This study explores the resistive heating characteristics of discontinuous carbon fiber (CF)-epoxy composites. Test samples including 1, 3, and 5 wt.% CF were fabricated using sonication and cast molding processes. For heating performance characterization, DC currents were applied to the composite samples, and surface temperatures were evaluated visually and quantitatively using an infrared camera. To estimate the thermal performance of composites and verify the experimental results, finite element analyses were performed. The resistive heating mechanism was investigated in connection with CF loading and applied voltages. Resistive heating efficiency increased proportionately with CF concentration and applied voltage. To obtain homogeneous temperature distribution of the samples, high degree of CF dispersion is required.

Worldwide environmental regulations have been enhanced for emission reduction of greenhouse gases and air pollutants; accordingly, some measures were prepared. Furthermore, the need for effective and reasonable energy-saving methods is growing in accordance with that for environmental pollution minimization. In the case of marine engineering, techniques for the development of eco-friendly vessels have been actively studied, including reduction of exhaust gas emissions, development of alternative fuel, and development of a new propulsion system. In this study, we presented the basic concepts and analyzed the speed, current, voltage, and output power characteristics of each operating mode, i.e., operating mode of battery, generator, and full power.

In a borate buffer solution, the growth kinetics and the electronic properties of passive film on aluminum were investigated, using the potentiodynamic method, chronoamperometry, and multi-frequency electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion of aluminum was heavily influenced by the degree of oxygen concentration because of the increasing reduction current. The oxide film formed during the passivation process of aluminum has showed the electronic properties of n-type semiconductor, which follow from the Mott-Schottky equation. It was found out that the passive film (Al(OH)₃) of Al formed in the low electrode potential changes to Al₂O₃ while the electrode potential increases. The growth kinetics data as measured by chronoamperometry suggests a mechanism in which the growth of the film of Al₂O₃ is determined by field-assisted transport of ions through the film.

음극아크증착과 스퍼터링을 동시에 사용한 하이브리드 공정으로 제조된 TiAlSiN 코팅층의 물성을 평가하였다. TiAlSiN 코팅층은 음극아크 소스에 Ti-Al 타겟을 장착하고 스퍼터링 소스에는 Si 타겟을 장착하여 아르곤과 질소 가스의 혼합가스 분위기에서 스테인리스(SUS304)와 초경(cemented carbide; WC-15wt.%Co) 기판 위에 제조되었다. 음극아크 소스에 인가되는 전류는 고정하고 스퍼터링 소스에 인가되는 전력을 조절하여 TiAlSiN 코팅층의 Si 함량을 제어하였다. TiAlSiN 코팅층의 Si 함량이 증가하면 코팅층의 구조가 주상정에서 비정질 구조로 변화한다. 이는 Si 함량이 증가하면 코팅층에 형성되는 알갱이 구조의 크기가 줄어들기 때문이다. X-선 회절 결과와 Scherrer's equation을 이용하여 Si 함량에 따른 알갱이 구조의 크기를 계산하면 Si이 없는 코팅층은 약 14 nm의 크기를 보이며 8 at.% 이상의 함량에서 약 2.5 nm로 포화된다. TiAlSiN 코팅층의 경도를 Si 함량에 따라 측정하면 Si 함량이 증가하면 경도도 증가하는 경향을 보이며 약 9 at.%의 Si 함량에서 3200 Hv로 최대가 되고 이후에는 감소한다. TiAlSiN이 코팅된 스테인리스 시편을 대기에서 열처리하고 시편 무게증가를 측정하여 코팅층의 내열성을 평가하였다. Si 함량이 증가하면 내열성도 향상되는데 14.4 at.%의 Si 함량에서 $700^{\circ}C$까지 무게 증가가 없으며 $900^{\circ}C$까지 0.43 mg의 증가를 보인다. 본 실험을 통해서 얻어진 TiAlSiN 코팅층은 비교적 높은 경도와 내열성을 확보하여 절상공구 보호막 코팅 소재 등으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, we propose an IoT based smart outlet system for one-person household with electric safety, electric energy consumption management and transmission of messages to the reserved contacts by connecting the emergency network. The proposed smart outlet system is implemented by parsing packet data and protocol between server, module, application and WiFi AP receiver. The WiFi AP built for communication can be used not only for the outlet but also for the gas barrier, the door lock and the like. In addition, the proposed method can provide the remote monitoring function by receiving the amount of power of the receptacle received through the AC current sensor (SCT-013) in real time. The smart outlet system is expected to be capable of automatically shutting off the power in case of emergency through automatic power use analysis in addition to the standby power cutoff function.

