Since the decrease of skid resistance of the road surface due to the effects of hydroplaning increases the ratio of vehicle crashes significantly, it is important to predict water film thickness (WFT). Tined is one of the widely used textures for concrete pavements. Since previous WFT models have been developed based on the asphalt pavement texture and broom concrete, it may not give reliable predictions for Water film thickness for tinned concrete. Furthermore, surface flow on tined texture may show hydraulically different characteristics due to the geometric characteristics of tined texture. This study aims to propose a reliable water film thickness prediction model for tined concrete. Three test slabs including a smooth surface, a tined surface with 16mm spacing, and a tined surface with 25mm spacing were prepared. WFTs of the test slab were measured for various conditions such as pavement slope (0-10%), rainfall intensity (0-130mm/h), and drainage path length (0-5m). A statistical model was proposed to predict water film thickness (WFT) as a function of pavement slope, rainfall intensity, drainage path length, and mean texture depth. This model exhibits strong agreement with the experimental test results. The GWNU prediction model consistently provides reliable predictions with the actual WFT for tined concrete pavement. Conversely, the previous equation consistently underestimated the water film thickness, notably on tined surfaces with 16 mm and 25 mm spacing, due to the occurrence of viscous flow along the tined lines.

여름철은 타 계절에 비해 장마와 불안정한 대기 등으로 인하여 빗길 교통사고의 위험성이 크게 증대될 수 있으며, 최근 5년 (2018~2022)간 여름철 빗길 교통사고는 전체 빗길 교통사고의 39%를 차지할 정도로 높은 수준이다. 이러한 빗길 운전은 노면의 배수 불량 및 미끄럼 저항 감소 등으로 인하여 수막현상을 발생시키게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우천 시 도로의 안전성 강화 및 사고 위 험을 최소화하기 위한 요소인 수막두께를 산정하기 위하여 Manning의 평균 유속식을 기반으로 콘크리트 노면의 조도계수 예측 모델을 개발하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 조도계수의 영향인자를 고려하기 위하여 실외 강우 모의 장비를 이용하여 콘크리트를 타설한 뒤 실험 인자로 포장 경사, 배수거리, 강우강도, 노면 조직 특성을 고려하였으며, 이 중 노면 조직 특성은 타이닝 처리를 하지 않은 구간만 고 려한 타 연구의 기존 예측 모델 단점을 보완하기 위하여 16, 25mm 간격의 타이닝 표면 처리한 구간을 추가로 고려하였다. 수막두께 측정은 측정 범위 0.3~5mm의 수막두께 측정 게이지를 제작하여 강우가 모사된 조건에서 배수 거리 1~5m 이내 지점의 노면 조직 상 단과 수면이 접하는 수직 높이를 총 3회 측정하여 평균값을 사용하였다. 실측된 수막두께 데이터베이스를 기반으로 Manning 공식을 이용하여 조도계수를 역산한 결과, 강우강도가 증가함에 따라 조도계수는 감소하였으며, 이는 강우의 증가로 인해 물의 흐름과 콘크리 트 노면 사이의 마찰 저항 감소에 기인한 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 포장 경사가 높고 배수 거리가 짧을수록 배수성이 증가하여 마찰 저항의 지표인 조도계수가 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. 평균 조직 깊이에 따른 조도계수 영향의 경우, 평균 조직 깊이가 증가할수록 콘크리트 표면에 노출되는 표면적이 증가하여 수막두께가 얕게 생성되고, 얕은 수심으로 인해 물의 흐름 저항이 감소하여 조도계수는 감소하는 것으로 산정되었다. 이후 135개의 데이터를 종합하여 조도계수를 종속변수로 하고 강우강도, 포장경사, 배수거리, 평균 조직 깊이, 수막두께를 독립변수로 하는 회귀분석을 수행하여 조도계수 산정식을 개발하였다.

Load carrying capacity(LCC) can be reduced from its design value as a result of film thickness change when a journal is misaligned and some part of bearing is unintentionally translated. In this study, the numerical solution of the incompressible Reynolds equation was obtained by using the finite difference method and mass conservation algorithm (JFO boundary condition) with periodic pressure distribution in circumferential direction to analyze the change of LCC due to journal misalignment and step change of film thickness in axial direction for a journal bearing of vertical pumps. Smallest LCC in each eccentricity ratio is obtained as two angular positions are changed – an angular position where misalignment occurs, and another angular position where the axial step takes place while the degree of misalignment is fixed at 90%. Compared with the reaction force of plain journal bearing, the LCC reduced as much as 26.7% due to geometric effects of journal bearing at the eccentricity ratio of 0.9, while the step height is no higher than 0.1 times of bearing clearance.

