A dispersion analysis is performed to estimate the stopband characteristics of electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures with defected ground structures (DGS) of various shapes. Design guidelines are suggested for both elliptical and rectangular DGS patterns that result in a maximum stopband bandwidth for a given perforation area. This method provides a basis for numerical optimization techniques that can be used in synthesizing DGS shapes to meet bandgap requirements and layout constraints.

Creating different cutout shapes in order to make doors and windows, reduce the structural weight or implement various mechanisms increases the likelihood of buckling in thin-walled structures. In this study, the effect of cutout shape and geometric imperfection (GI) is simultaneously investigated on the critical buckling load and knock-down factor (KDF) of composite cylindrical shells. The GI is modeled using single perturbation load approach (SPLA). First, in order to assess the finite element model, the critical buckling load of a composite shell without cutout obtained by SPLA is compared with the experimental results available in the literature. Then, the effect of different shapes of cutout such as circular, elliptic and square, and perturbation load imperfection (PLI) is investigated on the buckling behavior of cylindrical shells. Results show that the critical buckling load of a shell without cutout decreases by increasing the PLI, whereas increasing the PLI does not have a great impact on the critical buckling load in the presence of cutout imperfection. Increasing the cutout area reduces the effect of the PLI, which results in an increase in the KDF.

The purpose of this paper is to present a new and efficient optimization algorithm called Jaya for optimum design of steel grillage structure. Constrained size optimization of this type of structure based on the LRFD-AISC is carried out with integer design variables by using cross-sectional area of W-shapes. The objective function of the problem is to find minimum weight of the grillage structure. The maximum stress ratio and the maximum displacement in the inner point of steel grillage structure are taken as the constraint for this optimization problem. To calculate the moment and shear force of the each member and calculate the joint displacement, the finite elements analysis is used. The developed computer program for the analysis and design of grillage structure and the optimization algorithm for Jaya are coded in MATLAB. The results obtained from this study are compared with the previous works for grillage structure. The results show that the Jaya algorithm presented in this study can be effectively used in the optimal design of grillage structures.

Middle size of membrane retractable roof is under 25m span which consists of various moving systems. Sliding carriage is the system that leads the membrane to parking place, transferring the load from the membrane to structural cable. When membrane moves roof, thus, structural behavior of sliding carriage, which may contain various shapes with friction coefficients, should be investigated by vertical load as well as horizontal load. Nummerical simulation of sliding carriage prototypes, in this research, were performed by incrementation of vertical load and horizontal load as well. Consequently, this paper evaluated proper shapes of inner holder of Sliding carriage and evaluated the effective contact area of inner hold.

This paper portrays the design and optimization of a wideband four element triangular dielectric resonator antenna (TDRA) using PSO. The proposed antenna's radiation characteristics were extracted using Ansoft HFSS software. At a resonant frequency of 5-7 GHz, the four element antenna provides nearly 21 percent bandwidth and the optimized gives 5.82 dBi peak gain. The radiation patterns symmetry and uniformity are maintained throughout the operating bandwidth. for WLAN (IEEE 802.16) and WiMAX applications, the proposed antenna exhibits a consistent symmetric monopole type radiation pattern with low cross polarisation. The proposed antenna's performance was compared to that of other dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) shapes, and it was discovered that the TDRA uses a lot less radiation area to provide better performance than other DRA shapes and PSO optimized antenna increases the gain of the antenna

윤곽선 시퀀스는 임의 형상을 간단하면서도 정확하게 표현할 수 있는 좋은 표현법이 될 수 있다. 그러나, 형상을 구성하는 화소로부터 쉽게 구할 수 있는 면적, 무게중심, 오리엔테이션 방향, 투영 히스토그램 등과 같은 형상 특징들을 윤곽선 시퀀스로부터 직접 구하기는 어렵기 때문에, 윤곽선 시퀀스를 임의 형상에 대한 표현법으로 잘 사용하지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 형상 내부의 연속된 화소들로 구성된 수직(또는 수평)의 라인 세그먼트를 의미하는 크로스 섹션 개념을 이용하여, 윤곽선 시퀀스로부터 형상 특징들을 쉽게 구할 수 있음을 보인다. 윤곽선 시퀀스를 한번 순차적으로 탐색함으로써 크로스 섹션을 효율적으로 구할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 이진 영상으로부터 여러 형상의 윤곽선 시퀀스를 자동으로 추출할 수 있는 효율적인 방법도 함께 제안한다. 제안된 방법들은 형상 내부에 홀(hole)이 있는 경우에도 적용할 수 있다. 결과적으로, 윤곽선 시퀀스가 임의 형상 영역에 대한 매우 효과적인 표현이 될 수 있음을 밝힌다.

