Multi-layered Waveguide-Below-Cutoff Array(WBCA) used in air duct and water pipe has advantages in manufacturing process as well as flow characteristics. In addition, it is possible to increase the Shielding Effectiveness(SE) by increasing the number of layers. However, since the SE of the multi-layered WBCA can not be predicted by the conventional SE equation, we propose the modified SE equation. The modified SE equation is obtained for both air and arbitrary fluid flowing in a multi-layered WBCA by increasing the number of layers from 2 to 64. In order to confirm the validity, the results of the proposed SE equations are compared with the EM simulation results.

This study presents the nonlinear responses of a hinged-clamped beam under broadband random excitation. By using Galerkin's method the governing equation is reduced to a system or nonautonomous nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The Fokker-Planck equation is used to generate a general first-order differential equation in the joint moments of response coordinates. Gaussian and non-Gaussian closure schemes are used to close the infinite coupled moment equations. The closed equations are then solved for response statistics in terms of system and excitation parameters. The case of two mode interaction is considered in order to compare it with the case of three mode interaction. Monte Carlo simulation is used for numerical verification.

An efficient method for determining forced responses of a general linear structural system in time domain using subtructure modes and Lagrange multipliers is presented. Compared with the conventional mode synthesis methods, the suggested method does not construct the equations of motion of the combined whole structure and thus the modal parameters of the whole structure are not required. Only modal parameters of each substructure and geometric compatibility conditions are needed. Both the loaded interface free-free modes and free interface modes can be employed as the modal bases of each substructure. Recurrence discrete-time state equations based upon state transition matrix are formulated for the transient analysis of a parameter-changing system. It is shown form numerical examples that the suggested method is very accurate and efficient to calculate transient responses compares with the direct numerical integration method.

Whole Crop Barley (WCB) is a representative self-sufficient winter annual forage crop, along with Italian Ryegrass (IRG), in Korea. In this study, we examined the path relationship between WCB yield and climate factors such as temperature, precipitation, and sunshine duration using a structural equation model. A Bayesian approach was considered to overcome the limitations of the small WCB sample size. As prior distribution of parameters in Bayesian method, standard normal distribution, the posterior result of structural equation model for WCB, and the posterior result of structural equation model for IRG (which is the most popular winter crop) were used. Also, Heywood case correction in prior distribution was considered to obtain the posterior distribution of parameters; in addition, the best prior to fit the characteristics of winter crops was identified. In our analysis, we found that the best prior was set by using the results of a structural equation model to IRG with Heywood case correction. This result can provide an alternative for research on forage crops that have hard to collect sample data.

To design and study the dynamic performance of safety structures, crash tests are needed. Method to get the angular accelerations at the time of impact by integating the Euler equations are introduced. Numerically stable 9-array system contains several 7 and 8-array sub-systems in it. Numerical stability of those latent sub-systems are studied using test files. All of the 8-array subsystems were found to be numerically stable. Six of the 7-array sub-systems were stable and other six of the 7-array sub-systems were unstable. Using this findings fail-safe measurement system can be developed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the cause-effect relationship between motor impairments, hand function, gross motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) in children with cerebral palsy through the analysis of structural equation modeling. For this, 105 children with cerebral palsy (between 6 and 12 years old) were assessed about muscle tone and strength, range of motion, abilities of selective motor control, hand function, gross motor function and ADL. The results of this study were follows: Firstly, there were significant correlations between motor impairments of muscle tone, muscle strength, the abilities of selective motor control and ADL (p < .05); Secondly, a good correlation between the gross motor function, hand function and ADL was found in all children (p < .05); Thirdly, the appropriateness of research model was good. This study focused on exploration of the relationship between the motor impairment, gross motor function, hand function and ADL through structural equation modeling.

This tutorial presents an approach to perform the PLS structural equation modeling using the R. For this purpose, the practical guide defines the criteria for the PLS structural equation modeling by reviewing previous studies, and shows how to analyze the research model with an example using the "plspm" which is the R package for the performing PLS path analysis against the criteria. This practical guide will be useful for the study of the PLS model analysis for new researchers and will provide the knowledge base for in-depth analysis through the new PLS structural equation modeling technique using R which is the integrated statistical software operating environment for the researchers familiar with the PLS structural equation modeling.

식생된 개수로에서 식생의 영향을 파악하기 위해 k-$\in$ 난류 모형을 이용하여 수치모의를 하였다. 식생의 영향을 고려하기 위해 항력항을 추가한 지배방정식을 구성하였으며, 지배방정식을 해석하기 위하여 유한체적법을 사용하였다. 수치모의에서 구한 식생된 개수로의 흐름구조를 기존의 수리실험 결과와 비교하여 비교적 잘 일치함을 확인할 수 있다. 난류의 생성과 소멸을 수치모의한 결과, 부분구간 식생된 경우 식생높이 보다 낮은 구간에서는 후류에 의한 난류 생성이 지배적이며, 식생높이보다 높은 구간에서는 주로 마찰에 의한 난류 생성이 지배적임을 보였다. 기존의 연구들은 식생의 영향을 고려하여 개수로의 흐름을 연구한 예는 드물며, 현재까지 진행되어진 국내의 연구는 난류모형을 이용하여 식생된 개수로에서의 흐름 구조를 모의하였다. 따라서 난류흐름을 모의하는데 가장 보편적인 k-$\in$ 난류모형을 이용하여 식생된 개수로에서 수직방향으로의 흐름구조와 식생의 영향을 해석하는 것은 그 자체로도 의미 있는 연구이며, 앞으로의 환경수리 문제를 해결하기 위해 선행되어야 하는 연구이다. 식생된 개수로에서의 난류구조와 부유사 이동에 대한 식생의 영향을 비정상 1차원 수직모형으로 해석하였으며, 폐합문제를 위해 2-방정식인 k-$\in$ 난류모형을 사용하였다. k-$\in$ 난류모형에 식생에 의한 항력항을 더하여 지배방정식을 구성하였다. 수직방향에 대해 흐름방향 유속 u, 난류에너지 k, 그리고 난류에너지 소산율 $\in$의 분포를 구하고, 부유사에 대한 수송방정식을 풀었다. 식생된 개수로와 식생되지 않은 개수로에서의 유속분포, 난류강도, 레이놀즈 응력 분포와 난류의 생성과 소멸을 구하여 식생이 난류흐름에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

This paper analyzed the partial differential equations of laminated composite shells of revolution by using the finite difference method. The proof that numerical results are reasonable and accurate is obtained through converge ratio analysis and commercial program LUSAS for the structural analysis. The purpose of this study is to examine closely the engineering advantages and to analyze the structural behaviors of the anisotropic shells of revolution. Thus, the relevant reinforcement and most suitable arrangement of fiber to produce the highest strength are proposed through the numerical results according to a variety of parameter study. Namely, the distribution of displacements and stress resultants are analyzed according to the change of meridian's curvature, the ratio of height-width of shell, subtended angle, fiber angle, and so on. Using these distribution, the most suitable shell may be proposed to produce the highest strength. Also, the configuration of the entire laminated composite conical shells is analysed, and a variety of the design criterion of circular conical shell are proposed and studied in engineering view points.
