The simplified plate theory is presented for static and free vibration analysis of power-law(P) and sigmoid(S) Functionally Graded Materials(FGM) plates. This theory considers the parabolic distribution of the transverse shear stress, and satisfies the condition that requires the transverse shear stress to be zero on the upper and lower surfaces of the plate, without the shear correction factor. The simplified plate theory uses only four unknown variables and shares strong similarities with classical plate theory(CPT) in many aspects such as stress-resultant expressions, equation of motion and boundary conditions. The material properties of the plate are assumed to vary according to the power-law and sigmoid distributions of the volume fractions of the constituents. The Hamilton's principle is used to derive the equations of motion and Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation model is employed. The results of static and dynamic responses for a simply supported FGM plate are calculated and a comparative analysis is carried out. The results of the comparative analysis with the solutions of references show relevant and accurate results for static and free vibration problems of FGM plates. Analytical solutions for the static and free vibration problems are presented so as to reveal the effects of the power law index, elastic foundation parameter, and side-to-thickness ratio.

The electro-mechanical characteristics were theoretically analyzed for the wideband ultrasonic transducer made of non-uniform thickness piezoelectric vibrator. This paper proposes a combination of exponential functions which describes the thickness variation along the length of the vibrator to derive the input admittance and power transfer function of the transducer. The bandwidth and the power transfer function of the transducer were investigated while the lateral shape of the vibrator changes. The results showed there is an optimum shape for the wideband characteristics of the transducer, and the bandwidth has increased up to over 100% as the ratio of minimum value of thickness to maximum value decreases. However, the power transfer function had a downward trend as the ratio of thickness decreases. Also we confirmed that even though the value of transfer function increases as the length of the piezoelectric vibrator increases, the shape providing wideband characteristics is very limited. It means that precision processing is required to manufacturing a wideband ultrasonic transducer with high efficiency.

This study discusses the feasibility of coffee bean residue as a raw material of medium-density fiberboard (MDF). In this relation, the effect of coffee bean residue known as an absorbent material on the physical and mechanical properties of MDF manufactured at its different addition level. Coffee bean residue which is a by-product of coffee mill and large amount of waste left over after processing for instant coffee was added at the level of 3, 6, and 9% on dry basis and urea formaldehyde resin was used as the adhesive. The MDF made with mixture of wood fiber and coffee bean residue was tested for physical and mechanical properties as well as formaldehyde emission. The bending strength and internal bonding strength of the MDF made with mixture of wood fiber-coffee bean residue were higher than that of the KS standard in randomized mat structure type, but not in layered mat structure type. Also, the physical properties of MDF made with mixture of wood fiber-coffee bean residue showed a considerable improvement in thickness swelling over the commercial MDF. More importantly, the formaldehyde emission rate of MDF made with mixture of wood fiber-coffee bean residue met the KS standard and was close to that of commercial MDF. These results showed the feasibility of coffee bean residue as a raw material for the production of environmentally-friendly MDF. Additional works on adhesive-coffee bean compatibility, improvement of moisture absorption effect and reduction the formaldehyde emission rate by carbonization of coffee bean residue may be required.

본 논문에서는 유한대판법(Finite Strip Method, FSM)을 이용하여 복합재료로 구성된 박판구조물의 좌굴해석을 수행하였다. 유한대판법에서의 변위장은 정현곡선으로 구성된 X방향 성분과 여현곡선의 Y방향 성분으로 구성되어 있는 면내성분, 면외성분으로 횡방향으로 3차 다항식과 보 진동함수를 사용하여 구성되었다. 각 적층판의 강성을 두께방향으로 적분하여 전체 강성을 구하고 최소 포텐셜 에너지 이론을 사용하여 구한 평형방정식에 대입하여 전체 강성행렬을 구하였다. 자유도의 감소로 인한 해석시간의 단축, 입력자료 작성 및 출력이 쉬운 점들이 유한대판법을 이용한 좌굴해석의 장점이다.

