The stitching process has been widely utilized for the improvement of through-thickness property of the conventional laminated composites. This paper reports the effects of stitching on the flexural and interlaminar shear properties of multi-axial warp knitted (MWK) composites in order to identify the mechanical property improvements. In order to minimize the geometric uncertainties associated with the stacking pattern of fabrics, the regular lay-up was considered in the examination of the stitching effect. The key parameters are as follows: the stitch spacings, the stitching types, the stitching location, and the location of compression fixture nose. These parameters have little effect on the flexural and interlaminar shear properties, except for the case of stitching location. However, the geometry variations caused by the stitching resulted in minor changes to the mechanical properties consistently. Stitching on the $0^{\circ}$ fibers showed the lowest flexural strength and modulus (12% reduction for both properties). The stitch spacing of 5 mm resulted in 8% reduction for the case of interlaminar strength compared with that of 10 mm spacing.

Two-dimensional flow over a pair of circular cylinders in side-by-side arrangements at low Reynolds numbers has been numerically investigated in this study. Numerical simulations are performed, using the immersed boundary method, in the ranges of $40{\leq}Re{\leq}160$ and $g^{\ast}<5$, where Re and $g^{\ast}$ are, respectively, the Reynolds number and the spacing between the two cylinder surfaces divided by the cylinder diameter. Results show that total six kinds of wake patterns are observed over the ranges: antiphase-synchronized, inphase-synchronized, flip-flopping, single bluff-body, deflected, and steady wake patterns. It is found that the characteristics of the flow significantly depends both on the Reynolds number and gap spacing, with the latter much stronger than the former. Instantaneous flow fields, time traces, flow statistics and so on are presented to identify the wake patterns and then to understand the underlying mechanism. It is remarkable that, for the deflected wake pattern, the gap flow is deflected invariably to the cylinder of higher drag coefficient and the deflection way does not change at all. Moreover, the bifurcation phenomena where either of two wake patterns can occur are found at certain flow conditions.

To find out the most efficient arrangement of root piles reinforcing sandy soil under a strip footing, a series of model tests for the patten A of by R.H. Bassett and N.C. Last are carried out. In the model test, the variables adopted are a pile length, longitudinal spacing, and the number of rows of piles. According to the results, the most efficient longitudinal spacing of piles is six times of a pile diameter. When the pile length exceeds five times of footing width, no further increase of reinforcing effect is observed. In the pattern A, piles of second row exhibit the largest reinforcing effect and the fifth row show no significant reinforcing effect on the soil.

Target signal feature parameters are very important to classify target by active sonar. Two highly correlated broad band pulses separated by time T have a time separation pitch(TSP) of 1/T Hz which is equal to the trough-to-trough or peak-to-peak spacing of its spectrum. In this study, TSP informations which represent feature of each target signal were effectively extracted by the FFT. The extracted TSP feature parameters were also applied to the pattern recognition algorithm to classify target and to analyze their properties.

Standard crystalline solar cells are generally fabricated with the front grid pattern of silver paste contact. We have reported a detailed theoretical analysis of the proposed segmented cross grid line pattern in this paper. This work was carried out for the optimization of spacing and width of grid finger, main busbar and sub-busbar. The overall electrical and optical losses due to front contact were brought down to $10\%$ or even less as compared to the usual loss of $15\%$ or more in the conventional screen printed silver paste technology by choosing proper grid pattern and optimizing the grid parameters. The total normalized power loss for segmented mesh grid with plated metal contact was also observed and the total power loss could be brought down to $10.04\%$ unlike $11.57\%$ in the case of continuous grid and plated contact. This paper is able to outline the limitations of conventional screen printed contact.