We investigate the crystallographic orientation and strain states of the Ni/Ag ohmic contacts on p-type GaN. The Ag film in the Ni/Ag contact was severely agglomerated during high temperature annealing in air ambient. As a results, after annealing for 24 h, the Ni/Ag contact shows non-linear I-V curve and low light reflectance of ~21% at 460 nm wavelength. High-resolution X-ray diffraction results show that the interplanar spacing of Ag (111) planes is almost same to that of bilk Ag after annealing for 24 hrs, indicating that the in-plane tensile strain in the Ag film was fully relaxed due to the Ag agglomeration.

In this paper, we analyzed the EMP coupling for the nonuniform transmission lines, such as twisted cables, using the chain matrix algorithm and the multi-conductor analysis. The BLT method is widely used for the EMP coupling analysis of the transmission line, however, it is difficult to apply to the nonuniform transmission lines. In order to analyze the EMP coupling of nonuniform transmission lines, the whole nonuniform transmission line is divided into incremental uniform line sections of the finite numbers, and the coupling in each small sections is now summed up to get the EMP coupling effect of the entire nonuniform transmission line. To verify the proposed EMP coupling analysis method, the result of the EMP coupling simulation is compared with the solution of BLT equations for a uniform transmission line case. The proposed method is applied to the twisted cable over ground in case of being illuminated by the HEMP in order to analyze the EMP coupling.

다이아몬드에 버금가는 높은 경도뿐만 아니라 높은 화학적 안정성 및 열전도성 등 우수한 물리화학적 특성을 가진 입방정 질화붕소(cubic boron nitride)는 마찰.마모, 전자, 광학 등의 여러 분야에서의 산업적 응용이 크게 기대되는 재료이다. 특히 탄화물형성원소에 대해 안정하여 철계금속의 가공을 위한 공구재료로의 응용 또한 크게 기대된다. 이 때문에 각종의 PVD, CVD 공정을 이용하여 c-BN 박막의 합성에 대한 연구가 광범위하게 진행되어 많은 성공사례들이 보고되고 있다. 그러나 c-BN 박막의 유용성에도 불구하고 아직 실제적인 응용이 이루어지지 못한 것은 c-BN 박막의 증착직후 급격한 박리현상 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 평행자기장을 부가한 ME-ARE(Magnetically Enhanced Activated Reactive Evaporation)법을 이용한 c-BN 박막의 합성에서 적용한 증착공정 인자들의 변화에 따른 박리특성 고찰과 함께 다층박막화 및 제 3원소 혼입 방법을 적용하여 박리특성 향상 정도를 조사하였다. BN 박막합성은 전자총에 의해 증발된 보론과 (질소+아르곤) 플라즈마의 활성화반응증착(Activated Reactive Evaporation)에 의해 이루어졌다. 기존의 ARE 장치와 달리 열음극(got cathode)과 양극(anode) 사이에 평행자기장을 부가하여 플라즈마의 증대시켜 반응효율을 높였다. 합성실험용 모재로는 p-type으로 도핑된 (100) Si웨이퍼를 30$\times$40mmzmrl로 절단 후, 10%로 희석된 완충불산용액에 10분간 침적하여 표면의 산화층을 제거한 후 사용하였다. 박막실험실에서의 주요공정변수는 기판바이어스 전압, discharge 전류, Ar/N2가스유량비이었다. 합성된 박막의 결정성 분석을 FTIR을 이용하였으며, BN 박막의상 및 미세구조관찰을 위해 투과전자현미경(TEM;Philips EM400T) 분석을 병행하였고, 박막의 기계적 물성 평가를 위해 미소경도를 측정하였다. 박리특성의 고찰은 대기중에서의 자발적 박리가 일어나 90%이상의 박리가 진행된 시점까지의 시간을 측정하였고, 증착직후 박막의 잔류응력 변화와 연관하여 고찰해 보았다.

A lever type CO micro gas sensor was fabricated by MEMS technology. In order to heat up the gas sensing material, $SnO_2$, to a target temperature, a micro heater was built on the gas sensor. The heater and electrodes were hanged on the air as a bridge type to minimize the heat loss to the silicon base. The sensing material laid on the heater and electrodes and did not contact with the silicons base. The temperature distribution of micro gas sensor was analyzed by a CFD program, FLUENT. The results showed that the temperature of silicon wafer base was almost similar to that of the room temperature, which indicates that the heat generated at the micro heater heated up effectively the sensing material. The required electric current of micro heater to heat up the sensing material to the target temperature could be predicted.
