In this paper, a novel wideband crossed planar monopole antenna with the double resonance characteristics is proposed. The proposed monopole antenna consists of a wideband crossed planar monopole antenna and L-shaped slits. In order to generate double resonance characteristics on the proposed monopole antenna, the length of L-shaped slit on the antenna surface is obtained from the quarter-wavelength of the second resonance frequency The double resonance characteristics of the proposed antenna can be easily designed by the control of length of L shaped slit at an interesting frequency. The proposed antenna having an omnidirectional radiation pattern and a high gain over the double resonance frequency bands, respectively, is suitable for mobile multiband antenna.

The objective of this study is to clarify the structural features of members consisting of a connection, as part of the previous study on the CFT column-to-beam tensile connection with a combined cross diaphragm. This connection has the following merits: it evenly distributes the stress on the beam flange and the diaphragm and reduces the stress concentration by improving the stress transfer route and restraining the abrupt deformation of the diaphragm. Finite element analysis was performed to find out the stress transfer through the sleeve, which is an important member of the connection with a combined cross diaphragm. The length and thickness of the sleeve were used as variables for the analysis. The analysis results showed that the length and thickness of the sleeve did not influence the capacity of the connection and played the role of a medium for the transfer of the stress from the diaphragm to the filled concrete. It was proposed that the appropriate length of the sleeve have the same value as the diameter of the sleeve and that the appropriate ratio of the sleeve diameter to the sleeve thickness be 20. Two equations for the evaluation of the load carrying the capacity of the connection were also proposed through the modification of the evaluation equation suggested in the previous study.

This paper describes the design process of a six-component force/torque (F/T) sensor. The new six-component F/T sensor having leaf spring ends has been developed using a cross beam structure as the basic sensing element. Fundamental strain analysis of both ends fixed beam having a leaf spring structure is performed by finite element analysis. In order to obtain similar output sensing strains from the six component loads and minimize coupling strains, the optimal location of strain gages is determined and the strain gages are connected so that the bridge circuits with four strain gages would be balanced. Using leaf spring ends instead of rigid fixed ends, remarkable increment in output sensing strain can be achieved for two component forces. Several modifications in design result in a similar sensing strain of approximately $400\;{\mu}m/m$ for the six-component forces and moments, and a reduced coupling strain of $0\;{\mu}m/m$ between the forces and moments.

Most beam-to-column connections are symmetrically reinforced because of the reverse action caused by earthquakes. However, in weak-earthquake regions like Korea, asymmetrically reinforced connections could be used. In particular, the connections between concrete-filled tube (CFT) column and H-shape beam could be applied using a simplified lower diaphragm. The tensile capacity or Combined Cross Diaphragm for upper reinforcing was tested using a simple tension test. Four types for lower reinforcing combined Cross, none, horizontal T-bar, and vertical plate were tested using the ANSI/AISC SSPEC 2002 loading program. Horizontal T-bar and stud bolts in vertical flat, bar transmit tensile stress from the beam's bottom flange to filled concrete. All test specimens satisfied 0.01 radian inelastic rotational requirement in ordinary moment frame of AISC seismic provision. According to the results of the parametric studies simplified lower diaphragms demonstrated outstanding strength, stiffness, and plastic deformation capacity which could lead to more sufficient seismic performance in the field.

For the connections between modular units in modular buildings, the bolted joints with connector plates are used commonly. The strength of structure is determined by the weakest part of structure and the connections may be weaker than the members being joined. Therefore, to check the safety of modular building, the structural performance of connections between modular units as well as that of beam-to-column connections should be evaluated. In this study, the behavior of module to module connection with straight and cross shaped connector plates is investigated by lateral cyclic tests according to KBC2009 0722.2.4 which shall be conducted by controlling the story drift angle in the width and the longitudinal direction respectively. All of test results generally show the stable ductile behavior up to 0.04rad drift levels and the tests in longitudinal direction show a superior energy dissipation per cycle in each of the load steps. However, the straight shaped connector plates have the degradation of stiffness with cyclic loading and the larger drift angle of column than the cross shaped connector plates.

