A multi layered elastic analysis program, IDYSPAP, was developed. The objective of this study was to develop the IDYSPAP program on Graphic User Interface environment for field engineers using Visual Basic, which was considered span of multi-wheels and maximum 4 axles using superposition of linear elastic theorem. It is suggested that this study considers algorithm with dynamic properties of asphalt layer on various temperature and non-linear properties of subbase and subgrade on stress non-linearity for asphalt pavement structure. This Program was modified to divide asphalt layer automatically according to layer division concept. The developed program was verified with initial measuring data in test road sections of KEC (Korea Expressway Co.) using laboratory test results.

We studied thermal diffusion properties diffusion properties of multi-layered Ge-Sb-Te alloy thin films for optical recording media by solving the thermal equation. Based on the numerical analysis of optical energy distribution and absorption inside multi-layered films including temperature gradient and heat transfer simultaneously, we proposed the optimum parameters of the input laser power and the multi-layer structure as follow. i) Input laser power is 18 mW, ii) laser exposure time is 60 ns, iii) the thicknesses of the lower and the upper ZnS-SiO$_2$are 140 nm and 20~30 nm respectively, and iv) thickness of Ge-Sb-Te recording film is 20 nm.

The major purpose of this study is to determine the dynamic behavior of soil-pile-structure interaction system considering the underground cavity. For the analysis, a numerical method fur ground response analysis using FE-BE coupling method is developed. The total system is divided into two parts so called far field and near field. The far field is modeled by boundary element formulation using the multi-layered dynamic fundamental solution that satisfied radiational condition of wave. And this is coupled with near field modeled by finite elements. For the verification of dynamic analysis in the frequency domain, both forced vibration analysis and free-field response analysis are performed. The behavior of soil non-linearity is considered using the equivalent linear approximation method. As a result, it is shown that the developed method can be an efficient numerical method to solve the seismic response analysis considering the underground cavity in 2D problem.

This paper proposes a hierarchical roadmap (HRM) and its construction process to efficiently represent navigable areas in an indoor environment. HRM is adopted to solve the path-planning problems of mobile robots in indoor environments. HRM has a multi-layered graphical structure that enables it to abstract and cover navigable areas using a smaller number of nodes and edges than a probabilistic roadmap. During the incremental process of constructing HRM, information on navigable areas is abstracted using a sonar gridmap when the mobile robot navigates an unexplored area. The HRM-based planner efficiently searches for paths to answer queries by reducing the search space size using the multi-layered graphical structure. The benefits of the proposed HRM are experimentally verified in real indoor environments.

In this paper, three dimensional dynamic infinite elements are developed for the soil-structure interaction analysis in multi-layered halfspace. For the efficient discretization of 3-D for field regions, five types of dynamic infinite elements are developed. They are the horizontal, vertical, upper horizontal conner, lower vertical conner and conner of conner infinite elements. The shape functions of the infinite elements are based on the approximate expressions of the analytical solutions of the propagating waves in the infinite region. Numerical example analyses are presented for demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed infinite elements.

Tape casting technique was successfully applied to produce porous ceramics and multi-layered ceramics containing porous layers, where spherical hollow polymer particles were introduced as pore precursors. In the presence of extreme differences in density and size between Al2O3 and pore precursor particles, hindered settling was effective in preventing segregation of component particles and packing behavior of mixed powders was improved through bimodal packing. There were two transitions in packing behavior of mixed powders. The first transition took place at 40~50 vol% pore precursor addition, where majority of pores changed from close to open pore state. The other transition occured at 60~70 vol% pore precursor addition, where pore precursor particles formed a continuous network structure.

This paper presents characteristics of piezo transformer for AC-DC converter. This transformer uses transverse vibration mode and the origin of the structure was the ring dot type transformer. Because, the ring dot type transformers produce only step-up phenomenon, we made a multi-layered ring dot structure for a step-down output. The characteristics of the transformer were simulated by using the ANSYS. And frequency and voltage were measured by changing the load resistance and current. Frequencies that have the maximum output voltage and current were gradually increased, when the resistance were increased. Output voltage and current show a stable linearity according to the input voltage. The maximum output power was expected greater than 20 [W]. So, we expect that this type of multi-layered step-down ring dot transformer can be adopted for a small AC adapters.
