We calculate the facet reflectivity as a function of the waveguide width of buried channel waveguides using the angular spectrum method and the field profiles obtained by the effective index method, the variational method and the modified variational method, respectively and discuss the results. As the waveguide width increases, the facet reflectivity of buried channel waveguides approaches to that of slab waveguides. As the waveguide width decreases, the facet reflectivity of quasi-TE mode decreases from that of slab waveguides, while that of quasi-TE mode increases from that of slab waveguides. The variation of the facet reflectivity of quasi-TE mode as a function of waveguide width is much larger than that of quasi-TM mode. When the aspect ratio is one, the difference between the facet reflectivity of quasi-TE mode and that of quasi-TM mode using the variational method and the modified variational method is negligible, while the difference between the facet reflectivity of quasi-TE mode and that of quasi-TM mode using the effective index method is large. In the case of quasi-TE mode, the facet reflectivity using the angular spectrum method and the field profiles obtained by the modified variational method could be more accurate than that obtained by the effective method. In the case of quasi-TM mode, the facet reflectivities obtained by the various methods are almost the same.

This paper deals with the estimation of the maximum flexural crack widths using minimum crack spacing for reinforced concrete members. The proposed method utilizes the conventional crack and bond-slip theories as well as bonding transfer length and effects of creep and shrinkage between the reinforcement and concrete. An analytical equation for the estimation of the maximum flexural crack width is formulated as a function of mean bond stress. The validity, accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are established by comparing the analytical results with the experimental data and the major code specifications (e.g., ACI, CEB-FIP Model code, Eurocode 2, etc.). The analytical results of analysis presented in this paper indicate that the proposed method can be effectively estimated the maximum flexural crack width of the reinforced concrete members.

Laser induced surface hardening of Tool steel(STC5) can be achieved either with or without surface melting. In trans-formation hardening as the surface is heated to a temperature below its melting point and is rapidly cooled solidified microstructures are usually much finer and stronger than those of the base matals. For this reason surface modification of tool steel by YAG laser irradiation has been studied as a function of processing parameters such as power density pulse width defocusing distance and molten depth. The high energy density changes and refines the microstructure of the near surface layer. In the case of beam passes martensite formed in the melt zone exhibited very high vickers hardness values. Molten depth and width depend on defocusing distance and energy of black color painting is more absorptive than other color painting.

This paper deals with the estimation of the maximum crack widths considering bond-slip relationships based on experimental data that were tensed by axial force. It is certificated that the concrete stress condition clearly affects the bond-slip relationship. The proposed method utilizes the conventional crack and bond-slip theories as well as the characteristics of deformed reinforcement and size effects. An analytical equation for the estimation of the maximum flexural crack width is formulated as a function of minimum crack length and the coefficient of bond stress effect. The validity, accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are established by comparing the analytical results with the experimental data and the major specifications (e.g., ACI, CEB-FIP Model code, Turocode 2, JSCE, etc.). The analytical results presented in this paper indicate that the proposed method can be effectively estimated the maximum flexural crack width of reinforced concrete.

In a double deflector employed microcolumn, the variation of FOV and scan field width was investigated in mode of conversely biased double deflector to eliminate barrel distortion caused by aberration. The relationship between biased voltage of each deflector and electron emission tip voltage was studied for the maximum FOV and scan field width. The limitation and the linearity of zooming current image are also estimated as a function of electron emission tip voltage.

Inner support regions of continuous steel and concrete composite bridge decks, transverse crackings are easely developed by tensile forces due to live loads and primary and secondary effects of concrete shrinkage. Since these cracks have an influence on the durability of bridge decks, crack width should be controlled within allowable limit values. Although crack width is a function of steel stress, bar diameter, bar spacing, etc, the current code for the amount of longitudinal reinforcements provides only one value of 2 percent of the concrete area. In order to investigate cracking bahaviors of composite girders with the variation of the longitudinal steel ratios, negative flexural tests are conducted on five composite girders and crack width and crack spacing are compared to ACI Code and Eurocode. Based on the test results, it is discussed the suitability of the current code for the longitudinal steel ratio.

Flat-plate buildings are commonly modeled as two-dimensional frames to calculate lateral drift, unbalanced moments, and shear at slab-column connections. For gravity loads. the slab-column frames are analyzed using equivalent column approach, while equivalent beam approach is typical for lateral loads. The equivalent beam approach is convenient for computer analysis, but no rational procedure exists for determining the effective width of foor slabs. At present, the determination of the equivalent slab width and its stiffness is a matter of engineering judgement. To account for cracking, overly conservative assumptions are made regarding the stiffness of the slab. A rational approach is therefore needed to realistically estimate the equivalent slab width and its stiffness for unbalanced moment and lateral drift calculations. Based on the test results of 8 interior slab-column connections, an equivalent beam model is proposed in which columns are modeled conventionally as a function of column and slab aspect ratios and the magnitude of the gravity load. the proposed approach is verified with selected experimental results and is founded to be practical and convenient for analyzing flat-plate buildings subjected to gravity and lateral loading.

The commutation errors by the filtering process in the large eddy simulation are considered. It is compared the conventional filter with the inhomogeneous filter that is devised to reduce the commutation errors. The weighting factor of the inhomogeneous filter suggested by Vasilyev is adopted. Also, using the optimizing function that estimates test filter width to eliminate the dissipations in the region excluding the vicinity of the wall, the flow patterns are analyzed. It is evaluated in simulations of the turbulent channel flow at Reynolds number of 1020, based on friction velocity and channel half height. Results show that the commutation errors can be significantly reduced by using the inhomogeneous filter and the optimized test filter width.

Performance of a rectangular fin is investigated by a three dimensional analytical method. Heat loss and the temperature obtained from the three dimensional analysis are compared with those calculated from a two dimensional analysis. Fin effectiveness, fin resistance and fin efficiency for the rectangular fin are presented as a function of non-dimensional fin length and fin width. The results are obtained in the following : (1) heat loss calculated from the two dimensional analysis is the same as that obtained from the three dimensional analysis with adiabatic boundary condition in z-direction, (2) heat loss obtained from the two dimensional analysis approaches the value for the three dimensional analysis as the non-dimensional fin width becomes large, (3) fin effectiveness increases as non-dimensional fin length increases and non-dimensional fin width decreases, and vice versa for fin efficiency.

Wave reflection control functions of mound for the foundation of composite and perforated break-waters were investigated through the theoretical considerations. The theory developed is based on a simple summation of components of reflected waves. The applicability of the theory is assured by the comparative studies of the theoretical calculation and experimental data on the sea surface elevation in front of a breakwater. It is found that the reflection is mainly controlled by depth and width of the mound. In the design of composite type perforated breakwaters, the width of perforated part of the upright section can be decreased to less than half of the conventional design width for the same reflection by using the reflection control function of mound part and the reflection can be reduced until less than $30\%$ of that in the composite breakwaters. Using the results, a design method of mounds is proposed, by which the reduction of wave reflection is assured under the given wave conditions.
