The ultrasonic pressure fields for the 3 MHz linear phased array transducer with sixteen piezoelectric elements of which one may not be operated by defect were simulated theoretically and measured experimentally using a visualization system of the Schlieren method. The simulation results for steering angles of $0^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ show that the side-lobe patterns of the transducer including a defective element is quite different from the transducer with all normal elements, and those patterns are in good agreement with the results of visualization. It is shown that the defective elements in a linear array transducer can be detected by comparison of the simulated and the visualized side-lobe patterns in two dimensional acoustic fields.

In this paper, a high-speed calibration method for phased array antennas in the far-field is presented A max calibration, which is a simplification of the rotating-element electric-field vector (REV) method that calibrates each antenna element only through received power, and a method of grouping calibrations by sub-array unit rather than each antenna element were proposed. Using the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm, we found a partitioning optimized for the distribution of phased array antennas and calibrated it on a subarray basis. An adaptive max calibration method that allows faster calibration than the conventional method was proposed and verified through simulation. Not only is the gain of the phased array antenna higher while calibration is being made to the target, but the beam pattern is closer to the ideal beam pattern than the conventional method.

본 논문에서는 전자기 유한요소 해석을 통하여 원전 증기 발생기(SG, Steam Generator) 세관의 결함 변화에 따른 배열와전류프로브의 와전류탐상 특성을 해석하였다. 프로브의 전자기적 특성을 위해 맥스웰 방정식을 이용하여 지배방정식을 유도하였고, 이를 3차원 전자기 유한요소법을 이용하여 문제를 해석하였다. 해석을 위한 선정한 결함은 프로브의 특성파악을 위한 표준시험편과 원전 SG세관에 발생 가능한 결함인 Pitting, SCC, Wear, Multi SCC 결함을 선정하였다. 해석 대상으로는 원자력발전소 증기발생기 세관으로 사용되고 있는 Inconel 600 도체관을 사용하였다. 본 논문으로 통하여 결함의 형상, 크기, 시험주파수의 변화에 따른 탐상신호의 변화를 확인할 수 있었다. 본 논문의 결과는 배열와전류프로브의 와전류탐상 신호 평가시 도움이 될 것이다.

In this paper, we propose a fast algorithm to generate the array of elemental image in a computer generated integral imaging system. It generates the array of elemental image using depth information, needs less computing time to produce the result by using the concept of boundary area and computing the voxel within boundary area. By comparing the computing time of proposed algorithm with that of the existing algorithm theoretically and experimently, we proved the efficiency of this algorithm.

In this paper, we propose the algorithm for generating the array of elemental image by using look-up table (L UT) in a computer generated integral imaging system. It makes the LUT independently for the projection point of x and y. The algorithm using LUT to the existing ones needs less computing time to generate the array of elemental image. By comparing the computing time of proposed algorithm with that of the existing algorithms e xperimently, we proved the efficiency of proposed algorithm.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of load direction, number of implants, and alignment of implant position on stress distribution in implant, prosthesis, and bone tissue. Materials and Methods: Four 3D models were made to simulate posterior mandible bone block: two implants and 3-unit fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) with a pontic in the center (model M1), two implants and 3-unit FDP with a cantilever pontic at one end (model M2), FDP supported by three implants with straight line placement (model M3) and FDP supported by three implants with staggered implant configuration (model M4). The applied force was 120 N axially or 120 N obliquely. Results: Peak von Mises stresses caused by oblique occlusal force were 3.4 to 5.1 times higher in the implant and 3.5 to 8.3 times higher in the alveolar bone than those stresses caused by axial occlusal force. In model M2, the connector area of the distal cantilever in the prosthesis generated the highest von Mises stresses among all models. With the design of a large number of implants, low stresses were generated. When three implants were placed, there were no significant differences in the magnitude of stress between staggered arrangement and straight arrangement. Conclusion: The effect of staggering alignment on implant stress was negligible. However, the number of implants had a significant effect on stress magnitude.

Doubler repair is one of the frequently applied methods to repair cracks which occur at the structure of aircraft weapon systems. The requirement of the doubler repair for some of aging aircraft has increased more recently. However very few researches have been conducted until now. In this paper, the effect of the various doubler repair methods was evaluated. Especially, the relationship between the array of revet and the effect of stress concentration was investigated. To calculate variation of the stress with different repair methods, commercial FEA program was utilized. As a result, it was shown that the main factor for the variation of stress is pitch and number of revet line. Furthermore the optimized array of revet for the specific geometries of doubler was suggested.

The Angle-of-Arrival(AOA) information for an array antenna receiver is one of the important factors for estimating the location of specific signals and detecting signals efficiently, in various situations. The AOA estimator in the satellite environment can rapidly calculate the AOA information in the wide area, utilizing a planar (grid, circular) array antenna mounted on the satellite. Since the satellite receiver has the limitation of the array antenna size, the concentric circular (ring) array (CCA or CRA) antenna structure with comparatively small size but with multiple antenna elements is more efficient than the uniform circular array (UCA) structure, for the satellite environment. In this paper, we introduce a cascade AOA estimation algorithm based on CRA, consisting of CAPON and Beamspace MUSIC. In addition, we provide computer simulation examples for verifying the estimation performance of the cascade AOA estimation algorithm based on CRA and compare it to the case of UCA.

Array error analysis and correction of active array antenna are described in this paper. Array elements composed of radiator and TR(Transmit & Recive) module have error(magnitude and phase difference among array elements) which affects SLL(Side Lobe Level). Error affectedness level depends on ideal SLL according to antenna aperture weighting, number of array elements and antenna effective aperture. To satisfy required SLL, correction of array elements is necessary; adopted differently per errors, and weighted differently per shapes of antenna and required SLL. Errors of every individual element had been defined, performance of the antenna with or without error correction had been estimated and proved through near field test.
