The major error factors that degrade the efficiency of coherent beam combining (CBC) are numerically studied in a comprehensive manner, paying particular attention to phase, tip-tilt, polarization angle, and beam quality. The power in the bucket (PIB), normalized to the zero-error PIB, is used as a figure of merit to quantify the effect of each error factor. To maintain a normalized PIB greater than or equal to 95% in a 3-channel CBC configuration, the errors in phase, tip-tilt, and polarization angle should be less than 1.06 radians, 1.25 ㎛, and 1.06 radians respectively, when each of the three parameters is calculated independently with the other two set to zero. In a worst-case scenario of the composite errors within the parameter range for the independent-95%-normalized-PIB condition, the aggregate effect would reduce the normalized PIB to 83.8%. It is noteworthy that the PIB performances of a CBC system, depending on phase and polarization-angle errors, share the same characteristic feature. A statistical approach for each error factor is also introduced, to assess a CBC system with an extended number of channels. The impact of the laser's beam-quality factor M² on the combining efficiency is also analyzed, based on a super-Gaussian beam. When M² increases from 1 to 1.3, the normalized PIB is reduced by 2.6%, 11.8%, 12.8%, and 13.2% for a single-channel configuration and 3-, 7-, and 19-channel CBC configurations respectively. This comprehensive numerical study is expected to pave the way for advances in the evaluation and design of multichannel CBC systems and other related applications.

Based on differential quadrature method (DQM) and nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT), forced vibrations of a porous functionally graded (FG) scale-dependent beam in thermal environments have been investigated in this study. The nanobeam is assumed to be in contact with a moving point load. NSGT contains nonlocal stress field impacts together with the microstructure-dependent strains gradient impacts. The nano-size beam is constructed by functionally graded materials (FGMs) containing even and un-even pore dispersions within the material texture. The gradual material characteristics based upon pore effects have been characterized using refined power-law functions. Dynamical deflections of the nano-size beam have been calculated using DQM and Laplace transform technique. The prominence of temperature rise, nonlocal factor, strain gradient factor, travelling load speed, pore factor/distribution and elastic substrate on forced vibrational behaviors of nano-size beams have been explored.

The flexural vibration of a sandwich beam with partially inserted viscoelastic layer has been studied using the finite element analysis in combination with an experiment. Effects of length and thickness of partial viscoelastic layers on system loss factor(${\eta}_s$) and resonant frequency(${\omega}_r$) were considerably large. The thicker the viscoelastic layer in a sandwich beam, the larger the system loss factor in Mode 1 as compared with that in Mode 2. The loss factor increased almost linearly with increasing the length of partial viscoelastic layer. Effects of thickness of beams were also considered.

This paper propose section properties factor to generate stress history for fatigue analysis and safety inspection of steel bridge. A methodology is described for the computation of numerical stress histories in the steel truss bridge, caused by the vehicles using section properties factor. The global 3-D beam model of bridge is combined with the local shell model of selected details. Joint geometry is introduced by the local shell model. The global beam model takes the effects of joint rigidity and interaction of structural elements into account. Connection nodes in the global beam model correspond to the end cross-section centroids of the local shell model. Their displacements are interpreted as imposed deformations on the local shell model. The load cases fur the global model simulate the vertical unit force along the stringers. The load cases fer the local model are imposed unit deformations. Combining these, and applying vehicle loads, numerical stress histories are obtained. The method is illustrated by test load results of an existing bridge.

In this paper, effective analysis of beam is studied using the RKPM in meshless methods. So, RKPM is extended for solving moderately thick and thin beam. General Timoshenko beam theory is used for formulation. Shear locking is the main difficulty in analysis of beam structures. The shear relaxation factor and corrected shear rigidity are introduced to overcome shear locking. Analysis results obtained reveal that RKPM using introduced methods Is free of locking and very effectively applicable to deeply as well as shallowly beams.

We measured small optical beam deflection in an image rotating Sagnac interferometer. We used a weak value measurement scheme that involves a pre-selection, weak perturbation, and a post-selection procedure to obtain the amplified value of beam deflection. The amplification factor of the measured beam deflection varied from 11 to 63 depending on the settings of the post-selection polarizer in front of the photodetector and the settings of polarization compensator in the interferometer.

This paper presents a theoretical and finite element (FE) study on the stress intensity factors of double-edged cracked steel beams strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. By simplifying the tension flange of the steel beam using a steel plate in tension, the solutions obtained for the stress intensity factors of the double-edged cracked steel plate strengthened with CFRP plates were used to evaluate those of the steel beam specimens. The correction factor α₁ was modified based on the transformed section method, and an additional correction factor φ was introduced into the expressions. Three-dimensional FE modeling was conducted to calculate the stress intensity factors. Numerous combinations of the specimen geometry, crack length, CFRP thickness and Young's modulus, adhesive thickness and shear modulus were analyzed. The numerical results were used to investigate the variations in the stress intensity factor and the additional correction factor φ. The proposed expressions are a function of applied stress, crack length, the ratio between the crack length and half the width of the tension flange, the stiffness ratio between the CFRP plate and tension flange, adhesive shear modulus and thickness. Finally, the proposed expressions were verified by comparing the theoretical and numerical results.

