The axisymmetric dynamic instability of polar orthotropic sandwich annular plate combined with electrorheological (ER) fluid core layer and constraining layer are studied in this paper. And, the ER core layer and constraining layer are used to improve the stability of the annular plate system. The boundaries of instability regions for the polar orthotropic sandwich annular plate system are obtained by discrete layer annular finite element and the harmonic balance method. The rheological property of an electrorheological material, such as viscosity, plasticity, and elasticity can be controlled by applying different electric field strength. Thus, the damping characteristics of the sandwich system are more effective when the electric field is applied on the sandwich structure. Additionally, variations of the instability regions for the polar orthotropic sandwich annular plate with different applying electric field strength, thickness of ER layer and some designed parameters are investigated and discussed in this study.

$Er^{3+}$ doped $NdF_{3}$ single crystalline thin films with smooth, microcrack-free, and high-crystalline quality were grown on $CaF_{2}(111)$ substrate at $500^{\circ}C$by molecular beem epitaxy(MBE). The relation-ship between subcell and supercell showing the reconstructed $3^{1/2} \times 3^{1/2}$ structure was studied by reflection high-energy electron diffraction(RHEED) investigation. The film surface and the growth mode were examined in studied by RHEED patterns and atomic force microscope(AFM) images ex situ. The crystallinity of film and the lattice mismatch between $NdF_{3}Er}^{3+}(0002)$ film and $CaF_{2}(111)$ substrate depending in the $Er^{3+}$ concentration were investigated by X-ray rocking curve analysis.

The etching characteristics of Er-doped sodium borosilicate glass film for the planar optical waveguides were investigated using reactive ion etching. The etch rate decreased as the pressure in creased but increased as the RF power increased. The etch rate increased as the flow rate C2F gas and the amount of O2 addition increased but decreased over critical point (C2F6 7,5 accm O2 20%) The etch rate was 180${\AA}$/min under C2F6 7.5 sccm O2 20% RF power 270 W, pressure 150 mTorr. With this optimum etching condition and subsequent heat treatment at 975$^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes planar optical waveguides having improved sidewall roughness were fabricated successfully.

Fission and fusion of mitochondrial tubules are the main processes determining mitochondrial shape and size in cells. As more evidence is found for the involvement of mitochondrial morphology in human pathology, it is important to elucidate the mechanisms of mitochondrial fission and fusion. Mitochondrial morphology is highly sensitive to changing environmental conditions, indicating the involvement of cellular signaling pathways. In addition, the well-established structural connection between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria has recently been found to play a role in mitochondrial fission. This minireview describes the latest advancements in understanding the regulatory mechanisms controlling mitochondrial morphology, as well as the ER-mediated structural maintenance of mitochondria, with a specific emphasis on mitochondrial fission.

In this paper, ANFIS intelligence control of a semi-active suspension system is investigated. The strength of the ER damper is controlled by a high voltage power supply. This paper deals with a two-degree-of-freedom suspension using the damper with ERF for a quarter vehicle system. The control law for semi-active suspensions modeled in this study is developed using passive and ANFlS control method. Computer simulation results show that the semi-active suspension with ERF damper has good performances of ride quality

The parametric resonance problems of axisymmetric sandwich annular plate with an electrorheological (ER) fluid core and constraining layer are investigated. The annular plate is covered an electrorheological fluid core layer and a constraining layer to improve the stability of the system. The discrete layer annular finite element and the harmonic balance method are adopted to calculate the boundary of instability regions for the sandwich annular plate system. Besides, the rheological property of an electrorheological material, such as viscosity, plasticity, and elasticity can be changed when applying an electric field. When the electric field is applied on the sandwich structure, the damping of the sandwich system is more effective. Thus, variations of the instability regions for the sandwich annular plate with different applying electric fields, thickness of ER layer, and some designed parameters are presented and discussed in this study. The ER fluid core is found to have a significant effect on the location of the boundaries of the instability regions.

An Er-doped superfluorescent fiber source is designed and constructed with the double-pass forward configuration, which aims at high stability of its mean wavelength against temperature variation. As a result, thermal stability of mean wavelength better than 1 ppm is obtained against the temperature variation of ${\pm}5^{\circ}C$ around the optimum operating temperature. The optimum operating temperature can be tuned with the Er-doped fiber length and the pump power.

본 연구에서는 잠재적 응용성이 큰 ER유체와 압전필름을 액튜에이터로 하는 하이브리드형 지능구조물을 제안한 후 능동 진동제어를 실시하였다. 먼저 중공(hollow)의 샌드위치 형태 복합재료(glass/epoxy)보에 ER유체와 압전필름을 각각 삽입과 접착을 하여 하이브리드형 지능구조물을 제작하였다. 그리고 각 매체의 액튜에이팅 특성을 고려하여, ER유체 액튜에이터(ERFA)는 전장부하 함수로 도출되는 구조물의 주파수응답을 특징으로 하였고, 압전필름 액튜에이터(PFA)는 신경 슬라이딩 모드 제어기 (neuro sliding mode controller : NSC)를 적용하였다. 이 두 액튜에이터가 동시에 작동하는 능동 진동제어계를 실험적으로 구현한 후 과도응답과 강제 응답에 대한 진동제어 성능을 단일 액튜에이터 작동시와 비교 고찰하여 제시된 하이브리드 액튜에이팅의 효과를 입증하였다.

The electrorheological(ER) fluid has been used to the ultraprecision polishing of single crystal silicon as new polishing slurry whose properties such as yield stress and particle structure changed with the application of an electric field. In this work, it is aimed to find the effective parameters in the ER fluid on material removal in the polishing system whose structure is similar to that of the simple hydrodynamic bearing. The generated pressure in the gap between a moving wall and a workpiece, as well as the electric field-induced stress of the mixture of ER fluid-abrasives, is evaluated experimentally, and their influence on the polishing of single crystal silicon is analyzed. Moreover, the behavior of abrasive and ER particles is described.

The electrorheological(ER) behavior of hollow polyaniline(PANI) sebacate suspension in silicone oil was investigated by varying the electric fields and shear rates, respectively. The hollow PANI sebacate susepnsion acted as a typical Bingham fluid caused by the polarizability of an amide polar group and showed shear yield stress due to the formation of chains upon application of an electric field. The shear stress for the hollow PANI sebacate suspension exhibited an electric field power of 1.24. On the basis of the experimental results, the newly synthesized hollow PANI sebacate suspension was found to be an anhydrous ER fluid.
