이중 에너지 콘빔 CT는 원자번호가 다른 두 물질을 구분해낼 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 이중 에너지 콘빔 CT를 구현하는 여러 가지 방법 중, 에너지 변조 필터(modulation layer)에 기반한 이중 에너지 콘빔 CT의 원리는 x-선 발생창의 절반을 구리와 같은 에너지 변조 필터로 차단하면, 차단되지 않은 곳에서는 원래의 관전압에 해당하는 x-선 스펙트럼이 발생하고 에너지 변조 필터로 가려진 부분에서는 저에너지 x-선이 감소된 x-선 스펙트럼이 발생하여 한 번의 스캔에서 두 가지 스펙트럼을 획득할 수 있다는 것이다. 우리는 에너지 변조 필터를 이용한 이중 에너지 콘빔 CT 구현의 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 다양한 두께의 에너지 변조 필터에 의해 생성되는 x-선 스펙트럼을 몬테칼로 전산모사를 이용하여 획득하였다. 전산모사 결과를 검증하기 위하여 동일한 콘빔 CT 시스템에서 CdTe 검출기를 이용하여 50~100 kVp에 대하여 스펙트럼을 측정하였고, 80 kVp 관전압에 대하여 실험과 전산모사로 획득한 스펙트럼의 평균 에너지가 유사함을 확인하였다. 또한 에너지 변조 필터의 두께를 2.0 mm로 하였을 때 스펙트럼의 평균 에너지는 80과 120 kVp에 대하여 각각 1.67, 1.52배까지 증가함을 확인하였다. 따라서 에너지 변조 필터를 사용하면 하나의 x-선 발생장치를 이용하여 가상의 이중 에너지 선원을 구현할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

We have investigated the optical properties of Te-doped ZnSSe:Te epitaxial layers grown on (100) GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. The Te-doped ternary specimen shows strong blue or green emission (at 300k) which is assigned to Te$_{1}$ or Te$_{n}$( n$\geq$2) cluster bound exciton. Bright green and blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been developed using ZnSSe:Te system as an active layer. The green LEDs exhibit a fairly long device lifetime (>2000 h) when operated at 3 A/cm$^{2}$ under CW condition at room temperature. It is confirmed that the Te-doping induced "crystal-hardening effect" plays a significant role in both efficient and strong suppression of the optical device degradation.gradation.

This paper presents the flexural behaviour of stainless steel beam-to-tubular column joints with extended endplates subjected to static loading. Moment-rotation relationships were investigated numerically by using Abaqus software with geometric and material nonlinearity considered. The prediction of damages among components was achieved through ductile damage models, and the influence of initial geometric imperfections and residual stresses was evaluated in large fabricated stainless steel joints involving hollow columns and concrete-filled columns. Parametric analysis was subsequently conducted to assess critical factors that could affect the flexural performance significantly in terms of the initial stiffness and moment resistance. A comparison between codes of practice and numerical results was thereafter made, and design recommendations were proposed for further applications. Results suggest that the finite element model can predict the structural behaviour reasonably well with the component damage consistent with test outcomes. Initial geometric imperfections and residual stresses are shown to have little effect on the moment-rotation responses. A series of parameters that can influence the joint behaviour remarkably include the strain-hardening exponents, stainless steel strength, diameter of bolts, thickness of endplates, position of bolts, section of beams and columns. AS/NZS 2327 is more reliable to predict the joint performance regarding the initial stiffness and moment capacity compared to EN 1993-1-8.

The effect of segmental joints is one of main importance for the segmental lining design when tunnels are excavated by a mechanized process. In this paper, segmental tunnel linings are analyzed by two numerical methods, namely the Beam-Spring Method (BSM) and the Solid-Interface Method (SIM). For this purpose, the Tehran Subway Line 6 Tunnel is considered to be the reference case. Comprehensive 2D numerical simulations are performed considering the soil's calibrated plastic hardening model (PH). Also, an advanced 3D numerical model was used to obtain the stress relaxation value. The SIM numerical model is conducted to calculate the average rotational stiffness of the longitudinal joints considering the joints bending moment distribution and joints openings. Then, based on the BSM, a sensitivity analysis was performed to investigate the influence of the ground rigidity, depth to diameter ratios, slippage between the segment and ground, segment thickness, number of segments and pattern of joints. The findings indicate that when the longitudinal joints are flexible, the soil-segment interaction effect is significant. The joint rotational stiffness effect becomes remarkable with increasing the segment thickness, segment number, and tunnel depth. The pattern of longitudinal joints, in addition to the joint stiffness ratio and number of segments, also depends on the placement of longitudinal joints of the key segment in the tunnel crown (similar to patterns B and B').

This paper deals with the flexural behaviors of R.C beams strengthened by carbon fiber sheets. The behaviors of strengthened beams which were preloaded up to 50%, 60% and 70% of the ultimate load of unstrengthened beam are compared with that of a beam which was not preloaded. The structural behaviors of strengthened beams are compared with analytical method in terms of load-strain of concrete, load-strain of steel bar, load-strain of CFS and falilure load. Four cases of analytical method are investigated according to cracked section or partially cracked section and including strain hardening effect of steel bar or not. Comparing the results of test and analysis, both are similar in terms of load-strain of concrete, and falilure load, the results of analytical method underestimate the failure load. But each results of load-strain of steel bar, load-strain of CFS near at failure is some different, thus near at failure the composite action between CFS and upper concrete is assumed to be disturbed. Consequently, the analytical method was proved to be efficient and accurate in estimating the flexural response of CFS strengthened RC beams.

A Digital X-ray imaging system using Compton backscattering has been developed to obtain a cross-sectional profile and mass loss of corroded lap-splices of aging aircraft from density variation. A slit-type camera was designed to focus on a small scattering volume inside the material, from which the backscattered photons are collected by a collimated scintillator detector for interpretation of material characteristics. The cross section of the lap-joint is scanned by moving the scattering volume through the thickness direction of the specimen. The mass loss of each layer has been estimated from a Compton backscatter A-scan to obtain the thickness of each layer including the aluminum sheet, the corrosion layer and the sealant. Quantitative information such as location and width of planar corrosion in the lap splices of fuselages is obtained by deconvolution using a nonlinear least-square error minimization method(BFGS method): A simple reconstruction model is also introduced to overcome distortion of the Compton backscatter data due to attenuation effects attributed to beam hardening and quantum noise.

This study is mainly for the reduction of exposure dose by using a heavy elements filter(Gd) in the digital radiology. They contained heavy elements filter of Gd and X-ray beam hardening filters such as Al and Cu. According to the results of experimental evaluation, X-ray property was not changed with variety of kVp in the case of the Gd filter. The surface dose and absorption dose were increased in order of Cu and Al. The contrast of image showed the higher value in order of Cu, Al and Gd. While the use of Gd has increased the numerical value of the CR image, and grayscale has decreased noise value of the DR image.
