This paper presents a hybrid numerical approach, which combines a two-phase Navier-Stokes model (NS) and the fully nonlinear potential theory (FNPT), for modelling wave-structure interaction. The former governs the computational domain near the structure, where the viscous and turbulent effects are significant, and is solved by OpenFOAM/InterDyMFoam which utilising the finite volume method (FVM) with a Volume of Fluid (VOF) for the phase identification. The latter covers the rest of the domain, where the fluid may be considered as incompressible, inviscid and irrotational, and solved by using the Quasi Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite element method (QALE-FEM). These two models are weakly coupled using a zonal (spatially hierarchical) approach. Considering the inconsistence of the solutions at the boundaries between two different sub-domains governed by two fundamentally different models, a relaxation (transitional) zone is introduced, where the velocity, pressure and surface elevations are taken as the weighted summation of the solutions by two models. In order to tackle the challenges associated and maximise the computational efficiency, further developments of the QALE-FEM have been made. These include the derivation of an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian FNPT and application of a robust gradient calculation scheme for estimating the velocity. The present hybrid model is applied to the numerical simulation of a fixed horizontal cylinder subjected to a unidirectional wave with or without following current. The convergence property, the optimisation of the relaxation zone, the accuracy and the computational efficiency are discussed. Although the idea of the weakly coupling using the zonal approach is not new, the present hybrid model is the first one to couple the QALE-FEM with OpenFOAM solver and/or to be applied to numerical simulate the wave-structure interaction with presence of current.

Phenomena of streaming electrification of insulting oil(T.O) is studied where the oil is contacted with solid insulating materials when it is pumped through a circulating system in a large power transformer. The leakage current, the electrical potential at the neutral terminal point of the transformer and the surface electrical potential of the oil are investigated. And the leakage current from the neutral terminal point is measured as a function of a bias polarity applied to a transformer case to investigate the polarty of ion which is absorbed in the case at the interface between the case and oil. As a result, it is found that insulating materials, and it is suggested that the leakage current is the sum of the relaxation current by positive charge from insulating oil to the neutral terminal point and by electrification current from negative charge electrified by the contact with solid insulating materials.

1.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ DFB with absorption grating of 1.55${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ InGaAsP layer was fabricated. This new type of DFB laser shows self-plusation for DC operation. At low level of injection the relation between the pulsation frequency and the injection current shows similar behavior with the relaxation oscillation of ordinary laser and at high level of injection the pulsation frequency decreases compared to the relaxation oscillation. Period doubling, period 3 and 4 were observed for AC modulation. In case of period doubling the waveform shows only one pulse within a period without any accompanying subsidiary pulses and the oscillation frequency was quite stable. The pulse widths as short as 58.5 ps was achieved with AC modulation. We propose the time division multiplexing application of this kind of DFB laser.

Cyclo(L-prolyl-L-phenylalanyl) [cyclo(pro-phe)] was isolated from Streptomyces sp. AMLK-335 and found to inhibit DNA topoisomerase I activity. In a DNA relaxation assay using supercoiled pBR322 DNA, cyclo(pro-phe) inhibited the DNA topoisomerase activity more strongly than camptothecin, a known topoisomerase inhibitor. However, at a concentration of $10{\mu}M$, cyclo(pro-phe) produced a lower degree of DNA relaxation than camptothecin, therefore, the inhibition of topoisomerase I activity by cyclo(pro-phe) was also found to be dose dependent. Accordingly, the current results suggest that cyclo(pro-phe) may be a novel inhibitor of topoisomerase I.

Hall factor of electrons in $\Gamma$-valley is calculated as functions of temperature, impurity concentration, and nonparabolicity of conduction valleys by taking into account the current density obtained from the Boltzmann transport equation. The dependence of the Hall factor on the temperature is clearly shown in the case of the optical phonon scattering and that on the impurity concentration is obvious in the case of the ionized impurity scattering. As the nonparabolicity of the conduction band increases, the Hall factor due to the acoustic or optic phonon scattering increases, whereas that due to the ionized impurity scattering decreases. The change of the Hall factor can be analysed in terms of the dispersion of relaxation time.

The electrical and dielectric characteristics of ZPCCY-based varistor ceramics were investigated in the sintering time range of 1∼3 h. Increasing sintering time deteriorated the nonlinearity, in which nonlinear exponent is decreased from 51.2 to 23.8 and leakage current is increased from 1.3 to 5.6 $\mu$A. As sintering time increases, the donor concentration was decreased in the range of (1.25∼l.73)$\times$10$\^$18/cm$\^$-3/ and the density of interface states is (3.64∼94.19)$\times$10$\^$12/cm$\^$-2/ with increasing sintering time. The increase in sintering time caused tan $\delta$ to increase in the range of 0.043 to 0.062 and relaxation time to increase in the range of 1.55 to 2.23 ㎲.

The time dependence of irreversible magnetization of grain aligned infinite layer superconductor Sr$_{0.9}$La$_{0.1}$CuO$_2$ was measured in temperature range of 2 K < T < 30 K for H= 0.5 T, 1.0 T and 1.5 T parallel to c-axis. From this, we calculated normalized flux creep rate S(T) ${\equiv}$ dlnM/dlnt and found that the temperature independent region in S(T) is significantly wide in comparision with other cuprate superconductors. Using the method of Maley et al., we also deduce the current density dependence of pinning potential and glassy exponent ${\mu}$.

The objective of this paper is to predict and evaluate the sealing performance of the thermoplastic rubber component in the proto-design stage. The large strain and large deformation properties of rubber are modeled by strain energy function and the related material constants are calculated from the test data. The viscoelastic property of the rubber is also considered using the coefficients in a Prony series representation of a viscoelastic modulus ken the compression stress relaxation test. The results show that the current design of cap mount system has 2-different stiffness caused by the cap-mount contact and the viscoelastic property of rubber plays an important role in time dependent deformation.

An uncoupled computational model for analyzing the hygrothermal dynamic response of composite laminates has been developed. The constitutive equations, expressed in an integral form, and involving relaxation moduli are adopted, to describe the non-aging hygrothermorheologically simple materials. A Prony series represents the relaxation moduli is exploited in order to derive a recursive relationship, and thereby eliminate the storage problem that arises when dealing with material possessing memory. The problem is formulated in a descritized variational form. Mindlin and higher order finite elements are employed for spatial descretization, while the Newmark average acceleration scheme is exploited for temporal descritization. The adopted recursive formula uses only the details of the previous event to compute the details of the current one. Numerical results of the displacement fields of both thin and thick viscoelastic laminates problems are discussed to show up the effectiveness of Mindlin and higher-order shear theories.
