This paper presents a novel design technique and characteristic analysis of Magnet for dual air-gap axial-flux type permanent-magnet synchronous generator. The process of magnet design is applied to the motor design and steady state analysis considering output voltage waveforms and magnetic flux waveforms. Design and construction of an axial-flux permanent-magnet generator with power output at 60 [Hz], 300[r/min] is introduced. Finite-element (FE) method is applied to analyze magnet shape characteristics. The results of FE analysis show generator is feasible for use with dual air-gap axial-flux permanent- magnet synchronous generator.

This paper presents and compares a one-dimensional (1D) bending theory for piezoelectric thin beam-type structures with resistive-inductive electrodes to ANSYS$^{(R)}$ three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) analysis. In particular, the lateral deflections and vibrations of slender piezoelectric beams are considered. The peculiarity of the piezoelectric beam model is the modeling of electrodes in such a manner that is does not fulfill the equipotential area condition. The case of ideal, perfectly conductive electrodes is a special case of our 1D model. Two-coupled partial differential equations are obtained for the lateral deflection and for the voltage distribution along the electrodes: the first one is an extended Bernoulli-Euler beam equation (second-order in time, forth order in space) and the second one the so-called Telegrapher's equation (second-order in time and space). Analytical results of our theory are validated by 3D electromechanically coupled FE simulations with ANSYS$^{(R)}$. A clamped-hinged beam is considered with various types of electrodes for the piezoelectric layers, which can be either resistive and/or inductive. A natural frequency analysis as well as quasi-static and dynamic simulations are performed. A good agreement between the extended beam theory and the FE results is found. Finally, the practical relevance of this type of electrodes is shown. It is found that the damping capability of properly tuned resistive or resistive-inductive electrodes exceeds the damping performance of beams, where the electrodes are simply linked to an optimized impedance.

Double deck tunnels are considered to have a large demand in a near future for solving traffic congestion problems and overcoming the limitations in constructing new tunnels. This study presents a numerical investigation using finite element (FE) analysis on the behaviors of the tunnels and the stability of pillars in a divergence section where single tunnel is diverged from a main line double deck tunnel. The effects of the separation distance between the diverged and the main tunnels and the ground condition were examined through the FE analysis by varying the separation distance from 0.1D to 2.0D (D: diameter of main tunnel) and the rock class from class I to V, respectively, and the analysis results were compared with those using empirical methods, strength-stress ratio, and the volume of interference. The FE analysis results indicated that the separation distance has a larger effect on tunnel behaviors, compared with the rock strength, and a single tunnel with a large cross section is more favorable than two separated tunnels for tunnel stability when the separation distance is below 0.7D.

Small size gas turbine disk requires good mechanical strength and creep properties at high temperature. In this study, Waspaloy was used as a superalloy to satisfy these specifications. The control of microstructure was needed to satisfy material properties at high temperature. In order to do this, we studied forging conditions and material analysis. Therefore die and preform design conducted so that hot forged gas turbine disk could have a good microstructure. The die and preform shapes are designed with consideration of the predefined hydraulic press capacity and the microstructure of forging product. Also we carried out the hot compression test for Waspaloy in various test conditions. From these results, we obtained the forging conditions as material temperature, die velocity etc. To verify these forging conditions, we conducted FE simulations by means of the DEFORM 2D-HT. In this study, the hot closed die and preform designs were completed to offer high temperature material properties of a small size gas turbine.

The objective of the study is to improve the quality of wheel bearing hub by the rigid-plastic finite element analysis and the response surface methodology. The rigid-plastic finite element codes, AFDEX-2D and DEFORM-3D, were used to analyze the two-dimensional and three-dimensional forging processes, respectively. The response surface analysis is used to find the minimum underfill by the variation of design variables such as the height of billet after upsetting and punch angles of blocker dies. The metal flow of forged product shows good agreement with the results from 2D and 3D analysis. Also, the quality of the wheel bearing hub has been improved by the optimization of design variables and the machining time has been reduced by the machining allowance.

