This paper presents the dynamic analysis method for estimating the performance of flat-type blades in wiper systems. The blade has nonlinear characteristics since the rubber is a hyper-elastic material. Thus, modal coordinate and absolute nodal coordinate formulations were used to describe the dynamic characteristic of the blade. The blade was structurally analyzed to find the bending characteristics of the cross section of the blade. According to the analysis results, the blade section is divided into three deformation bodies: rigid, small, and large. For the small deformation body, the modal coordinate formulation is used, while the absolute nodal coordinate formulation is used for the large deformation body. To verify the dynamic analysis result, an experiment was performed. The simulation and experiment results were compared to verify the flexible multi-body dynamic model.

In 1992, the first design standard of quake proof bridge was established. However, most bridge structures which were constructed without considering earthquake in former times need performance of quakeproof property. Quakeproof analysis in current bridges, is based on analysis of load base which just has strength over the load of simple structures but is not checked through simple comparison of strength performance of structures so that we would like to check that ADRS method is reasonable or not using ADRS method(Accleration-Displacement Response Spectrum Method), a analysis method based on displacement of object of performance test. As the result of that, the capacity spectrum method can avoid complex dynamic analysis in analysis based on loads and it efficiently applies to design verification with normal checking for quakeproof performance and aimed performance of new structures. However we can not consider effects of high modes and it has problem that does not consider falling of performance in structures by repeated load.

Wi-Fi enabled Internet of Things (IoTs) had a substantial impact on society, economy and industry. However wireless connectivity technologies in unlicensed band such as Wi-Fi are vulnerable to interferences. They also face difficulty providing wireless connectivity over long range in dense networks due to the dynamically changed interference effect and asymmetric interference conditions. In this paper, robust acknowledgement transmission scheme is proposed for long range IoTs. According to the proposed scheme, it is possible to control the transmission rate of the transmission success rate of the response frame by adjusting the transmission rate of the response frame when the interference is present asymmetrically. It is also possible to use higher data rate when high quality link is guaranteed. The evaluation results demonstrated the proposed scheme improves the aggregate throughput by at most 9 Mbps when 20 MHz bandwidth transmission mode was adopted.

In this paper, we introduced the design technique about a Ka band receive module for millimeter wave seekers. The receiver module consists of a waveguide, circulator and transition for antenna connection, and a limiter and gain control amplifier for receiver protection. This module is comprised of a sum, azimuth and elevation channel for receiving monopules signal, and a SLB channel for the acquisition of jamming signal. In this paper, receiver gain and range of gain control dependent on ADC nonlinear characteristic was analyzed and designed for wide dynamic range receive. In the test result of the fabricated Ka-band receive, the frequency band is 1 GHz, the noise figure is as low as 8.2 dB, the gain is $56{\pm}2dB$, the dynamic range is 135 dB, the gain congtrol is more than 86 dB, the channel isolation is more than 35 dB.

Steel plate concrete (SC) structure has been developed as a new structural type. Rational damping value shall be determined for the seismic design of SC structure. This study evaluated damping ratio of SC structure through experiments. For the study, a SC shear wall specimen was constructed and dynamically tested on the shaking table. Acceleration time history responses measured from testing were converted to the transfer functions and analyzed by using experimental modal analysis technique. The structural damping ratio of the specimen was identified as 4% to critical. Considering the shaking table test was performed at the excitation level corresponding to the low stress level of the specimen, 4% could be suggested as a structural damping for design of SC structure for operating basis earthquake.

The paper describes the vibration and stability of tapered beams on two-parameter elastic foundations. The two-parameter elastic foundations are constructed by distributed Winkler springs and a shearing layer as of ten used in soil models. The shear deformation and the rotatory inertia of a beam are taken into account. Governing equations are derived from energy expressions using Hamilton\`s principle. The associated eigenvalue problems are solved to obtain the free vibration frequencies or the buckling loads. Numerical results for the vibration of a beam with an axial force are presented and compared when other solutions are available. Vibration frequencies, mode shapes, and critical forces of a tapered Timoshenko beam on elastic foundations under an axial force are investigated for various thickness ratios, shear foundation parameters, Winkler foundation parameters and boundary conditions.

Energy harvesting technology, which scavenges electric power from ambient, otherwise wasted, energy sources, has been explored to develop self-powered wireless sensors and possibly eliminate the battery replacement cost for wireless sensors. Among ambient energy sources, vibration energy can be converted into electric power through a piezoelectric energy harvester. For the last decade, although tremendous advances have been made in design methodology to maximize harvestable electric power under a given vibration condition, the research in reliability assessment to ensure durability has been stagnant due to the complicated nature of the multiple failure modes of a piezoelectric energy harvester, such as the interfacial delamination, fatigue failure, and dynamic fracture. Therefore, this study presents the first-ever system reliability analysis for multiple failure modes of a piezoelectric energy harvester using the Generalized Complementary Intersection Method (GCIM), while accounts for the energy conversion performance. The GCIM enables to decompose the probabilities of high-order joint failure events into probabilities of complementary intersection events. The electromechanically-coupled analytical model is implemented based on the Kirchhoff plate theory to analyze its output performances of a piezoelectric energy harvester. Since a durable as well as efficient design of a piezoelectric energy harvester is significantly important in sustainably utilizing self-powered electronics, we believe that technical development on system reliability analysis will have an immediate and major impact on piezoelectric energy harvesting technology.

The structure of SpaceEye-1 developed by Satrec Initiative is designed to carry out various earth observation missions in harsh launch and orbit environments. This paper describes methodology of the structure design and analysis performed during the SpaceEye-1 development. The SpaceEye-1 structure is designed not only to endure the static/dynamic loads but also to protect a main payload and all other components under the launch environments. The structural design requirements were derived from the requirements of the launch vehicle, payload, and other subsystems from the initial development phase. Three-dimensional modeling process was used to verify geometric compatibility of the structure with the other subsystems, and finite element analysis was used to confirm whether the designed structure satisfied all the mechanical requirements derived from the launch vehicle and payload.

In general, the response spectrum analysis(RSA) method is wifely used for seismic analysis of building structures, and the time history analysis(THA) is applied for computation of structural vibration caused by equipments, machines and moving loads, etc. However, compared with the RSA method, the THA method is very complex, difficult and time consuming. In this study, the maximum responses for the vertical vibration are calculated conveniently by the RSA method. At first, the process for the RSA in excitation is proposed, and the maximum modal responses are combined by CQC and SRSS methods. Also, the responses obtained by the two modal combination methods are compared to the responses by the THA. And the correlation coefficients for human activities is proposed, and the RSA responses obtained by used to the correlation coefficients are calculated. Finally, results of the proposed method are compared with those of the time history analysis and correlation coefficients should be considered for the RSA of floor structure subjected to group dynamic loads.
