The AlSi10Mg alloy has garnered significant attention for its application in laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), due to its lightweight properties and good printability using L-PBF. However, the low production speed of the L-PBF process is the main bottleneck in the industrial commercialization of L-PBF AlSi10Mg alloy parts. Furthermore, while L-PBF AlSi10Mg alloy exhibits excellent mechanical properties, the properties are often over-specified compared to the target properties of parts traditionally fabricated by casting. To accelerate production speed in L-PBF, this study investigated the effects of process parameters on the build rate and mechanical properties of the AlSi10Mg alloy. Guidelines are proposed for high-speed additive manufacturing of the AlSi10Mg alloy for use in automotive parts. The results show a significant increase in the build rate, exceeding the conventional build rate by a factor of 3.6 times or more, while the L-PBF AlSi10Mg alloy met the specifications for automotive prototype parts. This strategy can be expected to offer significant cost advantages while maintaining acceptable mechanical properties of topology-optimized parts used in the automobile industry.

일반적인 택코트용 유화아스팔트는 도로 포장면에 살포되고 양생되는 과정에서 공사차량 및 포설장비 타이어에 쉽게 들 러붙어서 포장면의 코팅막 훼손과 같은 심각한 문제를 일으킬 뿐 아니라, 접착력과 전단강도가 약하여 상하 포장층간 부 착력 저하로 균열, 포트홀, 밀림과 같은 포장도로 조기 파손의 주요 원인이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 택코트 시공 후 양생시간을 현저히 단축시키고 공사차량 통행에 의한 접착 처리면 훼손을 최소화하여 아스팔트 포장의 조기 파손을 방지할 뿐 아니라, 포장체의 장기 공용성능을 크게 향상시키는 초속경성 타이어 미부착 택코트 유화아스팔트 개발과 이를 고속도로 현장에서 적용한 사례에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 해당 기술은 택코트 훼손방지 기능 외에도 폴리머가 함유된 아스팔트를 적용하여 부착강도가 매우 우수하며, 배수성 포장, SMA 포장, 교면 포장 등 특수포장의 공용성 증진효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 양생시간 또한 크게 단축되어 1액형 택코트의 경우 30분 이내에 양생이 되며, 양생 촉진제를 적용하는 2액형 택코트는 5분 내에 양생을 완료 시킬수 있어서, 시공시간 단축을 통한 조기 교통개방을 가능하게 한다. 해당 기술은 국토교통부 개질 유화아스팔트 품질기준인 RS(C)-PG70T 규격을 만족하였고, 타이어 부착률이 약 1.5% 대로 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 고속도로 현장 적용성 평가 결과, 양생시간이 5분 이내로 확인되었으며, 시공 후 현장 코어 시편 확인 결과, 택코트층이 잘 보전되어 있었으며, 포장층간의 결합력이 우수하게 유지되었다. 따라서 고속도로 뿐만 아니라 서울시와 같은 도심지 및 택코트의 충분한 양생시간을 확보하기 어려운 아스팔트 유지보수 공사에 본 기술을 적용하는 것은 매우 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

High-quality diamond films have attracted extensive attentions due to their excellent optical and electrical properties. However, several issues, such as random orientation, stress accumulation, and slow growth rate, severely limit its applications. In this paper, high-quality polycrystalline diamond films with highly ordered (100) orientation were prepared by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition. The effects of growth parameters on the microstructure, quality and residual stress of diamond films were investigated. Experimental results indicate that relatively high temperature at low methane concentration will promote the formation of (100) oriented grains with a low compressive stress. Optimized growth parameters, a methane concentration of 2% along with a pressure of 250 Torr and temperature at 1050 ℃, were used to acquire high growth rate of 7.9 μm/h and narrow full width at half maximum of Raman peak of 5.5 cm− 1 revealing a high crystal quality. It demonstrates a promising method for rapid growth of high-quality polycrystalline diamond films with (100) orientation, which is vital for improving the diamond related applications at low cost.

In this study, we examined dimensional changes in processing carbon fiber composites using a cost-competitive domestic high-speed router. Lacking temperature compensation features found in typical machines, it faces increased defect rates due to temperature fluctuations during processing. To mitigate this, we defined specific processing temperature conditions, established hole positions as distance references for various temperatures, and measured dimensional changes. This enabled us to calculate necessary dimensional corrections, minimizing thermal deformation.

