This study deals with the yielding behavior and strain aging properties of three bake hardening steels with dualphase microstructure, fabricated by varying the annealing temperature. Bake hardening and aging tests are performed to examine the correlation of martensite volume fraction with yielding behavior and strain aging properties of the bake hardening steels with dual-phase microstructure. The volume fraction of martensite increases with increasing annealing temperature. Roomtemperature tensile test results show that the yielding behavior changes from discontinuous-type to continuous-type with increasing volume fraction of martensite due to higher mobile dislocation density. According to the bake hardening and aging tests, the specimen with the highest fraction of martensite exhibited high bake hardening with low aging index because solute carbon atoms in ferrite and martensite effectively diffuse to dislocations during the bake hardening test, while in the aging test they diffuse at only ferrite due to lower aging temperature.

In this study, the effect of tempering on the stretch-flangeability is investigated in 980 MPa grade dual-phase steel consisting of ferrite and martensite phases. During tempering at 300 oC, the strength of ferrite increases due to the pinning of dislocations by carbon atoms released from martensite, while martensite is softened as a consequence of a reduction in its carbon super-saturation. This strength variation results in a considerable increase in yield strength of the steel, without loss of tensile strength. The hole expansion test shows that steel tempered for 20 min (T20 steel) exhibits a higher hole expansion ratio than that of steel without tempering (T0 steel). In T0 steel, severe plastic localization in ferrite causes easy pore formation at the ferrite-martensite interface and subsequent brittle crack propagation through the highly deformed ferrite area during hole expansion testing; this propagation is mainly attributed to the large difference in hardness between ferrite and martensite. When the difference in hardness is not so large (T20 steel), on the other hand, tempered martensite can be considerably deformed together with ferrite, thereby delaying pore formation and hindering crack propagation by crack blunting. Eventually, these different deformation and fracture behaviors contribute to the superior stretch-flangeability of T20 steel.

The KVN(Korean VLBI Network)-style simultaneous multi-frequency receiving mode is demonstrated to be promising for mm-VLBI observations. Recently, other Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) facilities all over the globe start to implement compatible optics systems. Simultaneous dual/multi-frequency VLBI observations at mm wavelengths with international baselines are thus possible. In this paper, we present the results from the first successful simultaneous 22/43 GHz dualfrequency observation with KaVA(KVN and VERA array), including images and astrometric results. Our analysis shows that the newly implemented simultaneous receiving system has brought a significant extension of the coherence time of the 43 GHz visibility phases along the international baselines. The astrometric results obtained with KaVA are consistent with those obtained with the independent analysis of the KVN data. Our results thus confirm the good performance of the simultaneous receiving systems for the non-KVN stations. Future simultaneous observations with more global stations bring even higher sensitivity and micro-arcsecond level astrometric measurements of the targets.

본 논문은 Ni - Al2O3로 구성된 금속-세라믹 이종 입자복합재의 2차원 미세구조(microstructure) 생성과 미세구조 스케일 (scale)에 따라 정의되는 계층적 모델들의 역학적 특성 분석에 관한 내용이다. 이종 입자복합재의 미세구조는 수학적인 RMDF(random morphology description functions) 모델링기법을 복합재의 2차원 RVE(representative volume element) 영 역에 적용하여 생성하였다. 그리고 미세구조 생성에 필요한 가우스 함수들의 개수에 따라 미세구조의 계층적 모델을 정의하였다. 한편 임의 미세구조 내 금속과 세라믹 입자가 차지하는 체적분율(volume fraction)은 RMDF 함수의 레벨을 조정함으로서 설정하였다. RMDF기법에 의한 미세구조들은 가우스 함수들의 개수가 일정할지라도 랜덤하게 생성된다. 이렇게 랜덤 하게 생성되는 미세구조들을 2차원 보(beam) 모델에 적용하여 미세구조의 스케일에 따른 수직응력과 전단응력의 계층적 변 동을 수치 해석적으로 고찰하였다. 또한, 균열해석을 통해 RMDF의 랜덤성과 가우스 함수들의 개수가 균열선단에서의 응력 값에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다.

We fabricated dual-phase free-standing polymeric membrane for high performance CO2/N2 separation, introducing amphiphilic, CO2-philic copolymer via one-step free radical polymerization, or (2-[3-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]ethyl methacrylate)-graft-poly(oxyethylene methacrylate) (PBE). PBE filler partially interacts with Pebax polymer matrix to generate the interconnected CO2 philic network, exhibiting a microphase-separated, or dual-phase behavior in Pebax matrix. The performance of CO2/N2 separation was increased according to the PBE content, with the maximum selectivity at 5 wt%. The enhancement of Pebax/PBE CO2-philic membrane was attributed to the formation of CO2-philic channel consisting of ether oxygens and triazole groups. The best performance was CO2 permeability of 175.3 Barrer and CO2/N2 selectivity of 48.2.

