The flexural behavior of composite HSB600 and HSB800 I-girders under a positive moment was investigated using the material non-linear moment-curvature analysis method. Three representative composite sections with different ductility properties were selected as the baseline sections in this study. Using these baseline sections, the moment-curvature program was verified by comparing the flexural strength and the moment-curvature curve obtained from the program with those obtained using the non-linear FE analysis of ABAQUS. In the FE analysis, the composite girders were modeled three-dimensionally with flanges, the web, and the concrete slab as thin shell elements, and initial imperfections and residual stresses were imposed on the FE model. In the moment-curvature and FE analyses, the 28-day compressive strength of the concrete slab was assumed to be 30-50 MPa, and the HSB600 and HSB800 steels were modeled as elasto-plastic strain-hardening materials, with the concrete as the CEB-FIP model. The effects of the ductility ratio of the composite girder, the type of steel, the compressive strength of the concrete deck, and the location of the plastic neutral axis on the flexural characteristics were analyzed.

This paper presents the flexible MEMS transmitter based on flexible printed circuit board or FPCB, which can be transformed to arbitrary shape. The FPCB is suitable to fabricate light weight and small size modules with the help of its thin thickness. Moreover a module based on FPCB can be attached on the arbitrary curved surface due to its flexible enough to be lolled up like paper. In this paper, the flexible MEMS transmitter integrated on FPCB for a short-distance sensor network which is based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) communication system is proposed. The active device of the proposed flexible MEMS transmitter is fabricated on InGaP/GaAs HBT process which has been used for power amplifier design to take advantages of high linear and high efficient characteristics. Moreover, the passive devices such as the filter and signal lines are integrated and fabricated on the FPCB board. The performance of the fabricated flexible MEMS transmitter is analyzed with EVM characteristics of the output signal.

This paper presents the appropriateness for using high strength reinforcement according to the use of high strength concrete. Nine flexural tests were conducted on full-scale beam specimens according to the concrete strength, reinforcement strength and reinforcement ratio as main variable. The structural behavior was analyzed due to the flexural strength, stress-strain curve, deflections at yielding and fracture point, crack appearance and ductility factor. The member with high-strength reinforcements showed large deflection at yielding point and this was analyzed as a main cause to decrease the ductility factor. Structural behavior after yielding point, however, showed similarity to behavior of members with normal strength reinforcements of same stiffness. It was found that in the case of using reinforcements of $5500kgf/cm^2$ strength, the combination with concrete of $800kgf/cm^2$ strength demonstrated the great appropriateness which can increase the flexural capacity without any reduction of maximum reinforcement ratio.

Laminar-shear-boxes are widely used to simulate free-field seismic ground response by using a l-g shaking table or geo centrifuge in geotechnical earthquake engineering. This study numerically modeled and compared the ground responses in the free field, rigid box, and laminar shear box by using a 3-D FEM program. It is found from the numerical simulations that the laminar shear box can simulate the free field ground movement more precisely than the rigid box. However, the laminar shear box underestimated the surface acceleration of the free field ground. It also showed low-frequency characteristics probably because the stiffness and inertia effect of surrounding ground are neglected.

Vibrations and wave propagations in waveguide structures can be analysed efficiently by using waveguide finite element (WFE) method. The WFE method only models the 2-dimensional cross-section of the waveguide with finite elements so that the size of the model and computing time are much less than those of the 3-dimensional FE models. For cylindrical shells or pipes which have simple cross-sections, the external coupling with fluids can be treated theoretically. For waveguides of complex cross-sectional geometries, however, numerical methods are required to deal with external fluids. In this numerical approach, the external fluid is modelled by the boundary elements (BEs) and connected to WFEs. In order to validate this WFE/BE method, a pipe submerged in water is considered in this study. The dispersion diagrams and point mobilities of the pipe simulated are compared to those that theoretically obtained. Also the acoustic powers radiated from the pipe are predicted and compared in both cases of air and water as an external medium.

