A simple numerical modelling technique is proposed for estimating the shear lag effects of framed-tube system with multiple internal tubes. The tube(s)-in-tube structure is analysed by using an analogy approach in which each tube is individually modelled by a beam that can accounts for the flexural and shear deformations, as well as the shear lag effects. The numerical analysis is based on the minimum potential energy principle in conjunction with the variational approach. The shear lag phenomenon of such structures is studied with additional bending stresses. Structural parameters governing the shear lag behaviour in tube(s)-in-tube structures are also investigated through thirty-three numerical examples.

An improved formulation of thin-wailed curved beams with variable curvatures based on displacement field considering the second order terms of finite semitangential rotations is presented. From linearized virtual work principle by Vlasov's assumptions, the total potential energy is derived and all displacement parameters and the warping functions are defined at cendtroid axis. In developing the thin-walled curved beam element having eight degrees of freedom per a node, the cubic Hermitian polynomials are used as shape functions. In order to verify the accuracy and practical usefulness of this study, free vibrations and buckling analyses of parabolic and elliptic arche shapes with mono-symmetric sections are carried out and compared with the results analyzed by ABAQUS' shell element.

By using Monte Carlo simulation method we developed a new molecular simulation software which can be used to predict the thermodynamic properties of organic compounds. Starting from molecular structure and intermolecular potential function, rigorous statistical mechanical principles give a probability distribution for the behavior of a system containing many molecules, which enables us to calculate macroscopic thermodynamic properties of the system. The software developed in this work, cheMC, is based on Windows platform providing with easy access. One can efficiently administrate simulations by using an intuitive interface equipped with visualization tool and chart generation. It is expected that molecular simulations supplement the equation of state approach and will play a more important role in the study of thermodynamic properties.

Sloshing frequencies of the fluid in rectangular tanks with a bottom-mounted rectangular block are determined by linear water wave theory. Velocity potential is decomposed into those for the wall-induced waves, and the reflected, transmitted, and scattered waves by the block. The reflection and transmission coefficients are determined using the continuity conditions of mass flux and energy flux on the common vertical boundaries of the fluid regions, and the boundary conditions on the both sides of the block. The analysis results indicate that the sloshing frequencies reduce, as the block becomes tall and vade and as the block moves toward the center. The variations of the sloshing frequencies due to the block are found to be more sensitive in broad thanks than is tall tanks.

Recently, as MEMS and NEMS devices have been widely used in the various engineering applications, the characteristics of nanoscale systems are investigated in the limelight. However, as opposed to a macroscale system, the identification of the state of nanoscale systems is extremely hard because they can include only the order of $10^3{\sim}10^5$ molecules, which requires highly expensive and accurate experimental apparatus for an investigation. This limitations make the study on nanoscale system use computer simulations. Therefore, it is strongly required to identify the state of nanoscale system simulated in computer simulation. In this molecular dynamics(MD) study, we suggest that the potential energy of individual molecule can be used as criterion for defining the state of clusters or nanoscale systems. In addition, we compared the phase state from the potential energy with one from the radial distribution function(RDF) for verification. The comparison showed that the intermolecular potential energy can be used as a criteria distinguishing the phase state of nanoscale systems.

A finite element analysis for near-net-shape forming of A16061 powder was performed under warm rubber isostatic pressing and warm die pressing. The advantages of warm compaction by rubber isostatic pressing were discussed to obtain a part with better density distributions. The shape of rubber mold was designed by determining a cavity shape that provides a desired shape of the final powder compact. To simulate densification and deformed shape of a powder compact during pressing, the elastoplastic constitutive equation based on yield function of Shima-Oyane was implemented into a finite element program(ABAQUS). The hyperelastic constitutive equation based on the Ogden strain energy Potential was employed to analyze nonlinear elastic response of rubber. Finite element results were compared with experimental data for Al6061 powder compacts under warm die pressing and warm isostatic pressing.

This paper is concerned with the design and implementation of magnetic damper system to reduce the vibration of suspension system actively. Cylindrical type electro-magnetic actuator with permanent magnet is analyzed and effective controller design is made. Magnetic force analyzed and transfer function for the total system is determined by experimental data using error minimization method.