Gamma imaging devices that can accurately localize the radioactive contamination could be effectively used during nuclear decommissioning or radioactive waste management. While several hand-held devices have been proposed, their low efficiency due to small sensors have severely limited their application. To overcome this limitation, a high-speed gamma imaging system is under development which comprises two quad-type detectors and a tungsten coded aperture mask. Each quad-type detector consists of four rectangular NaI(Tl) crystals with dimensions of 146×146 mm2 and 72 square-type photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). The detectors are placed in front and back to serve as scatter and absorber, respectively, for Compton imaging. In addition, a coded aperture mask was fabricated in rank 19 modified uniformly redundant array pattern and placed in front of the scatter for coded aperture imaging. The system offers several advanced features including 1) high efficiency achieved by employing large-area NaI(Tl) crystals and 2) broad energy range of imaging by employing a hybrid imaging combining Compton and coded aperture imaging. The imaging performance of the system was evaluated through experiments in various conditions with different gamma energies and source positions. The imaging system provides clear images of the source locations for gamma energies ranging from as low as 59.5 keV (241Am) to as high as 1,330 keV (60Co). The imaging resolution was within the range of 7.5–9.4°, depending on gamma energies, when a hybrid maximum likelihood estimation maximization (MLEM) algorithm was used. The developed system showed high sensitivity, as the 137Cs source at distance, incurring dose rate lower than background level (0.03 μSv/h above background dose rate), could be imaged in approximately 2 seconds. Even under lower dose rate condition (i.e., 0.003 μSv/h above background dose rate), the system was able to image the source within 30 seconds. The system developed in the present study broadens the applicable conditions of the gamma ray imaging in terms of gamma ray energy, dose rate, and imaging speed. The performance demonstrated here suggests a new perspective on radiation imaging in the nuclear decontamination and radioactive waste management field.

In this study, when a communication wire harness is defective due to long-term operation of a vehicle with a high-speed CAN communication network, the unique ID information of each controller and the oscilloscope waveform are analyzed to find defects. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to know whether the circuit of the main wiring was disconnected by the differential voltage analysis, and it was possible to confirm whether the sub-wiring was disconnected due to the generation of saw blade waveforms in the bus idle part. In addition, the fault location could be found with controller ID information and communication circuit analysis.

홍잠은 숙잠(熟蠶)을 수증기로 익혀서 인간이 섭취할 수 있도록 제조한 다양한 건강 증진 효과가 있는 천연 건강 식품이다. 현재 표준 제조 방법은 수증기로 찐 홍잠을 보관과 판매의 편의를 위하여 급속 냉동하여 동결 건조를 진행하는 것이다. 그런데, 홍잠을 동결 건조하는 과정은 많 은 시간과 비용을 필요로 하여 홍잠 제품 가격의 인상 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 홍잠을 수증기로 찐 후 바로 균질 액으로 제조하여 분무 건조하면 분말 제조 비용을 절감할 수 있음을 발견하였다. 그리고 홍잠 균질 액에 식용 단백질 분해 효소를 첨가하여 분해시킨 후, 단 1회의 분무 건조로 제품을 제조할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 특히 홍잠 균질 액이나 효소 분해 홍잠 균질 액은 바로 액상이나 젤리 형태로 일반 또는 환 자용 특수 의료 용도 식품에 활용이 가능함을 보여주었다. 본 연구에서는 생산비용이 감소된 홍잠의 가공 방법을 제안하며 이는 제품 생성의 단가 를 낮추어 제품의 대중화와 양잠 농가의 연관산업 육성을 불러올 것으로 기대된다.

