 회귀적 모우드 변수 규명 방법을 개발하였다. 이는 Fassois와 Lee가 ARMAX모델의 계수를 효율적으로 추정하기 위하여 개발한 뱉치방법인 Suboptimum Maximum Likelihood 방법[5]를 기초로 하여 개발하였다. 개발된 방법의 장점은 응답 신호에 유색잡음이 존재하여도 모우드 변수들을 항상 정확하게 구할 수 있으며, 또한 알고리즘의 안정성이 보장된 것이다.

Mixed mode interlaminar fracture behaviors of carbon fabric/epoxy composites were investigated through MMF (Mixed Mode Flexural) test by varying mixed mode ratio ranging from 20% to 90%. Mixed mode interlaminar fracture criteria based on NL point and 5% offset point were also suggested in order to predict mixed mode interlaminar fracture behaviors. Fracture surfaces and crack propagating behaviors were examined through a travelling scope and a scanning electron microscope. According to the results, mixed mode interlaminar fracture behaviors can be predicted by mixed mode interlaminar fracture criterion with m=1.5 and n=0.5 on the basis of NL point or mixed mode interlaminar fracture criterion with m=2 and n=3 on the basis of 5% offset point. Fracture surfaces and crack propagating behaviors are sensitive to mixed mode ratios. MMF test can be successfully applicable in evaluating mixed mode interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon fabric/epoxy composites.

An analysis has been made about the performance of the switching-mode amplifier which can improve its efficiency higher than class C in audio amplification, and the improvement of characteristics and constitution in using it for modulator circuits was considered. As a result, the linearity of modulation up to 97% and the frequency response keeping flat up to 7, 200Hz have been observed.

The interlaminar problems near the free edge of composite laminates are analyzed in this paper. CFRP specimen (［+40/-40］s) and interleaved specimen (［+40//-40］s) with non-woven carbon tissue (NWCT) are discussed under tensile loading condition. The symbol “//”means that the NWCT is located between the CFRP interfaces. The NWCT has carbon short fibers which are discretely distributed with the in-plane random orientation. It was reported/sup 3)/ that the Mode Ⅱ interlaminar fracture toughness of CFRP laminates with NWCT is increased largely and the Mode I interlaminar fracture toughness is not changed significantly. Mode Ⅲ interlaminar fracture toughness is also an important factor in composite structures. But it is not easy to experimentally investigate the Mode Ⅲ interlaminar fracture toughness. The objective of this work is to study the effect of the NWCT and to fundamentally understand the Mode Ⅲ interlaminar shear characteristics of laminated composites with NWCT in the vicinity of a free edge by using finite element method analysis.

This study is concerned with dynamic characteristics of a circular ring with a concentrated mass attached. The equations of motion are set up and are solved by using Laplace transformation. The ratio of a concentrated mass to the mass of circular ring is used as a parameter. Experiment was performed by employing impulse test and the results show good agreement with those of analysis. The results of this study can be utilized in vibrational analysis of axisymmetric shells with slight asymmetries.

We demonstrate a novel mode locked fiber laser gyroscope that utilizes a rare-earth doped fiber. The output of the gyroscope is a series of short optical pulses. Without rotation, the optical pulses are equally spaced in the time domain. With rotation, the intervals of the optical pulses changes. By measuring the separation of the optical pulses in time domain, the rotation rate could be obtained. We also discuss the polarization effect that can cause signal errors.errors.

A comprehensive understanding is given for the hot-firing test results, which were obtained throughout the verification program of mono-propellant hydrazine rocket engines (thrusters) producing 0.95 lbf (4.2 N) of nominal steady-state thrust at an inlet pressure of 350 psia (2.41 Mpa). A scrutiny for the engine performance is made in terms of thrust and temperature behavior of steady state firing mode at the given propellant injection pressures: Pinj = 400, 250, 100, and 50 psi. The thrust and specific impulse are compared with a reference performance of 1-lbf standard rocket engines and their normalization procedure is introduced. A practical engineering approach to the data measurement and reduction is addressed, too.

The objective of this study is to identify the quantitative relationships among the important physical factors associated with failure of steel members under strong seismic excitations through very low-cycle fatigue tests. Very low-cycle fatigue is meant to be structural fatigue causing cracks and rupture in about 5~30 cycle ranges. The angle specimen was subjected to repeated axial Ioad after undergoing inelastic buckling. The test results reveal that the energy absorption capacities vary heavily with the history of loading and the failure mode. The maximum values of residual local strain at the initiation of a visible crack due to the very low-cycle fatigue were of the order of 25~40%, regardless of loading patterns, deflection modes, and width-to-thickness ratios.

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.
