The main purpose of this study is the vibration suppression of rotating composite blade containing distributed piezoelectric sensors and actuators. The blade is modeled by thin-walled, single cell composite beam including the warping function, centrifugal force, Coriolis acceleration and piezoelectric effect. Further, the numerical study is performed m ing finite element method. The vibration of composite rotor is suppressed by piezocomposite actuators and PVDF sensors that are embedded between composite layers. A velocity feedback control algorithm coupling the direct and converse piezoelectric effect is used to actively control the' dynamic response of an integrated structure through a closed control loop. Responses of the rotating blade are investigated. Newmark time integration method is used to calculate the time response of the model. In the numerical simulation, the effect of parameters such as rotating speed, fiber orientation of the blade and size of actuators are studied in detail.

Modern aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope (TEM) with appropriate electron beam energy is able to achieve atomic resolution imaging of single and bilayer graphene sheets. Especially, atomic configuration of bilayer graphene with a rotation angle can be identified from the direct imaging and phase reconstructed imaging since atomic resolution Moir$\acute{e}$ pattern can be obtained successfully at atomic scale using an aberration-corrected TEM. This study boosts a reliable stacking order analysis, which is required for synthesized or artificially prepared multilayer graphene, and lets graphene researchers utilize the information of atomic configuration of stacked graphene layers readily.

We proposed a novel mode shape converter (MSC) that can effectively reduce the coupling loss between polymer rib waveguide and single mode fiber. The double-nb geometry that was used in the novel MSC converted an elliptical mode to circular mode and an circular mode to elliptical mode. This structure can be easily realized by using the typical fabrication process for polymer wavegUide. Simulation using a three dimensional beam propagation method showed that the novel MSC has a coupling loss of 0.079 dB/facet and total lllsertioll loss of less than 0.2 dB. .2 dB.

In order to analyze the rolling motion of a ship in random beam waves we have used the equivalent linearization method. The quadratic nonlinear damping, the cubic and quintic nonlinear restoring moments were added to a single degree of freedom linear equation of roll motion. The irregular excitation moment was assumed to be the Gaussian white noise. The statistical characteristic of the response by the equivalent linearization method was compared with the simulation result.

In the present work, structural joints have been modeled as a pair of translational and rotational springs and frequency equation of the overall system has been developed using sub-structure synthesis. It is shown that using first few natural frequencies of the system, one can obtain a set of over-determined system of equations involving the unknown stiffness parameters. Method of multi-linear regression is then applied to obtain the best estimate of the unknown stiffness parameters. The estimation procedure has been developed first for a two parameter joint model and then for a three parameter model, in which cross coupling terms are also included. Two cases of structural connections have been considered, first with a cantilever beam with support flexibility and then a pair of beams connected through lap joint. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical simulation and by experimentation.

An orifice type of aerodynamic lens is generally used to focus nanoparticles. However, it is impossible to focus particles smaller than 10nm in air due to flow instability of fluid in a lens. In this study, we propose a new converging-diverging type of the aerodynamic lens capable of focusing particles of 5-50nm in air. Designing factors of the lens configurations is also extracted and explained in detail through a numerical simulation. It was demonstrated that the aerosols are delivered from the entrance to the downstream of the lens system with 90% transmission efficiency. The final beam diameters are shown to be more or less 1mm in the range of particle size.

In this paper, a $4{\times}4$ rectangular patch array antenna operated at 20 GHz is implemented for the satellite communication. Two $2{\times}2$ subarrays are designed and more efficient $2{\times}2$ subarray is used for the design of $4{\times}4$ patch array. The sixteen patch antennas and microstrip feeding line are printed on the single-layered substrate. The spacing between the array elements is chosen to be $0.736{\lambda}$. HPBW (Half-Power Beam Width) is 17.6 degrees in the E-plane and 18.7 degrees in the H-plane with a gain of 17.2SdBi in the simulation results.

Theoretical analysis is performed on a multi-mode energy harvester design with focus on the first two vibration modes. Based on the analysis, a modification is proposed for designing a novel adaptive multi-mode energy harvester. The device comprises a simply supported beam with distributed mass and piezoelectric elements, and an adaptive damper that provides a 180 degree phase shift for the motions of two supports only at the second vibration mode. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show that the new design can efficiently scavenge energy at the first two vibration modes. The energy harvesting capability of the multi-mode energy harvester is also compared with that of a cantilever-based energy harvester for single-mode vibration. The results show that the energy harvesting capacity is affected by the damping ratios of different designs. For fixed damping ratio and design dimensions, the multi-mode design has higher energy harvesting capacity than the cantilever-based design.

We propose and fabricate an 1${\times}$2 asymmetric optical switch by TOE using SOI wafer based on silicon which has very large TOE figure and it is a good material for optical devices. SOI wafer consists of 3 layers; upper Si layer for device(waveguide;core, n=3.5), buried oxide layer for insulator(clad, n=1.5) and Si substrate layer. We designed 1${\times}$2 asymmetric y-branched single mode optical waveguide switch by BPM simulation and metal heater by heat transfer simulation. Fabricated switch shows about 3.5 watts of power consumption and over 20dB of crosstalk between output channels.

Two dimensional solitary waves are stably propagated in a saturable medium which has a saturable nonlinear index as input intensity. However, in the case of low intensity. a negative fifth-order nonlinear medium has properties of a saturable medium. So a Gaussian beam travels stably. The propagation process into the fifth order nonlinear medium of the Gaussian beam with a weak intensity is investigated by using the computer simulation of the two-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation. As a result, it is confirmed that the two-dimensional spatial solitary waves are stably propagated in this medium when the incident powers are self-trapping powers. In the condition of the phase difference and collisional angle between two input beams of 180 degree and 0.05 degree, respectively, we can confirm that all optical switching is as simple as controlling the incident power of one input beam.
