The mathematical modeling on the free vibration and stability of a multi-stepped shaft of turbo compressor is performed in this study. The multi-stepped shaft is modeled as a non-uniform Timoshenko beam supported by anisotropic bearings. It is assumed that the shaft is spinning with constant speed about its longitudinal axis and subjected to a conservative axial force induced by front and rear impellers attached to the shaft. The structural model incorporates non-classical features such as transverse shear and rotary inertia. A structural coupling between vertical and lateral motions is induced by Coriolis acceleration terms. The governing equations are derived via Hamilton's variational principle and the equations are transformed to the standard form of an eigenvalue problem. The implications of combined gyroscopic effect, conservative axial force, bearing stiffness and damping are revealed and a number of pertinent conclusions are outlined. In this study analytical results are compared with those from ANSYS finite element analysis and experimental modal testing.

The aim of this paper is to present the modulus of elasticity of $E_L$, $E_R$, $E_T$ along three principal axis of softwood dimension lumber by nondestructive method. Ultrasonic measurement was carried out on defect free wood samples taken by the Japanese Larch, SPF (spruce-pine-fir) and Hem-fir $2{\times}4s$. The ultrasound velocities were measured to calculate young's moduli and it was derived elastic constants for each wood samples using the ultrasound velocities and densities of wood. From the test, $E_L$ was much greater than $E_R$ and $E_T$. $E_R/E_T$ ratios were about 1.3. The high density wood had high young's moduli in three principal axis and the difference in young's moduli between species was greater in transverse direction than longitudinal direction. The anisotropy of the lumber was presented through the calculated elastic moduli and compliances matrix in diagonal term were determined by inverting the stiffness matrix.

We fabricated ZnO thin film successfully by using RF magnetron sputtering and investigated its potential for being utilized as the key material of piezoelectric device with the characterization of ZnO thin film such as such as crystallinity, surface morphology, c-axis orientation, film density. In thin study, $Ar/O_2$ gas ratio is fixed 70/30, RF power 125W, working pressure 8mTorr, distance between substrate and target 70mm, but the substrate temperature is varied from room temperature to $400^{\circ}C$. The relative intensity ($I_{(002)}/I_{(100)}$) or (002) peak in ZnO thin film deposited at $300^{\circ}$ was exhibited as 94%, then its FWHM was $0.571^{\circ}C$. Also, from the surface morphology evaluated by SEM and AFM, the film deposited at $300^{\circ}C$ showed uniform particle shape and excellent surface roughness of 4.08 m. The tendency of ZnO thin film density was exhibited to be denser with increasing substrate temperature but slightly decreased at near $400^{\circ}C$.

The 3wt.% Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films were fabricated on Coming 1737 substrates at a fixed oxygen pressure of 200 mTorr with various substrate temperatures ($100\;{\sim}\;250^{\circ}C$) by using pulsed laser deposition in order to investigate the microstructure, optical, and electrical properties of AZO thin films. All thin films were shown to be c-axis oriented, exhibiting only a (002) diffraction peak. The AZO thin film, fabricated at 200 mTorr and $250^{\circ}C$, showed the highest (002) orientation and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the (002) diffraction peak was $0.44^{\circ}$. The optical transmittance in the visible region was higher than 85 %. The Burstein-Moss effect, which shifts to a high photon energy, was observed. The electrical property indicated that the highest carrier concentration ($3.48{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$) and the lowest resistivity ($1.65{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}cm$) were obtained in the AZO thin film fabricated at 200 mTorr and $250^{\circ}C$.

In this study, the electrical and optical properties of GZO (Ga-doped ZnO) thin films prepared on PES substrates by RF magnetron sputtering method with various working pressures (5 to 20 mTorr) were investigated. All GZO thin films exhibited c-axis preferential growth regardless of working pressure, the GZO thin film deposited at 5 mTorr showed the most excellent crystallinity having 0.44˚ of FWHM. In AFM observations, surface roughness exhibited the lowest value of 0.20 nm in a thin film produced by the working pressure 5 mTorr. Figure of merits of GZO thin film deposited at 5 mTorr showed the highest value of 6652, in this case resistivity and average transmittance in the visible light region were 6.93×10^-4Ω-cm and 81.4%, respectively. We could observed the Burstein-Moss effect that carrier concentration decrease with the increase of working pressure and thus the energy band gap is narrowed.