We developed an Al sputtering process by varying the plasma power, process temperature, and film thickness. We observed an increase of hillock distribution and average diameter with increasing plasma power, process temperature, and film thickness. Since the roughness of a film increases with the increase of the distribution and average size of hillocks, the control of hillock formation is a key factor in the reduction of Al corrosion. We observed the lowest hillock formation at 30 W and 100 oC. This growth characteristic of sputtered Al thin films will be useful for the reduction of Al corrosion in the future of the electronic packaging field.

As film products are increasingly used in a wide range of areas, from producing traditional flexible packaging to high-tech electronic products, a higher level of quality is demanded. Most film products are made in the form of rolled finished goods, therefore, various quality issues related to their shape characteristics must be addressed. The thickness of the film products is one of the most common and important critical-to-quality attributes (CTQs). Particularly, the degree of thickness uniformity is more important than other thickness parameters, because it will be potential causes of many secondary thickness-related quality problems, such as wrinkles or faulty windings. To control the degree of thickness uniformity, the fixed bending region is oneof the most important CTQs to manage. Fixed bending regions are special points in the transverse direction of a rolled product with consistent minute variations of the thickness gap. This paper describes the measurement and analysis of thickness uniformity data, which were performed in a real manufacturing field of biaxial oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film. In previous researches, quality function deployment (QFD) or fault tree analysis were used to find the most critical process attributes out to controlthe CTQ of thickness uniformity. Whereas, this paper uses traditional control charts to find the most critical process attributes out in this problem. In addition, the selection of one of the major critical process attributes (CTPs) that is expected to affect the CTQ of thickness uniformity is also described. The selected critical-to-process attributes are the controlled temperatures along the transverse direction. A dramatic improvement in thickness uniformity was observed when the selected CTPs were controlled.

In this study, BaTiO3 thin films were grown by RF-magnetron sputtering, and the effects of the thin film thickness on the structural characteristics of BaTiO3 thin films were systematically investigated. Instead of the oxide substrates generally used for the growth of BaTiO3 thin films, p-Si substrates which are widely used in the current semiconductor processing, were used in this study in order to pursue high efficiency in device integration processing. For the crystallization of the grown thin films, annealing was carried out in air, and the annealing temperature was varied from 700˚C. The changed thickness was within 200 nm~1200 nm. The XRD results showed that the best crystal quality was obtained for ample thicknesses 700 nm~1200 nm. The SEM analysis revealed that Si/BaTiO3 are good quality interface characteristics within 300 nm when observed thickness. And surface roughness observed of BaTiO3 thin films from AFM measurement are good quality surface characteristics within 300 nm. Depth-profiling analysis through GDS (glow discharge spectrometer) showed that the stoichiometric composition could be maintained. The results obtained in this study clearly revealed BaTiO3 thin films grown on a p-Si substrate such as thin film thickness. The optimum thickness was 300 nm, the thin film was found to have the characteristics of thin film with good electrical properties.

Silicon based magnetostrictive structures were fabricated for micro-wireless actuators, and finite element models were developed to predict mechanical characteristics of the actuated structures. These structures can be used to design wireless automotive parts and multi-function packaged micro automotive devices. In the fabrication process, amorphous magnetostrictive films of the optimized binary compound Tb0.4Fe0.6 and Sm0.47Fe0.53 were deposited with various thicknesses on the silicon membrane by DC magnetron sputtering using cast composite targets. Magnetic fields lower than 2KOe (0.2T) were applied for micro-system applications. These films have been tested in a simple cantilever arrangement and the predicted magnetostrictions of the actuated membranes through the developed FE models have been calculated.

