In this paper, a method of reducing the weight of vehicle wheels through topology optimization by finite element method is proposed. Recently, various environmental pollution caused by the operation of vehicles is gradually increasing, and this has a great correlation with the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Therefore, it is required to reduce the weight of the vehicle to increase fuel efficiency. Among them, the vehicle's wheels are a key part of vehicle acceleration and braking, and passenger safety. Because the shape of the wheels is different, various effects such as reduced fuel economy and reduced airpower occur as well as aesthetic factors. The stiffness of the wheels plays an important role in transmitting the vehicle's power to the tires and braking. In this study, to reduce weight while satisfying the stiffness value, we propose to use topology optimization to design an arbitrary shape according to the number of spokes on the wheel.

인류 문명은 재료의 발달과 함께 진화를 해왔으며 20세기 후반부터 등장한 스마트재료는 외부 환경에 맞춰 스스로 적응을 하는 재료이다. 많은 종류의 스마트재료 중 대표물질이라고 할 수 있는 형상기억합금은 온도에 반응하여 자가 치유효과 를 볼 수 있는 재료이다. 외부 하중에 의한 변형을 자가치유 효과를 사용하여 회복을 하고자 하는 연구는 계속되어 왔지만 온 도의 변화를 구조물 전체적으로 줘야한다는 많은 불편이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이 효과를 증진하여 상온에서도 자가 치유효과를 할 수 있는 초탄성 형상기억합금을 이용한다. 구조물에 있어서의 초탄성 형상기억합금의 능력을 스테인리스강과 함 께 비교하고 비교를 위해 강재가 가장 변형되기 쉬운 형태인 와이어형태로 가공하여 다양한 인장실험을 진행한다. 인장실험의 종류는 총 3가지로 변위를 다르게, 인장속도를 다르게, 선 인장력을 다르게 하는 실험으로 진행된다. 이때의 응력, 변형률간의 그래프를 그리고 잔류변형, 재료의 항복점 및 회복, 에너지 소산과 같은 구조물에 있어서의 재료적 능력을 파악하고 따로 그래 프를 도식화 하여 해석하였다.

The development of advanced materials to improve the efficiency of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting paves the way for widespread renewable energy technologies. Efficient photoanodes with strong absorbance in visible light increases the effectiveness of solar energy conversion systems. MoS2 in a two-dimensional semiconductor that has excellent absorption performance in visible light and high catalytic activity, showing considerable potential as an agent of PEC water splitting. In this study, we successfully modulated the MoS2 morphology on indium tin oxide substrate by using the metalorganic chemical vapor deposition method, and applied the PEC application. The PEC photocurrent of the vertically grown MoS2 nanosheet structure significantly increased relative to that of MoS2 nanoparticles because of the efficient transfer of charge carriers and high-density active sites. The enhanced photocurrent was attributed to the efficient charge separation and improved light absorption of the MoS2 nanosheet structure. Meanwhile, the photocurrent property of thick nanosheets decreased because of the limit imposed by the diffusion lengths of carriers. This study proposes a valuable photoelectrode design with suitable nanosheet morphology for efficient PEC water splitting.

우리나라는 해상활동의 중요성이 크며, 산업화에 따른 이상기후 현상 등을 규명하기 위해 육상에 많은 자동기상 관측설비 를 운영 중이지만 해상에서는 그 수가 매우 부족하다. 또한, 해양안전정보 구축 등을 위해 해양조사선을 운영 중이나 접근이 어려운 곳이 많고 높은 운영비용이 요구된다. 따라서 다양한 해양관측 등이 가능한 소형무인화선박의 개발이 필요하다. 한편 소형 무인화 선 박에서 세일(Sail)은 항해 성능에 큰 영향을 미치므로 이에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 에어포일 형상보다 높은 공기역학적 성능을 갖는 것으로 알려진 트윈커브세일(Twin curvy sail)의 설계변수인 캠버(Camber)효과에 대해 검토하였다. 5 종류 의 캠버에 대해 유동해석 결과, 캠버 크기가 9 %일 때 가장 높은 양력계수를 나타내었다. 트윈커브세일의 경우 Port sail과 Starboard sail 의 상호작용에 의해 받음각 23°에서 가장 높은 양력계수를 갖고, Port sail의 경우 받음각 20°에서 가장 높은 양력계수를 Starboard sail의 경우 받음각 15°에서 가장 낮은 양력계수를 나타내었다. 또한, 트윈커브세일은 모든 받음각에서 에어포일 형상인 NACA 0018보다 높은 양력계수를 나타내었다.