1T-1C로 구성되는 기존의 DRAM(Dynamic Random Access Memory)은 데이터를 저장하기 위한 적절한 capacitance를 확보해야 한다. 따라서 캐패시터 면적으로 인한 집적도에 한계에 직면해있다. 따라서 이를 대체하기 위한 새로운 DRAM인 1T (Transistor) DRAM이 각광받고 있다. 기존의 DRAM과 달리 SOI (Silicon On Insulator)기술을 이용한 1T-DRAM은 데이터 저장을 위한 캐패시터가 필요없다. Impact Ionization 또는 GIDL을 이용해 발생한 정공을 채널영역에 가둠으로 서 발생하는 포텐셜 변화를 이용한다. 이로서 드레인 전류가 변화하며, 이를 이용해 '0'과 '1'을 구분한다. 기존의 1T-DRAM은 단결정 실리콘을 이용하여 개발되었으나 좀더 광범위한 디바이스로의 적용을 위해서는 다결정 실리콘 박막의 형태로 제작이 필수적이다. 단결정 실리콘을 이용할 경우 3차원 집적이나 기판재료선택에 제한적이지만 다결정 실리콘을 이용할 경우, 기판결정이 자유로우며 실리콘 박막이나 매몰 산화층의 형성 및 두께 조절이 용이하다. 때문에 3차원 적층에 유리하여 다결정 실리콘 박막 형태의 1T-DRAM 제작이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 이번연구에서는 엑시머 레이저 어닐링 및 고상결정화 방법을 이용하여 결정화 시킨 다결정 실리콘을 이용하여 1T-DRAM을 제작하였으며 메모리 특성을 확인하였다. 기판은 상부실리콘 100 nm, buried oxide 200 nm로 구성된 SOI구조의 기판을 사용하였다. 엑시머 레이저 어닐링의 경우 400 mJ/cm2의 에너지를 가지는 KrF 248 nm 엑시머 레이저 이용하여 결정화시켰으며, 고상결정화 방법은 $400^{\circ}C$ 질소 분위기에서 24시간 열처리하여 결정화 시켰다. 두가지 결정화 방법을 사용하여 제작되어진 박막트랜지스터 1T-DRAM 모두 kink 현상을 확인할 수 있었으며 메모리 특성 역시 확인할 수 있었다.

Si 또는 반도체 화합물을 기반으로 한 태양전지의 높은 원재료 가격과 복잡한 공정 등의 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 방안으로 반도체성 고분자인 Poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT)과 C60 유도체인 PCBM을 광활성 층으로 이용하여 유기 태양전지(Organic Solar Cell, OSC)를 제작하였다. 하지만 상대적으로 낮은 효율을 갖는 OSC의 단점을 해결하기 위해서 유기물 자체가 갖고 있는 광 안정성, 낮은 전하 이동도 및 광 에너지 흡수대 등의 문제점들의 해결 방안들이 제시되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 광활성 층을 사용한 유기 태양전지의 특성에서 후열처리에 따른 유기 태양전지의 전기적 및 구조적, 광학적인 특성들이 소자의 효율에 끼치는 영향에 대해 분석하였다. 후열 처리 온도에 따른 광활성 층의 구조적인 특성을 분석하기 위해 EFM 이미지와 XRD패턴을 측정하였는데 열처리 후 박막의 전기적인 포텐셜과 결정성 향상의 유기 태양전지의 효율향상에 기여함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 임피던스 분석 장치를 이용해 후열 처리에 따른 소자의 Resistance, Capacitance, I-V 곡선들을 분석한 결과 최적의 조건에서 열처리된 광활성 층은 전하들의 이동을 조절하여 소자 내에서 Capacitance를 증가시키는 것 뿐만 아니라 전극과 유기물 층 사이의 계면 특성을 향상시킴으로써, 소자의 효율을 증가시키는 원인으로 작용함을 확인 하였다.

Steam jets ejected from a rupture zone of high energy pipes may cause damage to adjacent structures. This event could lead to more serious accidents in nuclear power plants. Therefore, to prevent serious accidents, high energy pipes of nuclear power plants are designed according to the ANSI / ANS 58.2 technical standard. However, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) has recently pointed out non-conservatism in existing high energy pipe fracture evaluation methods, and required the assessment of the unsteady load of the jet caused by a potential feedback mechanism as well as the impact range of steam jet, the jet impact loads and the blast wave effects at the initial breakage stage. The potential feedback mechanism refers to a phenomenon in which a vortex formed by impingement jets amplifies vortex itself and induces jet vibration in a shear layer. In this study, CFD methodology using the LES turbulence model is established and numerical analysis is carried out to evaluate the dynamic behavior of impingement jets and the potential feedback mechanism during jet impingement. Obtained results have been compared with an empirical correlation and experiment.
