탄소섬유튜브는 기존의 콘크리트 기둥에 강도와 연성을 제공하여 길이방향 및 횡방향 철근을 대신할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄소섬유튜브에 의해 구속된 각형 콘크리트의 축하중에 대한 실험 및 해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 탄소섬유튜브는 길이방향에 대하여 90^{\circ}\pm30^{\circ}, 90^{\circ}\pm45^{\circ}로 섬유의 방향을 조합하여 필라멘트 와인딩 방법으로 제작하였다. 10,000kN UTM을 이용하여 단조축하중을 재하하였다. 섬유의 방향, 튜브의 두께에 따른 횡구속된 콘크리트 기둥의 응력-변형률 관계를 고찰하였다. 탄소섬유튜브에 의해 횡구속된 콘크리트의 압축강도와 연성을 예측하기 위하여 제안된 실험식은 실험결과를 적절히 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

The production of micro components is one of the leading technologies in the fields of information and communiation, medical and biotechnology, and micro sensor and micro actuator system. Microfabrication (micromachining) techniques such as X-ray lithography, electroforming, micromolding and excimer laser ablation are used for the production of micro components out of silicon, polymer and a limited number of pure metals or binary alloys. However, since the first development of microfabrication technologies there have been demands for the cost-effective replication in large scale series as well as the extended range of available material. One such promising process is micro powder injection molding (PIM), which inherits the advantages of the conventional PIM technology, such as low production cost, shape complexity, applicability to many materials, applicability to many materials, and good tolerance. This paper reports on a fundamental investigation of the application of W-Cu powder to micro metal injection molding (MIM), especially in view of achieving a good filling and a safe removal of a micro mold conducted in the experiment. It is absolutely legitimate and meaningful, at the present state of the technique, to continue developing the micro MIM towards production processes for micro components.
