In the transformer that is used for the contactless power transmission system, the primary and secondary sides are separated structurally unlike general transformers. When the contactless transformer is built, it forms relatively bigger air gap than the general transformer. Thus it is difficult to transfer energy from the primary side input to the secondary side output with high power efficiently because of low coupling coefficient. This paper proposes a contactless transformer using the rectangular type core that maintains high coupling coefficient even when it has relatively large air gap. The performance characteristics of the proposed transformer are compared with the transformer using general EE core to the air gap variation. The proposed contactless system using rectangular type core and dc-dc full bridge converter, and the system using EE core type and dc-dc full bridge converter are respectively implemented and their performance characteristics are verified by the simulation and experiment.

This paper is presented an experimental studies on bond stress between steel and concrete in concrete filled Rectangular steel tubes. In the actual building frames, vertical dead and live loads on beams are usually transferred to columns by beam-to-column connections. In case when concrete filled steel tubes are used as columns of an actual building frame which has a simple connection, shear forces in the beam ends are not directly transferred to the concrete core but directly to the steel tube. Provided that the bond effect between steel tube and concrete core should not be expected, none of the end shear in the beams would be transferred to the concrete core but only to the steel tube. Therefore, it is important to investigate the bond strength between steel tube and concrete core in the absence of shear connectors.

Induction motors widely use in industry because structure is simple and hard and cost is generally cheap and they are easy to control. In recently, because of saving steel, ventilation and benefit of frame fixing, rectangular core type induction motors use in industry more and more. This paper presents current characteristic according to stator core cutting degree in three-phase induction motor (IM) with rectangular stator core. According to stator cutting degree, magnetic saturation and paths of flux are changed. Because of these situations, phase currents are unbalance and are produced harmonic components and they cause decrease of efficiency. We analyze each $10^{\circ}$ from $0^{\circ}$ to $30^{\circ}$ using 2-D finite element analysis (FEA). Optimal stator cutting core degree selection supplies stable currents and efficiency improvement. In this paper, loss separation test was executed by IEEE Std. 112-98 Method B and we compare with the result of loss separation by Simulation using FEM and by Experiment.

A novel porous-core hexagonal lattice photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is designed and analyzed for efficient terahertz (THz) wave propagation. The finite element method based Comsol v4.2 software is used for numerical analysis of the proposed fiber. A perfectly matched layer boundary condition is used to characterize the guiding properties. Rectangular air-holes are used inside the core to introduce asymmetry for attaining high birefringence. By intentionally rotating the rectangular air holes of porous core structure, an ultrahigh birefringence of 0.045 and low effective material loss of $0.086cm^{-1}$ can be obtained at the operating frequency of 0.85 THz. Moreover, single-mode properties, power fraction in air core and confinement loss of the proposed PCF are also analyzed. This is expected to be useful for wideband imaging and telecom applications.

The present study numerically models the interaction between a regular wave and the roll motion of a rectangular floating structure. In order to simulate two-dimensional incompressible viscous two-phase flow in a numerical wave tank with the rectangular floating structure, the present study used the volume of fluid method based on the finite volume method. The sliding mesh technique is adopted to handle the motion of the rectangular floating structure induced by fluid-structure interaction. The effect of the wave period on the flow, roll motion and forces acting on the structure is examined by considering three different wave periods. The time variations of the wave height and the roll motion of the rectangular structure are in good agreement with experimental results for all wave periods. The present response amplitude operator is in good agreement with experimental results with the linear potential theory. The present numerical results effectively represent the entire process of vortex generation and evolution described by the experimental results. The longer wave period showed a different mechanism of the vortex evolution near each bottom corner of the structure compared to cases of shorter wave periods. In addition, the x-directional and z-directional forces acting on the structure are analyzed.

Research on concrete-filled steel columns has been conducted. It is also well known that the load and deformation capacity of concrete-filled steel columns are considerable larger than those of widely used reinforced concrete columns and steel encased concrete columns because the concrete core in the steel is confined laterally by the steel. But, most of these works focused on columns with strength enhancement by the confinement effect, so that no local buckling prevented by the concrete. columns because the concrete core in the steel is confined laterally by the steel. But, most of these works focused on columns with strength enhancement by the confinement effect, so that no local buckling prevented by the concrete. This paper, therefore, presents on the stress-strain relation of a concrete filled rectangular steel tube under axial compression. As the results, the axial load verse average axial strain relationship of concrete-filled rectangular steel columns were very stable. The small B/t ratios in concrete-filled rectangular steel columns aren't affected prevention of local buckling but strength enhancement by confinement effect.

Rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular columns with unequal wall thickness were investigated in the paper. The physical centroid, the centroidal principal axes of inertia, and the section core were given. The generalized bending formula and the generalized eccentric compression formula were deduced, and the equation of the neutral axis was also provided. The two rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular stub specimens subjected to the compression load on the physical centroid and the geometric centroid respectively were tested to verify the theoretical formulas.

In this paper, a spectral finite element method for a rectangular sandwich plate with viscoelastic core having the Levy-type boundary conditions has been plated. The sandwich plate consists of two isotropic and elastic face plates with a surfaced-bonded viscoelastic core. For the analysis, the in-plane and transverse energy in the face plates and only shear energy in the core are considered, respectively. To account for the frequency dependent complex shear modulus of the viscoelastic core, the Golla-Hughes-McTavish model is adopted. To evaluate the validity and accuracy of the proposed method, the frequency response function and dynamic responses of the sandwich plate with all edges simply supported subject to an impact load are calculated and compared with those calculated by a finite element method. Though these calculations, it is confirmed that the proposed method is very reliable and efficient one for vibration analysis of a rectangular sandwich plate with viscoelastic core having the Levy-type boundary conditions.

Natural convection velocity and temperature profiles are obtained approximately in the core at boundary layer flow regime for varying Prandtl number in a low aspect ratio rectangular Enclosure. Analysis is based on the formally obtained core flow equations using the multiple scales method. Results show good agreement with the existing works for $P_{r}$ ~ 1. No comparison, however, is possible yet for $P_{r}$ >> 1 and $P_{r}$ < 1 due to the lack of available date. It is shown here that boundary layer flow regimes are governed by two parameters, A $R_{a}$$^{1}$4/ and A( $P_{r}$ $R_{a}$)$^{1}$4 for $P_{R}$.geq. 1 and $P_{r}$ < 1 respectively.ely.ively.ely.y.

In this paper, the analysis of some possibilities for increasing the induction motor efficiency is reported. This approach does not require a complete redesign of new laminations with a consistent cost in terms of investments. This paper shows the efficiency of the rectangular core types according to core-cutting-degree and compares the efficiency of the rectangular core types with the round core types. In particular, for obtaining an increase in efficiency, increase of the core axial length has been taken into consideration. The paper shows the results obtained by the finite element method(FEM) and IEEE Std. 112-96 Method B and analyzes the results to get a high efficiency for the induction motor.
