In this paper, compact linear dual polarized series-fed $1{\times}2$ linear and $2{\times}2$ planar arrays antennas for airborne SAR applications are proposed. The proposed antenna design consists of a square radiating patch that is placed on top of the substrate, a quarter wave transformer and $50-{\Omega}$ matched transformer. Matching between a radiating patch and the $50-{\Omega}$ microstrip line is accomplished through a direct coupled-feed technique with the help of an impedance inverter (${\lambda}/4$ impedance transformer) placed at both horizontal and vertical planes, in the case of the $2{\times}2$ planar array. The overall size for the prototype-1 and prototype-2 fabricated antennas are $1.9305{\times}0.9652{\times}0.05106{{\lambda}_0}^3$ and $1.9305{\times}1.9305{\times}0.05106{{\lambda}_0}^3$, respectively. The fabricated structure has been tested, and the experimental results are similar to the simulated ones. The CST MWS simulated and vector network analyzer measured reflection coefficient ($S_{11}$) results were compared, and they indicate that the proposed antenna prototype-1 yields the impedance bandwidth >140 MHz (9.56-9.72 GHz) defined by $S_{11}$<-10 dB with 1.43%, and $S_{21}$<-25 dB in the case of prototype-2 (9.58-9.74 GHz, $S_{11}$< -10 dB) >140 MHz for all the individual ports. The surface currents and the E- and H-field distributions were studied for a better understanding of the polarization mechanism. The measured results of the proposed dual polarized antenna were in accordance with the simulated analysis and showed good performance of the S-parameters and radiation patterns (co-pol and cross-pol), gain, efficiency, front-to-back ratio, half-power beam width) at the resonant frequency. With these features and its compact size, the proposed antenna will be suitable for X-band airborne synthetic aperture radar applications.

A inclined slot-excited plasma source is newly designed and constructed for higher flux HNB(Hyperthermal Neutral Beam) generation. The present source is different from the vertical SLAN(SLot ANtenna) sources [1] in two aspects. One is that the slots are inclined, and the other is that the magnetic field is configured to a cusp type. These modifications are intended to make the source plasma operated in sub-milli-torr pressure regime and as thin as possible, both of which is to get higher HNB flux by decreasing the re-ionization rate of the reflected atoms from the neutralizer [2]. The plasma is generated in a quartz tube of internal diameter 170 mm enclosed in a aluminum application chamber of larger diameter 250 mm. The microwave power is fed to the plasma chamber by 8 inclined slots cut into the application chamber wall. The slots are coupled the chamber to a WR280 waveguide wound around it to form a ring resonator. In order to make two slots $\lambda_g/2$ apart in phase, the adjacent slots are rotated in opposite directions. The rotation angle of the slots are set to $60^{\circ}$ from the chamber axis. Between the quartz chamber and the aluminum cylindrical chamber 8 NdFeB magnets are equally spaced and fixed to form the cusp magnetic field confinement and ECR (Electron Cyclotron Resonance) field. In this presentation, the magnetic and electromagnetic simulations, and the measured plasma parameters are given for both the inclined and the vertical slot-excited plasma sources. We also discuss how the sources can be tailored to suit better-performing HNB sources.

본 논문에서는 Eulerian 좌표축에서 온도 경계층과 혼합된 비정상 경계층 유 동을 효과적으로 다룰 수 있는 좌표변환 방법과 수치해석 방법을 도입하였다. 이전 의 수치적 방법들은 축차적이며, 뒷정체점 부근의 경계층 두께가 시간과 더불어 지수 적으로 증가하므로, 격자점의 수를 경계층 두께의 증가에 따라 상당히 늘려 주어야 된 다. 그러나 여기에서는, 격자점의 수를 무리하게 늘릴 필요가 없으며 일반적인 비선 형 차분방정식을 정확도를 떨어뜨리지 않고 선형화시킴으로써 비축차적인 수치해들이 허용된다. 이런 선형화 방법은 Beam & Warming에 의해 최초로 압축성 Navier-Stokes 방정식에 사용되었고, Orlandi & Ferziger, Kim & Chang에 의해 경계층 유동에 확장되 었다.또한 뒷정체점 부근에서 경계층 두께의 증가로 인한, 격자점 증가의 필요를 피하기 위하여, 몇 가지 서로 다른 종류의 변환변수들을 시간과 공간에 따라 선별적으 로 사용하여 수치적인 경계층 두께가 거의 일정하도록 만들었다. 이와 같은 변환변 수들은 또한 쌍-포물선형인 현 지배방정식의 초기조건들을 쉽게 구할 수 있도록 허용 해 준다.

