Due to the strengthening of domestic and international environmental regulations, the replacement of FRP ships with aluminum ships for small ships is continuously in progress. Domestic aluminum ships are being applied to various types of ships, mainly special ships, passenger ships and fishing ships. Gas metal arc welding(GMAW) is used as a welding method when manufacturing ships using aluminum materials for ships with a thickness of 5mm or more. However, it is carried out manually by the workers in the shipyard, and there is a limit to relying on the skills of the workers. In this study, basic research on high-efficiency tandem welding was performed as a basic study for the application of high-quality automatic welding equipment when working on aluminum ships. In this study, welding deformation according to constraint conditions was comparatively analyzed using tandem welding equipment and cross-sections of welds were evaluated for each experiment.

Most recently, graphene-related composite-modified electrode surfaces are been widely employed to improve surface interactions and electron transfer kinetics. Hydrothermally prepared strontium pyro niobate (SPN) and reduced graphene oxide/ strontium pyro niobate (RGOSPN) nanostructures reveal excellent morphology. X-ray diffraction analysis of SPN and RGOSPN agree with standard data. Thermogravimetry–differential scanning calorimetry analyses show that RGOSPN has higher thermal stability than SPN. In addition, from the polarization–electric field (P–E) loop measurements, the estimated value of remnant polarization (Pr) and coercive electric field (Ec) of SPN are 0.039 μC cm−2 and − 2.90 kV cm−1 and that of RGOSPN nanocomposite are 0.0139 μC cm−2 and − 2.04 kV cm−1. Cyclic voltammetry measurements show that RGOSPN nanocomposite manifests the possibility of electrochemical reversibility beyond long cycles without change in performance. The redox cycle reveal that RGOSPN can be used as part of a composite electrode for hybrid capacitors dynamic conditions. Moreover, the specific capacitance of SPN and RGOSPN was calculated using galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD) technique. The observed energy density of 9.1 W h kg−1 in RGOSPN is higher when compared with previous reported values.

From measured thermal conductivity and modeling by simulation, this study suggests that U-factors are highly related to materials used between steel and polymer. The objective and prospective point of this study are to relate the relationship between the U-factor and the thermal conductivity of the materials used. For the characterization, EDX, SEM, a thermal conductive meter, and computer simulation utility are used to analyze the elemental, surface structural properties, and U-factor with a simulation of the used material between steel and polymer. This study set out to divide the curtain wall system that makes up the envelope into an aluminum frame section and entrance frame section and interpret their thermal performance with U-factors. Based on the U-factor thermal analysis results, the target curtain wall system is divided into fix and vent types. The glass is 24 mm double glazing (6 mm common glass +12 mm Argon +6 mm Low E). The same U-factor of 1.45 W/m2·K is applied. The interpretation results show that the U-factor and total U-value of the aluminum frame section are 1.449 and 2.343 W/m2·K, respectively. Meanwhile, those of the entrance frame section are 1.449 and 2.

Due to stricter environmental regulations of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the number of ships fueled by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is rapidly increasing. The International Code of the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code) limits the material of tanks that can store cryogenic substances such as LNG. Among the materials listed in the IGC Code, ASTM A553M-17 has been recently adopted as a material for LNG fuel tank projects because of its excellent mechanical properties at cryogenic temperatures. In shipyards, this material is being used to build tanks through Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW). However, there is a problem that magnetization occurs during welding and there is a big difference in welding quality depending on the welding position. In order to overcome this problem, this study intends to conduct basic research to apply laser welding to ASTM A553M-17 material. As a result of analyzing the bead shape according to laser BOP speed and Energy density performed in this study, it was confirmed that the penetration and energy density are proportional but the penetration and BOP speed are inverse proportional to some extent. In addition, a range of suitable welding speed and energy density were proposed for the 6.1mm thickness material performed in this study.

구조물을 지진 위험으로부터 완화시키기 위한 마찰면진장치의 상용화된 마찰재료 중 폴리테트라플루오로에틸렌(polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE)은 내화학성과 마찰성능이 우수하다. 그러나 PTFE는 상대적으로 낮은 내마모성을 가지므로 경제적인 마찰재료이며 산화마그네슘(oxide magnesium, MgO)으로 내마모성을 증가시킨 개선된 폴리비닐리덴 플루오라이드(polyvinylidene fluoride, PVDF)를 PTFE 의 대안으로 제안하였다. 개발된 PVDF/MgO 마찰재를 이용하여 실험을 통해 마찰성능을 측정하였으며 PTFE의 마찰성능과 비교하였다. 그리고 측정된 마찰계수를 이용하여 마찰면진장치를 설계하였다. 마찰면진장치의 성능은 교량의 비선형 시간이력 해석을 통해 확인하였고, 이를 통해 마찰면진장치의 마찰재료로 PTFE를 대체하여 PVDF/MgO를 사용하는 것에 대한 타당성을 평가하였다.

