A simple design method for rib-reinforced seismic steel moment connections has been recently proposed based on the equivalent strut model. An experimental program was implemented to verify the proposed design method, as well as develop the schemes that will prevent cracking at the rib tip where stress concentration was evident. All specimens designed using the proposed method were able to develop a satisfactory connection plastic rotation of 0.04 radian. In addition to rib reinforcement, slight beam flange trimming pushed the plastic hinging and local buckling of the beam away from the rip tip and effectively reduced cracking potential at the rib tip. Using strain gage readings, the strut action of the rib and resulting reverse shear in the beam web were also experimentally identified.

This paper suggests techniques to enhance coding time which is a problem in traditional fractal compression and to improve fidelity of reconstructed images by determining fractal coefficient through adaptive selection of block approximation formula. First, to reduce coding time, we construct a linear list of domain blocks of which characteristics is given by their luminance and variance and then we control block searching time according to the first permissible threshold value. Next, when employing three-level block partition, if a range block of minimum partition level cannot find a domain block which has a satisfying approximation error, There applied to 24-bpp color image compression and image techniques. The result did not occur a loss in the image quality of the image when using the encoding method, such as almost to the color in the YIQ image compression rate and image quality, such as RGB images and showed good.

A moving-coil type linear actuator has been widely used in the system reciprocating short stroke because of its several advantages, such as the structural simplicity, low weight and a fast control response speed. This paper presents a design approach for improving the actuating performance with a clear expression of optimal configuration represented by a level set function. The optimization problem is formulated to minimize the variation of magnetic force at every moving displacement of the mover for fast and easy control. To consider the manufacturability of actuator, the concept of phase-field model is incorporated to control the complexity of structural boundaries. To verify the usefulness of the proposed method, the core design example of cylindrical linear actuator is performed.

A Compton X-ray backscatter technique has been developed to quantitatively assess impact damage in quasi-isotropic laminated composites made by a drop-weight tester. X-ray backscatter imaging system with a slit-type camera is constructed to obtain a cross-sectional profile of impact-damaged laminated composites from the electron-density variation of the cross section. A nonlinear scattering model based on Boltsman equation is introduced to compute Compton X-ray backscattering field for the defect assessment. An adaptive filter is also used to reduce noises from many sources including quantum noise and irregular distributions of fibers and matrix in composites. Delaminations masked or distorted by the first delamination are detected and characterized effectively by the Compton X-ray backscatter technique, both in width and location, by application of error minimization algorithm.

In this study, we have developed cation-exchange membranes (CEMs) which can efficiently separate heavy-metal ions among the cations contained in a water system. Sulfonated polyetheretherketone (SPEEK) was used as a base polymer and a powdered chelating resin with strong binding ability to heavy-metal ions was added into it. In order to optimize the performance of the CEM, the content of chelating resin powder and the ion exchange capacity of SPEEK have been controlled. As a result, it was confirmed that the removal efficiency of heavy metal ion was improved by more than 20% by applying the CEM to membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI).

A single use, screen-printed sensor for the measurement of liquid phase ethanol was developed and its electrochemical performance was investigated. Disposable type edthanol sensor was fabricated by serially screen printing the carbon paste, silverd pasted and insulator inlon a polyester substrate to pattern working and reference electrode sites and electrical contact. Alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH) or alcohol oxidase(AOD) together with appropriate electron transfer mediators was immobilized on the working electrode. To improve the sensitivity and reproducibility of carbon paste electrode, some pretreatment procedures were applied and their resultant electrochemical performance was examined. The disposable type electrochemical ethanol sensor developed in this study conveniently determines the ethanol in liquid samples such as blood and in fermentation process.

This paper presents the development and application of a conducting shape memory polyurethane (CSMPU) actuator. While conventional shape memory polyurethanes were activated by external heat source, conducting shape memory polyurethanes introduced in 2004 are activated by electric power. Conducting shape memory polyurethane actuators were manufactured by adding carbon nano tube to conventional shape memory polyurethane. The main problem of the CSMPU developed in 2004 was bad dispersion of carbon nano tubes. In this paper, we tried to find how to solve the dispersion problem, and with a lot of elaborative works, conducting shape memory polyurethane actuators which had better electrical characteristics were developed. Then the actuation performance of the conducting shape memory polyurethane actuators was also measured and assessed. Finally, the possibility of applications were examined through the installation to Micro Air Vehicle.

The optimal layout design is used in the development of various areas of industry. In the field of space systems, components must be placed properly in the limited space of spacecraft by considering mechanical, thermal and electrical interfaces. When applying optimal layout design, a proper, even ideal placement of components is possible in the limited space of a satellite platform. Through the optimal placement design, the minimized moment of inertia enhances efficient attitude control, rapid maneuver and mission performance of the satellite. This paper proposes 3D optimal layout design that minimizes the spacecraft's moment of inertia and effect of thermal dissipation between inner components as well as interference between inner components based on a cubic-structure satellite platform. This study proposes the new genetic algorithm for 3D optimal layout design of the satellite platform.

Space Imaging Sensor operated on LEO is affected from the Earth IR and Albedo as well as the Sun Radiation. The Imaging Sensor exposed to extreme environment needs thermal control subsystem to be maintained in operating/non-operating allowable temperature. Generally, units are periodically dissipated on spacecraft panel, which is designed as radiator. Because thermal design of the imaging sensor inside a spacecraft is isolated, heat pipes connected to radiators on the panel efficiently transfer dissipation of the units. First of all, preliminary thermal design of radiating area and heater power is performed through steady energy balance equation. Based on preliminary thermal design, on-orbit thermal analysis is calculated by SINDA, so calculation for thermal design could be easy and rapid. Radiators are designed to rib-type in order to maintain radiating performance and reduce mass. After on-orbit thermal analysis, thermal requirements for Space Imaging Sensor are verified.