Creation of plastic deformation under seismic loads, is one of the most serious subjects in RC structures with steel bars which reduces the life threatening risks and increases dissipation of energy. Shape memory alloy (SMA) is one of the best choice for the relocating plastic hinges. In a challenge to study the seismic response of concrete moment resisting frame (MRF), this article investigates numerically a new type of concrete frames with nano fiber reinforced polymer (NFRP) and shape memory alloy (SMA) hinges, simultaneously. The NFRP layer is containing carbon nanofibers with agglomeration based on Mori-Tanaka model. The tangential shear deformation (TASDT) is applied for modelling of the structure and the continuity boundary conditions are used for coupling of the motion equations. In SMA connections between beam and columns, since there is phase transformation, hence, the motion equations of the structure are coupled with kinetic equations of phase transformation. The Hernandez-Lagoudas theory is applied for demonstrating of pseudoelastic characteristics of SMA. The corresponding motion equations are solved by differential cubature (DC) and Newmark methods in order to obtain the peak ground acceleration (PGA) and residual drift ratio for MRF-2%. The main impact of this paper is to present the influences of the volume percent and agglomeration of nanofibers, thickness and length of the concrete frame, SMA material and NFRP layer on the PGA and drift ratio. The numerical results revealed that the with increasing the volume percent of nanofibers, the PGA is enhanced and the residual drift ratio is reduced. It is also worth to mention that PGA of concrete frame with NFRP layer containing 2% nanofibers is approximately equal to the concrete frame with steel bars.

This paper presents an analytical approach to calculate the buckling load of the cylindrical ring structures subjected to both hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures. Based on the conservative law of energy and Timoshenko beam theory, a theoretical formula, which can be used to evaluate the critical pressure of buckling, is first derived for the simplified cylindrical ring structures. It is assumed that the hydrodynamic pressure can be treated as an equivalent hydrostatic pressure as a cosine function along the perimeter while the thickness ratio is limited to 0.2. Note that this paper limits the deformed shape of the cylindrical ring structures to an elliptical shape. The proposed analytical solutions are then compared with the numerical simulations. The critical pressure is evaluated in this study considering two possible failure modes: ultimate failure and buckling failure. The results show that the proposed analytical solutions can correctly predict the critical pressure for both failure modes. However, it is not recommended to be used when the hydrostatic pressure is low or medium (less than 80% of the critical pressure) as the analytical solutions underestimate the critical pressure especially when the ultimate failure mode occurs. This implies that the proposed solutions can still be used properly when the subsea vehicles are located in the deep parts of the ocean where the hydrostatic pressure is high. The finding will further help improve the geometric design of subsea vehicles against both hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures to enhance its strength and stability when it moves underwater. It will also help to control the speed of the subsea vehicles especially they move close to the sea bottom to prevent a catastrophic failure.

광학측정기법 중 주파수 스캐닝 간섭계는 기존 3차원 측정기법과 비교하여 광학 하드웨어 구조가 측정과정동안 고정되어 있어, 대물렌즈나 대상물체의 수직 스캐닝 없이 단지 광원의 주파수만 특정한 주파수 밴드내에서 스캐닝 하여 대상물체에 주사되므로, 우수한 광학 측정 성능을 보인다. 광원의 주파수를 변경하여 간섭계를 통해 간섭 영상을 획득한 후, 밝기 영상 데이터를 주파수 영역 데이터로 변환하고, 고속 푸리에 변환을 통한 주파수 분석을 이용하여 대상 물체의 높이 정보를 계측한다. 하지만, 대상물체의 광학적 특성에 기인한 광학노이즈와 주파수 스캐닝동안 획득되는 영상의 수에 따라 증가하는 영상처리시간은 여전히 주파수 스캐닝 간섭계의 문제이다. 이를 위해, 1) 편광기반 주파수 스캐닝 간섭계가 광학 노이즈에 대한 강인성을 확보하기 위해 제안되어진다. 시스템은 주파수 변조 레이저, 참조 거울 앞단의 ${\lambda}/4$ 판, 대상 물체 앞단의 ${\lambda}/4$ 판, 편광 광분배기, 이미지 센서 앞단의 편광기, 광섬유 광원 앞단의 편광기, 편광 광분배기와 광원의 편광기 사이에 위치하는 ${\lambda}/2$ 판으로 구성된다. 제안된 시스템을 이용하여, 편광을 기반으로한 간섭이미지의 대조대비를 조절할 수 있다. 2) 신호처리 고속화 방법이 간섭계 시스템을 위해 제안되며, 이는 그래픽 처리 유닛(GPU)과 같은 병렬처리 하드웨어와 계산 통합 기기 구조(CUDA)와 같은 프로그래밍 언어로 구현된다. 제안된 방법을 통해 신호처리 시간은 실시간 처리가 가능한 작업시간을 얻을 수 있었다. 최종적으로 다양한 실험을 통해 제안된 시스템을 정확도와 신호처리 시간의 관점으로 평가하였고, 실험결과를 통해 제안한 시스템이 광학측정기법의 실적용을 위해 효율적임을 보였다.

