In this study, we developed an optical-fiber sensor using cobalt chloride solution to monitor temperature in real-time between long distance points unaffected by the electro-magnetic wave and the vibration. Cobalt chloride solutions were made using 10% water and 90% ethanol (v/v) solution. The transmittance of these solutions was analyzed on 655 nm using UV-Visible spectrometer regarding temperature change. Also 30.8 mM cobalt chloride solution was gelled by dissolving polyvinyl butyral and the transmittance of this was analyzed on 655 nm regarding temperature change. The results of transmittance and optical power measurement showed decrease of both transmittance and optical power with increase of temperature from 66.8% and 149.5 nW at $25^{\circ}C$ to 7.1% and 48 nW at $70^{\circ}C$, respectively. These results support the possibility of gelled cobalt chloride/polyvinyl butyral as an optical-fiber sensor to monitor temperature change.

The demand for independent generators using renewable energy has been increasing. Among those independent generators, small wind turbine generators have been actively developed. Permanent magnets are generally used for small wind turbine generators to realize a simple structure and small volume. On the other hand, cogging torque is included due to the structure of the permanent magnet synchronous machine, which can be the source of noise and vibration. The cogging torque can be varied by the shape of the permanent magnet and core, and it can be reduced using the appropriate design techniques. This paper proposes a design technique that can reduce the cogging torque by changing the shape of the permanent magnets for SPMSM (Surface Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor), which is used widely for small wind turbine generators. Evolution Strategy, which is one of non-deterministic optimization techniques, was adopted to find the optimal shape of the permanent magnets that can reduce the cogging torque. The angle and outer diameter of permanent magnet were set as the design variable. A 300W class wind turbine generator, whose pole/slot combination was 8 poles/18 slots, was designed with the proposed design technique. The properties of the generator, including the cogging torque and output voltage, were calculated. The calculation results showed that the cogging torque of the optimized model was reduced compared to that of the initial model. The design technique proposed by this paper can be an effective measure to reduce the cogging torque.

This study was carried out to estimate the effects of density and mixing ratio of mandarin peels on the bending performances of the sawdust-mandarin peels particle boards. The board density influenced significantly to the bending performance of boards. Dynamic modulus of elasticity (dMOE) and static modulus of elasticity (sMOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR) of particle boards decreased with an increase in the mixing ratio of mandarin peels at the board densities of $0.4g/cm^3$ and $0.5g/cm^3$. High correlations were found between the dMOE and sMOE, and dMOE and MOR of particle boards prepared. Therefore, it was concluded that the dMOE obtained by free vibration test using resonance frequency could be used for predicting the sMOE and MOR of sawdust-mandarin peels particle boards.

The rapid economic development induced the massive road constructions, becoming bigger and high-speed of the vehicles. However, it brings lots of social problems, such as air pollutions, traffic noise and vibration. Special concrete block for the base course of asphalt pavement is needed to decrease traffic noise such as tire's explosive and vehicles sound, applying Helmholtz Resonators theory to asphalt pavement. If it is applied to the area where it happens considerable noise such as a junction, the street of a housing complex and a residential street, it is one of considerable method to solve the social requirements of noise problem. This research examines couple of laboratory tests for the sound absorption effect of the concrete block and the base concrete block. There are specimens which is fixed hall-size, space, depth as the condition of this research, and these are analysed of noise decrease effect using different condition of the first noise of each vehicle. As a result of analysis data according to vehicle noise volume, measurement distance, a form and size of the hall using the base concrete block, the use of special concrete base showed a good alternative solution for decreasing traffic noise level, from 4 dB to 9 dB.

Angelica gigas, Astragalus membranaceus and Ligusticum chuanxiong have been grown for a long time in Korea as medicinal crops with underground parts. Its harvesting method has been depended entirely on manual labor. Therefore, harvesting involved much work. This study was to determine an effective mechanized harvesting method for underground parts of some medicinal crops by several machines. Labor time was decreased by 61 percent in Angelica gigas and by 70 percent in Astragalus membranaceus by the use of poclain harvester, however, in Ligusticum chuanxiong was decreased 68 percent by multi - root harvester compared with conventional system (manual harvest). The poclain harvester was suitable for harvesting in Angelica gigas and Astragalus membranaceus plots, but multi - root harvester was not satisfactory. Multi - root harvester appeared to be appropriate harvester for Ligusticum chuanxing.

