A rigorous analysis method of electromagentic scattering from frequency selective surface with gridded square loop elements in case of oblique incident and arbitrary polarization is presented, which uses the roof-top subdomain basis function. The frequency response and polarization characteristics of the reflected wave and the transmitted wave for various widths of the grid and the conductor square loop, and for the various gaps between the grid and the conductor square loop, and for the various gaps between the grid and square loop is investigated. To confirm the validity of presented method, frequency selective surfaces with gridded square loop elements are fabricated with honeycomb structures, calculate dvalues for the frequency response of the reflected wave and the transmitted wave for arbitrary incident angle and polarization are compared with measured values.

High rock-fill embankment is relatively flexible, which makes crest of embankment subject to excessive amplification in displacement due to earthquake loading. To overcome problems related with site response in high embankment, it is essential to evaluate shear-wave velocity profile of the embankment with improved accuracy and reliability. In this aspect, an experimental research was performed to answer how to perform surface-wave tests and to analyze measurements at an embankment site with a sloping ground surface. Unlike flat ground surface, sloping ground may hamper and slow down propagation of surface waves due to multiple reflections and refractions in embankment. To figure out this reasoning for the effect of multiple reflections and refractions due to sloping surface, surface wave tests were performed at a reservoir embankment of Chung-Song in North KyeongSang Province. Parameters involved in surface wave tests at non-flat surface, including source directionality, geometry-related constraint and frequency components in source function, were investigated using field measurements.

Dynamic interaction analysis of surface structure on layered half-space is performed in frequency domain under incident wave excitation. This present study adopts a coupling method that combines the finite element(FE) for the flexible structures and boundary element(BE) for the layered half-space. A semi-analytical approach is employed to reduce the integration range of wavenumbers in the BE formula. For the incident wave input, the response is decomposed and formulated after the impedance matrix for the structure system. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the method. The examples show the feasibility of an extended application to the complicated dynamic analysis of structures on layered media under incident wave excitation.

Herein the dynamic response of an axisymmetric buoy to regular wave is studied within linear potential theory. The buoy has a particular geometry so that it should experience minimum wave-exiting force on the vertical direction at a precribed wave number in water of finite depth. Invoking the Green's theorem a velocity potential is generated by distributing pulsating sources and doublets on the immersed surface of the buoy at its mean position. Hydrodynamic forces and moments are obtained approximately by summation of the products of linear pressure and directional mesh area over the immersed surface. Model tests are carried out to measure the wave-exciting forces, hydrodynamic forces and motion responses. The experimental results in general agree fairly well with the numerical ones. From the analytical and experimental works it is found that the pitching motion and its coupling effect affect significantly the motion characteristics of the freely-floating axisymmetric buoy in regular waves.

The paper involves the study on the elastic and elasto-plastic stress wave propagation in the 1-D and 2-D solid media. The Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics equations governing the elastic and elasto-plastic large deformation dynamic response of solid structures are presented. The proposed additional stress points are introduced in the formulation to mitigate the tensile instability inherent in the SPH approach. Both incremental rate approach and leap-frog algorithm for time integration are introduced and the new solution algorithm is developed and implemented. Two examples on stress wave propagation in aluminium bar and 2-D elasto-plastic steel plate are included. Results from the proposed SPH approach are compared with available analytical values and finite element solutions. The comparison illustrates that the stress wave propagation problems can be effectively solved by the proposed SPH method. The study shows that the SPH simulation is a reliable and robust tool and can be used with confidence to treat transient dynamics such as linear and non-linear transient stress wave propagation problems.

Micro wave seeker detects micro wave signal reflecting from a object and modifies the angle of a antenna in the direction of a reflecting signal. Gimbal structure makes a motion in the direction of an elevation axis and an azimuth axis and change the direction of a missile toward a object. As before, Micro wave seeker is a important part of a missile. Especially, gimbal structure is designed to resist a external force generated by a strong propelling power. For that reason, it is essential to analyze a vibration feature of gimbal structure. In this paper, we analyze dynamic characteristics of a gimbal structure of a micro wave seeker. And we measure frequency response functions of a gimbal structure in order to investigate the effect of a pre-load on bearing.

