LED나 laser diode와 optical fiber의 coupling efficiency를 높이기 위해서는 lens의 곡율반경을 작게 하는 것이 효과적이다. 본 연구에서는 heating and pulling 반경에 의한 tapered lens를 고안함으로써 최적 size의 lens 제작을 용이하게 하였으며, taper의 특성을 이용하여 고효율 coupling을 가능하게 하였다. 이론적 계산에 의하여 90%까지의 light coupling이 가능함을 보였으며, 실험결과 flat end에 대한 improvement factor는 LED에서 3dB, laser diode에서 6dB까지 증가시킬 수 있었다. epoxy를 사용하여 LED에 pigital을 부착한 결과 온도특성 및 기계적 안정성에서 실용화에 충분할 정도로 우수하였다.

Coupling beams serve as primary source of energy dissipation in coupled shear wall systems during large earthquakes. However, the overestimation of the shear strength of diagonally reinforced coupling beams may be adverse effect on the seismic performance of coupled shear wall systems. In order to force coupling beams to properly work during earthquakes, coupling beams should be designed with accurate shear strength equations. The objective of this study is to propose the accurate shear strength equation for slender diagonally reinforced coupling beams. For this purpose, experimental tests were conducted using three diagonally reinforced coupling specimens with different amount of transverse reinforcement under reversed cyclic loads to evaluate the hysteretic behavior of the specimens. The test results show that transverse reinforcement of slender diagonally reinforced coupling beam affects the maximum strength and drift ratio.

Steel coupling beam in reinforced concrete (RC) coupled shear wall system is a proper substitute for deep concrete coupling beam. Previous studies have shown that RC coupled walls with steel or concrete coupling beam designed with strength-based design approach, may not guarantee a ductile behavior of a coupled shear wall system. Therefore, seismic performance evaluation of RC coupled shear wall with steel or concrete coupling beam designed based on a strength-based design approach is essential. In this paper first, buildings with 7, 14 and 21 stories containing RC coupled shear wall system with concrete and steel coupling beams were designed with strength-based design approach, then performance level of these buildings were evaluated under two spectrum; Design Basis Earthquake (DBE) and Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE). The performance level of LS and CP of all buildings were satisfied under DBE and MCE respectively. In spite of the steel coupling beam, concrete coupling beam in RC coupled shear wall acts like a fuse under strong ground motion.

용매를 사용하지 않고 실리카와 실란커플링제의 반응을 투과 방식 휴리에 변환 적외선 분광법(FTIR)과 열중량 분석법(TGA)을 이용하여 조사하였다. 실란커플링제로 bis[3-(triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide] (TESPT)를 사용하였다. 미반응 TESPT를 제거한 후, FTIR로 화학 결합 형성을 분석하였고 TGA로 반응한 TESPT 함량을 결정하였다. 커플링제의 함량이 증가할수록 실리카에 결합한 커플링제의 양이 증가하였으나, 커플링제를 과량으로 첨가하면 커플링제 간의 축합반응에 의해 올리고머를 형성하였다. 실리카와 커플링제 그리고 고무의 결합을 확인하기 위하여 개질 실리카와 저분자량 액상 BR을 반응시켜 실리카-커플링제-BR 모델 복합체를 제조하여 화학 결합 형성을 조사하였다. 미반응 고무는 용매를 사용하여 제거하였고 FTIR과 TGA로 분석하였다. BR은 개질 실리카의 커플링제와 반응하여 화학 결합을 형성하였다. 실리카-커플링제-BR의 화학 결합 형성으로 인해 실리카 표면의 극성은 크게 낮아졌고 실리카 입자 크기는 커지는 효과를 보였다.

연결보는 지진하중에 효과적으로 저항하기 위하여 적절한 강도, 강성, 변형능력을 지녀야 한다. 특히 스팬-춤 비가 2.0 이하인 대각선다발철근을 갖는 특수전단벽 연결보는 일반 연결보보다 더 높은 강도, 강성, 연성능력을 갖게 되나 대각선다발철근 상세는 시공에 큰 어려움이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제에 대한 해결방안의 하나로서 대각선다발철근 상세를 대체하기 위한 대안상세들이 실험적으로 연구되었다. 실험결과, 앵글형태로 보강된 SA실험체가 대각방향 보강근을 완전히 제거한 SB시리즈의 실험체와 비교하여 더 안정된 거동을 보였으며, 기존의 대각선다발철근상세를 갖는 CA실험체와 비교하여 유사한 강도, 강성, 에너지소산능력과 변형능력(drift)을 나타내었다.

