PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to evaluate of the effect of thermal segregation reduction in asphalt paving using material transfer vehicles (MTVs). METHODS: Asphalt paving using MTVs was carried out, and the paved surface temperature was measured using an infrared camera. The amount of thermal segregation was estimated from temperature variations. RESULTS : The transportation of hot mix asphalt (HMA) using dump trucks caused temperature segregation that persisted in the paving surface if an MTV was not used. The average temperature variation was 8.58% in paved surfaces where an MTV was not used. However, the temperature variation was 3.10%, 2.86%, and 4.53% for the base layer, inter-layer, and surface layer, respectively, when an MTV was used. CONCLUSIONS: The use of an MTV in asphalt paving reduces thermal segregation approximately 2.3 times in an asphalt mat via a remixing process and also allows for a smoother work process because the paver never needs to stop to receive HMA. However, MTV equipment without pre-heating devices requires careful temperature control during the warm up process at the MTV during construction in the winter.

1시간 주기로 -35˚C에서 +125˚C까지의 온도 변화에 지배되는 Leadless Ceranic Chip Carriers(LLCC'S)의 Solder접합부에서 균열이 계면을 따라 일어났다. 이런 균열이 계면을 취약하게 하는 어떤 불순물에 의한 것이 아닌지를 Scanning Auger Microprobe(SAM)을 이용해 조사했다. 그 결과 계면을 따라 일어나는 균열이 계면의 산화에 의해 일어날 수 있다는 것이 발견되었고, 그에 따라 산화에 취약해진 계면을 따라 일어나는 이런 종류의 피로 파괴현상에 대한 모델을 제시했다.