In composite materials technology, the fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) have opened up new horizons in infrastructural engineering field for strengthening existing structures and components of structure. The Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets are well suited for RC columns to this application because of their high strength to weight ratio, good fatigue properties and excellent resistance to corrosion. The main focus of present experimental work is to investigate effect of shapes on axial behavior of CFRP wrapped RC columns having same cross-sectional area and slenderness ratio. The CFRP volumetric ratio and percentage of steel are also adopted constant for all the test specimens. A total of 18 RC columns with slenderness ratio four were cast. Nine columns were control and the rest of nine columns were strengthened with one layer of CFRP wrap having 35 mm of corner radius. Columns confined with CFRP wrap were designed using IS: 456:2000 and ACI 440.2R.08 provisions. All the test specimens were loaded for axial compression up to failure and failure pattern for each shaped column was investigated. All the experimental results were compared with analytical values calculated as per the ACI-440.2R-08 code. The test results clearly demonstrated that the axial behavior of CFRP confined RC columns is affected with the change in shapes. The axial deformation is higher in CFRP wrapped RC circular column as compared to square and rectangular columns. Stress-strain behaviour revealed that the yield strength gained from CFRP confinement was significant for circular columns as compare to square and rectangular columns. This behaviour may be credited due to effect of shape on lateral deformation in case of CFRP wrapped circular columns at effective confinement action.

The objectives of this study were to determine the natural frequency of a walking-type cultivator's handle using a modal analysis, to determine whether or not the handle resonates with forcing frequency induced by its engine, and to determine a method to reduce the handle vibration using a technique of the operational deflection shapes(ODS). Results of the study are as follows: The natural frequencies of the handle up to third harmonics were found to be 20.4, 22.5 and 92.1 Hz in the vertical direction and 14.9, 93, and 132 Hz in the horizontal direction. It was found that the handle does not resonate with the forcing frequency of the engine, which is 52 Hz. The operational deflection shape analysis revealed the deflected shapes of the handle in the vertical and horizontal directions and suggested that the handle vibration can be reduced by adding some mass to the place where the largest deflection occurs. Attaching of 1.1 kg mass adjacent to the largely deflected area resulted in reductions of vibration from 9.45 to 8.03 m/s$^2$ in x-axis direction from 3.89 to 3.16 m/s$^2$ in y-axis direction and from 7.89 to 3.09 m/s$^2$ in z-axis direction, which are respectively 15, 19 and 61% reductions. The total vibration level was reduced by 29%, indicating that mass-adding method by the ODS is very effective for reducing the handle vibrations of the cultivators.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences of breast shapes by age, to classify breast types, and to investigate the characteristics of breast shapes by type and the distributions of types by age group, using comparative analysis for women in 20's and 40's. The subjects of anthropometry were 323 women in 20's and 40's. The anthropometric measurements were analyzed by mean, standard deviation, frequency, T-test, F-test, Duncan test, factor and cluster analysis. The results are as follws : 1) According to the increase of age, the items of height were decreased and the items of width, depth, circumference and length were increased, being obeser and breast points were dropped. So the volume and bottom area of 40's women's breast were larger than 20's women's and the breast point to breast point width of 40's women was being wider by the increase of the intereior of breast. 2) 6 factor were extracted from factor analysis by age group. There was no significant difference in consist of factor between age group. There was no significant difference in consist of facotr between age group, but were differences in the connection of factor extracted items and factor loading. Through factor analysis of all age froup, 5 factors were extracted as important factor of breast shapes (obesity of breast and location of breast point ; breast height and volume ; upper dimensions of breast/lower dimensions of breast ; interior dimensions of breast/exterior dimensions of breast ; volume of the lower part and drop of breast). 3) The breast shapes were classified into 4 types by cluster analysis. The frequency of 20's women's breast types appeared in order of type1(53.0%), type3(32.0%), type2(11.0%), type4(4.0%), but that of breast types of 40's women appeared in order of type2(37.9%), type3(31.1%), type4(26.5%), type1(4.5%). Namely, there was few type4 in 20's women and few type1 in 40's women. 20's women's breast types were characterized as type1·3 and type2·3·4 in 40's women. So 40's women had more various breast types than 20's women's.
