A brake device for the high-speed impacting object is designed using an axial crushing of thin-walled metal cylinder. Thickness of the cylinder is increased smoothly from the impacting end to the fixed end, resulting in the truncated cone shape. Truncated cone shape minimizes the imperfection-sensitivity of the structure and ensures that plastic hinges are formed sequentially from impacting end. This prevents the undesirable sudden rise in the first peak-crushing load. Several specimens with different conic angles, mean thickness of the wall, and materials were designed and quasi-static compression tests were performed on them. Results indicate that adoption of appropriate conic angle prevents simultaneous wrinkles generation and sudden rise of crushing load and that appropriate conic angle differs in each case, depending on the geometry and material property of the cylinder. Finite element analysis was performed for static compression of the cylinder and its accuracy was checked for the future application.

Present study shows three different methods finding the eigenfrequencies of an infinite circular cylinder under free-vibration; Elasticity theory that can be applied to general case, thin-shell theory that can be effectively applied to the cylinders with small thickness, and numerical study using Finite Element Method (FEM). The results obtained from those methods were verified through the cross check among the calculations. Changing the thickness of the cylinder for a fixed outer radius, all the eigenfrequencies below 1 kHz were found and their dependences on the modal index and the thickness were observed.

This work is concerned with the investigation of end effects of a cylinder on a structure where a circular plate is attached to a solid circular cylinder. Three-dimensional elasticity solutions are used in a cylinder whereas the classical thin plate theory is employed for a plate. The end effect of the cylinder on the flexibility and the structural response is demonstrated by several numerical examples.

The scattering characteristics are analysed for the dielectric cylinder with arbitrary cross section partially covered by thin conductors. The integro differential equations consistant with boundary conditions of conductor and dielectric boundaries are derived by the equivalence principle. They are transformed into matrix equations by moment method. The circular dielectric cylinder covered by conductors at the upper and bottom side of the cylinder is chosen for the numerical example. Current distributions on conductors and scattering cross section by the cylinder are computed for incident wave perpendicular to the conductor plane.

A Brake device for the high-speed impacting object is designed using an axial crushing of thin-walled metal cylinder, Thickness of the cylinder is increased smoothly from the impacting end to the fixed end, resulting in the truncated cone shape. Truncated cone shape ensures that plastic hinges are formed sequentially from impacting end. This increases the reliability of brake device working. Computational and real experiments were performed to verify the effects of conical angle. Results indicate that undesirable sudden rise of crushing load can be prevented by applying appropriate conical angle.

An active control of the transmission of noise through an aircraft fuselage is investigated numerically. A cylinder-cavity system was used as a model for this study. The fuselage is modeled as a fi nite, thin shel cylinder with constant thickness. The sound field generated by an exterior monopole source is transmitted into the cavity through the cylinder. Point force actuators on the cylinder are driven by error sensor that is placed in 3D cavity. Modal coupling theory is used to formulate the numerical models and describe the system behavior. Minimization of the acoustic potential energy in the fuselage is carried out as a performance index. Continuous parameter genetic algorithm is used to search the optimal actuator position and both results are compared.

This paper describes how the gold particles self assemble on the specific phase on the microphase separated block copolymer thin film and form a well ordered patterns. For this study, polystyrene-polybutadiene-polystyrene (PS-PB-PS) triblock copolymer (30wt % PS) thin films (${\sim}100nm$) having a cylindrical morphology were cast from 0.1wt% toluene solution to be used as polymer thin film templates. The films having either vertical PS cylinders or in-plane PS cylinders in PB matrix from each different solvent evaporation condition were obtained. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was used to study the surface and bulk morphologies of block copolymer thin films. Small amount of gold particles was evaporated on a block copolymer thin film template to obtain a nano-scale pattern. When an as-cast thin film template was used, gold particles preferentially self assemble on the low surface tension PB phase and a relatively well ordered pattern in nano-scale was produced. However, after the formation of a low surface energy PB rich layer upon annealing, a gold self-assembled pattern was not observed.

A simple approximation method for the stress intensity factor at the tip of the axial semielliptical cracks on the cylindrical vessel is developed. The approximation methods, incorporated in VINTIN (Vessel INTegrity analysis-INner flaws), utilizes the influence coefficients to calculate the stress intensity factor at the crack tip. This method has been compared with other solution methods including 3-D finite element analysis for internal pressure, cooldown, and pressurized thermal shock loading conditions. For these, 3-D finite-element analyses are performed to obtain the stress intensity factors for various surface cracks with t/R=0.1. The approximation solutions are within $\pm2.5%$ of the those of finite element analysis using symmetric model of one-forth of a vessel under pressure loading, and 1-3% higher under pressurized thermal shock condition. The analysis results confirm that the approximation method provides sufficiently accurate stress intensity factor values for the axial semi-elliptical flaws on the surface of the reactor pressure vessel.
