Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have been spotlighted as an advanced composite material, accordingly the intensive studies have focused on FGMs to examine their mechanical behaviors. Among them is thermal buckling which has been a challenging subject, because its behavior is connected directly to the safety of structural system. In this context, this paper presents the numerical analysis of thermal buckling of metal-ceramic functionally graded (FG) plates. For an accurate and effective buckling analysis, a new numerical method is developed by making use of (1,1,0) hierarchical model and 2-D natural element method (NEM). Based on 3-D elasticity theory, the displacement field is expressed by a product of 1-D assumed thickness monomials and 2-D in-plane functions which are approximated by NEM. The numerical method is compared with the reference solutions through the benchmark test, from which its numerical accuracy has been verified. Using the developed numerical method, the critical buckling temperatures of metal-ceramic FG plates are parametrically investigated with respect to the major design parameters.

A real time error compensation system was developed to improve the quasistatic volumetric accuracy of a machining center by using sensing, metrology, modeling, and computer control techniques. Including thermal errors, 32 error components are formulated in the time-space domain. Fifteen thermal sensors are used to characterize the temperature field of the machine. A compensation controller based on the IBM/PC has been linked with a CNC controller to compensate for machine errors in real time. The maximum linear displacement error in 4 body diagonals were reduced from 140 ${\mu}m$ to 34.5${\mu}m$ with this compensation system, and the spindle thermal drift in space was reduced from 147.3 ${\mu}m$ to 16.8 ${\mu}m$.

Stability of laminated plate under thermal load varied linearly along thickness, is developed using a higher order displacement field which depend on a parameter "m", whose value is optimized to get results closest to three-dimension elasticity results. Hamilton, s principle is used to derive equations of motion for laminated plates. These equations are solved using Navier-type for simply supported boundary conditions to obtain non uniform critical thermal buckling and fundamental frequency under a ratio of this load. Many design parameters of cross ply and angle ply laminates such as, number of layers, aspect ratios and E1/E2 ratios for thick and thin plates are investigated. It is observed that linear and uniform distribution of temperature reduces plate frequency.

A higher order zig-zag shell theory is developed to refine the predictions of the mechanical and thermal behaviors partially coupled. The in-plane displacement fields are constructed by superimposing linear zig-zag field to the smooth globally cubic varying field through the thickness. Smooth parabolic distribution through the thickness is assumed in the out-of-plane displacement in order to consider transverse normal deformation and stress. The layer-dependent degrees of freedom of displacement fields are expressed in terms of reference primary degrees of freedom by applying interface continuity conditions as well as bounding surface conditions of transverse shear stresses. Thus the proposed theory has only seven primary unknowns and they do not depend upon the number of layers. In the description of geometry and deformation of shell surface, all rigorous exact expressions are used. Through the numerical examples of partially coupled analysis, the accuracy and efficiency of the present theory are demonstrated. The present theory is suitable in the predictions of deformation and stresses of thick composite shell under mechanical and thermal loads combined.

For the aerothermoelastic analysis of cylindrical piezolaminated shells, geometrically nonlinear finite elements based on the multi-field layerwise theory hale been developed. Applying a Han Krumhaar's supersonic piston theory, supersonic flutter analyses are performed for the cylindrical piezolaminted shells subject to thermal stresses and deformations. The possibility to increase flutter boundary and reduce thermoelastic deformations of piezolaminated panels is examined using piezoelectric actuations. Results show that active piezoelectric actuations can effectively increase the critical aerodynamic pressure by retarding the coalescence of flutter modes and compensating thermal stresses.

In this study, the design and analysis of a butterfly valve disk was performed to minimize the rubbing between the disk and the seat at opening and closing. The butterfly valve has double eccentric structure and the contact surface between the disk and the seat is a conical surface. At the instant of opening and closing the valve by the rotation of disk, the positions of zero contact point are changed. Also, if the cone surface is cut in the perpendicular direction to the rotation axis of the valve, the contour of cutting section is hyperbolic. Therefore minimum distance between the origin of the eccentric axis and the hyperbolic curve goes to the position of zero contact point. In order to consider the interferences between the disk and the seat, the thermal-structure coupled field analysis was performed by ANSYS.

In order to develop an new electric insulation material for heavy electric equipments, epoxy/micro/nano composite (EMNC) was prepared by mixing micro-silica with nano layered silicate, where the nano layered silicate was synthesized by our electric field dispersion method, EMNSC was prepared by treating the EMNC with a silane coupling agent. Thermal properties such as glass transition temperature (Tg) and thermal expansion coefficient, and DMA characteristics were studied, and mechanicla properties such as tensile and flexural tests were performed. AC electrical insulation strength was also tested. All properties of EMNSC were modified by treating EMNC with silane coupling agent and it was confirmed that our new developed composites could be used in the heavy electric equipments.

In the electron-gun of CRT, the Mo-tip FEA was employed as cold cathode in order to replace the conventional thermal cathode. The Mo-tip FEA was designed and fabricated according to CRT specification and mounted on the electron-gun. It was known that fabricated cold cathode electron-gun showed better performance in terms of maximum emission current and switch-on time when compared with the ones of thermal cathode electron-gun, but some geometrical structures in the inside of electron-gun must be changed to reduce the gate leakage current. Finally, the potential applicability was guaranteed by means of operating the 19 inch-sized LG-color CRT using the fabricated cold cathode electron-gun.

Fluoride({{{{ { CaF}_{2 } }}}}) films exhibited a cubic structure with similar lattice constant to that of Si and have sufficient breakdown electric field as gate dielectric material. Therefore, {{{{ { CaF}_{2 } }}}} are expected to replace conventional insulator such {{{{ { SiO}_{ 2},{Ta}_{2}{O}_{ 2} and{Al}_{2}{O}_{5}. However, {CaF}_{2}}}}} films showed hystereisis properties due to mobile charges in the film. To solve this problem we performed thermal treatment and achieves field. C-v results indicate a reduced hystereisis window of {{{{ }}}}ΔV =0.2v, LOW INTERFACE STATE {{{{{D}_{it}=2.0 TIMES {10}^{11}{cm}^{-1}{eV}^{-1}}}}} in midgap, and good WIS diode properties. We observed a preferential crystallization of(200) plane from XRD analysis. RTA treatment effects on various material properties of {{{{{CaF}_{2}}}}} are presented in this paper.

In this paper free vibration analysis of symmetric and cross-ply elastic laminated shells based on FSDT was performed through discretization of equations of motion and boundary condition. Model of laminated composite shells subjected to a combination of magnetic and thermal fields is developed. These coupled equations of motion are based on the electromagnetic equations (Faraday, Ampere, Ohm, and Lorenz equations) and thermal equations which are involved in constitutive equations. Dynamic characteristic of composite shells for change of magnetic fields is investigated.
