Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)는 섬유와 폴리머가 결합된 복합재료로써 중량 대비 강도가 높아 취급 및 운반이 용이할 뿐 아니라 인장강도 등의 역학 성능이 우수한 재료이다. 더욱이, FRP는 뛰어 난 내부식성에 의해 기존 철근과 달리 부식이 발생하지 않는 장점이 있다. 이 장점에 의해 FRP를 기 존 철근대체재로 활용하기 위한 다양한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 그러나 FRP는 탄소성 거동을 하는 철 근과 달리 완전탄성거동을 하는 취성적 재료로써 안전성 문제에 의해 철근대체재로의 사용은 한계가 명확한 실정이다. 최근 FRP의 취성파괴 문제를 해결하기 위해 연속섬유가 사용된 FRP가 아닌 단섬유 를 사용후 Stitched를 이용하여 파괴시 응력을 재분배하여 FRP의 단계적 파괴를 유도하기 위한 연구 가 국방, 항공 분야를 중심으로 연구되고 있으나, 이를 건설분야에 적용하기 위한 연구는 극히 제한적 으로 수행되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 의사소성이 확보된 FRP를 철근대체재로 사용하기 위한 기초 연구로써 Stitched된 단섬유 FRP 보강재의 단계적 파괴여부를 실험적으로 확인하였다. 실험변수로써 Stitched 여부가 고려되었으며, 직접인장시험을 통해 FRP 보강재의 인장거동이 확인되었다. 실험결과 Stitched되지 않은 FRP 시편은 최대응력 도달 후 취성적으로 파괴되었다. 반면 Stitched된 FRP 시편은 최대 강도 도달 후 최대 강도 대비 66%~75%의 응력이 약 0.0071ε 구간동안 유지되는 것으로 나타 났다.

The purpose of this study is to review the available literature on the effectiveness of fibers in preventing early-age shrinkage cracking on cementitious concrete. The overview describes the widely used ASTM C1579 (Standard Test Method for Evaluating Plastic Shrinkage Cracking of Restrained Fiber Reinforced Concrete (Using a Steel Form Insert) for plastic shrinkage cracking. The past literature used crack length, width, or area to describe and quantify cracks on concrete specimens. To keep things simple, this review expresses the length, width or area as a percentage of the control specimen. Finally, the study establishes a relationship between fiber volume and aspect ratio on plastic shrinkage and compressive strength of concrete. It was concluded that fiber is sufficient enough to mitigate plastic shrinkage cracking. An increase in fiber volume and aspect ratio reduces the early-age cracking of concrete but harm its compressive strength.

The sintering shrinkage behaviors of low temperature cofired ceramics (LTCC) and resistors were compared using commercial LTCC and thick-film resistor pastes, and factors influencing the camber of cofired resistor/LTCC bi-layers were also investigated. The onset of sintering shrinkage of the resistor occurred earlier than that of LTCC in all resistors, but the end of sintering shrinkage of the resistor occurred earlier or later than that of LTCC depending on the composition of the resistor. The sintering shrinkage end temperature and the sintering shrinkage temperature interval of the resistor increased as the RuO2/glass volume ratio of the resistor increased. The camber of cofired resistor/LTCC bi-layers was obtained using three different methods, all of which showed nearly identical trends. The camber of cofired resistor/LTCC bi-layers was not affected by either the difference in linear shrinkage strain after sintering between LTCC and resistors or the similarity of sintering shrinkage temperature ranges of LTCC and resistors. However, it was strongly affected by the RuO2/glass volume ratio of the resistor. The content of Ag and Pd had no effect on the sintering shrinkage end temperature or sintering shrinkage temperature interval of the resistor, or on the camber of cofired resistor/LTCC bi-layers.

A fixed-point iteration is proposed to integrate the stress and state variables in the incremental analysis of plastic deformation. The Conventional Newton–Raphson method requires a second-order derivative of the yield function to generate a complicated code, and the convergence cannot be guaranteed beforehand. The proposed fixed-point iteration does not require a second-order derivative of the yield function, and convergence is ensured for a given strain increment. The fixed-point iteration is easier to implement, and the computational time is shortened compared with the Newton–Raphson method. The plane-stress condition is considered for the biaxial loading conditions to confirm the convergence of the fixed-point iteration. 3-dimensional tensile specimen is considered to compare the computational times in the ABAQUS/explicit finite element analysis.

