Recently, the response of a high-rise building to external dynamic force created by wind and earthquake has received much attention. This response is dependent on wind intensity, surrounding environment, building size, shape, mass, stiffness and amount of energy dissipation available in the system. The study has been done on these parameters. Attempts have been made to increase the damping in building system and thereby reduce structural response. These attempts have centered on adding an energy-dissipative system(passive tuned mass damper; passive TMD) to the building system and increasing the overall effective damping. In this paper the optimum condition of passive TMD will be derived with respect to random excitation and the properties of the optimum condition will have been studied.

ZnO transparent conducting thin film, which is a strong candidate for a transparent electrical contact in optoelectronic devices, was prepared by the vapour spraying method on the slide glass in nitrogen ambient at the atmospheric pressure. The structural, optical and electrical properties of films show a strong dependence on substrate temperature, and the optimum range of deposition temperature existed to obtain TCO(Transparent Conducting Oxide) films. At the higher temperatures, milky films were obtained. In such optimum range, the bandgap in ZnO films was determined from the spectral dependence of absorption coefficient and electrical characteristics were characterized with by the Hall mobility and carrier concentration.

This investigation was undertaken to establish the technologies of grain refinement and modification, and to characterize material properties, essential for high quality aluminum alloy castings. Grain refinement seldom changed DAS and eutectic Si size, but largely decrease grain size. The variations of grain size induced by grain refinement had a great influence on the elongation without changes in the tensile strength or yield strength. The optimum Ti level lies between 0.1% and 0.16% to achieve the best possible mechanical properties. DAS and grain size were little affected, but eutectic Si size was greatly refined by modification. The variation of eutectic Si size had a great effect on the elongation, impact value, fracture toughness and fatigue crack propagation rate without changes in the tensile strength or yield strength. The Sr content of 0.015% is optimum to modification.

In2O3: Sn(ITO) transparent conducting films were fabricated by the electron beam evaporation method. The dependence of their electrical and optical properties on deposition conditions were examined. The optimum evaporation conditions were such that the deposition rate was 5-10\ulcornersec, oxygen partial pressure was 4x10**_4 torr, substate temperatudre was above 300\ulcorner, and SnO2 doping rate was 10 mol%. The values of sheet resistance and transmittance of the films in visible region fabricated under these optimum conditins were 12\ulcorner/ and 87-99%, respecively. And the energy conversion efficiency of the SIS solar cell fabricated using ITO was 9.16%. It is shown that the transparent conducting films can be applied to the TV camear pick-up tube and solar cell.

Nowadays, the fiber which mixed with concrete matrix always has low adhesion with cement paste. It's difficult to use fiber to reinforce the structure. For more adding fiber in concrete would cause some problems as the low flowability and surface polishing. Further study is needed in fiber using. In this research, further study in fiber reinforced concrete has been invested. Various fibers with different properties have been used to prevent cracking. Fiber reinforced concrete's fundamental properties as slump, air content, compressive strength and tensile strength have been tested. Optimum type of the fiber and optimum addition ratio of fiber has been invested to increase the utility of the fiber which used in concrete.

In blind signal processing in impulsive noise environment the maximum cross-correntropy (MCC) algorithm shows superior performance compared to MSE-based algorithms. But optimum weight conditions of MCC algorithm and its properties related with robustness to impulsive noise have not been studied sufficiently. In this paper, through the analysis of the behavior of its optimum weight and the relationship with the MSE-based LMS algorithm, it is shown that the optimum weight of MCC and MSE-based LMS have an equal solution. Also the factor that keeps optimum weight of MCC undisturbed and stable under impulsive noise is proven to be the magnitude controlled input through simulation.

Quadrupole ion trap mass analyzer with a simplified geometry, namely, the cylindrical ion trap (CIT), has been shown to be well-suited using in miniature mass spectrometry and even in mass spectrometer arrays. Computation of stability regions is of particular importance in designing and assembling an ion trap. However, solving CIT equations are rather more difficult and complex than QIT equations, so, analytical and matrix methods have been widely used to calculate the stability regions. In this article we present the results of numerical simulations of the physical properties and the fractional mass resolutions m/Δm of the confined ions in the first stability region was analyzed by the fifth order Runge-Kutta method (RKM5) at the optimum radius size for both ion traps. Because of similarity the both results, having determining the optimum radius, we can make much easier to design CIT. Also, the simulated results has been performed a high precision in the resolution of trapped ions at the optimum radius size.

To design an optimum engine intake system, a flow model for the intake manifold was developed by the finite difference method. The flow in the intake manifold was one-dimensional, and the finite difference equations were derived from governing equations of flow, continuity, momentum and energy. The thermodynamic properties of the cylinder were found by the first law of thermodynamics, and the boundary conditions were formulated using steady flow model. By comparing the calculated results with experimental data, the appropriate boundary conditions and convergence limits for the flow model were established. From this model, the optimum manifold lengths at different engine operating conditions were investigated. The optimum manifold length became shorter when the engine speeds were increased. The effect of intake valve timings on inlet air mass was also studied by this model. Advancing intake valve opening decreased inlet air mass slightly, and the optimum intake valve closing was found. The difference in inlet air mass between cylinders was very small in this engine.

The optimum loading of carbon black was studied for the rubber compounds of natural rubber(NR), butadiene rubber(BR), and styrene-butadiene rubber(SBR) with different amount of oil. The optimum loading of carbon black was determined by the volume ratio of carbon black and L factor of Lee's theory. The optimum loading of carbon black was confirmed by the examination of physical properties of the rubbers. The optimum loading amounts of carbon black for the each rubber compound were 60 phr for NR, 57 phr for BR, 65 phr for SBR-A, 70 phr for SBR-B, and 76 phr for SBR-C, respectively. The optimum loading of carbon black was increased by 5 phr for every increment of 20 phr of oil content. It was revealed that the optimum loading amount of carbon black determined by L factor is closely related to the tensile strength of the rubber compounds. The optimum loading amount of carbon black was observed at the amount which shows the maximum value of tensile strength.

Papers were prepared from cut cocoons and mulberry branches, which are byproducts from sericulture industry. The long filament of silk should be cut into appropriate length in order to prepare paper and this was achieved by chemical method. By a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate solution, the silk filaments were cut into short fibers (less than 1 mm in length). Since the short silk fibers (sSf) could not bind each other by itself, starch and poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO) were added as a bonding agent. When starch and PEO were used in a ratio of 3:7, the silk papers had optimum mechanical properties for paper. Fibers from the skin of mulberry branches (MBF) were added to sSf to enhance the mechanical properties of pure silk paper. Bleaching of MBF was performed with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and sodium silicate. The mechanical properties were greatly enhanced and the optimum blend ratio of MBF and sSf were 7:3. The mulberry/silk paper has good absorption property against formaldehyde, and therefore, the paper could be applied as a wall paper for preventing the sick house syndrome.
