Mechanical properties of static and dynamic behavior became important since the use of conical composite tubes in large structures such as aerospace, planes, and submarines as well as leisure goods such as bicycle frames, fishing rods, and golf shafts. In the past, the mechanical property prediction model for static behavior was studied using vibration, bending, and buckling. But there is a need to study how fiber orientation error affects mechanical properties of conical composite structure because the model assumes constant fiber orientation angle. The purpose of this study is to derive an equation that can predict the static behavior of conical composite tube for bicycle frames by considering fiber orientation error with respect to various design parameters.

This study presents the kinematics of an intrinsic continuum robot actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles. The single section of a developed continuum robot consisted of three muscles in parallel. The contraction of each muscle according to applied air pressure produced spatial motions of a distal plate with respect to a base plate. Based on the bending behaviors of artificial muscles, the orientation and position of the end-effector of a continuum robot were formulated using a transformation matrix. The orientation and position was also determined for a single section of the distal plate. A Jacobian matrix relating the contraction rate or the pressure rate of the muscles to the velocity vector of the end-effector was calculated considering the assembled position of actuators between neighboring sections of the robot. Experimental results showed that the motions of the intrinsic continuum robot were accurately estimated by the proposed kinematics.

Nonlinear behavior and large deformation cannot be analyzed using techniques based on linear theory. Nonetheless, they are emerging as gradually huge and complex structures. In addition, the optimum design of structure is necessary in the development of high-performance computation and numerical methods. as well as stricter design-criterion. Therefore, the structural problems in engineering that are limited to the linear region must be extended to the nonlinear region. Likewise, structural behavior must be accurately analyzed. In turn, this requires considering the expected problems beforehand. Only then can an efficient, economical, and optimized structure be designed. This paper presents the solution of the geometrical nonlinear problem of anisotropic cylindrical shell. The characteristics of the geometrical nonlinear behavior of anisotropic circular cylindrical shells may vary according to several causes. e.g., change of fibers, curvature in the circumferential direction, subtended angle, aspect, etc. Parametric studies were conducted to determine the effect of factors on the large deflection behavior of laminated shells, with interesting observations.

Sub 100 nm의 Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) 소자를 구동하기 위해서는 2.0 nm 이하의 $SiO_2$ oxide에 해당하는 전기적 특성이 요구된다. 그러나 2.0 nm 이하의 $SiO_2$에서는 누설 전류가 너무 크기 때문에 이를 대체하기 위해서 유전 상수 (dielectric permittivity)가 높은 $HfO_2$ (${\varepsilon}=25$), $Al_2O_3$, $HfO_2/Al_2O_3$ laminate 등의 high-k dielectric 물질들이 연구되고 있다[1]. High-k dielectric 물질의 전기적 특성은 박막 조성, 두께 및 전극과의 계면에 생성되는 계면 층이나 불순물(Impurity) 거동에 크게 의존하므로 High-k dielectric/전극(Metal or Si) 구조에서 조성 및 불순물의 거동에 대한 정확한 평가가 주요 쟁점으로 부각되고 있다. 이를 평가하기 위해 일반적으로 $Ar^+$ ion에 의한 depth profiling 분석이 진행되나 Oxygen 원자의 선택적 식각에 기인된 분석 깊이 분해능(Depth Resolution) 왜곡으로 계면 층의 형성이나 불순물의 거동을 정확하게 평가할 수 없다. 이러한 예로는 $Ta_2O_5$ 및 $SrBi_2Ta_2O_9$와 같은 다 성분 계 산화막에 $Ar^+$ ion 주사 시 발생하는 선택적인 식각(Preferential Sputtering) 때문에 박막의 실제 조성 및 거동을 평가하는 것은 어렵다고 보고된 바 있다[2,3]. 본 연구에서는 $90{\AA}$인 적층 $Hf_xO_y/Al_xO_y/Hf_xO_y$ 구조에서의 불순물 거동 분석 능력 확보 상 주요 인자인 깊이 분해능 개선을 Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy(SIMS)의 primary ion 종, impact energy 및 주사 각도를 변화시켜 ~1 nm 수준까지 구현하였다. 이러한 분석 깊이 분해능의 개선은 Low Impact Energy, 입사 이온의 glancing angle 및 Cluster ion 적용에 의존하며 이들 요인의 효과에 대해 비교/고찰하고자 한다.