Malignant melanoma is a highly malignant tumor derived from melanocyte. Malignant melanoma of the oral cavity occurs mainly in the palatine mucosa and the maxillary gingiva in men in their 50s. Malignant melanoma can be divided into pigmented and non-pigmented(amelanotic). Among them, non-pigmented malignant melanoma accounts for 2-8% of all malignant melanomas. Pigmented malignant melanoma is detected through changes in pigmentation, whereas non-pigmented malignant melanoma is characterized by no pattern of color change. In this study, at the initial visit, a malignant lesion was suspected and a biopsy was performed. According to the biopsy results, it was diagnosed as polymorphic sarcoma, but the histological examination performed during the operation revealed that it was amelanotic melanoma. As such, the differential diagnosis is important because there is no clinical change in non-pigmented malignant melanoma. Diseases to be differentially diagnosed when non-pigmented malignant melanoma occurs in the oral cavity include squamous cell carcinoma, lymphoma, sarcoma, inflammation, and osteomyelitis. In this study, we report a case that showed the histopathological characteristics of malignant melanoma without superficial pigmentation.

The plastic deformation behavior of additively manufactured anisotropic structures are analyzed using the finite element method (FEM). Hill’s quadratic anisotropic yield function is used, and a modified return-mapping method based on dual potential is presented. The plane stress biaxial loading condition is considered to investigate the number of iterations required for the convergence of the Newton-Raphson method during plastic deformation analysis. In this study, incompressible plastic deformation is considered, and the associated flow rule is assumed. The modified returnmapping method is implemented using the ABAQUS UMAT subroutine and effective in reducing the number of iterations in the Newton-Raphson method. The anisotropic tensile behavior is computed using the 3-dimensional FEM for two tensile specimens manufactured along orthogonal additive directions.

PURPOSES : Rut depth of asphalt pavements is a major factor that affects the maintenance of pavements as well as the safety of drivers. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors influencing rut depth, using data collected periodically on national highways by the pavement management system and, consequently, predict annual rut depth change, to contribute to improved asphalt pavement management. METHODS : The factors expected to influence rut depth were determined by reviewing relevant literature, and collecting the related data. Further, the correlations between the annual rut depth change and the influencing factors were analyzed. Subsequently, the annual rut depth change model was developed by performing regression analysis using age, present rut depth, and annual average maximum temperature as independent variables. RESULTS : From the sensitivity analysis of the developed model, it was found that age affected the annual rut depth change the most. Additionally, the relationship between the dependent and independent variables was statistically significant. The model developed in this study could reasonably predict the change in the rut depth of the national highway asphalt pavements. CONCLUSIONS : In summary, it was verified that the model developed in this study could be used to predict the change in the National Highway Pavement Condition Index (NHPCI), which represents comprehensive conditions of national highway pavements. Development of other models that predict changes in surface distress as well as international roughness index is required to predict the change in NHPCI, as they are the independent variables of the NHPCI prediction model.

The effect of sintering conditions on the austenite stability and strain-induced martensitic transformation of nanocrystalline FeCrC alloy is investigated. Nanocrystalline FeCrC alloys are successfully fabricated by spark plasma sintering with an extremely short densification time to obtain the theoretical density value and prevent grain growth. The nanocrystallite size in the sintered alloys contributes to increased austenite stability. The phase fraction of the FeCrC sintered alloy before and after deformation according to the sintering holding time is measured using X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction analysis. During compressive deformation, the volume fraction of strain-induced martensite resulting from austenite decomposition is increased. The transformation kinetics of the strain-induced martensite is evaluated using an empirical equation considering the austenite stability factor. The hardness of the S0W and S10W samples increase to 62.4-67.5 and 58.9-63.4 HRC before and after deformation. The hardness results confirmed that the mechanical properties are improved owing to the effects of grain refinement and strain-induced martensitic transformation in the nanocrystalline FeCrC alloy.

