In the present paper, a new version of DYMORE, which is an analysis to solve a nonlinear multi-body dynamics problem, is used to simulate an Individual Blade Control (IBC) algorithm in order to reduce vibration in helicopter rotors. The Active Twist Rotor (ATR), in which Active Fiber Composites (AFC) are embedded, is utilized for IBC. The main purpose of the present investigation is to compare the analytical results with experiments and previous version of DYMORE. The experiments are performed at NASA Langley Transonic Dynamics Tunnel. According to the present result, it is observed that the correlation regarding the vibratory loads is improved.

In this paper, we present design and test results of a Ka-band dual-band ortho-mode transducer (OMT) for use in a feed assembly for the very small aperture terminals (VSATs). The designed ortho-mode transducer have wideband characteristics to separate the signals that have two orthogonal linear polarizations operating at 20GHz of receive frequency band and at 30GHz of transmit frequency band. In addition, in order to reduce the volume of the feed assebly, a Boifot based ortho-mode transducer has been designed with a dual-band. Experimental results for the design verification, the return loss in the receive band and in the transmit band for the horizontal polarization showed over 20dB and 21dB, respectively, and for the vertical polarization showed over 20dB and 24dB, respectively. The port isolation for the horizontal polarization and the vertical polarization showed over 43dB and 52dB, respectively, in the receive band and in the vertical band.

This study examined the structural behaviors of foam insulated concrete sandwich panels subjected to uniform pressure. Finite element models were used to simulate the detailed shear resistance of connectors and the nonlinear behaviors of concrete, foam and rebar components. The models were then validated using data from static tests performed at the University of Missouri. Both composite and non-composite action had a significant effect on the response of the foam insulated concrete sandwich panels, indicating that the simulated shear tie resistance should indeed be incorporated in numerical analyses. The modeling approach used here conveniently simulated the structural behaviors during all loading stages (elastic, yielding, ultimate and post-failure) and was compatible with the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Code and existing design practices. The results of this study will therefore provide useful guidelines for the analysis and design of foam insulated sandwich panels under both static and dynamic loadings.

Electrical properties of the Thin Film Transistor(TFT) electrode metal films were investigated through the Test Elements Group(TEG) experiment. The main purpose of this investigation was to characterize the electrical resistance properties of patterned metal films with respect to the variations of film thickness and TEG metal line width. Aluminum(Al), Tantalum(Ta) and Chromium(Cr) that are currently used as TFT electrode films were selected as the probed metal films. To date, no work in the electrical characterizations of patterned electrodes of a-Si TFT was accomplished. Bulk resistance$(R_b)$, sheet resistance$(R_s)$, and resistivities($\rho$) of TEG patterned metal lines were obtained. Electrical continuity test of metal film lines was also performed in order to investigate the stability of metallization process. Almost uniform-linear variations of the electrical properties with respect to the metal line displacements was also observed.

셀구조물은 선박, 항공기, 우주선 등의 산업분야에 자주 사용되는 중요한 구조요소로서, 이에 대한 연구도 공학적 필요성에 의해 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. Maddox등의 Rayleigh-Ritz법, Srinivasan and Bobby의 적분방정식 기법, Petyt의 유한요소법, Irie, Henderson등의 전달매트릭스법, 그 외 Webster, Petyt and Deb Nath, Blevins, Srinivasan and Krishnan등에 의해 여러가지 해석방법의 진동해석이 행해져 왔다. 현재 주로 사용되고 있는 매트릭스 구조해석 및 진동해석 방법으로는 유한요소법과 전달매트릭스법을 들 수 있다. 유한요소법은 범용적인 해석 프로그램의 개발은 수월하지만 대규모의 선형 연립방정식의 해법에 귀착되므로, 기억용량이 큰 대형컴퓨터가 필요하고, 반면 전달매트릭스법은 기억용량이 적은 퍼스널컴퓨터로도 계산수행이 가능하나 고차의 고유진동수를 구할 경우나, 중간에 단단한 경탄성지지가 존재할 경우 등에는 수치계산상의 문제점이 지적되고 있다. 이에 대한 대책으로, 상태변수를 바꾸어 넣은 Riccati방법, 각 절점의 기지의 상태변수를 제거하는 Frontal법, 전달매트릭스와 강성매트릭스를 결합시키는 방법 등이 보고 되고 있다. 이에 자자들은 퍼스널컴퓨터 이용에 적합한 고속, 고정도의 구조해석 및 진동해석 기법으로 전달영향계수법을 제안하여, 원판구조물, 사각판구조물, 원통형 셀구조물 등의 여러가지 형상구조물의 자유진동 해석에 적용해서, 종래의 전달매트릭스법에 비해 계산정도 및 계산속도의 양면에서 매우 우수함을 보고한바 있다. 본 연구에서는 동적영향계수의 축차전달에 그 개념을 두고 있는 전달영향계수법을 좀 더 일반화시키고 체계화시키기 위하여 탄성지지를 갖는 셀구조물에 적용하여 자유진동 해석 알고리즘을 정식화한 후, 간단한 모델에 대한 수치실험을 통해서 전달 영향계수법으로 구한 해를 전달매트릭스법의 결과와 비교.검토하여 본 방법의 유용성을 확인하였다.