An aluminum or CFRP (Carbon Fiber ReinfDrced Plastics)is representative one of light-weight materials but its axial collapse mechanism is different from each other. The aluminum member absorbs energy by stable plastic deformation, while the CFRP member absorbs energy by unstable brittle failure with higher specific strength and stiffness than those in the aluminum member. In an attempt to achieve a synergy effect by combining the two members, aluminum CFRP compound square members were manufactured, which are composed of aluminum members wrapped with CFRP outside aluminum square members with different fiber orientation angle and thickness of CFRP, and axial collapse tests were performed fur the members. The axial collapse characteristics of the compound members were analyzed and compared with those of the respective aluminum members and CFRP members. Test results showed that the collapse of the aluminum CFRP compound member complemented unstable brittle failure of the CFRP member due to ductile characteristics of the inner aluminum member. The collapse modes were categorized into four modes under the iuluence of the fiber orientation angle and thickness of CFRP. The absorbed energy Per unit mass, which is in the light-weight aspect was higher in the aluminum CFRP compound member than that in the aluminum member and the CFRP member alone.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the possibility of weight reduction by changing the partition panel of vehicle from an existing aluminum material to carbon fiber reinforced plastics. Three weaving methods (plain, twill and satin) were used in the manufacture of composite materials, and they were produced and tested to derive their material properties. The analysis model of composite partition panel for torsional conditions was developed and the structural stability and system stiffness were evaluated according to Tsai-Hill failure criteria. With design variables for fiber orientation angles and stacking sequence, evolutional optimal algorithm was performed and as the results, the optimal composite partition panel was designed. In addition, the structural analysis results for strength and specific stiffness were compared with aluminum partition panels and composite partition panels to verify the possibility of weight reduction.

In this paper, a hybrid beamforming antenna system using broadband butler matrix and phase shifter is proposed. In the previous works, an $8{\times}8$ butler matrix is used to overcome a drawback of the $4{\times}4$ butler matrix based switched beamforming which provides only 4 beam patterns. However the $8{\times}8$ butler matrix should be designed on the bi-layered substrate using via holes due to its complex structure. It causes performance degradation. To overcome these problems, the proposed hybrid beamforming antenna system is designed on the single side of the substrate for simple structure. By addition of two phase shifter, it provide various beam patterns. The proposed antenna system provides more than 10 dBi radiation gain in the ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ scanning range by 16 input combinations.

In this paper, we presents a new cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) system for the reconstruction of 3 dimensional dynamic images. The system using cone beam has less the exposure of radioactivity than fan beam, relatively. In the system, the reconstruction 3-D image is reconstructed with the radiation angle of X-ray in the image processing unit and transmitted to the monitor. And in the image processing unit, the Three Pass Shear Matrices, a kind of Rotation-based method, is applied to reconstruct 3D image because it has less transcendental functions than the one-pass shear matrix to decrease a time of calculations for the reconstruction 3-D image in the processor. The new system is able to get 3~5 3-D images a second, reconstruct the 3-D dynamic images in real time. And we showed the Rotation-based method was good rather than existing reconstruction technique for 3D images, also found weakness and a solution for it.

Piecewise Integrated Composite (PIC) is a new concept to design composite structures of multiple stacking angles both for in-plane direction and through the thickness direction in order to improve stiffness and strength. In the present study, PIC beam was suggested based on 3D training data instead of 2D data, which did offer a limited behavior of beam characteristics, with enhancing the stiffness accompanied by reduced tip deformation. Generally training data were observed from the designated reference finite elements, and preliminary FE analysis was conducted with respect to regularly distributed reference elements. Also triaxiality values for each element were obtained in order to categorize the loading state, i.e. tensile, compressive or shear. The main FE analysis was conducted to predict the mechanical characteristics of the PIC beam.