Thermal external cracks can be initiated at the parting line, which is the dividing line that splits the core and cavity halves of a molded exhaust manifold-turbine housing. The fatigue cracks are often resulted from hot-cold cycle loads called by thermal shock cycles, and are accompanied by large plastic strains. This paper investigated the effects of parting lines of the integrated exhaust manifold-turbine housing and compared the magnitude of plastic strains directly correlated to low cycle fatigue damages or cracks. The finite element results showed that the plastic strains at runner junctions including parting line was calculated by 0.68%, which is approximately 60% higher than that of the turbine housing considering no parting line. So, if the analysis target is less than 0.50 % of plastic strain amplitude, the fatigue damages or cracks could be expected by considering the parting lines in integrated exhaust manifold-turbocharger.

굴 패각을 입경(0 ~ 1, 1 ~ 2, 2 ~ 5 mm) 및 소성온도(400(P400), 500(P500), 600(P600), 800(P800)℃)별로 전처리 한 후, 퇴적물과 혼합 된 실내실험을 통해 퇴적물의 성상변화를 조사하였다. 굴 패각의 주요 성분인 CaCO3는 700℃ 이상의 소성 온도에서 열분해 되어 CaO로 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. P800의 Ca2+ 농도는 약 790 mg/L로 대조구 및 다른 실험구들에 비해 약 2 ~ 3배 높게 나타나 고온 소성 된 굴 패각일수록 용출되는 Ca2+는 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 600℃ 이상의 온도에서 소성된 굴 패각에서는 CaCO3의 열분해로 형성된 CaO의 가수분해를 통해 간극수 내의 pH가 0.1 ~ 0.5 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 간극수 내의 NH3-N은 대조구보다 약 2.2 ~ 7.6 mg/L의 범위로 증가하였으며, 이는 가수분해 과정에서 발생한 열, Ca2+에 의한 미생물 활동 억제, 소성 과정에서 증가한 굴 패각 공극을 통한 산소 공급 등이 복합적으로 작용한 결과로 판단된다. P600 및 P800의 직상수 및 간극수 내의 PO4-P 농도는 대조구보다 약 0.1 ~ 0.2 mg/L 낮게 나타났으며 이는 소성 굴 패각으로 인한 pH 증가 및 PO4-P와의 화학적 반응으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과를 통해 소성 온도에 따라 굴 패각은 퇴적물 내의 NH3-N 및 PO4-P의 농도변화에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었으나, 입경에 의한 영향은 크지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 소성 굴 패각을 낮은 오염도의 연안 저서환경을 개선시키기 위한 기초자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것을 판단된다.

In this study, the deformation of friction stir welding on the aluminum battery housing material(AL6063-T5) applied to the electric vehicle was effectively predicted through experiments and numerical simulations. The temperature data were measured during the friction stir welding experiment, and the numerical simulation was carried out using the experimental temperature data. In the heat transfer analysis, the temperature distribution of the structure over time was calculated using the Reynolds equation. The final friction stir welding deformation was calculated by performing the structural analysis using the calculated temperature distribution data over time. The thermal elasto-plastic analysis was performed according to the friction stir welding process conditions and the welding sequences. Finally, the optimum welding condition was derived that the welding speed is 1000 mm/min and the rotation speed of the tool is 2000 RPM.

In this study, the physicochemical characteristics and fluoride adsorption capacity of the bone char pyrolyzed at different temperatures; 200℃, 300℃, 350℃, 400℃, 500℃, 600℃, and 700℃ were investigated. Analytical studies of the synthesized bone char including; SEM-EDS, XRD, BET and FT-IR, showed the presence of hydroxyapatite(HAP), which is the main substance that adsorbs fluoride from aqueous solutions containing high fluoride concentrations. Bone char pyrolyzed from 350∼700℃ specifically revealed that, the lower the temperature, the higher the fluoride adsorption capacity and vice versa. The loss of the fluoride adsorption function of HAP (OH- band in the FTIR analysis) was interpreted as the main reason behind this inverse correlation between temperature and fluoride adsorption. Bone char produced at 350°C hence exhibited a fluoride adsorption capacity of 10.56 mgF/g, resulting in significantly higher adsorption compared to previous studies.