Understanding of effects of changes in the particle size of the matrix material on the mullite whisker growth during the production of porous mullite is crucial for better design of new porous ceramics materials in different applications. Commercially, raw materials such as Al2O3/SiO2 and Al(OH)3/SiO2 are used as starting materials, while AlF3 is added to fabricate porous mullite through reaction sintering process. When Al2O3 is used as a starting material, a porous microstructure can be identified, but a more developed needle shaped microstructure is identified in the specimen using Al(OH)3, which has excellent reactivity. The specimen using Al2O3/SiO2 composite powder does not undergo mulliteization even at 1,400 oC, but the specimen using the Al(OH)3/SiO2 composite powder had already formed complete mullite whiskers from the particle size specimen milled for 3 h at 1,100 oC. As a result, the change in sintering temperature does not significantly affect formation of microstructures. As the particle size of the matrix materials, Al2O3 and Al(OH)3, decreases, the porosity tends to decrease. In the case of the Al(OH)3/SiO2 composite powder, the highest porosity obtained is 75% when the particle size passes through a milling time of 3 h. The smaller the particle size of Al(OH)3 is and the more the long/short ratio of the mullite whisker phase decreases, the higher the density becomes.

In this study, by using a system analysis program(Fluid Flow), the correlation between the location where cladding damage occurs frequently inside the power plant seawater pipe and flow characteristics is analyzed, and the root cause and improvement plan are reviewed. As a result, it was confirmed that a high flow velocity occurred in the backwash piping(7.64m/s) and the front and rear ends of the flow control valve(5.93m/s). In addition, it was confirmed that cavitation occurs when the seawater level decreases below the saturated water vapor pressure at the rear end of the orifice. These areas are locations where the internal cladding damage occurs frequently in power plants, and the main cause of damage is considered to be excessive flow velocity and cavitation in the pipe. In order to solve this problem, improvement method such as installation of backwash pipe orifices, change of pipe shape at the front and rear end of flow control valve, and change of orifice type were derived.

전 세계적으로 진행된 급속한 도시화는 조류를 비롯한 야생동물 서식환경에 부정적인 영향을 야기하였다. 도시에 정착한 야생조류는 변화한 주변 환경에 적응하고 있으며, 대표적으로 박새과 조류는 도시주변에서 구하기 쉬운 재료를 이용하여 둥지를 만드는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 도시에 설치된 인공새집을 이용하는 박새과 조류의 둥지 재료를 분석할 목적으로 수행되었다. 연구를 위해 연구진은 충남 천안시에 있는 도시공원(22개)과 산림(11개) 내 총 33개의 인공새집을 설치하였다. 도시공원에서 4개(18.19%), 도시산림에서 5개(45.46%)의 인공새집이 이용되었으며, 둥지를 수거해 둥지 재료를 둥지별, 종별, 도시녹지 유형별로 비교했다. 이소 전 둥지를 포기한 박새 한쌍을 제외한 8개의 둥지가 재료 분석에 활용되었고 수거한 둥지는 건조과정을 거친 후 자연재료(식물성재료, 동물성재료, 이끼, 흙)와 인공재료(솜, 종잇조각, 플라스틱, 비닐 및 합성 섬유)로 분류한 뒤 각각의 무게를 측정하였다. 분류 결과, 모든 둥지에서 이끼(50.65%)의 구성 비율이 높았고 흙(21.43%), 인공재료(13.95%), 식물성재료(5.78%), 동물성재료 (4.57%), 기타(3.59%) 순서로 파악되었다. 도시녹지 내 모든 둥지에서 인공재료가 사용된 특징이 있었다. 또한, 박새는 곤줄박이보다 식물성 재료를 약 5.16% 더 사용했으나 유의한 수준이 아니었다(t=2.17, p=0.07). 도시산림에서는 식물성 재료와 흙을 가장 선호하였으며, 도시공원은 이끼, 동물성, 인공 재료 순으로 이용되었다. 이 중 식물성 재료 사용은 도시공원과 도시산림 간에 유의한 차이를 보였다(t=3.07, p<0.05*). 도시지역과 같이 인공재료에 대한 접근성이 높은 서식환경에서는 일부 자연재료의 역할을 인공재료가 대체하였다. 본 연구는 도시생태계 인공새집 내 둥지 재료 유형을 분석한 기초연구로 박새과 종 보전 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
