The stealth technology can increase the survivability of aircrafts or warships and enhance the capability of mission completion in hostile territory. The purpose of this paper is to present the low observable structure with curved surfaces made by fiber-reinforced composites and to show the possibility of developing omnidirectional stealth platforms for military applications. In this study, we developed a radar absorbing structures(RAS) based on a circuit analog absorber to reduce the radar cross section(RCS) of an object with curved surfaces. Firstly, the RAS with a periodic square patterned conducting polymer layer was designed and simulated using a commercial 3-D electromagnetic field analysis program. Secondly, the designed semi-cylindrical structure with low RCS was fabricated using fiber-reinforced composites and conducting polymer. To make the periodic pattern layer, acts as resistive sheet, the intrinsic conducting polymer paste containing PEDOT with a polyurethane binder was used. Finally, the radar cross section was measured to evaluate the radar absorbing performances of the fabricated RAS by the compact range facility in POSTECH.

The tube outward local buckling of Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (CFST) beam under high compression stress is still considered a critical problem, especially for steel tubes with a slender section compared to semi-compact and compact sections. In this study, the flexural performance of stiffened slender cold-formed square tube beams filled with normal concrete was investigated. Fourteen (14) simply supported CFST specimens were tested under static bending loads, stiffened with different shapes and numbers of steel stiffeners that were provided at the inner sides of the tubes. Additional finite element (FE) CFST models were developed to further investigate the influence of using internal stiffeners with varied thickness. The results of tests and FE analyses indicated that the onset of local buckling, that occurs at the top half of the stiffened CFST beam's cross-section at mid-span was substantially restricted to a smaller region. Generally, it was also observed that, due to increased steel area provided by the stiffeners, the bending capacity, flexural stiffness and energy absorption index of the stiffened beams were significantly improved. The average bending capacity and the initial flexural stiffness of the stiffened specimens for the various shapes, single stiffener situations have increased of about 25% and 39%, respectively. These improvements went up to 45% and 60%, for the double stiffeners situations. Moreover, the bending capacity and the flexural stiffness values obtained from the experimental tests and FE analyses validated well with the values computed from equations of the existing standards.

Recentely, a compact and small size air-cleaning Electrostatic Precipitator(ESP) is needed to develop for air conditioning devices. From Deutsch formula for ESP efficiency, collection efficiency is affected not only the structure of collection section but also the charge rate of dust. In terms of collection area, the most useful type is a scroll type ESP. In this work, we investigated experimentally aptimum design factor of scroll type ESP by application of Taguchi method. And we developed the scroll type ESP by using optimal condition of control factor.

We give general fixed point theorems for compact multimaps in the "better" admissible class $B^{K}$ defined on admissible convex subsets (in the sense of Klee) of a topological vector space not necessarily locally convex. Those theorems are used to obtain results for $\Phi$-condensing maps. Our new theorems subsume more than seventy known or possible particular forms, and generalize them in terms of the involving spaces and the multimaps as well. Further topics closely related to our new theorems are discussed and some related problems are given in the last section.n.

We shall discuss on some vanishing theorems of harmonic sections of a Riemannian vector bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. In relating the results of H. Donnelly - P. Li ([4]), for special case of harmonic forms satisfying absolute or relative boundary problem, our results improve the vanishing results of T. Takahashi ([9]).

Let X and Y be normed linear spaces. An operator T defined on X with the range in Y is continuous in the sense that if a sequence {x$_{n}$} in X converges to x for the weak topology .sigma.(X.X') then {Tx$_{n}$} converges to Tx for the norm topology in Y. We shall denote the class of such operators by WC(X, Y). For example, if T is a compact operator then T.mem.WC(X, Y). In this note we discuss relationships between WC(X, Y) and the class of weakly of bounded linear operators B(X, Y). In the last section, we will consider some characters for an operator in WC(X, Y).).

In this paper a flow will be a pair (X, T) where X is a compact Hausdorff space, and T is a homeomorphism of X onto X. We will usually but not always assume that X is a metric space. We sometimes suppress the homeomorphism T notationally, and just denote a flow by X. General references for the preliminary dynamical notations discussed in this section are [5] and [3]. (The latter should be used with care, since transformations are written on the right there.)(omitted)

In [2] we proved that if the minimum of the sectional curvature of a compact real minimal hypersurface of CP$^{m}$ is 1/(2m-1), then M is the geodesic hypersphere. This result was generalized in [8] to the case of M is a generic submanifold with flat normal connection. The purpose of the present paper is to prove a following generalization of theorems in [2] and [8].

Dimensional accuracy is one of the most important issues in the production of sintered parts. The iron-copper-carbon system is commonly used alloys in sintered structural parts production. The dimensional control of these alloys, however, is not easy because of their complex sintering behavior. This study is an effort to clarify the influence of common factors on dimensional change of Fe-Cu-C sintered structural parts. We determined the effect of such various parameters as chemical composition, particle diameter, compact density, sintering temperature and sintering time on dimensional changes. Consequently, we obtained a useful formula to predict the final dimension in function of these parameters. The effect of typical impurities in copper powder on the dimensional change of sintered parts has also been described.

A novel circuit structure of dual-band bandstop filters is proposed in this paper. This structure comprises two shunt-connected tri-section stepped impedance resonators with a transmission line in between. Theoretical analysis from the equivalent circuit and design procedures are described. We represented graphs for filter design from the derived synthesis equations by resonance condition of circuits. Notably, advantages of the proposed filter structure are compact size in design, wide range of realizable resonance frequency ratio, and more realizable impedances.
