In this work, we proposed a reflective antiferroelectric liquid crystal display (AFLCD) using a half-wave cell whose inplane tilt angle is $22.5^{\circ}$. To check the validity of our design, we fabricated a reflective half-wave AFLC cell of which inplane tilt angle is $24.9^{\circ}$, and measured VIS reflection spectra, contrast ratio and response time. In the results, the half-wave AFLC cell in the reflective configuration exhibits high brightness, high contrast ratio of 20:1, and fast response time of $700{\mu}s$.

This paper describes the upgrade of an existing wave information retrieval algorithm by employing noise reduction in the pixel domain. Several algorithms for collecting wave information parameters from X-band radar image sequences including the wind field and current velocity have been developed over the past three decades. Using these algorithms, a band-pass filter (BPF) is applied to remove the non-wave contribution from the image spectra after the sea surface current velocity has been computed. However, such BPF designs have been both complex and insufficient in removing undesired components in X-band radar images. For this study, to improve the performance of wave information retrieval, an efficient noise reduction algorithm is incorporated into a regular wave information retrieval process. That is, the proposed algorithm was designed for operation in a more proper manner by effectively removing the undesired components in the pixel domain. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm produces very close estimates to the buoy data records under undesirable noise conditions.

This contribution presents an extended one-dimensional theory for piezoelectric beam-type structures with non-ideal electrodes. For these types of electrodes the equipotential area condition is not satisfied. The main motivation of our research is originated from passive vibration control: when an elastic structure is covered by several piezoelectric patches that are linked via resistances and inductances, vibrational energy is efficiently dissipated if the electric network is properly designed. Assuming infinitely small piezoelectric patches that are connected by an infinite number of electrical, in particular resistive and inductive elements, one obtains the Telegrapher's equation for the voltage across the piezoelectric transducer. Embedding this outcome into the framework of Bernoulli-Euler, the final equations are coupled to the wave equations for the longitudinal motion of a bar and to the partial differential equations for the lateral motion of the beam. We present results for the wave propagation of a longitudinal bar for several types of electrode properties. The frequency spectra are computed (phase angle, wave number, wave speed), which point out the effect of resistive and inductive electrodes on wave characteristics. Our results show that electrical damping due to the resistivity of the electrodes is different from internal (=strain velocity dependent) or external (=velocity dependent) mechanical damping. Finally, results are presented, when the structure is excited by a harmonic single force, yielding that resistive-inductive electrodes are suitable candidates for passive vibration control that might be of great interest for practical applications in the future.

해면으로부터의 마이크로웨이브 후방산란 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 마이크로웨이브 도플러 레이더에 의한 파고와 해면 흐름 관측법을 평가하였다. 해면으로부터 후방산란하는 마이크로웨이브의 도플러 스펙트럼은 마이크로웨이브 해면 조사폭과 스펙트럼 해석 시간폭의 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로웨이브 해면 조사폭과 스펙트럼 해석 시간폭의 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 다양한 파랑과 해면 흐름 조건의 수치 해면 생성과 마이크로웨이브 후방산란 시뮬레이션을 통하여 도플러 스펙트럼을 구하였다. 결과에 의하면 마이크로웨이브 해면 조사폭을 파장의 1/5이하, 스펙트럼 해석 시간폭을 파주기의 1/5이하로 설정하면, 충분한 정도의 파고계측이 가능하다. 또한, 파주기에 비해서 충분히 긴 스펙트럼 해석 시간폭을 설정하면 해면 흐름의 상대유속 계측이 가능하다. 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 마이크로웨이브 도플러 레이더에 의한 해면관측의 적절한 계측방법을 찾을 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 규칙파 모델을 이용하여 유공케이슨 방파제로부터의 불규칙파의 반사를 계산하는 몇 가지 방법들을 검토한다. 첫 번째 방법은 불규칙파를 파고 및 주기가 각각 불규칙파의 제곱평균제곱근 파고 및 유의주기와 같은 규칙파로 근사하는 것이다. 두 번째는 불규칙파 스펙트럼의 각 주파수 성분에 대하여 규칙파 모델을 반복적으로 사용하는 것이다. 파의 주기는 성분파의 주파수에 따라 결정되며, 모든 주파수에 대해서 제곱평균제곱근 파고를 사용한다. 세 번째 방법은 두 번째 방법과 같으나, 각 성분파의 에너지에 해당하는 파고를 사용한다. 이전 연구자들의 실험 결과와 비교해 본 결과, 두 번째 방법이 가장 타당하며, 주파수 평균 반사율과 반사파 스펙트럼 모두 실험치와 양호한 일치를 보였다.

