A study on the topology optimization of a Hard-Disk-Driver(HDD) actuator arm is presented. The purpose of the present wert is to increase the natural frequency of tole first lateral mode of the HDD actuator arm under the constraint of total moment of inertia, so as to facilitate the position control of the high speed actuator arm. The first lateral mode is an important factor in the position control process. Thus the topology optimization for 2-D model of the HDD actuator arm is considered. A new objective function corresponding to multieigenvalue optimization is suggested to improve the solution of the eigenvalue optimization problem. The material density of the structure is treated as the design variable and the intermediate density is penalized. The effects of different element types and material property functions on the final topology are studied. When the problem is discretized using 8-node element of a uniform density, tole smoothly-varying density field is obtained without checker-board patterns incurred. AS a result of 7he study, an improved design of the HDD actuator arm is suggested. Dynamic characteristics of the suggested design are compared computationally with those of the old design. With the same amount of the moment of inertia, the natural frequency of the first lateral mode of the suggested design is subsequently increased over the existing one.

A study on the topology optimization of Hard-Disk-Driver(HDD) actuator arm in free vibration is presented. The purpose of this research is to increasse the natural frequency of the first lateral mode of the HDD actuator arm under the constraint of total moment of inertia, so as to facilitate the position control of high speed actuator am. The first lateral mode is an important factor in the position control process. Thus the topology optimization for 2-D model of the HDD actuator arm is considered.

Discharge characteristics of inductively coupled plasma were investigated by using electrostatic probe and fluid simulation. The Inductively Coupled Plasma source driven by 13.56 Mhz was prepared. The signal attenuation ratios of the electrostatic probe at first and second harmonic frequency was tuned in 13.56Mhz and 27.12Mhz respectively. Electron temperature, electron density, plasma potential, electron energy distribution function and electron energy probability function were investigated by using the electrostatic probe. Experiment results were compared with the fluid simulation results. Ar plasma fluid simulations including Navier-Stokes equations were calculated under the same experiment conditions, and the dependencies of plasma parameters on process parameters were well agreed with simulation results. Because of the reason that the more collision happens in high pressure condition, plasma potential and electron temperature got lower as the pressure was higher and the input power was higher, but Electron density was higher under the same condition. Due to the same reason, the electron energy distribution was widening as the pressure was lower. And the electron density was higher, as close to the gas inlet place. It was found that gas flow field significantly affect to spatial distribution of electron density and temperature.

최근 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 홍수와 가뭄 같은 수문학적 재해가 과거에 비해 발생빈도와 크기가 변하고 있는 추세이다. 특히 가뭄은 긴 지속기간에 걸쳐 피해를 유발하므로 다른 수문학적 재해에 비해 보다 심각한 결과를 초래한다. 하지만 역설적으로 가뭄은 홍수와 달리 장기간에 거쳐 발생하므로 중요성과 심각성을 인식하기 어렵다. 따라서 가뭄의 발생에 대해 분석하고 그에 대한 대책을 마련하기 위해 여러 가지 가뭄의 종류 중 강수량과 가장 밀접한 관련이 있는 기상학적 가뭄에 대해 분석을 실시했다. 기상청에서 관측한 강수 및 온도자료를 이용하여 기상학적 가뭄지수인 팔머가뭄심도지수(Palmer Drought Severity Index), 표준강수지수(Standard Precipitation Index), EDI(Effective Drought Index)를 산정하였다. 그리고 산정된 가뭄지수를 비교분석하여, 실제 과거가뭄사상에 잘 부합되며, 일별로 지수 산정이 가능한 장점이 있는 EDI를 이용해 가뭄빈도해석을 실시하였다. 분석방법으로는 경계핵밀도함수를 이용해 EDI의 빈도해석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 대부분의 지점에서 봄철의 가뭄재현기간이 10년에서 20년 빈도 사이의 값을 나타내 다른 계절보다 봄에 가뭄이 잦음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또 영남지방과 남해안 일대의 재현기간이 상대적으로 더 짧게 나타나 지역적으로도 가뭄의 심도와 재현기간에 차이가 있음이 확인되었다.