(Na, K) NbO3 thick film was successfully achieved using a sol-gel coating process with the addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to a metal alkoxide solution. The transparent coating solution, mixed with Nb:PVP = 1:1 in a molar ration, was synthesized by evaporating the solvent to over 62.5 wt%. Additive PVP increased the viscosity of the solution so that the coating thickness could be enhanced. The thickness of the (Na, K) NbO3 film assisted by PVP was ca. 320 nm at the time of deposition; this value is four times thicker than that of the sample fabricated without PVP. Also, due to PVP binding with the OH groups of the metal alkoxide, the condensation reaction in the film was suppressed. The crystalline size of the (Na, K) NbO3 films assisted by PVP was ca. 15 nm smaller than that of the film fabricated without PVP. After the sintering process at 700˚C, the (Na, K) NbO3 films were mainly composed of randomly oriented (Na, K) NbO3 phase of perovskite crystal structure, including a somewhat secondary phase of K2Nb4O11. However, by adding PVP, the content of the secondary phase became quite smaller than that of the sample without PVP. It was thought that the addition of PVP might have the effect of restraining the loss of potassium and that PVP could hold metalloxane by strong hydrogen bonding before complete decomposition. Therefore, the film thickness of the (Na, K) NbO3 films could be considerably advanced and made more crack-free by the addition of PVP.

Multi-source evaporation is one of the methods to improve the thickness uniformity of thin films deposited by evaporation. In this study, a simulator for the relative thickness profile of a thin film deposited by a multi-source evaporation system was developed. Using this simulator, the relative thickness profiles of the evaporated thin films were simulated under various conditions, such as the number and arrangements of sources and source-to-substrate distance. The optimum conditions, in which the thickness uniformity is minimized, and the corresponding efficiency, were obtained. The substrate was a 5th generation substrate (dimensions of 1300 mm × 1100 mm). The number of sources and source-to-substrate distance were varied from 1 to 6 and 0 to the length of the major axis of the substrate (1300 mm), respectively. When the source plane, the area on which sources can be located, is limited to the substrate dimension, the minimum thickness uniformity, obtained when the number of sources is 6, was 3.3%; the corresponding efficiency was 16.6%. When the dimension of the source plane is enlarged two times, the thickness uniformity is remarkably improved while the efficiency is decreased. The minimum thickness uniformity, obtained when the number of sources is 6, was 0.5%; the corresponding efficiency was decreased to 9.1%. The expansion of the source plane brings about not only the improvement of the thickness uniformity, but also a decrement of the efficiency and an enlargement of equipment.

Various thicknesses of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films were deposited on glass substrate using pulsed dcmagnetron sputtering with a cylindrical target designed for large-area high-speed deposition. The structural,electrical, and optical properties of the films of various thicknesses were characterized. All deposited AZO filmshave (0002) preferred orientation with the c-axis perpendicular to the substrate. Crystal quality and surfacemorphology of the films changed according to the film thickness. The samples with higher surface roughnessexhibited lower Hall mobility. Analysis of the measured data of the optical band gap and the carrierconcentration revealed that there were no changes for all the film thicknesses. The optical transmittances weremore than 85% regardless of film thickness within the visible wavelength region. The lowest resistivity,4.13×10-4Ω·cm-1, was found in 750nm films with an electron mobility (µ) of 10.6cm2V-1s-1 and a carrierconcentration (n) of 1.42×1021cm-3.

최근 아스팔트 혼합물의 VMA 혹은 그 외 다른 체적요소의 기준값을 대체하기 위해 유효아스팔트 함량(film thickness)에 대해 논의되어 왔다. 이들 중 일부는 유효 아스팔트 함량의 기준값을 제안하였으며, 일부는 새로운 개념 또는 계산 방법을 포함하는 새로운 모델을 즉, 인덱스 모델(index model) 또는 가상 모델(virtual model)을 소개하였다. 각각의 모델은 아스팔트혼합물의 체적특성을 설명하는데 있어서 형상, 크기 등 골재의 체적특성을 정량화하는 방법을 이용한다. 본 연구에서는 인덱스 모델과 가상 모델의 장점을 결합한 개선된 가상 모델 (modified virtual model)을 제안하였다. 개선된 가상 모델을 기존의 두 가지 모델과 비교평가하기 위하여 DASR 개념에 근거하여 제작된 총 8개의 혼합물을 대상으로 IDT 시험과 APA 시험을 수행하였다. 시험 결과, 아스팔트 혼합물의 공용성과 유효 아스팔트 함량의 관계를 계산함에 있어서 본 연구에서 제안된 가상 모델은 기존의 모델들에 비해 더 적절함을 알 수 있었다.