We investigated the effect of Fe₃O₄ addition on the critical temperature of (Bi, Pb)-2223 polycrystalline samples. Bi_1.6Pb_0.4Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃O_10+δ + x wt. % Fe₃O₄ (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8) samples were prepared by using a solid-state reaction method. The analysis of X-ray diffraction data indicates that as Fe₃O₄ is added, dominant phase of the sample changes from Bi-2223 to Bi-2212 with an increasing Bi-2201 phase. The transition temperature of the samples drastically decreased with the Fe₃O₄ addition. The resistance data of samples with x = 0.2 and 0.4 showed a double transition indicating a coexistence of Bi-2223 and Bi-2212 phase while the samples with x = 0.6 and 0.8 showed a single transition with a semiconducting behavior. This phase transition may originate from changes in local structure of the Bi-2223 system by Fe₃O₄ addition. Analysis of the pair distribution function of the Cu-O pair in the CuO₂ plane calculated from extended X-ray absorption fine structure data revealed that the oxygen coordination of copper ion changes from CuO₄ planar type (x = 0.0 - 0.4) to CuO₅ pyramidal type (x = 0.6, 0.8). The correlated Debye-Waller factor, providing information on the atomic disorder within the CuO₂ plane, shows an inverse relation to the coordination number. These results indicate that addition of Fe₃O₄ changes the oxygen distribution around Cu in the CuO₂ plane, causing a phase transition from Bi-2223 to more stable Bi-2212/Bi-2201 phases.

This paper deals with design and analysis of surface-mounted PM (SPM) motor for compressor of air-conditioning system for electric vehicle applications according to slot/pole combination. First, required torque-speed curve characteristics are determined from operating conditions of the compressor. Restricted conditions such as motor size limit and current density are also determined. And then, under same rated and restricted conditions, twelve models which have different slot/pole combinations each other are designed for various pole arc/pitch ratio using simple equations and 2-d finite element (FE) analyses. Designed models are analyzed and compared in terms of back-emf THD, cogging torque, torque ripple, power losses, efficiency, etc. On the basis of analysis results, it is found that the motor with a 6-pole PM rotor and a 27-slot stator has most outstanding performances in electromagnetic aspects. Finally, through the mechanical modal analysis and demagnetization analysis, it is concluded that the determined motor is most suitable for the compressor of air-conditioning system for electric vehicles.

Non-stoichiometric ceramics of $Ni_{x}ZnO_{1-x}Fe_{2}O_{4}$ were prepared by self-propagating high temperature synthesis reaction with various processing conditions and their stoichometric numbers were determined by neutron diffraction. The neutron diffraction patterns were measured at room temperature using monochromatic neutrons with a wave length of 0.18339 nm from a Ge(331) mocochromator at a 90 degree take off angle. The Rietveld refinement of each pattern converged to good agreement (x2=1.88-2.24). The neutron diffraction analysis revealed the final stoichiometries of the ferrites were $Ni_{0.38}Zn_{0.62}Fe_{2}O_{4}$ and $Ni_{0.33}Zn_{0.67}Fe_{2}O_{4]$, respectively. This supports that final stoichiometric number of the self-propagating high temperature synthesis product can be controlled by the processing parameters during the combustion reaction.

RC shear walls are considered one of the main lateral resisting members in buildings. In recent years, FRP has been widely utilized in order to strengthen and retrofit concrete structures. A number of experimental studies used CFRP sheets as an external bracing system for retrofitting of RC shear walls. It has been found that the common mode of failure is the debonding of the CFRP-concrete adhesive material. In this study, behavior of RC shear wall was investigated with three different micro models. The analysis included 2D model using plane stress element, 3D model using shell element and 3D model using solid element. To allow for the debonding mode of failure, the adhesive layer was modeled using cohesive surface-to-surface interaction model at 3D analysis model and node-to-node interaction method using Cartesian elastic-plastic connector element at 2D analysis model. The FE model results are validated comparing the experimental results in the literature. It is shown that the proposed FE model can predict the modes of failure due to debonding of CFRP and behavior of CFRP strengthened RC shear wall reasonably well. Additionally, using 2D plane stress model, many parameters on the behavior of the cohesive surfaces are investigated such as fracture energy, interfacial shear stress, partial bonding, proposed CFRP anchor location and using different bracing of CFRP strips. Using two anchors near end of each diagonal CFRP strips delay the end debonding and increase the ductility for RC shear walls.

To analyze proteins related to antifungal activity, SAR01 strain was isolated from seaweed and identified as Streptomyces sp. from the result of FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) analysis. The isolated strain had antifungal activities against T species of plant pathogenic fungi. Antifungal activity deficient mutant (SAR 535) of Streptomyces sp. SAR01 was induced by gamma radiation $(^{60}Co,\;5kGy)$. By 2 D electrophoresis analysis, 6 protein spots were found in wild strain (SAR01) but these spots disappeared in mutant strain (SAR535). Among them, 5 proteins showed similarities to heat shock protein 70(HSP70), Fe-containing superoxide dismutase II (Fe- SODII), ribosome recycling factor (RRF), 10 kDa chnperonin (GroES) and inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPAse), respectively. It suggested that the above 6 proteins could be closely related to the antifungal activity of Streptomyces sp. SAR01.
