The along-wind response of a surface-mounted elastic fence under the action of wind was investigated numerically. In the computations, two sets of equations, one for the simulation of the unsteady turbulent flow and the other for the calculation of the dynamic motion of the fence, were solved alternatively. The resulting time-series tip response of the fence as well as the flow fields were analyzed to examine the dynamic behaviors of the two. Results show that the flow is unsteady and is dominated by two frequencies: one relates to the shear layer vortices and the other one is subject to vortex shedding. The resulting unsteady wind load causes the fence to vibrate. The tip deflection of the fence is periodic and is symmetric to an equilibrium position, corresponding to the average load. Although the along-wind aerodynamic effect is not significant, the fluctuating quantities of the tip deflection, velocity and acceleration are enhanced as the fundamental frequency of the fence is near the vortex or shedding frequency of the flow due to the occurrence of resonance. In addition, when the fence is relatively soft, higher mode response can be excited, leading to significant increases of the variations of the tip velocity and acceleration.

After anchoring 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyltriethoxysilane (APTES) onto the surfaces of the channels within ordered mesoporous silica, SBA-15, we dispersed $Cu^{2+}$-perfluorophthalocyanine into the modified SBA-15 channels. From small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) patterns and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, we confirmed that both the calcined and $Cu^{2+}$-perfluorophthalocyanine-incorporated SBA-15 samples possessed ordered periodic structures and hexagonal symmetry lattices (p6mm). The value of the $d_{100}$ spacing was decreased after the incorporation of $Cu^{2+}$-perfluorophthalocyanine into the modified SBA-15 channels. We used FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to characterize both the modified SBA-15 and the $Cu^{2+}$-perfluorophthalocyanine-incorporated SBA-15 samples. From scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and $N_2$ sorption measurements, we found that the $Cu^{2+}$-perfluorophthalocyanine units were incorporated within the modified SBA-15 channels, rather than on the external surfaces of the modified SBA-15 channels.

Transmission electron microscopy has been used to characterize the dislocation structure in hot-pressed titanium diboride. The thin foil samples were prepared by the conventional ion beam thinning technique and reveal the main features associated with the dislocations ; low-angle grain boundaries with dislocation arrays, high-angle grain boundaries with ledges/steps on the boundary planes. The ledges/steps on the grain boundaries were characterized as the origin of defect structures such as dislocation formation or crack propagation near grain boundaries. A fraction of the high angle grain boundaries contained periodic arrays of grain boundary dislocations. The Burger's vectors of the dislocations in the $TiB_{2}$specimens were determined.

Two dimensional(2D) pair-photonic crystals (pair-PCs) have been fabricated by a multiple-exposure nanosphere lithography (MENSL) method using the self-assembled nanospheres as lens-mask patterns and the collimated laser beam as a multiple-exposing source. The arrays of the 2D pair-PCs exhibited variable lattice structures and shape the control of rotating angle (${\Theta}$), tilting angle (${\gamma}$) and the exposure conditions. In addition, the base period or filling factor of pair-PCs as well as their shapes could be changed by experimental conditions and nanosphere size. A 1.18-${\mu}m$-thick resist was spincoated on Si substrate and the multiple exposure was carried out at change of ${\gamma}$ and ${\Theta}$. Images of prepared 2D pair-PCs were observed by SEM. We believe that the MENSL method is a suitable useful tool to realize the pair-periodic arrays of large area.

In this paper, the topology optimization of inner-wall stiffener of cylindrical containers for the use as a rocket fuel tank is presented. Such structures for space mission should have high stiffness against the buck]ins while their weight should be maintained low from the viewpoint of cost and performance. Therefore, in the present work the reciprocal of critical buckling load is adopted as an objective function and the total mass of stiffener is constrained to a prescribed value. Due to the restriction of computational resources a section of cylindrical container is topologically optimized and this result is repeated to obtain the full design. Also, for manufacturability the concept of periodic topology pattern in design domain is newly introduced. In the numerical examples, the results by the proposed approach are investigated and compared with those of isogrid design.

Large Eddy Simulation has been conducted to investigate both stable and unstable flame structures in a swirl turbulent combustor. While a flame is stabilized with periodic dynamic structure at 600K, a slight increase in the flame temperature of inlet mixture, 660K, lead to bifurcation of flame at swirl angle 45 degrees. It was observed that both swirl number and mixture temperature affect a flame bifurcation and the former is a major parameter. One major mechanism contributing to the unstable flame is that the local flame speed overshadows the local flow velocity near the wall of the combustor.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the phenomena of the thermally-induced vibration for the flexible space structure due to abrupt change of radiation heating circumstance using the numerical analyze and experiment test. In order to verify this structure, numerical approaches on the simplified flexible tube were compared with experimental test results at the ground experimental facility In this analyze, it was found that the thermal deformation occurs firstly due to fast radiation heating of flexible structure and then the thermally-induced vibration would be induced due to small periodic change of temperature. According to comparison of numerical and experimental result, in case of no tip mass, the first mode vibration by the numerical analyze was O.78Hz same as that of the experimental result However in case of increase tip-masses of 8g l6g, 50g and 100g, the first modes vibration theoretical analyze were 1.75Hz, 1.3Hz, 0.87Hz and O.73Hz, in decrease trend respectively and those by experimental test were 234Hz, 1.5Hz, O.78Hz and O.78Hz in decrease trend respectively Although using the simpled equation for the estimation, the estimation results were similar to experimental results.

As NPPs' operating times increase, the integrity of nuclear components is continually degraded due to aging effects of systems, structures and components. In addition, for the case of continued operation beyond design life, additional aging effects occurred during the extended operating period lead to more degradation of the integrity of nuclear components. Therefore, it is very important to mange and evaluate the aging to secure the safety of NPPs. Wolsong unit 1 is approaching to its design life of 30 years in 2012. The license renewal documents for continued operation of Wolsong unit 1 Is under reviewing now. In this paper, regulatory technologies for continued operation of Wolsong unit 1 developed by KINS will be introduced. That technologies include the safety review guidelines, regulatory guides for aging management program and regulatory program for audit calculation.

In this paper, modified square loop frequency selective surface for dualband communication antenna systems is proposed, and the scattering characteristics is discussed. The analysis for the problem of scattering by periodic structures with a dielectric slab is formulated using the spectral-domain immittance approach and Floquet's theorem. The method of moments which uses rooftop subdomain basis function is employed to solve the equations. Numerical results include the comparison between the transmission characteristic of general square loop and that of modified square loop. Also, the transmission characteristics of modified square loop for arbitrary incident angle and polarization is presented. To verify analysis results, modified square loop frequency selective surface was fabricated and the calculated results were compared with the measured results. The measured results showed good agreement with the calculated results.
