The pad pitch of modern radio frequency integrated circuits is in the order of few tens of micrometers. Connecting a large number of high-speed I/Os to the outside world with good signal fidelity at low cost is an extremely challenging task. To cope with this requirement, we need reflection-free transmission lines from an on-chip pad to on-board SMA connectors. Such a transmission line is very hard to design due to the difference in on-chip and on-board feature size and the requirement for extremely large bandwidth. In this paper, we propose the use of narrow tracks close to chip and wide tracks away from the chip. This narrow-to-wide transition in width results in impedance discontinuity. A step change in substrate thickness is utilized to cancel the effect of the width discontinuity, thus achieving a reflection-free microstrip. To verify the concept, several microstrips were designed on multilayer FR4 PCB without any additional manufacturing steps. The TDR measurements reveal that the impedance variation is less than 3 ${\Omega}$ for a 50 ${\Omega}$ microstrip and S11 better than -9 dB for the frequency range 1 GHz to 6 GHz when the width changes from 165 ${\mu}m$ to 940 ${\mu}m$, and substrate thickness changes from 100 ${\mu}m$ to 500 ${\mu}m$.

Conjugate heat analysis on a high pressure turbine stage including secondary flow paths has been carried out. The secondary flow paths were designed to be located in front of the nozzle and between the nozzle and rotor domains. Thermal boundary conditions such as empirical based temperature or heat transfer coefficient were specified at nozzle and rotor solid domains. To create heat transfer interface between the nozzle solid domain and the rotor fluid domain, frozen rotor with automatic pitch control was used assuming that there is little temperature variation along the circumferential direction at the nozzle solid and rotor fluid domain interface. The simulation results showed that secondary flow injected from the secondary flow path not only prevents main flow from penetrating into the secondary flow path, but also effectively cools down the nozzle and rotor surfaces. Also thermal barrier coating with different thickness was numerically implemented on the nozzle surface. The thermal barrier coating further reduces temperature gradient over the entire nozzle surface as well as the overall temperature level.

A numerical study is performed to investigate the effect of inner surface roughness and micro-particles on adiabatic single phase frictional pressure drop in a perfect square micro channel. With the variation of particles sizes (0.1 to $1{\mu}m$) and occupied volume ratio (0.01 to 10%) by particles, the Eulerian multi-phase model is applied to a $100{\mu}m$ hydraulic diameter perfect square micro channel in laminar flow region. Frictional pressure loss is affected significantly by particle size than occupied volume ratio by particles. The particle properties like density and coefficient of restitution are investigated with various particle materials and the density of particle is found as an influential factor. Roughness effect on pressure drop in the micro channel is investigated with the consideration of roughness height, pitch, and distribution. Additionally, the combination effect by particles and surface roughness are simulated. The pressure loss in microchannel with 2.5% relative roughness surface can be increased more than 20% by the addition of $0.5{\mu}m$ diameter particles.

Dual-point aerodynamic design optimization is conducted for DLR-F6 wing-body-nacelle-pylon configuration adopting an efficient surface mesh movement method for complex junction geometries. A three-dimensional unstructured Euler solver and its discrete adjoint code are utilized for flow and sensitivity analysis, respectively. Considered design conditions are a low-lift condition and a cruise condition in a transonic regime. Design objective is to minimize drag and reduce shock strength at both flow conditions. Shape deformation is made by variation of the section shapes of inboard wing and pylon, nacelle vertical location and nacelle pitch angle. Hicks-Henne shape functions are employed for deformation of the section shapes of wing and pylon. By the design optimization, drag coefficients were remarkably reduced at both design conditions retaining specified lift coefficient and satisfying other constraints. Two-point design results show mixed features of the one-point design results at low-lift condition and cruise conditions.

