This study presents algorithms for determining the fuzzy critical loads of planar steel frame structures with fixity factors of beam - column and column - base connections are modeled as triangular fuzzy numbers. The finite element method with linear elastic semi-rigid connection and Response Surface Method (RSM) in mathematical statistic are applied for problems with symmetric triangular fuzzy numbers. The ${\alpha}$ - level optimization using the Differential Evolution (DE) involving integrated finite element modeling is proposed to apply for problems with any triangular fuzzy numbers. The advantage of the proposed methodologies is demonstrated through some example problems relating to for the twenty - story, four - bay planar steel frames.

This paper describes the effect of molding pressure, specimen geometries for Mixed Mode I/II interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon fiber reinforced plastic composites by using asymmetrical double cantilever beam(ADCB) specimen. The value of $G_{I/IIC}$ as a function of various molding pressure is almost same at 307, 431, 585 kPa. However it shows the highest value under 307 kPa molding pressure. The effect of $G_{I/IIC}$ due to the change of initial crack length of ADCB specimen was almost negligible in this study. It turns out that the condition for mix mode quasi-static crack growth in ADCB specimen is the ratio of the crack length to that of the specimen, i.e., ${\alpha}/L<0.4$.

This paper describes a practical formulation of Non-Bernoulli-Compatibility Truss Model. Not only equilibrium conditions but also some approximations are employed to solve for the unknowns included in the proposed model. By assuming that the ratio of $V_a$ to V remains to be constant along the shear span, the relationship between $\alpha$ and z is mathematically established as an arch shape function. $V_m$ is also approximated to be an empirical value that is equal to the least membrane shear strength. The coefficient a is made utilizing a nonlinear finite element analysis. The adequacy of the model is examined by test results available in literatures, and the predicted values are shown to be in excellent agreement with the experimental results.

External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) causes anxiety and claustrophobia in pediatric patients. To provide exact figures and radiation amounts, an appropriate sedation or anesthesia can be supplied. Alpha 2 agonist dexmedetomidine has been used for sedation and anesthesia in pediatric imaging. Dexmedetomidine has an advantage because it has minimal respiratory depression and no direct effects on myocardial function. We report repeated sedation with dexmedetomidine for 33 consecutive radiation therapies in 5 years old children.

The number of neutron signals from a neutral particle beam(NPB) at the detector, without any errors, obeys Poisson distribution, Under two assumptions that NPB scattering distribution and aiming errors have a circular Gaussian distribution respectively, an exact probability distribution of signals becomes a Poisson-power function distribution. In this paper, we show that the error rate in simple hypothesis testing for the limiting Poisson-power function distribution is not zero. That is, the limit of ${\alpha}+{\beta}$ is zero when Poisson parameter$\kappa\rightarro\infty$, but this limit is not zero (i.e., $\rho\ell$>0)for the Poisson-power function distribution. We also give optimal decision algorithms for a specified error rate.

두 층으로 이루어진 박막에서 이온선 혼합에 의해 형성되는 결정상 및 비정질상을 예측할 수 있는 새로운 모델을 제시하였다. 기존의 예측 모델과는 달리, 이온선 혼합 공정에서의 확산메카니즘에 영향을 미치는 변수로서 각 원소의 응집에너지와 침입형자리 크기 그리고, 이온반경을 이용하였다. 비정질상 형상 여부를 결정하는 인자로서 ADF(amorphization determinating factor)를 새로 정의하여 다음과 같이 모델식을 세웠다. 즉, ADF=C1(RB-rA)＋C2(Ecoh, max/Ecoh, min)＋$\alpha$이다. ADF가 양의 갓을 갖는 계는 이온선 혼합에 의해 비정질상이 형성되며 ADF가 음의 값을 갖는 계는 비정질상이 형성되지 않는다. 70여 가지의 금속/금속 및 금속/실리콘계에 대한 실험결과로부터 본 모델을 검증하였으며 아직까지 실험결과가 부족한 몇 가지 금속/실리콘계에 대해서 본 모델을 이용하여 비정질상 형성 여부를 예측하였다.

An understanding of the natural frequencies of a beam is virtually a prerequisite to the understanding of its response in forced vibration due to shock, ground acceleration or moving loads. Contrary to the frequencies of the prismatic bars with arbitrary boundary conditions, those of a tapered bar are hard to determine when one employs convevtional neutral equilibrium or energy method. In this paper, finite element method is adopted to determine the fundamental frequencies of the non-symmetrically tapered bars. The bars assume the shapes of straight lines along the axis. The parameters considered in this study are sectional parameter, m,n and taper parameter, $\alpha$ For the structural engineer's convenience, the results by finite element method are expressed by simple algebraic equations, by which first mode frequencies are easily estimated. And they agree fairy well with those by F.E.M in most cases.

Collective Thomson scattering (CTS) system is being developed in KAERI based on high power gyrotrons. CTS is a promising diagnostic method to measure fast ion distributions and potentially the fusion product alpha particles in magnetically confined plasmas. By utilizing millimeter-waves from high power gyrotrons as a probing beam, spatially and temporally resolved 1-D ion velocity distributions can be obtained from the scattered radiation with less scattering geometrical constraints. The pulse modulation of gyrotrons enables to separate scattering signal from ECE background noises. The feasibility was assessed with the calculation of spectral density functions under the condition of KSTAR plasmas. Further CTS system requirements are also discussed.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate shear strengthening effects of R/C beams with carbon fiber sheets. The major variables are shear reinforcement ratios, CFS strengthening ratios and strengthening methods of CFS. Following conclusions can be extracted. The shear capacity of beam strengthened with CFS is about 32~87% higher than that of beams without shear reinforcement. The strengthening effects of patch type is larger than those of strip type. The strain distribution in CFS intersected with shear crack is similar to that in stirrup and larger strain is observed in the middle of the shear span. It can be estimated that shear strength reduction factor ${\alpha}$=0.3 is appropriate for peeling effect of CFS.

Hydrodynamic moments produced by the rolling oscillation on the free surface and the associated swaying force were exactly calculated by Ursell-Tasai method for the cylinders with Kim's chine form sections($a_1,\;a_7$). The coefficient of the added moment of inertia $K_{\varphi^{\tau}}$, the progressive wave height ratio $\bar{A}$, the coefficient of swaying forces $K_{RS}$, ${\alpha}_{RS}$ of rolling oscillations are shown in the several figures. The results of the computation were compared with those of lewis form sections. It is concluded that the effect of the section form on the added moment of inertia is significant for the cylinder with the section of same beam-draft ratio and sectional area coefficient, on the other hand, a little effect appears on the wave damping.
