A multi-dimensional component for the thermal-hydraulic system analysis code, MARS, was developed for a more realistic three-dimensional analysis of nuclear systems. A three-dimensional and two-fluid model for a two-phase flow in Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates was employed. The governing equations and physical constitutive relationships were extended from those of a one-dimensional version. The numerical solution method adopted a semi-implicit and finite-difference method based on a staggered-grid mesh and a donor-cell scheme. The relevant length scale was very coarse compared to commercial computational fluid dynamics tools. Thus a simple Prandtl's mixing length turbulence model was applied to interpret the turbulent induced momentum and energy diffusivity. Non drag interfacial forces were not considered as in the general nuclear system codes. Several conceptual cases with analytic solutions were chosen and analyzed to assess the fundamental terms. RPI air-water and UPTF 7 tests were simulated and compared to the experimental data. The simulation results for the RPI air-water two-phase flow experiment showed good agreement with the measured void fraction. The simulation results for the UPTF downcomer test 7 were compared to the experiment data and the results from other multi-dimensional system codes for the ECC delivery flow.

This paper is to analyze the Premature Quench characteristics of a rotating magnet type superconducting fluxpump and consider the method of detecting and protecting this premature quench. Practically, there is contact resistance between the fluxpump and the load, namely the S.C. magnet. The thermal increase due to the contact resistance cause the premature quench before the charging current amounts to the critical current of S.C magnet. Therefore, this paper is devoted to solving the heat equation on contact region using cylindrical coordinates and to calculating the rate of thermal increase during the current is pumped up. Doing so, the predictive value of the maximum pumping current is obtained. It has been verified that the results of simulation are coincident with those of experiment. It must be considered essentially to minimize the contact resistance in designing the S.C fluxpump system in order to protect the premature quench and improve the maximum pumping current.

In this paper, we present a compact model of gate-voltage-dependent quantum effects in short-channel surrounding-gate (SG) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). We based the model on a two-dimensional (2-D) analytical solution of Poisson's equation using cylindrical coordinates. We used the model to investigate the electrostatic potential and current sensitivities of various gate lengths ($L_g$) and radii (R). Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger's equation was solved analytically for a one-dimensional (1-D) quantum well to include quantum effects in the model. The model takes into account quantum effects in the inversion region of the SG MOSFET using a triangular well. We show that the new model is in excellent agreement with the device simulation results in all regions of operation.

The reinforced concrete farm silos on the elastic foundatin are widely used in agricultural engineering because of their superior structural performance, economy and attractive appearance. Various methods for the analysis and design of farm silo, such as the analytical method, the finite difference method, and the finite element methods, can be used. But the analytical procedure can not be applied for the intricate conditions in practice. Therefore lately the finite element method has been become in the structural mechanics. In this paper, a method of finite element analysis for the cylindrical farm silo on ffness matrix for the elastic foundation governed by winkler's assumption. A complete computer programs have been developed in this paper can be applicable not only to the shell structures on elastic foundation but also to the arbitrary three dimensional structures. Assuming the small deflection theory, the membrane and plate bending behaviours of flat plate element can be assumed mutually uncoupled. In this case, the element has 5 degrees of freedom per node when defined in the local coordinate system. However, when the element properties are transformed to the global coordinates for assembly, the 6th degree of freedom should be considered. A problem arises in this procedure the resultant stiffness in the 6th degree of freedom at this node will be zero. But this singularity of the stiffness matrix can be eliminated easily by merely replacing the zero diagonal by dummy stiffness.

We propose a simple model to elucidate the dispersion behavior of spiraling modes on silver nanowire by finding correspondence parameters and building a simple equivalent relationship with the planar insulator-metal-insulator geometry. The characteristics approximated for the proposed structure are compared with the results from an exact solution obtained by solving Maxwell's equation in cylindrical coordinates. The effective refractive index for our proposed equivalent model is in good agreement with that for the exact solution in the 400-2000 nm wavelength range. In particular, when the radius of the silver nanowire is 100 nm, the calculated index shows typical improvements; the average percentage error for the real part of the effective refractive index is reduced to only 5% for the $0^{th}$ order mode (11.9% in previous results) and 1.5% for the $1^{st}$ order mode (24.8% in previous results) in the 400-800 nm wavelength range. This equivalent model approach is expected to provide further insight into understanding the important behavior of nanowire waveguides.