In the present study, the dynamic behavior characteristics of an amphibious assault vehicle during water entry were analyzed using STAR-CCM+, a commercial computational fluid dynamics(CFD) code. All computations were performed using an overset mesh system and a RANS based flow-solver coupled with dynamic fluid-body interaction(DFBI) solver for simulating three degrees of freedom motion. For numerical validation of the solver, a water entry simulation of inclined circular cylinder was conducted and it was compared between an existing experiment data and CFD results. The pitch angle variation and the trajectory of the circular cylinder during water entry shows good agreement with previous experimental and numerical studies. For the water entry simulations of the amphibious assault vehicle, the analysis of dynamic behaviors of the amphibious assault vehicle with different slope angles, submerged depths and initial velocities were conducted. It is confirmed that the steep slope angle increases the submerged volume of the amphibious assault vehicle, so the buoyancy acting on the vehicle is increased and the moved distance for the re-flotation is decreased. It is also revealed that the submerged volume is increased, bow-up phenomenon occur earlier.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate geometrical and volumetrical changes of liver due to breathing and its impact to NTCP. In order to attain better treatment results it should be considered deliberately during planning session. Mehtods and Materials : Seven patients were examined in this study who have done TACE for accurate tumor margin drawing. After contrast media injection, C-T scan data were obtained in supine position during breathing free, inhalation and exhalation, respectively. For all patients C-T scan were done with same scanning parameters- 5 mm index, 5 mm thickness and pitch 1. Based on C-T data we have measured differences of each variables between breathing status such as changes of total and remained liver volumes, GTV, beam path length and superior to inferior shift. NTCP were calculated using Lyman's effective volume DVH reduction scheme and for this NTCP calculation, the V50 was computed from DVH and each m, n value were referred from Burmans data. Results : The measured total tilter volume and the remained liver volume changed between inspiration and expiration about $1.2-7.7\%(mean+2.7\%)$ and $2.5-13.23\%(mean=5.8\%)$ respectively, and these results were statistically significant(p>0.1). The GTV difference in each patient varied widely from $1.17\%\;to\;30.69\%$, but this result was not statistically significant. Depending on the breathing status, the beam path length was changed from 0.5 cm to 1.1 cm with the average of 0.7 cm, and it was statistically significant(p=0.006). The measured superior to inferior shifts were ranged from 0.5 cm to 3.74 cm. The NTCPs were changed relatively small in each patient, but the variation was large between the patients. The mean NTCP difference was $10.5\%$, with the variation ranged from $7\%\;to\;23.5\%$. Conclusion : Variations of liver volume and of beam path length were changed significantly depending on the breathing statues and the range of variation itself was very different between the patients. Since this variance could seriously affect the clinical outcomes of radiation treatments, the breathing of patients need to be accounted when a final treatment planning is derided.

전주(Electric Pole)는 전력 송/배전에 사용되는 지지물로 외력 측정을 위해 가속도 센서가 이용된다. 기상현상은 전주의 외력에 다양한 영향을 미친다. 가공전선의 탄성변화가 그중 하나이다. 이러한 이유로 전주에 미치는 기상현상 요인을 모델링 하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 가속도 센서로부터 수신된 데이터는 피치(Pitch)와 롤(Roll) 각도로 변환되어 수신된다. 기상 현상은 변수간 상관관계가 높게 나타나며, 모델링을 위해 유의한 설명변수를 선택하는 것은 과대적합(Over Fitting)의 문제에서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 다중공선성(Multicollinearity)을 고려한 설명력이 높은 모델 구축을 위해 기계학습 방법의 하나인 일반화 가법 모형(Generalized Additive Model)을 사용했다. 모델 구축에 사용된 기상 요인 변수는 온도, 습도, 강수량, 풍속, 풍향, 증기압, 대기압, 노점온도, 일조시간, 일사량, 운량이다. 분산 팽창 요인 검증을 수행한 결과 온도, 강수량, 풍속, 풍향, 대기압, 노점온도, 일조시간, 운량의 변수가 선택됐다. 설명변수중 일조시간, 운량, 대기압의 영향도가 높게 나타났으며, 일반화 가법 모형의 평균 결정계수(R-Squared)는 0.69로 유의한 모델을 구축했다. 구축된 모델은 전주 외력의 영향을 예측하는데 도움이 될 수 있을 것이며, 안전성 확보의 목적에 기여할 수 있을 것이라 생각한다.

Cu pillar 범프를 사용한 플립칩 기술은 솔더범프를 사용한 플립칩 공정에 비해 칩과 기판 사이의 거리를 감소시키지 않으면서 미세피치 접속이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. Cu pillar 범프를 사용한 플립칩 공정은 미세피치화와 더불어 기생 캐패시턴스를 억제하기 위해 칩과 기판 사이에 큰 거리가 요구되는 RF 패키지에서도 유용한 칩 접속공정이다. 본 연구에서는 Sn 캡을 형성한 Cu pillar 범프와 Sn 캡이 없는 Cu pillar 범프를 전기도금으로 형성한 후 플립칩 접속하여 Cu-Sn-Cu 샌드위치 접속구조를 형성하였다. Cu pillar 범프 상에 Sn 캡의 높이를 변화시키며 전기도금한 후, Sn 캡의 높이에 따른 Cu-Sn-Cu 샌드위치 접속구조의 접속저항과 칩 전단하중을 분석하였다. 직경 $25\;{\mu}m$, 높이 $20\;{\mu}m$인 Cu pillar 범프들을 사용하여 형성한 Cu-Sn-Cu 샌드위치 접속구조에서 $10{\sim}25\;{\mu}m$ 범위의 Sn 캡 높이에 무관하게 칩과 기판 사이의 거리는 $44\;{\mu}m$으로 유지되었으며, 접속부당 $14\;m{\Omega}$의 평균 접속저항을 나타내었다.
