The solar cell electrical output parameters such as the open circuit voltage($V_{oc}$) and short circuit current density($V_{sc}$) are intrinsic characteristics depending on junction depth, doping concentration, metal contacts barriers and cell structure. As a role of thumb for solar cell design, the metal contact barriers for phosphorus doped emitter should have lower work function in order to provide lower series resistance. The fabrication of PESC(passivated emitter solar cell) structure usually involves the use of titanium as a metal contact barrier. Chromium, which work function is similar to titanium but conductance is higher than titanium is being investigated as the new metal contact barrier. Although titanium has lower work function difference than chromium, the electric performances of chromium as contact barrier are higher than titanium. This better performance is attributed to the lower resistivity from chromium. This paper, therefore, compares the attributes of metal barrier contacts using titanium and chromium.

현재 대부분의 산업용 열기관은 효율을 높이기 위하여 연소에 사용되는 공기를 예열하는 방법을 사용한다. 하지만, 산업용 열기관에서 평균적으로 발생되는 $1000^{\circ}C$ 이상의 배기가스는 일반 금속 열교환기에는 적합하지 않다. 이에 반해 세라믹 열교환기의 경우 고온에서 견디는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기본적인 열교환기 설계 이론을 이용하여 설계프로그램을 제작하였다. 또한 세라믹 열교환기 내 열 유체 거동을 CFD 상용코드인 FlUENT 6.2를 이용한 전산해석을 수행하여 설계결과를 비교 검증하였다. 설계 결과에서 휜의 형태 변화에 따라 열전달율과 온도구배는 무시할 수 있을 정도로 작았으나, 압력강하는 크게 변동되는 결과가 도출되었다. 제한된 모듈 크기에서 휜 간거리는 휜의 두께에 비해 약 3배 이상 클 경우가 적당하며, 판(plate)의 두께는 작을수록 압력손실이 적고, 열전달율이 상승하지만 두께가 너무 얇게 된다면 제작상의 어려움이 생긴다. 향후 연구에서는 단순한 구조에서 벗어나 off-set이나 판형구조를 고려하여 설계함으로서 열전달 면적을 넓히거나 난류유동을 발생시켜 열전달율을 높이는 연구를 진행 할 필요가 있다.

In the composite case, the first ply failure is considered total failure of the case. When the case is constructed by filament winding over a metal liner, the first ply failure does not necessarily mean total failure of the case. In this study, we compared the results through finite element analysis and burst test to predict the burst pressure of the hybrid case (filament-wound composite case with metal liner). Through it predicts the burst pressure of the hybrid case, we can determine the thickness of the metal liner and composite.

화학적 가공이란 화학적 절식이라고 말할 수 있는 방법으로서 주조 또는 공작기계에 의한 절삭 가공대신에 약품에 의한 용해작용을 이용해서 성형품을 만드는 방법이라 할 수 있다. 이 방법은 금속자의 눈금의 조각이나 프라스틱 제품에 눈금을 넣는 금형등에 이용되고 있다. 이는 원래 항공기공업방면에서 중용되어 개발된 기계가공에 대응하는 방법이다. 크기나 정밀도에 있어서 주조(die casting)가 부적당한 경우 혹은 모양이나 능률에 있어서 기계절삭에 의하는 것이 부적 당한 경우에는 이 방법이 이용된다. 최근에 와서는 항공기기계제작 분야에 있어서의 알루미늄의 표면가공뿐만 아니라, 자동차, 건축부분의 구조부품의 성형분야에도 진출하는 경향이 있으며 가 공대상금속도 실용금속일반에 걸쳐 확대되어 감으로써 가장 용도가 넓은 철강류에 확대되어 감 으로써 가장 용도가 넓은 철강류에 까지도 응용되어 가는 실정이다. 이와 같이 종래의 기계적인 수단이 유일한 방법이라고 생각되었던 금속가공분야에 있어서 이러한 화학적 가공법이 도입되 었다는 것은 십분주목할만 한 가치가 있다. 이 화학적 가공법의 특징을 종래의 기계가공법과 비교하면 다음과 같다. (1) 피가공판의 크기는 이를 수용하는 가공조의 용량에 따라 제한될뿐이며 어떠한 대형 물이라도 가공 가능하다. (2) 가공모양은 자유롭게 설계할 수 있고 더욱이 1매 금속 판에서 1공정으로서 복잡한 모양으로 성형할 수 있다. (3) 따라서 이작업에서는 리벳팅, 용접등의 부대작업을 필요로 하지 않는다. (4) 그 가공면은 일반으로 평활하고 마루리 연마공정을 생략할 수 있다. (5) 가공조작이 간편하여 특별한 숙련을 요하지 않고 설비도 가공조의에는 별로 고가의 기기류가 필요치 않다. (6) 이상과 같은 이유에서 본법의 가공비는 기계가공에 비해서 일반적으로 저렴하다. Symposium보고및 전문서가 많이 있으나 여기에는 중요한 몇가지만 소개한다.

