Electromagnetic fields, radiated from an intestine-ingested source and propagated through an inhomogeneous human body model, are computed with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The calculated results obtained at some receiving points vertically placed according to the abdomen of the human body model show unusual dip patterns in the frequency domain. The frequency of this unusual dip varies according to the location of the receiving points. Thus, the relationship between the frequency of the unusual dip and the incident angle of the line-of-sight is analyzed. The effect of the location of an ingested source on the above relationship is also investigated. The slope of the approximately linear relationship is affected by the location of the ingested source.

A simply supported hybrid plate consisting of top and bottom functionally graded elastic layers and an intermediate actuating or sensing homogeneous piezoelectric layer is investigated by an elasticity (piezoelasticity) method, which is based on state space formulations. The general spring layer model is adopted to consider the effect of bonding adhesives between the piezoelectric layer and the two functionally graded ones. The two functionally graded layers are inhomogeneous along the thickness direction, which are approached by laminate models. The effect of interlaminar bonding imperfections on the static bending and free vibration of the smart plate is discussed in the numerical examples.

Critical current of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coil is influenced by its own self magnetic field. Direction and density distribution of the magnetic field around the coil are fixed after the shape of the coil is decided. If the entire part of the HTS tape has homogeneous $I_c$ distribution characteristic, quench would be initiated in fixed location on the coil. However, the actual HTS tape has inhomogeneous $I_c$ distribution along the length. If the $I_c$ distribution of the HTS tape is known, we can expect the spot within the HTS coil that has the highest probability to initiate the quench. In this paper, $I_c$ distribution within the HTS coil under self-field effect is simulated by MATLAB. In the simulation procedure, $I_c$ distribution of the entire part of the HTS tape is assume d to follow Gaussian-distribution by central limit theorem. The HTS coil model is divided into several segments, and the critical current of each segment is calculated based on the-generalized Kim model. Single pancake model is simulated and self-field of HTS coil is calculated by Biot-Savart's law. As a result of simulation, quench-initiating spot in the actual HTS coil can be predicted statistically. And that statistical analysis can help detect or protect the quench of the HTS coil.

식도암은 병변의 길이가 길고 깊이의 불균질성으로 인하여 방사선의 균일한 선량분포를 얻기 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 개선해 보고자 Half beam 법을 이용하여 선량분포의 균질성을 극복해 보고자 환자의 영상을 바탕으로 하여 Normal beam과 Half beam을 이용하여 각각 치료계획을 세워 표적체적포함율과 선량체적곡선, 일치성지수와 균질성지수를 상호 비교하고, 인접정상장기인 심장, 척수, 폐를 비교해 보고자 한다. 실험결과 Half beam을 이용한 치료계획이 표적체적포함율과 선량체적곡선 그리고 일치성지수와 균질성지수가 우수하였으며 정상조직 보호측면에서도 미미하지만 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 정확한 환자자세가 확보되지 않으면 부작용이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서, 기하학적으로 정확한 환자의 위치잡이를 수반한 Half beam의 적용은 선량적으로 유용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In the present study, thermo-electro-mechanical vibration characteristics of functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) Timoshenko nanobeams subjected to in-plane thermal loads and applied electric voltage are carried out by presenting a Navier type solution for the first time. Three kinds of thermal loading, namely, uniform, linear and non-linear temperature rises through the thickness direction are considered. Thermo-electro-mechanical properties of FGP nanobeam are supposed to vary smoothly and continuously throughout the thickness based on power-law model. Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory is exploited to describe the size dependency of nanobeam. Using Hamilton's principle, the nonlocal equations of motion together with corresponding boundary conditions based on Timoshenko beam theory are obtained for the free vibration analysis of graded piezoelectric nanobeams including size effect and they are solved applying analytical solution. According to the numerical results, it is revealed that the proposed modeling can provide accurate frequency results of the FGP nanobeams as compared to some cases in the literature. In following a parametric study is accompanied to examine the effects of several parameters such as various temperature distributions, external electric voltage, power-law index, nonlocal parameter and mode number on the natural frequencies of the size-dependent FGP nanobeams in detail. It is found that the small scale effect and thermo-electrical loading have a significant effect on natural frequencies of FGP nanobeams.

