This paper discusses the theoretical researches subject to elastic buckling problems of the structures. The purpose is to ensure the characteristic of buckling be true by arc-length method and the finite element method. The difficulties in processes calculating the equilibrium curve after buckling is to get the equilibrium owe near singular point at which the determinant of stiffness matrix is zero. The purpose of the load-displacement curve is to determine the buckling load of the structure, and further to get the information about the characteristic after buckling. Here, this paper expresses the incremental solution at particular point by the linear combination of both homogeneous mode and particular mode, then uses the method which gets the unknown parameter including this function, through trial-and-error method including modified N-R convergence process. Finally, this paper describes the multiple bifurcation of truss dome as the numerical examples according to this algorithm.

In this study, to determine characteristics of compaction and the soil water characteristic curve(SWCC) in decomposed granitic soils, compaction tests and SWCC tests were carried out for samples having various contents of coefficient of uniform($c_u$), By compacting their samples with standard Proctor density test, the effects of binder contents on maximum dry density and optimum moisture content were investigated and compared. Samples compacted with the maximum dry density and the optimum moisture content were tested by means of the SWCC, to determine their SWCC parameters, such as Brooks & Corey(${\lambda}$, ${\Psi}_b$), Van Genuchten (${\alpha}$, n, m), Fredlund & Xing(a, n, m).

Recently, interest in renewable energy is increasing due to energy depletion and environmental problems. Among them, solar energy is the most popular feature for its infinite, eco-friendly, easy to maintain and high utilization. In these solar power systems, solar cells have either a current-voltage characteristic curve or a power-voltage characteristic curve with non-linear properties. Therefore, the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique is important to control this. In this thesis, we will discuss MPPT techniques using a boost converter and demonstrate their behavior using the PSIM program. Also, the MPPT control algorithm for solar energy generation will be proposed.

Since the performance of cooling tower is strongly dependent on the thermal performance of the packing, the evaluations of heat transfer rate and fan power from various packing have attracted intense interest. In the present study, two new packings have been devised and their performances have been compared with those of two existing packings to find better shape characteristic. It is found that one of the existing packings, which showed high heat transfer rate and medium fan power due to zig -zag flow passages and highly irregular surfaces, should be adapted.

The characteristics and prediction model for the shear strength of unsaturated residual soils was studied. In order to investigate the influence of the net normal stress on the shear strength, unsaturated triaxial tests and SWCC tests were carried out varying the net normal stress, and the experimental data for unsaturated shear strength tests were compared with predicted shear strength envelopes using existing prediction models. It was shown that the soil - water characteristic curve and the shear strength of the unsaturated soil varied with the change of the net normal stress. Therefore, to achieve a truly descriptive shear strength envelope for unsaturated soils, tile effect of the normal stress on the contribution of matric suction to the shear strength has to be taken into consideration. In this paper, a modified prediction model for the unsaturated shear strength was proposed.

In this study, a method to measure the thickness of thin film by EDS (energy dispersive spectroscopy) is suggested. We have developed a model which calculates the thickness of thin film from the characteristic x-ray intensity ratio of the elements in thin film and substrate by considering incident electron beam energy, x-ray generation curve, backscattering and absorption of x-ray, take-off angle of x-ray and tilt angle of the sample. We obtained the relation curve between the film thickness measured experimentally and the x-ray intensity ratio of elements. The film thicknesses calculated from the model agrees quite well with those measured experimentally. Therefore, the thin film thickness can be measured rapidly and accurately by using the model developed in this study and the x-ray intensity ratio obtained in EDS analysis.

In this study, major problems, such as licensing problems due to civil complaints, deterioration of facility period, and damage of modules, are exposed to many problems in domestic businesses. Particularly, the photovoltaic (PV) modules applied to early PV systems have been repaired and replaced over the past two decades, and a new module-based aging detection method is needed to expand the maintenance market and stabilize and repair power supplies. PV modules in a PV system use a string that is configured in series to generate high voltage. However, even if only one module of the solar modules connected in series ages, the power generation efficiency of the aged string is reduced. Therefore, we propose a topology that can measure the instantaneous PV characteristic curve to determine the aging module in the solar string and the aging judgment algorithm using the measured PV characteristic curve.

As Koblitz curve, the Frobenius endomorphism is know to be useful in efficient implementation of multiplication on non-supersingular elliptic cures defined on small finite fields of characteristic two. In this paper a method using the extended Frobenius endomorphism to speed up scalar multiplication is introduced. It will be shown that the proposed method is more efficient than Muller's block method in ［5］ because the number of point addition for precomputation is small but on the other hand the expansion length is almost same.

In the stroke sensitive shock absorber, the oil path is formed along the internal cylinder surface to make the oil flow during the piston's upper-lower reciprocation movement. In constrast with the conventional shock absorbesr which show one dynamic characteristic curve, stroke sensitive shock absorber shows two kinds of dynamic characteristics according to the stroke. In this study, in order to obtain more precise information about design and damping performance analysis, the analysis on the damping force generation process and dynamic behaviour characteristics of stroke sensitive shock absorber are performed by considering the valve characteristics.

Archimedes showed that the area between a parabola and any chord AB on the parabola is four thirds of the area of triangle ${\Delta}ABP$, where P is the point on the parabola at which the tangent is parallel to the chord AB. Recently, this property of parabolas was proved to be a characteristic property of parabolas. With the aid of this characterization of parabolas, using centroid of triangles associated with a curve we present two conditions which are necessary and sufficient for a strictly locally convex curve in the plane to be a parabola.
