Porosity in polymer matrix composites increases rapidly during thermochemical decomposition at high temperatures. The generation of pores reduces elastic moduli and failure strengths of composite materials, and gas pressures in internal pores influence thermomechanical behaviors. In this paper, micromechanical finite element analysis is carried out by using two-dimensional representative volume elements for unidirectionally fiber-reinforced composites with porous matrix. According to the state of the pores, effective elastic moduli, poroelastic parameters and failure strengths of the overall composites are investigated in detail. In particular, it is confirmed that the failure strengths in the transvers and through-thickness directions are predicted much more weakly than the strength of nonpored matrix, and decrease consistently as the porosity of matrix increases.

Porosity in polymer matrix composites generated during pyrolysis process affect the thermomechanical behavior of the composites. In this paper, multislice finite element models for the porous composite materials are developed, and poroelastic and failure analysis for these models are performed. In order to investigate the three-dimensional effects, finite element meshes are modeled considering different porosity(up to 0.5) and the number of slices (up to five). As a result, effective Young's moduli and poroelastic parameters exhibit the maximum differences of 74.0% and 442.1% with respect to porosity respectively, and 98.7% and 37.2% with respect to the number of slices. First and last failure strengths are decreased 88.2% and 90.0% with respect to porosity respectively, and 53.8% and 171.8% with respect to the number of slices.

In the vacuum assisted RTM (VARTM) process that has become the center of attention for manufacturing massive composite structures, a good evacuation of air in the fiber preform is recognized as the prime factor. The microvoids, or the dry spots, are formed as a result of improper gate/vent locations and the mold geometry. The non-uniform resin velocity at the flow front leads to the formation of microvoids in the fibers, whereas the air in the microvoids can migrate along with the resin flow during mold filling. The residual air in the internal voids of a composite structure may cause a degradation of the mechanical properties as well as the structural failure. In this study, a unified macro- and micro analysis methods were developed to investigate the formation and transport of air in resin during VARTM process. A numerical simulation program was developed to analyze the three-dimensional flow pattern as well as the macro- and microscopic distribution of air in a composite part fabricated by VARTM process.

The size, morphology and distribution of pores which affect on the physical properties of thermal barrier coatings were investigated to find the relationship with spraying parameters. The plasma-sprayed zirconia coatings contained numerous micropores as well as macropores which were appeared as spherical and irregular pores, and cracks. The pore formation process and its characteristics were varied with spraying distance. Porosity itself was varied with spraying parameters such as spray gun current, gas flow rate and the gas used(Ar or $N_2). The Porosity of coatings was ranged from 10 to 18% with the variation of spraying conditions. The relative hardness measured by the scratch test, showed strong dependence on the porosity of coatings rather than spraying parameters.

This experiment was carried out to study in stomatal behaviour of wheat (Chokwang) upon the different soil water potentials, lodging and two different nitrogen treatment. Stomatal aperture was measured at flowering stage under diurnal course with two hour intervals, Stomatal apertures were differently changed according to soil water potentials and leaf position on the stem, showing the rapid closure of stomata at low soil water potential and the narrow opening at low leaf position of stem. Wider stomatal opening appeared at the plot of optimal nitrogen application than that of low nitrogen. It was greatly decreased in opening of stomata at plants lodged, appearing that plant investigated of six days after lodging showed less than 50% than that normal plants, which indicated peculiar decrease of low leaf position of stem at afternoon of diurnal course.

In this study, the fabrication conditions of CFRP rebar were controlled to derive the correlation between flexural strength and pore characteristics. The fabrication conditions of CFRP rebar were adjusted for presence or absence of rib, resin temperature, and curing furnace temperature. Flexural strength and pore characteristics of fabricated CFRP rebar were analyzed. The flexural strength of CFRP rebar was changed depending on the fabrication condition, such as the presence or absence of rib, the resin temperature, and the curing furnace temperature. It was confirmed that the flexural strength of CFRP rebar was significantly lowered when the rib was not wound. As a result of Nano X-ray CT analysis, the max. pore diameter was shown in CFRP rebar prepared at a resin temperature of 60℃. According to optical microscopic analysis, the maximum porosity was 6.89% in No. 1, and the minimum porosity was 2.88% in No. 7. The correlation coefficient between porosity used optical microscopy and flexural strength was -0.64, which was higher than the correlation coefficient between porosity or pore size used Nano X-ray CT and flexural strength.

