As one of validation tool for attitude determination system, we have used various constraints using priori information which is known through base vector set up. However these conventional constraints cannot guarantee validity in terms of final solutions such as Euler angle. So we suggest attitude boundary concept to verify the final attitude solution on the flying airplane, it is based on the combination of velocity based attitude estimation technique and ambiguity resolution. we can say it can check invalid solution effectively at just one epoch without repeatability test of resolved cycle ambiguity. In this paper we show that the suggested constraint can effectively reject incorrectly resolved cycle ambiguity the conventional constraints have missed.

For the aeroelastic analysis of a wing with friction damping, coupled time integration method was used to obtain time responses in the subsonic and transonic regions. To take into account aerodynamic nonlinearity induced by shock wave on the lifting surface, transonic small disturbance equation with in-phase periodic boundary condition was used for unsteady aerodynamic calculation. For 2-DOF airfoil system with displace-dependent friction dampers, the effects of normal load slope and Mach number on flutter boundary were investigated.

The aim of this study is to investigate the change of bending strength and fatigue strength in the unpoled and poled Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 ferroelectrics of tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary (MPM) and rhombohedral com-position in terms of internal stress which is measured by XRD method. Before poling treatment the highest bending strength was found in rhombohedral composition. After poling treatment the bending strength decreas-ed in all compositions but it decreased most remarkably in tetragonal composition. The most prominent de-crease of bending strength after poling treatment in tetragonal was attributed to the occurrence of microcracks due to highanisotropic internal stress around grain boundary which was induced of bending strength after poling in MPB and rhombohedral composition was not due to the occurrence of microcracks but to the increase in tensile internal stress perpendicular to the direction of crack propagation by domain alignment. Fatigue strength was higher before poling treatment than after poling treatment for various compositions.

For pure Molybdenum carburized in mixed gases of argon and carbon monoxide, microstructural observations were carried out. X-ray diffraction analysis for carburized specimens revealed that brittle ${\alpha}-Mo_2C$- layer hardly formed in the case of low carbon monoxide concentration. Fracture strength of the specimen carburized at 1673 K for 16 h is about 550 MPa higher than that of the un-carburized specimen. SEM observation revealed that with increasing carburizing temperature, the region demonstrating a transgranular fracture mode progressed towards the center of specimen. This result means that the grain boundaries were strengthened by the grain boundary diffusion of carbon and the strength of grain boundaries exceeded that of grain itself.

An exact wave-optics analysis of wave propagation in thin-film optical waveguide using gyrotropic materials as the substrate or film of the guide is presented for the first time. Based on the Maxwell's equations and the boundary conditions of the guide, the field composition and the boundary conditions of the guide, the field composition and the phase velocity for the eigenmodes of the guide are determined. The field patterns of the guided waves are shown for the eigenmodes of the guides. The present analysos allows a new interpretation in the mode conversion of the thin-film optical waveguides.

The strengths of the inter-grain exchange interaction were evaluated for nanocrystalline $Nd_{2.33}Fe_{14}B_{1.06}Si_{0.21}$ magnets of different grain size by comparing the $_{i}H_{c}$ calculated by micromagnetics with the experiments. With increase of the grain boundary thickness to that of the magnet of grain diameter 12.4, 24.8, 37.2 and 49.6 nm, the strengh of the interaction in reference to that without the grain boundary phase decreases to 83％, 69％, 54％ and 42％.

In this paper, we propose a modified Viterbi algorithm to compensate for endpoint detection error during the decoding phase of an isolated word recognition task. Since the conventional Viterbi algorithm explores only the search space whose boundaries are fixed to the endpoints of the segmented utterance by the endpoint detector, the recognition performance is highly dependent on the accuracy level of endpoint detection. Inaccurately segmented word boundaries lead directly to recognition error. In order to relax the degradation of recognition accuracy due to endpoint detection error, we describe an unconstrained search of word boundaries and present an algorithm to explore the search space with efficiency. The proposed algorithm was evaluated by performing a variety of simulated endpoint detection error cases on an isolated word recognition task. The proposed algorithm reduced the Word Error Rate (WER) considerably, from 84.4% to 10.6%, while consuming only a little more computation power.

Cast duplex stainless steels are extensively used for primary pressure boundary components. These components are, however, embrittled due to the precipitation of $\alpha$' phase by spinodal decomposition and other processes when exposed to reactor operating temperature for a design lifetime or life extension conditions. This report presents a procedure for estimating the current condition and the residual life of safety-related stainless steel components by using ANL database and correlations. The database of Charpy impact energy suggests that CF-8M grade is the most susceptible to thermal aging and CF-3 grade is the least. Thus, the integrity of CF-8M alleys may be degraded seriously and the degree of deterioration may exceed acceptance limit after several years of service in the nuclear reactors.

Imperfectly jointed interface serves as mechanical waveguide for elastic waves and gives rise to two distinct kinds of guided wave propagating along the interface. Contact acoustic nonlinearity (CAN) is known to plays major role in the generation of these interface waves called generalized Rayleigh waves in non-welded interface. Closed crack is modeled as non-welded interface that has nonlinear discontinuity condition in displacement across its boundary. Mathematical analysis of boundary conditions and wave equation is conducted to investigate the dispersive characteristics of the interface waves. Existence of the generalized Rayleigh wave(interface wave) in nonlinear contact interface is verified in theory where the dispersion equation for the interface wave is formulated and analyzed. It reveals that the interface waves have two distinct modes and that the phase velocity of anti-symmetric wave mode is highly dependent on contact conditions represented by linear and nonlinear dimensionless specific stiffness.

The magnetic properties of the hot-pressed magnets made from the Fe-Nd-B alloys, mechanically ground and subsequently blended with binary additives such as Al-Cu and Ag-Zn before hot pressing, were investigated. The coercivities of the magnets increased as the concentration of Al-Cu increased up to 1 wt.% or up to 3 wt.% in the case of Ag-Zn. At higher concentrations the coercivities decreased markedly. The maximum gain in coercivity by the addition was about 20 %. typical values of $_{i}H_{c}$ and $B_{r}$ of a hotpressed magnet containing 1 wt.% Al-Cu were 18 kOe and 7 kG, respectively. It was found that Cu, Ag, and Zn, which diffused into the magnet during hot pressing, were mostly concentrated on the Nd-rich grain boundary phase whereas Al was present not only in the grain boundary region but also in the matrix grains.