소성 굴 패각의 PO4-P 및 NH3-N의 제거성능을 평가하기 위해 100℃(POS100), 600℃(POS600), 800℃(POS800)로 소성시킨 굴 패각을 시료충전층에 채워 인공오수를 통과시키는 실내실험을 통해 PO4-P 및 NH3-N의 제거 성능을 확인하였다. 시료충전층을 통과한 유출수는 굴 패각에서 용출된 CaO의 영향으로 pH가 상승한 것으로 조사되었다. PO4-P 제거량은 최대 약 23.1 mg/kg(POS100), 16.1 mg/kg(POS600), 15.9 mg/kg(POS800)으로, POS100의 PO4-P 제거량이 높게 나타난 것으로 확인되었다. PO4-P 제거 요인으로는 굴 패각의 Ca 및 Dolomite가 PO4-P를 흡착·침전시킨 것으로 판단된다. NH3-N 제거량은 최대 약 3.56 mg/kg(POS100), 5.72 mg/kg(POS600), 3.97 mg/kg(POS800)으로 나타났다. NH3-N의 제거율이 낮은 요인으로는 불안정한 질산화 과정, pH의 상승으로 인해 NH3-N가 NH4 +로 변환된 영향 등의 복합적인 원인으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과를 통해 소성 굴 패각은 화학 반응을 통해 PO4-P 및 NH3-N 농도를 감소시킨 것으로 판단되며, 본 연구의 결과는 향후 소성 굴 패각을 활용한 하수처리 기술개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Our tests are our stability guarantee and efficient together with operation.

Recently, metal cases are widely used in smart phones for their luxurious color and texture. However, when a metal case is used, electric shock may occur during charging. Chip capacitors of various values are used to prevent the electric shock. However, chip capacitors are vulnerable to electrostatic discharge(ESD) generated by the human body, which often causes insulation breakdown during use. This breakdown can be eliminated with a high-voltage chip varistor over 340V, but when the varistor voltage is high, the capacitance is limited to about 2pF. If a chip capacitor with a high dielectric constant and a chip varistor with a high voltage can be combined, it is possible to obtain a new device capable of coping with electric shock and ESD with various capacitive values. Usually, varistors and capacitors differ in composition, which causes different shrinkage during co-firing, and therefore camber, internal crack, delamination and separation may occur after sintering. In addition, varistor characteristics may not be realized due to the diffusion of unwanted elements into the varistor during firing. Various elements are added to control shrinkage. In addition, a buffer layer is inserted in the middle of the varistor-capacitor junction to prevent diffusion during firing, thereby developing a co-fired product with desirable characteristics.

본 연구에서는 저온 소성 굴 패각의 재활용을 위한 기초적 연구로서 메조코즘 실험을 통해 저온 소성 굴 패각의 피복에 따른 연안 오염 퇴적물의 성상 변화를 조사하였다. 이를 위해 350 °C에서 소성시킨 굴 패각을 연안 오염 퇴적물에 피복하여 직상수와 간극수의 성상변화를 분석하는 메조코즘 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 굴 패각의 피복에 의해 수층과 퇴적층이 분리되었기 때문에 직상수의 산화 환원전위(ORP) 증가 및 DIN 중의 NH3-N의 비율의 감소가 실험구에서 관측되었다. 실험구의 DIP의 농도는 대조구와 비교하여 유의한 차이를 확인하기 어려웠다. 굴 패각의 피복에 의한 퇴적물의 총유기탄소(TOC)는 감소하였으며, 산휘발성황화물(AVS)은 저온 소성 굴 패각의 황화물 흡착 능력으로 인해 최대 50%까지 감소한 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 저온 소성 굴 패각은 연안 오염 퇴적물의 정화를 위해 이용될 수 있는 재료인 것으로 결론 지을 수 있다.
