In order to resolve a common numerical integration inaccuracy of meshfree methods, we introduce an improved natural clement method called Petrov-Galerkin natural element method(PG-NEM). While Laplace basis function is being taken for the trial shape function, the test shape function in the present method is differently defined such that its support becomes a union of Delaunay triangles. This approach eliminates the inconsistency of tile support of integrand function with the regular integration domain, and which preserves both simplicity and accuracy in the numerical integration. In this paper, the validity of the PG-NEM is verified through the representative benchmark problems in 2-d linear elasticity. For the comparison, we also analyze the problems using the conventional Bubnov-Galerkin natural element method(BG-NEM) and constant strain finite clement method(CS-FEM). From the patch test and assessment on convergence rate, we can confirm the superiority of the proposed meshfree method.

The Krylov-Schur algorithm has been applied to reveal the eigen-properties of the wave guide having the square cross section. The eigen-matrix equation has been constructed from FEM with the basis function of the tangential edge-vectors of the triangular element. This equation has been treated firstly with Arnoldi decomposition to obtain a upper Hessenberg matrix. The QR algorithm has been carried out to transform it into Schur form. The several eigen values satisfying the convergent condition have appeared in the diagonal components. The eigen-modes for them have been calculated from the inverse iteration method. The wanted eigen-pairs have been reordered in the leading principle sub-matrix of the Schur matrix. This sub-matrix has been deflated from the eigen-matrix equation for the subsequent search of other eigen-pairs. These processes have been conducted several times repeatedly. As a result, a few primary eigen-pairs of TE and TM modes have been obtained with sufficient reliability.

In this paper, a miniaturized parallel coupled bandpass filter using multi-layered LTCC(Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) substrate for SOP(System-On-Package) is proposed for applications to wireless communication systems. The fabricated BPF is composed of five 106${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thick LTCC layers and its size is 5.24mm x 4.3mm x 0.53 mm. The measured characteristics of the BPF show the center frequency of 5.8GHz, bandwidth of 200MHz, insertion loss of 2.326dB and return loss of 13.679dB. In addition, the attenuation is 28.052dB at 4.7GHz.

For the microwave high density devices and modules of the 3D configuration, we proposed radial stub for the ground connection. The proposed structure is analyzed by the full-wave analysis of finite element method (FEM) and characterized experimentally. The results show that the return loss is more than 15 dB and the insertion loss is less than 0.5 dB in the frequency range from 2.5 GHz to 6.3 GHz. The proposed grounding scheme will be useful for the ground connection lot the microwave high density devices and module of 3D configuration.

The present work suggests a numerical approach using a thermoacoustic network model for the eigenvalue calculation of thermoacoustic instability problems in an aero gas turbine combustor. The model is developed based on the conservation laws for mass, momentum, and energy between acoustic network elements with an area change. Acoustic field in a practical aero gas turbine combustor which has a complicated flow path is analyzed using the current model. The predictive capabilities of the current modeling approach are compared with the acoustic characteristics calculated using Helmholtz solver based on 3D finite element method(FEM).

Flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is defined as a high speed rotating flywheel system that can save surplus electric power. The FESS is proposed as an efficient energy storage system because it can accumulate a large amount of energy when it is operated at a high rotating speed and no mechanical problems are encountered. The FESS consists of a shaft, flywheel, motor/generator, bearings, and case. It is difficult to simulate rotor dynamics using common structure simulation programs because these programs are based on the 3D model and complex input rotating conditions. Therefore, in this paper, a program for the FESS based on the 2D FEM was developed. The 2D FEM can model easier than 3D, and it can present the multi-layer rotor with different material each other. Stiffness changing of the shaft caused by shrink fitting of the hub can be inputted to get clear solving results. The results obtained using the program were compared with those obtained using the common programs to determine any errors.

In this paper, the study of a waveguide aperture-coupled feed-structured antenna has been conducted for the purpose of applying it to a wireless back-haul system sufficient for high-capacity gigabits-per-second data rates. For this study, a $32{\times}32$ waveguide slot sub-array antenna with a corporate-feed structure was designed and produced. Also, this antenna is used at 57 GHz to 66 GHz in the V-band. The construction of the antenna is a laminated form with radiating parts (outer groove and slot, cavity), a coupled aperture, and feeds in each. The antenna was designed with HFSS, which is based on 3D-FEM, produced with aluminum processed by a precision-controlled milling machine, and assembled after a silver-plating process. The measurement result from analysis of the characteristics of the antenna shows that return loss is less than -12 dB, VSWR < 2.0, and a wide bandwidth ranges up to 16%. An overall first side lobe level is less than -12.3 dB, and a 3 dB beam width is narrow at about $1.85^{\circ}$. Also, antenna gain is 38.5 dBi, offering high efficiency exceeding 90%.

The purpose of this investigation is to propose a numerical simulation method of the crack propagation behavior in 3-dimensionl elastic body. The simulation method is based on the displacement-type finite element method, and the linear fracture theory is introduced. The results from the proposed method are compared with those from the structural experiments, and the good coincidences between them are shown in this paper. At the same time, 2-dimensional analysis is also done, and the results are compared with those obtained from 3-dimensional analysis and the structural experiments.

In this research, finite element method was carried out to evaluate the defomation of pipe and surface displacement for backfill of underground ficility. Various conditions for analysis were employer, including two different pipes(PE and concrete pipe), two different excavation depth(60cm and 150cm) and width(1.5D and 2D), a regular sand backfill, and four different flowable backfills. The vertical deformation of 60 cm diameter for PE was measured three times more than that of 30 cm diameter. The measured deformations for regular backfill and four flowable backfills were 0.320mm, and 0.135mm to 0.155mm, respectively. It ratio was around 40%. In case of 30cm diameter of concrete pipe, the measured vertical defomation was around 0.004mm for all the backfill materials. In case of installation depth, the effect of flowable backfill for flexible pipe is better than for rigid pipe. There is little effect on the deformation of concrete pipe with regular sand backfill and flowable backfill.