This paper is to study and develope a measurement apparatus for ferroelectricity. The apparatus consists of wave generation part, high voltage amplifier part, measurement part, data acquisition part and the related controll circuits. Single or double excitation wave is digitalized and sent to the external RAM of wave generation part by personal computer. These datas saved in the RAM are converted to analog excitation wave through D/A converter. The frequency of excitation wave is depend on the read-out speed of the RAM by clock pulse. Such generated wave is applied to high voltage amplifier as a input voltage. The output of high voltage amplifier is applied to ferroelectrics and the response is obtained from the charge amplifier of measurement part. The response is sampled and converted to digital datas through AID converter. These digital datas are automatically saved in the external RAM of acquisition part. The computer takes the digital datas and calculates the electric displacement D, the electric field and the dielectric constant $\varepsilon$. We tested for PZT ceramic sample and could observed the D-E hysteresis lops and ${\varepsilon}_s$-E hysteresis loops with good forms.

Time series of the dynamic response of a slender marine structure was predicted using quadratic Volterra series. The wave-structure interaction system was identified using the NARX(Nonlinear Autoregressive with Exogenous Input) technique, and the network parameters were determined through the supervised training with the prepared datasets. The dataset used for the network training was obtained by carrying out the nonlinear finite element analysis on the freely standing riser under random ocean waves of white noise. The nonlinearities involved in the analysis were both large deformation of the structure under consideration and the quadratic term of relative velocity between the water particle and structure in Morison formula. The linear and quadratic frequency response functions of the given system were extracted using the multi-tone harmonic probing method and the time series of response of the structure was predicted using the quadratic Volterra series. In order to check the applicability of the method, the response of structure under the realistic ocean wave environment with given significant wave height and modal period was predicted and compared with the nonlinear time domain simulation results. It turned out that the predicted time series of the response of structure with quadratic Volterra series successfully captures the slowly varying response with reasonably good accuracy. It is expected that the method can be used in predicting the response of the slender offshore structure exposed to the Morison type load without relying on the computationally expensive time domain analysis, especially for the screening purpose.

Remotely Operated Vehicle of 6000-meters is a new conceptual equipment made to replace the manned systems for investigating the deep-sea environment, and all of the ROV systems in operational condition strongly depend on the connecting cables. In this point of view dynamics of the ROV cable system is very important for operational and safety aspects as a cable generally encounters great tension. Researches have been executed on this problem, and most of papers have been mainly focused on the operational condition of ROV system in deep sea. This paper presents the dynamic cable response analysis during ROV launching condition rather than the operational one in order to provide the design guide of a ROV cable system in this circumstance, considering the coupling effects between cable and wave-induced ship motion. To obtain the variations of cable tensions during a ROV launching, a pre-stressed harmonic response analysis was carried out. Wave-induced tensions of the cable during ROV launching were obtained in real sea states using FE modeling, and the basic design guide of a ROV cable system was obtained.

This study aims to investigate the stochastic response of isolated and non-isolated highway bridges subjected to spatially varying earthquake ground motion model. This model includes wave passage, incoherence and site response effects. The wave passage effect is examined by using various wave velocities. The incoherency effect is investigated by considering the Harichandran and Vanmarcke coherency model. The site response effect is considered by selecting homogeneous firm, medium and soft soil types where the bridge supports are constructed. The ground motion is described by power spectral density function and applied to each support point. Triple concave friction pendulum (TCFP) bearing which is more effective than other seismic isolation systems is used for seismic isolation. To implement seismic isolation procedure, TCFP bearing devices are placed at each of the support points of the deck. In the analysis, the bridge selected is a five-span featuring cast-in-place concrete box girder superstructure supported on reinforced concrete columns. Foundation supported highway bridge is regarded as three regions and compared its different situation in the stochastic analysis. The stochastic analyses results show that spatially varying ground motion has important effects on the stochastic response of the isolated and non-isolated bridges as long span structures.
