By carrying out numerical analyses and model experiments, this paper presents the attenuation characterization of an L(0,2) guided ultrasonic wave propagating in a buried steel pipe. From this investigation, we first find that the L(0,2) mode has a better attenuation property. Second, it is shown from the numerical analyses that the attenuation increases with increases in the soil embedment length (0, 500, 1000, and 1500 mm) and degrees of saturation (0, 50, 99, and 100%). Third, it is also shown from the model experiment that the attenuation increases as the embedment lengths and soil moisture quantities (0, 10, 20, and 30 kg) increase. Finally, we find that an exponential extrapolation gives a better attenuation prediction because the extrapolation gives similar attenuation patterns between the numerical and experimental results.

Whenever the large-capacitor and high-voltage pump motor is opened and closed, the power factor improvement condenser and the low-voltage equipment are often damaged by the sparking and the on-off power serge. In order to find the reason and resolve the problem, we have installed a transition wave recorder for obtaining the transient on-off power serge wave and a power disturbance analyzer for long-time monitoring. In this way we measured and analysed the condition of the high-voltage pump motor whenever it is opened and closed.

In this paper centrifuge model tests and numerical analysis on the coastal structure on the marine deposits of sand were performed to investigate the behavior of structure and foundation under the condition of wave action in field. In centrifuge model experiments, construction sequence of coastal structure such as preparation of sand deposit, excavation replacement, rubble mound with crushed stones and installment of coastal structure was reconstructed and the behavior of ground settlement during stage of construction was observed during tests. For the final stage of simulating the horizontal movement of coastal structure due to wave force, horizontal load was applied by horizontal loading apparatus being specially designed so that horizontal displacement of structure could be observed. Numerical analysis were also carried out and its results were compared with test results to assess the property of centrifuge mode experiments with respect to the behavior of structure as well as ground.

In PWM inverter fed traction motor drive systems, the switching frequency is restricted and thus the electromagnetic acoustic noise is generated. To reduce such an audible noise, we propose the modified RSF(Randomized Switching Frequency)-PWM method. In the proposed RSF-PWM method, both triangular wave and sawtooth wave are used in one period as carrier waves. Because the proposed method has inherently the same property as sinusoidal PWM method, there is no problem of linearity. To verify the validity of the modified RSF-PWM method, computer simulations are carried out.

Rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) with a simplified eigenvalue problem is used to investigate the an-tireflective property of one-dimensional surface-relief gratings such as binary gratings, triangular gratings and gratings with triangle-like surface profiles. The convergence of RCWA is investigated by varying the number of layers and the number of space-harmonics used in the computation. For unpolarized light normally incident on a medium of refractive index 1.64 from vaccum, a triangle-like grating shows the reflectivity of $1.6 {\times} 10^{-4}$ in contrast to a minimum reflectivity of $3.8 {\times} 10^{-3}$ for a binary grating. We also study the dependence of reflectivity on the wavelength, and on the angle of incidence for a groove shape and depth which result in minimum reflectivity.

To obtain low resistance and high efficiency energy-saving ship, minimum total resistance hull form design method is studied based on potential flow theory of wave-making resistance and considering the effects of tail viscous separation. With the sum of wave resistance and viscous resistance as objective functions and the parameters of B-Spline function as design variables, mathematical models are built using Nonlinear Programming Method (NLP) ensuring the basic limit of displacement and considering rear viscous separation. We develop ship lines optimization procedures with intellectual property rights. Series60 is used as parent ship in optimization design to obtain improved ship (Series60-1) theoretically. Then drag tests for the improved ship (Series60-1) is made to get the actual minimum total resistance hull form.

For the analysis of radiating noise problems in medium-to-high frequency ranges, the Energy Flow Boundary Element Method (EFBEM) was developed. EFBEM is the analysis technique that applies the Boundary Element Method (BEM) to Energy Flow Analysis (EFA). The fundamental solutions representing spherical wave property for radiating noise problems in open field and considering the free surface effect in underwater are developed. Also the directivity factor is developed to express wave's directivity patterns in medium-to-high frequency ranges. Indirect EFBEM by using fundamental solutions and fictitious source was applied to open field and underwater noise problems successfully. Through numerical applications, the acoustic energy density distributions due to vibration of a simple plate model and a sphere model were compared with those of commercial code, and the comparison showed good agreement in the level and pattern of the energy density distributions.

Linearity is an important property of optical devices for analog communications. In this paper, we study the 3rd-order interrnodulation distortion (IMD3) of an Inp/InGaAsP multiple-quantum-well (MQW) traveling-wave type electroabsorption modulator (TW-EAM). We observe abnormal notches in the IMD3 results those were different from notches by general transfer curve of electroabsorption modulators (EAMs). We analyze the phenomena through absorption coefficients according to wavelengths and bias voltages to verify appearance of the abnormal notchs, where it can be known to result from Stark-shift and broadening. We propose the method to enhance linearity of MQW-EAMs by using these effects.

Surface Acoustic Wave(SAW) devices can be used to as wireless sensor elements, called SAW transponders, for measuring shysical quantities such as temperature that do not need any power supply and may be accessed wirelessly. SAW devices were fabricated on Y-Z $LiNbO_3$ piezoelectric substrate with a good temperature coefficient property. The signal response of SAW sensor on the temperature change were compared. To measure the change of SAW velocity. Temperature changed form $20^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$ was linearly changed, the SAW sensor is application to the temperature sensor.

Recently, researches for high-speed optical devices have been increased to provide mass data transmission and high-speed optical communication. Optical modulator in the transmission link is one of the crucial devices in total optical network system and it can affect a great effect to the whole transmission properties. In this paper, traveling wave electro-absorption modulator (TWEAM) is examined to ensure high efficiency in the RF range and wide bandwidth. In addition, the temperature-dependence electrical characteristics of TWEAM is investigated. Temperature dependent property variations were characterized using I-V and C-V measurement.