The Korea Radioactive Waste Agency (KORAD) has developed a dual-purpose metal cask for the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel that has been generated by domestic light-water reactors. The metal cask was designed in compliance with international and domestic technology standards, and safety was the most important consideration in developing the design. It was designed to maintain its integrity for 50 years in terms of major safety factors. The metal cask ensures the minimization of waste generated by maintenance activities during the storage period as well as the safe management of the waste. An activation evaluation of the main body, which includes internal and external components of metal casks whose design lifetime has expired, provides quantitative data on their radioactive inventory. The radioactive inventory of the main body and the components of the metal cask were calculated by applying the MCNP5 ORIGEN-2 evaluation system and by considering each component's chemical composition, neutron flux distribution, and reaction rate, as well as the duration of neutron irradiation during the storage period. The evaluation results revealed that 10 years after the end of the cask's design life, $^{60}Co$ had greater radioactivity than other nuclides among the metal materials. In the case of the neutron shield, nuclides that emit high-energy gamma rays such as $^{28}Al$ and $^{24}Na$ had greater radioactivity immediately after the design lifetime. However, their radioactivity level became negligible after six months due to their short half-life. The surface exposure dose rates of the canister and the main body of the metal cask from which the spent nuclear fuel had been removed with expiration of the design lifetime were determined to be at very low levels, and the radiation exposure doses to which radiation workers were subjected during the decommissioning process appeared to be at insignificant levels. The evaluations of this study strongly suggest that the nuclide inventory of a spent nuclear fuel metal cask can be utilized as basic data when decommissioning of a metal cask is planned, for example, for the development of a decommissioning plan, the determination of a decommissioning method, the estimation of radiation exposure to workers engaged in decommissioning operations, the management/reuse of radioactive wastes, etc.

Composite sandwich structure can improve the specific bending stiffness significantly and save the weight nearly 30 percent compared with the composite laminates. However, it has more inherent uncertainties of the material property caused by manufacturing process than metals. Therefore, the reliability-based probabilistic design approach is required. In this paper, the PMS(Probabilistic Margin of Safety) is calculated for the simplified fuselage structure made of composite sandwich to provide the probabilistic reasonable evidence that the classical design method based on the safety factor cannot ensure the structural safety. In this phase, the probability density function estimated by CMCS(Crude Monte-Carlo Simulation) is used. Furthermore, the RBDO(Reliability-Based Design Optimization) under the probabilistic constraint are performed, and the RBDO-MPDF(RBDO by Moving Probability Density Function) is proposed for an efficient computation. The examined results in this paper can be helpful for advanced design techniques to ensure the reliability of structures under the uncertainty and computationally inexpensive RBDO methods.

The exhaustion of fossil fuels and serious environmental pollution put the concern about non-po llution energy into the world. On the developments of technology, wind energy has been spotlighted as a non-pollution energy in many countries. This study has carried out the aerodynamic and structural design procedure of the lightweight composite rotor blades with an appropriate aerodynamic performance and structural strength for the 500㎾ medium class wind turbine system. The previous design, which is shell-spar structure, is redesigned to shell-spar- sandwich structure for light weight. Large deformation problem from light weight is examined by non-linear analysis. Local buckling occurred under lower stress than failure stress. The buckling analysis is accomplished to confirm the safety of the composite blade. The stress analysis around pin hole joint part at hub is carried out and it is confirmed that the pin hole is not failed. The results show that the resonance of redesigned blade does not happen in operation range.

This paper introduces a novel horn antenna for circular polarization using a planar-type radiator. This antenna can be divided to two parts, microstrip antenna and square horn. The microstrip antenna has the role of feeder and polarizer of the horn antenna, and it is designed to stacked type having metal spacer for high gain, high isolation and wideband characteristic. Using the proposed antenna structure, the horn antenna needs not additional structure such as feeder and polarizer, and the size of it can be considerably reduced. The horn antenna has typical gain of 8dBi and 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidth around 4.9%.This antenna can widely used for various antenna system for mobile and satellite communication using circular polarization expecially in high frequency band.