Recently, due to high theoretical capacitance and excellent ion diffusion rate caused by the 2D layered crystal structure, transition metal hydroxides (TMHs) have generated considerable attention as active materials in supercapacitors (or electrochemical capacitors). However, TMHs should be designed using morphological or structural modification if they are to be used as active materials in supercapacitors, because they have insulation properties that induce low charge transfer rate. This study aims to modify the morphological structure for high cycling stability and fast charge storage kinetics of TMHs through the use of nickel cobalt hydroxide [NiCo(OH)2] decorated on nickel foam. Among the samples used, needle-like NiCo(OH)2 decorated on nickel foam offers a high specific capacitance (1110.9 F/g at current density of 0.5 A/g) with good rate capability (1110.9 - 746.7 F/g at current densities of 0.5 - 10.0 A/g). Moreover, at a high current density (10.0 A/g), a remarkable capacitance (713.8 F/g) and capacitance retention of 95.6% after 5000 cycles are noted. These results are attributed to high charge storage sites of needle-like NiCo(OH)2 and uniformly grown NiCo(OH)2 on nickel foam surface.

High concentrations of fine particles are increasingly being detected due to inflows from abroad and local emission sources in Korea. As most people spend about 90% of their time indoors, the use of indoor air cleaners has grown significantly as they are now thought to be essential items. In this study, the noise, power consumption, and clean air delivery rate (CADR) of commercial air cleaners were analyzed according to the structural shape of the air cleaners. Analyses were performed based on the experimental results of 249 cases for air cleaners certified by Korea Air Cleaning Association. The air cleaners with front inlet and upper outlet air flow direction, which currently account for the highest market share, were found to have the highest noise per CADR (dB(A)/(m3/min)). On the other hand, the air cleaners with the inlet and outlet air flow in the same horizontal direction were found to have lowest noise per CADR than other structures.

With the advancement of industrialization, modern industry had sophisticated technology, and manufacturers also demanded high-precision measurement accuracy. Improving the quality level by increasing the reliability of measurement results as well as accurate measurement is a key issue to increase the competitiveness of today's manufacturing industry. In general, measurement results depend on tolerances in the industrial field, and it may be difficult to guarantee the reliability of the data in the case of an industry that deals with precision parts. Currently, measurement uncertainty is mainly applied to the calibration and test fields of instruments. This study is aim to apply measurement uncertainty as a way to improve the accurate analysis and reliability of measurement results in the industrial field. For this, precision parts connected by shaft and hole were selected among geometric elements, and roundness and cylindricity were measured using a roundness measuring instrument and CMM. And, taking into account the environment in which these measurements were made, factors affecting the measurement results were derived, and a mathematical model was established to calculate the measurement uncertainty. Applying uncertainty in the field in this way is expected to improve the level of quality and accurate analysis of measurement results.

This paper studies the flow characteristics inside the low-temperature carbonization(LTF) including sealing chamber with labyrinth. The flow behavior inside the furnace was analyzed according to different labyrinth shapes. The effects of labyrinth baffle number, and clearance between upper and lower baffles in the sealing chamber were investigated. The large vortex and stagnation region are generated in the chamber when the gap between the baffle and baffle is small. As a result, the gas discharge flow rate can be increased by 29.4% when the flow space of labyrinth is made 75% of the baffle length.

임진왜란을 다룬 고소설 「임진록」에서 승군의 활약은 휴정과 유정을 중심으로 서술된다. 영규가 승려로서는 맨 먼저 언급되지만 활약에 비해 소략하게 다루어졌고, 처영은 조선후기에 대표적인 승장으로 언급될 만큼 활약이 컸지만 「임진록」에는 이름만 언급되는 정도로 그쳤다. 승려와 관련하여 「임진록」에서 특히 주목되는 사건은 유점사에 왜군이 난입하여 재물을 요구한 사건이다. 이 상황에서 유정은 태연하게 왜장을 대하면서 분위기를 가라앉히고 담화로 좌지우지하여 도승으로서의 면모를 보여주었다. 「임진록」에 다른 의승장들의 전투 성과가 생략되거나 약화된 것에 비해 유점사 사건이 자세하게 서술되는 것에서 승려에 대한 작자의 관점을 알 수 있다. 전투보다는 담화로 상대를 제압하는 것에서 다른 의병장과 다른 면모를 파악한 것이다. 이 사건이 국중 한문본에는 휴정의 것으로 되어 있는데 젊은 유정보다는 노승 휴정이 더 적합하다는 의식이 작용한 듯하다. 이는 군담소설의 노승 이미지와 유사하다는 점에서 흥미롭다. 군담소설에서 노승은 주인공의 출산을 예견한다든지, 주인공이 위기에 빠졌을 때 구출하여 안식처와 교육을 제공하는 등의 역할을 한다. 이러한 노승 이미지는 「임진록」의 승려 형상에서 영향받았을 가능성이 있다. 「임진록」의 찬술 시기를 확정하지 못하는 상황이므로 군담소설과 영향 관계를 단정하지는 못한다. 그러나 역사계열 한문본 「임진록」이 17세기에 이루어졌다는 견해가 우세하므로 역사계열 한문본 「임진록」에 보이는 승려 형상이 18세기에 성행한 군담소설에 영향을 주었을 수 있다.

