  • Research about spherical shells been applying most usually is achieved by many investigators already and generalized equation has been derived. But, existent research is limited in case that spherical shell's roof rigidity is isotropy or orthotropy, and research that consider periodicity of rigidity-distribution that can happen by doing spherical shell's roof system by lattice system is not gone entirely. The purpose of this paper is applying Galerkin method to spherical shell that model periodicity of roof rigidity distribution that appear by roof lattice form of large space structure and develop structural analysis program that formularize. Rigidity-model of this research selects that of spherical shell which has 2-way grid. In this paper, buckling-strength and deformation distribution of isotopic spherical shell and 2-way grid spherical shell obtained by developed program could confirm the reliability by comparison with result of existent research.

  • The moving least square (MLS) basis is implemented for the real-space band-structure calculation of 2D photonic crystals. The value-periodic MLS shape function is thus used in order to represent the periodicity of crystal lattice. Any periodic function can properly be reproduced using this shape function. Matrix eigenequations, derived from the macroscopic Maxwell equations, are then solved to obtain photonic band structures. Through numerical examples of several lattice structures, the MLS-based method is proved to be a promising scheme for predicting band gaps of photonic crystals.

  • We model lattice-mismatched group III-V semiconductor $In_{x}Ga_{1-x}$ alloys with the three-parameter anharmonic Kirkwood-Keating potential, which includes realistic distortion effect by introducing anharmonicity. Although the potential parameters were determined based on optical properties of the binary parent alloys InAs and GaAs, simulated dielectric functions, reflectance, and Raman spectra of alloys agree excellently with experimental data for any arbitrary atomic composition. For a wide range of atomic composition, InAs- and GaAs-bond retain their respective properties of binary parent crystals despite lattice and charge mismatch. It implies that use of the anharmonic Kirkwood-Keating potential may provide an optimal model system to investigate diverse and unique optical properties of quantum dot heterostructures by circumventing potential parameter searches for particular local structures.

  • This short communication reports on the experiment which demonstrates that superhard nanostructured films with hardness of about 40 GPa and greater can be composed not only of two or more nanocrystalline and/or amorphous phases of different materials, as it is in the case of nanocomposite coatings, but also that can be formed by a mixture of small (<10 nm) nanocrystalline grains of the same material with different crystallographic orientation and/or lattice structures. This finding opens new possibilities to develop advanced nanostructured materials with enhanced physical and functional properties.

  • Composite lattice structures are tried to be used in various fields because of its benefit in physical properties. With increase of demand of the composite lattice structure, nondestructive testing technology is also required to certificate the quality of the manufactured structures. Recently, research on the development of the composite lattice structure in Republic of Korea was started and accordingly, fast and accurate non-destructive evaluation technology was needed to finalize the manufacturing process. This paper studied non-destructive testing methods for composite lattice structure using laser ultrasonic propagation imaging systems. Pulse-echo ultrasonic propagation imaging system was able to inspect a rib structure wrapped with a skin structure. To reduce the time of inspection, a band divider, which can get signal in different frequency bands at once, was developed. Its performance was proved in an aluminum sandwich panel. In addition, to increase a quality of results, curvature compensating algorithm was developed. On the other hand, guided wave ultrasonic propagation imaging system was applied to inspect delamination in a rib structure. To increase an area of inspection, multi-source ultrasonic wave propagation image was applied, and defects were successfully highlighted with variable time window amplitude mapping algorithm. These imply that ultrasonic propagation imaging systems provides fast and accurate non-destructive testing results for composite lattice structure in a stage of the manufacturing process.

  • It is well known that a Boolean algebra is one of the most important algebra for engineering. A fuzzy algebra, which is referred to also as a Kleen algebra, is obtained from a Boolean algebra by replacing the complementary law in the axioms of a Bloolean algebra with the Kleen's law, where the Kleen's law is a weaker condition than the complementary law. Removal of the Kleen's law from a Kleen algebra gives a De Morgan algebra. In this paper, we generate lattice structures of the above related algebraic systems having finite elements by using a computer. From the result, we could find out a hypothesis that the structure excepting for each element name between a Kleene algebra and a De Morgan algebra is the same from the lattice standpoint.

  • In this paper, some kinds of (skew) filters are defined and are studied in residuated skew lattices. Some relations are got between these filters and quotient algebras constructed via these filters. The Green filter is defined which establishes a connection between residuated lattices and residuated skew lattices. It is investigated that relationships between Green filter and other types of filters in residuated skew lattices and the relationship between residuated skew lattice and other skew structures are studied. It is proved that for a residuated skew lattice, skew Hilbert algebra and skew G-algebra are equivalent too.

  • Responding to the threat of terrorist attacks around the world, numerous studies have been conducted to search for new methods of vulnerability assessment and protective technologies for critical infrastructure under extreme bomb blasts or high velocity impacts. In this paper, a two-dimensional behavioral rate dependent lattice model (RDLM) capable of analyzing reinforced concrete members subjected to blast and impact loading is presented. The model inherently takes into account several major influencing factors: the progressive cracking of concrete in tension, the inelastic response in compression, the yielding of reinforcing steel, and strain rate sensitivity of both concrete and steel. A computer code using the explicit algorithm was developed based on the proposed lattice model. The explicit code along with the proposed numerical model was validated using experimental test results from the Woomera blast trial.

  • Study of flow behavior within rod bundles has been an active topic. Surface modification technologies are important parts of the design of the fourth generation reactor, which can increase the strength of the secondary flow within the rod bundle lattices. Quasi-periodic large-scale vortex structure (QLVS) is introduced by arranging micro ribs on the surface of rod bundles, which enhanced the scale of the secondary flow between the rod bundle lattices. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and water experiments, the flow field distribution and drag coefficient of the rod-bundle lattices are studied. The secondary flow between the micro-ribbed rod-bundle lattice is significantly enhanced compared to the standard rod-bundle lattice. The numerical simulation results agree well with the experimental results.

  • In the present study, preliminary experimental results of the change in the properties of perovskite-type oxides caused by the $^{18}O$- exchange have been reported. Two systems were selected for the exchange, (1) $ATiO_3$(A=Ca,Sr,Ba) and (2) manganese perovskite. The dielectric properties of isotope-exchanged $SrTi^{18}O_3$showed a drastic change from a quantum paraelectricity below 3K to ferroelectric-like behavior with a peak at 23K and an enhanced dielectric constant, 35000 at the peak. On the contrary, the $T_c$ for $BaTiO_3$was found to increase by 0.9K. The observed isotope shift of $T_c$ as well as $T_co$ for the manganese perovskites is correlated with the key parameters controlling the lattice such as $Mn^{3+}$ content, average ionic radius of the A-site cation <$r_A$> ad A-site ionic disorder $\sigma^2$.
