  • Temperature adaptability is an important metric for evaluating the performance of an optical system. The temperature characteristics of the optical system are closely related to the material and shape of its lens. In this paper, we establish a mathematical model relating the temperature characteristics to the shape and material of the lens. Then a novel assembly structure that can solve the lens constraint and positioning problem is proposed. From those basics, the correctness of the theoretical model and the effectiveness of the assembly structure are verified through simulated analysis of the imaging quality of the optical system, whose operating temperature range is $-60{\sim}100^{\circ}C$.

  • Flexible strain sensors, as the core member of the family of smart electronic devices, along with reasonable sensing range and sensitivity plus low cost, have rose a huge consumer market and also immense interests in fundamental studies and technological applications, especially in the field of biomimetic robots movement detection and human health condition monitoring. In this paper, we propose a new flexible strain sensor based on thick CVD graphene film and its low-cost fabrication strategy by using the commercial adhesive tape as flexible substrate. The tensile tests in a strain range of ~30% were implemented, and a gage factor of 30 was achieved under high strain condition. The optical microscopic observation with different strains showed the evolution of cracks in graphene film. Together with commonly used platelet overlap theory and percolation network theory for sensor resistance modeling, we established an overlap destructive resistance model to analyze the sensing mechanism of our devices, which fitted the experimental data very well. The finding of difference of fitting parameters in small and large strain ranges revealed the multiple stage feature of graphene crack evolution. The resistance fallback phenomenon due to the viscoelasticity of flexible substrate was analyzed. Our flexible strain sensor with low cost and simple fabrication process exhibits great potential for commercial applications.

  • Victory and defeat of the war depends on follow-on logistics support. The spending time of follow-on logistics support at combat area is greatly influenced by the degree of combat intensity. The main purpose of this study is to compose a optimal supply route for operational sustainability of combat unit at combat area using transport vehicles. This study suggests a composition of optimal supply route for follow-on logistics support which considers the degree of combat intensity. A mathematical programming model and a genetic algorithm suggest to minimize the total spending time of follow-on logistics support. The suggested mathematical programming model is verified by using CPLEX 11.1. This study computes supply route, total spending time, total travel distance, and the number of transport vehicle.

  • Logistics is by no means a new subject area. The concept of logistics goes way become more complex as technology advances, and logistics requirements have increased accordingly. In 1964, when ILS philosophy formally came into being, ILS was defined in general terms and did not describe what actions an ILS program should accomplish. ILS philosophy have been developed from 1964 through 1980. In 1982, United States Department of Defense formulated a new concept, CALS. CALS is the strategy that the US defense development to management the transition to integration and automated interchange in defense system engineering, manufacturing, and logistic support. Its goal is to use the inherent features of digitized data to revolutionize the function of data -gathering, data storage and data - transfer techologies associared with the development of defense systems. The Result will be systems that are cheaper, more reliable, and easier to maintain. To define CALS's character, the purpose of this papers compare two concepts - CALS and ILS. The elements of CALS consist of standads and EDI. The elements of ILS include LCC(Life Cycle Cost), LSA(Logistics Support Analysis), LSAR(Logistics Support Analysis Rcord), Aquisition Cycle.

  • The major drawbacks of magnetic resonant coupled wireless power transfer (WPT) to the embedded sensors on spindles are transmission instability and low efficiency of the transmission. This paper proposes a novel double-loop coil design for wirelessly charging embedded sensors. Theoretical and finite-element analyses show that the proposed coil has good transmission performance. In addition, the power transmission capability of the double-loop coil can be improved by reducing the radius difference and width difference of the transmitter and receiver. It has been demonstrated by analysis and practical experiments that a magnetic resonant coupled WPT system using the double-loop coil can provide a stable and efficient power transmission to embedded sensors.

  • As the weapon systems of the Korean Army possess massive firepower and multiple functions, the improvement of their quality through reliability prediction is becoming increasingly important. Currently, the reliability prediction of the weapon systems of the Korean Army is a difficult process, because it is conducted by naively calculating the reliability of their constituent parts. Recently, as various studies using accumulated data are undertaken across various industries, the defense industry is also attempting to analyze the Dark Data which have been accumulated but not yet used. Therefore, it is necessary to apply Post-Logistics Support (PLS) data in order to improve the reliability of the weapon systems and, for this purpose, the Korean Army needs to conduct diverse studies. Especially, the PLS data in the defense industry is very useful for reliability prediction, because the data on the defects reported after the development of the weapon systems are accumulated in this phase. This study examines the existing reliability prediction method conducted using the component parts and proposes a new reliability prediction method using PLS data. This framework can ultimately contribute to improve the prediction accuracy and quality of the weapon systems.
