By electrodeposition (ED) using a monomeric- and two polymeric coupling agents, the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of carbon fiber/epoxy composites was investigated by fragmentation test. ED results were compared with the dipping and the untreated cases under dry and wet conditions. Multi-fiber composites (MFC) were used for the direct comparison for the untreated and the treated cases. Various treating conditions including time, concentration and temperature were evaluated, respectively. Under dry and wet conditions ED treatment exhibited much higher IFSS improvement compared to the dipping and the untreated cases. Monomeric- and polymeric coupling agents exhibited the comparative IFSS improvement. Adsorption mechanism between coupling agents and carbon fiber was analyzed in terms of the electrolyte molecular interactions during ED process based on to the chain mobility. The microfailure modes occurring from the fiber break, matrix and interlayer cracks were correlated to IFSS.

The electrostatic layer-by-layer technique provides a convenient way to control the construction of ultrathin films at nano-scale ranges and can be easily obtained. It can be also applicable to fiber substrate with dye compounds. We have fabricated multilayer dye films using diazonium resin and three couplers, which are prepared by self-assembly approach. This method is based on layer-by-layer deposition using electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. Beside, the diazo coupling reaction proceeded to form azo dye layer on the PET fibers the same time. The corresponding results of the multilayer films have been discussed on the level of color strength (K/S).

We present the effect of a coupling agent on the optoelectrical properties of few-walled carbon nanotube (FWCNT)/epoxy resin hybrid films fabricated on glass substrates. The FWCNT/epoxy resin mixture solution was successfully prepared by the direct mixing of a $HNO_3$-treated FWCNT solution and epoxy resin. FWCNT/binder hybrid films containing different amounts of the coupling agent were then fabricated on UV-ozone-treated glass substrates. To determine the critical binder content ($X_c$), the effects of varying the binder content in the FWCNT/silane hybrid films on their optoelectrical properties were investigated. In this system, the $X_c$ value was approximately 75 wt%. It was found that above $X_c$, the coupling agent effectively decreased the sheet resistance of the films. From microscopy images, it was observed that by adding the coupling agent, more uniform FWCNT/binder films were formed.

A log periodic microstrip array antenna using direct coupling feeder is designed at the frequency 7.2-12.4GHz. Transmission line analysis method was used for the design of each antenna element in consideration of the effects of dielectric and conductor loss and the discontinuity, also the optimized feeding points were obtained for the impedance matching between a main transmission line and each antenna element. It is shown that the measured VSWR was less that 2.4 at the frequency 7.2-12.4GHz, and 53% bandwidth was achived.

In this study, direct code coupling, in which two codes share a single flow field, was conducted using 3-dimensional high resolution thermal hydraulics code, CUPID and 1-dimensional system analysis code, MARS. This approach provide the merit to use versatile capability of MARS for nuclear power plants and 3-dimensional T/H analysis capability of CUPID. Numerical Method to directly couple CUPID and MARS was described in this paper. The straight flow and manometer flow oscillation were calculated to verify conservation of coupled CUPID/MARS code in mass, momentum, and energy. This verification calculations indicates that the CUPID/MARS is coupled appropriately in numerical aspect and the coupled code can be applied to nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics after validation against integral transient experiments.

The problem considered in this paper is about the collocation of sensor and actuator for the active control of sound and vibration. It is well-known that a point collocated sensor-actuator pair offers an unconditional stability with very high performance when it is used with a direct velocity feedback (DVFB) control, because the pair has strictly positive real (SPR) property. In order to utilize this SPR characteristics, a matched piezoelectric sensor and actuator pair is considered, but this pair suffers from the in-plane motion coupling problem with the out-of$.$plane motion due to the piezo sensor and actuator interaction. This coupling phnomenon limits the stability and performance of the matched pair with DVFB control. As a new alternative, a point sensor and piezoelectric actuator pair is also considered, which provides SPR property in all frequency range except at the first resonance in very low frequency. This non-SPR resonance could be minimized by applying a phase lag compensator.

인버터를 이용한 대역 통과 필터를 설계할 때, 기존에 사용하던 기하평균 방법은 인버터의 이미턴스가 주파수에 대해 일정하다고 생각한 가정때문에 대역폭률이 10% 이상인 광대역 필터에서 대역폭과 중심주파수가 잘 맞지 않게 된다. 이에 대한 보완으로 Cohn은 새로운 함수를 제안하였는데, 이 함수도 coupling 방법에 따른 사용상의 제약을 갖고 있다. 본 고에서는 coupling 방법에 관계없이 광대역 필터를 설계할 수 있는 새로운 변환 함수를 제시하였으며 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존의 함수들보다 더 정확하다는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a direct seek control algorithm for swing-arm type dual stage servo system that consists of a coarse actuator and a fine actuator. The proposed scheme is to design a control system that attenuates the effect of dynamic coupling between the two actuators so that the seek operation can be performed in a single-shot with stability. In an optical drive system with dual stage servo mechanism, the effect of dynamic coupling between the two actuators needs to be handled during the coarse seek operation due to its inherent structure. In an extreme case, the two actuators can collide each other, which leads to critical degradation of the seek performance. To handle this problem, our proposed control scheme is to generate the drive signals such that the two actuators behave as if they are a single fixed body. To this end, a feedforward controller and two feedback controllers are designed that enable the current drive system perform wide range of track seek. Simulation results are provided to show the validity and feasibility of our proposed algorithm.

This paper presents and compares three feedback control strategies for active control of noise inside a 3-D vibro-acoustic cavity. These are a) control strategy based on direct output feedback (DOFB) b) control strategy based on linear quadratic regulator (LQR) to reduce structural vibrations and c) LQR control strategy with a weighting scheme based on structural-acoustic coupling coefficients. The first two strategies are indirect control strategies in which noise reduction is achieved through active vibration control (AVC), termed as AVC-DOFB and AVC-LQR respectively. The third direct strategy is based on active structural-acoustic control (ASAC). This strategy is an LQR based optimal control strategy in which the coupling between the various structural and the acoustic modes is used to design the controller. The strategy is termed as ASAC-LQR. A numerical model of a 3-D rectangular box cavity with a flexible plate (glued with piezoelectric patches) and with other five surfaces treated rigid is developed using finite element (FE) method. A single pair of collocated piezoelectric patches is used for sensing the vibrations and applying control forces on the structure. A comparison of frequency response function (FRF) of structural nodal acceleration, acoustic nodal pressure, and piezoelectric actuation voltage is carried out. It is found that the AVC-DOFB control strategy gives equal importance to all the modes. The AVC-LQR control strategy tries to consume the control effort to damp all the structural modes. It is seen that the ASAC-LQR control strategy utilizes the control effort more intelligently by adding higher damping to those structural modes that matter more for reducing the interior noise.
