Edge notched A16061-T6 aluminum was repaired with a GFRP composite patch as a function of the number of stacking, Damage progress of specimen for tension load has been monitored by acoustic emission(AE), AE energy rate, hit rate, amplitude, waveform and 1st peak frequency distribution were analyzed. Fracture processes were classified into Al cracking, Fiber breakage, Resin cracking and Delamination. Displacement of a specimen can be divided into Region I, II and ill according to acoustic emission characteristics. Region II where the patch itself was actually fractured was focused on to clarify the AE characteristics difference for the number of stacking.

In this paper, a Wittrick-Williams algorithm is developed for the spectral element model of an elastic-piezoelectric two-layer active beam. This algorithm may help calculate all the required natural frequencies, which lie below any chosen frequency, without the possibility of missing any due to close grouping or due to the abrupt sign changes of the determinant of spectral element matrix via infinity instead of via zero. A uniform active beam and a partially patched active beam are considered as the illustrative examples to confirm the present algorithm.

A family of variational principles governing the dynamics of laminated plate has been derived using a variationally consistent shear deformable discrete laminated plate theory with particular reference to finite element procedures. The theoretical basis for the derivation is Sandhu's generalized procedure for the variational formulation of linear coupled boundary value problem. As the bilinear mapping to write the operator matrix of the field equations in self-adjoint form, convolution product was employed. Boundary conditions, initial conditions and probable internal discontinuity were explicitly included in the governing functionals. Some interesting extensions and specializations of the general variational principle were presented, which can provide many different finite element formulations for the problem.

To obtain a more accurate response from larninated composite structures, the effect of transverse shear deformation, transverse normal strain/stress, and nonlinear variation of in-plane displacements vis-$\\grave{a}$-vis the thickness coordinate should be considered in the analysis. The improved higher-order theory was used to determine the critical buckling load and natural frequencies of laminated composite structures. Solutions of simply supported laminated composite plates and sandwiches were obtained in closed form using Navier's technique, with the results compared with calculated results using the first order and other higher-order theories. Numerical results were presented for fiber-reinforced laminates, which show the effects of ply orientation, number of layers, side-toithickness ratio, and aspects ratio.

In this paper, a nonlinear modeling of lead rubber bearings(LRBs) was presented by a neural network theory. An shaking table test for a scaled frame model, of which base was isolated by the LRBs, was performed to verify numerical accuracies of the neural network model. White noise and three types of seismic records were adoped as base loads of the shaking table in order to train and generalize the neural network in case of seismic loads, numerical results of the neural network model were evaluated according to different magnitudes of PGA. As results, it is concluded that the presented neural network model has given a good agreement with the experimental data in details and can be useful to a nonlinear modeling of LRBs within prescribed domains.

Because the attenuation of AE signal in composite materials is relatively higher than that of metallic materials, it is required to develop a damage assessment technique less affected by the attenuation property of composite materials in order to use AE sensing as a damage detection method. In the signal processing procedure, it is profitable to use the leading wave that arrives first because the leading wave is less influenced by the boundary conditions. Using wavelet transform, we investigated the frequency characteristics of impact induced AE signals focused on the leading wave in advance and chose the key factors to discriminate the damaged condition quantitatively. In this research, we established a damage assessment technique using the sharing percentage of the wavelet detail components of AE signal, and conducted a low-velocity impact test on composite laminates to confirm the feasibility of the proposed signal processing method.

In the present study, we investigated the effects or hydrostatic pressure and stacking sequence on the elastic work factor to determine compressive fracture toughness of graphite/epoxy laminated composites in the hydrostatic pressure environment. The stacking sequences used were unidirectional. $\textrm{[}0^{\circ}\textrm{]}_{88}$ and multi-directional, $\textrm{[}0^{\circ}/\pm/45^{\circ}/90^{\circ}\textrm{]}_{11s}$. The hydrostatic pressures applied for a $\textrm{[}0^{\circ}\textrm{]}_{88}$ case were 0.1 MPa, 70MPa, 140MPa. and 200MPa. The hydrostatic pressures applied for a $\textrm{[}0^{\circ}/\pm/45^{\circ}/90^{\circ}\textrm{]}_{11s}$ case were 0.1MPa, 100MPa, 200MPa, and 300MPa. It was found that the elastic work factor was not affected by the hydrostatic pressure and the stacking sequence. Also, it was found that the elastic work factor decreased in a linear fashion with delamination length.

