Humans have the ability to perceive an object’s material and properties instantaneously, and use this information to prepare for future actions. Material perception is not only an important factor for humans but also for artificial intelligence robots that are being developed. In addition, material perception is one of the important design requirements in selecting materials suitable for the products desired by consumers and pursued by designers. Because it is impossible to perform material perception using an exact formula, it is determined from tendencies that are identified in surveys. In this study, surveys with a binary selection were conducted, presenting participants with pairs of bipolar adjectives and asking them to choose one of two. After multiple surveys were conducted all the data were merged. Before merging the data, to ensure the reliability of the data homogeneity and correlation were tested using hierarchical clustering, correlation coefficient, and k-means cluster analysis. Afterwards, the merged data was used to analyze universal and comparable perceptual qualities of various material classes using relative frequency and hierarchical cluster analysis.

In order to revitalize the marine leisure industry, researches on various leisure vessels have been widely conducted in Korea. In particular, in the field of leisure sports, researches and developments for improving the performance of high-speed motorboats are actively progressing. For reducing the weight of motorboats various composite materials are applied to the hull, and these composite materials must ensure structural safety. In this study, the material properties of composite materials applied to tunnel-type motorboats, used in the OSY(Outboard Stock Yamato)-400 race, were evaluated and the structural analysis was performed to examine the safety of the motorboat hull. Material tests were conducted according to Korean Industrial Standard and structural analysis of finite elements model of the motorboat hull was performed under longitudinal bending and torsional load conditions, respectively. By comparing the analysis results with the material test results, it was confirmed that the applied composite material meets the required strength.

The hydrogen embrittlement could lead to big damages in bolt/nut, fittings, especially, high pressure valve and high leak-proof valve and so on. Thus, special alloy, for instance, such as Monel and Inconel, is recently used to suppress the problems of hydrogen embrittlement in semiconductor facilities, FCEV(fuel cell electric vehicle) and hydrogen gas stations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics according to ratio change between drawing and extrusion of Monel material within elastic limit through numerical analysis. As the results, the possibility of plastic deformation in case of drawing was greater than that of extrusion. Consequently, the safety factor related to plastic deformation shows the results depending on the ratio change of force between drawing and extrusion.

Recently, Car weight reduction has become an important development goal to improve fuel efficiency. Car seat frame is a key part of the weight reduction. Existing steel seat frames have the advantages of high rigidity and durability, but have the disadvantage of heavy weight. Recently, Almag material, which are alloy of aluminum and magnesium, is attracting attention because of excellence in strength and weight reduction. At first, the core stiffness members of the seat frame are selected to optimize the weight of the seat frame. And then strength analysis and natural frequency analysis are performed for the existing steel seat frame and Almag seat frame. Based on these analysis results, optimal thickness of the Almag seat frame are determined by an automation program using a genetic algorithm.

In the development of eco-friendly vehicles such as electric vehicles, weight reduction has become a very important design target. Seat weight reduction is very important in vehicle weight reduction. In this study, the energy absorption characteristics of Almag material, an alloy of aluminum and magnesium, and mild steel SAFH440, SAFH590, SAFC780, and SAFH980 were analyzed to obtain a true stress versus true strain curve that was correlated with the test. By performing the seat frame structure analysis using the obtained analysis material property, it was possible to compare the deformation between lightweight material, Almag and mild steel materials. In addition, it was confirmed that the weight reduction effect was 25.8% when applying Almag, an equivalent lightweight material that gives the same maximum deformation as SAFH980, a high-strength mild steel.

PURPOSES : This study analyzes the accident damage scale of hazardous material transportation vehicles not monitored in real time by the Hazardous Material Transportation Safety (HMTS) management center. METHODS : To simulate hazardous-material transportation vehicle accidents, a preliminary analysis of transportation vehicle registration status was conducted. Simulation analyses were conducted for hazardous substance and flammable gas transportation vehicles with a high proportion of small- and medium-sized vehicles. To perform a spill accident damage-scale simulation of hazardous-substance transportation vehicles, the fluid analysis software ANSYS Fluent was used. Additionally, to analyze explosion accidents in combustible gas transportation vehicles, the risk assessment software Phast and Aloha were utilized. RESULT : Simulation analysis of hazardous material transportation vehicles revealed varying damage scales based on vehicle capacity. Simulation analysis of spillage accidents showed that the first arrival time at the side gutter was similar for various vehicle capacities. However, the results of the cumulative pollution analysis based on vehicle capacity exhibited some differences. In addition, the simulation analysis of the explosion overpressure and radiant heat intensity of the combustible gas transportation vehicle showed that the difference in the danger radius owing to the difference in vehicle capacity was insignificant. CONCLUSIONS : The simulation analysis of hazardous-material transportation vehicles indicated that accidents involving small- and medium-sized transportation vehicles could result in substantial damage to humans and ecosystems. For safety management of these small and medium-sized hazardous material transportation vehicles, it is expected that damage can be minimized with the help of rapid accident response through real-time vehicle control operated by the existing HMTS management center.

