The current study presents a mathematical model and numerical method for free vibration of tapered piles embedded in two-parameter elastic foundations. The method of Discrete Singular Convolution (DSC) is used for numerical simulation. Bernoulli-Euler beam theory is considered. Various numerical applications demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed method for free vibration analysis. The results prove that the proposed method is quite easy to implement, accurate and highly efficient for free vibration analysis of tapered beam-columns embedded in Winkler- Pasternak elastic foundations.

Tapered roller bearings are widely used in high axial-load and radial-load applications. In this study, a numerical analysis is performed to study a finite line contacts EHL problem between a tapered roller and raceway in tapered roller bearings. Converged solutions are obtained for moderate load and material parameters using a finite difference method with non-uniform grids and the Newton-Raphson method. The contours and sectional plots of pressure distribution and film shape are compared. The pressure distribution and film shapes near both ends of the roller are very different from those in the central part and are transversely asymmetric. The maximum pressure and absolute minimum film thickness always occur at the small end of the roller.

In this paper, we proposed a broadband planar Yagi-Uda dipole antenna with dual tapered balance and unblance (balun) by CPW-fed to CPS. This antenna consisted of driver, three directors, dual tapered balun and CPS-fed to CPS. The fed structure of CPW-fed to CPS had a benefit points much simpler than other planar Yagi-Uda antennas and provided design more flexibility in arranging the reflector. The proposed antenna is introduced dual tapered balun to improve the impedance matching. It balun is inserted between the CPW-ground and the CPS. The proposed antenna is exhibited the bandwidth of 4.78 GHz (1.94~6.72 GHz) (S11 < -10 dB) and the gain of 4.9~7.2 dBi within that bandwidth. This antenna will applicate wireless communication.

In this paper, a step type driver dipole antenna with a tapered balance and unbalance (balun) by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) to coplanar strip (CPS) transition is proposed. The proposed antenna consisted of step type driver, a CPW to CPS transition and tapered balun. The proposed antenna is realized the multi and wide resonate frequency band to introduce the step type driver and tapered balun. The step type driver is acted as a director too. This antenna could be more easily designed than the conventional printed quasi-Yagi dipole antenna. The operating frequency bandwidth was 650 [MHz] (2.65~3.3 GHz), 900 [MHz] (4.7~5.6 GHz) under a return-loss criterion of less than 10 dB. The measurements of the proposed antenna exhibited good results in the wideband operating frequency and radiation pattern. The proposed antenna can support wireless communications applications.

A high sensitivity fiber optic temperature sensor based on a side-polished fiber (SPF) coupled to a tapered multimode overlay waveguide (MMOW) is proposed and studied. Both tapered and non-tapered MMOW were considered to study the effect of tapering of MMOW on the characteristics of the device and to investigate the criticality of the uniformity of the multimode overlay waveguide over the SPF. Present study shows that tapering of the MMOW can be used to tune the desired wavelength range without any loss in the sensitivity. Sensitivity up to 9 nm/$^{\circ}C$ within the temperature range of 25 to $100^{\circ}C$ can be achieved with the proposed sensor, almost 6 times higher compared even to state-of-the-art high-sensitivity grating-based fiber optic temperature sensors.

This paper has the object of investigating natural frequencies of tapered thick plate on Pasternak foundation by means of finite element method and providing kinetic design data for mat of building structures. Vibration analysis for tapered thick plate subjected to in-plane stress is presented in this paper. Finite element analysis of rectangular plate is done by use of rectangular finite element with 8-nodes. Analysis conditions of tapered thick plate are as follows each. The ratio of in-plane stress to critical load is varied with $0.2\sigma_{cr}$, $0.4\sigma_{cr}$, $0.6\sigma_{cr}$. The Winkler parameter is 0, 10, 100, 1000, the shear foundation parameter is 0, 10 and the taper ratio is 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8.

일반적으로 보아 고유진동수는 주어진 보의 진동해석 및 동적 안정해석에서 대단히 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러나 보의 단면이 부재축에 따라 연속적으로 변할 때의 고유진동수 산정은 해석적 방법으로는 불가능하거나 대단히 복잡한 것이 보통이기 때문에 수치해석법을 이용하게 된다. 여기서는 유한요소법에 의하여 고유진동수를 산정하였으며 수치해석법의 결과를 일반화하기 위하여 taper ratio를 변수로 하는 회귀식을 제안하였다. 회귀식을 이용한 고유진동수의 추정치는 해석적 방법으로 얻어진 값 또는 수치해석 결과로부터 얻어진 값들과 비교적 잘 일치한다.

A modeling method for the modal analysis of a multi-packet blade system having tapered cross section undergoing rotational motion is presented in this paper. Blades are idealized as tapered cantilever beams that are fixed to a rotating disc. The stiffness coupling effects between blades due to the flexibilities of the disc and the shroud are modeled with discrete springs. Hybrid deformation variables are employed to derive the equations of motion. To obtain more general information, the equations of motion are transformed into dimensionless forms in which dimensionless parameters are identified. The effects of the dimensionless parameters including tapered ratio and the number of packets as well as blades on the modal characteristics of the system are investigated with some numerical examples.

In an attempt to develop a novel process for ethanol production from starch, a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process using Zymomonas mobilis and amyloglucosidase (AMG) was studied in continuous modes. Compared with a conventional cylindrical column type of fermentor, the tapered column type of fermentor was found to be superior in terms of reactor performance for ethanol fermentation. The tapered columm fermentor packed with coimmobilized Z. mobilis and AMG alleviated the problems which were associated with CO2 evolution and provided a significantly better flow pattern for both liquid and gas phases in the fermentor without channelling. However, the fluidized bed type of tapered column fermentor using flocculent strain of Z. mobiles and immobilized AMG showed lower productivity (5.2g/1/h) than that of packed bed type of tapered column fermentor(9.2g/l/h).

This paper explores the geometrical non-linear behavior of the simply supported tapered beams subject to the trapezoidal distributed load and end moments. In order to apply the Bernoulli -Euler beam theory to this tapered beam, the bending moment equation on any point of the elastical is obtained by the redistribution of trapezoidal distributed load. On the basis of the bending moment equation and the BErnoulli-Euler beam theory, the differential equations governging the elastical of such beams are derived and solved numerically by using the Runge-Jutta method and the trial and error method. The three kinds of tapered beams (i.e. width, depth and square tapers) are analyzed in this study. The numerical results of non-linear behavior obtained in this study from the simply supported tapered beams are appeared to be quite well according to the results from the reference . As the numerical results, the elastica, the stress resultants and the load-displacement curves are given in the figures.
