Transmission characteristics of long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) fabricated by periodically etching a conventional single-mode fiber (SMF) are investigated. After coating the SMF with photoresist, the cladding of the SMF is symmetrically and periodically removed by using a wet etching technique resulting in the formation of the LPFG. Tensile strain reinforces the coupling strength between the core and the cladding mode based on the photoelastic effect. The extinction ratio of the SMF-based LPFG at a wavelength of 1550.8 nm is measured to be -15.1 dB when the applied strain is $600{\mu}{\varepsilon}$. The ascent of ambient index shifts the resonant wavelength to shorter wavelength because of the increase of the effective refractive index of the cladding mode. The extinction ratio is diminished by increase in the ambient index because of the induction of the optical attenuation of the cladding mode. The transmission characteristics of the proposed LPFG with variations in torsion are also measured. The photoelastic effect based on torsion changes the extinction ratio and the resonant wavelength of the proposed SMF-based LPFG. The polarization-dependent loss of the LPFG is also increased by torsion because of the torsion-induced birefringence. The polarization-dependent loss of the LPFG at torsion of 8.5 rad/m is measured to be 3.9 dB.

유체 시스템에서 히스테리시스 현상은 다양한 산업 및 공학의 응용 분야에서 발생하며, 주로 압력비의 시간변화 과정에서 발생한다. 초음속 노즐에서 충격파를 포함한 유동장은 이러한 히스테리시스 현상의 지배적인 영향을 받는다. 그러나 이와 관련된 유동의 물리적 현상에 대해서는 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 노즐구동압력비의 변화 과정 동안 초음속 노즐의 유동을 파악하기 위해 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 순간 표면압력을 측정하기 위하여 다수의 압력변환기를 사용하였으며, 유동장의 가시화는 나노스파크 광원을 가지는 쉴리렌 가시화 장치를 이용하였다. 본 연구로부터, 히스테리시스 현상은 노즐의 기하학적 형상뿐만 아니라 압력비의 시간변화에 크게 의존하였다.

This research article reported the nonlinear finite solutions of the nonlinear flexural strength and stress behaviour of nano sandwich graded structural shell panel under the combined thermomechanical loading. The nanotube sandwich structural model is derived mathematically using the higher-order displacement polynomial including the full geometrical nonlinear strain-displacement equations via Green-Lagrange relations. The face sheets of the sandwich panel are assumed to be carbon nanotube-reinforced polymer composite with temperature dependent material properties. Additionally, the numerical model included different types of nanotube distribution patterns for the sandwich face sheets for the sake of variable strength. The required equilibrium equation of the graded carbon nanotube sandwich structural panel is derived by minimizing the total potential energy expression. The energy expression is further solved to obtain the deflection values (linear and nonlinear) via the direct iterative method in conjunction with finite element steps. A computer code is prepared (MATLAB environment) based on the current higher-order nonlinear model for the numerical analysis purpose. The stability of the numerical solution and the validity are verified by comparing the published deflection and stress values. Finally, the nonlinear model is utilized to explore the deflection and the stresses of the nanotube-reinforced (volume fraction and distribution patterns of carbon nanotube) sandwich structure (different core to face thickness ratios) for the variable type of structural parameter (thickness ratio, aspect ratio, geometrical configurations, constraints at the edges and curvature ratio) and unlike temperature loading.

Undoped GaAs has been successfully grown by chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) via surface decomposition process using arsine $(AsH_3)$ and trimethylgallium (TMG). Three distinct regions of temperature-dependent growth rates were identified in the range of temperatures from 570 to $690^{\circ}C$. The growth rates were found strongly dependent on the V/III ratio between 5 and 30. The growth rate at low V/III ratio seems to be determined by arsenic produced on the surface, whereas at high V/III ratio it shows dependence on the adsorption of TMG. Hall measurement and photoluminescence (PL) analysis show that the films are all p-type and that carbon impurities are primarily responsible for the background doping. Carbon concentrations have been found to be reduced by two orders of magnitude as compared to those of epilayers grown by CBE which employs TMG and arsenic obtained from precracked $AsH_3$ in a high temperature cell. It was also found that hydrogen atoms dissociated from unprecracked $AsH_3$ play an important role in removing hydrocarbon-containing species resulting in a significant reduction of car-bon impurities.

