In order to analyze optical waveguide, the FDTD method can be applied. But structure of optical waveguide is relatively larger than wavelength of center frequency. But optical waveguide system must be periodic structure and the solution of the waveguide can be obtained from a simulation in one period of the structure by applying PBC(Periodic boundary condition). In this paper, an efficient FDTD algorithm incorporating PBC in inhomogeneous medium is introduced and estimated.

The boundary element method was newly implemented into an optical lithography simulator so that it could evaluate rigorously the topological effects of 2dimensional phase-shifting masks. Both transparent and periodic boundary conditions were applied for the method, and the continuity conditions were used for treating interface nodes. The accuracy of the module developed for simulating aerial images was verified by comparison with analytic solutions and published results. In addition, it was found that our simulator would be more efficient than the conventional method based on the rigorous coupled wave analysis in views of the convergence and the calculation speed. Finally, the optimal design of two phase-shifting masks was performed.

Effect of computational domain size in simulating of periodic obstacle flow has been investigated for the flow past tube banks. Reynolds number, defined by freestream velocity (U) and cylinder diameter (d), was fixed as 200, and center-to-center distance (P) as 1.5d. In-line square array was considered. Drag coefficient, lift coefficient and Strouhal number were calculated depending on domain size. Circular cylinders were implemented on a Cartesian grid system by using an immersed boundary method. Boundary condition is periodic in both streamwise and lateral directions. Previous studies in literature often use a square domain with a side length of P, which contains only one cylinder. However, this study reveals that size is improper. Especially, RMS values of flow-induced forces are most sensitive to the domain size.

In this study, simplified linear numerical method that can simulate wave generation and transformation by a moving bottom is introduced. Numerical analysis is conducted in wave number domain after continuity equation, linear dynamic and kinematic free surface boundary conditions and linear kinematic bottom boundary condition are Fourier transformed, and the results are expressed in space domain by an inverse Fourier transform. In the wavenumber domain, the dynamic free water surface boundary condition and the kinematic free water surface boundary condition are numerically calculated, and the velocity potential in the mean water level (z = 0) satisfies the continuity equation and the kinematic bottom boundary condition. Wave generation and transformation are investigated when the triangular and rectangular shape of bottoms move periodically. The results of the simplified numerical method are compared with the results of previous analytical solutions and agree well with them. Stability of numerical results according to the calculation time interval (Δt) and the calculation wave number interval (Δk) was also investigated. It was found that the numerical results were appropriate when Δt ≤ T(period)/1000 and Δk ≤ π/100.

Analysis for structures composed of materials containing regularly spaced in-homogeneities is usually executed by using averaged material properties. In order to evaluate the effective properties, a unit cell is defined and loaded somehow, and its response is investigated. The imposed loading, however, should accord to the status of unit cells immersed in the macroscopic structure to secure the accuracy of the properties. In this study, mathematical description for the periodicity of the displacement field is derived and its direct implementation into FE models of unit cell is attempted. Conventional finite element code needs no modification, and only the boundary of unit cell should be constrained in a way that the periodicity is preserved. The proposed method is applicable to skew arrayed in-homogeneity problems. Homogenized in-plane elastic properties are evaluated for a few representative cases and the accuracy is examined.

Global warming and the depletion of fossil fuels have been caused by decades of reckless development. Wind energy is one form of renewable energy and is considered a future energy source. The wind tower is designed with a fundamental frequency in the soft-stiff design between the 1P and 3P range to avoid resonance. Usually, to perform natural frequency analysis of a wind tower, the boundary condition is set to the Fixed-End, and soil-pile interaction is not considered. In this study, consideration of the effect of soil-pile interaction on the wind tower was included and the difference in the natural frequency was studied. The fixed boundary condition was not affected by the soil condition and depth of the pile and the coupled spring boundary condition was unaffected by the depth of pile but affected by the depth of the pile, and the Winkler spring boundary condition is affected by both the soil condition and the depth of the pile. Therefore, the coupled spring boundary condition should be used in shallow depth soil conditions because the soil condition does not take the shallow depth soil into consideration.

