  • In this study, the three different meta-heuristics namely the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), Stochastic Fractal Search (SFS), and Adaptive Differential Evolution with Optional External Archive (JADE) algorithms are examined. This study considers optimization of the planer frame to minimize its weight subjected to the strength and displacement constraints as per the American Institute of Steel and Construction - Load and Resistance Factor Design (AISC-LRFD). The GWO algorithm is associated with grey wolves' activities in the social hierarchy. The SFS algorithm works on the natural phenomenon of growth. JADE on the other hand is a powerful self-adaptive version of a differential evolution algorithm. A one-bay ten-story planar steel frame problem is examined in the present work to investigate the design ability of the proposed algorithms. The frame design is produced by optimizing the W-shaped cross sections of beam and column members as per AISC-LRFD standard steel sections. The results of the algorithms are compared. In addition, these results are also mapped with other state-of-art algorithms.

  • A finite element model is presented for the analysis of composite steel-concrete beams based on a refined high-order theory. The employed theory satisfies all the kinematic and stress continuity conditions at the layer interfaces and considers effects of the transverse normal stress and transverse flexibility. The global displacement components, described by polynomial or combinations of polynomial and exponential expressions, are superposed on local ones chosen based on the layerwise or discrete-layer concepts. The present finite model does not need the incorporating any shear correction factor. Moreover, in the present $C^1$-continuous finite element model, the number of unknowns is independent of the number of layers. The proposed finite element model is validated by comparing the present results with those obtained from the three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis. In addition to correctly predicting the distribution of all stress components of the composite steel-concrete beams, the proposed finite element model is computationally economic.

  • In this paper, an illumination system design using two lamps was proposed to improve the brightness of the projector. The proposal is based on the results from optical simulation. The prism array was applied to maintain the same optical properties, such as brightness distribution for the divergence angle and the composed beam size of the system. These were compared to those of the one UHP lamp system. The brightness of the two-lamp system, having a panel size of 0.74" and an f/2.9, increased by a factor of 1.7 when compared to the brightness of one UHP lamp system.

  • Chaff is one of important devices for heliborne protection from radars and missiles. When we use a chaff for heliborne protection, J/S(jamming signal of chaff vs reflected signal from heliborne) is important factor to analyze a heliborne survive. When the radial angle between missile and heliborne is changed, J/S of missile receiver is changed and jamming effectiveness of chaff is also changed. We calculate the RCS of chaff and heliborne, and compare the returned signals in a half power beam width of receiver antenna. We analyze chaff dispense modes and specially simulate the effectiveness of a dilution mode chaff between missile and heliborne.

  • A scanning electron microscope(SEM) is a system that visualizes complex surface features. The resolution of SEM is affected by each of equipment components. In this study, we examined the effects of the four factors including the beam current, magnification, voltage and working distance. A statistical analysis was conducted to investigate the main and interaction effects. For a systematic characterization, a $2^4$ full factorial experiment was conducted. The $R^2$ of constructed statistical model was 88.9%. The main effect revealed that the current and working distance are dominant factors. Of the interactions, those between the current and voltage yielded the highest interaction. 3D plots generated from the model were used to explore various parameter effects.

  • GaAs and AlGaAs layers were grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) to fabricate hith performance GaAs MESFETs. Optimum growth temperatures were found to be 600$^{\circ}C$ from their Hall measurement data. MESFETs with the gate legth of 1${\mu}$m and the gate width of 100.mu.m were fabricated on the MBE-grown GaAs layters which has i-GaAs buffer layer and characterized. Knee volgate and mazimum transconductance of the devices were 1V, 224mS/mm, respectively. Cut-off frequency at on-wafer measuring pattern was measured to be 18 GHz. The MESFET with the 1${\mu}$m -thick i-Al$_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}$As buffer layer between nactive and i-GaAs was fabricated on order to reduce the leakage current which flows through the i-GaAs buffer layer. Its output resistance was 2.26 k${\Omega}$.mm which increased by a factor of 15 compared with the MESFET without i-Al$_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}$As buffer layer.

  • In this study, the exact rigidity and the free vibration of trapezoidal corrugated plate are analyzed by being based on the Kirchhoff's plate theory and the Ritz method. The previous rigidity of corrugated plate analyzed by considering just a geometric characteristic, a basic assumption and an equivalent idea can cause large errors in practical behaviors. Accordingly, the exact rigidity supplemented by correction factors of the theoretical rigidity is needed. Therefore an analysis on the exact rigidity and the free vibration using the rigidity for the plate is performed in this paper.

  • The trend on marine diesel engine productions and refinements has led to a higher mean effective pressure and thermal efficiency. These resulted in increased maximum combustion pressure within the cylinder and vibratory torque in crankshaft. In view of this. the crankshaft should be able to withstand the dynamic stresses caused by load variations. Different factors including size, material and stress concentration factors should also be considered to ensure the reliability of the shafting system. As such, crankshaft must be designed and compacted within its fatigue strength. In this paper, the strength analysis of crankshaft Is carried out by: simplified method recommended by IACS(International Association Classification Societies) M53 and a detailed method with the crankshaft assumed as a continuous beam and bearing supported in its flexibility. The results of these two methods are then compared.