비파괴 시험을 위한 3차원 구조의 초음파 영상에는 다양한 결함을 명백하게 보여줄 수 있을 만큼 상세하고 쉽게 알아볼 수 있는 정보가 제공되어야 한다. 수년 동안 원자력 발전소에서 사용된 금속관에 발견되는 소규모의 균열은 전형적인 결함들인데, 이러한 밀리미터 이하의 균열이나 결함은 최종 3차원 영상에서 묘사되어야만 의미 있는 검사가 될 것이다. 향상된 선명도와 그에 따른 결함의 발견 과정의 한 단계로써, 펄스에코(pulse-echo) 초음파를 사용한 3차원 영상제작 기술을 제안한다. 이 기술은 필요한 스캐닝과 펄스에코 데이터의 처리과정을 통한 검사로 3차원 물체의 3차원 영상을 생성하는데, 2차원 위너필터(Wiener fille.)에 의해 초음파 빔을 선명하게 하는 기술을 포함한다. 제안하는 위너필터는 빔의 전달에서 펄스에코 데이터를 초음파 빔 방향의 수직방향에 따라 필터링한다. 이 3차원 처리과정은 결함의 선명성을 증진시키고 사용자에게 3차원 구조물의 좌우 회전 및 축 회전과 같은 조작 능력을 제공한다. 이러한 조작 능력은 3차원에서 다양한 결함들의 크기와 위치의 분명한 묘사를 가능하게 한다.

AlSb is a promising material for optical devices, particularly for high-frequency and nonlinear-optical applications. And AlSb offers significant potential for devices such as quantum-well lasers, laser diodes, and heterojunction bipolar transistors. In this work we study molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of an unstrained AISb film on a GaAs substrate and identify the real-time monitoring capabilities of in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). The samples were fabricated on semi-insulating (0 0 1) GaAs substrates using MBE system. A rotating sample stage ensured uniform film growth. The substrate was first heated to $620^{\circ}C$ under As2 to remove surface oxides. A GaAs buffer layer approximately 200 nm- thick was then grown at $580^{\circ}C$. During the temperature changing process from $580^{\circ}C$ to $530^{\circ}C$, As2 flux is maintained with the shutter for Ga being closed and the reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) pattern remaining at ($2{\times}4$). Upon reaching the preset temperature of $530^{\circ}C$, As shutter was promptly closed with Sb shutter open, resulting in the change of RHEED pattern from ($2{\times}4$) to ($1{\times}3$). This was followed by the growth of AlSb while using a rotating-compensator SE with a charge-coupled-device (CCD) detector to obtain real-time SE spectra from 0.74 to 6.48 eV. Fig. 1 shows the real time measured SE spectra of AlSb on GaAs in growth process. In the Fig. 1 (a), a change of ellipsometric parameter ${\Delta}$ is observed. The ${\Delta}$ is the parameter which contains thickness information of the sample, and it changes in a periodic from 0 to 180o with growth. The significant change of ${\Delta}$ at~0.4 min means that the growth of AlSb on GaAs has been started. Fig. 1b shows the changes of dielectric function with time over the range 0.74~6.48 eV. These changes mean phase transition from pseudodielectric function of GaAs to AlSb at~0.44 min. Fig. 2 shows the observed RHEED patterns in the growth process. The observed RHEED pattern of GaAs is ($2{\times}4$), and the pattern changes into ($1{\times}3$) with starting the growth of AlSb. This means that the RHEED pattern is in agreement with the result of SE measurements. These data show the importance and sensitivity of SE for real-time monitoring for materials growth by MBE. We performed the real-time monitoring of AlSb growth by using SE measurements, and it is good agreement with the results of RHEED pattern. This fact proves the importance and the sensitivity of SE technique for the real-time monitoring of film growth by using ellipsometry. We believe that these results will be useful in a number of contexts including more accurate optical properties for high speed device engineering.

This paper presents a numerical study on the rotordynamic analysis of a dual-spool turbofan engine in the context of blade defect events. The blades of an axial-type aeroengine are typically well aligned during the compressor and turbine stages. However, they are sometimes exposed to damage, partially or entirely, for several operational reasons, such as cracks due to foreign objects, burns from the combustion gas, and corrosion due to oxygen in the air. Herein, we designed a dual-spool rotor using the commercial 3D modeling software CATIA to simulate blade defects in the turbofan engine. We utilized the rotordynamic parameters to create two finite element Euler-Bernoulli beam models connected by means of an inter-rotor bearing. We then applied the unbalanced forces induced by the mass eccentricities of the blades to the following selected scenarios: 1) fully balanced, 2) crack in the low-pressure compressor (LPC) and high pressure compressor (HPC), 3) burn on the high-pressure turbine (HPT) and low pressure compressor, 4) corrosion of the LPC, and 5) corrosion of the HPC. Additionally, we obtained the transient and steady-state responses of the overall rotor nodes using the Runge-Kutta numerical integration method, and employed model reduction techniques such as component mode synthesis to enhance the computational efficiency of the process. The simulation results indicate that the high-vibration status of the rotor commences beyond 10,000 rpm, which is identified as the first critical speed of the lower speed rotor. Moreover, we monitored the unbalanced stages near the inter-rotor bearing, which prominently influences the overall rotordynamic status, and the corrosion of the HPC to prevent further instability. The high-speed range operation (>13,000 rpm) coupled with HPC/HPT blade defects possibly presents a rotor-case contact problem that can lead to catastrophic failure.