결석 파쇄에 ES지 장치가 이용되기 시작한 이래, 장치의 성능 및 장치에서 발생시킨 충격파가 생체에 미치는 영향등에 관한 연구가 다수 행해지고 있다. 그 중의 하나가 충격파가 전달되는 곳에는 항상 거론되는 캐비테이션 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 압전식 ESWL 장치로 대상물을 파쇄한다는 가정하에, 그 때의 매질을 캐비테이션이 미치는 영향과 관련지어 둘로 구분한다. 그것에 따라 각 매질에서의 방사음을 관측하고, 매질에 따른 파쇄효율과의 관계를 분석한 결과를 제시한다. 본 논문의 결과들은 캐비테이션 기포의 발생율이 작은 탈기수쪽이 방사음에 있어서도 분산성이 작고, 파쇄효율면에 있어서도 안정된 점을 확실히 나타내고 있다.

The recent huge earthquake ground motion records in Japan result in the reconsideration of seismic design forces for nuclear power stations from the view point of seismological research. In addition, the seismic design force should be defined also from the view point of structural engineering. In this paper it is shown that one of the occurrence mechanisms of such large acceleration in recent seismic records (recorded in or near massive structures and not free-field ground motions) is due to the interaction between a massive building and its surrounding soil which induces amplification of local mode in the surface soil. Furthermore on-site investigation after earthquakes in the nuclear power stations reveals some damages of soil around the building (cracks, settlement and sand boiling). The influence of plastic behavior of soil is investigated in the context of interaction between the structure and the surrounding soil. Moreover the amplification property of the surface soil is investigated from the seismic records of the Suruga-gulf earthquake in 2009 and the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake in 2011. Two methods are introduced for the analysis of the non-stationary process of ground motions. It is shown that the non-stationary Fourier spectra can detect the temporal change of frequency contents of ground motions and the displacement profile integrated from its acceleration profile is useful to evaluate the seismic behavior of the building and the surrounding soil.

Two commonly used ceramics in molten salt research are alumina and mullite. The two ceramics were exposed to a combination of rare earth chlorides (YCl₃, SmCl₃, NdCl₃, PrCl₃, and CeCl₃; each rare earth chloride of 1.8 weight percent) in LiCl-KCl at 773 K for approximately 13 days. Scanning electron microscopy with wave dispersion spectra was utilized to investigate a formation layer or deposition of rare earths onto the ceramic. Only the major constituents of the ceramics (Al, Si, and O₂) were observed during the wave dispersion spectra. X-ray fluorescence was used as well to determine concentration changes in the molten salt as a function of ceramic exposure time. This study shows no evidence of ionic exchange or layer formation between the ceramics and molten chloride salt mixture. There are signs of surface tension effects of molten salt moving out of the tantalum crucible into secondary containment.

To overcome the difficulty of performing multi-point response spectrum analysis for engineering structures under spatially varying ground motions (SVGM) using the general finite element code such as ANSYS, an approach has been developed by improving the modelling of the input ground motions in the spectral analysis. Based on the stochastic vibration analyses, the cross-power spectral density (c-PSD) matrix is adopted to model the stationary SVGM. The design response spectra are converted into the corresponding PSD model with appropriate coherency functions and apparent wave velocities. Then elements of c-PSD matrix are summarized in the row and the PSD matrix is transformed into the response spectra for a general spectral analysis. A long-span high-pier bridge under multiple support excitations is analyzed using the proposed approach considering the incoherence, wave-passage and site-response effects. The proposed approach is deemed to be an efficient numerical method that can be used for seismic analysis of large engineering structures under SVGM.

Korea is part of a region of low to moderate seismicity located inside the Eurasian plate with bedrock located at depths less than 30 m. However, the spectral acceleration obtained from site response analyses based on the geologic conditions of inland areas of the Korean peninsula are significantly different from the current Korean seismic code. Therefore, suitable site classification scheme and design response spectra based on local site conditions in the Korean peninsula are required to produce reliable estimates of earthquake ground motion. In this study, site-specific response analyses were performed at more than 300 sites with at least 100 sites at each site categories of $S_C$, $S_D$, and $S_E$ as defined in the current seismic code in Korea. The process of creating a huge database of input parameters - such as shear wave velocity profiles, normalized shear modulus reduction curves, damping curves, and input earthquake motions - for site response analyses were described. The response spectra and site coefficients obtained from site response analyses were compared with those proposed for the site categories in the current code. Problems with the current seismic design code were subsequently discussed, and the development and verifications of new site classification system and corresponding design response spectra are detailed in companion papers (II-development of new site categories and design response spectra and III-Verifications)
