Mini-mill process which is one of the new steel making process to be able to produce the hot rolled strip by thin slab caster, was completed in the kwangyang steel work. The new process was constructed liquid core deduction, tandem reduction unit, induction heater, coil box and finishing mill to be varied width. Therefore, in oder to make sure of target strip width, analysis of actual plant data was done to fine out amount of width deviation. Finally, the predication system of width in the mini-mill process was developed to included temperature caculation model.

A numerical analysis has been performed on the two-dimensional rectangular gallium melting problem using the enthalpy method. The major advantage of this method is that the physical domain is discretized with fixed grids without transforming variables and the interface conditions of phase change are accounted for the definition of suitable source terms in the governing equations. But in the fixed method, there is some ambiguity in defining the porosity constant which has no physical interpretation. If the velocity correction is included in the momentum equation, for the appropriate range of porosity constant, the realistic predictions are obtained. The object of the present work is to predict the phase change within the molten steel with thin riser slab using the modified enthalpy-porosity method. The computational procedures for predicting velocity and temperature are based on the finite volume method and the non-staggered grid system. The influence of natural convection on the melting process is considered. A comparison with the experimental results shows that the modified method is better than the previous one.

A new type of a Rotman lens is presented in this paper fur millimeter-wave applications, such as collision avoidance radar. A dielectric slab Rotman lens is proposed to reduce the conductor loss and to create an appropriate farm for favorable implementation at millimeter-wave frequency. The proposed lens consists of a dielectric slab and slot lines whereas the conventional lenses are constructed with parallel conducting plates. The dielectric slab Rotman lens excited in TE$\_$0/ mode shows a high degree of confinement for the fields, low dispersion, and has an appropriate feed structure. A prototype lens has been designed and fabricated with 9 beam ports and 9 array ports together with 9 tapered slot antennas. This lens has been tested in the range from 10 GHz to 15 GHz and the measured beam widths are about 15$^{\circ}$ at 13 GHz. The measurements also show low mutual coupling between beam ports and an efficiency of about 34.6 %. The overall performance is comparable to that of conventional Rotman lenses even though the prototype was tested at lower than desired frequencies in the microwave frequency range due to our limited resources for fabrications and measurements. It is expected that at millimeter-wave frequency the dielectric slab Rotman lens will have lower conductor loss and lower mutual coupling than conventional Rotman lenses.an lenses.

The behavior of the concrete slabs on grade considering the horizontal resistance at the slab bottom, which exists due to the shear resistance of the foundation and the friction between the slab and the foundation, has been investigated when the slabs-on-grade are subjected to the thermal load. Analytical formulations have been developed to include the effect of the horizontal resistance at the slab bottom employing the thin plate on an elastic foundation that is widely used for the analysis of concrete slabs-on-grade and rigid pavement systems. Finite element formulations have then been developed using the plate bending elements and the flat shell elements. The solutions from the analytical and numerical models have been compared and showed very good agreement. The sensitivity of the horizontal resistance to the stresses of the concrete slab has been investigated with various values of the slab thickness, elastic modulus, and vortical stiffness of the foundation when subjected to the temperature gradient between the top and bottom of the slab and the uniform temperature drop throughout the slab depth. The analysis results show that the horizontal resistance at the plate bottom can significantly affect the stresses of the slab when the thermal loads are applied.

The fixed slab analogy device which can measure stress intensity factors(S.I.F) experimentally by slab analogy theory is developed in this paper. The margin of errors resulted from the new testing apparatus are between 0.02% and 8.25%. Therefore, it is assured that this one can be effectively used for the more accurate measurement of S.I.F.( $k_{I}$, $k_{I I}$) than conventional apparatus. The pitch of master grating used in this experiment is 0.1mm It is known that the ratio of the distance from crack tip to the crack length on obtaining the accurate stress intensity factor is between 0.4 and 0.7. The optimum curvature radius of slab is about 125mm. The thickness of slab(plate) used in the fixed slab analogy device is 0.05mm(P.V.C. ; E = 64 MN/ $m^{2}$, .nu.=0.38), which is proved to be suitable for the test. The optimum material for the frame(slab`s external boundary) is a alloy tool steel(SKS 5) plate and its thickness is 1mm. In this research, the rigid cracks are directly bonded to the slab surface by cyanoacrylate adhesive for the easiness of slab making and conformity to the practical crack figure. The material of rigid crack is thin steel plate. It is expected that the developed method can be used effectively for the analysis of $k_{I}$ and $k_{I I}$ of arbitrary shaped or distributed cracks.cks.

We report on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of poly[2,7-(9-9-dioctylfluorene)] (PF) thin film under strong optical pumping using a streak camera system. When the excitation energy density increases above $72{\mu}J{\cdot}cm^{-2}$, the emission spectrum becomes narrower and PL decay curve comes to be faster simultaneously. These behaviors are clear evidence of Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) due to a waveguided Stimulated Emission in slab structure of thin film. ASE threshold of $72{\mu}J{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ is comparable with previous reports and PF is attractive as a gain medium for plastic lasers.

Recently, as size of building structure becomes larger, mat area of building structure is supported on Inhomogeneous foundation. The equipment machineries in building are mostly on basement story. The slab of the lowest basement story with equipment machineries is considered as plate supported on foundation with concentrated masses. In this paper, vibration analysis of rectangular thin plate is done by use of rectangular finite element with 4 nodes. The solution of this paper are compared with existing solution and natural frequencies of thin plates, with concented mass, on inhomogeneous Pasternak foundation are calculated

This paper aims to evaluate the structural dynamic responses and damage/failure of the nuclear fuel reprocessing plant under the free drop impact of spent fuel cask (SFC) and fuel assembly (FA) during the on-site transportation. At the present Part I of this paper, the large-scale SFC model free drop test and the corresponding numerical simulations are performed. Firstly, a composite target which is composed of the protective structure, i.e., a thin RC plate (representing the inverted U-shaped slab in the loading shaft) and/or an autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks sacrificial layer, as well as a thick RC plate (representing the bottom slab in the loading shaft) is designed and fabricated. Then, based on the large dropping tower, the free drop test of large-scale SFC model with the mass of 3 t is carried out from the height of 7 m-11 m. It indicates that the bottom slab in the loading shaft could not resist the free drop impact of SFC. The composite protective structure can effectively reduce the damage and vibrations of the bottom slab, and the inverted U-shaped slab could relieve the damage of the AAC blocks layer dramatically. Furthermore, based on the finite element (FE) program LS-DYNA, the corresponding refined numerical simulations are performed. By comparing the experimental and numerical damage and vibration accelerations of the composite structures, the present adopted numerical algorithms, constitutive models and parameters are validated, which will be applied in the further assessment of drop impact effects of full-scale SFC and FA on prototype nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in the next Part II of this paper.