To correctly predict the neutron behavior based on diffusion calculations, it is necessary to adopt well-specified boundary conditions using suitable diffusion approximations to transport boundary conditions. Boundary conditions such as the zero net-current, the Marshak, the Mark, the zero scalar flux, and the Albedo condition have been used extensively in diffusion theory to approximate the reflective and vacuum conditions in transport theory. In this paper, we derive and analyze these conditions to prove their mathematical validity and to understand their physical implications, as well as their relationships with one another. To show the validity of these diffusion boundary conditions, we solve a sample problem. The results show that solutions of the diffusion equation with these well-formulated boundary conditions are very close to the solution of the transport equation with transport boundary conditions.

본 논문에서는 레벨셋 방법을 이용하여, 소음을 차단하기 위한 음향 구조물의 형상 최적 설계를 수행하였다. 음향 결정 구조에서는 음향이 흩어져 있는 결정 구조에 의해서 굴절되기 때문에 결정 모양을 조정함으로써, 음향 거동을 제어 할 수 있다. 형상 최적 설계의 목적은 특정한 각도와 각속도로 입사되는 입사파에 대해서 음향 투과율(acoustic transmittance)이 최소가 되도록 음향 결정의 형상(inclusion shape)을 결정하는 것이다. 음향 압력(acoustic pressure)은 주기성을 갖는 음향 결정에 대해서 헬몰츠(Helmoltz)형태의 지배 방정식을 풀어서 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 음향 구조물로 결정이 수평 방향으로는 주기적으로 무한히 분포하고 수직방향으로는 유한한 층간 구조를 가지고 있는 소음 방어벽 (Noise barrier)을 고려한다. 결정의 위치는 고정되어 있고, 결정의 형상을 설계 변수로서 음파의 거동을 제어할 수 있도록 하였다. 주기적 구조물을 고려하기 때문에 결정의 좌와 우에 Bloch 이론을 적용해 주기적 경계조건을 부과하였고, 소음 방어벽 위와 아래에는 임피던스 행렬(impedance matrix)를 이용하여, 무한 균질 영역과 소음 방어벽사이의 음파 투과를 모사하였다. 복잡한 형상 변화를 표현하기 위해 임시적 경계를 이용한 레벨셋 방법을 사용하였다. 설계 민감도 해석을 통해 목적함수가 감소하는 방향으로 경계에서의 수직 벡터를 계산하고, 이를 헤밀턴-자코비(Hamilton-Jacob) 방정식에 대입하여, 최적의 형상을 나타내는 레벨셋 함수를 구하였다.

Effect of computational domain size in simulating of periodic obstacle flow has been investigated for the flow past tube banks. Reynolds number, defined by freestream velocity ($U_{\infty}$) and cylinder diameter (d), was fixed as 200, and center-to-center distance (P) as 1.5d. In-line square array and staggered square array were considered. Drag coefficient, lift coefficient and Strouhal number were calculated depending on domain size. Circular cylinders were implemented on a Cartesian grid system by using an immersed boundary method. Boundary condition is periodic in both streamwise and lateral directions. Previous studies in literature often use a square domain with a side length of P, which contains only one cylinder. However, this study reveals that the domain size is improper. Especially, RMS values of flow-induced forces are most sensitive to the domain size.

Costs and expenses are intertwined and incurred throughout an entire construction project, even from the pre-construction phase, and each phase has a different impact on the life cycle cost (LCC). However, the cost breakdown structure (CBS) is different in each phase of a building construction project, which makes it hard to reasonably calculate construction cost. For this reason, the boundary conditions were analyzed in this study based on the life cycle cost break structure (LCCBS). In addition, breakdown factors were analyzed based on the boundary conditions to derive a linkage method. The validity of the linkage method was verified through application to actual construction projects. Through the analysis, it was found that the problem of items being left out was reduced by more than 97.2 percent, and the work was done an average of 6 hours faster compared to the conventional method. It is expected that by applying the new LCC system, LCC will be both reduced and calculated in a more efficient manner.