The constructed analysis material card was used in the specimen tensile finite element analysis, and the analysis result was able to obtain the stress to strain curve similar to the test result.

최근 인접국가인 일본에서 규모 7.6의 지진이 발생하였다. 이 지진은 대규모의 최초 지진 이후 120회 이상의 여진을 동반하여 지진의 위험성이 두각되었다. 실제로 구조물들은 최초 지진이후 항복하여 지속되는 여진에 의해서도 붕괴될 위험이 있기 때문에 지진 저항력을 향상시킬 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 자동복원이 가능한 신소재를 활용하여 지진에 의한 피해를 감소시키면서도 댐퍼와 구조물에 발생되는 잔류변위를 회복시킬 수 있는 자동복원 신소재 댐퍼를 제안한다. 이 댐퍼는 초탄성 형상기억합금과 폴리우레탄으로 구성되며 폴리우레탄에는 선행압축이 적용되어 그로 인한 반발력을 통해 회복특성을 증진시킨 다. 이에 대한 성능을 평가하기 위해 구조실험과 구조실험에 대한 수치해석을 진행하여 댐퍼의 회복특성, 하중특성을 확인하였 다. 또한, OpenSEES프로그램을 활용하여 구조물에 댐퍼를 적용시키고 실제 지진환경에 대한 수치해석을 수행함으로써 지붕변 위, 밑면 전단력 등의 응답을 구하여 자동복원 신소재 댐퍼의 우수성을 검증하였다. 이를 통해 자동복원 신소재 댐퍼를 구조물 에 적용하게 되면 국내 역대 지진 중 가장 규모가 큰 지진이 다시 발생하여도 구조물을 다시 회복할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Abstract Purpose : This study analyzed physical properties using 1,6-Hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) as an additive to improve functionality of hydrogel lens such as durability. It was checked whether HDDA can be applied as a crosslinking agent in place of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). Methods : Polymerization used thermal polymerization and photopolymerization methods, and HDDA was added to each polymerization method at a ratio of 1∼20%. Optical and physical characteristics of the manufactured lens were evaluated by measuring spectral transmittance, refractive index, water content, tensile strength, contact angle, and AFM. Results : Regardless of the polymerization method, the tensile strength ranged from 0.232~0.408 kgf/mm2 in thermal polymerization and from 0.146~0.429 kgf/mm2 depending on the addition ratio of HDDA. In addition, as a result of using HDDA instead of EGDMA, it was confirmed that the physical characteristics of the lens were similar to that of EGDMA, and in the case of tensile strength, HDDA was much improved. Conclusion : HDDA has been shown to be effective in improving the functionality of hydrogel lens and to improve stability and durability. In addition, it is believed that it can be used in various ways as an ophthalmic material as well as a photopolymerization crosslinking agent. Key words : Crosslinking agent, Tensile strength, 1,6-Hexanediol diacrylate, Hydrogel lens

PURPOSES : The wedge-type anchorage system requires a complex analysis of not only the tensile stress of the CFRP plate, but also the compressive stress and shear stress generated by the wedge action. The purpose of this study is to find a composite material failure theory that is suitable for analyzing the behavior of wedge-type anchorage system among various failure theories. METHODS : In this study, numerical analysis of various composite material failure theories was performed to analyze the anchorage strength and failure mode of the wedge-type anchorage system according to each failure theory, and compared with actual test results to determine the composite material failure theory most suitable for analyzing the behavior of a wedge-type anchorage system. RESULTS : Since the Maximum Stress failure theory shows similar results to the actual test in terms of failure mode and anchorage strength, there is no significant problem in applying it to the wedge-type anchorage system. However, it is judged to be difficult to apply under property conditions where interactions between stresses are highlighted. The Tsai-Hill and Tsai-Wu failure theories are considered unsuitable for application to wedge-type anchorage systems because the wedge angle conditions at which the most advantageous anchorage strength occurs are significantly different from other theories and the fracture type cannot be predicted. The Hashin-Rotem failure theory is considered to be the most appropriate to apply as a failure theory for the wedge-shaped anchorage system because the anchorage strength was slightly lower than the actual test results, but there was no significant difference, and the failure mode was consistent with the test results. The Hashin failure theory is judged to be unsuitable for application as a failure theory for the wedge-type anchorage system because the anchorage strength and failure mode were interpreted differently from the actual test results. CONCLUSIONS : The Hashin-Rotem failure theory was presented as the composite material failure theory most suitable for analyzing the behavior of wedge-type anchorage system.

The study used the whole-life carbon assessment method to conduct a thorough carbon-neutral evaluation of a standard steel structure. To further assess carbon emissions, 11 design-changed models were evaluated, with changes made to the span between beams and columns. The results of the carbon emission assessment showed savings of approximately 13.1% by implementing the stage of the beyond life cycle. Additionally, the evaluation of carbon emissions through design changes revealed a difference of up to 42.2%. These findings confirmed that recycling and structural design changes can significantly reduce carbon emissions by up to 48.6%, making it an effective means of achieving carbon neutrality. It is therefore necessary to apply the stage of beyond life cycle and structural change to reduce carbon emissions.
