Reversible solid oxide cells (rSOCs), which enable two-way conversion between electricity and hydrogen, have gained attention with the rise of hydrogen energy. However, foam-type current collectors in rSOC stacks exhibit poor structural controllability and limited electrode contact area. To address these limitations, this study aimed to convert spherical cobalt powders into flake-type morphology via high-energy ball milling, as a preliminary step toward fabricating flake-based current collectors.Milling parameters—specifically, the ball-to-powder ratio (BPR), milling time, and process control agent (PCA) content—were varied. At an 8:1 BPR, over 90% of the powder became flake-shaped after 8 hours, while extended milling caused cold welding. In contrast, a 10:1 BPR resulted in dominant fragmentation. The Burgio–Rojac model quantified energy input and defined the optimal range for flake formation. Increasing the PCA to 4 wt% delayed flake formation to 16 hours and induced cold welding, as shown by bimodal particle size distributions. These results support the development of Co-based current collectors for use in rSOCs.

Ear clamps are components used to securely fasten pipes and hoses in various industrial applications. They achieve clamping force by inducing plastic deformation at the ear region during installation, which can lead to accumulated structural damage and affect fatigue life. Moreover, the fatigue life is influenced by the design shape of the ear. Therefore, in this study, tensile and fatigue tests were conducted on two types of ear clamps with different ear geometries. Finite element analysis (FEA) was performed to obtain the stress distribution around the ear region, and these results were correlated with the experimentally obtained fatigue life. Based on this correlation, an S-N curve for simulation-based fatigue life estimation was established. This approach confirms the possibility of predicting the fatigue life of ear clamps with modified geometries using only finite element analysis, without the need for repeated fatigue testing.

In this study, for the design of the impeller and volute casing shape of the water pump for flood prevention, performance was predicted through numerical analysis to secure the theoretical power and hydraulic efficiency of the front well at the discharge well 300m3/h, which is the target design specification, and the flow characteristics of each flow rate were checked and verified. Through the results of this flow analysis, it was possible to secure the basic shape design of the impeller and volute casing of the water pump for flood prevention. In the future, we will perform an interpretation to confirm structural safety according to shape and material.

As high-speed trains operate on both high-speed and conventional lines, wheel-rail interface characteristics have become increasingly important for effective wheel-rail wear management and operational safety. This study compared and analyzed interface characteristics for various combinations of wheels used in high-speed vehicles with various rail configurations, including UIC, KS50, and KS60, to determine the optimal combination. The results were calculated and analyzed for rolling radius differences, equivalent conicity, and wheel-rail contact area characteristics in response to lateral axle displacement. Changes in equivalent conicity and wheel-rail contact area as wear progressed were also analyzed.

본 연구는 철계 형상기억합금(Fe-SMA)의 화재 후 성능과 화재 후 구조물의 성능 회복을 위한 프리스트레싱 재료로서의 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 사전변형률이 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%인 Fe-SMA 시편을 최대 가열 온도 400°C, 500°C, 600°C, 700°C 까지 가열한 뒤 냉각 및 인장시험을 수행하였다. 가열 및 냉각 과정에서의 온도–응력 이력 분석 결과, 사전변형률이 높을수록 가열 중 좌굴이 지연되고 냉각 후 더 큰 회복응력이 발현됨을 확인하였다. 특히 7.5% 사전변형률 시편은 500°C 이상에서 500 MPa 이상의 회복응력을 보였으며, 강성 저하 시점의 응력 또한 400°C에서 793 MPa, 700°C에서 735 MPa로 세 조건 중 가장 큰 값을 나타냈다. 2.5%와 5.0% 시편은 600°C 및 700°C에서 5∼10% 더 큰 극한변형률을 나타냈으나, 7.5% 시편은 보강재로서 충분한 극한변형률을 확보함과 동시에 강성 저하 시 더 큰 응력을 유지하여 화재 후 보강재로 사용되기에 가장 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구는 500°C 이상의 고온에 노출된 Fe-SMA의 회복응력과 기계적 특성 데이터를 제공함으로써 기존 연구의 공백을 보완하였고, Fe-SMA가 화재 후 구조물 피해 저감과 성능 회복에 기여할 수 있는 보강재로서의 잠재력을 제시하였다.

The development of high-performance metal filters is essential for maintaining ultra-clean environments in semiconductor manufacturing. In this study, cross-sealed honeycomb filters were fabricated using STS316L powder via material extrusion additive manufacturing (MEAM) for semiconductor gas filtration. The effects of filter geometry (4 or 9 channels) and sintering temperature (850°C, 950°C, or 1,050°C) on performance were examined. First, 4-channel and 9-channel filters sintered at the same temperature (950°C) exhibited similar porosities of 50.08% and 50.57%, but the 9-channel filter showed a higher pressure-drop (0.26 bar) and better filtration-efficiency (3.55 LRV) than the 4-channel filter (0.19 bar and 3.25 LRV, respectively). Second, for filters with the same geometry (4-channel) increasing the sintering temperature reduced porosity from 64.52% to 40.33%, while the pressure-drop increased from 0.13 bar to 0.22 bar and filtration-efficiency improved from 2.53 LRV to 3.51 LRV. These findings demonstrate that filter geometry and sintering temperature are key factors governing the trade-off between air permeability, pressure-drop, and filtration efficiency. This work provides insights and data for optimizing MEAM-based high-performance metal powder filter design.

In this study, the shape of the exterior, not the inside of the product, was modified. Various exterior shape change plans were compared and reviewed through injection molding analysis, and among them, the most effective shape for suppressing warpage deformation was derived. The shape of the product was modified to optimize the bending deformation of the cover located at the top of the automobile battery case. The analysis was conducted under a total of three conditions, each of shape A, which is a rectangular parallelepiped shape at the top of the product, and shape B, which is concave on the side of the product. As a result of the study, both shape A and shape B were reduced compared to the amount of bending deformation of the original shape. Among them, shape B2, which showed the largest reduction, decreased by 82.096% from the amount of bending deformation of the original shape.