Cross section design of a prop-blade is carried out for VTOL(Vertical Takeoff and Landing) Quad Tilt Prop-rotor UAV with a maximum takeoff weight of 55 kg and a maximum cruising speed of 180 km/h. Design procedure for cross section design is established and design requirements for prop-blade are identified. Through the procedure, cross section design is carried out to meet the identified requirements. Main design factors including stiffness, weight per unit length, and elastic axis are obtained by using a finite element section analysis program, and the design weight of the prop-blade is predicted. The obtained design factors are used along with the rotor system analysis program CAMRAD II to evaluate the dynamic stability of prop-blade in operating environment. In addition, the prop-blade load is obtained by CAMRAD II software, and it is used to verify the safety of the prop-blade structure. If the design results are not satisfactory, design changes are made in an iterative manner until the results satisfy the design requirements.

A method to optimize the cost of R/C frames and an algorithm of the optimal limit state design for R/C frames subjected to dynamic loads are presented. The modal superposition method was used to find the dynamic responses of the frames. Each member of R/C frame is made up of more than two elements and the stiffness matrix and consistent mass matrix of three d.o.f in the node of each element was used to include axial, shear and flexural effects. The objective function to be minimized formulated the cost of materials, steel and concrete, and optimised to satisfy the behaviors of R/C frame and each constraint imposed by the limit state requirements. Both objective function and each constraint are derived in terms of design variables which include the effective depth, beam width, compression and tension steel area, and column shear steel area. A few applications are presented which demonstrate the feasibility, the validity and efficiency of the algorithm for automated optimum design of R/C frames where dynamic behavior is to be considered.

It is reported that an intermittently rotating chamber system will improve the ratio of firepower to armament space in the case of mid-calibre automatic guns. However, the parallel index, which is a main component of the system, tends to be torsionally flexible due to the low lateral stiffness of cam followers on the index turret. This may cause the shaft system connecting the turret with the chamber prone to considerable residual torsional vibration so that serious misalignment problems occur during ammunition loading and firing processes. Herein, an electrorhelogical (ER) fluid actuator that can suppress such vibrations and the associated semiactive control algorithm are proposed. By mathematical modeling and computer simulations, the performance of the entire system is proved satisfactory.

In order to quantify the relationships of the important physical factors relating failure to strong earthquake loading, the plastic fatigue problems for structural components under repeated loading were reviewed first. A new concept of very low cycle fatigue failure for structural components under severe cyclic excitations as in strong earthquakes was represented. Also, an experimental study was made of the very low cycle fatigue failure of structural steel elements. It was attempted to realize the ultimate failure in the course of loading repetitions of the order of several to twenty. The test specimen had a form of rectangular plate, representing a thin-plated element in a steel member as wide-flange cross section. It was subjected to uniaxial loading repeatedly, until complete failure takes place after undergoing inelastic buckling, plastic elongation and/or their combination. It was seen as a result that the state of the ultimate failure is closely related to the maximum strain at the extreme fiber in the cross section.

Structural tests were performed to investigate the structural performance of concrete-filled steel tube column using different strength steels in their flange and web with high-strength steel HSA800 and mild steel SM490, respectively. The test parameters included the strength of column flange and infill concrete, and effect of concrete infill. Connection between different grade steels were welded using the electrode appropriate for mild steel and verified its performance. To evaluate the behavior of test specimens, eccentric loading tests were performed and the results were compared with the prediction by current design codes. Axial load and moment carrying capacity of test specimens increased with the yield strength of compression flange and weld fracture occurred after the specimen shows full strength. The prediction result for axial load-bending moment relationship and effective flexural stiffness gave good agreement with the test result.
