  • In this paper, the effect of different steel bar configurations on the quasi-static punching and impact response of concrete slabs was studied. A total of forty RC square slab specimens were cast in two groups of concrete strengths of 40 and 63 MPa. In each group of twenty specimens, ten specimens were reinforced at the back face (singly reinforced), and the remaining specimens were reinforced on both faces of the slab (doubly reinforced). Two rebar spacing of 25 and 100 mm, with constant reinforcement ratio and effective depth, were used in both singly and doubly reinforced slab specimens. The specimens were tested against the normal impact of cylindrical projectiles of hemispherical nose shape. Slabs were also quasi-statically tested in punching using the same projectile, which was employed for the impact testing. The experimental response illustrates that 25 mm spaced rebars are effective in (i) decreasing the local damage and overall penetration depth, (ii) increasing the absorption of impact energy, and (iii) enhancing the ballistic limit of RC slabs. The ballistic limit was predicted using the quasi-static punching test results of slab specimens showing a strong correlation between the dynamic perforation energy and the energy required for quasi-static perforation of slabs.

  • In this paper, a four-pole quasi-elliptic function bandpass filter of 1.95GHz center frequency with 60 MHz bandwidth for IMT-2000 using miniaturized square SIR(Stepped Impedance Resonator) is designed and fabricated. The simulation of NUFDTD(Nonuniform Finite Difference Time Domain) is used to design the resonator and to calculate the coupling coefficient of three basic structures. The size reduction of miniaturized square SIR resonator is about more than 50% compare with a square open loop resonator. Bandpass filter using this resonator shows good microwave characteristic with the harmonic suppression of about 19dB. The results of measurements are almost similar to those of simulation.

  • We consider a Bayesian test of independence in a two-way contingency table that has some zero cells. To do this, we take a three-stage hierarchical Bayesian model under each hypothesis. For prior, we use Dirichlet density to model the marginal cell and each cell probabilities. Our method does not require complicated computation such as a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm to draw samples from each posterior density of parameters. We draw samples using a Gibbs sampler with a grid method. For complicated posterior formulas, we apply the Monte-Carlo integration and the sampling important resampling algorithm. We compare the values of the Bayes factor with the results of a chi-square test and the likelihood ratio test.

  • This paper presents an approach to the construction of multiple-rate quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Parity-check matrices of the proposed codes consist of $q{\times}q$ square submatrices. The block rows and block columns of the parity-check matrix correspond to the hyperplanes (${\mu}$-fiats) and points in Euclidean geometries, respectively. By decomposing the ${\mu}$-fiats, we obtain LDPC codes of different code rates and a constant code length. The code performance is investigated in term of the bit error rate and compared with those of LDPC codes given in IEEE standards. Simulation results show that our codes perform very well and have low error floors over the additive white Gaussian noise channel.

  • Vibration of a non-linear system under random parametric excitations was evaluated by probabilistic methods. The non-linear characteristic terms of a system structure were quasi-linearized and excitation terms were remained as they were An analytical method where the square mean of error was minimized was used An alternative method was an energy method where the damping energy and restoring energy of the linearized system were equalized to those of the original non-linear system. The numerical results were compared with those obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. The comparison showed the results obtained by Monte Carlo simulation located between those by the analytical method and those by the energy method.

  • Fine grid calculations are reported for the developing turbulent flow in a straight duct and a curved duct of square cross-section with a radius of curvature to hydraulic diameter ratio ${\delta}=R_c/H_H=3.357$ and a bend angle of 180 deg. A sequence of modeling refinements is introduced; the replacement of wall function by a fine mesh across the sublayer and a low Reynolds number second moment closure up to the near wall sublayer in which the non-linear return to isotropy model and the cubic-quasi-isotropy model for the pressure strain are adopted; and the introduction of a multiple source model for the exact dissipation rate equation. Each refinement is shown to lead to an appreciable improvement in the agreement between measurement and computation.

  • In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for the generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators perturbed by regular potentials and inverse square potentials AΦ,G,V,c=∆-∇Φ·∇+G·∇-V+c|x|-2 with a suitable domain generates a quasi-contractive, positive and analytic C0-semigroup in Lp(ℝN , e-Φ(x)dx), 1 < p < ∞. The proofs are based on an Lp-weighted Hardy inequality and perturbation techniques. The results extend and improve the generation theorems established by Metoui [7] and Metoui-Mourou [8].

  • Several authors investigated the properties which are invariant under the passage from a group to its nonabelian tensor square. In the present note we study this problem from the viewpoint of the classes of groups and the methods allow us to prove a result of invariance for some geometric properties of discrete groups.

  • The most difficult problem encountered in the DC Chopper is the improvement in it's output waveforms and the commutation failure. Thus, this paper deals with the Load Insensitive DC Chopper that produces a quasi-pure square wave over the entire load range, and doesn't fail the commutation. The authors compared voltage and current waveforms from the laboratory model with those from the computer simulation, and it's characteristics is discussed.