쐐기필터를 통과한 방사선은 잦아진 일차선의 스펙트럼과 일치하지 않는다. 4~10 MV 엑스선의 15~60$^{\circ}$ 쐐기조사면에 대한 선량계산에서 쐐기에 의한 엑스선의 경화효과의 적용과, 조사면계수의 보정의 필요성 여부를 확립하고, 쐐기필터의 투과율 측정조건을 확립하는 것이 이 연구의 목적이다. 4 MV(Clinae 4/100, Varian), 6 MV(Clinae 6/100 와 Clinae 2100C, Varian), 10 MV(Clinae 2100C, Varian) 엑스선의 민조사면과 15, 30, 45, 60$^{\circ}$의 쐐기조사면의 깊이선량분포를 이온함으로 물에서 깊이 30 cm까지 측정하였다. 측정된 깊이선량율을 이용하여 광자선경화 계수를 계산하였다. 쐐기필터의 조사면계수와 투과율은 최대선량점 깊이(d$_{max}$)에서 측정하였다. 4MV 엑스선과 6MV 엑스선의 쐐기각과 쐐기조사면의 크기, d$_{max}$ 보다 갚은 곳에서 깊이에 관계없이 광자선경화계수는 1보다 컸으며, 쐐기각과 깊이에 따라 증가하는 추세를 보였으나 조사면크기에는 거의 무관하였다. 조사면크기 l0$\times$10$\textrm{cm}^2$에 대해 15cm 깊이에서 4MV 엑스선의 광자선경화계수는 15, 30, 45, 60$^{\circ}$ 쐐기각에 대하여 각각 1.010, 1.014, 1.023, 1.034 이였으며, Clinae 6/100 의 6MV 엑스선의 경우는 각 쐐기각에 대하여 1.005, 1.008, 1.019, 1.024, Clinae 2100C 의 6MV 엑스선의 경우는 각각 1.011, 1.021, 1.032, 1.036, 10MV 엑스선의 경우는 각각 1.008, 1.012, 1.012, 1.012였다. 10MV 엑스선의 경우는 광자선경화 계수가 1.2% 이내로 1이었다. 6MV 엑스선의 경우 광자선경화계수는 치료기의 영향도 있음이 밝혀졌다. 광자선경화계수와 깊이는 선형관계였다. d$_{max}$에서 쐐기필터에 대한 출력계수는 민조사면에 대한 값과 비교해서 15$\times$15a14$\textrm{cm}^2$ 크기의 조사면을 제외하고는 거의 일치하였으며, 최대 차이는 4MV 엑스선에 대한 것으로서 1.4%였다. 쐐기투과율을 정할 때 측정하는 위치의 깊이가 d$_{max}$인 경우는 조사면크기에 대한 의존성을 무시할 수 있지만 다른 깊이에서는 그렇지 않다. 4~6MV 광자선의 쐐기조사면에 대한 선량분포나 MU계산에서 광자선경화계수가 고려되어야 할 것이다. 그러나 10MV 엑스선의 경우는 무시해도 될 것이다. 쐐기 투과율을 정하는 위치가 d$_{max}$ 나 공기중이라면 민조사변에 대한 출력계수를 적용할 수 있지만 다른 깊이에서는 쐐기필터 각각에 대한 출력계수를 또는 조사면크기에 따른 쐐기투과율을 적용해야 할 것이다.

As the computer related technology evolves a study for a practical use of real structure as well as its hteory for optimum design has been greatly advanced. But the study on optimum design of pre-stressed concrete beam(PSC-beam) bridge for the construction of national roads and highways in Korea is not sufficient. Since a standard section for the PSC-beam is proposed, it is practically used in designing the PSC-beam. It is noticed that the section using the current standard PSC-beam design to be an over-designed with its surplus safety factor. Therefore, it is necessary to consider economical PSC-beam section which automatically satisfies all requirement of design specifications. Thus, in this study, the optimum design methods of PSC-beam are carried out using the gradient-based search method and global search method. As a result of the optimum design method, it was confirmed that the design of PSC-beam has a serious properties to non-linearity and discontinuity. And the section that in economical and efficinet design methods than the current standard design method is proposed.

The critical load of a continuous compression member was determined by the beam-analogy method. The proposed method utilizes the stress-analysis results of the analogous continuous beam, where imaginary concentrated lateral load changing its direction is applied at each midspan. The proposed method gives a lower bound error of critical load and can predict the span that buckles first. The effective length factors for braced frame columns can be easily determined by the present method, but result in the upper bound errors in all cases, which can lead to a conservative structural design.
