Since the use of porous silicon for microsensors and microactuators is in the euly stage of study, only several application devices, such as light-emitting diodes and chemical sensors have so far been demonstrated. In this paper we present an overview of the present status of porous silicon sensors and actuators research with special emphasis on the applications of chemical sensors and optical devices. The capacitive type porous silicon humidity sensors had a nonlinear capacitance-humidity characteristic and a good sensitivity at higher humidity above $40\%RH$. The porous silicon $n^+-p-n^+$ device showed a sharp increase in current when exposed to an ethanol vapor. The $p^+-PSi-n^+$ diode fabricated on porous silicon diaphragm exhibited an optical switching characteristic, opening up its utility as an optical sensor or switch. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum, taken from porous silicon under 365 nm excitation, had a broad emission, peaked at -610 nm. The electroluminescence(EL) from ITO/PSi/In LED had a broader spectrum with a blue shifted peak at around 535nm than that of the PL.

Transpiration cooling is the most effective cooling technique for the high-performance liquid rockets and air-breathing engines operating in aggressive environments with higher pressures and temperatures. When applying transpiration cooling, combustor liners and turbine blades/vanes are cooled by the coolant(air or fuel) passing through their porous walls and also the exit coolant acting as an insulating film. Practical implementation of the cooling technique has been hampered by the limitations of available porous materials. But advances in metal-joining techniques have led to the development of multi-laminate porous structures such as Lamilloy$^{(R)}$ fabricated from several diffusion-bonded, etched metal thin sheets. And also with the availability of lightweight, ceramic matrix composites(CMC), transpiration cooling now seems to be a promising technique for high-performance engine cooling. This paper reviews recent research activities of transpiration cooling and its applications to gas turbines, liquid rockets, and the engines for hypersonic vehicles.

Emerging issues related with fully coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) behavior of unsaturated soil demand the development of a numerical tool in diverse geo-mechanical and geo-environmental areas. This paper presents general governing equations for coupled THM processes in unsaturated porous media. Coupled partial differential equations are derived from three mass balances equations (solid, water, and air), energy balance equation, and force equilibrium equation. With Galerkin formulation and time integration of these governing equations, finite element code is developed to find nonlinear solution of four main variables (displacement-u, gas pressure-$P_g$), liquid pressure-$P_1$), and temperature-T) using Newton's iterative scheme. Three cases of numerical simulations are conducted and discussed: one-dimensional drainage experiments (u-$P_g-P_1$), thermal consolidation (u-$P_1$-T), and effect of pile on surrounding soil due to surface temperature variation (u-$P_1$-T).

Temperature distribution measurements in the mockup apparatus of reactor vessel were performed to determine the effective thermal conductivity of Al powder porous media where stainless steel tubes were installed with different geometry. The temperature distributions at four separated sections with different arrangements of porous media have different slopes according to the geometrical configuration. From the measured temperature distribution, effective thermal conductivity have been derived using the least square fitting method.

At the large-sized mold fer injection molding, the remaining gas in the mold causes some problems with final products. In order to solve these problems, air-bent was drilled on the surface of mold. However, this method leaves the scar on the surface of a product. Therefore, porous material was developed to the removal of remaining gas in this study. Porcerax II, which is a commercialized porous material, were developed in USA. It requires the electric discharge machining(EDM) process to make pores on the surface of the materials. The electric discharge machining (EDM) process, however, cause the increase of the time and cost for the fabrication of the mold. In this study, high speed machining(HSM) process was applied to the fabrication of porous mold without electric discharge machining(EDM) process. Some characteristics of the developed materials machined by high speed machining(HSM) and electric discharge machining(EDM) including air-permeability and porosity were compared with those of Porcerax II. Besides, in order to be applied to the molding process, hardness and tensile ＆ yield strength were compared between Porcerax II and developed materials.

Characterisation of the stress-strain relationship as well as crashworthiness of cellular polymer was investigated under constant impact energy with different velocities, considering inertia and strain rate effects simultaneously during the impact testing. Quasi-static and impact tests were carried out for two different density (64 $kg/m^3$, 89 $kg/m^3$) cellular polymer specimens. Also, the equations, coupled with the Sherwood-Frost model and the Impulse-Momentum theory, were employed to build the constitutive relation of the cellular polymer. The nominal stress-strain curves obtained from the constitutive relation were compared with results from impact tests and showed to be in good agreement.

흡음원리의 측면에서 저음의 흡음은 재료 자체에서의 효과보다는 그 재료의 배열에서 발생하는 공명등의 역할이 크다. 따라서 단일흡음재료 보다는 공명체나 판상재와 다공질 흡음재, 그리고 그 배후의 공기층에 의해 구성되는 복합적 흡음구조가 더욱 효과적인 저음흡음재가 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 여러 가지 목재나 철제의 슬릿, 그리고 철제나 MDF 재질의 유공판을 표면재료로 하는 저음흡음구조를 설계하기 위한 준비단계로서 저음흡음구조에서 표면재료의 번화가 가져올 수 있는 흡음특성의 차이를 알아보고자 한다.
