In designing multi-core processors, interconnection delay is one of the major constraints in performance improvement. To solve this problem, the 3-dimensional integration technology has been adopted in designing multi-core processors. The 3D multi-core architecture can reduce the physical wire length by stacking cores vertically, leading to reduced interconnection delay and reduced power consumption. However, the power density of 3D multi-core architecture is increased significantly compared to the traditional 2D multi-core architecture, resulting in the increased temperature of the processor. In this paper, the floorplan methods which change the forms of vertical placement of the core and the level-2 cache are analyzed to solve the thermal problems in 3D multi-core processors. According to the experimental results, it is an effective way to reduce the temperature in the processor that the core and the level-2 cache are stacked adjacently. Compared to the floorplan where cores are stacked adjacently to each other, the floorplan where the core is stacked adjacently to the level-2 cache can reduce the temperature by 22% in the case of 4-layers, and by 13% in the case of 2-layers.

As the process technology scales down and integration densities continue to increase, interconnection has become one of the most important factors in performance of recent multi-core processors. Recently, to reduce the delay due to interconnection, 3D architecture has been adopted in designing multi-core processors. In 3D multi-core processors, multiple cores are stacked vertically and each core on different layers are connected by direct vertical TSVs(through-silicon vias). Compared to 2D multi-core architecture, 3D multi-core architecture reduces wire length significantly, leading to decreased interconnection delay and lower power consumption. Despite the benefits mentioned above, 3D design technique cannot be practical without proper solutions for hotspots due to high temperature. In this paper, we propose three floorplan schemes for reducing the peak temperature in 3D multi-core processors. According to our simulation results, the proposed floorplan schemes are expected to mitigate the thermal problems of 3D multi-core processors efficiently, resulting in improved reliability. Moreover, processor performance improves by reducing the performance degradation due to DTM techniques. Power consumption also can be reduced by decreased temperature and reduced execution time.

In this paper, warpage magnitude and shape of printed-circuit board in case that properties of core and thickness of solder resist are varied are investigated. The cause of warpage is coefficient of thermal expansion differences of stacked materials. Therefore, we need small difference of coefficient of thermal expansion that laminated material, and need to decrease asymmetric of top side and bottom side in structure shape. Also, we can control occurrence of warpage heightening hardness of core in laminated material. Composite material that make core are exploited in connection with the structural bending twisting coupling resulting from directional properties of fiber reinforced composite materials and from ply stacking sequence. If we use such characteristic, we can control warpage with change of material properties. In this paper, warpage of two layer stacked chip scale package is investigated, and evaluate improvement result using an experiment and finite element method tool.

본 논문에서는 액체의 가열을 위한 유도가열기에서 와전류가 발생하는 중심코어의 형태에 따른 유도가열기의 성능을 비교하였다. 특히 코어가 여러 층의 도체로 이루어졌을 경우의 시스템 성능의 변화에 대한 해석과 실험을 수행하였다. 유도가열의 수치적인 해석은 상용 프로그램인 Maxwell을 사용하였으며, 실험을 통하여 유한요소해석 모델을 검증하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 가열되는 코어가 여러 층으로 이루어져 있을 경우 유도가열기의 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

A lateral load resisting system is a necessary structural element for the mid- to high-rise modular buildings and concrete cores are known as the most typical lateral load resisting systems in 10- to 20-story modular buildings. It is difficult to construct a concrete core simultaneously with the installation and finishing work of modular units because concrete placed using wet methods might contaminate or destroy the modular unit. Therefore, we have developed a hybrid PC (precast concrete) panel construction method that can construct a concrete core together with the installation of modular units. The hybrid PC panel is a load-bearing element in which a pair of C-shaped beams are combined at the top and bottom of a concrete wall. Concrete cores can be constructed by dry method to connect the hybrid PC panels with bolts. In this study, the details and connection of hybrid PC panels are improved to have the lateral performance comparable to reinforced concrete structural walls and are verified through FE analysis.

전동기 코어 소재로 사용하는 무방향성 규소강판을 토로이달 형태가 아닌 전동기 적용 모형과 동일한 적층형으로 회전자 코어를 제작하여 초기 및 포화 자화 특성에 대한 고찰을 하였다. 초기자화 특성은 전동기가 처음 기동할 때 토크나 기동전류에 큰 영향을 미친다. 초기 자화 특성을 향상시키면 기동 전류를 줄일 뿐 아니라 전동기의 장기간 수명에도 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 무방향성 규소강판의 가공, 설계, 제작 특성이 초기 기동 특성에 미치는 영향을 간접적으로 조사하기 위하여 초기로 포화 히스테리시스 특성에 대한 고찰을 실시하고 이들 요소가 갖는 여러 가지 가능성을 제시하였다.

Manufacture of motor by laser has been studying realization that was demands on market for lightening and miniaturization. Moreover. early in the 1980s. manufacture of parts for automobiles by laser welding was already successfully introduced. The purpose of this study was to develop production technology of the high quality laminated stator core for motor by pulsed Nd:YAG laser heat source. In the event of adjusting defocus and voltage to control humping in laser welding of the laminated core. sound bead could be obtained. but deep penetration was not. Therefore. explosive evaporating plasma was controlled by adjustment of peak power on pulse width. Particularly, because explosive evaporating plasma induced high peak power, made molten metal in keyhole scatter. a suitable adjustment of peak power was required to obtain sound bead. As a results of experiment. sound bead and deep penetration could be obtained.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of thickness on the degree of cure of dual-cured composite core. 2, 4, 6, 8 mm thickness Luxacore Dual and Luxacore Self (DMG Inc, Hamburg, Germany) core composites were cured by bulk or incremental filling with halogen curing unit or self-cure mode The specimens were stored at $37^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours and the Knoop's hardness of top and bottom surfaces were measured. The statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA and Tukey's test at p = 0.05 significance level. In self cure mode, polymerization is not affected by the thickness. In Luxacore dual, polymerization of the bottom surface was effective in 2, 4 and 6 (incremental) mm specimens. However the 6 (bulk) and 8 (bulk, incremental) mm filling groups showed lower bottom/top hardness ratio (p < 0.05). Within the limitation of this experiment, incremental filling is better than bulk filling in case of over 4 mm depth, and bulk filling should be avoided.

This study was performed to study physical and mechanical properties of hybrid cross laminated timber (HCLT) with plywood as core layer in order to improve its mechanical properties for wooden housing. MOE, MOR, and dimensional stability of the HCLT were determined, depending on plywood composition and lamination direction. MOR value of the HCLT was improved as much as that of the glued laminated timber, which was 59.6% stronger than that of the cross laminated timber (CLT) control group. All MOE values of the HCLT were similar to glued laminated timber structure control group regardless of plywood composition and lamination directions. The dimensional stability of the HCLT was better than those of the glued laminated timber and CLT control group, owing to the use of plywood in the core.