Ce0.8Sm0.2O2–δ―Sm0.1Sr0.9Cu0.2Fe0.8O3–δ dual-phase membranes were prepared with one-pot method and citric acid sol-gel process. After calcination of the powder at 850 ℃, the dual-phase membranes were prepared by uniaxially pressing the powder. The dual-phase membranes were sintered at 1150 ℃ for 5h with heating/cooling rates of 2 ℃/min. The phase structure and microstructure of the sintered membrane were studied by XRD and SEM. Elemental analysis of the membrane surface and cross section was performed. The oxygen permeation fluxes of Cu-containing dual-phase membranes were evaluated in the temperature range of 800―950 ℃ with He and CO2 as the sweep gas.

High oxygen permeability and structural stability are required in the presence of high concentrations of CO2 for application of oxygen transport membrane in the oxy-fuel combustion process. MIEC membranes based on alkaline earth metal such as Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ have low CO2 stability. Carbonates were formed over the surface of membranes including alkaline earth metal in the presence of CO2 and oxygen permeation fluxes are deteriorated. In this work, dense dual-phase hollow fiber membranes were prepared by a phase inversion spinning and sintering process. The oxygen permeation fluxes of dual-phase hollow fiber membrane were evaluated at various temperatures.

본 연구에서는 LSCF/GDC (20 : 80 vol%) 복합 분리막 표면에 LSC/GDC (50 : 50 vol%) 활성층을 코팅한 후 활성층의 열처리 온도, 두께, 침투법을 이용한 STF 도입이 산소투과 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 활성층 도입은 복합 분리막의 산소 투과 유속을 급격히 증진시켰으며 이는 활성층 성분인 LSC/GDC (50 : 50 vol%)가 전자 전도성 및 표면 산소 분해 반응을 증진시켰기 때문이었다. 활성층의 열처리 온도가 900˚C에서 1000˚C로 증가한 경우, 산소 투과 유속은 증가하였고 이는 분리막과 활성층 사이 그리고 활성층의 결정입간 접촉이 증진하여 산소이온과 전자 흐름을 증진시켰기 때문으로 설명되었다. 코팅층의 두께가 약 10μm에서 약 20μm로 증가한 경우, 산소 투과 유속은 오히려 감소하였는데 이는 코팅층의 두께가 증가할수록 기공을 통한 공기 중의 산소 유입이 어려워지기 때문으로 설명되었다. 또한, 코팅층에 침투법을 이용하여 STF를 도입한 경우가 STF를 도입하지 않은 경우 보다 높은 산소 투과 유속을 보였는데 이는 도입된 STF가 산소 분해하는 표면 반응 속도를 촉진시키기 때문이다. 본 연구로부터 LSC/GDC (50 : 50 vol%) 활성층 코팅 및 특성 제어는 LSCF/GDC (20 : 80 vol%) 복합 분리막의 산소투과 증진에 매우 중요함을 확인하였다.

Dual-phase computed tomography (CT) angiography of the abdominal region showed early enhancement of the venous system during the arterial phase. This finding is considered a classic indication of hepatic arteriovenous fistula in CT angiography. This case report presents the clinical and diagnostic findings of hepatic arteriovenous fistula in four small breed dogs.

One of main benefits of a dual polarization radar is improvement of quantitative rainfall estimation. In this paper, performance of two representative rainfall estimation methods for a dual polarization radar, JPOLE and CSU algorithms, have been compared by using data from a MOLIT S-band dual polarization radar. In addition, this paper presents evaluation of specific differential phase (Kdp) retrieval algorithm proposed by Lim et al. (2013). Current Kdp retrieval methods are based on range filtering technique or regression analysis. However, these methods can result in underestimating peak Kdp or negative values in convective regions, and fluctuated Kdp in low rain rate regions. To resolve these problems, this study applied the Kdp distribution method suggested by Lim et al. (2013) and evaluated by adopting new Kdp to JPOLE and CSU algorithms. Data were obtained from the Mt. Biseul radar of MOLIT for two rainfall events in 2012. Results of evaluation showed improvement of the peak Kdp and did not show fluctuation and negative Kdp values. Also, in heavy rain (daily rainfall > 80 mm), accumulated daily rainfall using new Kdp was closer to AWS observation data than that using legacy Kdp, but in light rain(daily rainfall < 80 mm), improvement was insignificant, because Kdp is used mostly in case of heavy rain rate of quantitative rainfall estimation algorithm.