This work presents a comprehensive study on the surface energy effect on the axial frequency analyses of AFGM nanorods in cylindrical coordinates. The AFGM nanorods are considered to be thin, relatively thick, and thick. In thin nanorods, effects of the inertia of lateral motions and the shear stiffness are ignored; in relatively thick nanorods, only the first one is considered; and in thick nanorods, both of them are considered in the kinetic energy and the strain energy of the nanorod, respectively. The surface elasticity theory which includes three surface parameters called surface density, surface stress, and surface Lame constants, is implemented to consider the size effect. The power-law form is considered for variation of the material properties through the axial direction. Hamilton's principle is used to derive the governing equations and boundary conditions. Due to considering the surface stress, the governing equation and boundary condition become inhomogeneous. After homogenization of them using an appropriate change of variable, axial natural frequencies are calculated implementing harmonic differential quadrature (HDQ) method. Comprehensive results including effects of geometric parameters and various material properties are presented for a wide range of boundary condition types. It is believed that this study is a comprehensive one that can help posterities for design and manufacturing of nano-electro-mechanical systems.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of resin cement shade on the color of different novel ultratranslucent monolithic zirconia and lithium disilicate veneer materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS. For a total of 40 specimens, flat cylindrical discs with a 9-mm diameter and 0.5-mm thickness were created using CAD/CAM technology. The specimens were divided into five groups according to their material (n = 8) (e.max, Prettau, Aidite, Shofu and Dima) using A1 shade. Resin discs with the same diameter and shade as the specimens served as tooth-colored substructures. Three shades (neutral, light and warm) of resin cement try-in pastes (Variolink Esthetic LC) were used as the luting cement material. The color of each material group was measured before and after cementation using the three cement shades, and the CIE L^*a^*b^* coordinates were obtained with a spectrophotometer. Values for the translucency parameter (TP) and color change delta E (E) before (baseline) and after cementation of each specimen were determined. To compare differences among the material groups within each shade of cement and among various shades of cement within each material, the data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post hoc testing. RESULTS. Color coordinates L^*, a^* and b^* significantly changed after the application of try-in pastes relative to baseline values, with a noticeable decrease in lightness (L^*) (P < .05). A significant color change (ΔE) was observed in all tested materials after cementation, with ΔE values exceeding 3.3 (P < .05). Although TP changed after cementation for most materials tested, these changes were not statistically significant (P > .05). Shofu and Dima ceramics showed the lowest TP values, while Aidite and Prettau showed the highest TP values. For e.max, translucency decreased after cementation with neutral and warm shades, and it significantly increased after cementation with a light shade. CONCLUSION. The shade of cement significantly altered the final color of the ceramic veneer material to a level above the threshold at which the clinical perception of color change occurred (> 3.3). The TP was not influenced by the cement shade. The translucency levels of the novel ultratranslucent multilayer monolithic zirconia ceramics Aidite and Prettau were higher than that of the lithium disilicate e.max material.

3D 얼굴 모델링은 33공간에서 얼굴을 자유롭게 회전 시켜 다양한 얼굴 자세를 표현하고 조명 효과도 적절하게 모델링 할 수 있으므로, 얼굴 자세, 조명, 표정 등의 표현에 있어서 2D 얼굴 모델링에 비해 보다 정교하며 사실감이 뛰어나 얼굴 인식, 게임, 아바타 등에서 많은 요구가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 3D 변형 가능 형상 모델에 기반을 둔 3D 얼굴 모델링 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 3D 얼굴 모델링 방법은 먼저 3D 스캐너를 통하여 획득한 3D 얼굴 스캔 데이터를 이용하여 3D 얼굴 변형 가능 형상 모델을 구축한다. 다음, 3D 얼굴 모델링을 하고자 하는 얼굴의 2D 이미지 시퀀스로부터, 해당 얼굴의 특징점들을 검출하고 이들을 매칭하여, 매칭된 특징점들로부터 인수분해 기반 SfM 기법을 이용하여 해당 특징점의 3D 버텍스 좌표 값을 구한다. 이후, 구한 3D 버텍스들을 3D 변형 가능 형상 모델에 정합하여 해당 얼굴의 3D 형상 모델을 얻는다. 또한, 2D 얼굴 이미지 시퀀스들로부터 뷰 독립적인 2D 원통 좌표 텍스쳐 맵을 구하고 이를 이용하여 3D 형상 모델을 렌더링 함으로써, 최종적으로 3B 얼굴 모델을 완성한다. 제안된 3D 얼굴 모델링 방법에 의한 3D 얼굴 모델 생성 과정을 통해서, 본 논문에서 제안한 3D 얼굴 모델링 방법이 기존의 얼굴 모델링 방법들에 비해 상대적으로 빠르고 비교적 정교하게 수행됨을 볼 수 있었다.
