Probing inside of concrete structures is one of the important steps in assessing condition of the structure. For the assessment, electromagnetic induction method and electromagnetic wave method are currently applied to the measurement of cover depth, and the detection of reinforcement embedded in concrete. To determine detection capability of locating reinforcement embedded in concrete, commercially available nondestructive testing (NDT) equipments have been tested. The equipments include electromagnetic wave system and electromagnetic induction system. In the tests, nine concrete specimens which have the dimensions of 1,000mm(length))${\times}$300mm(width) with thickness varying from 125mm to 150mm are used. The reinforcement are located at 45, 60, 100mm depth from the concrete surface. Horizontal reinforcement spacing has been set over 100mm. From the outcome, it is shown that error is increased as the diameter of reinforcement enlarge in case of using electromagnetic induction method. In case of using electromagnetic wave method, the detection of reinforcement embedded in deep is good in the view of reliability because of using the relative permittivity on the real cover depth.

A design method of an electromagnetic wave absorber with ferrite fins in the second layer, which has very wide band frequency characteristics and is used for single-polarized wave absorption such as TV wave etc, has been designed. To examine the effectiveness of the Equivalent Material Constants Method$(EMCM)^{[1]}$ which is approximate method, the effective complex permittivity calculated by the Hashin-Strikman formulas and the EMCM are compared. Since, furthermore, the reflectivities by the EMCM in space and the FDTD method in an rectangular waveguide agreed well each other, it has been confirmed that the proposed electromagnetic wave absorber has excellent absorption characteristics in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 5830 MHz. Thus, it can be concluded that the EMCM is usefull to design and analyze the electro-magnetic wave absorber proposed here.

In this paper, H-polarized electromagnetic scattering problems by a conductive strip grating between a grounded double dielectric layer are analyzed by applying the FGMM(Fourier-Galerkin Moment Method) known as a numerical method of electromagnetic fileld. The boundary conditions are applied to obtain the unknown field coefficients, and the conductive boundary condition is applied to analysis of the conductive strip. The numerical results for normalized reflected power are analyzed by according as the width and spacing of conductive strip, the relative permittivity and thickness of the grounded double dielectric layers, and incident angles. Generally, as the value of the dielectric constant and dielectric thickness of a grounded double dielectric layer increases, the reflected power increased. And as dielectric thickness of a grounded double dielectric layer increases, the current density induced in the strip center increases. The numerical results for the presented structure of this paper are shown in good agreement compared to those of the existing papers using the PMM(Point Matching Method).

Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) is a non-invasive imaging reconstruction technique that aims at visualization of cross sectional permittivity distribution of dielectric object based on the measured capacitance. There are lots of iterative image reconstruction methods to accelerate convergence rate and enhance quality of reconstructed image, Among them iterative Landweber method is one of the widely used reconstruction algorithm in En. In this paper, modified generalized Landweber method is proposed to accelerate convergence rate. In doing so, acceleration term is considered to the generalized Landweber method with shaping matrix and an optimal step length is determined analytically. Extensive computer simulations are provided to illustrate the reconstruction performance of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, TE(transverse electric) scattering problems by a resistive strip grating between a double dielectric layer are analyzed by using the FGMM(fourier galerkin moment method) known as a numerical method of electromagnetic fileld. The boundary conditions are applied to obtain the unknown field coefficients, the scattered electromagnetic fields are expanded in a series of Floquet mode functions, and the resistive boundary condition is applied to analysis of the resistive strip. In order to deal with the problem of the double dielectric layer, numerical calculation was performed only when the thickness and relative permittivity of the dielectric layers had the same value. Overall, as the resistivity of the uniform resistivity increased, the current density induced in the resistive strip decreased, the reflected power decreased, and the transmitted power relatively increased. The numerical results of the structure proposed in this paper are shown in good agreement compared to the results of PMM, a numerical analysis method of the existing paper.

Lead free positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) ceramics based on $BaTiO_3-(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ solid solution were prepared by a conventional solid state reaction method. The phase structure was showed single phase with perovskite structure regardless calcinations temperature and $Ba_{1-x}(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_xTiO_3$ structure was transformed from tetragonal to orthorhombic phase at $x{\geq}0.15$ mole. The XRD peaks with $45^{\circ}{\sim}46^{\circ}$ shifted in right the influence of crystal structure change and the intensity of peak was decreased with additive $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$. The curie temperature risen with additive $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ but disappeared for $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ addition more than 0.15 mole in TMA. In relative permittivity, the curie temperature by the transform of ferroelectric phase risen with additive $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ but decreased in relative permittivity. Also, the peak of new curie temperature showed the sample containing $0.025{\sim}0.045$ mole of $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ near $70^{\circ}C$ caused by phase transform from ferroelectric to ferroelectric and the peak of new curie temperature disappeared at 0.045 mole of $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$. In our study, it was found that the PTCR in $BaTiO_3-(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ system was possible for $0{\sim}0.025$ mole of $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ and the maximum curie temperature by phase transition showed about at $145^{\circ}C$.

This paper deals with the experimental results of the frequency-dependent resultant ground impedance of vertical ground electrodes installed with a regular n-polygon. In order to propose an effective method of installing the vertically-driven multiple ground electrodes used to obtain the low ground impedance, the resultant ground impedance of ground electrodes installed with a regular n-polygon were measured as functions of the number of ground electrodes and the frequency of test currents and the results were discussed based on the potential interferences among ground electrodes. As a consequence, the effect of potential interference on the resultant ground impedance of vertical ground electrodes is frequency-dependent and it is significant in the low frequency of a few hundreds [Hz]. The resultant ground impedance of multiple vertical ground electrodes is not decreased in linearly proportion to the number of ground electrodes due to the overlapped potential interferences. Also the distributed-parameter circuit model considering the potential interference, the frequency-dependent relative permittivity and resistivity of soil was proposed. The simulated results of the frequency-dependent resultant ground impedance of multiple vertical ground electrodes are in good agreement with the measured data.
