등간격 안테나 소자들로 구성된 모노펄스 추적용 선형 배열 안테나의 합 및 차 패턴 합성 문제에서 원하는 패턴을 만족시키도록 하는 개별 안테나 급전 여기 전류의 상대적인 가중치들을 도출하는 효율적인 수치적 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 패턴 배열 인자를 표현하는 Schelkunoff 다항식에 내재된 패턴 null 점들의 최적 섭동에 기본을 둔다. 따라서 여기 전류 가중치들을 직접 최적화하는 기존의 방식과는 달리, 이 방법은 null 점 제어에 의해 원하는 개별 sidelobe 레벨(SLL)들을 갖는 패턴과 해당 여기 전류 가중치들을 쉽게 합성할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 또한, 최적화 과정에서 null 점 초기값에 따라 두 가지 형태의 차 패턴들을 합성할 수 있음을 보인다. 임의의 SLL들을 갖는 패턴들을 합성하고, 도출된 결과들을 배열 인자 식에 대입함으로써 제안한 방법의 타당성을 수치적으로 검증한다.

이 논문에서는 포스트텐션 구조물에 적용되는 그라우팅 품질확보를 위한 재료개선 및 실험과정을 기술하였다. 그라우팅이란 강연선이 삽입된 덕트를 시멘트물질로 채우는 공정이다. 국내에서는 아직 그라우팅의 품질과 포스트텐션 구조물의 내구성에 대한 관계가 인식되지 않아 적절한 품질관리에 어려움이 있다. 국내표준시험법은 강연선에 의한 심지효과(wick effect)를 고려하지 않기 때문에 시공 시 발생할 수 있는 재료분리량을 평가하기 어렵다. 따라서 현 품질기준을 만족하는 그라우트를 사용하더라도, 시공 시 과다한 불리딩 수나 재료수축이 발생할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 그라우트에 관련된 해외기준과 표준시험법을 조사하여 국내기준 및 표준시험법과 비교한 후 해외기준에 준하는 성능을 나타낼 수 있는 그라우트 구성성분비 및 혼화제를 제시하여 보았다. 개선된 그라우트의 성능을 해외표준시험법에 따라 일반적으로 적용되고 있는 그라우트재와 비교하였으며 PC빔의 덕트형상을 고려한 목업시험을 통하여 흐름유형(flow pattern) 및 충전성능을 관찰하였다. 이 실험을 통하여 그라우팅의 성능은 재료특성에 의하여 높은 영향을 받으며 적용 대상의 기하학적 형상에 따라 상이한 충전특성을 가진다는 것 알 수 있었다.

When performing remote tasks using robots in nuclear power plants, a 3D shape measurement system is advantageous in improving the efficiency of remote operations by easily identifying the current state of the target object for example, size, shape, and distance information. Nuclear power plants have high-radiation and underwater environments therefore the electronic parts that comprise 3D shape measurement systems are prone to degradation and thus cannot be used for a long period of time. Also, given the refraction caused by a medium change in the underwater environment, optical design constraints and calibration methods for them are required. The present study proposed a method for developing an underwater 3D shape measurement system with improved radiation tolerance, which is composed of commercial electric parts and a stereo camera while being capable of easily and readily correcting underwater refraction. In an effort to improve its radiation tolerance, the number of parts that are exposed to a radiation environment was minimized to include only necessary components, such as a line beam laser, a motor to rotate the line beam laser, and a stereo camera. Given that a signal processing circuit and control circuit of the camera is susceptible to radiation, an image sensor and lens of the camera were separated from its main body to improve radiation tolerance. The prototype developed in the present study was made of commercial electric parts, and thus it was possible to improve the overall radiation tolerance at a relatively low cost. Also, it was easy to manufacture because there are few constraints for optical design.

The objective of this work is to present a conceptual design and the modelling of a distributed sensor system based on fiber optic devices (Fiber Bragg Grating, FBG), aimed at measuring span-wise and chord-wise variations of an adaptive (morphing) trailing edge. The network is made of two different integrated solutions for revealing deformations of the reference morphing structure. Strains are confined to typical values along the span (length) but they are expected to overcome standard ranges along the chord (width), up to almost 10%. In this case, suitable architectures may introduce proper modulations to keep the measured deformation low while preserving the information content. In the current paper, the designed monitoring system combines the use of a span-wise fiber reinforced patch with a chord-wise sliding beam. The two elements make up a closed grid, allowing the reconstruction of the complete deformed shape under the acceptable assumption that the transformation refers to regular geometry variations. Herein, the design logic and some integration issues are reported. Preliminary experimental test results are finally presented.

