In connection to the design of high speed vessels, the numerical simulation is carried out to make clear the property of flows and breaking phenomena around the catamaran. It is because the bradking phenome-non is closely related to the free-surface turbulent flow. The free-surface wave and transverse velocity vectors are calculated around the twin and demi hull of the catamaran. Computed results are applied to detect the appearance of sub-breaking waves around the hull. The critical condition for their appearance is studied at two Froude numbers of 0.45 and 0.95. The nu-merical analysis shows that the breaking is more serious near the twin hull rather the demi hull. To simu-late the flows, the Navier-Stokes solver is invoked with a free-surface. The computation is made only in half a domain because it is symmetric in the shape.

In designing full vehicle, crash safety, fuel efficiency, exhaust gas, and driving stability are very important factors. Especially, automotive wheel which supports total vehicle weight is a critical component in view of driving stability. Most of automotive wheel have been manufactured for beautiful appearance by using aluminum alloy in domestic industry. However, the amount of automotive steel wheel used are on an increasing trend according to developing the advanced high strength steel with good formability property recently. In this study, the circumferential deviation of rim with various thickness and yield strength was investigated. The formability evaluation of the rim was developed by using a finite element module furnished by Forge software.

The uniformity of field oxide is critical to isolation property of device in STI, so the control of field oxide thickness in STI-CMP becomes enormously important. The loss of field oxide in shallow trench isolation comes mainly from dishing and erosion in STI-CMP. In this paper, the effect of slurries on the dishing was investigated with both blanket and patterned wafers were selected to measure the removal rate, selectivity and dishing amount. Dishing was a strong function of pattern spacing and types of slurries. Dishing was significantly decreased with decreasing pattern spacing for both slurries. Significantly lower dishing with ceria based slurry than with silica based slurry were achieved when narrow pattern spacing were used. Possible dishing mechanism with two different slurries were discussed based on the observed experimental results.

We numerically investigate the electronic band structure of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) under radial corrugation. Hydrostatic pressure application to CNTs leads to a circumferential wave-like deformation of their initially circular cross-sections, called radial corrugations. Tight-binding calculation was performed to determine the band gap energy as a function of the amplitude of the radial corrugation. We found that the band gap increased with increasing radial corrugation amplitude; then, the gap started to decline at a critical amplitude and finally vanished. This non-monotonic gap variation indicated the metal-semiconductor-metal transition of CNTs with increasing corrugation amplitude. Our results provide a better insight into the structure-property relation of CNTs, thus advancing the CNT-based device development.

The reinforcement of the token, which is based on the token economy currently applied in blockchain-based cryptography, plays a critical role in forming the cryptographic-related ecosystem. Therefore, in this paper, it was investigated the reinforcement principle of token supporting the Token economy for blockchain model. In order to create a healthy ecosystem based on the reinforcement system principle, it is necessary to find ways to secure scalability by seeking consensus between the participants and the market economy structure so that it can generate an influx of more participants than seeking to maximize profits of certain people. Desirable behavior is defined as an action required by ecosystem participants that have the property of making the token ecosystem sustainable, and to do so, each individual receives appropriate incentives (rewards) when taking this action, ultimately encouraging voluntary participation and action by all participants in the ecosystem to optimize the interests of both individuals and participants. The expected benefit of this study may contribute to the establishment of various business models based on the principle of the reinforcement system.

Piezocone test as well as Dilatometer tests are used worldwide to evaluate the engineering properties of clay soils. The common strong point of the two tests is that they can estimate, by the identical test equipment, various properties of soils, which are the unit weight of soils of OCR, K$\sub$o/, undrained shear strength(s$\sub$u/), coefficient of consolidation(c$\sub$h/) and soil classification etc,. A series of the two types of field tests are performed in this study on marine clays with low plasticity at Inchon International Airport construction site to estimate various properties of the soils such as s$\sub$u/, OCR, and c$\sub$h/, which are then compared each other as well as with the results of reference tests. The comparisons show that the way of interpretation is the most critical factor in obtaining confidential results for a certain engineering property for both tests.

The coating cracking on a substrate system was analyzed using a fracture mechanics approach. Multiple cracking in the bending configuration was analyzed using a variational mechanics approach to fracture mechanics of coatin $g_strate system. The strain energy release rate on bending geometry developed permits the prediction of crack growth in the coating layer on a substrate. Also, it can be used appropriately to the characterization of multiple cracking of coating. The obtained critical strain energy release rate (in-situ fracture toughness) will be a material property of coating and it will provide a better insight into coating cracking.ng.

MCPs means Micro Cellular Plastics. The micro-cells are generated in the products by the difference of dissolution through the pressure drop after super critical fluid of CO2 or N2 dissolves into polymer. We have developed injection molding process adopting MCPs and applied it to a broad range of injection molded thermoplastic materials and applications. It can prevent the leakage of impact strength and increase the thermal conductivity, moreover regulate the thermal conductivity. Then we can develop the high strength foaming plastics. Also, it can be gained a competitive advantage by utilizing its processing benefits, e.g. the lightweight products and significant reductions in material consumption.

Geometric correction is a critical step to remove geometric distortions in satellite images. For correct geometric correction, Ground Control Points (GCPs) have to be chosen carefully to guarantee the quality of corrected satellite images. In this paper, we present an automatic approach for geometric correction by constructing GCP Chip database (GCP DB) that is a collection of pieces of images with geometric information. The GCP DB is constructed by exploiting Landsat's nadir-viewing property and the constructed GCP DB is combined with a simple block matching algorithm for efficient GCP matching. This approach reduces time and energy for tedious manual geometric correction and promotes usage of Landsat images.

Removal rate and Within Wafer Non-Uniformity (WIWNU), the most critical issues in Chemical Mechanical Polish (CMP) process, are related to the pressure distribution, wafer shape, slurry flow, mechanical property of pad and etc. Among them, wafer warp generated by other various manufacturing process of wafer may induce the deviation of pressure distribution on the backside of wafer. In the convex shaped wafer the pressure onto the backside of wafer is higher than that of perfectly flat shaped wafer. Besides, such an added pressure is in proportion to the curvature of wafer. That is, the bigger the curvature of wafer becomes the higher the removal rate goes. And the WIWNU is known to be directly related to the pressure distribution on the wafer as well. In other words, the deviation of pressure distribution is in proportion to the WIWNU. In this paper, it is found that the wafer shape may be modified through heating the backside of it and thus properly changed pressure onto the backside of it may improve the WIWNU.