In the present investigation, thermal buckling and free vibration characteristics of functionally graded (FG) Timoshenko nanobeams subjected to nonlinear thermal loading are carried out by presenting a Navier type solution. The thermal load is assumed to be nonlinear distribution through the thickness of FG nanobeam. Thermo-mechanical properties of FG nanobeam are supposed to vary smoothly and continuously throughout the thickness based on power-law model and the material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent. Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory is exploited to describe the size dependency of nanobeam. Using Hamilton's principle, the nonlocal equations of motion together with corresponding boundary conditions based on Timoshenko beam theory are obtained for the thermal buckling and vibration analysis of graded nanobeams including size effect. Moreover, in following a parametric study is accompanied to examine the effects of the several parameters such as nonlocal parameter, thermal effect, power law index and aspect ratio on the critical buckling temperatures and natural frequencies of the size-dependent FG nanobeams in detail. According to the numerical results, it is revealed that the proposed modeling can provide accurate frequency results of the FG nanobeams as compared some cases in the literature. Also, it is found that the small scale effects and nonlinear thermal loading have a significant effect on thermal stability and vibration characteristics of FG nanobeams.

사람들은 하루에도 수없이 어떤 물체나 사람을 찾는다. 이때 찾아야 하는 대상이 무엇인가 하는 정보 외에도 그 대상이 가지고 있는 지각적 정보도 시각탐색에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 안구운동추적기를 사용하여 탐색 목표를 알려주는 사전제시 자극의 크기 정보가 시각탐색과정에 영향을 주는지를 알아 보고자 하였다. 실험참가자는 화면가운데 제시된 특정 기호 자극(사전제시 자극)을 먼저 확인하고, 이후 화면 주변에 원형으로 제시된 8개의 자극들(탐색 디스플레이) 중 그 자극(목표자극)을 찾아 그 크기가 사전제시시와 동일한지 혹은 달라졌는지를 판단하는 과제를 실시하였다. 실험조건은 탐색 디스플레이가 모두 동일한 크기를 가진 항목들로 이루어졌는지 여부(동질적 디스플레이/이질적 디스플레이)와 목표자극의 사전제시시 크기(큼/작음)와 탐색시 크기(큼/작음)에 따라 8개의 피험자내 조건으로 구성되었다. 연구가설은 탐색 함목들이 다른 크기를 가진 이질적 디스플레이 조건에서 실험참가자는 사전제시 자극의 크기 정보와 일치하는 항목들을 먼저 살펴볼 전략을 사용할 것이라고 예측하였다. 실험결과, 과제수행 반응시간에서 탐색 디스플레이의 주효과, 목표자극의 탐색시 크기 주효과, 그리고 디스플레이 조건에 따라 다른 목표자극의 사전제시시와 탐색시 크기의 일치성 효과가 관찰되었다. 안구운동 측정치들을 분석한 결과, 그 첫 도약이 탐색 목표자극으로 향한 비율(Initial Saccade to Target Ratio)에서 반응시간과 유사하게 탐색 디스플레이 조건에 따라 목표자극의 크기 일치성 효과가 각각 달리 나타났다. 즉, 목표자극의 크기의 일치성 효과는 이질적 디스플레이 조건에서만 관찰되었는데, 이는 실험참가자들이 목표자극의 크기 정보를 바탕으로 탐색 항목들 중 사전 목표자극의 크기와 같은 항목들에게 먼저 주의를 기울였음을 나타낸다. 사후 분석 결과, 목표자극의 크기가 일관될 때는 이질적 디스플레이 조건의 안구움직임과 과제수행이 동질적 디스플레이 조건 보다 조금 더 빨랐으나, 목표 자극의 크기가 달라질 때는 오히려 더 느려졌음을 알 수 있었다.

High temperature densification behaviors of alumina powder compacts were investigated under hot pressing and hot isostatic pressing. An alumina part of valve-head shape was fabricated under hot pressing and its forming process was simulated by finite element calculation. an alumina powder compact encapsulated by a stainless steel container was also densified under hot isostatic pressing. Inhomogeneous deformations during hot isostatic pressing due to the canning effect were observed experimentally and predicted by finite element analysis.

Large-area graphene films produced by means of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) are polycrystalline and thus contain numerous grain boundaries that can greatly degrade their performance and produce inhomogeneous properties. A better grain boundary engineering in CVD graphene is essential to realize the full potential of graphene in large-scale applications. Here, we report a defect-selective atomic layer deposition (ALD) for stitching grain boundaries of CVD graphene with ZnO so as to increase the connectivity between grains. In the present ALD process, ZnO with hexagonal wurtzite structure was selectively grown mainly on the defect-rich grain boundaries to produce ZnO-stitched CVD graphene with well-connected grains. For the CVD graphene film after ZnO stitching, the inter-grain mobility is notably improved with only a little change in free carrier density. We also demonstrate how ZnO-stitched CVD graphene can be successfully integrated into wafer-scale arrays of top-gated field effect transistors on 4-inch Si and polymer substrates, revealing remarkable device-to-device uniformity.
