A method of calculating natural frequencies corresponding to the modes of vibration of beams and tower structures with irregular cross sections and arbitrary boundary conditions was developed. The result is compared with that of the beam theory. Finite difference method is used for this purpose. The influence of the $D_{22}$ stiffness on the natural frequency is rigorously investigated. In this paper, the relation between the applied loading sizes and the natural frequency of vibration of some structural elements is presented. The results of application of this method to steel bridge and reinforced concrete slab bridge by using specially orthotropic plate theory is presented.

최근 전자산업과 전파통신산업의 발달에 따라 불요전자파에 의한 전자파장해가 심각한 수 준에 이르게 되었다. 그 결과 국 . 내외 전자파환경은 나날이 악화되고 있으며, 이로 인한 사 회적 문제가 점차 증가되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 대한 대책으로 CISPR(Comite Internationale S Special des Perturbations Radioelectrique), FCC (Federal Communications Commissions) A ANSI(Amercian National Standards Institute) 둥이 주축이 되어 국제 규정이 제정되어 각종 전자기기들에 대해 방사(EMI) 및 내성(EMS)의 규제가 강화되고 있다. 그러나 국제규정이 요구하는(30 MHz - 18 GHz) 주파수 범위에서의 EMIjEMS 측정을 하기 위해 광대역(Broad-band) 전파무향실(Anechoic Chamber)이 필요하지만1 기존의 Ferrite T Tile 또는 그리드형 전파홉수체는 20 dB 이상 전파를 홉수할 수 잇는 주파수 대역이 30 M MHz - 400 MHz 또는 780 MHz에 불과하기 때문에 상기의 조건을 만족하는 전파무향실 을 구성하기에는 곤란한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 국제 규격을 만족하는 전파무향실을 위한 광대역 전파홉수체를 개발하기 위해, 다충형으로 구성하고, 전파흡수체의 형상을 변화시켜 등가재료정수법을 사용하여 설계하고 그 특성을 평가함을 그 목적으로 하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 본 연구실에서 기폰에 제안한바 있는, 금속판 위에 타일형 페라이 트 충, 그 위에 원추절단형 페라이트 층과 원통형 페라이트 층을 적층시칸 형상의 전파홉수 체는 30 MHz - 6 GHz 정도까지 커버할 수 있으나, 1 GHz 부근의 주파수 대에서 16 dB 정도의 홉수능 밖에 가지지 못하였다. 이를 개선하기 위해, 금속판 위에 타일형 페라이트 층 을 형성하고 그 위에 원통형 페라이트 충, 원추절단형 페라이트 충I 원통형 페라이트 충, 타 원형 페라이트 충을 형성한 새로운 형태의 전파홉수체를 제안하였다. 본 논문에 제안한 새로운 형태의 전파흡수체의 시물레이션 결과 30 MHz - 20 GHz의 주파수 범위에서 전반적으로 25 dB이상의 전파흡수능을 가짐을 확인하였으며/ 특히 기폰에 제안한 전파홉수체와 비교하면,1GHz 부끈에서의 전파홉수능을 10 dB 이상 개선하였다. 나아가서/ 실재로 제작한 전파흡수체의 측정된 주파수특성이 시율레이션에 의한 이론치와 3 30 MHz - 6 GHz의 범위에서 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 또한y 전파 홉수체의 전체 높이는 2 27 mm 밖에 되지 않으므로 본 연구에서 제안한 전파 홉수체를 사용할 경우 전파무향실의 유 효공간 확보에 매우 유리한 이점을 가진다

Microstrip reflectarray is an antenna which controls its radiation pattern with a number of reflective elements. Conventionally, the reflectarray has been researched to replace curved reflector antennas. In this paper, design theories of reflectarray is briefly introduced, and research trends of high gain and broadband reflectarrays are reviewed. To improve the gain of the reflectarrays, it is required that the reflection phase errors on the reflectarray surface be minimized. For this purpose, sufficiently wide reflection phase range and low phase sensitivity should be realized with the designed element. For bandwidth improvement, the reflection phase of the element should be linear with the frequency variation. In this paper, various researches to improve the reflection phase characteristics of the element for high gain and broadband reflectarrays, such as multi-layer and single-layer multi-resonant structures, are reviewed. Also, dual-reflectarray configuration for compact antenna design is reviewed. Finally, various applications of reflectarrays such as contoured beam, near-field focusing, and RCS reduction are reviewed.