For broadband high-data-rate power line communication with the allocated frequency bandwidth from 2 to 30 MHz on medium voltage (MV) distribution power lines, a signal coupling unit is developed. The coupling unit is composed of a coupling capacitor for coupling communication signal, a drain coil, and an impedance matching part. The coupling capacitor made of ceramic capacitor is designed for transmission property of better than 1 dB in the frequency range. The drain coil is used for preventing low frequency high voltage from junction of medium voltage power line in case that a coupling capacitor is not working properly any more. Also, using ferrite core, a novel broadband impedance matching transformer is developed. A complete coupling unit with a coupling capacitor, a drain coil, and a matching transformer is housed by polymer for good isolation and distinguishing from high voltage electric facilities. Each is fabricated and its frequency behavior is tested. Finally, complete signal couplers are equipped in a MV PLC test bed and their performance are measured. The measurement shows that the coupling capacitor works excellently.

Six large scale models of conventionally reinforced concrete coupling beams with span/depth ratios ranging from 1.17 to 2.00 were tested under monotonically applied shear loads to study their nonlinear behavior using a newly developed test method that maintained equal rotations at the two ends of the coupling beam specimen and allowed for local deformations at the beam-wall joints. By conducting the tests under displacement control, the post-peak behavior and complete load-deflection curves of the coupling beams were obtained for investigation. It was found that after the appearance of flexural and shear cracks, a deep coupling beam would gradually transform itself from an ordinary beam to a truss composed of diagonal concrete struts and longitudinal and transverse steel reinforcement bars. Moreover, in a deep coupling beam, the local deformations at the beam-wall joints could contribute significantly (up to the order of 50%) to the total deflection of the coupling beam, especially at the post-peak stage. Finally, although a coupling beam failing in shear would have a relatively low ductility ratio of only 5 or even lower, a coupling beam failing in flexure could have a relatively high ductility ratio of 10 or higher.

The evanescent wave coupling of a microring resonator is controlled by changing the gap distance between the bus waveguide and the microring waveguide. However, the interdependence of the bus waveguide's width and the coupling is not well understood. In this paper, we investigate the dependence of coupling strength on the bus waveguide's width. The strength of the evanescent wave coupling is analytically calculated using coupled-mode theory (CMT) and numerically calculated by three-dimensional finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) simulation. The analytic and numerical simulation results show that the phase-matching condition in evanescent wave coupling does not provide maximum coupling strength, because both phase-matching and mode confinement influence the coupling. The analytic and simulation results for the evanescent coupling correspond to the experimental results. The optimized bus-waveguide width that provides maximum coupling strength results in intrinsic quality factors of up to 1.3 × 10⁶. This study provides reliable guidance for the design of microring resonators, depending on various applications.

The seismic performance of a coupled shear wall system is governed by the shear resistances of its coupling beams. The plate-reinforced composite (PRC) coupling beam is a newly developed form of coupling beam that exhibits high deformation and energy dissipation capacities. In this study, the shear capacity of plate-reinforced composite coupling beams was investigated. The shear strengths of PRC coupling beams with low span-to-depth ratios were calculated using a softened strut-and-tie model. In addition, a shear mechanical model and calculating method were established in combination with a multi-strip model. Furthermore, a simplified formula was proposed to calculate the shear strengths of PRC coupling beams with low span-to-depth ratios. An analytical model was proposed based on the force mechanism of the composite coupling beam and was proven to exhibit adequate accuracy when compared with the available test results. The comparative results indicated that the new shear model exhibited more reasonable assessment accuracy and higher reliability. This method included a definite mechanical model and reasonably reflected the failure mechanisms of PRC coupling beams with low span-to-depth ratios not exceeding 2.5.
