General1y, H-section is used for columns and beams in the middle and low steel building, But it has a strong and weak axis. Thus if H-section is used for columns, the structure needs reinforcement on the weak axis. Therefore recently, square holler section(S.H.S) is used for columns because it is able to coiler the vulnerability of H-section. Structural analysis is usually executed under the assumption that connections are either ideally pinned joint or fully rigid joint. Actually all connections are semi-rigid which possess a rotational stiffness. Therefore it can be designed economically as using the property of connections which has a rotational stiffness. This paper presents a prediction model curve which is fitted Kishi-Chen power Model about the behavior of connection between H-beam and S.H.S column. Non-linear analysis program was considered the non-linearity of semi-rigid connection and the geometrical non-linearity under the effect of axial force. It was programed by FORTRAN90 and Visual Basic.

The durability test, along with the crashworthiness test, requires the most time and expense in the vehicle development process. The durability design using CAE tools reduces the time required for both the durability test and actual vehicle production. Existing dynamic stress analyses designed fir the analysis of vehicle fatigue mainly calculate the dynamic stress history and fatigue after performing dynamic analysis and stress analysis with relevant software applications and then superpositioning the dynamic load history and stress influence coefficient at each joint. This approach is a complex process, taking into account the flexibility of the parts. It is, however, incapable of giving accurate consideration to the contacts between components, the non-linearity of materials, and tire-road surface interactions. This approach also requires that the analysts have an expertise in software applications of various kinds or an expert in each area must perform the analysis. This requires as a great deal of manpower and time. In order to complement the existing approaches for dynamic stress analysis, this study aims at the following: (1) to suggest the simple and accurate analysis technique which is capable of producing all the possible necessary results; (2) to reduce dramatically the time and manpower needed to construct a model designed to analyze dynamics, quasi-static stress, and fatigue; and (3) to enable an accurate analysis of fatigue by improving the accuracy of dynamic stress. we verify the presented analysis method through durability evaluation of the knuckle of passenger car.

This paper reports an application of Doherty amplifier for efficiency improvement of feedforward power amplifier(FPA). For performance analysis, we measured 15 W average output power using WCDMA 4FA input signal with a center frequency 2.14 GHz. The applied Doherty amplifier presents the characteristics of high efficiency and low linearity in comparison to the class AB amplifier, and it was used as main amplifier of FPA fir efficiency improvement. To analyze the change of characteristic, tow Doherty amplifiers whose linearity and efficiency are different were applied. The applied FPAs are improved about $2\%$ or more performance in efficiency, but decreased in linearity on 15 W average output power. We additionally modified the coupling factor(CF) of the error loop and the error amplifier capacity for linearity improvement. Aa a result, the efficiency improvement and high linearity resulted from the change of CF and error amplifier capacity. However, we think if the linearity of Doherty amplifier were more than 35 dBc, the FPA would improve the performance about $2\%$ or more efficiency and maintain enough linearity.

This paper deals with the performance analysis of LIPCA(Light-weight Piezo-Composite actuator) including the material nun-linearity of the embedded 3203HD PZT wafer. For this analysis, we used a piezo-shell element code based on a nine-node assumed strain shell element formulation. The material non-linearity was implemented in the formulation due to a large observed discrepancy between the measured displacement and the computed actuation displacement based on the linear analysis. An experimentally extracted piezo-strain function of the PZT wafer and incremental formulation were incorporated into the linear finite element code to improve the accuracy of the estimated actuation displacement of the LIPCA. The non-linear piezo-shell program was used to predict the non-linear performance of the LIPCA. The simulated actuation displacement from the non-linear code showed much better agreement with the measured data.

This study was conducted to identify the proper analytical conditions regarding optical density for endotoxin analysis in the workplace using metalworking fludis. Our study found the "onset method" was more accurate than "time to Vmax" Reproducibility and accuracy analyzed by "onset method" was more greater than those by "time to Vmax""0.03"of optical density was the most appropriate analytical condition among onset method. Through this analytical condition, 0.998 of linearity was obtained and recovery rate ranged from 88％ to 105％ at endotoxin concentration below 5 EU/$m\ell$. No significant difference of endotoxins between "0.03"and "0.05" of optical density was observed from this study. Furthermore, correlation coefficients between them were statistically significant(p＜0.01). This study concluded that 0.03”or "0.05" of optical density is used to analyze endotoxin. Of these optical density value, value with higher linearity should be used to analyze endotoxin in environmental samples.

We have examined how sensitively the extinction value determined by the method of star-count depends on such factors as the plate limit, the size of counting reseau, the non-linearity in the number distribution of stars with magnitude, and the angular resolution demanded by the given problem. We let the Poisson distribution portray the statistical nature of the countings, and chose the region containing the globule Barnard 361 as an example field. Uncertainties due to various combinations of the factors are presented in graphic forms: (1) Dynamic range in the extinction measurements is evaluated as a function of reseau size for varying plate limits. (2) Statistical errors involved in the star-count are analized in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio, the plate limit and the reseau size. (3) Systematic error due to the non-linearity in the number distribution are thoroughly analized. (4) Finally, a methodology is presented for correcting the systematic error in the observed radial density gradient. These graphs are meant to be used in selecting proper size of the reseau and in estimating errors inherent to the star-count analysis.

Dynamic analysis of a plate with non-linearity due to large deformation is performed in the study. There have been many researches about the non-linear dynamic behavior of plates examining by means of theoretical or numerical analyses. But it is important how exactly model the actual system. In this respect, the Continuous-Time system identification technique is used to generate non-linear models, for stiffness and damping terms, to explain the observed behaviors with single mode assumptions for the simplicity after comparing the experimental results with the numerical results of a linear plate model.

In this paper, geometrically non-linear finite element analyses were performed to study the mechanical behavior of the material system of the envelope of stratospheric airships. The microstructure of the load­bearing plain weave layer was identified and modeled. The Updated Lagrangian formulation was employed to consider the geometric non-linearity as well as the induced structural non-linearity for the fiber tows. The stress-strain behavior was predicted and the effective elastic modulus was calculated by numerical experiments. It was found the non-linear stress-strain curves were largely different from those by linear analysis with much higher non-linear elastic moduli. The difference was more distinguishable when the tow waviness was smaller.

The flaw assessment method based on ${delta}_5$ parameter was recently proposed and put to the practical use. However: since it is almost impossible to measure the ${delta}_5$ by the existing commercial clip gager, we need to develope the specially designed gages which are suitable for that purpose. In this research, a double cantilever type ${delta}_5$ clip gage with the traveling distance of 4mm was developed by the finite element analysis and the construction of Wheatstone bridge circuit including strain gages. The linearity of developed ${delta}_5$ clip gage was evaluated by the MTS extensometer calibrator with the proper adapters which allow the 6s clip gage to sit on the calibrator. Consequently, the 6s clip gage revealed the good linearity between the output voltage and the traveling distance of gage.
