The performance of precast concrete structures is greatly influenced by the behaviour of beam-to-column connections. A single connection may be required to transfer several loads simultaneously so each one of those loads must be considered in the design. A good connection combines practicality and economy, which requires an understanding of several factors; including strength, serviceability, erection and economics. This research work focuses on the performance aspect of a specific type of beam-to-column connection using partly hidden corbel in precast concrete structures. In this study, the results of experimental assessment of the proposed beam-to-column connection in precast concrete frames was used. The purpose of this research is to develop and apply the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) for moment-rotation prediction of precast beam-to-column connections. The ELM results are compared with genetic programming (GP) and artificial neural network (ANN). The reliability of the computational models was accessed based on simulation results and using several statistical indicators.

This paper presents the design and simulation of a laser power beaming (LPB) system for an electric vehicle that establishes an optimal power transmission path based on the received signal strength. The LPB system is possible to transfer power from multiple transmitters to a single receiver according to the characteristics of the laser and the solar panel. When the laser beams of multiple transmitters aim at a solar panel at the same time, the received power is the sum of all energy at a solar panel. Our proposed LPB system consists of multiple transmitters and multiple receivers. The transmitter sends its power characteristics as optically coded pulses with a class 1 laser beam and powers as a high-intensity laser beam. By using the attenuated power level, the receiver can estimate the maximum receivable powers from the transmitters and select optimal transmitters. Throughout the simulation, we verified the possibility that different LPB receivers were achieved their required power by the optimal allocation of the transmitter among the various transmitters.

In this work, the buckling and vibrational behavior of the composite beam armed with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SW-CNT) resting on Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation are investigated. The CNT-RC beam is modeled by a novel integral first order shear deformation theory. The current theory contains three variables and uses the shear correction factors. The equivalent properties of the CNT-RC beam are computed using the mixture rule. The equations of motion are derived and resolved by Applying the Hamilton's principle and Navier solution on the current model. The accuracy of the current model is verified by comparison studies with others models found in the literature. Also, several parametric studies and their discussions are presented.

Echo sounder and Doppler sonar are to theultra-sonic transducers for measuring the depth and the ship's speed respectively. To measure the depth and speed with a single transducer, it is required to control the ultra-sonic beam to optional direction. In the past, the direction of the transducer itself is varied, but such a method provoked much problems in the mechanical design of the equipment. This paper deals with the method to control beam direciton by the phase control of the plural arrangement of transducers, and the results are studied by a computer simulation. The remarkable results of the study is condensed as follows; 1. The greater the interval of arrangement between transducers, the sharper the radiation pattern is, but in this case, the level of undesired sidelobe is also increased. 2. The control of radiation pattern up to 60 degree can be achieved by an adequate arrangement of more than 10 transducers. 3. It is shown that a simultaneous measurement of both depth and speed can be achieved by alternating directivity of the pulse by the method proposed in this paper.

The field emission characteristics are studied by simulation for carbon nanotube triode structures with a strip-shaped emitter and a gate hole aligned with it. Two structures, one with double-edge and the other with single edge are analyzed. They show good emission characteristics. Emissions of electrons are concentrated on the edges of emitter and the emitted current increases as the distance between emitter and gate decreases. For single-edged emitter, the emitted electrons form a narow strip-shaped beam which has a good directionality. These triode structures have advantages in that they can be easily fabricated and aligned for assembly.

In this study, simulations were done of a 661.6 keV line from a point source of $^{137}Cs$ housed in a lead shield. When increasing the scattering angle from 60 to 120 degrees with a 6061 aluminum alloy target placed at angles of 30 and 45 degrees to the incident beam, the spectra showed that the single scattering component increases and that the multiple scattering component decreases. The investigation of the single and multiple scattering components was carried out using a MCNP5 simulation code. The component of the single Compton scattering photons is proportional to the target electron density at the point where the scattering occurs. The single scattering peak increases according to the thickness of the target and saturates at a certain thickness. The signal-to-noise ratio was found to decrease according to the target thickness. The simulation was experimentally validated by measurements. These results will be used to determine the best conditions under which this method can be applied to testing electron densities or to assess the thickness of samples to locate defects in them.

