A new type of dye-sensitized solar cells(DSCs) based on Ti-mesh electrode without using TCO layer is fabricated for high-efficient and low-cost solar cell application. The TCO-Iess DSCs sample is composed of a [glass/ dye sensitized $TiO_2$ layer/ Ti-mesh electrode/ electrolyte/ metal counter electrode]. The Ti-mesh electrode with high conductivity can collect electrons from the $TiO_2$ layer and allows the ionic diffusion of $I^-/I_3{^-}$ through the mesh hole. Thin Ti-mesh (${\sim}40{\mu}m$ in thickness) electrode material is processed using rapid prototype method. Electrical performance of as-fabricated DSCs is presented and discussed in detail.

Knowledge of the complex biomechanical behavior of the human mandible is of great importance in various clinical situations. Various approaches can be used to evaluate the physical behavior of bone. In this study, we developed the voxel mesh program(Bionix) and generated FE models of mandible using Bionix and using handmade work and compared them with free vibration results derived from finite element analysis(FEA). The data of FE models based on DICOM File exported from Computed tomography(CT). Comparing the two models, we found a good correlation about mode type and natural frequency. The voxel based finite element mesh is a valid and accurate method to predict parameters of the complex biomechanical behavior of human mandibles.

In this study, precision injection molding analysis for BGA connector fabrication was performed. A BGA connector model with rectangular micro-holes were introduced to investigate the effect of mirco patterns on the injection molding process. Dual domain(2.5D) mesh and full 3D mesh for BGA connector model were prepared to perform precision injection molding analysis. To verify the Present analysis, experiments of injection molding were performed based on the results of the analysis. It was shown that the type of mesh has a significant effect on the flow pattern of BGA connector

Typical materials including concrete behaves with positive poisson's ratio when external force is applied. However, it is also available to manufacture a grating system which has negative poisson's ratio(Auxetic). In this study, double arrow type 2-D auxetic mesh was manufactured and mechanical behaviors were observed. Also, direct tensile tests of cementitious composites reinforced by auxetic mesh were performed and the results were compared with composites reinforced by typical mesh. The results showed that auxetic mesh more effectively restrained the deformation(shortening) of cementitious composites perpendicular to the load direction comparing with typical mesh.

Most of chloride diffusion models based on finite difference method (FDM) could not express the diffusion in horizontal direction at each elevation. To overcome these weakness, two dimensional chloride ion penetration model based on finite element method (FEM) to be able to combine various multi-physics simultaneously was suggested by introducing moving mesh technique. To avoid the generation of mesh being able to be distorted depending on the relative movement of water level to static concrete, a rectangular type of mesh was intentionally adopted and the total number of meshes was empirically selected. The simulated results showed that the contents of surface chloride decreased following to the increase of elevation in the top part of low sea level, whereas there were no changes in the bottom part of low level. In the DuraCrete model, the diffusion coefficient of splashed zone is generally smaller than submerged zone, whereas the trend of Life365 model is reverse. Therefore, it could be understood that the developed model using moving mesh technique effectively reflects $DuraCrete^{TM}$ model rather than $Life365^{TM}$ model. In the future, the model will be easily expanded to be combined with various multi-physics models considering water evaporation, heat of hydration, irradiation effect of sun and so on because it is based on FEM.

The present work focuses on experimental and numerical performance of the ferrocement RC walls reinforced with welded steel mesh, expanded steel mesh, fiber glass mesh and tensar mesh individually. The experimental program comprised twelve RC walls having the dimensions of 450 mm×100 mm×1000 mm under concentric compression loadings. The studied variables are the type of reinforcing materials, the number of mesh layers and volume fraction of reinforcement. The main aim is to assess the influence of engaging the new inventive materials in reinforcing the composite RC walls. Non-linear finite element analysis; (NLFEA) was carried out to simulate the behavior of the composite walls employing ANSYS-10.0 Software. Parametric study is also demonstrated to check out the variables that can mainly influence the mechanical behavior of the model such as the change of wall dimensions. The obtained numerical results indicated the acceptable accuracy of FE simulations in the estimation of experimental values. In addition, the strength gained of specimens reinforced with welded steel mesh was higher by amount 40% compared with those reinforced with expanded steel mesh. Ferrocement specimens tested under axial compression loadings exhibit superior ultimate loads and energy absorbing capacity compared to the conventional reinforced concrete one.

An inverse finite element approach is employed for more capability to design the optimum blank shape from the desired final shape with small amount of computation time and effort. In some drawing or stamping simulation with inverse method, it is difficult to apply inverse scheme due to the large aspect ratio or steep vertical angle of inclination. The reason is that initial guesses are hard to make out with present method for those cases. In this paper, a direct mesh marring scheme to generate initial guess on the sliding constraint surface described by finite element patches is suggested for one step inverse analysis to calculate initial blank shape. Radial type mapping is adopted for the simulation of rectangular cup drawing process with large aspect ratio and parallel type mapping for the simulation of S-Rail forming process with steep vertical angle of inclination.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the titanium castability with a spin type casting machine(TiCast, Super R, Selec, Osaka. Japan). We tested phosphate bonded investment "Rematitan$^{(R)}$Plus(Dentaurum, Inc., Pforzheim, Germany)"of mesh grid pattern and plate pattern. Four different mold temperatures(room temperature, 200$^{\circ}C$, 400$^{\circ}C$ and 600$^{\circ}C$) were prepared for the present study. In mesh grid pattern with spruing of $\varphi$0.88㎜ dimeter, when the mold temperature increased, high percentage of castability was gained. Mold temperature showed a highly significant(p<0.05) correlation on the castability, In plate pattern, the higher the mold temperature during casting, the greater the adhesive phenomenon between Ti surface and the investment.

This study demonstrates hybrid-type transparent electrodes for touch screen panels. The hybrid-type electrodes were fabricated by coating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on metal meshes. For the formation of metal meshes, thin films of silver (Ag) were deposited on glass substrates using a sputtering method and then pattenrned via photolithography to obtain mesh structures of which line width was $10{\mu}m$ and line-to-line spacing was $300{\mu}m$. CNTs were coated on Ag meshes by using electrophoretic deposition (EPD). For the samples of Ag meshes with/without CNTs, their surface morphologies, visible-range transmittances, and reflectances were characterized and compared. The experimental results indicated that the reflectance of Ag mesh electrodes was substantially reduced by coating of CNTs. Especially, the hybrid electrodes of Ag meshes with EPD-coated CNTs showed excellent properties such as transmittance higher than 90%, reflectance lower than 8%.
