There are many Beam-Column connections in general structures and ship structures. For simplicity and convenience of analysis, the connections are mostly considered hinged when not reinforced or rigidly fixed when reinforced. This paper has intended to analyze the Beam-Column connection which is assumed two dimensional flat plate. The analysis has been preformed by Finite Element Method following the change of moment of inertia at connection. The conclusion of this investigation is as follows: By reinforcing or increasing the moment of inertia at connection part, the stress distribution of whole structure and the stress concentration at that part are relieved. Displacements of beam(when column is fixed) are almost linearly decreasing by the change of moment of inertia at connection.

In the side scan sonar method, use is made of the back-scattering, at low grazing angles of incidence to the seabed, of relatively high-frequency acoustic waves radiated in a fan-shaped beam from a transducer contained in a towed body. The fan beam is oriented so that the wider angle is in the vertical plane (scan range) and the narrower angle in the horizontal plane (beam width) with the axis of the beam normal to the ship track. The display of the returns is usually realized as a series of closely spaced intensity-modulated lines on a paper recorder or computer screen display. In this way a two-dimensional picture of the seabed is build up.

Lignin can be a valuable natural chemical resource. Structurally, lignin is a three-dimensional polymer made up of condensed C-C bonds and some ether linkages, most of which are not readily degraded. In this study, lignin carbonization under various electron beam pretreatment conditions was characterized through a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Lignin stabilization was controlled by various doses of electron beam irradiation corresponding to 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 kGy; the carbonization process was performed under a nitrogen gas atmosphere at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The TGA results showed that a 1,000 kGy lignin dose increased the residue weight from 39.96% to 45.23%, compared to non-irradiated lignin. This observation is in agreement with the XRD and Raman spectroscopy results, in which the two theta degrees and the degree of crystallization were improved by increasing the electron beam irradiation.

In this work, the free vibration problem of a rotating Rayleigh beam is solved using the meshless Petrov-Galerkin method which is a truly meshless method. The Rayleigh beam includes rotatory inertia in addition to Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The radial basis functions, which satisfy the Kronecker delta property, are used for the interpolation. The essential boundary conditions can be easily applied with radial basis functions. The results are obtained using six nodes within a subdomain. The results accurately match with the published literature. Also, the results with Euler-Bernoulli are obtained to compare the change in higher natural frequencies with change in the slenderness ratio (${\sqrt{A_0R^2/I_0}}$). The mass and stiffness matrices are derived where we get two stiffness matrices for the node and boundary respectively. The non-dimensional form is discussed as well.

We systematically investigated the negative-refraction effect for both TE and TM polarizations in annular photonic crystals. Since two polarization waves are excited in different bands, they result in different refractive angles, and so polarization beam splitters can be made of annular photonic crystals. It was found that, in comparison to normal square-lattice air-hole photonic crystals, annular photonic crystals have a much wider common frequency band between TE-1 and TM-2, which is quite beneficial to finding the overlap between the negative-refraction regions belonging to TE-1 and TM-2 respectively. Further analyses of equifrequency surfaces and the electric-field distribution of annular photonic crystals with different parameters have not only demonstrated how the filling factor of annular cells affects the formation of the common negative-refraction region between TE-1 and TM-2, but also revealed some ways to improve the performance of a polarization beam splitter based on the negative-refraction effect in an annular photonic crystal.

A new 1*4 optical waveguide power divider is proposed and fabricated. It consists of a 1*4 multi-branch structure with a beam separator and two beam expanders that can control the splitting ratios between the output ports. The proposed optical waveguide power divider is designed by employing the two dimensional finite difference beam propagation method and is fabricated by a reactive ion etching method. The splitting ratio of fabricatd device is 25.0 : 25.7 : 25.3 : 24.0 for TE mode and 25.7 : 25.2 : 24.1 : 25.0 for TM mode. Comapred with the conventional Y-branch structure, the proposed structure shortens the length of a 1*N divider by the factor 3. Thus it reduces the total propagation loss and the total radiation loss at the branch points. furthermore, the splitting ratios between the output ports may be controlled in this structure for some special applications.

Two methodologies for predicting thermal relaxation time of tissue subjected to pulsed laser irradiation is introduced by the calculation the optical penetration depth and by the investigation of the temperature diffusion behavior. First approach is that both x-axial and y-axial thermal relaxation times are predicted and they are superposed to achieve the thermal relaxation time (${\tau}_1$) for two-dimensional square tissue model. Another approach to achieve thermal relaxation time (${\tau}_2$) is measuring the time required for local temperature drop until $e^{-1}$ of the maximum laser induced heating.

In this study, an indirect approach is developed for assessing the state of a bridge on the basis of mode shapes estimated by the responses of passing vehicles. Two types of damages, i.e., immobilization of a support and decrease in beam stiffness at the center, are evaluated with varying degrees of road roughness and measurement noise. The assessment theory's feasibility is verified through numerical simulations of interactive vibration between a two-dimensional beam and passing vehicles modeled simply as sprung mass. It is determined that the damage state can be recognized by the estimated mode shapes when the beam incurs severe damage, such as immobilization of rotational support, and the responses contain no noise. However, the developed theory has low robustness against noise. Therefore, numerous measurements are needed for damage identification when the measurement is contaminated with noise.

To ensure the reliability of ultrasonic nondestructive testing techniques for modern structural materials, the effects of anisotropy and inhomogeneity and the influence of non-planar component geometries on ultrasonic wave propagation have to be taken into account. In this article, fundamentals and applications of two analytical approaches to three-dimensional elastic beam field calculation are presented. Results for both isotropic materials including curved interfaces and for anisotropic media like composites are presented, covering field profiles for various types of transducers and the modeling of time-dependent rf-signals.

This paper presents an evaluation of the strength and behavior of a tested simply supported rectangular reinforced eoncrete beam and a design example of a shear wall using two-dimensional strut-tie model with finite element nonlinear analysis. Strut-tie models reflecting the actual support and loading conditions are developed for the beam and shear wall. The strut-tie model not only provides simple solutions for large number of design situations dealing with the entire range of concrete structures which appear to be rather complicated but also predicts the behavior and strength of concrete members.
