A large scale resonant column testing equipment is under development. The would-be equipment is aiming to test 150mm-diameter specimens, which can contain as large a grain size as 25mm. Such a large specimen is hardly excitated with the existing fixed-free end condition because the torsional force cannot be effectively coupled to the specimen. The specimen will be rather resonated with free-free condition and the scheme is implemented with a rotational bearing installed between coil-magnet exciter and base pedestal. Presently the equipment was assembled and is under calibration with a cylindrical brass specimen.

The position of each part of the Ten storied pagoda of Gyeongcheonsa has been changed because of illegal dismantlement and assembling throughout the history. There remain carved letters in the part of pagoda, which let us know the incorrect assembling of the parts, however, we still don't know the reasons. The pagoda has been under conservation process by the conservators from Conservation Science Division in the National Research Institute of Cultural Properties. It is one of the main purposes to find an original structure of the pagoda by appropriate assembling. The existence of iconography and carved letters are very useful in the conservation process. Mis-assembled parts are mostly in the pedestal of the Chinese letter('아') and in the bodies up to third floor. The iconography of the pagoda has many similarities to the Ten storied pagoda of Wongaksaji.

Because ships and offshore structures have very large dimensions and complicated shapes, it is difficult to determine the deformation or internal stress in the structure by simple lab tests. Thus, a rigorous analysis by using the computer simulation technology is essential for obtaining their distortions by considering the entire production process characteristics. The rapid development of computer technology made it possible to analyze the heat transfer phenomena, deformation and phase transformation in the welded joint. For large shell structures, shell elements modeling contributed primarily to this development. But if a welding is done by multi-pass, shell elements whose thickness are unchangeable can hard to describe the local situation. Recently, it was researched how to introduce the imaginary temperature for V grooved multi-layer butt welding in strain-boundary method (a kind of shrinkage methodologies). In the present study, we formulated the imaginary temperature for the double bevel and double V groove by considering the thickness change of each pass through the bead and the thickness directions simultaneously and also demonstrated the feasibility of the formula by applying it to the thermal distortion analysis of the erection process of crane pedestal.

A refractometric glucose biosensor incorporating a vertically coupled microring resonator in polymers was proposed and realized. The ring was covered with a target analyte of glucose solution with a certain concentration, so that its effective refractive index could be altered and, as a result, the resonance wavelength of the sensor was shifted. Therefore the concentration of the glucose solution can be estimated by observing the shift in the resonance wavelength. Two schemes were exploited for enhancing the sensitivity of the sensor. First, the effective refractive index of the polymeric waveguide used for the resonator sensor was adjusted to approach that of the target analyte as best as possible. Second, the ring waveguide, which serves as a crucial sensing part, was appropriately over-etched to enlarge its contact area with the analyte. The proposed resonator sensor was designed with the beam propagation method. The refractive indices of the core and cladding polymer involved were 1.430 and 1.375 respectively, leading to the waveguide's effective refractive index of ${\sim}1.390$, which is faiirly close to that of the glucose solution of ${\sim}1.333$. The prepared ring resonator with the $400-{\mu}m$ radius exhibited the free spectral range of 0.66 nm, the bandwidth of 0.15 nm, and the quality factor of 10,000. For the sensor operating at 1,550 nm wavelength, the achieved sensitivity was as great as 0.28 pm/(mg/dL), which is equivalent to 200 nm/RIU.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), in collaboration with the University of Hawaii (UH), is upgrading Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) by replacing its principal, 65 cm aperture telescope with a modern, off-axis 1.6 m clear aperture instrument from a 1.7 m blank. The new telescope offers a significant incremental improvement in ground-based infrared and high angular resolution capabilities, and enhances our continuing program to understand photospheric magneto-convection and chromospheric dynamics. These are the drivers for what is broadly called space weather - an important problem, which impacts human technologies and life on earth. This New Solar Telescope (NST) will use the existing BBSO pedestal, pier and observatory building, which will be modified to accept the larger open telescope structure. It will be operated together with our 10 inch (for larger field-of-view vector magnetograms, Ca II K and Ha observations) and Singer-Link (full disk H$\alpha$, Ca II K and white light) synoptic telescopes. The NST optical and software control design will be similar to the existing SOLARC (UH) and the planned Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) facility led by the National Solar Observatory (NSO) - all three are off-axis designs. The NST will be available to guest observers and will continue BBSO's open data policy. The polishing of the primary will be done in partnership with the University of Arizona Mirror Lab, where their proof-of-concept for figuring 8 m pieces of 20 m nighttime telescopes will be the NST's primary mirror. We plan for the NST's first light in late 2005. This new telescope will be the largest aperture solar telescope, and the largest aperture off-axis telescope, located in one of the best observing sites. It will enable new, cutting edge science. The scientific results will be extremely important to space weather and global climate change research.

Recently, the use of composite materials in the defense system has grown dramatically. The strength/weight and stiffness/weight ratios of composite structures are normally higher than of metals. Woven composites, especially, are increasingly considered for a variety of applications, because they offer good workability for complicated structures. HPW193/RS1222 is one of the most famous woven composites and has been used in many types of Korean military equipment, such as antenna pedestals and radar systems. In this study, we predicted the elastic modulus of HPW193/RS1222 using the principles of unidirectional composite stiffness predictions, such as ROM (Rule of Mixture), HSR (Hart Smith 10% Rule), CLA (Classical Laminate Analysis) and LAP (Laminate Analysis Program). We compared the dynamic characteristics with the experimental predictions and finite-element analysis (FEA). From our results we concluded that transversely isotropic materials are similar to isotropic materials when the shape of the composite structure is complicated.
