With the increasing attention to environmental pollution caused by particulate matter globally, the automotive industry has also become increasingly interested in particulate matter, especially particulate matter generated by automobile brake systems. Here, we designed a coating composition and analyzed its mechanical properties to reduce particulate matter generated by brake systems during braking of vehicles. We designed a composition to check the mechanical properties change by adding Cr3C2 and YSZ to the WC-Ni-Cr composite composition. Based on the designed composition, coating samples were manufactured, and the coating properties were analyzed by Vickers hardness and ball-on-disk tests. As a result of the experiments, we found that the hardness and friction coefficient of the coating increased as the amount of Cr3C2 added decreased. Furthermore, we found that the hardness of the coating layer decreased when YSZ was added at 20vol%, but the friction coefficient was higher than the composition with Cr3C2 addition.

Silver nanowire (AgNW) networks have been adopted as a front electrode in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin film solar cells due to their low cost and compatibility with the solution process. When an AgNW network is applied to a CIGS thin film solar cell, reflection loss can increase because the CdS layer, with a relatively high refractive index (n ~ 2.5 at 550 nm), is exposed to air. To resolve the issue, we apply solution-processed ZnO nanorods to the AgNW network as an anti-reflective coating. To obtain high performance of the optical and electrical properties of the ZnO nanorod and AgNW network composite, we optimize the process parameters – the spin coating of AgNWs and the concentration of zinc nitrate and hexamethylene tetramine (HMT – to fabricate ZnO nanorods. We verify that 10 mM of zinc nitrate and HMT show the lowest reflectance and 10% cell efficiency increase when applied to CIGS thin film solar cells.

The purpose of this study was investigated heat flow and heat transfer coefficient characteristics of around tube when changing the tube arrangement type and heat transfer area. When  ≒1∼4, convective heat transfer coefficient of staggered and aligned arrangement was increased. Growth rate of the heat transfer coefficient becomes smaller in case of ≒5∼8 because a change in the turbulence was very small. At the staggered arrangement, all tubes were always arranged in front of the open passage between the back of the tube. Then, the entire surface area of the tube was exposed to the main flow. Thus growth rate of heat transfer coefficient appear larger than aligned arrangement.

In this study, in order to improve the efficiency of n-type monocrystalline solar cells with an Alu cell structure, we investigate the effect of the amount of Al paste in thin n-type monocrystalline wafers with thicknesses of 120 μm, 130 μm, 140 μm. Formation of the Al doped p+ layer and wafer bowing occurred from the formation process of the Al back electrode was analyzed. Changing the amount of Al paste increased the thickness of the Al doped p+ layer, and sheet resistivity decreased; however, wafer bowing increased due to the thermal expansion coefficient between the Al paste and the c-Si wafer. With the application of 5.34 mg/cm2 of Al paste, wafer bowing in a thickness of 140 μm reached a maximum of 2.9 mm and wafer bowing in a thickness of 120 μm reached a maximum of 4 mm. The study’s results suggest that when considering uniformity and thickness of an Al doped p+ layer, sheet resistivity, and wafer bowing, the appropriate amount of Al paste for formation of the Al back electrode is 4.72 mg/cm2 in a wafer with a thickness of 120 μm.

본 연구에서는 내력벽 시스템에 대하여 연결보의 단부에 적용이 가능한 박판형 금속감쇠기의 성능을 실험을 통하여 규명하고자 하였다. 박판형 금속감쇠기의 박판 두께와 길이를 변수로 하여 5개 시험체를 제작하였으며, 층간변위비 5%까지 반복하여 횡력을가력하였다. 실험결과, 금속 박판에 좌굴발생 후 소성변형이 발생하면서 에너지 발산이 이루어졌으며, 기존의 일반 콘크리트 시험체보다에너지 발산량이 크게 나타났다. 박판의 길이가 짧을수록 전단내력의 값은 증가하였으나 발산에너지의 양의 증가는 크게 나타나지 않았다. 실험 내력을 탄성좌굴해석과 비교한 결과, 해석에 의한 내력은 내력곡선 선형영역의 최대값을 적절히 예측함을 알 수 있었다.

This study is about the development of remote controlled bollard using the BLDC motor and ball screw with mechatronics theory. A bollard is composed of the sensor part and the control part. The sensor part is consisted of sensors that detect the locations of a bollard. The role of the control part is adjusting motor speed and power through variable resistance. In order to confirm required performance, the speed of decent and ascent of the bollard, the time and the RPM of BLDC motor were tested according to the variable resistance and the applied load with 10 to 72kgf.

Furthermore, this study contributes frame for improvements of National highway construction for renovation's priority strategy as well as future's policy schemes.

Because performance assessment such as a composition test introduces a range of factors that may influence the chances of success for a candidate on the test, those in charge of monitoring quality control for performance assessment programs need to gather information that will help them determine whether all aspects of the programs are working as intended. In the present study, generalizability theory (Brennan, 1992) was employed to examine the relative effects of various sources of variability on students" performance on an essay writing test and also to investigate the reliability of the assigned scores. The results showed that due to the largest effect associated with the students" writing ability and negligible effects associated with facets of measurement such as scoring criteria and ratings, the generalizability coefficient estimated for the writing test was high, suggesting that the test is a reliable measure of what it purports to measure, the students" writing ability.

This paper deals with the response analysis of a floating building structure subject to both wind and wave loads. The hydrodynamic analysis is performed with sets of wind and wave loads selected from the 100-year return period concept to assess the effect of extreme ocean environmental loads on a floating building. From hydrodynamic analysis in time-domain analysis, it is shown that the responses obtained from the analysis in consideration of both wind and wave loads are far greater than those of wave load only.