This paper presents the optimum design methodology for composite wing structure which automatically calculates the safety margin using optimization framework integrating failure modes. Particularly, its framework is possible to optimize sizing procedure to prevent failure mode which has the greatest effect on reducing the sizing time of composite structure. The main failure mode was set as the first ply failure, buckling failure mode, and bolted joint stress field, and the margin was calculated to minimize the weight. The design variable is a laminate sequence database and the responses are strain, buckling, bolted joint stress field. The objective function is the mass of the wing structure. The results of buckling analysis were compared using the finite element model to verify the robustness and reliability of Composite Optimizer.

Bending and vibration results for a laminated plate base on a simplified higher-order plate theory with four variables are presented. Assuming a constant in-plane rotation tensor through the thickness in Reddy's higher-order shear deformation theory it is shown that a simpler higher-order theory can be obtained with the reduction of one variable without significant loss in the accuracy. This simple higher-order shear deformation theory is then used for predicting the natural frequencies and deflection of simply-supported laminated composite plates. The results obtained for antisymmetrical laminated composite plates compare favorably with third-order and first-order shear deformation theory. The information presented should be useful to composite-structure designers, to researchers seeking to obtain better correlation between theory and experiment and to numerical analysts in checking out their programs.

전하 트랩형 비휘발성 메모리는 10년 이상의 데이터 보존 능력과 빠른 쓰기/지우기 속도가 요구 된다. 그러나 두 가지 특성은 터널 산화막의 두께에 따라 서로 trade off 관계를 갖는다. 즉, 두 가지 특성을 모두 만족 시키면서 scaling down 하기는 매우 힘들다. 이것의 해결책으로 적층된 유전막을 터널 산화막으로 사용하여 쓰기/지우기 속도와 데이터 보존 특성을 만족하는 Tunnel Barrier engineered Memory (TBM)이 있다. TBM은 가운데 장벽은 높고 기판과 전극쪽의 장벽이 낮은 crested barrier type이 있으며, 이와 반대로 가운데 장벽은 낮고 기판과 전극쪽의 장벽이 높은 VARIOT barrier type이 있다. 일반적으로 유전율과 밴드갭(band gap)의 관계는 유전율이 클수록 밴드갭이 작은 특성을 갖는다. 이러한 관계로 인해 일반적으로 crested type의 터널산화막층은 high-k/low-k/high-k의 물질로 적층되며, VARIOT type은 low-k/high-k/low-k의 물질로 적층된다. 이 형태는 밴드갭이 다른 물질을 적층했을 때 전계에 따라 터널 장벽의 변화가 민감하여 전자의 장벽 투과율이 매우 빠르게 변화하는 특징을 갖는다. 결국 전계에 민감도 향상으로 쓰기/지우기 속도가 향상되며 적층된 유전막의 물리적 두께의 증가로 인해 데이터 보존 특성 또한 향상되는 장점을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 TBM과 다른 형태의 staggered tunnel barrier를 제안한다. staggered tunnel barrier는 heterostructure의 에너지 밴드 구조 중 하나로 밴드 line up은 두 밴드들이 같은 방향으로 shift된 형태이다. 즉, 가전자대 에너지 장벽의 minimum이 한 쪽에 생기면 전도대 에너지 장벽의 maximum은 반대쪽에 생기는 형태를 갖는다. 이러한 밴드구조를 갖는 물질을 터널 산화막층으로 하게 되면 쓰기/지우기 속도를 증가시킬 수 있으며, 데이터 보존 능력 모두 만족할 수 있어 TBM의 터널 산화막으로의 사용이 기대된다. 본 연구에서 제작한 staggered TBM소자의 터널 산화막으로는 Si3N4/HfAlO (3/3 nm)을 사용하여 I-V(current-voltage), Retention, Endurance를 측정하여 메모리 소자로서의 특성을 분석하였으며, 제 1 터널 산화막(Si3N4)의 두께를 wet etching 시간 (0, 10, 20 sec)에 따른 메모리 특성을 비교 분석하였다.