Desiccation of a soil is basically the removal of water by evaporation, which is controlled by evaporativity and evaporability. Surface evaporation improves the trafficability which is essential for the access of construction equipment in the area reclaimed with soft clay. The existing traditional methods for evaluating evaporation can not account for the deformation of reclaimed soft soils during evaporation. Therefore, a theoretical model for predicting the rate of evaporation from the surface of a deformable material is proposed. The model is based on a system of equations for coupled heat and mass transfer in unsaturated soils. The modified pressure plate extractor test and glass desiccator test were carried out to obtain the soil-water characteristic curve for a deformable soil. The column drying test was conducted to investigate one dimensional water flow, heat flow and evaporation in the surface. A finite difference program was developed to solve the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations, which permit the study of water, vapor and heat flows in the deformable soil. Comparison between measured and simulated values shows a reasonably good matching between the two.

A complete solution, exact to second-order, for wave motion forced by a hinged-wavemaker of variable-draft is presented. A solution for a piston type wavemaker is also obtained as a special case of a hinged-wavemaker. The laboratory waves generated by a plane wave board are shown to be composed of two components; viz., a Stokes second-order wave and a second-harnomic free wave which travels at a different speed. The amplitude of the second-harmonic free wave is relatively large in shallow water and decreases to less than 10% of the amplitude of the primary wave in deep water. Wavemakers with relatively deeper draft (i.e., hinged near the bottom) generate the free waves of smaller amplitude in shallow and intermediate water depths than the wavemakers with shallow draft. However, the opposite is predicted by theory in deep water.

This paper presented analysis methods for adapting E-glass fiber/epoxy composite (GFRP) materials to an automotive leaf spring. It focused on the static behaviors of the leaf spring due to the material composition and its fiber orientation. The material properties of the GFRP composite were directly measured based on the ASTM standard test. A reverse implementation was performed to obtain the complete set of in-situ fiber and matrix properties from the ply test results. Next, the spring rates of the composite leaf spring were examined according to the variation of material parameters such as the fiber angles and resin contents of the composite material. Finally, progressive failure analysis was conducted to identify the initial failure load by means of an elastic stress analysis and specific damage criteria. As a result, it was found that damage first occurred along the edge of the leaf spring owing to the shear stresses.

The fatigue behavior of GFRP composites is affected by environmental parameters. Therefore, we have to study on effect of sea water on fatigue behavior of GFRP composites as to maintain the safety and confidence in design of ocean structure of GFRP. In this paper, we investigated the fatigue properties of chopped strand glass mat/polyester composite in synthetic sea water. (pH 8.2) In case of the glass fiber (CSM type) reinforced polyester composite materials, the fatigue crack in the both dry and wet specimens tested in air or synthetic sea water occurred at the initial of cycle. Thereafter, it was divided with two regions that one decreased with the crack extension and the other increased with the crack extension. The transition point occurred during the crack propagation shifted to high ${\Delta}K$ value as load increase but its point is not changed regardless of immersion or test environment under a constant load. The synthetic sea water degrades the bond strength between fiber and matrix, thereby the tendency of rapid deceleration and acceleration of the crack growth was appeared.

The interlaminar facture behavior of multidirectional carbon-fiber/epoxy composite laminates under low and high rates of test, up to rate of about 11.4m/s has been investigated using the double cantilever beam specimens. The mode I loasing with rates above 1.0m/s had considerable dynamic effects on the load-time curves and thus revealed higher values of the average crack velocity than thet expected from a simple proportional relationship with the test rate. The modified beam analysis utilizing only the opening displacement and crack length exhibited an effective means for evaluating the dynamic fracture energy $G_{IC}$. Flexural modulus increased gradually with an increase of the test rate, which was utilized in the evaluation of $G_{IC}$. Values of $G_{IC}$ at the crack initiation and arrest were scarcely changed with increasing test rate up to 1.0m/s. However the maximum $G_{IC}$ was much enlarged at 11.4m/s due to the large amount of fiber bridging the crack tip. The larger the initial crack length, the smaller the maximum $G_{IC}$ at high rate.