This paper presents the simulation methodology of the interior noise of vehicle using the frequency response function based hybrid modeling of the system which consists of multi-subsystem models obtained by the test or analysis. The complex systems such as a trimmed body of high modal density and a powertrain were modeled by using experimental data, and a sub-frame of a vehicle of low modal density was modeled by finite element data. Modeling of the whole system was executed and validated in the two stages. The first stave is combining the trimmed body and the sub-frame, and the second stage is attaching the powertrain, which is a exciting source, to the combined model of the first stage. The input force to the system was modeled as an equivalent force in the virtual space, which was obtained from impedance method using the FRFs of the powertrain and the responses. The interior noise predicted by the proposed method was very close to the direct measurement, which showed feasibility of the proposed modeling procedure. Since the methodology is easily applied to both the transfer path analysis of structure-borne noise and the analysis of noise contribution of a sub-system, it is expected to be a strong tool for design change of a vehicle in the earlier stare.

In this study, the acoustic properties of steel-wire sound absorbing materials with different thickness and bulk density were investigated in terms of characteristic impedance, propagation constant, and absorption coefficient. The well-known two-cavity method was used for evaluating those acoustic parameter values in experiments. Also, in order to validate the experimentally measured values, the results were compared with the results obtained from Chung and Blaser's transfer function method and SWR method. The experimentally measured values of normal absorption coefficients were generally agreed well with the corresponding values from the transfer function method and the SWR method. Based on the experimental results, the following conclusions could be made. The magnitude of the absorption coefficient and the frequency range of the maximum absorption coefficient were controllable by changing the thickness and bulk density of the sound absorbing materials. Also, the magnitude of the absorption coefficient depended on the characteristic impedance and the propagation constant. As large as the air cavity depth at the rear side of the steel-wire sound absorbing materials, the maximum magnitude of the absorption coefficient occurred at the lower frequency ranges.

The application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has recently attracted considerable interest in various areas. A three-dimensional multiple-input multiple-output concentric two-hemisphere model is proposed to characterize the scattering environment around a vehicle in an urban UAV-to-vehicle communication scenario. Multipath components of the model consisted of lineof-sight and single-bounced components. This study focused on the key parameters that determine the scatterer distribution. A time-variant process was used to analyze the nonstationarity of the proposed model. Vital statistical properties, such as the space-time-frequency correlation function, Doppler power spectral density, level-crossing rate, average fade duration, and channel capacity, were derived and analyzed. The results indicated that with an increase in the maximum scatter radius, the time correlation and level-crossing rate decreased, the frequency correlation function had a faster downward trend, and average fade duration increased. In addition, with the increase of concentration parameter, the time correlation, space correlation, and level-crossing rate increased, average fade duration decreased, and Doppler power spectral density became flatter. The proposed model was compared with current geometry-based stochastic models (GBSMs) and showed good consistency. In addition, we verified the nonstationarity in the temporal and spatial domains of the proposed model. These conclusions can be used as references in the design of more reasonable communication systems.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among density, moisture content, and modulus of elasticity in which are important characteristics in physical and mechanical properties of woods. In this study, the dynamic MOE was calculated through the combination with resonance frequency of transverse vibration method and density, and the estimated moisture contents were calculated with two different equations (1, 2) in order to compare with experimental moisture contents. The following results from this study were obtained: 1. According to the regression analysis with two different parameters (E and density), the two regression lines appeared to be straight intersecting at 0.6 density. As another factor, moisture contents in wood also influenced on the analysing regression at the below F.S.P. 2. When considering the relationship between moisture contents and E, the tendency of each moisture content and E showed very similar pattern suggesting that moisture contents in addition to density are very important parameter. 3. When together with moisture contents and density as parameters for multiple regression analysis, coefficiences of determinations are dramatically improved. Interestingly, the coefficiences of determinations are further increased when analysing at the below point of F.S.P. and when analysing higher and lower density separately. In summary, more correct estimation of the dynamic MOE of woods can be possible with only transverse vibration and density in wood. Therefore, with this indirect method, the calculation of MOE in all kinds of woods including timber, live tree and wood products can be feasible resulting in accelerating the efficiency of time and labor.
