The conventional wind and twisted-wind effect on aerodynamic properties of neighboring buildings arranged in side-by-side and tandem systems at 2B and 5B spacings are systematically investigated by large eddy simulation. Different physical interactions between different wind profiles and neighboring buildings will be deeply understood. The neighboring-building system under two different types of wind profiles, i.e., conventional wind profile (CWP), twisted wind profiles (TWP) with the maximum twisted angle of 30°, is used to evaluate the variation of physical mechanism between wind and buildings. Aerodynamic characteristics including mean and RMS pressure coefficient, and velocity field were systematically analyzed and compared between different scenario. It was found that the distribution of mean pressure, root-mean-square x velocity and the streamline of wind flow for TWP greatly deviated from CWP, and the effect of TWP on the downstream building, was drastically different from that of CWP, such as the size of vortexes after the lower stream building being bigger when exposed to TWP, and the mean pressure distribution on the building surfaces are also different. Moreover, evidence of buildings arranged in side-by-side and tandem configurations having interchangeable properties under TWP was also discovered, that two buildings being arranged side-by-side exposed to TWP could be identified as being arranged in tandem with a different wind twist angle, or vice versa.

This paper is to investigate the potentials of the elastic seismic design of twisted high-rise steel diagrid frame buildings in the strong wind and moderate/low seismicity regions. First, the prototypes of high-rise steel diagrid frames with architectural plans that have a twist angle of 0 (regular-shaped), 1, and 2 degrees were designed to resist wind. Then, the effects of the twist angle on the estimated quantities and structural redundancies of the diagrid frames were examined. Second, the seismic performance of the wind-designed prototype buildings under a low seismicity was evaluated. The response spectrum analysis was conducted for the service level earthquake (SLE) having 43-year return period and the maximum considered earthquake (MCE) having 2475-year return period. The evaluation resulted that the twisted high-rise steel diagrid frames resisted the service level earthquake elastically and most of their diagrid members remained elastic even under the maximum considered earthquake.

We investigate Landau level spectra of twisted bilayer graphene under a perpendicular magnetic field, showing that the layers provide rich electronic structure depending on misoriented angle. New types of excitations with Landau level sequences due to the reflection of interlayer coupling level are matter of interest in the present work. We calculate the electronic structure of bilayer systems with a relative small angle rotation of the two graphene layers. Calculated Landau level spectra for twisted bilayer graphene using a continuum formulation are in good agreement with existing experimental and theoretical studies. Twist angle dependent numerical simulations provide significant insights for the nature of the Landau level spectra in bilayer graphene, combining signals from both massive and massless Dirac fermions. We finally discuss the influence of the graphene layers in the experimental sample that related to the magneto-transport measurements including quantum Hall conductance.

The twisting and extrusion process of the product with involute helical fin from the round billet is developed by the upper bound analysis. The twisting of extruded product is caused by the twisted inclined die surface connecting the die enterance section and the die exit section linearly. In the analysis, the internal shear surface is defined as the curved twisted plane from the twisting of die surface and the shear work is calculated by the consumption of shear energy. The increase rate of angular velocity is determined by the minimization of plastic work. The angular velocity of die exit can be controlled by the land length and the length of inclined die. The alular velocity assums to be increased linearly by the axial distance from the die enterance to the die exit. The results of the analysis show that the angular velocity of the extruded product increases with the die twisting angle, the reduction of area, and decreases with the die length, the friction constant.

We studied on an electro-optical (EO) hysteresis, coming from the in-plane modulation of the molecular reorientation, in highly twisted nematic liquid crystal devices. Varying a ratio d/$P_0$ of the cell thickness d to the natural pitch $P_0$, the EO hysteresis and the twisted angle transition were observed and analyzed in terms of the periodicity of the in-plane modulation within the continuum theory.

We developed a polarimetric fiber-optic current sensor system for protective relaying usage. A fiber sensing coil that consisted of a length of twisted fiber and a FRM (Faraday rotator mirror) was used in order to suppress the linear birefringence effect. From the experiments with various sensing coil configurations and environmental conditions, the proposed current sensor system showed feasibility of suppressing environmental noises, and the obtained measurement stability was less than $\pm$3％ at rated primary current.

The Changhee polynomials and numbers are introduced in [6]. Some interesting identities and properties of those polynomials are derived from umbral calculus (see [6]). In this paper, we consider Witt-type formula for the n-th twisted Changhee numbers and polynomials and derive some new interesting identities and properties of those polynomials and numbers from the Witt-type formula which are related to special polynomials.

We have developed a new type of transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) with a single cell gap and a single LC mode. In our transflective configuration, a single LC mode of a 60$^{\circ}$ twisted nematic LC was used for both transmissive and reflective applications. The measured electro-optic characteristics of our transflective LC cell agree well with numerical simulation results. Moreover, the transmittance was found to show similar behavior to the reflectance.

A new bearing concept, the wave journal bearing, has been developed to improve the steady and dynamic performance of a hydrodynamic journal bearing. This concept features a wave in inner bearing surface. Not only straight but also twisted wave journal bearing are investigated numerically. The performances of straight and twisted bearings are compared to a plain journal bearing over a relatively wide range of eccentricity. The bearing load and stability characteristics are dependent on the geometric parameters such as the number of waves, the amplitude and the starting point of the wave relative to the applied load. The wave journal bearing, especially for the twisted one, offers better stability than the plain journal bearing under all eccentricity and all wave to load orientation.

In this study the progressive collapse resisting capacities of tall diagrid buildings were evaluated based on arbitrary column removal scenario, and the seismic load-resisting capacities were investigated through fragility analysis and ATC 63 procedure. As analysis model structures both regular and twisted diagrid structures were designed and their load-resisting capacities were compared by nonlinear static and dynamic analyses. The analysis results showed that the progressive collapse potential of twisted buildings decreased as the twisting angle increased, but the seismic fragility or the probability of failure decreased as the twisting angle increased.