In this paper, an improved four-node Reissner-Mindlin plate-bending element with enhanced assumed strain field is presented for the analysis of isotropic and laminated composite plates. To avoid the shear locking and spurious zero energy modes, the transverse shear behavior is improved by the addition of a new enhanced shear strain based on the incompatible displacement mode approach and bubble function. The "standard" enhanced strain fields (Andelfinger and Ramm, 1993) are also employed to improve the in-plane behaviors of the plate elements. The four-node quadrilateral element derived using the first-order shear deformation theory is designated as "14EASP". Several applications are investigated to assess the features and the performances of the proposed element. The results are compared with other finite element solutions and analytical solutions. Numerical examples show that the element is stable, invariant, passes the patch test, and yields good results especially in highly distorted regimes.

Mechanical properties of static and dynamic behavior became important since the use of conical composite tubes in large structures such as aerospace, planes, and submarines as well as leisure goods such as bicycle frames, fishing rods, and golf shafts. In the past, the mechanical property prediction model for static behavior was studied using vibration, bending, and buckling. But there is a need to study how fiber orientation error affects mechanical properties of conical composite structure because the model assumes constant fiber orientation angle. The purpose of this study is to derive an equation that can predict the static behavior of conical composite tube for bicycle frames by considering fiber orientation error with respect to various design parameters.

This paper presents a study on the permittivities of the carbon black/epoxy composite at microwave frequency. The measurements were performed at the frequency band of $1\;GHz\~18\;GHz$. The experimental data show that the complex permittivities of composites depend strongly on the natures and concentrations of the carbon black dispersion. The frequency characteristics of dielectric constants and ac conductivities of composites show the good conformity with descriptions of the percolation theory, satisfying the general scaling relation. The measuring frequency band is over the critical frequency, below that the ac conductivities of composites are constant to the frequency. The values of dielectric constants and ac conductivities have consistent relationships with the carbon black concentration. The A new scheme, that is a branch of Lichtenecker-Rother formula, is proposed to obtain a mixing law to describe the complex permittivities of the composites as function frequency and concentration of carbon black.

Uniaxial tensile tests were conducted to accurately evaluate the in-plane mechanical properties of fiber metal laminates (FMLs). The FMLs in the current study are comprised of a layer of self-reinforced polypropylene (SRPP) sandwiched between two layers of aluminum alloy 5052-H34. The nonlinear tensile behavior of the FMLs under in-plane loading conditions was investigated using both numerical simulations and a theoretical analysis. The numerical simulation was based on finite element modeling using the ABAQUS/Explicit code and the theoretical constitutive model was based on the volume fraction approach using the rule of mixture and a modification of the classical lamination theory, which incorporates the elastic-plastic behavior of the aluminum alloy and the SRPP. The simulations and the model are used to predict the inplane mechanical properties such as stress-strain response and deformation behavior of the FMLs. In addition, a post-stretching process is used to reduce the thermal residual stresses before uniaxial tensile testing of the FMLs. Through comparison of both the numerical simulations and the theoretical analysis with the experimental results, it is concluded that the numerical simulation model and the theoretical approach can describe with sufficient accuracy the actual tensile stress-strain behavior of the FMLs.

Final goal of this research is to establish the database for correlation factors which connects the test and analysis results of shear buckling allowables for composite plate. To accomplish the goal, extensive test and analysis works are required. In this paper, as the first step, a frame-type fixture for shear buckling test was designed and validated through the test and analysis. Final configuration of the fixture were determined via parametric study on the effect of specimen size, cross-sectional dimensions, and number of fastening bolts on the shear buckling load. Results of the study showed the designed frame-type fixture successfully induces the shear buckling of composite plate. However, there were deviations between the test results and analysis results for ideal case under pure shear load, which were mainly caused by the difference in plate sizes for both cases. The difference were larger in the plates with larger hole and simply supported boundary condition. It is concluded from the results that while the designed fixture can be used for the clamped plates with acceptable accuracy, it shows larger difference in the simply supported plates.
