Here, the dynamic instability characteristics of aero-thermo-mechanically stressed functionally graded plates are investigated using finite element procedure. Temperature field is assumed to be a uniform distribution over the plate surface and varied in thickness direction only. Material properties are assumed to be temperature dependent and graded in the thickness direction according to simple power law distribution. For the numerical illustrations, silicon nitride/stainless steel is considered as functionally graded material. The aerodynamic pressure is evaluated based on first-order high Mach number approximation to the linear potential flow theory. The boundaries of the instability region are obtained using the principle of Bolotin's method and are conveniently represented in the non-dimensional excitation frequency-load amplitude plane. The variation dynamic instability width is highlighted considering various parameters such as gradient index, temperature, aerodynamic and mechanical loads, thickness and aspect ratios, and boundary condition.

The color temperature and light color of nighttime lighting in a particular city is an important factor in determining its nighttime identity. To quantitatively analyze the nocturnal characteristics of Seoul, this study focuses on the light color of the lighting sources that used in the places included in the Seoul Night View 100 Photobook. As a result, the color temperature of white light in the surveyed places is in the range of 2,500~3,500K, of which 3,000~3,500K represents the highest proportion. In addition, the color temperature in the 2,500~3,500K range was found to be evenly distributed across the five surveyed regions. Apart from white light, blue color hue accounts for a high percentage in the monochromic light category, and the excitation purity was measured to be 71.6% on average. In addition, 46% of the buildings with monochromic light are in urban centers.

서로 다른 성장조건 하에서 자발형성 InAs 양자점 (quantum dot, QD)을 제작하고. 그 특성을 photoluminescence (PL) 로 분석하였다. 비교적 높은 기판온도에서 성장된 QD 시료들의 PL 스펙트럼에서 분명한 차이를 나타내는 double-peak이 관측되었다. 온도 및 여기광 출력의존성 (temperature- and excitation power dependence) PL을 이용하여 그 double-peak이 서로 다른 크기분포를 가지는 두개의 InAs QD집단에서의 기저발광 (Eo) 에 의한 peak 임을 알 수 있었다. 게다가 이중크기분포에서 InAs 두께변화는 서로 대립되는 두 QD집단에서 QD 수의 변화를 초래한다는 것 또한 증명하였다.

Low temperature scanning laser microscopy (LTSLM) can be used for a two-dimensional display of bolometric response arising from the localized excitation of a sample by the focused laser beam. In this study, the distribution of critical temperature ($T_c$) and critical current density ($J_c$) in YBCO coated conductor were analyzed using LTSLM. For improving the temperature stability, we have modified the system into a double-shielding type. Through the modification, the temperature stability was successfully improved from ${\pm}10mK\;to\;{\pm}2mK$. The superconducting properties of YBCO coated conductors were measured for the sample of a narrow bridge type using wet etching process. The spatial non-uniformity of the ac voltage response, ${\delta}V(x)$, which is proportional to ${\partial}\rho(x,J_B)/{\partial}T$ in the transition temperature region could be observed and displayed in a two-dimensional image.

Seismic isolator system is one of the most widely used base isolation system in order to control the vibration of structure against earthquake excitation. The evaluation of vulcanization time in molding the rubber bearing is very important for both proper ability of isolator and efficiency of manufacture. This paper deals with experimental measurement of temperature of isolator with senor inside in it, and compared with the result of FEA in order to evaluate the vulcanization time. Properties of rubber bearing which is used in the FEA are obtained by controlling the specific heat of rubber. With the obtained properties of rubber, the isolator is analysed by FEA. As a result, an appropriate analytical vulcanization time is obtained. This time is regarded as an appropriate temperature, which is used to effective manufacture.

The performance of vibration-based damage detection methods is dependent upon the accuracy of modal parameters measured from structures of interest. Vibration monitoring, performed on a structure under uncertain temperature conditions, results in the uncertainty in model parameters of the structure. In this study, an experiment on the effect of various temperatures on modal characteristics of steel plate-girders is presented. First, the model plate-girder used for the experiment is described. Second, natural frequencies measured from the structure, using two different excitation sources, are described. Third, natural frequencies measured from the structure, under various temperatures, are described. Finally, the relationship between measurement temperature and natural frequency is analyzed.

Testing and validation processes are critical tasks in developing a new hardware platform based on a new technology. This paper describes a series of experiments to evaluate the performance of a newly developed MEMS-based wireless sensor node as part of a wireless sensor network (WSN). The sensor node consists of a sensor board with four accelerometers, a thermometer and filtering and digitization units, and a MICAz mote for control, local computation and communication. The experiments include calibration and linearity tests for all sensor channels on the sensor boards, dynamic range tests to evaluate their performance when subjected to varying excitation, noise characteristic tests to quantify the noise floor of the sensor board, and temperature tests to study the behavior of the sensors under changing temperature profiles. The paper also describes a large-scale deployment of the WSN on a long-span suspension bridge, which lasted over three months and continuously collected ambient vibration and temperature data on the bridge. Statistical modal properties of a bridge tower are presented and compared with similar estimates from a previous deployment of sensors on the bridge and finite element models.

Design of current lead for 21T superconducting magnets is presented. The current lead is composed of a normal metal element, conducting the current from room temperature to intermediate temperature, and an HTS element, conducting the current down to liquid helium temperature. The metal element is disengaged from the HTS element without breaking vacuum after excitation. The optimization of the lead is performed to minimize the thermal heat load when carrying operational current with some margin. In order to confirm the feasibility of our new design, the intermediate joint between a normal metal and HTS element is fabricated and the reliability is tested during engage and disengage performance. The effects of vacuum level and performance cycle on the electrical contact resistance are also investigated.

Studying the dynamic behavior of axially moving cylindrical shells in hygro-thermal environments has important theoretical and engineering value for aircraft design. Therefore, in this paper, considering hygro-thermal effect, the nonlinear forced vibration of an axially moving cylindrical shell made of functionally graded materials (FGM) is studied. It is assumed that the material properties vary continuously along the thickness and contain pores. The Donnell thin shell theory is used to derive the motion equations of FGM cylindrical shells with hygro-thermal loads. Under the four sides clamped (CCCC) boundary conditions, the Gallekin method and multi-scale method are used for nonlinear analysis. The effects of power law index, porosity coefficient, temperature rise, moisture concentration, axial velocity, prestress, damping and external excitation amplitude on nonlinear forced vibration are explored through parametric research. It can be found that, the changes in temperature and humidity have a significant effect. Increasing in temperature and humidity will cause the resonance position to shift to the left and increase the resonance amplitude.

An ultrasonic based magnetostrictive position sensor (MPS) provides an indication of real target position. It determines the real target position by multiplying the propagation speed of ultrasonic wave and the time-of-flight between the receiving signals; one is the initial signal by an excitation current and the other is the reflection signal by the ultrasonic wave. The propagation speed of the ultrasonic wave depends on the temperature of the waveguide. Hence, the change of the propagation speed in various environments is a critical factor in terms of the positioning accuracy in the MPS. This means that the influence of the changes in the waveguide temperature needs to be compensated. In this paper, we presents a novel way to improve the positioning accuracy of MPSs using temperature compensation for waveguide. The proposed method used the inherent measurement blind area for the structure of the MPS, which can simultaneously measure the position of the moving target and the temperature of the waveguide without any additional devices. The average positional error was approximately -23.9 mm and -1.9 mm before and after compensation, respectively. It was confirmed that the positioning accuracy was improved by approximately 93%.