최근 유기농산물에 대한 선호가 증가하고 있다. 유기농산물 생산에 있어 물리적 제초는 필수적이다. 하지만, 국내 밭 제초작업 기계화율은 60% 미만으로 낮으며, 농촌 인구의 고령화·여성화로 소형 제초기의 개발이 필요하다. 또한, 제초기의 경우 사용자가 반복적 진동에 노출되기 때문에 이를 절감할 수 있는 노력이 필요하나, 이에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 여성·고령 농업인도 사용하기 편리한 전동 배부식 중경제초기를 개발하는 데 있어 수평 회전식 원판에 부착된 제초날의 형상(원형, 삼각형, 일자형) 및 폭(15, 20, 25mm)에 따른 제초성능 및 ISO5349-1에 따라 손에 전달되는 진동을 분석하였다. 제초율은 원형 제초날에서 90.4~96.4%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 진동 또한 원형 제초날을 사용하였을 때 사용자의 10%가 수지백증이 발병하는데 걸리는 시간이 20년 내외로 삼각형 및 일자형 제초날을 사용했을 때 보다 200% 가량 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 원형 제초날을 사용하였을 때 진동을 감소시킬 수 있으며, 불필요한 반력을 줄여 높은 제초효과를 볼 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The aim of this study was to develop a body type suitable for adult men aged from their 20s to their 40s and to present a method of drafting related patterns. To this end, the somatic surface pattern data from previous studies were used. The research method involved drafting torso patterns for each type by setting and distributing the ease to the somatic surface pattern. Appearance evaluation was performed with virtual clothing. Then, the torso pattern for each body type was completed and presented as a draft method. SPSS was used for data analysis in this study. The research results are as follows. Types 1, 2, and 3 were set to 7%, 6%, 5%; 7%, 6%, 4%; and 6.5%, 7%, and 6% for chest, waist, and hip circumference measurements, respectively. The ratio of front to back was 50%:50%, 50%:50%, and 50%:50% of the spare for each body part for Type 1; 70%:30%, 50%:50%, and 60%:40% for Type 2, and 60%:40%, 70%:30%, and 60%:40% for Type 3. A tight-fit torso pattern for each body type suitable for adult males in their 20s to 40s was drafted, which was modified and supplemented through the evaluation of the first and second virtual wear. Considering the practicality of this approach, for generalization of the patterns, the items of the pattern were converted into a drafting method and presented as a draft method.

This paper conducted a comparative analysis of the shear buckling characteristics of trapezoidal and sinusoidal corrugated steel plates considering of their initial imperfection. Initial imperfection refers to the state where the shape of the corrugated plate is initially not perfect. As such, an initially imperfect shape was assumed using the eigen buckling mode. To calculate the buckling stress of corrugated steel plates, the linear buckling analysis used a boundary condition which was applied to the plate buckling analysis. For the comparison of trapezoidal and sinusoidal corrugation, the shape parameters were assumed using the case where the length and slope of each corrugation were the same, and the initial imperfection was considered to be from 0.1% to 5% based on the length of the steel plate. Here, for the buckling analysis, ANSYS, a commercial FEA program, was used. From the results of buckling analysis, the effect of overall initial imperfection showed that the larger the initial imperfection, the lower the buckling stress. However, in the very thin model, interaction or local buckling was dominant in the perfect shape, and in this case, the buckling stress did not decrease. Besides, the sinusoidal model showed higher buckling stress than the trapezoidal one, and the two corrugation shapes decreased in a similar way.

This study aims to develop a form-finding algorithm for a single-layered pneumatic membrane. The initial shape of this pneumatic membrane, which is an air-supported type pneumatic membrane, is to find a state in which a given initial tension and internal pneumatic pressure are in equilibrium. The algorithm developed to satisfy these conditions is that a nonlinear optimization problem based on the force method considering the deformed shape is formulated, and, it’s able to find the shape by iteratively repeating the process of obtaining a solution of the governing equations. An computational technique based on the Gauss-Newton method was used as a method for obtaining solutions of nonlinear equations. In order to verify the validity of the proposed form-finding algorithm, a single-curvature pneumatic membrane example and a double-curvature air pneumatic membrane example were adopted, respectively. In the results of these examples, it was possible to well observe the step-by-step convergence process of the shape of the pneumatic membrane, and it was also possible to confirm the change in shape according to the air pressure. In addition, the calculation results of the shape and internal force after deformation due to initial tension, air pressure, and self-weight were obtained.

In this paper, a twisted shape structure with an elevation form favorable to the resistance of vibration caused by wind loads is selected from among the forms of high-rise buildings. The analytical model is a square, triangular, and hexagonal plane with a plane rotation angle of one degree from 0 to 3 degrees per each story. As a result of the analysis, as the twist angle increased, story drift ratio is increased. Responses with different eccentricity rates were shown by analytical models. Therefore planar shapes designed symmetrically to the horizontal axis of X and Y are considered advantageous for eccentricity and torsion deformation. In the case of the bending moment of the column, the response was amplified in the column supporting the base floor, the roof floor, the floor in which the cross-section of the vertical member changes, and the floor having the same number of nodes as the base floor. Finally, the axial force response of the column is determined to be absolutely affected by the gravity load compared to the lateral load.
