Heat loss, fin effectiveness and efficiency of a plate fin are investigated as a function of non-dimensional fin length and Biot number using a two-dimensional separation of variables method. The value of temperature of the left side is set to be different from that of the right side for this plate fin to satisfy the real physical condition. Also temperature distribution within this plate fin is listed. One of the results shows that the fin can be considered to be useful in view of fin effectiveness on the given range of Biot number when non-dimensional fin length is larger than 3.

To study the effect of collar-plate reinforcement on the static strength of tubular T-joints under axial loading, fundamental research work is carried out from both experimental test and finite element (FE) simulation. Through experimental tests on 7 collar-plate reinforced and 7 corresponding un-reinforced tubular T-joints under axial loading, the reinforcing efficiency is investigated. Thereafter, the static strengths of the above 14 models are analyzed by using FE method, and it is found that the numerical results agree reasonably well with the experimental data to prove the accuracy of the presented FE model. Additionally, a parametric study is conducted to analyze the effect of some geometrical parameters, i.e., the brace-to-chord diameter ratio ${\beta}$, the chord diameter-to-chord wall thickness ratio $2{\gamma}$, collar-plate thickness to chord wall thickness ratio ${\tau}_c$, and collar-plate length to brace diameter ratio $l_c/d_1$, on the static strength of a tubular T-joint. The parametric study shows that the static strength can be greatly improved by increasing the collar-plate thickness to chord wall thickness ratio ${\tau}_c$ and the collar-plate length to brace diameter ratio $l_c/d_1$. Based on the numerical results, parametric equations are obtained from curving fitting technique to estimate the static strength of a tubular T-joint with collar-plate reinforcement under axial loading, and the accuracy of these equations is also evaluated from error analysis.

In this paper, a compact and broadband PIFA(Planar Inverted F Antenna) which has an additive short-circuit plate along the patch length was designed. For more compact PIFA short-circuit Plate along the patch width is reduced and an additive short-circuit plate along the patch length is used to broaden the bandwidth. The effect of an additive-short-circuit plate along the patch length was verified in single band PIFA and also verified in dual-band PIFA. The commercial software, IE3D, was used to design a PIFA and its performance was verified by comparing simulated results with measurement results.

The brazing of Al to Al using Al-Si alloy filler metal was performed under different bonding conditions such as ratio of lap length to plate thickness, surface roughness and joint clearance of the lap joint. The adopted thickness of the base metal in this experiments were two kinds of 4mm and 7mm which were most commonly used in various field. Influence of several bonding conditions of Al/Al joint was quantitavely evaluated by bonding strength test, and microstructural analysis at the interlayer were performed by optical microscope. From above experiments, the optimum bonding conditions of the brazing bonding of Al/Al using Al-Si alloy filler metal was determined. The major results obtained are as follows. 1) The fracture occurs at brazed joint in the conditions of that the ratio of lap length to plate thickness is less than 2 in case of 7mm plate thickness. 2) The ratio of lap length to plate thickness which the fracture occurs at base metal is decreased with the decreasing of the plate thickness. 3) The joint strength is not affected by the surface roughness and joint clearance of the brazed part. 4) The heat-treatment of the brazed joint contribute to eliminate the boundary between the base metal and filler metal. However, the joint strength is not affected by the heat-treatment.

In this paper we investigate characteristics of deflection for circular plate with the non-symmetric boundary condition that is the boundary condition partly supported along the width direction of plate according to the length change of supporting end. For two boundary conditions such as simple supported and completely clamped boundary conditions, this study derives the maximum deflection formula of the circular plate using differential equation of elastic curve, assuming that a circular plate is a beam with the change of width and thickness along the longitudinal direction. The deflection formula of circular plate is verified by carrying out finite element analysis with regard to the ratio of length of supporting end to radius of circular plate.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of extract mixture of C. wilfordii and P. umbrosa (IPLUS-CWPU) on bone growth in 4-week old young male SD rats. To confirm the effect of IPLUS-CWPU, we measured the length of bone growth plate, the ratio of proliferative zone to the length of growth plate and the expression level of insulin-like growth factor, IGF-1. The IPLUS-CWPU treatment shows a significant increase of tibial and femoral growth plate and the ratio of proliferative zone in growth plate. Especially, the length increased by 13.9% and 25.3% in the tibia and femur, respectively, in the high-dose group compared to the normal group. Moreover, the expression of IGF-1 gene in liver was upregulated in IPLUS-CWPU treated groups. These results indicated that IPLUS-CWPU administration could increase the proliferative zone of bone growth plate in early developmental stage by upregulation of IGF-1 gene.

Flexural tests on 2.4m long reinforced concrete beams with epoxy-bonded GFRP plates are reported in these tests. The selected experimental variables are strengthening plate length, plate thickness, plate width and the method of anchoring the plate ends. The effects of these variables in overall behavior are discussed. The results generally indicate that the flexural strength of strengthened beams is increased. The ductile behavior of tested beams in inversely proportional to the plate thickness, plate width. The use of an U-jacket plate provided a proper anchorage system and improved the ductility of beams.

In this research, bending analysis of a micro sandwich skew plate with isotropic core and piezoelectric composite face sheets reinforced by carbon nanotube on the elastic foundations are studied. The classical plate theory (CPT) are used to model micro sandwich skew plate and to apply size dependent effects based on modified strain gradient theory. Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach is considered for the effective mechanical properties of the nanocomposite face sheets. The governing equations of equilibrium are derived using minimum principle of total potential energy and then solved by extended Kantorovich method (EKM). The effects of width to thickness ratio and length to width of the sandwich plate, core-to-face sheet thickness ratio, the material length scale parameters, volume fraction of CNT, the angle of skew plate, different boundary conditions and types of cores on the deflection of micro sandwich skew plate are investigated. One of the most important results is the reduction of the deflection by increasing the angle of the micro sandwich skew plate and decreasing the deflection by decreasing the thickness of the structural core. The results of this research can be used in modern construction in the form of reinforced slabs or stiffened plates and also used in construction of bridges, the wing of airplane.

Spherical object in wind is a common scenario in daily life and engineering practice. The main challenge in understanding the aerodynamics in turbulent wind lies in the multi-aspect of turbulence. This paper presents a wind tunnel study, which focuses on the role of turbulence integral length scale ${\Lambda}$ on the drag of a sphere. Particular turbulent flow conditions were achieved via the proper combination of wind speed, orifice perforated plate, sphere diameter (D) and distance downstream from the plate. The drag was measured in turbulent flow with $2.2{\times}10^4{\leq}Re{\leq}8{\times}10^4$, $0.043{\leq}{\Lambda}/D{\leq}3.24$, and turbulence intensity Tu up to 6.3%. Our results confirmed the general trends of decreasing drag coefficient and critical Reynolds number with increasing turbulence intensity. More interestingly, the unique role of the relative integral length scale has been revealed. Over the range of conditions studied, an integral length of approximately 65% the sphere diameter is most effective in reducing the drag.
