A $CO_2$ laser overlay was conducted by using a Fe-based powder on the AC2B aluminum substrate. Cracks and intermetallic compounds (IMC) were observed inconsistently along the interface between the overlay and post-molten layer. A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) detected some Fe-rich IMC ($Fe_3Al$, FeAl) as well as the brittle Al-rich IMC ($Fe_2Al_5,\;FeAl_3$). Micro vickers hardness proved the formation of Al-rich IMC ($FeAl_3$) along the interface by showing HV0.1 $800{\sim}900$. Furthermore, nano indentation was successfully applied to investigate the behavior of IMC more precisely than the micro vickers hardness.

일본 Sanyo 사에 의해서 획기적으로 HIT 태양전지가 개발된 바 있다. 이러한 HIT 태양전지는 기존의 확산-접합 Si 태양전지에 비해서 저비용 고효율의 장점을 갖는다: 22% 이상의 변환효율, $200^{\circ}C$ 이하의 공정온도, 낮은 태양전지 온도 의존도, 높은 개방전압. 한편 Sanyo사의 HIT 태양전지는 n-형 Si 웨이퍼를 이용한 반면에, 최근 미국 National Renewable Energy Laboratory는 p-형 Si 웨이퍼를 이용해서 변환효율 19% 대의 HIT 태양전지를 개발한 바 있다. 그 동안 지속적으로 p-형 Si HIT 태양전지를 고효율화하기(< 22%) 위해서 많은 노력이 진행되어 왔지만 이와 같은 노력에도 불구하고 아직 p-형 HIT는 n-형 HIT 태양전지에 비해서 다소 성능면에서 떨어져 있다. 본 연구는 n- 및 p-형 실리콘 웨이퍼로 구성된 HIT 태양전지의 물리적인 차이점에 초점을 맞추고, 결정 및 비정질 실리콘 층의 역할에 대해서 연구하였다. 특히 태양전지 효율을 향상시키는 요소들로서 결정 실리콘의 불순물 준위(n- 및 p-형) 또는 비저항, 비정질 실리콘으로 구성된 emitter 층, intrinsic 층, 경계면이 고려되었다. 그리고 이러한 요소들이 HIT 태양전지에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해서 AMPS-1D 컴퓨터 프로그램을 사용하였고, 이를 통해서 HIT 태양전지의 결정 및 비정질 실리콘 층의 역할을 물리적 정량적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구에 적용되는 HIT는 ITO/a-Si:H(p+)/a-Si:H(i)/c-Si(n)/a-Si:H(i)/a-Si:H(n+) 및 ITO/a-Si:H(n+)/a-Si:H(i)/c-Si(p)/a-Si:H(i)/a-Si:H(p+)의 구조로서 다음과 같은 태양전지 특성을 갖는다: n-형 HIT의 경우, fill factor ~ 0.78, 단락전류밀도 ~ 38.1 $mA/cm^2$, 개방전압 0.74 V, 변환효율 22.3 % (그리고 p-형 HIT의 경우, fill factor ~ 0.76, 단락전류밀도 ~ 36.5 $mA/cm^2$, 개방전압 0.69 V, 변환효율 19.4 %).

An interface always appears when a repair is applied to an aged infrastructure system for repair. These repaired structures have the high chance to fail along the interface because of the stress concentration/discontinuity along the interface. So, mechanical properties of the interface have much influence on the behavior of repaired structure systems. In this paper, numerical tool that can predict effectively the interfacial fracture behavior is developed using axial deformation link elements, and this numerical technique is applied to the interfacial failure behavior. The results coincide with the ultimate strength and failure profile on the interfacial behavior of carbon fiber sheets for strengthening with epoxy adhesion. Thus, the mechanical behavior of the interface up to failure can be predicted using numerical technique with the proposed axial deformation link elements.

The complete joining method for dissimilar press punch materials and its real-time evaluation method is not available at present. Brazing method has been used for joining them, but it is known that the welded joint by the brazing has the lower bonding efficiency and reliability than the diffusion welding. The friction welding with a diffusion mechanism in bonding was applied in this study. This work was carried out to determine the proper friction welding conditions and to analyze mechanical properties of friction welded joints of sintered carbide tool materials (SKNM50 for the blade part of press punch) to alloy steel (SCM440 for the shank part of press punch) using aluminum (A6061 for the interlayer material) as an insert material between the sintered carbide tool materials and the alloy steel. In addition, acoustic emission test was carried out during friction welding to evaluate the weld quality.