Radiological characterization is important in decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear facilities, in order to assess the radioactivity concentration, classify the wastes, and secure workers’ safety. The Some components such as Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) in nuclear facilities has dose rate higher than Sv/hr, thus in-situ gamma spectroscopy systems suffer from a very high count rate which causes energy resolution degradation, photo-peak shift, and count loss by pile-up and dead-time. The system must be operated in a very high count rate, in order to measure spectra precisely and to quantify radionuclide contents. In order to apply in-situ measurement in high radiation dose rate environment, the sensor, front-end electronics, and data acquisition (DAQ) should be carefully selected and designed as well as precise design of collimators and radiation shield. In this paper, the components of the detector system were selected and performance was evaluated in a high count rate before design the collimator and shield. A LaBr3 coupled with a PMT having short decay time constant (16 nsec) was selected for high count rate application, and two different amplifiers (a conventional charge sensitive preamplifier with 50 usec decay time constant, and wide-band voltage amplifier) were tested. As DAQs, DT5781 (14 bit, 100 MS/s, CAEN) of Pulse Height Analysis (PHA) which is conventionally used signal processing method in the gamma spectroscopy, and DT5730 (14 bit, 500MS/s, CAEN) of Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) which is similar to Charge to Digital Convertor (QDC) were used. The number of photons incident to the detector was varied by changing the detector-source distance with Certificate Radiation Material (CRM), and compared to the output count rate. The count rate capability, and energy resolution with different amplifier and DAQ was evaluated. Additionally, the performance of DAQs in extremely high count rate was evaluated with signal data generated by the emulator which can simulate the detector signal waveforms fed into the DAQ based on the measured spectrum.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the road design elements affecting the lateral driving safety under high-speed driving conditions with a speed limit of 140 km/h and to derive useful implications to design of safer roads. METHODS : A full-scale driving simulator was used to evaluate the various design scenarios. Different regression techniques and a random forest method were adopted to conduct comprehensive comparisons among the simulation scenarios. The relationships between the safety indicators, including the frequency of the lane departures and the standard deviation of the lateral acceleration, and the design elements were explored in terms of lateral driving safety. RESULTS : The length of the combined alignment was found to be a significant factor affecting the lateral driving safety based on the analysis of the frequency of lane departures. Regarding the standard deviation of the lateral acceleration, it was identified that the length of the horizontal curve, the length of the bridge, and the right-side superelevation must be considered significant factors associated with driving safety while designing the road under high-speed driving conditions. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the findings of this study, a set of recommendations for designing roads was proposed. For example, the proper length of the combined alignment and the horizontal curve should be determined to prevent crashes due to hazardous lateral driving events because the installation of sufficient superelevation in the bridge section would be limited under high-speed driving conditions. In addition, applying a larger horizontal curve radius with longitudinal grooving is a promising approach to tackle risky driving conditions.

본 연구에서는 Froude 수 1.0, 길이 약 10 m 급 소형 고속선의 저항성능과 승선감을 향상시키기 위해 선미 끝단에 트림 탭을 부착하여 항주자세를 제어하였고, 트림 탭의 제원에 따른 성능을 확인하기 위해 CFD 해석을 수행하였다. 먼저 선행 연구로부터 수치 해석이 수행되는 스케일에 따라 결과에 차이가 있는 것이 확인되었고, 이를 피하고자 실선 스케일에서의 해석을 수행하였다. 부착된 트림 탭의 코드 길이는 LPP의 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 %였으며, 선저 면과의 각도는 5 간격으로 변화를 주었다. 트림 탭은 선박의 선미트림과 부상량을 감소시키는 효과가 있었으며, 이 효과는 트림 탭의 선저 면과의 각도가 클수록, 코드 길이가 길수록 증가하였다. 이로 인해 압력 저항은 감소하고 전단저항은 증가하였으며, 두 성분의 변화량에 따라 전 저항 저감율이 결정되었다. 결과로부터 대상 선박의 최적 항 주자세는 약 1.5 의 선미트림으로 특정되었고, 이때 저항성능은 약 27 % 개선되었다.

본 연구에서는 Froude 수 1.0으로 운항하는 길이 약 10m 급 소형 고속선박의 에너지 효율 설계를 위해 선미부에 트림 탭을 부착하였고, 선저 면과의 각도에 따른 항주자세와 저항성능의 변화를 살펴보았다. 성능 해석은 CFD 해석을 통해 수행되었으며, 축척에 의한 영향을 보기 위해 모형선과 실선에 대해 각각 해석을 수행 후 두 결과로부터 예측된 실선의 성능을 비교하였다. 나선에 대한 해석 결과는 두 결과가 전반적으로 유사하였고, 트림 탭이 부착된 경우 선저 면과의 각도가 동일할 때 자세 변화량이 달라 전 저항의 차이로 이어졌지만 자세에 따른 저항 변화 경향은 유사하였다. 이로부터 축척 효과가 있더라도 저항 저감 경향으로부터 최적 항주자세를 찾을 수 있으나, 트림 탭에 의한 자세 변화와 실선 주위 유동의 특성을 알기 위해서는 실선에 대한 직접적인 해석이 필요함을 알 수 있다.