In this paper, cruciform radiation pattern antenna was designed and fabricated. The fabricated antenna is applicable to intersections which is composed of four eight-lane roads each having 60 m of width and 200 m of length. The design theory was based on Woodward-Lawson method and the 6 monopole elements with the strip feeding network are made by linear array on the micro-strip board. In the results, - 13.5 dB of return loss and 120 MHz(6 %) of -10 dB bandwidth were obtained at the 2 GHz. Also, at 1.95 GHz, -6 dB of gain fall was seen at $\pm$45$^{\circ}$ and thus, it is possible to say that the presented antenna has well-shaped cruciform radiation pattern.

In this paper, the strain-gauge type accelerometer is developed. This type of accelerometer has simple structure and cost for manufacturing is cheap, compared with other types of accelerometer such as piezoelectric, capacitance and servo, etc. Also it is very sensitive to the low frequency vibration which is the prominent characteristics of the vibration occurring by vehicles moving across a bridge. Two prototype accelerometers are designed and manufactured based upon the FE(Finite Element) method and static and dynamic calibration tests are performed to check out the linearity, sensitivity and cross sensitivity, etc. Experimental results designate that the proposed accelerometer show reasonable performances compared to the commercial one.

Structural dynamic characteristics and aeroelastic stability of a small-scale bearingless rotor system have been investigated. A flexbeam is one of the most important component of bearingless hub system. It must have sufficient torsional flexibility as well as baseline stiffness in order to produce feathering motion. In the present paper, a cross-shaped composite flexbeam has been proposed for a guarantee of torsional flexibility and flapwise and lagwise bending stiffness. One dimensional elastic beam model was used for the construction of a structural model. Equivalent isotropic sectional stiffness was used in the blade model, and the flexbeam was regarded as anisotropic; which has ten independent stiffness quantities. CAMRAD II has been used for the analysis of structural dynamic characteristics of the bearingless rotor system. Rotational natural frequencies and aeroelastic stability at hovering have been investigated. Analysis result shows that the cross-shaped flexbeam has the rotational natural frequency tuning capacity.

In this research, the seismic connection details for two concrete-filled U-shape steel beam-to-H columns were proposed and cyclically tested under a full-scale cruciform configuration. The key connecting components included the U-shape steel section (450 and 550 mm deep for specimens A and B, respectively), a concrete floor slab with a ribbed deck (165 mm deep for both specimens), welded couplers and rebars for negative moment transfer, and shear studs for full composite action and strengthening plates. Considering the unique constructional nature of the proposed connection, the critical limit states, such as the weld fracture, anchorage failure of the welded coupler, local buckling, concrete crushing, and rebar buckling, were carefully addressed in the specimen design. The test results showed that the connection details and design methods proposed in this study can well control the critical limit states mentioned above. Especially, the proposed connection according to the strengthening strategy successfully pushed the plastic hinge to the tip of the strengthened zone, as intended in the design, and was very effective in protecting the more vulnerable beam-to-column welded joint. The maximum story drift capacities of 6.0 and 6.8% radians were achieved in specimens A and B, respectively, thus far exceeding the minimumlimit of 4% radians required of special moment frames. Low-cycle fatigue fracture across the beam bottom flange at a 6% drift level was the final failure mode of specimen A. Specimen B failed through the fracture of the top splice plate of the bolted splice at a very high drift ratio of 8.0% radian.

This paper is a study on the behavior of Concrete-Filled Square Tubular(CFST) column to H-beam connections reinforced with external stiffeners and reinforcing bar. The cyclic loading tests of 5 test specimens were carried out. The main Parameters are as follows; 1)the length of the stiffener: 200mm, 250mm, 2)the diameter of reinforcing bar: HD16, 19. The results of the researches demonstrate that the increase of the stiffener length was more effective than the increase of the area of reinforcing bar in the point of both strength and stiffness. By reinforcing external stiffeners, stable hysteretic behavior was shown and plastic hinge was formed on the beam flange. Cold-formed tube sections should be used carefully to avoid the welding fracture at the round corners of section, and the proposed welding methods are suitable for this connections.