함정용 다기능레이다의 체계성능은 레이다 빔 운용에 따라 크게 영향 받는다. 다기능레이다는 단일 기능을 지닌 탐색레이더와 추적레이다보다 복잡한 빔 운용을 수행해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 함정용 다기능레이다의 체계 성능을 검증하기 위한 분석도구 제작 내용을 기술한다. 체계 성능 검증을 위해 레이다를 탑재한 함정과 표적을 탐지하는 레이다로 구성하였고, 탐지 대상으로는 대공 및 대함 표적으로 구성하였다. 각각 구성된 모델을 통합하여 추적빔과 탐색빔의 자원관리가 적용된 함정용 다기능 레이다 시뮬레이터를 구현하였다. 분석도구에 체계설계 성능 파라미터를 적용한 후, 운용 시나리오에서 시뮬레이션을 하여 제작한 분석도구를 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 ESPAR(Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator) 안테나를 이용한 $M{\times}M$ BS-MIMO(beam space multiple input multiple output) 시스템을 제안한다. 기존 MIMO 시스템은 전송 데이터 신호를 다수의 안테나에 맵핑시켜 전송하기 때문에 다수의 RF 체인이 필요한 문제점이 있다. 다수의 RF 체인은 하드웨어의 비용을 및 RF 회로의 전력 소모를 증가 시킨다. 또한, 휴대폰과 같이 공간적인 제약이 큰 모바일 장비에서 MIMO 시스템을 사용하기 어렵다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 단일 RF 체인을 가지는 ESPAR 안테나를 사용하여 빔 공간에서 신호를 맵핑시키는 BS-MIMO 시스템이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 BS-MIMO 시스템 기법에 대해서 설명하고 이를 확장한 $M{\times}M$ BS-MIMO 전송 기법의 설계 및 성능을 분석한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통한 성능 확인 결과 제안된 BS-MIMO 전송기법은 기존 MIMO 기법과 비교하여 거의 동일한 수신 BER 성능을 얻는다. 따라서 다수의 RF 체인을 가지는 기존 MIMO 시스템과 비교하여 BS-MIMO 시스템은 단일 RF 체인을 가지고 MIMO 전송이 가능하며, 이로 인해서 하드웨어 비용 및 RF 회로의 전력 소모를 획기적으로 줄일 것으로 예상된다.

This paper proposed a microstrip antenna that can perform jamming of satellite signals from the GPS L5, GLONASS G3, BDS B2 frequency bands (1164 - 1217 MHz) that are employed mainly for military purposes among the GNSS frequencies using unmanned aircrafts over the enemy's sky in time of emergency. The single element in the proposed antenna can be easily mounted to unmanned aircrafts. This study analyzed the characteristics of miniaturization and beam of radiating elements by applying the image theories and perturbation effect to satisfy the uniform level at ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ of beam steering goal due to the phase delay after antenna array. The designed microstrip antenna had a miniaturized radiating element area (x-y plane), which was reduced by 76.3% compared to that of basic microstrip antenna, and its beam width was $190^{\circ}$ in the E-plane and $140^{\circ}$ in the H plane. In addition, the simulation was conducted to determine the characteristics due to the phase delay by arranging the designed single microstrip antenna by $1{\times}4$ array and the results showed that beam steering of ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ is possible in the H-plane on the basis of $0^{\circ}$. Thus, the proposed antenna was verified to be effective in satellite signal jamming in the air as it was attached to the lower end of unmanned aircrafts.

자유 공간 광 통신 또는 레이저 전력 전송과 같은 장거리 레이저 빔 전파 연구의 핵심 요소 중 하나는 레이저 빔의 전송 효율이다. 본 논문에서는 레이저 에너지 전송의 효율을 개선하기 위해 레이저 빔의 공간적 분포를 변형하는 방법을 제안하였으며, 특히 수퍼 가우시안 빔을 대상으로 수치 해석을 진행해 그 유효성을 확인하였다. 송신기의 광학 시스템에 의해 결정된 회절 한계 반지름 이내로 수신되는 전력의 양을 기준으로, 2차 수퍼 가우시안 레이저 빔이 1 km 거리를 전파할 때 단일 채널과 다중 채널에서 모두 전송 효율이 개선되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 1 km 전파거리를 전제로 기본 가우시안 빔과 2차 수퍼 가우시안 빔을 사용하는 상황을 비교하였을 때, 전송 효율 개선률이 단일 채널 레이저에서 1.2% 이상, 3채널 및 7채널에서는 각각 4,2% 및 4.6% 이상이라는 결과를 얻었다. 레이저 빔의 전파거리가 750 m에서 1,250 m 사이인 경우, 2차 수퍼 가우시안 빔의 전송효율 개선률은 단일, 3채널, 7채널일 때 각각 1.2%, 4.1%, 4.0% 이상으로 전송 효율의 우위가 유지되었다.
