In this paper, the scattered field from a perfectly conducting fractal surface by Finite-Difference Time-Domain(FDTD) method was computed. A one-dimensional fractal surface was generated by using the fractional Brownian motion model. Back scattering coefficients are calculated with different values of the spectral parameter(S0), fractal dimension(D) which determine characteristics of the fractal surface. The number of surface realization for the computed field, the point number, and the width of surface realization are set to be 80, 1024, 16λ, respectively. In order to verify the computed results these results are compared with those of small perturbation methods, which show good agreement between them.

탄성체에서 파의 흐름, 층류 그리고 난류에서 전단층과 같은 많은 동적문제들을 유한요소성 또는 차분법으로 해석할 때 자동분할기법이 문제의 해의 정확도를 크게 향상 시켜왔다. 일정한 속도로 움직이는 열원은 그 열원의 내부 그리고 주위에서 높은 변화도를 발생 시킨다. 이렇게 변화도가 심한 부분은 유한요소법으로 해석할 때 적절하고 세밀하게 분할 된 요소만이 만족시런 해를 얻을 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 공간-시간 영역에서 변화도의 크기에 따라 시간간격이 임의로 조정되는 자동 시간간격 조정법을 발전시켰다.

Madsen et al. (2002)이 제안한 일차원 고차 Boussinesq 방정식에 대하여 불연속갤러킨 유한요소법(Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Method)을 적용하였다. 연속적인 Boussinesq 방정식에서 각 요소경계에 불연속을 허용할 수 있도록 공간차분하고, 시간방향으로 4차 Runge-Kutta 시간적분법, 각 요소사이에는 Lax-Friedrichs 수치흐름률을 사용하였다. 계산영역의 양쪽에 불필요한 파랑의 반사를 억제하도록 흡수층을 설치하였으며, 영역 내부에서 조파할 수 있도록 하였다. Luth et al.(1994)의 수중잠제 실험에 적용하여 관측값과 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

This study presents a moving least squares (MLS) finite difference method for solving elastic crack problems with stress singularity at the crack tip. Near-tip functions are intrinsically employed in the MLS approximation to model near-tip field inducing singularity in stress field. employment of the functions does not lose the merit of the MLS Taylor polynomial approximation which approximates the derivatives of a function without actual differentiating process. In the formulation of crack problem, computational efficiency is considerably improved by taking the strong formulation instead of weak formulation involving time consuming numerical quadrature Difference equations are constructed on the nodes distributed in computational domain. Numerical experiments for crack problems show that the intrinsically enriched MLS finite difference method can sharply capture the singular behavior of near-tip stress and accurately evaluate stress intensity factors.

This paper is to verify the availability of the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method for the analysis of millimeter wave microstrip patch antenna. Using this method, the size of the microstrip patch antenna resonating at 32.153 GHz is optimized and the input impedance, the voltage standing wave ratio and the radiation pattern are calculated. The resonance frequencies of the microstrip patch antenna are calculated by MOM and FDTD method and then compared with the measured results, showing the difference of 12.27% and 1.27% respectively. Also, the bandwidth of this Ka-band patch antenna is about 8% which is similar to the case of X-band.

In this paper, a stable marching-on in time(MOT) method with a time domain combined field integral equation(CFIE) is presented to obtain the transient scattering response from arbitrarily shaped three-dimensional conducting bodies. This formulation is based on a linear combination of the time domain electric field integral equation(EFIE) with the magnetic field integral equation(MFIE). The time derivatives in the EFIE and MFIE are approximated using a central finite difference scheme and other terms are averaged over time. This time domain CFIE approach produces results that are accurate and stable when solving for transient scattering responses from conducting objects. Numerical results with the proposed MOT scheme are presented and compared with those obtained from the conventional method and the inverse discrete Fourier transform(IDFT) of the frequency domain CFIE solution.

Krylov 부공간 모델차수축소법은 초기 유한요소모델과 축소모델의 전달함수의 계수인 모멘트를 일치시키는 방법을 이용하는 축소기법으로 이미 대형 유한요소모델의 주파수응답 해석의 효율적인 계산에 많이 사용되고 있는 방법 중의 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 Krylov 부공간 축소기법을 이용한 관심 주파수영역에 대한 주파수응답 해석 및 이를 통하여 계산된 주파수응답의 여러 가지 설계변수에 대한 설계민감도 해석방법을 제안하였다. 일반적으로 구조물의 주파수응답을 고려한 최적설계를 위해서는 설계변수에 대한 관심 주파수영역에서의 주파수응답 및 그의 민감도 정보가 요구되므로, 고려하는 유한요소모델이 대형일 경우에 관심 주파수영역에서의 반복적인 해석으로 인한 계산비용의 문제가 대두된다. 본 논문에서는 축소모델을 이용하여 주파수응답과 주파수응답의 설계민감도 해석을 수행하여 계산의 효율성을 극대화하였다. 민감도 계산에는 시간측면과 구현의 용이성 측면에서 장점이 있는 준해석적 방법을 이용하였다. 수치 예제를 통하여 축소기법을 이용한 주파수응답의 설계민감도 해석 결과를 유한차분법에 근거한 민감도 결과와 비교하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법을 이용하는 경우, 주파수응답을 고려한 최적설계를 계산비용 측면에서 매우 효율적으로 수행할 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, we design and analyze a Ka-band microstrip line to rectangular waveguide transition using the expanding-cell FDTD method. The transition under investigation consists of a ridged waveguide, microstrip line, and $\lambda$/4 Chebyshev impedance transformer. To improve the accuracyand efficiency, the expanding-cell FDTD method is applied to analyze the characteristics of a ridged waveguide impedance transformer. To verify the accuracy of the expanding-cell FDTD method, S parameters of the analyzed transition are compared with those of experimental data. The efficiency of the present approach is verified by comparing the computational time for expanding-cell and that for fine cell. The relation between the number of step and operation bandwidth is analyzed by comparing the characteristics of four and three step Chebyshev waveguide impedance transformer.

In this paper, the scattering parameters of the metamaterial slab are obtained using the 2D FDTD(Finite-Difference Time-Domain) method. FDTD method is one of strongest electromagnetic numerical method which is widely used to analyze the metamaterial structure because of its simplicity. But it is very difficult to obtain frequency response of metamaterial itself because frequency dispersive model such as Lorentz, Drude model are used in FDTD. We used the well-known m-n-m cycle sine pulse to obtain the frequency response of the metamaterials. Comparisons between the wideband Gaussian input pulse and band-limited m-n-m cycle sine pulse are performed in this paper also. From the results, we concluded that the scattering parameters in frequency domain can be obtained using specific input pulse in FDTD even if the response has valid only for limited bandwidth.

A micro flow sensor on silicon substrate allows the fabrication of small components where many different functions can be integrated so that the functionality of the sensors can be increased. Further more, the small size of the elements these sensors can be quite fast. A thermal mass flow sensor measures the asymmetry of temperature profile around the heater which is modulated by the fluid flow. In normal, a mass flow sensor is composed of a central heater and a pair of temperature sensing elements around the heater A new 2-D wide range micro flow sensor structure with three pairs of temperature sensors and a central heater was proposed and numerically simulated by Finite Difference formulation to confirm the feasibility of the flow sensor structure in time domain.
