The electromagnectic modal analysis method for the multiscreen structure with periodic slot array with including conductor thickness effect is presented. The multiscreen structure is seen to be exactly equivalent to a microwave guide closed by phase-shift walls. From this viewpoint, the entire generalized scattering matrix of the multiscreen structure is calculated by the cascade connection of the scattering matrices obtained by the modal analysis at guide junctions and the transmission matrices of guide region. The present method is verified in comparison with the results calculated by the previous method of moment for single screen structure. As an application example of the present method, the spatial filter having multiscreen structure is designed and the interesting characteristics such as transmission and reflection coefficient versus frequency & angle are investigated.

In comparison with edge-emitting lasers(EELs), predicting the output power and slope efficiency of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers(VCSELs) is very difficult due to the absorption loss in DBR layers. However, by using transfer matrix method(TMM), we've made possible to calculate such parameters of multi-layer structures like VCSELs. In this paper, we've calculated the threshold gain, threshold current and slope efficiency through the methodology based on TMM. Also TMM is the way of customizing the VCSEL structure for the desired threshold current and slope efficiency by changing the number of DBR mirror layers.

In this paper, the pumping performance of a piezoelectric valveless micropump is simulated with a commercial finite element analysis software, COMSOL Multiphysics. The micropump developed in the previous work is composed of a 4-layer lightweight piezo-composite actuator (LIPCA), a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) pump chamber, and two diffusers. The piezoelectric domain, structural domain and fluid domain are coupled in the simulation. Water flow rates are numerically predicted for geometric parameters of the micropump. Based on this study, the micropump is optimally designed to obtain its highest pumping performance.

A new scheme for variable structure control design which is based on eigenvalues assignment of sliding mode is developed. In conventional methods, generally, specific type of system matrix like canonical or regular form is required to construct a switching surface. Furthermore, the methods are not explicit. The new method in this paper solved the problems. No special type of system matrix is required and very explicit. It is shown that the switching surface can be constructed and determined uniquely without any dependency on the system form. The proposed method is based on the fact that the dynamics of sliding mode is determined by system zeros. Finally, a numerical example is given to verify the validity of the results studied in this paper.

In this paper, uncertainties and failure criteria of structure are mathematically expressed by random variables and a limit state equation. A limit state equation is approximated by Fleishman's 3rd order polynomials and the theoretical moments of an approximated limit state equation are calculated. Fleishman introduced a 3rd order polynomial in terms of only standard normal distiribution random variables. But, in this paper, Fleishman's polynomial is extended to various random variables including beta, gamma, uniform distributions. Cumulants and a normalized limit state equation are used to calculate a theoretical moments of a limit state equation. A cumulative distribution function of a normalized limit state equation is approximated by a Pearson system.

This paper provides the results of the investigation on the optimum thickness distribution of plate structures with different essential boundary conditions. In this study, the strain energy to be minimized is considered as the objective function and the initial volume of structures is used as the constraint function. The computer-aided geometric design (CAGD) such as Coon's patch representation is used to represent the thickness distribution of plates. A reliable degenerated shell finite element is adopted to calculate the accurate strain energy level of the plates. Robust optimization algorithms provided in the optimizer DOT are adopted to search the optimum thickness values during the optimization iteration. Finally, the square plate is used to find out the optimum thickness distribution of plates according to different essential boundary condition.

본 논문에서는 다양한 음향 가진에 따른 음향 응답을 유한 요소법을 통하여 효과적으로 계산하기 위한 새로운 모델 축소법을 제안한다. 일반적인 유한 요소법을 통한 기계구조물의 응답을 구하기 위해서는 음향 방정식의 강성 및 행렬을 구한 뒤 이들의 조합을 통한 동적 강성행렬을 구한 뒤 역행렬을 구하여 다양한 주파수 응답을 구하게 된다. 현재 컴퓨터 하드웨어의 발전과 소프트 웨어의 발전에 의하여 더 많은 유한 요소를 사용할 수 있게 되었고 이로 인하여 더욱 정확하고 넓은 대역의 음향 응답을 구할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나, 아직까지도 아주 복잡한 구조물의 음향 응답을 구하기 위하여 유한 요소를 무한정으로 증가할 수 없는 경우가 많다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 일반적으로 모델 축소법(Model order reduction) 기법을 사용한다. 이 모델 축소법은 기본적으로 전체 행렬을 아주 작지만 효율적인 작은 행렬로 바꾸어 응답을 예측하는 기법으로 mode superposition method, ritz vector method, quasi-static ritz vector method등이 있다. 기존의 모델 축소법은 기본적으로 질량 및 강성행렬이 가진 주파수에 영향을 받지 않는 행렬이라 가정한다. 그렇기 때문에 경계조건이나 다공성 재료를 모델링할 경우 가진 주파수에 영향을 받는 강성행렬과 질량행렬이 만들어지게 되어 기존의 모델 축소법은 효과적이지 못하게 된다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 이 논문에서는 Quasi-static ritz vector method의 기본적인 개념을 확장하여 여러 개의 중심 주파수(Center frequency)에서 기저를 계산하고 이를 동시에 이용하는 Multi-frequency quasi-static ritz vector method를 제안한다.

In this paper, we proposed the compensation structures for the enhanced directivity of CPW(Coplanar waveguide) directional couplers with finite-extent backed conductor. The proposed compensation structures are. realized by expanding the slot width between signal line and ground plane in center region of couplers. The CPW couplers with expanded slot have the same phase velocity for even and odd mode because of added inductance and changed capacitance appropriately, so the enhanced directivity is accomplished. The designed CPW directional couplers have good directivity and matching characteristic at center frequency in simulation and measurement.

This paper presents the illustration of application under attached point mass to the special orthotropic plates with a pair of opposite edges simply supported and the other pair of opposite edges free. Design engineers need to calculate the natural frequencies of such elements but obtaining exact solution to such problems is very much difficult. Pretlove reported a method of analysis of beams with attached masses using the concept of effective mass. This method, however, is useful only for certain simple types of beam. Therefore, considering the method has been developed by D. H. Kim(1974) is simple, accurate, and very effective for the plates with arbitrary boundary conditions and irregular sections, this paper calculates the natural frequencies of composite laminated plate under attached point mass/masses.

In this study, the reduced system for the dynamic analysis is proposed and the selection criterion of the primary degrees of freedom is presented considering the relation between natural frequency and external loading frequency. A well-constructed reduced system can assure the accurate representation of the dynamic behavior under arbitrary dynamic loads. For selecting the primary degrees of freedom of the reduced system, we employ the robust two-level condensation scheme of which the reliability has been proven through previous study. In the numerical examples, the reliability of the dynamic analysis based on the reduced system is demonstrated through comparing with those of global system.