The cold rolled strip meets continuously rising demands on the less deviation of thickness at the width direction of their rolled products. Especially, the special interest has been to find the methods to reduce the edge drop which influences seriously on the yield losses and the quality of the rolled products. In this study, the influence of hot coils on the thickness profile of cold rolled strip was analyzed. For obtainint the tapered work roll shig\ft conditions, the thermal crown and the flattening between the work roll and the strip were calculated, and the main parameters which have mostly effects on the edge drop were simulated. Also the obtained conditions from the simulation were applied to Tandem Cold Rolling Mill to investigate the change of the edge drop and the crown ratio depending on the amount of work roll taper and the length of contact of taper. The results of the application led to better thickness profile than conventional one.

This paper presents a numerical simulation of guided ultrasonic waves propagating in aluminum-epoxy-aluminum adhesive plates. In particular, this study investigated the effect of the epoxy thickness on the dispersive patterns, such as the phase velocity and group velocity of guided ultrasonic waves. In addition to investigating the dispersive curves, a numerical simulation using the pulse-echo method was carried out. This simulation showed that the degree of sensitivity of the epoxy thickness is dependent on the curvature of the phase and group dispersion curves, the maximum amplitude of the received time signals, and the peak frequency of the real components of the Fourier transform. Then, the linear relations between the epoxy thickness and the received and transformed signals were constructed to estimate the epoxy thickness.

본 논문에서는 skeleton slot 복사기를 이용하여 GSM 900과 GSM 1800에서 사용할 수 있는 이중대역 안테나를 설계 및 제작하여 측정 결과를 비교 분서하였다. 기본적인 skeleton slot 구조에서는 낮은 밴드의 2배 이상의 주파수에서는 수평 빔폭이 일정치 않고, 정재파비 특성이 불량하였으나, 급전부와 측면 방사부분의 다중경로 형성 및 절곡 구조를 이용하여 이를 해결하였다. 안테나의 크기는 반사판이 190$\times$190(mm), 복사기는 154$\times$106(mm), 높이는 33mm로 하여 현재 서비스 사업자틀이 주로 사용하는 크기로 구성하였다. 구성 재질은 1mm 두께의 알류미늄판을 이용하며, 이를 NCT로 타공 및 절곡하여 제작하였기 때문에 대량 생산 시 단가를 낮출수 있다. 실측결과 900MHz 대역에서 13.7%, 1800MHz 대역에서 16.4%의 -l0dB 반사손실 대역폭을 만족하고, 방사패턴도 대역별로 $\pm$1$^{\circ}$이내의 일정한 양상을 보여 이중대역 안테나로서의 요구를 만족하였다.

A general method is proposed for stiffness analysis of the leaf springs only using the geometric data and Young's modulus of the leaf springs. In this method, an engineering beam theory and Castigliano's theory are applied for the derivation of the stiffness of the leaf springs. To show realiability and effectiveness of this method, the stiffness from the proposed method is compared with the results for various types of leaf springs. From these comparisons the proposed method has been proved to be effective and reliable to estimate the stiffness of the leaf springs.

고밀도 에너지를 열원으로 이용하는 고출력 레이저로는 CO$_{2}$레이저와 Nd;YAG 레이저가 있다. 레이저는 열가공임에도 불구하고 빔의 스폿경을 작게하여 높은 에너지 밀도($10^{6}$ W/cm$_{2}$ 이상)을 얻을 수 있으므로 열영향이 작고 작은 변형범위내에서 용접을 할 수 있고 입력 에너지의 제어성이 좋아서 미세한 용접이 가능하게 하고, 빔폭 대비 용입깊이가 커서 깊은 용접 비드가 형성되며, 자동화가 용이하다는 장점이 있다. 특히 Nd;YAG 레이저의 경우는 광 섬유를 이용하므로서 에너 지의 시간 분할 및 에너지 분할을 할 수 있는 등 분기 및 배치가 용이하며 펄스의 활 용을 극대화 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나, 결점으로도 맞대기 용접의 경우 갭의 여유가 판두께, 초점위치, 빔모드에 따라 변화하는데 이는 빔 스폿이 작음에 따른 장점이 단점으로 작용하는 경우이다. 레이저 용접부의 비드 폭이 좁기 때문에 인장 강도가 모재의 인장강도보다 밑도는 것도 겹쳐서 용접된 이음 부분의 인장강도에 있 어서 단점이 되고 있다.
