In this article, the buckling and free vibration of multi-directional FGM sandwich plates are investigated. The material properties of FGM sandwich plates are assumed to be varying continuously in the in the longitudinal, transverse and thickness directions. The material properties are evaluated based on Voigt's micro-mechanical model considering power law distribution method with arbitrary power index. Equations of motion for the buckling and vibration analysis of multi-directional FGM sandwich plate are obtained based on refined shear deformation theory. Analytical solution for simply supported multidirectional FGM sandwich plate is carried out using Navier's solution technique. The FGM sandwich plate considered in this work has a homogeneous ceramic core and two functionally graded face sheets. Influence of volume fraction index in the longitudinal, transverse and thickness direction, layer thickness, and geometrical parameter over natural frequency and critical buckling load of multi-directional FGM sandwich plate is investigated. The finding shows a multi-directional functionally graded structures perform better compared to uni-directional gradation. Hence, critical grading parameters have been identified which will guide researchers in selecting fabrication routes for improving the performance of such structures.

In this study, transmission and reflection of multi-directional random waves propagating over multi-arrayed submerged breakwaters are investigated using eigenfunction expansion method. The numerical analysis on the wave energy reflection of submerged breakwaters with various crown widths is carried out. Strong wave reflection is occurred at the Bragg reflection condition of the peak frequency. When relative heights and crown widths of breakwaters are equal to 0.6 and 0.4h, respectively, more than 25% of wave energy is reflected to off shore.

The natural sloshing frequencies of annular cylindrical TLD are parametrically investigated by experiment, aiming at the exploration of its successful use for suppressing the structural vibration of spar-type floating wind turbine subject to multidirectional wind, wave and current excitations. Five prototypes of annular cylindrical TLD are defined according to the inner and outer radii of acryl container, and eight different liquid fill heights are experimented for each TLD prototype. The apparent masses near the first and second natural sloshing frequencies are parametrically investigated by measuring the apparent mass of interior liquid sloshing to the acceleration excitation. It is observed from the parametric experiments that the first natural sloshing frequency shows the remarkable change with respect to the liquid fill height for each TLD model with different container dimensions. On the other hand, the second natural sloshing frequency is not sensitive to the liquid fill height but to the gap size, for all the TLD models, convincing that the annular cylindrical sloshing damper can effectively suppress the wave- and wind-induced tilting motion of the spar-type floating wind turbine.

본 논문에서는 기생 소자의 커플링 현상을 이용하여 다중 대역 특성을 나타내기 위한 평면형 모노폴 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제안된 안테나는 단일 공진이 발생하는 사각 패치를 기본으로 다중 대역 특성을 얻기 위해 기생 소자를 삽입하였다. 기생 소자는 안테나 크기의 소형화와 다중 공진 특성을 나타내기 위해 스파이럴 구조를 사용하였으며, 각각의 설계 파라미터들을 이용하여 주파수 특성을 최적화 시켰다. 또한, via-hole을 통해 접지면에 연결된 L자 형태의 공진기를 급전선 양쪽에 삽입함으로써 서비스 대역 이외에 사용되지 않는 주파수 대역을 차단하였다. 사용된 기판은 크기가 $40{\times}60{\times}1mm^3$이고, 비유전율 4.4인 FR-4 기판 위에 설계되었으며, 급전은 임피던스 $50{\Omega}$의 마이크로스트립 선로를 사용하였다. 측정 결과, 1.714~2.496 GHz, 2.977~4.301 GHz, 4.721~6.315 GHz 대역에서 -10 dB 이하의 반사 손실 특성을 나타냈으며, 전방향의 방사 패턴을 나타냈다.
