  • The design composition elements and the mechanical behavior of trusses have been investigated for Pratt trusses. As a result, it was determined that the design composition elements of the trusses consist of the composition of webs, the distance between joints, the chords profile, the depth of the truss, and the double chord composition. In addition, by analyzing models with a variation of elements, comprehensive features of structural behavior have been presented for variations of design of Pratt trusses. This is to provide more effective and useful design information on truss structure in the architectural and structural planning stage.

  • The outfitting design of ships and offshore structures is mainly undertaken in a restricted space. Pipes occupying a large portion of outfitting design are normally manufactured outside the shipyard. This complicated manufacturing process results in frequent delivery delays. Inevitable design modifications and material changes have also resulted in inefficient pipe installation works. In this study, an algorithm is proposed to systematically determine the pipe installation sequence. An accurate and fast algorithm to identify the geometric relationship of piping materials is presented. To improve the calculation efficiency, the interference is gradually examined from simplified to complicated shapes. It is demonstrated that the calculation efficiency is significantly improved with successive geometric operations such as back-face culling and use of bounding boxes. After the final installation sequence is determined, the entire installation process is visualized in a virtual reality environment so that the process can be rendered and understood for a full-scale model.

  • Three fully dehydrated fully Rb+-exchanged zeolite A single crystals have been prepared by the reduction of all Na+ ions in dehydrated Na12-A by rubidium vapor at various experimental conditions (220 $\leq$ T $\leq$ 33$0^{\circ}C$, 2 $\leq$ t $\leq$24 hours, and 0.1 $\leq$ PRb $\leq$ 1.1 Torr). Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods in the space group {{{{ RHO }}m3m (a=12.245(3) A) at 22(1)$^{\circ}C$. In these structures 12.6(2) to 13.5(2) Rb species are found per unit cell, more than the 12 Rb+ ions needed to balance the anionic charge of the zeolite framework, indication that the sorption of Rb0 has occurred. In each structure, three Rb+ ions per unit cell are located at the centers of 8-rings. Beyond that, the fractional occupancies observed are simply explained by two unit cell arrangments. In one, two Rb+ ions are in the sodalite unit near opposite 6-rings, six are in the large cavity near 6-ring, and one is in the large cavity near a 4-ring. In the other, three Rb species in the sodalite cavity (forming a triangle 3.7 A on an edge) each bond (3.4 A) through a 6-ring to an Rb species in the large cavity to give an (Rb6)4+ cluster of symmetry 3m (C3V). Five additional Rb+ ions fill the remaining large-cavity 6-ring sites.

  • Active optics is a key technology for future large-aperture space telescopes. In the design of deformable mirrors for space applications, the design parameter trade-off between the number of regularly configured actuators and the correction capability is essential but rarely analyzed, due to the lack of design legacy. This paper presents a parametric module method for integrated modeling of deformable mirrors with regularly configured actuators. A full design parameter space is explored to evaluate the correction capability and the mass of deformable mirrors, using an autoconstructed finite-element parametric modeling method that utilizes manual finite-element meshing for complex structures. These results are used to provide design guidelines for deformable mirrors. The integrated modeling method presented here can be used for future applied optics projects.

  • High resolution $^{12}CO$ observations of the region containing the planetary nebula Hb12 were made with the Nobeyama Radio Telescope. These observations reveal that there is no significant CO emission from Hb 12 itself. Near Hb 12, however, the observed regions show a structure of clustered dark clouds whose physical parameters suggest that these clumps would be further fragmented or collapesed. Also found with the high resolution observations is that a few isolated clumps are located away from the main CO feature extended possibly from the galactic plane. For more detail morphologies and velocity structures of the clumps, especially in relation to the large CO complex to which these are likely to be associated, more observations are substantiated.

  • Habitability is one of the most important points when a passenger ship is cruising. In particular, anti-vibration design should be considered preferentially to offer passenger a comfort cabin and leisure space. But, a passenger ship is different from a general commercial ship in the view point of the structural arrangement. It is restricted within narrow limits to reinforce wide panels and local structures of a passenger ship because of its interior design. Moreover, the allowable vibratory limits for a passenger ship are much lower than those of a commercial ship. In this study are introduced the procedure of the vibration analysis, the structural improvement method for prevention of vibration and the results of vibration measurement during exciter test and sea trials.

  • Ventilation and fire safety design in road tunnels are one of the most complex issues that need to be carefully considered and analysed in the designing stage of any potential upgrade of ventilation and other fire safety systems in tunnels. Placement road tunnels space has an important influence on fire safety, especially when considering the effect of adverse wind conditions that significantly influence ventilation characteristics. The appropriate analysis of fire and smoke control is almost impossible without the use of modern simulation tools (e.g., CFD) due to a large number of influential parameters and consequently extensive data. The impact of the strong wind is briefly presented in this paper in the case of a longitudinally ventilated road tunnel Kastelec, which is exposed to various severe wind conditions that significantly influence its fire safety. The possibility of using CFD simulations in the analysis of the tunnel placement in space terms negative effect of wind influence on the tunnel ventilation is clearly indicated.

  • Reduction of number of actuators for independent modal space control In this paper, a new modified independent modal space control (IMSC), which relaxes the fundamental hardware limitation of IMSC, is suggested to handle the vibration and attitude control problem for flexible large structures. This method has adapted a new switching algorithm between controlled modes and a novel design technique for modal control force. The main advantage of this method is to minimize the discontinuity of the modal control forces and to assure the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop systems. This process is shown to be simple and efficient in a realistic example of vibration control of a cantiloever beam. It has been found that the modified IMSC suggested in this paper, which can reduce the number of actuators, is highly excellent compared to other previous methods in terms of the performance and stability of the vibration control systems.

  • Among other critical conditions in rotor svstems the large non-linearvibration excited by bearing non-linearity causes the rotor failure. For reducing thiscatastrophic failure and predictive analysis of this phenomena the identificationanalysis of bearing non-linearity in an anisotropic rotor system using the higherorder dFRFs are developed and are shown to be theoretically feasible as innon-rotating structures. For the identification of the anisotropic rotor withanisotropic bearing non-linearity expressed by the displacement in polynomial form,the higher order dFRFs based upon the Volterra series are investigated and depicttheir features by using the simple forms of the normal and reverse dFRFs. Theyproduce additional sub-harmonic resonant peaks, which indicate the existence ofhigher order non-linearties, and show the energy transfer such that the modes fornormal and reuerse dFRFs are exchanged, which are the fundamental differencesfrom what we can expect in linear ones.
