In this study, we investigate the effect of the duration of mechanical alloying on the microstructures and mechanical properties of ODS ferritic/martensitic steel. The Fe(bal.)-10Cr-1Mo pre-alloyed powder and Y2O3 powder are mechanically alloyed for the different mechanical alloying duration (0 to 40 h) and then constantly fabricated using a uniaxial hot pressing process. Upon increasing the mechanical alloying time, the average powder diameter and crystallite size increased dramatically. In the initial stages within 5 h of mechanical alloying, inhomogeneous grain morphology is observed along with coarsened carbide and oxide distributions; thus, precipitate phases are temporarily observed between the two powders because of insufficient collision energy to get fragmented. After 40 h of the MA process, however, fine martensitic grains and uniformly distributed oxide particles are observed. This led to a favorable tensile strength and elongation at room temperature and 650oC.

본 연구에서는 폴리비닐알콜(PVA)와 폴리프로필렌글리콜(PPG)기반의 창상피복용 수분산 폴리우레탄수지를 합성하였으며, 시료의 물리적 특성을 필름 시료와 피혁(Full-Grain) 표면에 코팅을 하여 물리적 특성 변화를 연구하였다. 인장강도의 경우 PVA가장 적게 반응된 PUD-PA1 2.00 kgf/㎟ 으로 가장 높은 저항성을 보였으며. 마찬가지로 연실율은 PVA가장 적게 반응된 PUD-PA1가 554%로 높게 측정되었다. 내마모성 측정 결과 PVA 반응이 증가함에 따라 표면의 강도나 낮게 36.77 ㎎.loss로 감소 됨을 알수 있었다.

In recent years, importance of blockchain systems has been grown after success of bitcoin. Distributed consensus algorithm is used to achieve an agreement, which means the same information is recorded in all nodes participating in blockchain network. Various algorithms were suggested to resolve blockchain trilemma, which refers conflict between decentralization, scalability, security. An algorithm based on Byzantine Agreement among Decentralized Agents (BADA) were designed for the same manner, and it used limited committee that enables an efficient consensus among considerable number of nodes. In addition, election of committee based on Proof-of-Nonce guarantees decentralization and security. In spite of such prominence, application of BADA in actual blockchain system requires further researches about performance and essential features affecting on the performance. However, performance assessment committed in real systems takes a long time and costs a great deal of budget. Based on this motivation, we designed and implemented a simulator for measuring performance of BADA. Specifically, we defined a simulation framework including three components named simulator Command Line Interface, transaction generator, BADA nodes. Furthermore, we carried out response surface analysis for revealing latent relationship between performance measure and design parameters. By using obtained response surface models, we could find an optimal configuration of design parameters for achieving a given desirable performance level.

Up to date cosmetic OEM/ODM (original equipment manufacturing/original development manufacturing) industry receives attention as a future growth engine due to steady growth. However, because of limited research and development capability, many companies have employed commercial management platforms specialized for large-sized companies; thus, overall system effectiveness and efficiency is low. Especially, MRP (material requirement planning) system introduced originally in 1970s is employed to calculate the requirement of the parts. However, dynamic nature of production lead time usually results in incorrect requirements. In addition, its algorithm does not consider the capability of the production resources. Also, because the commercial MRP system calculates all subcomponent for fixed period, the more goods have subcomponent, the slower calculation is. Therefore, conventional MRP system cannot respond complicated situation in time. In this study, we will suggest a new method that can respond to complicated situations resulting from short lead time and urgent production order in Korean cosmetic market. In particular, a distributed MRP system is proposed, that consists of multi-functional and operational modules, based on the characteristic of the BOM (bill of material). The distributed MRP system divides components (i.e. products and parts) into several fields and decrease the problem size; thus, we can respond to dynamically changed data any time. Through this solution, we can order components quickly, adjust schedules and planned quantity, and manage stocks reasonably. In addition, a prototype of the distributed MRP system is presented in this paper, in which ERP (enterprise resource planning) sever data is associated with an excel spreadsheet via MSsql. System user interface is implemented by a VBA (visual basic for applications) tool. According to a case study, response rate for delivery and planning achievement rate were enhanced about 20%, and inventory turnover was also decreased. Consequently, the proposed system improves overall profit.

기존의 바나듐 레독스 흐름전지(vanadium redox flow battery, VRFB)에서 사용하고 있는 과불소계이오노머인 나피 온(Nafion)은 전해질에 존재하는 바나듐 이온의 투과도가 높아, 바나듐 이온이 분리막을 투과하여 반대쪽 전해질로 교차 이동 하는 문제를 갖고 있다. VRFB에서 바나듐 이온의 투과는 서로 다른 산화수를 갖는 바나듐 이온이 부반응을 일으켜 충전, 방전 용량의 감소를 야기하고, 장기적인 성능 감소를 일으키는 원인이 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 SiO2에 3-aminopropyl group이 도입된 나노입자(fS)를 Nafion에 분산시켜 바나듐 이온의 투과를 감소시키고, VRFB의 장기적인 성능 의 향상을 도모하고자 하였다. SiO2에 붙어 있는 아민기(-NH2)가 Nafion의 술폰산 음이온(SO3 -)과 이온결합을 형성함과 동시 에, 암모늄 양이온(-NH3 +)의 양전하가 바나듐 이온에 대해 Gibbs-Donnan 효과를 나타내어 낼 것이라고 기대하였다. fS를 섞은 Nafion 용액의 pH와 Nafion-fS 막의 IEC 측정을 통해 암모늄 양이온과 술폰산 음이온의 이온결합이 존재하는 것을 확인하였고, fS의 양이 많아질수록 바나듐 이온의 투과도가 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. VRFB 단위 전지에 제조한 복합막을 도입하였을 때, 150 mA/cm2의 전류밀도에서 충방전 사이클을 200회 반복 진행하여도 방전용량을 최대 80%까지 유지할 수 있었다.