Recently a lots of problems have observed in high densified and high integrated electronic components. One of them is ion migration phenomena, which induce the electrical short of electrical circuit. Ion migration phenomena has been observed in the field of exposing the specific environment and using for a long time. Also as the RoHS restriction was started in July 1st, 2006, Pb-free solder was utilized in electronics assemblies. In this case, it is very important to compatible between components and printed circuit board(PCB), thus surface treatment materials of PCB was changed to Sn, Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu, Cu. Therefore these new application become to need to reevaluate the sensitivity about electrochemical ion migration. This study was evaluated the occurrence time of electrochemical ion migration using by water drop test. We utilized PCB(printed circuit board) having a comb pattern as follows 0.1, 0.318, 0.5, 1.0 mm pattern distance. Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu and Sn-37Pb were electroplated on the comb pattern. 6.5V and 15.0V were applied in the comb pattern and then we measured the electrical short time causing by occurring the ion migration. In these results, we evaluate the sensitivity and derived the prediction models of ion migration occurrence time depending on the pattern materials, applied voltage and pattern spacing of PCB conductor.

In this study, an injection mold with ultra-small surface properties was manufactured using nanosecond laser processing. A superhydrophobic characteristic analysis was performed on the PET specimen manufactured through this. To this end, a hydrophobic pattern was defined using the Cassie-Baxter model. The defined features were selected with a spot diameter of 25um and pitch spacing of 30um and 35um. As a result of the basic experiment, it was confirmed that the fine pattern shape had an aspect ratio of 1:1 when the pitch interval was 35um and 20 iterations. Through the determined processing conditions, a hydrophobic pattern was implemented on the core surface of KP4. A specimen with a hydrophobic pattern was produced through injection molding. The height of the molded hydrophobic pattern is 20 ㎛ less than the depth of the core and the contact angle measurement results are 92.1°. This is a contact angle smaller than the superhydrophobic criterion. Molding analysis was performed to analyze the cause of this, and it was analyzed that the molding was not molded due to the lack of pressure in the injection machine.

$Al_2O_3/ZrO_2$eutectic fibers were grown by micro-pulling down technique and investigated their microstructure as a function of solidification rate. $Al_2O_3/ZrO_2$eutectic fibers 0.2~2 mm in diameter and 500 mm in length have been grown with a pulling rate of 0.1~15 mm/min. The eutectic microstructures changed as a function of fulling rate from rod-shaped to cellular shape containing some thin lamellar pattern via uniform lamellar structure. Typical lamellar thickness decreased from about 380 nm to 110 nm as the pulling rate increased from 1 mm/min to 15 mm/min. The interlamellar spacing fitted with the inverse-square-root dependence on pulling rate according to $\lambda$= $1{\times}v^{-1/2}$, where $\lambda$ has the dimension in $\mu\textrm{m}$ and v is $\mu\textrm{m}$/s. Hardness value reached 13.1 GPa at 15 mm/min of pulling rate and tensile strength 900 MPa at 10 mm/min were also increased as the interlamellar spacing decreased.

This study aimed to present reasonable reception bandwidth application standards for the purpose of suppressing metal objects during MRI examinations. For this purpose, T2 contrast images were acquired using high-speed spin echo technology on a phantom made of screws for spinal surgery, and metal objects were detected. In addition, images were obtained by increasing the reception bandwidth from 100 Hz/PX to 800 Hz/PX by 100 Hz/PX. The metal artifacts were determined as the sum of the areas of the signal attenuation area and the signal accumulation area. In addition, Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze the pattern of metal artifacts according to imaging variables. As a result, the signal accumulation area did not change significantly as the reception bandwidth increased (p>0.05), but the signal loss area and the area of metal artifacts decreased as the reception bandwidth increased (p<0.05). Interestingly, the area of metal objects decreased to a maximum in the section where the reception bandwidth was increased from 100 Hz/PX to 200 Hz/PX, consistent with the section where the echo spacing was reduced to a maximum due to the increase in reception bandwidth. In addition, the correlation analysis results also showed that the eco spacing was more related to the signal attenuation area and the area of metal objects than to the reception bandwidth. Therefore, if the reception bandwidth is increased for the purpose of reducing metal objects, it is reasonable to set it based on a value that minimizes the echo spacing in consideration of image quality factors.
