  • This paper presents and compares a one-dimensional (1D) bending theory for piezoelectric thin beam-type structures with resistive-inductive electrodes to ANSYS$^{(R)}$ three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) analysis. In particular, the lateral deflections and vibrations of slender piezoelectric beams are considered. The peculiarity of the piezoelectric beam model is the modeling of electrodes in such a manner that is does not fulfill the equipotential area condition. The case of ideal, perfectly conductive electrodes is a special case of our 1D model. Two-coupled partial differential equations are obtained for the lateral deflection and for the voltage distribution along the electrodes: the first one is an extended Bernoulli-Euler beam equation (second-order in time, forth order in space) and the second one the so-called Telegrapher's equation (second-order in time and space). Analytical results of our theory are validated by 3D electromechanically coupled FE simulations with ANSYS$^{(R)}$. A clamped-hinged beam is considered with various types of electrodes for the piezoelectric layers, which can be either resistive and/or inductive. A natural frequency analysis as well as quasi-static and dynamic simulations are performed. A good agreement between the extended beam theory and the FE results is found. Finally, the practical relevance of this type of electrodes is shown. It is found that the damping capability of properly tuned resistive or resistive-inductive electrodes exceeds the damping performance of beams, where the electrodes are simply linked to an optimized impedance.

  • A recent air defense missile system is required to have a capability to intercept short-range super-high speed targets such as tactical ballistic missile(TBMs) by performing engagement control efficiently. Since flight time and distance of TBM are very short, the missile defense system should be ready to engage a TBM as soon as it takes an indication of the TBM launch. As a result, it has to predict TBM trajectory accurately with cueing information received from an early warning system, and designate search direction and volume for own radar to detect/track TBM as fast as it can, and also generate necessary engagement information. In addition, it is needed to engage TBM accurately via transmitting tracked TBM position and velocity data to the corresponding intercept missiles. In this paper, we proposed a method to estimate TBM trajectory based on the Kepler's law for the missile system to detect and track TBM using the cueing information received before the TBM arrives the apogee of the ballistic trajectory, and analyzed the bias of prediction error in terms of the transmission period of cueing data between the missile system and the early warning system.

  • The changes in the optical anisotropy of the clean Cu(110) and the oxygen covered Cu(110) surfaces due to Cu growth have been studied by reflectance difference spectroscopy(RDS). We have monitored the growth mode of Cu atoms on Cu(110) and Cu(110)-(2XlO surfaces at 250K and checked the surfactant effect of oxygen during the Cu growth. For Cu grow on Cu(110) and Cu(110)-(2Xl)O surface at low temperature, we observed evidence for the layer-by-layer growth mode with change of 4.25eV peak intensity.

  • The present paper is concerned with vibrations of an elastic bridge loaded by a moving elastic beam of a finite length, which is an extension of the authors' previous study where the second beam was modeled as a semi-infinite beam. The second beam, which represents a train, moves with a constant speed along the bridge and is assumed to be connected to the bridge by the limiting case of a rigid interface such that the deflections of the bridge and the train are forced to be equal. The elastic stiffness and the mass of the train are taken into account. The differential equations are developed according to the Bernoulli-Euler theory and formulated in a non-dimensional form. A solution strategy is developed for the flexural vibrations, bending moments and shear forces in the bridge by means of symbolic computation. When the train travels across the bridge, concentrated forces and moments are found to take place at the front and back side of the train.

  • We combine a semi-analytic model of galaxy evolution with constraints on circumstellar habitable zones and the distribution of terrestrial planets in order to probe the suitability of galaxies of different mass and type to host habitable planets, and how it evolves with time. We find that the fraction of stars with terrestrial planets in their habitable zone (known as habitability) depends only weakly on galaxy mass, with a maximum around $4{\times}10^{10}M_{\odot}$. We estimate that 0.7% of all stars in Milky Way-type galaxies to host a terrestrial planet within their habitable zone, consistent with the value derived from Kepler observations. On the other hand, the habitability of passive galaxies is slightly but systematically higher, unless we assume an unrealistically high sensitivity of planets to supernovae. We find that the overall habitability of galaxies has not changed significantly in the last ~8 Gyr, with most of the habitable planets in local disk galaxies having formed ~1.5 Gyr before our own solar system. Finally, we expect that ${\sim}1.4{\times}10^9$ planets similar to present-day Earth have existed so far in our galaxy.

  • In most cases, the trajectory of a ballistic missile is well explained by the Kepler's laws. It implies that the remaining trajectory of the ballistic missile including its final destination can be easily predicted if the position and velocity vector of the ballistic missile at any point on its path can be exactly known. Hence, an effective tracking algorithm based on an exact radar measurement model is very important for developing Ballistic Missile Defense(BMD) system. In this paper, we address to design a nonlinear filter, Unscented Kalman Filter(UKF), to track the ballistic missile.

  • We present physical parameters of the detached eclipsing binary KIC3858884, which has a d-Scuti type pulsating secondary component. To derive orbital elements from radial-velocity curve, high-resolution Echelle spectra were obtained at the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory in Korea. The BOES spectra and Kepler photometric data were analyzed with JKTEBOP and Wilson-Devinney model for eclipsing light-curve synthesis and Period04 for pulsation frequency analysis. After the iterative curve fitting, we determined physical parameters of KIC3858884 as $M_1=2.02{\pm}0.23M_{\odot}$, $M_2=2.02{\pm}0.16M_{\odot}$, $R_1=3.61{\pm}0.12R_{\odot}$, $R_2=2.84{\pm}0.10R_{\odot}$, respectively.

  • In this paper, we propose an error embedded Runge-Kutta method to improve the traditional embedded Runge-Kutta method. The proposed scheme can be applied into most explicit embedded Runge-Kutta methods. At each integration step, the proposed method is comprised of two equations for the solution and the error, respectively. These solution and error are obtained by solving an initial value problem whose solution has the information of the error at each integration step. The constructed algorithm controls both the error and the time step size simultaneously and possesses a good performance in the computational cost compared to the original method. For the assessment of the effectiveness, the van der Pol equation and another one having a difficulty for the global error control are numerically solved. Finally, a two-body Kepler problem is also used to assess the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
