Using appropriate transformations, the differential equation for flexural free vibration of a cantilever bar with variably distributed mass and stiffness is reduced to a Bessel's equation or an ordinary differential equation with constant coefficients by selecting suitable expressions, such as power functions and exponential functions, for the distributions of stiffness and mass. The general solutions for flexural free vibration of one-step bar with variable cross-section are derived and used to obtain the frequency equation of multi-step cantilever bars. The new exact approach is presented which combines the transfer matrix method and closed form solutions of one step bars. Two numerical examples demonstrate that the calculated natural frequencies and mode shapes of a 27-storey building and a television transmission tower are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental data. It is also shown through the numerical examples that the selected expressions are suitable for describing the distributions of stiffness and mass of typical tall buildings and high-rise structures.

We study the ballistic spin transport properties in a two-dimensional electron gas system in the presence of magnetic barriers using a transfer matrix method. We concentrate on the size-effect of the magnetic barriers parallel to a two-dimensional electron gas plane. We calculate the transmission probability of the ballistic spin transport in the magnetic barrier structure while varying the width of the magnetic barriers. It is shown that resonant tunneling oscillation is affected by the width and height of the magnetic barriers sensitively as well as by the inter-spacing of the barriers. We also consider the effect of additional electrostatic modulation on the top of the magnetic barriers, which could enhance the current spin polarization. Because all-semiconductor-based devices are free from the resistance mismatch problem, a resonant tunneling structure using the two-dimensional electron gas system with electric-magnetic modulation would play an important role in future spintronics applications. From the results here, we provide information on the physical parameters of a device to produce well-defined spin-polarized current.

This paper presents a study on the development of discharge model and computer program for assessing the risk of electrostatic discharge(ESD) of charged human body This ESD event is modelled as a two-body problem using spherical conductors, simulating the approach of a charged conductor (human body) to a second conductor (electronic equipment). The charge/discharge process for the model is formulated as a matrix of equations by Maxwell's method. Body potentials, energies and the charge transfer during a discharge are calculated. The developed program, based on the suggested scheme in this paper, is applied to a sample system. The results provide a better understanding of ESD event and demonstrate the usefulness of two-body model in practical applications.

A hollow crankshaft is considered as part of an effort to reduce the weight of the automobile powertrain. Since the resulting mass reduction alters both the inertia and stiffness properties of the crankshaft, the vibration characteristics of the hollow crankshaft needs to be investigated in comparison with the original solid crankshaft. The crankshafts are modeled by 38 lumped mass and stiffness elements, in which the dynamic parameters for each lumped element are obtained by the finite element calculation. The fluid-film bearings supporting the crankshaft give rise to linear spring and damping elements that can be derived from the hydrodynamic bearing model. The transfer matrix method is applied to yield the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the crankshaft vibration. The natural frequencies of the hollow crankshaft are founded to be greater than that of the solid crankshaft, and the incorporation of the bearing stiffness tends to accentuate the difference.

Small passenger and car carrier ships are mainly used as a connection way between land and small islands. And these ships should be designed to enlarge the capacity of passenger and car loading within limited space and draft. So the resonances of various vibrations exist in normal operation range of engine and propulsion shafting. In this paper, hull's superstructure vibration which was especially induced by the 1st order excitation of whirling vibration on the 2-engines and 2-propulsion shafting systems is introduced. Also these are verified via the theoretical analysis using transfer matrix method and FEA software ANSYS and its vibration measurement.

Concrete is shown the time dependent behavior after placing. The time dependent behavior of normal strength concrete that is used usually in present, were already examined closely lots of parameters by several investigators. however, high strength concrete is that the material characteristics are not definite and the experimental data are lacking. So, The goal of this study is to propose the material characteristics models, and to develop the routine of the time dependent behavior above 60 MPa. The thermal conductivity, the specific heat, the moisture diffusion coefficient, and the surface coefficient are proposed the suitable models through the parametric study. The structural element is used the 8-node solid element. The matrix equation is developed considering the transient heat transfer and moisture diffusion theory. The application of the time dependent behavior is used the finite differential method.

We studied the influence of GaAs top-layer thickness on the small-signal modulation response and 56 Gb/s four-level pulse-amplitude modulation eye quality of 850 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). We considered the proportionality of the gain-saturation coefficient to the photon lifetime. The simulation results that employed the transfer-matrix method and laser rate equations led to the conclusion that the proportionality should be considered for proper explanation of the experimental results. From the obtained optical eyes, we could determine an optimum thickness of the GaAs top layer that rendered the best eye quality of VCSEL. We also compared two results: one result with a fixed gain-saturation coefficient and the other that considered the proportionality. The former result with the constant gain-saturation coefficient demonstrated a better eye quality and a wider optimum range of the GaAs top-layer thickness because the resultant higher damping reduced the relaxation oscillation.

We propose the Poynting vector analysis of the air mode in a top-emitting organic light-emitting diode (OLED) by combining the transfer matrix method and dipole source term. The spatial profiles of the time-averaged optical power flow of the air mode are calculated inside and outside the multilayer structure of the OLED with respect to the thickness of the semi-transparent top cathode and capping layer (CPL). We elucidate how the micro-cavity effect controlled by the thickness variation of the semi-transparent top cathode or CPL affects the internal optical power and absorption loss inside the OLED multilayer and the external optical power coupled into the air. When the calculated absorption loss and external power obtained by the proposed Poynting vector and currently-used point dipole models are compared, two calculation results are identical, which demonstrates the validity of the two models.

Since the welding process is complex and highly nonlinear, it is very difficult to accurately model the process for real-time control. In this paper, a discrete-time transfer function matrix model for gas metal arc welding process is proposed. Although this linearized model is valid only around the operating point of interest, the adaptation mechanism employed in the control system render this model useful over a wide operating range. A multivariable one-step-ahead adaptive control strategy combined with a recursive least-squares method for on-line parameter estimation is implemented in order to achieve the desired weld bead geometries. Command following and disturbance rejection properties of the adaptive control system for both SISO and MIMO cases are investigated by simulation and experiment.