The RFI process is an OoA process that fiber mats and resin films are laminated and cured in a vacuum bag. In case that resin film is insufficient to fill empty space in fibers, it makes void defect in composites and this void decrease mechanical properties of the composites. For this reason, non-destructive testing is usually used to evaluate void of manufactured composites. So, in this study, a manufacturing method of standard void specimens, which are able to be used as references in non-destructive testing, was proposed by controlling resin film thickness in the RFI process. Also, a fiber compaction test was proposed as a method to set the resin film thicknesses depending on target voids of manufacturing panels. The target void panels of 0%, 2%, and 4% were made by the proposed methods, and signal attenuation depending on void was measured by non-destructive testing and image analysis. In addition, voids of specimens for tensile, in-plane, short beam and compressive tests were estimated by signal attenuation, and mechanical properties were evaluated depending on the voids.

Anode 지지형 SOFC의 Anode 지지층 제조에 있어 Ni의 입성장이 일어나면 전극의 반응면적이 줄어들어 전기전도도가 감소되므로 소결체의 제조공정이 매우 중요하다. 기공형성제의 함량이 증가할수록 기공율도 증가하였고 기공체의 함량이 20%를 넘어가면서 기공율은 오히려 줄고 밀도도 감소하였다. Anode 지지체는 $1200^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 열처리하여야 입자간 소결이 이루어지며 승온 속도를 $2.5^{\circ}C$ 유지하여 20% 수준의 기공률을 형성하였다. 소결한 음극지지체를 환원하였을 때 35%수준의 개기공을 형성하였고 전해질과의 접착성도 우수하였다.

수정된 기체투과법을 이용하여 다공성 지지체의 기공크기를 평가하였다. 본 연구에서의 수정된 기체투과법은 기공 내에서 유체흐름이 Hagen-Poiseiulle 법칙이 성립하는 영역으로 압력을 조절하여 투과유량을 측정하는 방법을 말한다. 수정된 기체투과법의 적합성 여부는 유체의 Reynolds number 및 기체분자의 평균자유행로를 통해 검토하였다. 다공성 지지체의 유량의 시간변화로부터 대표치를 결정하여 기공크기로 환산하였다. 본 방법에 의해 평가된 다공성 지지체의 기공크기는 30$\mu\textrm{m}$~80$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이었으며, 평균치는 50$\mu\textrm{m}$로 평가되었다. 한편 화상해석법과 비교.분석한 결과 수정된 기체투과법을 통해 평가된 기공은 내부채널의 가장 작은 부분을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다.

알루미늄합금의 용도가 우주 항공기 부품에서 자동차, 선박, 건축 등 다양화되면서 이들 재료에 대한 용접기술 또한 산업현장의 주요한 과제로 등장하게 되었다. 알루미늄합금은 극히 활성이 높고, 열전도율이나 열팽창계수가 매우 큰 물리적 특성 및 액상과 고상간의 매우 큰 수소 용해도 차이 등의 특이한 성질을 가지고 있기 때문에 용접에 있어서는 기공이나 미세한 융합 불량이 발생하기 쉽고, 또 용접변형의 제어에도 세심한 배려를 요하는 등 우수한 용접부를 만들기 위해서 고려해야 할 문제를 가지고 있다. 특히 기공이 후판 알루미늄 합금 용접에 있어서 보수공사의 대부분을 차지하고 있으므로 기공 방지법을 확립하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 알루미늄 합금의 용접에 있어서 기공의 발생원인은 수소에 의한 것이라고 정립되어 있으나 그 방지법에 대해서는 많은 연구검토가 행해지고 있음에도 불구하고 수소의 공급경로가 매우 다양하고 복잡하기 때문에 아직 체계적으로 확립되어 있지 못한 실정이다. 본 해설에서는 후판 알루미늄 용접시 가장 큰 문제가 되는 기공의 발생 원인과 방지대책을 기 발표된 자료를 기초로 하여 요약 정리함으로써 앞으로 여러 생산현장에서의 알루미늄합금 용접 특히 MIG 용접 관련 문제점 해결에 도움이 되고자 한다.
