For Korean nuclear fuel cycle project, it is necessary to design and evaluate the integrity of spent fuel storage. For the design and evaluation of spent fuel storage, it is necessary to evaluate the properties of various materials used in spent fuel storage. The materials previously considered in the design of nuclear power plants were limited to static properties and were listed in design and manufacturing code and standards. However, for the evaluation of the storage containers in scenarios such as transportation and events, dynamic material property evaluations are required. Research on the dynamic properties of materials is generally conducted in the fields of automotive and aerospace, and most of the studies are on metal materials under sheet conditions. Since the structural materials of the storage containers for used nuclear fuel are mostly composed of thick materials, consideration should be given to property evaluation methodology and quantitative comparison. In this study, the mechanical properties of stainless steel material with canister application were evaluated according to the strain rate, and the crack resistance evaluation was also performed. It was confirmed the changes in strength and crack resistance according to the increase in strain rate and observed differences in microstructural hardening behavior.

The surface treatment effects of reinforcement filler were investigated based on the dynamic mechanical properties of mutiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/epoxy composites. The as-received MWCNTs(R-MWCNTs) were chemically modified by direct oxyfluorination method to improve the dispersibility and adhesiveness with epoxy resins in composite system. In order to investigate the induced functional groups on MWCNTs during oxyfluorination, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used. The thermo-mechanical property of MWCNTs/epoxy composite was also measured based on effects of oxyfluorination treatment of MWCNTs. The storage modulus of MWCNTs/epoxy composite was enhanced about 1.27 times through oxyfluorination of MWCNTs fillers at 25℃. The storage modulus of oxyfluorinated MWCNTs (OF73-MWCNTs) reinforced epoxy composite was much higher than that of R-MWCNTs/epoxy composite. It revealed that oxygen content led to the efficient carbon-fluorine covalent bonding during oxyfluorination. These functional groups on surface modified MWCNTs induced by oxyfluorination strikingly made an important role for the reinforced epoxy composite.

일반적으로 콘크리트댐은 비파괴 검사를 실시한 물성값을 이용하여 정적 및 동적 안전성 평가를 실시한다. 그러나 이런 값을 이용하여 수치해석을 할 경우 경험적인 물성값을 적용하기 때문에 안전성 평가에 대한 결과는 현실적 요소를 반영하기 어렵다. 또한 댐은 품질관리가 중요한 요소 중 하나이지만, 과거 건설된 몇몇 댐에 대해서 축조시기, 타설시기가 달라 재료적 특성에 따른 안전성 문제가 대두되어 관심이 되었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 오랜기간 동안 건설중단 된 후 완공된 콘크리트댐의 내부상태를 조사하고(BIPS), 시추코아에 대한 물리특성 실험을 실시하여 물성값 차이로 인해 발생되는 동적특성 결과를 비교분석하였다.

The effects of fiber surface-treatment and sizing on the dynamic mechanical properties of unidirectional and 2-directional carbon fiber/nylon 6 composites by means of dynamic mechanical analysis have been investigated in the present study. The interlaminar shear strengths of 2-directional carbon/nylon 6 composites sized with various thermosetting and thermoplastic resins are also measured using a short-beam shear test method. The result suggests that different surface-treatment levels onto carbon fibers may influence the storage modulus and tan δ behavior of carbon/nylon 6 composites, reflecting somewhat change of the stiffness and the interfacial adhesion of the composites. Dynamic mechanical analysis and short-beam shear test results indicate that appropriate use of a sizing material upon carbon fiber composite processing may contribute to enhancing the interfacial and/or interlaminar properties of woven carbon fabric/nylon 6 composites, depending on their resin characteristics and processing temperature.

천연고무/폴리스티렌계 semi- 및 full-IPN의 동적성질을 IPN 조성과 가교도의 함수로 조사하였고, 23˚C에서의 탄성율을 선택하여 복합모델과 비교하였다. Full-IPN이 semi-IPN에 비해 상분리를 억제시키는 효과가 컸으며, 23˚C에서의 탄성율에서도 Davies 모델에 더 근접하였다. Coran-Patel 모델해석에서, 상전이의 중심이 되는 조성은 full-IPN의 경우 φ2=0.75-0.8이었다.
