The object of this study is to design the Radar Absorbing Structures (RAS) having sandwich structures in the X-band ($8.2{\sim}12.4GHz$) frequencies. Glass fabric/epoxy composites containing conductive carbon blacks and carbon fabric/epoxy composites were used for the face sheets. Polyurethane(PU) foams containing multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) were used for the core. Their permittivities in the X-band were measured using the transmission line technique. The reflection loss characteristics for multi-layered sandwich structures were calculated using the theory of transmission and reflection in a multi-layered medium. Three kinds of specimens were fabricated and their reflection losses in the X-band were measured using the free space technique. Experimental results were in good agreements with simulated ones in 10dB absorbing bandwidth.

Stiffness variations and wave propagation/reflection in railway catenaries are the primary sources of contact loss between a pantograph and a railway contact wire. This paper analyzes which design parameter is more important for 200km/h conventional rail and 300km/h high-speed rail, in order to effectively reduce the contact loss. For the high-speed rail, the wave propagation and reflection in the overhead contact lines are more influential than the stiffness variation over a span. When the high-speed rail needs to speed-up, it is necessary to develop higher strength contact wires in order to increase the wave propagation speed. In addition, the dropper clamp mass should be reduced in order to alleviate the wave reflection. However, it is noted that the increase in the tension to a messenger wire could deteriorate the current collection quality, which contrasts with expectations. For the 200km/h conventional rail, the stiffness variation over a span is more influential than the wave propagation and reflection. Therefore, shortening span length, increasing the tension in the contact wire and optimizing the location of the droppers are recommended for a smoother stiffness variation over the span.

In this study, wave characteristics coming with oblique incident angle to permeable trapezoidal submerged breakwater on the porous seabed are calculated by using boundary element method. This numerical analysis, based on the wave pressure function, is analyzing the continuity in the analytical region including fluid and structure. From the comparison of the reflection coefficients and damping coefficient, the results of this study are in good agreement with the existing results. The peak values of reflection coefficient obtained by permeable trapezoidal submerged breakwater on the porous seabed are smaller than those of permeable trapezoidal submerged breakwater on the non-porous seabed. The velocity vector in front of permeable trapezoidal submerged breakwater on the porous seabed is smaller than that in front of permeable trapezoidal submerged breakwater on the non-porous seabed with out the energy loss.

In this paper, a numerical model to analyze the performance of a vertical slit-type wave absorber is developed under the assumption of inviscid water waves. The formulation combines the linear potential theory with a semi-empirical description of the eddy-shedding at a slit-type wave absorber. We investigated the reflection coefficients over a wide frequency range for a vertical slit-type wave absorber both with and without a solid rear wall. Model test was conducted at KRISO' s two dimensional wave tank to validate the theoretical results. It is found that the agreement between theoretical results and experimental data is surprisingly good. We found that the wave absorbing system using a vertical slit plate has sufficient potentials for breakwaters for ocean development.

본 논문에서는 기존의 RF 여파기가 대역 내에서만 정합이 되는 특성을 개선하여 대역 외에서도 50$\Omega$ 정합 특성을 가지는 여파기 설계 기술을 제안하였다. 대역 외에서 정합 시켜 주는 방법으로 결합기와 대역 통과 여파기로 구성된 Balance Type과 결합기와 대역 저지 여파기로 대역 통과 여파기 특성을 가지는 Reflection Type을 제시하여 그 특성을 확인하였다. 각각의 형태는 광대역 90도 3-㏈ 결합기를 사용한 것으로 결합기의 대역폭과 진폭 및 위상 오차에 따라 저지 대역에서의 정합 특성이 좌우되며, 이에 광대역의 3-㏈ 결합기를 설계 및 적용하여 광대역의 반사 손실 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 제작 결과 Balance type의 경우 1.2 GHz~2.6GHz까지 대역 내에서 -10㏈에서 -15 ㏈의 반사 손실 특성을 가지고 대역 저지 특성이 우수하며, Reflection type은 DC에서 3.3GHz까지 반사손실이 -15 ㏈ 내외로 광대역 정합 특성을 가진다. 특히, 저주파 반사 특성이 우수하여 저주파 발진 가능성이 큰 회로 설계에 유용하다.

This paper proposes a filter structure suitable for speech synthesis applications. We first derive the lossy pole-zero model by employing the wave digital filter(WDF) adaptor formula, and by converting the fixed termination value - 1 into a loss factor $\mu$c$\in$(-1, 1). Then we discuss how to determine the reflection We employ the Durbin's method in estimating the numerator polynomial of the lossy pole-zero transfer function from the given speech sound, and then apply the step-down algorithm on the numerator to extract the reflection coefficients of the closed-termination tract. For determining the reflection coefficients of the other parts we employ a pre-calculated pole-estimator polynomial.

In these days, many advanced nations have enforced import restrictions against things emitting electromagnetic wave which has report that it is so harmful. In general, electromagnetic wave is composed of electric wave and magnetic wave. The reflection of electromagnetic wave is mainly reflected by conductive materials and the magnetism loss is generated by magnetic ferrite. The magnetism loss of ferrite is separated by eddy current loss, residual magnetism loss and hysteresis loss. Thermal sprayed coating is intended to manufacture because of simple processes and high efficient electromagnetic wave shielding. The high efficient thermal sprayed coatings were made from the magnetic ferrite materials that characterizes absorption of electromagnetic wave, and the electric conductive materials that characterize emitting of electromagnetic wave. This study was manufactured thermal sprayed coatings to improve absorption-efficiency, and measured the electromagnetic wave shielding efficiency. As the experimental results, high electromagnetic wave shield efficiency was obtained at wave frequency 2GHz to thermal sprayed ferrite coatings manufactured by size distribution range of spray powders, $38~88\mu\textrm{m}$.

Process capability indices are being used as indicators for measurements of process capability for SPC of quality assurance system in industries. In view of the enhancement of customer satisfaction, process capability indices in which loss functions are used to deal with the economic loss In the processes deviated from the target, are in an adequate representation of the customer's perception of quality In this connection, the loss function has become increasingly important in quality assurance. Taguchi uses a modified form of the quadratic loss function to demonstrate the need to consider the proximity to the target while assessing its quality. But this traditional quadratic loss function is inadequate to assessing the quality and quality improvement since different processes have different sets of economic consequences on the manufacturing, Thereby, a flexible approach to the development of the loss function needs to be desired. In this paper, we introduce an easily understood loss function, based on reflection of probability density function of the normal distribution. That is, the Reflected Normal Loss function can be adapted to an asymmetric loss as well as to a symmetric loss around the target. We propose that, instead of the process variation, a new capability index, CpI using the Reflected Normal Loss Function that can accurately reflect the losses associated with the process and a new capability index CpI Is compared with the classical indices as $C_{p}$ , $C_{pk}$, $C_{pm}$ and $C_{pm}$ $^{+}$.>.+/./.

High-frequency bottom loss measurements for grazing angle of $82^{\circ}$ in frequency range 17-40 kHz were made in Jinhae bay in the southern part of Korea. Observations of bottom loss showed the strong variation as a function of frequency, which were compared to the predicted values using two-layered sediment reflection model. The geoacoustic parameters including sound speed, density and attenuation coefficient for the second sediment layer were predicted from the empirical relations with the mean grain size obtained from sediment core analysis. The geoacoustic parameters for the surficial sediment layer were inverted using Monte Carlo inversion algorithm. A sensitivity study for the geoacoustic parameters showed that the thickness of surficial sediment layer was most sensitive to the variation of the bottom loss.
