Positive plate was composed of lead hydroxide via reaction between lead oxide and H2O and lead sulfate was formed of the reaction of lead hydroxide with sulfuric acid. And its density is 3.8 g/cm3, 4.0 g/cm3, 4.2 g/cm3 and 4.4 g/cm3 by controlling volume of refined water. Curing of positive plate is done for low (45℃, 40hr, over 95% of relative humidity) & high (80℃, 40hr, over 95% of relative humidity) temperature, which created 3BS & 4BS active materials. Experimental result of DOD with 100% life cycle test shows that it was not related to the density of active materials but to the low & high temperature aging of active materials. The test makes us to understand that the crystallization which is made by curing of active materials is a more of a main factor than density of active materials under the deep cycle using circumstances. The active materials which were from the high temperature curing are better for deep cycle performance.

Rubber laminated bearings with lead core are highly affected by changes in temperature because key materials which are rubber and lead have temperature dependencies. In this study, two full scale LRB(D800, S=5) are manufactured and temperature dependency tests on shear properties are accomplished. The shear properties at the 3rd cycle are used at -10℃, 0℃, 10℃,20℃, 30℃, 40℃ respectively. The double shear configuration, simultaneously testing two pieces, is applied for compression shear test in order to minimize the friction effects due to the test machine, described in ISO 22762-1:2010. Characteristic strength, post-yield stiffness, effective stiffness, equivalent damping ratio are estimated and presented coefficient due to the temperature changes.

본 연구는 말똥성게(Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus)의 생식세포 및 pluteus 유생을 이용하여 중금속인 납(lead, Pb)과 아연(zinc, Zn)의 독성을 조사였다. H. pulcherrimus 배우자 및 배아에 미치는 Pb과 Zn의 독성은 각각 31, 63, 125, 250, 500 ppb 및 16, 31, 63, 125, 250 ppb의 농도에서 조사하였다. 0.5 M KCl 용액을 이용하여 방란 및 방정을 유도하였고, 수정률 및 정상 배아발생률의 조사는 수정 후 각각 10분 및 64시간째 관찰하여 시행하였다. Pb 노출 시 수정률은 대조군과 비교하여 유의적인 변화가 없었다. 그러나 정상 배아발생률은 농도가 높을수록 농도의존적으로 유의적인 감소를 보였다. Zn을 노출시켰을 경우 수정률과 정상 배아발생률은 농도가 높을 수록 농도의존적인 유의적 감소를 나타냈다. H. pulcherrimus의 정상 배아 발생에 대한 독성치는 각각 Pb (반수영향농도 (EC50) 45.13 ppb, 95% Cl 40.12~50.05 ppb), Zn (반수영향농도(EC50) 19.82 ppb, 95% Cl 18.26~21.31 ppb)로 나타났다. 또한 Pb과 Zn의 무영향농도(NOEC)는 각각 ⁄31.25 ppb 및 ⁄15.63 ppb로 나타났고, 최소영향농도(LOEC)는 31.25 및 15.63 ppb로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과, H. pulcherrimus의 초기 배아발생 과정은 Pb과 Zn 등의 중금속에 높은 민감성을 보인다. 따라서 H. pulcherrimus는 해양생태계 위해 평가를 위한 시험생물로서 사용이 가능하다고 사료된다.

The test results indicated that the VE-TMD improved seismic performance by 40 % in displacement responses for all of frequency-domain.

The influence of red lead(Pb3O4) to curing and formation reaction properties when it was added in positive material of lead acid battery for vehicle use has been investigated. At the results, it was confirmed that the addition of red lead led 4BS crystal size to be smaller and increased the rates of 4BS formation and Pb consumption. Consequently the curing time was shortened to half compared with that of red lead-free one. In addition to this, the lead acid battery prepared by adding red lead showed 14% higher efficiency at the life cycle test than that without red lead.
