The stress and displacement fields of a permeable propagating crack in orthotropic piezoelectric materials under anti-plane shear mechanical load and in-plane electric load are analyzed. The equations of motion for the propagating crack in piezoelectric materials are developed and the solution on the stress and the displacement fields through an asymptotic analysis was obtained. The influences of the piezoelectric constant and of the dielectric permittivity on the stress and displacement fields at the crack tip are explicitly clarified. Using the stress and displacement fields obtained in this study, the characteristics of stress and displacement at a propagating crack tip in piezoelectric materials are discussed.

The acoustic characteristics of expansion chamber will be changed with the variation of inlet/outlet location due to the higher order acoustic mode in a high frequency in which the plane wave theory is not available. In this paper, the acoustic performance of reactive type expansion chamber with circular cross-section is analyzed by using the modified mode matching theory. The sensitivity analysis of four-pole parameters with respect to the location of inlet and outlet is also suggested to increase the acoustic performance. The acoustic power transmission coefficient is used as cost function, and the location of inlet and outlet is used as design variables. The steepest descent method and SUMT algorithm are used for optimization technique. Several results showed that the expansion chamber with optimally located inlet/outlet had better acoustic performance than concentric expansion chamber.

This paper reports a methodology and application lot calculating distribution of the director in a liquid crystal cell by a numerical technique. To calculate distribution of the director, we applied a three dimensional finite element method (FEM) and calculated the distributions of electric potential and director in the liquid crystal cell. We have considered the free-energy density in the bulk of liquid crystal cell and calculated the switching property by the Ericksen-Leslie equation and the Laplace equation. We have calculated the optical transmission with distribution of the director by Berreman's method and confirmed the threshold voltage and the response time.

수중에서 물과 공기 다공을 갖는 다공성 매질의 주파수 및 다공율 변화에 따른 음향특성을 고찰하였다. 다공성 매질로서 원통형 다공을 인위적으로 균일하게 배열한 판형 루사이트 (Lucite)를 사용하였다. 수중에서 음파를 다공성 매질의 원통형 다공의 축 방향과 평행하게 입사하였을 때, 빠른 파 (fast wave)는 다공 내의 매질에 영향을 받지 않으나, 느린 파 (slow wave) 및 원통형 다공을 전파하는 비평면 고차 정상 모드 파 (nonplanar higher normal mode wave)는 다공 내의 매질에 크게 영향을 받는다. 3MHz부터 4MHz까지의 주파수 영역에서 전체 파 (total wave), 빠른 파 및 느린 파의 음속 및 음압투과계수를 주파수 및 물과 공기 다공율 변화에 따라 측정하였다. 비강체 다공성 매질에서의 음파 전파특성에 대한 MBA (modified Biot-Attenborough) 모델의 이론 결과와 실험결과를 비교, 분석하였다.

The possibility of replacing the condensing-prism film used in conventional backlight units with a light-guide plate engraved with a submicrometer-periodic diffraction grating was investigated. The optimal period for the diffraction grating was determined through simulation and experiment, and the transmission-mode efficiency of the diffraction grating was calculated in terms of the polar angle and azimuthal angle of the incident light. In addition, the effects of the two methods of optimizing the polar angle and the directional angle were compared by simulation, by suggesting the shape and configuration of the light-guide plate, so that more light could be extracted by diffraction. By using a ray-tracing program, the luminance angular distribution of the light-guide plate engraved with the diffraction grating was calculated and compared to the luminance angular distribution for each actual prototype.

A metal capillary splice fiber-optic sensor was fabricated for use as an intensity-based macro-bending sensor. As the radius of curvature due to the macro-bending decreases, the angular misalignment of the fiber ends inside the metal capillary increases, i.e., the coupling efficiency of the fiber splice is reduced. Thus, macro-bending can be detected by the measurement of the reduction of transmitted power. The detectable range of macro-bending. was measured approximately from 20 mm to 85 mm. The center wavelengths of the fiber Bragg gratings are 1543.3 nm and 1549.5 nm, respectively. The maximum bending loss of this sensor was measured about -11.92 dB. Using this metal capillary spliced fiber sensor and fiber Bragg gratings, macro-bending detection has been demonstrated, and it is shown to have potential for multi-point macro-bending sensors. nsors.

In this study, we proposed a novel electrode structure for the fringe field switching (FFS) mode LCD and performed a three-dimensional computer simulation to calculate the optical transmittance for the new structure. In the simulation Erickson-leslie equation and Berreman $4{\times}4$ matrix were used for obtaining the director distribution profiles of liquid crystal molecules and the electro-optical characteristics, respectively. Considering the complexity of the motional equation of the liquid crystal molecules, FDM (finite difference method) was used as a numerical method. From the results, We revealed that the light transmission of the newly designed pixel structure is expended to the edge of the pixel electrode. We also confirmed that the light transmittance increased more than 13% compared to that of the conventional electrode structure.

In this paper, E-polarized electromagnetic scattering by a conducting strip grating with 2 dielectric layers is analyzed to calculate the geometrical reflected and transmitted power by applying the Fourier-Galerkin moment mothed. The induced current density is expanded in a Fourier series using a simple exponential func- tion, and we applied the boundary conditions to the electromagnetic fields at the boundary planes. The sca- ttered electromagnetic fields are expanded in a series of Floquet mode functions. To examine the accuracy of the present method, the geometrically reflected and transmitted power are evaluated and compared with those of the existing papers, and then the numerical results are found in good agreement with those of the existing paper.

We have studied the transmittance of fringe-filed switching(FFS) using a liquid crystal with positive dielectric anisotropy. Generally, FFS having positive dielectric anisotropy has less transmittance than FFS using negative dielectric anisotropy. FFS mode transmittance depends on horizontal director deformation, however fringe filed is composed of vertical and horizontal field. Vertical field in the middle of electrode suppresses the transmittance of FFS mode, especially when we use positive one. So, it is important to prevent the LC director from the effect of vertical field. We changed the splay elastic constant and checked the transmittance. The transmittance of FFS having positive dielectric anisotropy was improved. Less tilted LC directors improve the transmittance of FFS using positive dielectric anisotropy. We can improve the transmittance by using LC which have high splay elastic constant when another LC properties are equal.

A single-gap and single-gamma transflective liquid-crystal (LC) display using patterned vertical alignment (PVA) mode was designed. In the device, a vertical electric field drives a vertically aligned LC to tilt down to optimize polarization efficiency. Electrodes of transmissive and reflective area were patterned $22.5^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ with respect to the polarizer so that a tilt-down direction of the LC director was $22.5^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ in the reflective and transmissive regions, respectively. In the device, the cell gap was the same for both regions, and the gamma curve matched each other in both regions because tilt angle of LC director was the same according to the applied voltage. Moreover, the dark state was irrespective of the cell retardation value at normal direction, which was highly important in massive fabrications. The switching principle and electro-optic characteristics of the device are reported herein.