In order to investigate the origin of an increase in the coercivity with the Ta addition to Co-Cr films, the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of Co-Cr film and CoCrTa film was measured by a torque magnetometer and VSM. In Co-Cr binary alloy film, the uniaxial anisotropy increased with increasing Cr content. The perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of $Co_{81.7}Cr_{16.7}Ta_{1.6}$ film was larger than that of $Co_{81}Cr_{19}$ film, both of which were deposited at the same substrate temperature of $100^{\circ}C$. The change in the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy with annealing was studied to understand the Ta addition effect. The amount of decrease in perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of the CoCrTa film by the annealing was larger than that of Co-Cr film. And the perpendicular magnetic anisotripies of Co-Cr film and CoCrTa film after annealing were almost the same. The cause of this was interpretated as the enhanced segregation of solute atoms in the Ta added thin film in the as-deposited state. The enhanced segregation of solute atoms increases the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of the film, and causes the increase of perpendicular coercivity of the film.

Cu$_{0.1}$Fe$_{0.9}$Cr$_2$S$_4$ has been studied with Mossbauer spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and magnetoresistance (MR) measurement. The crystal structure was determined to be a cubic spinel with lattice parameter a$_{0}$=9.9880 $\AA$. The MR measurements show a semiconductor behavior below 110 K and metal behaved above 100 K. The temperature dependence of magnetization of Cu$_{0.1}$Fe$_{0.9}$Cr$_2$S$_4$ was reported. In addition to a large irreversibility between the zero-field-cooling (ZFC) and the field-cooling (FC) magnetization at applied field H=100 Oe, a cusp-like anomaly was observed in both the FC and ZFC curves. It shifted toward the lower temperature region with increasing magnetic field, and then showed convex type maximum at 110 K, under the applied field of 5 kOe. The Mossbauer spectra were measured from 15 K to room temperature. The asymmetric line broadening was observed for the sample Cu$_{0.1}$Fe$_{0.9}$Cr$_2$S$_4$, and it was considered to be dynamic Jahn-Teller relaxation. The charge state of Fe ions was ferrous in character. The unusual reduction of magnetic hyperfine field below 110 K was interpreted in terms of cancellation effect between the mutually opposite orbital current field (H$_{L}$) and Fermi contact field (H$_{C}$).

The magnetic thin films can be prepared without vacuum process and under the low temperature (<100 $^{\circ}C$) by ferrite plating. We have performed ferrite plating of M $n_{x}$Z $n_{0.22}$F $e_{2.78-x}$ $O_4$(x=0.00~0.08) films and N $i_{x}$Z $n_{0.22}$F $e_{*}$2.78-x/ $O_4$(x=0.00~0.15) films on cover glass at the substrate temperature 90 $^{\circ}C$. The crystal structure of the samples has been identified as a single phase of polycrystal spinel structure by x-ray diffraction technique. The lattice constant in the M $n_{x}$Z $n_{0.22}$F $e_{2.78-x}$ $O_4$films increases but in the N $i_{x}$Z $n_{0.22}$F $e_{*}$2.78-x/ $O_4$films decrease with the composition parameter, x. The saturation magnetization in the M $n_{x}$Z $n_{0.22}$F $e_{2.78-x}$ $O_4$films does not greatly change, in agreement with observations on bulk samples.k samples.k samples.

Composites of $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder and epoxy were prepared using a thermal curing process. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and network analyzer were used to analyze the structure, electromagnetic properties and microwave absorption of the composites. Results show that the saturation magnetization depends on the fraction of the $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder in the composite, which affects initial permeability. It is believed that the eddy current loss is a dominant factor over 1 GHz and that the resonance frequency of the composite decreases with increasing fractions of $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder. Finally, reflection loss was calculated from the permeability and permittivity of these composites. Composite with 50 wt.% $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder fractions and 5 mm thickness showed reflection loss below -20 dB from 3.66 GHz to 4.16 GHz. Therefore, it is believed that thin Fe-Si/epoxy composites may be a good candidate for microwave absorption application.

Numerical simulation of dynamic soil-pile-structure interaction embedded in a dry sand was carried out. 3D model of the dynamic centrifuge model tests was formulated in a time domain to consider nonlinear behavior of soil using the finite difference method program, FLAC3D. As a modeling methodology, Mohr-Coulomb criteria was adopted as soil constitutive model. Soil nonlinearity was considered by adopting the hysteretic damping model, and an interface model which can simulate separation and slip between soil and pile was adopted. Simplified continuum modeling (Kim et al., 2012) was used as boundary condition to reduce analysis time. Calibration process for numerical modeling results and test results was performed through the parametric study. Verification process was then performed by comparing numerical modeling results with another test results. Based on the calibration and validation procedure, it is identified that proposed modeling method can properly simulate dynamic behavior of soil-pile system in dry condition.
