In the present paper a three-dimensional non-linear truss element and a short computer program for the modeling and predicting approximate lateral deflections in thin glass plates by the method of incremental loading are proposed. Due to the out-of-plane large deflections of thin glass plates compared to the plate thickness within each loading increment, the equilibrium and stiffness conditions are written with respect to the deformed structure. An application is presented on a thin fully tempered monolithic rectangular glass plate, laterally supported around its perimeter subjected to uniform wind pressure. The results of the analysis are compared with published experimental results and found to have satisfactory approximation. It is also observed that the large deflections of a glass plate lead to a part substitution of the bending plate behavior by a tensioned membrane behavior which is favorable.

We present the design and fabrication of a 60 GHz medium power amplifier monolithic microwave integrated circuit with excellent gain-flatness for a 60 GHz radio-over-fiber system. The circuit has a 4-stage structure using microstrip coupled lines instead of metal-insulator-metal capacitors for unconditional stability of the amplifier and yield enhancement. The gains of each stage of the amplifier are modified to provide broadband characteristics of input/output matching for the first and fourth stages and to achieve higher gains for the second and third stages to improve the gain-flatness of the amplifier for wideband.

이번 연구에서는 저속 비압축성 유체-구조 연성을 고려한 위상 최적화을 위해 새로운 모노리틱 해석을 개발한다. 이 새로운 해석 기법에서는 기존의 유체-구조 연성 시스템 해석 기법에서 유체와 구조 영역을 분리하고 연성 조건을 만족시키는 것과 다르게 하나의 일치된 해석 방정식을 유체 영역과 구조 영역에 동일하게 적용한다. 또한, 경계조건을 만족시키기 위하여 단일화 된 해석 방정식의 물성치를 바꾸어주는 새로운 방식을 제시하였다. 이 새로운 방법에서는 유체, 구조 영역을 분리하지 않고 Navier-Stoke's 방정식과 선형 탄성식을 동시에 사용하였다. 또한, 유체-구조 영역이 연성 해석 중 변화하는 것을 반영하기 위하여 구조 변위를 이용하여 Deformation tensor를 계산하였고 이를 이용하여 변형 후에서의 Navier-Stoke 방정식의 미분을 계산하는 방법을 제안하였다. 그리고, 정상 상태 유체를 가정하고 속도에 비례하는 마찰힘인 Darcy's force 항을 Navier-Stoke 방정식에 넣고 이 마찰 힘의 크기를 변화시킴으로 해서 유체 방정식에서의 연성 경계 조건을 만족시켰다. 선형 탄성 방정식에서 Divergence이론을 이용해서 경계에서 작용하는 외력이 하는 일을 내부 시스템에 하는 일로 계산하였다. 개발된 모노리스 해석 방법을 이용하여 저속 비압축성 유체가 구조에 미치는 압축력을 계산하였고 이용하여 컴플라이언트 미케니즘을 설계하였다.

The modification of magnetic structures for an E-core switched reluctance machine (SRM) comprising two segmented stator cores or a monolithic stator core is presented for ease of assembly, good manufacturability, mechanical robustness, and electromagnetic performance improvement. The E-core stator has four small poles with phase windings and two or four large poles (hereafter referred to as common poles), in between. The common poles are shared by both phases for positive torque generation during the entire operation. The E-core SRMs are compared to a conventional two-phase SRM. The comparison includes cost savings, torque, copper and core losses, and efficiency in order to validate the distinct features of the E-core SRMs. Magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) technique is employed for proving the benefits of the E-core common-pole structure.

The release of heparin from monolithic devices composed of different ratios of polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide (PEO-PPO) and hydrophobic polyurethane was investigated. The release rate of heparin could be controlled by varying the PEO-PPO content. The heparin release rate from the devices increased as the content of PEO-PPO in the devices increased. The release mechanism may be associated with creation of micro-channels and pores through the devices following the change in the physical structure of the polymer network. Hydrophobic polyurethane containing PEO-PPO can provide an antithrombogenic material for prolonged release of heparin from a heparin blended system.

An ultraviolet (UV) image sensor is an extremely important optoelectronic device used in scientific and medical applications because it can detect images that cannot be obtained using visible or infrared image sensors. Because photodetectors and transistors are based on different materials, conventional UV imaging devices, which have a hybrid-type structure, require additional complex processes such as a backside etching of a GaN epi-wafer and a wafer-to-wafer bonding for the fabrication of the image sensors. In this study, we developed a monolithic GaN UV passive pixel sensor (PPS) by integrating a GaN-based Schottky-barrier type transistor and a GaN UV photodetector on a wafer. Both individual devices show good electrical and photoresponse characteristics, and the fabricated UV PPS was successfully operated under UV irradiation conditions with a high on/off extinction ratio of as high as $10^3$. This integration technique of a single pixel sensor will be a breakthrough for the development of GaN-based optoelectronic integrated circuits.

This paper describes a low-loss, compact, 40-channel arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) which utilizes a monolithically integrated spot-size converter (SSC) for lowering the coupling loss between silica waveguides and standard single-mode fibers. The SSC is a simple waveguide structure that is tapered in both the vertical and horizontal directions. The vertically tapered structure was realized using a shadow-mask etching technique. By employing this technique, the fabricated, 40-channel, 100 GHz-spaced AWG with silica waveguides of 1.5% relative index-contrast showed an insertion-loss figure of 2.8 dB without degrading other optical performance.

The high performance 94 GHz MMIC(Monolithic Micro-wave Integrated Circuit) single balanced mixer was designed and fabricated, using MHEMT structure based diodes and a CPW(Coplanar Waveguide) tandem coupler. A novel single-balanced structure of diode mixer is proposed in this work, where a 3-dB tandem coupler with two section of parallel-coupled line. Implemented air-bridge crossover structures achieve wide frequency operation and the fabricated mixer exhibits excellent LO-RF isolation, larger than 30 dB, in the 5 GHz bandwidth of 91-96 GHz. A good conversion loss of 7.4 dB is measured at 94 GHz. The proposed MHEMT-based diode mixer shows superior LO-RF isolation and conversion loss to those of the W-band mixers reported to date.

By alternating $Al_{18}B_4O_{33}$/AC4CH composites with Al1050 sheets and then hot pressing, MMC/Al laminate composites have been successfully fabricated as parameters of the laminate structure and the number of Al sheet. Impact properties for laminate composites have been evaluated both in the laminate structure and in the impact load direction. Lamination of Al sheet and MMC layer showed a remarkable improvement in the absorbed impact energy compared to that of monolithic MMC. Laminate composites mounted with Al sheet at the outside of the configuration had a higher impact energy in the edge wise compared to that with Al sheet at the inside. Furthermore, there was an anisotrpy in the impact value of laminate composites, that is, impact values for the flat wise in a constant volume fraction of Al sheet dramatically increased along with Al sheet number, even if impact values fur the edge wise were nearly constant.