연성회로기판은 일반적으로 절연체를 이루는 폴리이미드와 전도체를 이루는 구리로 구성되어 있다. 폴리이미드는 뛰어난 열적 화학적 안정성, 기계적 특성, 공정성 등의 장점으로 인해 연성회로기판의 절연체로서 제안되었지만 전도체를 이루는 구리와의 접합 특성이 우수하지 않기 때문에 많은 연구가 현재까지 진행되고 있고, 그 결과 연성회로기판의 접합 특성에 많은 개선이 이루어짐과 동시에 다양한 공정 방법이 제안되고 있다. 하지만 고온다습한 환경에서 사용될 경우 폴리이미드의 높은 흡습성과, 구리와 seed layer의 산화 문제로 인해 접합 특성이 저하된다는 단점 또한 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 고온다습한 조건하에서 seed layer가 80Ni/20Cr 합금으로 구성된 연성회로기판의 seed layer의 두께와 시효시간으로 인해 발생하는 접합 신뢰성의 차이를 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서는 두께 $25{\mu}m$의 폴리이미드 위에 각각 100, 200, $300{\AA}$ 두께의 80Ni/20Cr의 합금 조성을 가지는 seed layer를 스퍼터링 공정을 통해 형성한 후 전해도금법을 이용하여 $8{\mu}m$ 두께의 구리 전도층을 형성하였다. 접합 특성 평가를 위해 ICP 규격에 따라 전도층 패턴을 폭 3.2mm, 길이 230mm로 시편을 제작하여 50.8mm/min의 이송 속도로 각 시편당 8회의 $90^{\circ}$ peel test를 실시하였다. 또한 $85^{\circ}C$/85% 항온항습 조건하에서 각각 24, 72, 120, 168시간 동안 시효 처리 후 같은 방법으로 연성회로기판의 접합 특성을 평가하였다. 파면의 형상과 조성을 분석하기 위해 SEM (Scanning electron microscope)과 EDS (Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy)를 사용하였으며, 파면의 조도 측정을 위해 AFM (Atomic force microscope)을 사용하였다. 또한 파면의 잔여물 분석을 위해 EPMA (Energy probe microanalysis)를 사용하였고 계면의 화학적 결합상태를 분석하기 위해 XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)를 통해 파면을 분석하였다.

씨일의 표면마찰계수 특성이 씨일의 동특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 씨일내의 유속이 증가함에 따라서 마찰계수가 급상승하는 허니콤 씨일을 대상으로 이론적 해석을 하였다. 그 결과 마찰계수의 급상승 현상은 마찰계수의 급상승 현상이 없는 경우에 비하여 강성계수의 감소를 야기하고 회전축-베어링계의 불안정성과 관계가 있는 연성 강성계수의 큰 감소를 보였다. 또한 회전축-베어링계의 안정성을 도모하는 감쇠 계수의 증가를 야기함으로써 회전기계의 운전점이 마찰계수의 급상승 범위에 있다면 시스템의 안정성면에서 매우 유리할 것으로 사료된다. 마찰계수의 급상승 현상을 보이는 허니콤 씨일의 동특성에 대한 이론적 해석 결과, 강성계수는 매우 작게 예측되었으나 연성강성계수와 감쇠계수는 비교적 실험결과와 근사함을 보였다.

This paper explored how soft information and hard information were used when SBC(Small Business Corporation, Korea) reviewed government loan applications. The data set is made up of financial and non-financial data of small-business firms since 2004. A non-financial data set is considered as soft information. Relative importance of three kinds information such as credit information, soft information, financial information is compared with each other by using the logit model. As a result, credit information is most critical to the loan approval, and then soft information follows, lastly financial information has the smallest effect on the loan approval. This is because the credit information is made up of the non-linear combination of soft information and financial information. When the relative importance of soft information and financial information is considered, soft information is relatively more critical to the loan approval then financial information. This is because financial ratios provided by small-business firms are not reliable enough.

In concrete structural design provisons, there is a minimum allowable strain of steel to ensure a ductility of RC members and a c/d is limited for the same purpose in EC2. In general, a ductility capacity of RC members is evaluated by a displacement ductility which is a ratio of ultimate displacement to yield displacement, and it is necessary to calculate accurately a yield displacement and an ultimate displacement to evaluate a displacement ductility. But a displacement in members is affected by various member characteristics, so it is hard to calculate a displacement exactly. In this study, a displacement ductility is calculated by calculating a yield displacement and an ultimate displacement through a moment-curvature relationship. The main variables examined are concrete strength, yield strength, steel ratio, spacing of confinement, axial force ratio and concrete ultimate strain. As results, as a concrete strength is increased, a ductility displacement is increased. But as yield strength, steel ratio, spacing of confinement and axial force ratio are increased, a displacement ductility is decreased. And a displacement ductility is necessary to calculate a response modification factor (R) of columns for seismic design, so it is appeared that it is important to calculate a displacement ductility more accurately.

The purpose of this study is to develop fiber reinforced cement matrix composite (ECC) produced with limestone powder in order to achieve high ductility of the composite, and to evaluate flexural performance of structural members made with ECC. Four kinds of mixture proportions were determined on the basis of the micromechanics and a steady state cracking theory considering the matrix fracture toughness and fiber-matrix interfacial characteristics. The mechanical properties of ECC, represented by strain-hardening behavior in uniaxial tension, were investigated. Also, strength property of the composite was experimentally evaluated. Two structural members made with ECC were produced and tested. Test results were compared with those of conventional concrete structural members. Increased limestone powder contents of ECC provides higher ductility of the composites while generally resulting in a lower strength property. ECC structural members exhibited higher flexural ductility, higher flexural load-carrying capacity and tighter crack width compared to conventional structural members.
