The theoretical capacity of silicon-based anode materials is more than 10 times higher than the capacity of graphite, so silicon can be used as an alternative to graphite anode materials. However, silicon has a much higher contraction and expansion rate due to lithiation of the anode material during the charge and discharge processes, compared to graphite anode materials, resulting in the pulverization of silicon particles during repeated charge and discharge. To compensate for the above issues, there is a growing interest in SiOx materials with a silica or carbon coating to minimize the expansion of the silicon. In this study, spherical silica (SiO2) was synthesized using TEOS as a starting material for the fabrication of such SiOx through heating in a reduction atmosphere. SiOx powder was produced by adding PVA as a carbon source and inducing the reduction of silica by the carbothermal reduction method. The ratio of TEOS to distilled water, the stirring time, and the amount of PVA added were adjusted to induce size and morphology, resulting in uniform nanosized spherical silica particles. For the reduction of the spherical monodisperse silica particles, a nitrogen gas atmosphere mixed with 5 % hydrogen was applied, and oxygen atoms in the silica were selectively removed by the carbothermal reduction method. The produced SiOx powder was characterized by FE-SEM to examine the morphology and size changes of the particles, and XPS and FT-IR were used to examine the x value (O/Si ratio) of the synthesized SiOx.

In this paper, the shape adjustment algorithm of the spoked wheel cable structures with retractable membrane system is studied. The initial tension of the membrane or cable is necessary to form the structure and its value is determined by the design shape. However, due to internal and external environmental influences, its shape may be different from the initial designed shape. In the case of the cable structures covered in this study, tension adjustment is necessary to maintain the designed shape because it influences the tension of the cable depending on the state of the retractable membrane. Therefore, we proposed an adjustment algorithm of an initial shape based on the force method. The effectiveness and validity of the methodology were examined through the applicable cable structures. The results of the shape adjustment analysis of the symmetric spoked wheel cable model were reliable and accurate results were obtained.

케이블 구조물은 비교적 가볍고 넓은 공간의 형성이 쉬우나 유연한 특징으로 인해 형상의 제어가 매우 민감하다. 이런 구조물은 여러 이유에서 형상의 보정이 필요하며, 특히 부재 제어량과 어떠한 부재를 제어해야 하는가는 것은 많은 연구자들이 고심하고 있는 문제이다. 따라서 본 논문의 목적은 하중법(Force Method)를 이용해서 형상조절을 위한 변위 제어기법을 연구하는 것이다. 논문은 2장에서는 제어 방정식을 설명하고, 3장에서는 단순 케이블 넷 모델을 이용하여 동시 및 순차제어를 고려해 해석을 수행하고 결과를 고찰한다. 4장에서는 보다 더 복잡한 케이블 돔 구조물에 적용하여 가장 유용한 부재에 대해서 논의 하고, 5장에서 결과를 요약한다.