This paper presents a fast 3D mesh generation method using a surface based method with a stitching algorithm. This method uses the surface based method since the volume based method that uses 3D Delaunay triangulation can hardly deal with a large scale of scanned points. To reduce the processing time, this method also uses a stitching algorithm: after dividing the whole point data into several sections and performing mesh generation on individual sections, the meshes from several sections are stitched into one mesh. Stitching method prevents the surface based method from increasing the processing time exponentially as the number of the points increases. This method works well with different types of scanned points: a scattered type points from a conventional 3D scanner and a cross-sectional type from CT or MRI.

Some of the pressurized reactor pressure vessels used in many chemical plants are made of low alloy carbon steel plates internally clad with an austenitic stainless steel for improved anti-corrosion properties. In this study, metallurgic structure of the weld interface of A 387 Grade12Class1 low alloy carbon steel claded with A182-F321 austenitic stainless steel after thermal exposure simulation heat treatment was investigated to display a characteristic behavior of dissimilar metal weld interface with thermal exposure during service at high temperature and pressure. EPMA, STEM, vickers-hardness test were performed and the results were correlated with the microstructure. To estimate the depth of the carburized/decarburized bands quantitatively, a model for carbon diffusion was proposed. The validity of the proposed theoretical relationships was confirmed by the directly measured data from the welded parts failed during service.

This study deals with the friction weldability of machine structural carbon steel (SM45C) to Al-Mg-Si aluminium alloy (A6063). The bonding strength of friction welded joints, from all mechanical test, exceeded that of A6063 base metal, under the condition of friction time 1.5 sec, upset pressure 80MPa. The friction welded joints under these conditions exhibited tensile strength of 262MPa, bending angle of 90$^{\circ}$ without crack at weld interface and shear strength of 113MPa. Consequently, the friction weldability of SM4C to A6063 was very excellent, and that was possible without special preparation of weld surfaces.

This paper explored the characteristics of the interannual sea surface temperature (SST) variability in the equatorial Pacific by analyzing the simulated data from a newly coupled general circulation model (CGCM). The CGCM simulates well the realistic ENSO variability as well as the mean climatologies including SST, seasonal cycle, precipitation, and subsurface structures. It is argued that the zonal gradient of SST in the equatorial Pacific is responsible for the over-energetic SST variability near the equatorial western boundary in the model. This variability could also be related to the strong westward propagation of SST anomalies which resulted from the enhanced the zonal advection feedback. The simple two-strip model supports this by sensitivity tests. Analysis of the relationship between zonal mean thermocline depth and NINO3 SST index suggested that the ENSO variability is controlled by the recharge-discharge oscillator of the model. The lead-lag regression result reveals that heat buildup process in the western equatorial Pacific associated with the increase of the barrier layer thickness (BLT) is a precedent condition for El $Ni\widetilde{n}o$ to develop.

This paper dealt with numerical analysis of sand drain considering the smear effect around drain wells and discontinuous deformation behavior due to difference in rigidity between drain materials and adjacent clayey soils. Biot's equation was selected as governing equation coupled with MODCAM (Modified Cam-clay) model or EVP(Elasto-Viscoplastic) model as constitutive equation. The validity as well as the accuracy of the method developed by author was checked by comparing the proposed method with those by Siriwardane and Ghaboussi using joint element. The FEM analysis developed in this study was applied to both 2-dimensional model foundation and actual foundation. the result of which proved to be satisfactory.

The purpose of this study is to provide analytical method to reasonably evaluate the complicated failure behaviors of shear friction of reinforced concrete shear wall specimens using grade 500 MPa high-strength bars. A total of 16 test specimens with a variety of variables such as aspect ratio, friction coefficient of interface in construction joint, reinforcement details, reinforcement ratio in each direction, material properties were selected and the analysis was performed by using a non-linear finite element analysis program (RCAHEST) applying the modified shear friction constitutive equation in interface based on the concrete design code (KCI, 2012) and CEB-FIP Model code 2010. The mean and coefficient of variation for maximum load from the experiment and analysis results was predicted 1.04 and 17% respectively and properly evaluated failure mode and overall behavior characteristic until failure occur. Based on the results, the analysis program that was applied modified shear friction constitutive equation is judged as having a relatively high reliability for the analysis results.
