Dynamic modelingand active vibration control of smart hull structure using Macro Fiber Composite (MFC) actuators are conducted. Finite element modeling is used to obtain equations of motion and boundary effects of smart hull structure. Modal analysis is carried out to investigate the dynamic characteristics of the smart hull structure, and compared to the results of experimental investigation. Negative velocity feedback control algorithm is employed to investigate active damping of hull structure. It is observed that non-resonant vibration of hull structure is suppressed effectively by the MFC actuators.

In the present paper, dynamic characteristics and vibration control performance of a cylindrical shell structure are experimentally investigated and results are presented in the air and underwater conditions. End-capped cylindrical shell structure is manufactured and macro-fiber composite(MFC) actuators are attached on the inside-surface of the structure. Modal characteristics are studied in the air and under the water conditions and then equation of motion of the structure is derived from the test results. Structural vibration control performances of the proposed structure are evaluated via experiments with optimal control algorithm. Vibration control performances are presented both in the frequency and time domains.

In this paper, feasibility of dynamic characteristics recovery of delaminated composite structure is numerically studied by using active control algorithm and piezoelectric actuator. Macro-fiber composite(MFC), which has great flexibility and high actuating force, is considered as an actuator in this work. After construction of finite element model for delaminated composite structure based on improved layerwise theory, modal characteristics are investigated and changes of natural frequencies and mode shapes, caused by delamination, are observed. Then, active control algorithm is realized and implemented to system model and control performances are numerically evaluated. Dynamic characteristics of delaminated composite structure are effectively recovered to those of healthy composite structure.

[ $WO_3$ ] and $NiO-WO_3$ thin films were deposited on a Si (100) substrate by using high vacuum thermal evaporation. The effects of various film thicknesses on the surface morphology $WO_3$ and $NiO-WO_3$ thin films were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) were employed to characterize the deposited films. The results suggest that as $WO_3$ thin films became thick, their grain grew up to a $0.6{\mu}m$. On the other hand, NiO-doping to $WO_3$ thin films inhibited the grain growth five times less than undoped $WO_3$ thin films. This results show that NiO doping inhibited the grain growing of $WO_3$ thin films. Also, the variation of NOx sensitivity $(R_{NOx}/R_{air})$ to the thickness of $WO_3$ and $NiO-WO_3$ thin films were measured according to the thickness change of thin films and the working temperature of sensor in 5ppm NOx gas. As a result, $NiO-WO_3$ thin films showed more excellent properties than $WO_3$ thin films for NOx sensitivity.