Machines and facilities are physically or chemically degenerated by continuous usage. One of the results of this degeneration is the process mean shift. The representative type of the degeneration is wear of tool or machine. According to the increasing wear level, non-conforming products cost and quality loss cost are increasing simultaneously. Therefore a periodic preventive resetting the process is necessary. The total cost consists of three items: adjustment cost (or replacement cost), non-conforming cost due to product out of upper or lower limit specification, and quality loss cost due to difference from the process target value and the product characteristic value among the conforming products. In this case, the problem of determining the adjustment period or wear limit that minimizes the total cost is called the ‘process mean shift’ problem. It is assumed that both specifications are set and the wear level can be observed directly . In this study, we propose a new model integrating the quality loss cost, process variance, and production volume, which has been conducted in different fields in previous studies. In particular, for the change in production volume according to the increasing in wear level, we propose a generalized production quantity function g(w). This function can be applied to most processes and we fitted the g(w) to the model. The objective equation of this model is the total cost per unit wear, and the determining variables are the wear limit and initial process setting position that minimize the objective equation.

CeO2 nanoparticles, employed in a lot of fields due to their excellent oxidation and reduction properties, are synthesized through a solvothermal process, and a high specific surface area is shown by controlling, among various process parameters in the solvothermal process, the type of solvent. The synthesized CeO2 nanoparticles are about 11~13 nm in the crystallite size and their specific surface area is about 65.38~84.65 m2/g, depending on the amount of ethanol contained in the solvent for the solvothermal process; all synthesized CeO2 nanoparticles shows a fluorite structure. The dispersibility and microstructure of the synthesized CeO2 nanoparticles are investigated according to the species of dispersant and the pH value of the solution; an improvement in dispersibility is shown with the addition of dispersants and control of the pH. Various dispersing properties appear according to the dispersant species and pH in the solution with the synthesized CeO2 nanoparticles, indicating that improved dispersing properties in the synthesized CeO2 nanoparticles can be secured by applying dispersant and pH control simultaneously.

미국선녀벌레(Metcalfa pruinosa)는 2009년 국내에 최초로 보고된 이후 남부지역 단감 과원을 중심으로 다양한 농작물에 경제적 피해를 야기한다. 미국선녀벌레는 기주 범위가 넓고 다양하여 농경지뿐 아니라 산림지역에도 존재하여 과수원 인근 산림에서 농경지로 유입되는 개체로 인하여 효율적인 방제를 위한 시간적, 공간적 범위를 결정하는데 어려움이 많다. 본 연구에서는 투명 점착트랩을 이용하여 단감원에서 미국선녀벌 레의 발생 양상과 유입 및 유출 경향을 조사하였고, SADIE(Spatial Analysis by Distance Indices)를 사용하여 공간분포를 조사하였다. 또한 조사 시점간 공간분포의 상관관계를 분석하여, 분포의 패턴의 변화하는 시점들을 확인하였다. 단감원에서 미국선녀벌레의 발생 최성기는 5월 중 순과 8월 중순으로 5월에는 약충이, 8월에는 성충이 발견되었다. 10월 이후에는 발견되지 않았다. 5월 중하순경 부화한 약충은 임의분포 하였으나 포장 외부로 분산한 후 집중 분포하는 패턴을 보였다. 성충은 다시 포장으로 유입된 후 임의분포하였다. 트랩 높이별 채집 정도는 약충기에는 상대적으로 아래쪽 트랩에서, 성충기에는 위쪽 트랩에서 많이 채집되었다. 이러한 경향성은 포장 내부와 주변부의 밀도 변화에서도 확인할 수 있 었고, 포장 내 단감에서의 미국선녀벌레 실제 밀도와도 매우 유사한 경향을 보였다.

The Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem (DVRP) involves a combinatorial optimization problem where new customer demands become known over time, and old routes must be reconfigured to generate new routes while executing the current solution. We consider the high level of dynamism problem. An application of highly dynamic DVRP is the ambulance service where a patient contacts the service center, followed by an evaluation of case severity, and a visit by a practitioner/ ambulance is scheduled accordingly. This paper considers a variant of the DVRP and proposes a decentralized algorithm in which collaborators (Depot and Vehicle), both have only partial information about the entire system. The DVRP is modeled as a periodic re optimization of VRP using the proposed decentralized algorithm where collaborators exchange local information to achieve the best global objective for the current state of the system. We assume the existence of a dispatcher e.g., headquarter of the company who can communicate to vehicles in order to gather information and assigns the new visits to them. The effectiveness of the proposed decentralized coordination algorithm is further evaluated using benchmark data given in literature. The results show that the proposed method performed better than the compared algorithms which utilize the centralized coordination in 12 out of 21 benchmark problems.

In this study, lanthanum oxide (La2O3) dispersed molybdenum (Mo–La2O3) alloys are fabricated using lanthanum nitrate solution and nanosized Mo particles produced by hydrogen reduction of molybdenum oxide. The effect of La2O3 dispersion in a Mo matrix on the fracture toughness at room temperature is demonstrated through the formation behavior of La2O3 from the precursor and three-point bending test using a single-edge notched bend specimen. The relative density of the Mo–0.3La2O3 specimen sintered by pressureless sintering is approximately 99%, and La2O3 with a size of hundreds of nanometers is uniformly distributed in the Mo matrix. It is also confirmed that the fracture toughness is 19.46 MPa·m1/2, an improvement of approximately 40% over the fracture toughness of 13.50 MPa·m1/2 on a pure-Mo specimen without La2O3, and this difference in the fracture toughness occurs because of the changes in fracture mode of the Mo matrix caused by the dispersion of La2O3.