To upgrade shear performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams, and particularly of the segments under negative moment within continuous T-section beams, a series of original schemes has been proposed using carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) U-shaped strips for shear-strengthening. The current work focuses on one of them, in which CFRP U-strips are wound around steel bars against the top of the flange of a T-beam and then spliced on its bottom face in addition to being bonded onto its sides. The test results showed that the proposed scheme successfully provided reliable anchorage for U-strips and prevented premature onset of shear failure due to FRP debonding. The governing shear mode of failure changed from peeling of CFRP to its fracture or crushing of concrete. The strengthened specimens displayed an average increase of about 60% in shear capacity over the unstrengthened control one. The specimen with a relatively high ratio and uniform distribution of CFRP reinforcement had a maximum increase of nearly 75% in strength as well as significantly improved ductility. The formulas by various codes or guidelines exhibited different accuracy in estimating FRP contribution to shear resistance of the segments that are subjected to negative moment and strengthened with well-anchored FRP U-strips within continuous T-beams. Further investigation is necessary to find a suitable approach to predicting load-carrying capacity of continuous beams shear strengthened in this way.

Screen printing (SP) metal contact is typically applied to the solar cells for mass production. However, SP metal contact has low aspect ratio, low accuracy, hard control of the substrate penetration and unclean process. On the other hand, photo lithograpy (PL) metal contact can reduce defects by metal contact. In this investigation, PL metal contact was obtained the multi-layer structure of Ti/Pd/Ag by e-beam process. We applied SP metal contact and PL metal contact to single crystalline silicon solar cells, and demonstrated the difference of conversion efficiency. Because PL metal contact silicon solar cell has Jsc (short circuit current density) better than silicon solar cell applied SP metal contact.

TRAO has been newly equipped with a multi-beam receiver system, 16 pixel MMIC preamplifiers in a $4{\times}4$ array, a FFT spectrometer, and new control computer systems. In our new receiver systems one can make simultaneous observations with two molecular lines maximum 15 GHz apart with a spectral band width of 60 MHz. Typical system temperatures are about 160 - 200 K at 86 ~ 100 KHz and 400 - 500 K at 115 GHz in the dry weather. The new systems using On-The-Fly mode were found to be very efficient in making quick and sensitive maps of large clouds with a high velocity resolution (~0.04 km/s at 100 GHz). TRAO now calls for proposals for 2016 and 2017 observing season for everybody. In the talk we will introduce the current status of TRAO upgrade and its scientific preliminary results.

In this research, the nonlinear free vibration analysis of boron-nitride micro ribbon (BNMR) on the Pasternak elastic foundation under electrical, mechanical and thermal loadings using modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) is studied. Employing the von $K{\acute{a}}rm{\acute{a}}n$ nonlinear geometry theory, the nonlinear equations of motion for the graphene micro ribbon (GMR) using Euler-Bernoulli beam model with considering attached mass and size effects based on Hamilton's principle is obtained. These equations are converted into the nonlinear ordinary differential equations by elimination of the time variable using Kantorovich time-averaging method. To determine nonlinear frequency of GMR under various boundary conditions, and considering mass effect, differential quadrature element method (DQEM) is used. Based on modified strain MSGT, the results of the current model are compared with the obtained results by classical and modified couple stress theories (CT and MCST). Furthermore, the effect of various parameters such as material length scale parameter, attached mass, temperature change, piezoelectric coefficient, two parameters of elastic foundations on the natural frequencies of BNMR is investigated. The results show that for all boundary conditions, by increasing the mass intensity in a fixed position, the linear and nonlinear natural frequency of the GMR reduces. In addition, with increasing of material length scale parameter, the frequency ratio decreases. This results can be used to design and control nano/micro devices and nano electronics to avoid resonance phenomenon.

The heat distribution in crystals in a 2-㎛ acousto-optic Q-switched Tm:LuAG laser pumped by pulsed-laser-diode (pulsed-LD) intermittent-pumping technology was analyzed using COMSOL software. The thermal lensing effect of the Tm:LuAG crystal can be mitigated by pulsed-LD intermittent-pumping techniques. An experimental setup using this kind of approach achieved maximum output energy of 8.31 mJ, minimum pulse width of 101.9 ns, and highest peak power of 81.55 kW, reached at a Q-switched repetition rate of 200 Hz. It offers significant improvement of performance of the output laser beam, compared to pulsed-LD double-ended pumping technology at the same repetition rate.
