This review paper investigates the use of shockwave attenuating materials within composite structures to enhance personnel protection against blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI). This paper also introduces experimental methodologies exploited in the generation and measurement of shockwaves to evaluate the performance of the shock dissipating composites. The generation of shockwaves is elucidated through diverse approaches such as high-energy explosives, shock tubes, lasers, and laser-flyer techniques. Evaluation of shockwave propagation and attenuation involves the utilization of cutting-edge techniques, including piezoelectric, interferometer, electromagnetic induction, and streak camera methods. This paper investigates phase-separated materials, including polyurea and ionic liquids, and provides insight into composite structures in the quest for shockwave pressure attenuation. By synthesizing and analyzing the findings from these experimental approaches, this review aims to contribute valuable insights to the advancement of protective measures against blast-induced traumatic brain injuries.

It is very important to design of QAM modulator of high spectral efficiency for high speed data transmission. In this paper, typical 16-QAM modulator is designed by modification design of DDFS(direct digital frequency synthesizer). DDFS generates sinusoidal waveform digitally to the frequency setting word. Phase modulation is accuratly made by control of a generated phase increment value and amplitude modulation is accomplished in the D/A converter output by control of amplitude level. For the suppression of harmonics and glitch, dual-structured DDFS is studied to improve the spurious characteristics. P-Spice is used for design and simulation in mixed mode. Also we can get the satisfactory results of designed 16-QAM modulator from the constellation output.

By extending one-dimensional ZND detonation structure analysis model, a simple model for two-dimensional oblique detonation wave structure analysis is presented by coupling Rankine-Hugoniot relation and chemical kinetics for oblique shock wave and oblique detonation wave. Base on this study, two-dimensional fluid dynamics analysis is carried out to investigate the detailed unsteady structure of oblique detonation waves involving triple point, transverse waves and cellular structures. CFD results provide a deeper insight into the detailed structure of oblique detonation waves, and the simple model could be used as a unified design tool for hypersonic propulsion systems employing oblique detonation wave as combustion mechanism.

In this paper we report the fabrication of a planar optical wavehuide lens on a Y-cut LiNbO3 substrate by Ti_indiffusion and Ti-indiffused proton-exchange(TIPE). LiNbo3 planar waveguides are fabricated and refractive indices of the waveguides are fabricated and refractive indices of the waveguides are measured. Based on the measured indices, palanr waveguide lenses are designed and fabricated. The measured focal point and spot size of the fabricated lens are in good agreement with those of the designed lens.

This paper proposes a single-phase Phase-locked loop (PLL) of the virtual two phase generator using full-order state observer, which is essential to find phase and frequency of the single-phase source. The conventional methods cannot remove the low-order harmonics included in source voltage, which influencesto whole PLL control system. The proposed algorithm separates fundamental wave from harmonics, and removes harmonics effectively. Therefore it generates only the fundamental wave. As it controls virtual voltage and input voltage together, it decreases steady-state error. From simulation and experimental results, the generated frequency by the proposed PLL which it plans, converges to the actual value, and the steady-state error is much reduced under given harmonic voltages. It is also confirmed that the proposed algorithm removed harmonics effectively and it generates only the fundamental wave.

Numerical analysis was performed on the shock wave-boundary layer interaction generated in the internal flow path of the curved interstage of the scramjet engine flight test vehicle. For numerical analysis, the turbulence model k-ω SST was used in the compressibility Raynolds Averaged Navier Stokes(RANS) equation. Representatively, the separation bubbles on the upper wall of the nozzle, the interaction between the concave shock wave and the boundary layer, and the shock wave-shock wave interaction at the edge were captured. The analysis result visualizes the shock wave-boundary layer interaction of the curved internal flow path to enhance understanding and suggest design considerations.

This paper proposes slow wave structure(SWS) utilized to increase antenna gain of printed dipole antenna(PDA) and to suppress sidelobe level simultaneously, and makes sure of electrical characteristics of the antenna according to parameter variations of components of the slow wave structure. The printed slow wave structure which is composed of a dielectric substrate and a metal rods array is located on excited direction of the PDA, affecting the radiation pattern and its intensity. Parasitic elements of the metal rods are arrayed in narrow consistent gap and have a tendency to gradually decrease in length. In this paper, array interval, element length, and taper angle are selected as the parameter of the parasitic element that effects radiation characteristics. Magnitude and phase distribution of the electrical field are observed and analyzed for each parameter variations. On the basis of these results, while the radiation pattern is analyzed, array methods of parasitic elements of the SWS for high gain characteristics are provided. The proposed antenna is designed to be operated at the Wifi band(5.15~5.85 GHz), and parameters of the parasitic element are optimized to maximize antenna gain and suppress sidelobe. Simulated and measured results of the fabricated antenna show that it has wide bandwidth, high efficiency, high gain, and low sidelobe level.
