In this paper, the thickness effect on the wrinkle-crease interaction behavior of corner-loaded creased square membranes was studied using geometrically nonlinear post-buckling analysis. The membranes were modeled using shell elements, and the meshes were seeded with semi-random geometrical imperfection to instigate the buckling deformation. Results indicated that the wrinkle-crease interaction behavior was significantly dependent on the membrane thickness. Both the global and local wrinkles developed earlier as the thickness decreased. It was also found that the wrinkling behavior depended on the initial deployment angle in which the local wrinkle initiation occurred earlier, while the global wrinkle formation was delayed as the angle increased.

본 논문에서는 Al-1%Si 박막금속배선에서 국부적 전류 크라우딩 효과 및 박막금속배선의 길이 에 따른 수명의 변화, 그리고 이층금속배선에서의 전계효과를 연구하였다. 전류 크라우딩 효과에 으한 박막금속 배선의 수명감소를 관찰하기 위해 넓은 도선과 좁은 도선이 반복적으로 연결되어 있는 구조의 금속배선과 톱니 형태의 금속배선을 제작하였다. 길이에 따른 박막금속배선의 수명변화를 연구하기 위 해 100, 400, 800, 1200 그리고 $1600mu$m의 길이를 갖는$ 3\mu$m 선폭의 박막금속배선을 각각 제작하였다. Al-1%Si 박막금속배선에 인가된 전류밀도는 3.5~4.5x106 A/cm2이었다. 이층금속배선에서 전계에 의한 수명의 변화를 살펴보기 위해 두 금속 배선 사이에 0, $\pm$30, $\pm$60V의 전계를 인가하고 상층 금속배선에 1.75x106 A/cm2 전류 밀도를 조사하였으며 발생한 결함 현상에 대한 분석은 광학현미경과 주사전자현미 경으로 관찰하였다. 주요 결론으로는 박막금속배선에서 전류 크라우딩 효과는 수명의 감소를 초래하며 박막금속배선의 길이가 증가함에 따라 수명은 급격하게 감소하다가 포화된다. 중첩된 이층금속배선에서 는 전계효과에 의한 금속배선의 수명감소현상이 가속된다.

저차원 나노구조인 자발형성 양자점은 그 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성으로 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 이미 양자점을 이용한 소자들의 우수성이 입증이 되고 있다. 그러나 양자점의 형성은 단결정 기판 위에서 Stranski-Krastanow 성장 방법을 통해 일어나기 때문에 성장표면에 존재하는 표면 계단구조 등의 국부적인 표면 불균일성에 의해서 모두 동시에 형성되는 것은 아니다. 표면 핵생성의 시간차에 의해 양자점의 크기 불균일성이 나타나게 되며 이는 양자점의 우수성을 저해하는 요인이 된다. 특히, 비정상적으로 크게 성장된 양자점은 내부에 전위 등의 결정결함을 내포하게 되고, 양자점의 우수한 광특성을 손상시키는 주 요인이 된다. 양자점의 우수한 광특성을 소자로 응용하기 위해서는 이러한 비정상적으로 큰 양자점이 없으면서 균일한 양자점을 성장하는 것이 매우 필요하다. 본 발표에서는 그 동안 본 연구실에서 제안한 새로운 양자점 성장 방법에 대한 소개를 하고자 한다. 유기화학금속화학성장(Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) 도중에 V족 소스가스인 $AsH_3$의 주입을 주기적으로 끊어 주는 새로운 성장 방법(Periodic Arsine Interruption; PAI)을 제안하였다. 이 방법을 통해서 비정상적으로 형성되는 큰 양자점을 완전히 제거할 수 있었다. $AsH_3$을 끊어주는 시간 동안에 표면에서 As의 탈착을 유도하여 표면을 In-rich 쪽으로 유도하였고, 이렇게 함으로써 성장 표면에너지를 높은 쪽으로 바꾸어 줌으로써 핵생성을 위한 표면 roughening이 시작되는 것을 억제하였다. 이렇게 함으로써 미리 핵생성이 되어 비정상적으로 크게 성장하는 양자점으로 억제하면서 거의 동시에 모든 양자점이 핵생성되게 유도하였다. $AsH_3$의 주입 방법의 변화에 따른 양자점의 형성 거동을 연구함으로써 PAI 의 메카니즘을 이해할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of circumferential location of local wall thinning defect on the collapse behavior of an elbow. Thus, the present study conducts three-dimensional finite element analysis on the 90-degree elbow containing a local wall thinning at intrados, crown and extrados of bend region and evaluates the collapse moment of wall thinned elbow under various thinning shapes and loading conditions. Combined internal pressure and bending moment are considered as an applied load. The internal pressure of $0\~20MPa$ and both closing and opening mode bending are employed. The results of analysis show that the reduction in collapse moment of the elbow by local wall thinning is more significant for a defect locating at crown than for a defect locating at intrados or at extrados. Also, the effect of internal pressure on the collapse moment of wall thinned elbow depends on the circumferential location of thinning defect and applied bending mode.