Ussing's flux ratio theorem (1978) reflects a reciprocal relationship behavior between the unidirectional fluxes in asymmetric steady diffusion-convection in a membrane slab. This surprising result has led to many subsequent studies in a wide range of applications, in particular involving linear models of time dependent problems in biology and physiology. Ussing's theorem and its extensions are inherently linear in character. It is of considerable interest to ask to what extent these results apply, if at all, in situations involving, for example, nonlinear reaction. A physiologically interesting situation has been considered by Weisiger et at. (1989, 1991, 1992) and by McNabb et al. (1990, 1991) who studied the role of albumin in the transport of ligands across aqueous diffusion barriers in a liver membrane slab. The results are that there exist reciprocal relationships between unidirectional fluxes in the steady state, although albumin is chemically interacting in a nonlinear way of the diffusion processes. However, the results do not hold in general at early times. Since this type of study first started, it has been speculated about when and how the Ussing's flux ratio theorem fails in a general diffusion-convection-reaction system. In this paper we discuss the validity of Ussing-type theorems in time-dependent situations, and consider the limiting time behavior of a general nonlinear diffusion system with interaction.

It is important to find a accurate root canal length or successful endodontic therapy. By X-ray method takes a long time and difficult in a curved canal. After developed electronic apex locator has allowed to measure the root canal length with easy, in a short time also in a curved canal. But most electronic apex locators have the disadvantage which is too short reading or sometimes the measurement itself becomes impossible if there are electrolytes in the canal. To overcome this drawback, impedance ratio method has been developed. In this study, we have developed frequency dependent electronic apex locator to minimize the interference of electrolytes. And based on that also some error in clinic use, we added the other method. Difference of two signals which are used in calculation of impedance ratio was can be represent the status of root canal fluid. As a result, using impedance ratio method and auto-calibration by voltage difference method can reduce the measurement error.

We have reported structural and optical properties of self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) grown by molecular beam epitaxy with different arsenic to indium flux ratios (V/III ratios). By increasing the V/III ratio from 9 to 160, average diameter and height of the InAs QDs decreased, but areal density of them increased. The InAs QDs grown under V/III ratio of 30 had a highest-aspect-ratio of 0.134 among them grown with other conditions. Optical property of the InAs QD was investigated by the temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) and integrated PL. From the temperature dependence PL measurements of InAs QDs, the activation energies of $E_{a1}$ and $E_{a2}$ for the InAs QDs were obtained $48{\pm}3meV$ and $229{\pm}23meV$, respectively. It was considered that the values of $E_{a1}$ and $E_{a2}$ are corresponded to the energy difference between ground-state and first excited state, and the energy difference between ground-state and wetting layer, respectively.

A frozen fringe plays a key role in frost heave development in soils. Previous studies have focused on the physical and mechanical properties of the frozen fringe, such as overall hydraulic conductivity, water content and pore pressure. It has been proposed that the thickness of the frozen fringe controls frost heave behavior, but this effect has not been thoroughly evaluated. This study used a temperature-controllable cell to investigate the impact of frozen fringe thickness on the characteristics of frost heave. A series of laboratory tests was performed with various temperature boundary conditions and specimen heights, revealing that: (1) the amount and rate of development of frost heave are dependent on the frozen fringe thickness; (2) the thicker the frozen fringe, the thinner the resulting ice lens; and (3) care must be taken when using the frost heave ratio to characterize frost heave and evaluate frost susceptibility because the frost heave ratio is not a normalized factor but a specimen height-dependent factor.

The free vibration frequency responses of the graded flat and curved (cylindrical, spherical, hyperbolic and elliptical) panel structures investigated in this research considering the rectangular and tilted planforms under unlike temperature loading. For the numerical implementation purpose, a micromechanical model is prepared with the help of Voigt's methodology via the power-law type of material model. Additionally, to incur the exact material strength, the temperature-dependent properties of each constituent of the graded structure included due to unlike thermal environment.

The present article focuses on the thermoelastic deformation behavior of inhomogeneous functionally graded metal/ceramic cylindrical shell structure with multiple perforations using 2D finite element approximation. Here, cylindrical shell structure is considered with single (1×1) and multiple (2×2, 3×3 and 4×4) perforations. The temperature-dependent elastic and thermal properties of functionally graded material are evaluated using Voigt's micromechanical material scheme via power-law function. The kinematics of the proposed model is based on the equivalent single-layer first-order shear deformation mid-plane theory with five degrees-of-freedom. Here, 2D isoparametric finite element solutions are obtained using eight-node quadrilateral elements. The mesh refinement of present finite element model is performed to confirm the appropriate number of elements and nodes for the analysis purpose. Subsequently, a comparison test is conducted to demonstrate the accuracy of present results. In later section, numerous numerical illustrations are demonstrated at different set of conditions by varying structural, material and loading parameters and that confirms the significance of various parameters such as power-law index, aspect ratio, thickness ratio, curvature ratio, number of perforations and temperature on the deformation characteristics of functionally graded cylindrical shell structure.
