  • Control of vibrations against extraordinary excitations such as wind and earthquake is very important to the protection of life and financial concerns. One of the methods of structural control is to use Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD), however due to the nature of TLD only one sloshing frequency can be created when the water is sloshing. Among various ideas proposed to compensate this problem, by changing the angle of some rotatable baffles embedded inside a TLD, a frequency range is created such that these baffles are tuned manually at different frequencies. In this study, the effect of cross sectional shape of container with rotating baffles on seismic behavior of TLD is experimentally studied. For this purpose, rectangular and cylindrical containers are designed and used to suppress the vibrations of a Single Degree-Of-Freedom (SDOF) structure under harmonic and earthquake excitations considering three baffle angles. The results show that the rectangular-shaped damper reduces the structural response in all load cases more than the damper with a cylindrical shape, such that maximum differences of two dampers to reduce the structural displacement and structural acceleration are 5.5% and 3% respectively, when compared to the cases where no baffles are employed.

  • The under-evaluation structure includes a functionally graded porous (FGP) core which is confined by two piezoelectric carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (CNTRC) layers. The whole structure rests on the Pasternak foundation. Using quasi-3D hyperbolic shear deformation theory, governing equations of a sandwich plate are driven. Moreover, face sheets are subjected to the electric field and the whole model is under thermal loading. The properties of all layers alter continuously along with thickness direction due to the CNTs and pores distributions. By conducting the current study, the results emerged in detail to assess the effects of different parameters on buckling of structure. As instance, it is revealed that highest and lowest critical buckling load and consequently stiffness, is due to the V-A and A-V CNTs dispersion type, respectively. Furthermore, it is revealed that by porosity coefficient enhancement, critical buckling load and consequently, stiffness reduces dramatically. Current paper results can be used in various high-tech industries as aerospace factories.

  • The architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry is beginning to utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM), benefiting from the resulting improved visualization and productivity, better coordination of construction drawings, building documents that contain embedded links to virtual information, faster delivery, and lower costs. However, construction firms often face challenges when reorganizing their company structure to take full advantage of these benefits. This paper proposes an organizational structure that will enable engineering-construction firms to successfully adopt and implement BIM for major construction projects. A case study research method is utilized based on in-depth interviews with four BIM directors and vice presidents charged with BIM adoption, implementation and education. Organizational transformation challenges and recommendations are discussed in detail for those considering implementing BIM in the engineering-construction industry. Topics such as organizational changes in the firm, costs and benefits of BIM implementation, strategies of BIM implementation (execution) plan, BIM education, risks and opportunities associated with BIM, BIM software, contract methods, human resource management and new hires, and the future implementation and direction of BIM are discussed in detail.

  • Grouting sleeves are an essential connecting component of prefabricated components, and the quality of grouting has a significant influence on structural integrity and seismic performance. The embedded grouting sleeve (EGS)'s grouting defects are highly undetectable and random, and no effective monitoring method exists. This paper proposes an ultrasonic guided wave method and provides a set of guidelines for selecting the optimal frequency and suitable period for the EGS. The optimal frequency was determined by considering the group velocity, wave structure, and wave attenuation of the selected mode. Guided waves are prone to multi-modality, modal conversion, energy leakage, and dispersion in the EGS, which is a multi-layer structure. Therefore, a time-reversal (TR)-based multi-mode focusing and dispersion automatic compensation technology is introduced to eliminate the multi-mode phase difference in the EGS. First, the influence of defects on guided waves is analyzed according to the TR coefficient. Second, two major types of damage indicators, namely, the time domain and the wavelet packet energy, are constructed according to the influence method. The constructed wavelet packet energy indicator is more sensitive to the changes of defecting than the conventional time-domain similarity indicator. Both numerical and experimental results show that the proposed method is feasible and beneficial for the detection and quantitative estimation of the grouting defects of the EGS.

