Sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets have been widely used due to their excellent magnetic properties, especially for driving motors of hybrid and electric vehicles. The microstructure of Nd-Fe-B magnets strongly affects their magnetic properties, in particular the coercivity. Therefore, a post-sintering process like heat-treatment is required for improving the magnetic properties of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets. In this study, cyclic heat treatment was performed at temperatures between and up to 16 cycles in order to control microstructures such as size and shape of the Nd-rich phase without grain growth of the phase. The 2 cycles specimen at this temperature range showed more homogeneous microstructure which leads to higher coercivity of 35 kOe than as-sintered one.

A burning principle in gasoline engine is the one of being burned, by which a mixer in air and gasoline enters a combustion chamber and causes a spark in the proper timing. This is formed, by which ECU controls the fuel-injection volume and the fuel-injection timing, and determines the performance of engine. The purpose of this study is to test the characteristics on knocking in gasoline engine with the knocking-sensor equipment and to research into the characteristics in knocking while directly controling the optimal igniting timing and the fuel-injection timing through engine ECU. Given controlling ECU by grasping the characteristics in knocking, which becomes the most problem in the engine tuning market, the tuning in a true sense will be formed in gasoline engine.

Elongated CdSe nanoparticles with a diameter of 3-7nm have been successfully synthesized using two surfactants of trioctylphospine (TOP) and hexadecylamine (HDA) at . The formation of elongated CdSe nanoparticles is possibly due to the cooperative effects from both the different binding capability of two surfactants (TOP and HDA) and intrinsically anisotropic crystal structure of the CdSe. The electron diffraction pattern of CdSe nanoparticles revealed the formation of wurzite phase. The CdSe samples showed red-shifted wavelength from 560 to 580nm with increasing the refluxing time due to the gradual growth of CdSe nanoparticles. The relatively broad absorption band can be attributed to the surface state of CdSe nanoparticles. The possible formation mechanism of elongated CdSe nanoparticles was proposed and the characteristics of CdSe have been discussed as well.

The investigation is to modify the mechanical and chemical properties of Mg alloys using a combination of rapid solidification and surface treatment. As the first approach, was gas atomized and pressure sintered by spark plasma sintering process (SPS), showing much finer microstructure and higher strength than the alloys as cast. Further modification was performed by treating the surface of PM Mg specimen using Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process. During the PEO processing, MgO layer was initiated to form on the surface of Mg powder compacts, and the thickness and the density of MgO layer were varied with the reaction time. The thickening rate became low with the reaction time due to the limited diffusion rate of Mg ions. The surface morphology, corrosion behavior and wear resistance were also discussed

The amorphous alloy strip was pulverized to get a flake-shaped powder after annealing at for 90 min and subsequently ground to obtain finer flake-shaped powder by using a ball mill. The powder was mixed with polyimide-based binder of , and then the mixture was cold compacted to make a toroidal powder core. After crystallization treatment for 1 hour at , the powder was transformed from amorphous to nanocrystalline with the grain size of . Soft magnetic characteristics of the powder core was optimized at with the insulating binder of 3wt%. As a result, the powder core showed the outstanding magnetic properties in terms of core loss and permeability, which were originated from the optimization of the grain size and distribution of the insulating binder.

The W/O emulsion was formed by mixing hydrophobic nonion surfactants of span 80 and tween 60 with kerosine, and by adding sodium silicate aqueous solution. Precipitating the W/O emulsion by sodium bicarbonate resulted in spherical silica particles. Shape and size distribution of silica particles were observed. The particles were spherical and they have narrow size distribution. Particle sizes were 9.29, 7.39 and 5.73 μm at homogenizer speed of 2500, 3000, and 3500 rpm, respectively. The particle size was decreased by increasing agitation speed due to the formation of emulsion droplet. At fixed agitation speed, absorbed paraffin oil weight were measured and the SiO2/Na2O mole ratio effects on particle size were investigated. Particle size was decreased by increasing the mole ratio of SiO2/Na2O.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation and characteristics between electromyographic (EMG) activities of lower leg muscles and the posturographic assessment of static balance control in normal adults. Twenty-four young, healthy adults(12 males, 12 females) participated in the study. Center of pressure (COP) parameters were obtained using force platform as total path distance, total sway area, X mean frequency and Y mean frequency for 20 seconds in the following conditions: (1) comfortable standing with eyes opened or closed, (2) uncomfortable standing (feet together) with eyes opened or closed, (3) virtual moving surround delivered using Head mount display (HMD) with four different moving patterns. The virtual moving patterns consisted of close-far, superior-inferior tilting (pitch), right-left tilting (roll), and horizontal rotation (yaw) movements. Surface electromyographic activites were recorded on the tibialis anterior, peroneus longus, medial and lateral heads of gastrocnemius muscles under each condition. Correlation between the posturographic measures and EMG activities were evaluated. Total path distance and total sway area of COP were significantly increased during uncomfortable standing. EMG activity of tibialis anterior was significantly more during uncomfortable standing and virtual moving surround stimulation than during comfortable standing. Total path distance and sway area of COP during comfortable standing with closed eyes showed significant positive correlation with the EMG activities of the lateral head of gastrocnemius muscle. Total path distances and total sway area of COP during muscle. Total path distances and total sway area of COP during presentation of virtual moving surround also had significant positive correlations with EMG activities of the lateral head of gastrocnemius muscle under close-far movement.

