The tensegrity structure by prestressed cable, which may have large freedom in scale and form and therefore are received much attention from the view points of their light weight and aesthetics, is a very flexible and geometrically unstable structure because the cable material has little initial rigidity. For the stable self-equilibrated state of the usually very deformable structure, the method to find the optimal initial stress by the shape analysis is proposed in this paper. The proposed procedure is to derive the nonlinear finite element formula of cable and truss members considering geometric nonlinearity and used to modified load incremental method adding to Newton-Raphson method with the proposed condition for optimal initial stress. The result of the shape analysis for the tensegrity structure with the radius of 30m is shown the almost approximated shape to architectural shape and the changed procedure of initial stress

Flexible displays such as plastic-based liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diode displays (OLEDDs) have been researched and developed at KETI since 1997. The plastic film substrate is very weak to heat and pressure compared to glass substrate, that its fabrication process is limited to 110$^{\circ}C$ and low pressure. The ITO films were deposited on the bare plastic film substrate by rf-magnetron sputtering. Moreover, in order to maintain uniform cell gap and pressure on the plastic film substrate, we utilized newly-invented jig and fabrication process. Electro-optical characteristics were better than or equivalent to those of typical glass LCDs though it is thinner, lighter-weight, and more robust than glass LCDs.

Existing construction materials such as concrete and steel have chronic problems; deterioration and corrosion. Owing to its special features of light weight ‘ high durability, anti-corrosion, composite material used in civil infrastructure can not only solve fundamental problems of deterioration and corrosion, but also reduce both construction and maintenance cost significantly. After the fabrication of deck panel with snap-fit connection by pultrusion through composite design according to stacking sequence of composite laminates and structural analysis, performance of decks will be verified and evaluated by structural tests.

The ceramic has such high qualities as light weight, abrasion resistance, heat resistance compared with metal, but since it is breakable, it can't be used as structural material and it is desirable to joining metal which is full of toughness, but, according as the ceramic/metal joint is executed at high temperature, the joint residual stress develops near the joint sides in the process of cooling the high temperature down to the suitable temperature due to difference of the thermal expansion coefficient between ceramic and metal, and the joint residualstress lowers the fracture strength. In this study, to ensure security and improvement of bending strength, 1 studies on see distribution shape of residual stress according to high thermal cycle, and the influnence of theraml cycle and distribution shape of residual stess on joint-strength.

Magnesium alloys are one of light weight material. Strength and stiffness of Magnesium alloys are enough to use for commercial product. Demand for strong, lightweight parts several computer and electronics have driven much of Magnesium injection molding's growth so far. And it is eighth most abundant resource on earth. In electronic device, electromagnetic interface and electrostatic discharge can affect performance. Magnesium injection molding is similar to normal plastic injection molding process. But some process condition is different. Especially injection speed and process temperature are so differs from other injection molding system. It just start for make something. But Magnesium injection molding is one of best alternate process for producing metal alloy part.

First, the effect of the geometry such as the curved shape of the struts composing the truss structure of WBK is elaborated. Then, analytic solutions for the material properties of WBK and the maximum loads of a WBK-cored sandwich panel under bending are derived. A design optimization with the face sheet thickness and the core height selected as the design variables is presented for given slenderness ratios of the WBK core. Unless the face sheet thickness is limited, the optimal design to give the maximum load per weight is always found at a confluence of three failure modes, namely, face sheet yielding, indentation plastic, and core shear modeB plastic.

Owing to its special features of light weight, high durability, corrosion-resistant, composite material used in civil infrastructure can not only solve fundamental problems of deterioration and corrosion, but also reduce both construction and maintenance cost significantly. Composite deck panels of 스냅핏 type connection previously designed and fabricated have been redesigned herein. The sensitivity of gaps between snap-fits and tip angles was investigated. Stacking sequence of plies was scrutinized in order to facilitate pultrusion process. Deck panels of redesigned configuration due to bending has been analyzed. A comparison between the preliminary and modified deck design has been made.

The purpose of this study is to investigate a investigating of a floor-impact isolation system using damping materials in apartment buildings. The stiffness elastic modulus(k) by puls impact forces were calculated loss factor by Hilbert transforms. It is absolved that natural frequency was moved floor shock-absorbing materials and the impact force was reduced by floor panel. The slab was constructed by damping materials. As towards a result, the system showed inverse A 45dB by heavy weight-impact noise and inverse A 52dB by light-impact noise. High frequencies impact-noise can be reduced by upgrading naturial frequency of vibration and noise in the system.

For the purpose of finding out the sound field characteristics in a rectangular cavity, analytical and experimental studies are performed with white noise input. Two-microphone impedance tube method is used to measure the impedances of foamed aluminum. Foamed aluminum is well known metallic porous material which has excellent properties of light weight and high absorbing performance. And predicted impedances of foamed aluminum are compared with measured impedances. The predicted acoustical parameters are applied to the theoretical analysis to predict sound pressure field in the cavity. The measured sound absorption effects are compared with the predicted values for both cases with and without foamed aluminum lining in the cavity of the rectangular enclosure.

Hydraulic vane pumps are widely used in various hydraulic systems because of its compactness and light weight. It is well known that the vanes and cam ring are separated by very thin liquid films which result in the EHL state. Contrary to the case of cylindrical roller bearings, the inlet and side boundary pressures are much higher than the atmospheric pressure. In this paper, a numerical solution of the EHL of finite line contacts between the cam ring and vane tip with profiled ends is presented. Using a finite difference method with non-uniform grids and the Newton-Raphson method, converged solutions are obtained for moderate load and material parameters. The EHL pressure distribution and film shape are considerably affected by pump delivery pressure and the side boundary condition applied. Both the maximum pressure and the minimum film thickness always occurred near the edge regions. The present results can be used in the design of optimum vane profile in hydraulic vane pump.