It is well known that the metallo- phthalocyanine (MPcs) are sensitive to toxic gaseous molecules such as NO2 and also chemically and thermally stable, Therefore, lots of MPcs have been studied for the potential chemical sensor for NO2 gas using quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) or electrical conductivity. In this study, ultra-thin films of octa(2-ethylhexyloxy)copper-phthalocyanine were prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett method and characterized by using UV-VIS absortion spectroscopy and ellipsometry. Transfer condition, and characterization of LB films were investigated and preliminary results of current-voltage(I-V) characteristics of these films exposed to NO2 gas as a function of film thickness and temperature were discussed.

박막 형 가스 센서의 막 두께가 가스 감지 특성에 미치는 영향을 단순화된 모델로부터 수식으로 유도하여 해석하였고, 그것을 SnO2와 CuO-SnO2 박막의 h2S 감응 특성에 대한 실험 결과에 적용하였다. 유도된 수식으로부터 박막 가스 센서의 가스 감지 특성은 가스의 박막 안으로의 확산성에 크게 의존하며, 그 가스 확산성은 박막의 두께, 가스의 센서 재료의 반응성, 작동 온도 등에 의해서 결정됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이 수식은 CuO-SnO2 박막의 h2S 감응 특성에 대한 실험 결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였고, CuO-SnO2 박막과 SnO2 박막의 서로 판이한 h2S 감응 특성에 대한 설명에 적용되었다. 이로부터, 일반적인 산화물 반도체식 가스 센서의 가스 감지 특성이 가스 확산성에 의해서 어떻게 지배되는가를 구체적으로 제안하였다.

We investigated the effect of PE film thickness on the modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) deastringency of ‘Sanggamdungsi’ (Diospyros kaki cv.) astringent persimmon at room temperature (25°C) and low temperature (-1°C). The fruits were individually packaged with PE film of which the thickness is 60, 80, 100, 115 or 130 μm and stored at room or low (-1°C) temperature. At room temperature, firmness shows the highest value (23.3-26.5) at 100 μm thickness. Top flesh browning and decay was monitored at 20 days after storage, and peel blackening and style-end softening was negligible at optimal thickness. Therefore, optimal film thickness of deastringency at room temperature is 80-100 μm. At this thickness, the astringency was removed after 5 days and the fruits can be distributed until 10 days after the MAP. At low (-1°C) temperature, firmness was maintained regardless of film thickness. However, the firmness is higher as the film is thicker. Top flesh browning and decay was not occurred even after 90 days after storage. Peel blackening and style-end softening was monitored at 90 days after storage. Off-flavor was monitored at 115 and 130 μm thickness. Therefore, optimal film thickness of deastringency at low (-1°C) temperature is 80-100 μm. At this thickness, the astringency was removed after 50 days and the fruits can be distributed until 80 days after the MAP.

HgI2의 경우 타 광도전체 물질(a-Se, a-Si, Ge, etc)등에 비해 X선 민감도가 우수하며, 낮은 인가전압에서 구동이 용이한 특성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 특징을 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 HgI2 (Mercury Iodide) 기반의 평판형 디지털 방 사선 광도전체 필름을 두께에 따른 구현에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 PVD(Physical Vapor Deposition)방법의 두꺼운 대면적 필름제조가 어려운 문제점을 해결하 기 위해 Screen printing 방법을 사용하였다. 바인더의 종류로는 PVB (Polyvinylbutyral)와 DGME (Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether)와 계면활성제 역할을 하는 DGMEA (Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether Acetate)로 제작하는 바인더를 사용하여 Screen Printing법을 이 용하여 각각의 다른 두께를 가지는 다결정의 HgI2 (Mercury Iodide) 필름을 제작하였다. 제작된 필름의 전기적 특성을 dark current, X-선 sensitivity와 SNR(Signal to -Noise Rate) 등을 측정하여 정량 적으로 평가 하였다. 그 결과 DG계 200um의 근사하게 제작한 HgI2 (Mercury Iodide) 필름의 전기적특성이 가장 좋 게 측정되었다. 얻어진 결과로 볼 때 HgI2 기반의 의료용 광도전체 필름은 기존의 a-Se(Amnorphous seleinum; a-se)를 이용한 디지털 방사선 광도전체 필름의 대체 적용에 대해 충분한 가능성을 보였다.