본 논문에서는 응력파 전파를 수치모의할 때 발생하는 수치적인 분산효과를 제거하기 위해 파동방정식에 기초한 일차원 유한요소모형을 이용하여 수치분산오차의 특성을 분석하고 분산오차를 제어할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 질량행렬을 그대로 사용하는 경우와 집중질량행렬을 사용하는 경우에 대한 수치분산오차를 분석하였다. 개발된 분산제어기법은 공간미분항의 시간단계 가중치 및 질량집중도를 조정하는 음해법과 인위적인 분산항을 추가하는 양해법의 두가지 방법이다. 제안된 분산보정기법을 이용하여 계산한 수치해와 파동방정식의 해석해를 비교한 결과 본 연구에서 제안한 분산보정기법의 타당성을 확인하였다.

PDP용 녹색 형광체의 발광특성을 개선시키기 위해 고안된 액상의 화학적 합성법을 사용하여 조성식이 Zn2-x SiO4:xMn(x=0.05, 0.08)인 형광체를 입자크기가 0.5~2μm로 조절하여 제조하였다. 제조된 형광체 입자는 구상이며 잘 분산된 형상을 봉주었고, 고상반응법에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 1080˚C에서 willemite구조의 단일상을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 진공 자외선 영역의 147 nm의 여기원을 사용하여 광발광 특성을 조사하였다. 입자의 크기가 1μm이고 Mn의 도핑양이 8mole%일 때, 상용 형광체와 비교하여 발광세기는 약 40% 향상되었고 색좌표는 x=0.24, y=0.69로 거의 일치하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 측정된 형광체의 잔광시간은 7.8ms이었다.

실리카 유리는 매우 우수한 광도파 소재이지만 비선형 광특성이 거의 없다. 그러나 이런 실리카 유리에 금속 전극과 같은 차단전극을 이용하여 강한 전기장을 장시간 가하게 되면 공간 전하 분극이 발생하게 되고 이에 의해 비선형 광특성이 나타나게 된다는 것은 실험적으로 알려져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 전기분극 시 실리카 유리에서 나타나는 비선형 광특성의 경시적인 변화를 공간적인 위치와 시간에 따라 정확히 예측할 수 있는 수치해석적인 모델을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 지금가지 실험들에서 실리카 유리의 비선형 광특성 발생의 원인으로 밝혀진 공간전하분극을 전기분극 기구의 전산모사를 통하여 규명하였다. 비정질 실리카를 전해질 용액과 같은 특성을 지니는 매질로 가정하고 전하운반체가 단지 Na+ 밖에 없다는 가정 하에 유한 차분법 (finite difference method)을 이용하였다. 원래의 복잡한 함수들을 표준화 변수들을 이용하여 간단한 식으로 변환하여 Na+의 농도와 전기장의 분포를 표준화된 시편의 길이와 인가된 전압의 세기만으로 구할 수 있도록 하였다.

제어봉 구동장치(CEDM)의 동적거동은 원자로의 동적거동과 연동되어 있어, 두 구조물 간의 상호 동적 특성을 이해한 후 CEDM의 설계 개선 방향을 정립해야 한다. 원자로와 CEDM을 각각 1차 질량 및 2차 질량으로 하는 2 자유도계로 단순화하여 상호 동적 영향을 검토하고, 두 질량의 응답을 모두 감소시키는 최적의 .mu.-f곡선을 제시하였다. 설계 개선은 고유진동수비 f를 가능한 0.93부근으로 수렴시켜야 하며, 질량비 .mu.는 감소시키지 않아야 하고, 제시된 최적의 .mu.-f곡선에 접근시키는 방향으로 해야 함을 제안하였다. 이에 따라 CEDM의 부품들의 설계를 최적화하여 원자로와 CEDM의 변위 응답비를 각각 10.5-19.7%와 6.3-3.4%씩 모두 감소시킬 수 있었다.

어종의 식별을 위한 음향학적 정보를 추출해 내는 데 활용하기 위한 초음파 변환기를 설계하기 위한 시도의 하나로꺼 전극분할 원반형 압전진동자를 이용하여 공진주파기를 가변시켜 넓은 주파수 대역에 걸쳐 사용할 수 있는 어군탐지기용 송.수파기를 설계하였다. 본 연구에서 설계한 초음파 변환기는 전극분할형 압전진동자의 한쪽 전극에 발전기를 접속하고, 다른 쪽 전국에 2.7~15.0 mH 인덕턴스를 접속하였을 때, 경방향에 대한 공진 주파스는 49.5~ 55.7 kHz의 범위에서 가변시킬 수 있었고, 또한 외부에서 진동자에 인가한 임피던스의 영향에 의해 출현하는 공진주파수에는 61.3~121.7 kHz의 범위에서 가변시킬수 있었다. 그러나, 이들 주파수에 대한 전기음향효율을 고려 할때, 실제로 활용할 수 있는 주파수 범위는 이것보다 훨씬 좁은 폭이 될 것이라 판단된다.