  • The formation process and the dynamical properties of a large-scale quasi-circular flare ribbon were investigated using the SDO AIA and HMI data along with data from RHESSI and SOT. Within one hour time interval, two subsequent M-class flares were detected from the NOAA 12371 that had a ${\beta}{\gamma}{\delta}$ configuration with one bipolar sunspot group in the east and one unipolar spot in the west embedded in a decayed magnetic field. Earlier M2.0 flare was associated with a coronal loop eruption, and a two-ribbon structure formed within the bipolar sunspot group. On the other hand, the later M2.6 flare was associated with a halo CME, and a quasi-circular ribbon developed encircling the full active region. The observed quasi-circular ribbon was strikingly large in size spanning 650" in north-south and 500" in east-west direction. It showed the well-known sequential brightening in the clockwise direction during the decay phase of the M2.6 flare at the estimated speed of 160.7 km s-1. The quasi-circular ribbon also showed the radial expansion, especially in the southern part. Interestingly, at the time of the later M2.6 flare, the third flare ribbon parallel to the early two-ribbon structure also developed near the unipolar sunspot, then showed a typical separation in pair with the eastern most ribbon of the early two ribbons. The potential field reconstruction based on the PFSS model showed a fan shaped magnetic configuration including fan-like field lines stemming from the unipolar spot and fanning out toward the background decayed field. This large-scale fan-like field overarched full active region, and the footpoints of fan-like field lines were co-spatial with the observed quasi-circular ribbon. From the NLFF magnetic field reconstruction, we confirmed the existence of a twisted flux rope structure in the bipolar spot group before the first M2.0 flare. Hard X-ray emission signatures were detected at the site of twisted flux rope during the pre-flare phase of the M2.0 flare. Based on the analysis of both two-ribbon structure and quasi-circular ribbon, we suggest that a tether-cutting reconnection between sheared arcade overarching the twisted flux rope embedded in a fan-like magnetic field may have triggered the first M2.0 flare, then secondary M2.6 flare was introduced by the fan-spine reconnection because of the interaction between the expanding field and the nearby quasi-null and formed the observed large-scale quasi-circular flare ribbon.

  • 본 논문에서 제안되는 워터마크(Watermark) 삽입 알고리즘은 웨이블릿 변환 영역에서 구성되는 부대역간의 트리구조(Tree structure)와 공간 영역에서의 윤곽선 정보를 이용하여 워터마크를 삽입할 영역을 결정하고 삽입한다. 먼저 생성되는 고주파 성분의 부대역으로부터 저주파 부대역으로 중요 주파수 영역을 예측하게 되는데 웨이블릿 변환영역에서 구성된 트리구조에서 높은 주파수를 가지는 LHI 부대역을 4${\times}$4의 부행렬(Submatrix)로 나누고 행렬에 대한 평균과 이들에 의해 구성되는 블록 행렬(Block matrix)로부터 전체 평균 및 워터마크 삽입에 이용될 임계값을 얻는다. 또한 주파수 영역에서 구해진 에너지 특성에 대한 블록 행렬과 공간 영역에서 얻어진 영상의 윤곽선 정보에 의해 워터마크가 삽입될 위치인 키맵(Keymap)이 구해진다. 구해진 키맵에 따라서 LFSR(Linear feedback shift register)을 이용하여 발생된 무작위 순열(Random sequence)를 웨이블릿 도메인에서 이웃 웨이블릿 계수간의 관계를 이용하여 삽입한다. 최종적으로 역 웨이블릿 변환을 취함으로써 워터마크가 삽입된 영상을 생성한다. 제안된 워터마킹 알고리즘은 JPEG과 같은 압축과 Blurring, Sharpening, 그리고 가우시안(Gaussian) 잡음 등의 공격에 대해서도 기존의 방식에 비해 약 2㏈ 절도 높은 PSNR(Peak signal to noise ratio)를 보이면서 2%에서 8% 정도 높은 NR(Normalized correlation)를 가져서 좋은 특성을 나타냈다.

  • 본 논문에서는 PMOS 구조를 삽입한 새로운 구조의 SCR(Silicon Controlled Rectifier)기반 ESD(Electrostatic Discharge) 보호소자를 제안한다. 제안된 ESD 보호회로는 내부에 PMOS가 추가적으로 형성된 구조적 특징을 지니며, Latch-up 면역 특성과 향상된 감내특성을 갖는다. TCAD 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 기존의 ESD 보호회로와 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 분석 결과, 제안된 보호 ESD 보호회로는 기존 SCR 기반 ESD 보호소자 HHVSCR(High Holding Voltage SCR)과 같은 우수한 Latch-up 면역 특성을 지닌다. 또한 HBM(Human Body Model) 최대온도 테스트 결과에 따르면, 제안된 ESD 보호회로는 355K의 최대온도 수치를 가지며, 이는 기존 HHVSCR의 373K와 비교하여 대략 20K가량 낮은 온도특성으로, 더욱 향상된 감내특성을 갖는 것으로 확인되었다. 제안된 ESD 보호소자는 N-STACK 기술을 적용하여 설계하여 전압별 적용이 가능함을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다. 시뮬레이터로 시뮬레이션을 해본 결과, 제안된 ESD 보호회로는 단일 구조에서 2.5V의 홀딩전압 특성을 지니며, N배수의 증배에 따라 2-STACK 4.2V, 3-STACK 6.3V, 4-STACK 9.1V로 증가된 홀딩전압을 갖는 것을 확인하였다.