When a crystal is grown by FZ process, the melt zone is located at between the solid of upper and lower side and is kept by the solid-liquid interface tension. On the surface of the melt zone, a surface tension gradient is occured by the difference of temperature and solute concentration, it is the driving force of marangoni flow. The crystal even in the steady state growth can become imperfect for the dislocation distribution and the solute concentration in the peripheral region of the crystal are higher than those in the inner part and the probability of the formation of the defects such as voids, bubble penetration, secondary phase creation and crack is high near the solid-liquid interface. This is because the solid -liquid interface becomes irregular because of the local variation of temperature in that region due to marangoni convection.

This study summarizes the numerical analyses of a Ti alloy deformation under a back extrusion process. Amongst metallic parts in a small propulsion motor case, a Ti-6Al-4V alloy is used extensively. However, the Ti alloy shows a great deal of shear band formation which often leads to a fracture due to a narrow working temperature window. Moreover, the shear band tends to develop over an area where a contact occurs between the hot work piece and the die wall, due to localized cooling. Thus, heating the dies is often required to overcome the deformation localization. Therefore, it becomes necessary to investigate the internal temperature and strain rate distribution during forging process of a Ti alloy. Furthermore, a shear band analysis is peformed using a finite difference scheme and a comparison is made between steel and Ti alloy.

Concrete pavement may suffer from material deterioration or structural problems, which lead to surface cracks and deflection of a concrete pavement. Degraded concrete pavement, when it is still under operation, should be recovered by an urgent maintenance to avoid the discontinued service leading to the significant traffic problems and economic loss. Seismic techniques are good tools to assess the structural integrity of concrete runway. It is because seismic techniques can evaluate engineering properties nondestructively and quickly and the evaluation can be extended to subgrade. In this study, a series of numerical simulations of stress-wave propagation were performed to verify feasibility of seismic techniques as an assessment tool. Based on the results of the numerical simulation, a framework of using seismic techniques was presented fur the nondestructive integrated assessment fur structural integrity of concrete runway. And the presented framework was applied to $\bigcirc\bigcirc$ concrete runway with surface cracks, which required urgent maintenance, to identify the causes of the surface cracks. The results obtained from the structural integrity assessment were compared with the measurements of the cores collected from the same runway for verification of the presented framework.

This Paper proposes an adaptive error diffusioThis paper proposes an adaptive error diffusion algorithm for text enhancement followed by an efficient text segmentation that uses the maximum gradient difference (MGD). The gradients are calculated along with scan lines, and the MGD values are filled within a local window to merge the potential text segments. Isolated segments are then eliminated in the non-text region filtering process. After the left segmentation, a conventional error diffusion method is applied to the background, while the edge enhancement error diffusion is used for the text. Since it is inevitable that visually objectionable artifacts are generated when using two different halftoning algorithms, the gradual dilation is proposed to minimize the boundary artifacts in the segmented text blocks before halftoning. Sharpening based on the gradually dilated text region (GDTR) prevents the printing of successive dots around the text region boundaries. The error diffusion algorithm with edge enhancement is extended to halftone color images to sharpen the tort regions. The proposed adaptive error diffusion algorithm involves color halftoning that controls the amount of edge enhancement using a general error filter. The multiplicative edge enhancement parameters are selected based on the amount of edge sharpening and color difference. Plus, the additional error factor is introduced to reduce the dot elimination artifact generated by the edge enhancement error diffusion. By using the proposed algorithm, the text of a scanned image is sharper than that with a conventional error diffusion without changing background.

Acoustic emission (AE) is an effective nondestructive test that uses transient elastic wave generated by the rapid release of energy within a material to detect any further growth or expansion of existing defects. Over the past decades, because of environmental issues, the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) as an alternative fuel for vehicles is increasing because of environmental issues. For this reason, the importance and necessity of detecting defects on a CNG fuel tank has also come to the fore. The conventional AE method used for source location is highly affected by the wave speed on the structure, and this creates problems in inspecting a composite CNG fuel tank. Because the speed and dispersion characteristics of the wave are different according to direction of structure and laminated layers. In this study, both the conventional AE method and the energy based contour map method were used for source location. This new method based on pre-acquired D/B was used for overcoming the limitation of damage localization in a composite CNG fuel tank specimen which consists of a steel liner cylinder overwrapped by GFRP. From the experimental results, it is observed that the damage localization is determined with a small error at all tested points by using the energy based contour map method, while there were a number of mis-locations or large errors at many tested points by using the conventional AE method. Therefore, the energy based contour map method used in this work is more suitable technology for inspecting composite structures.
