In this paper, structural behavior of Gasket and GDL of a PEMFC stack is studied to improve the performance and to secure the safety. In the Gasket analysis Mooney-Rivlin strain energy function is used to consider hyperelasticity of load and displacement. The material properties is determined by testing specimens of the gasket at uni-axial and equi-biaxial mode and compared with finite element analysis results. By measuring a thickness change, the material property of GDL is determined. The pressure drop of a unit cell is measured along the channel for the clamping force. A cross sectional change of channel base on the experimental data is obtained experimentally and compare with FEM analysis results.

일반형 자동차 내장부품은 외부가 플라스틱 사출 성형한 형태로 사용되지만, 고급 차종은 내장재의 미감이나 질감을 위하여 사출물 표면에 엠보싱 무늬가 형성된 표피재가 수지에 추가로 부착되어 제작된다. 부착하는 방법은 한 장비에서 저압 사출 후 플라스틱이 완전 응고 전에 표피재를 넣고 압입하는 저압 사출법과 표피재 수지를 기 사출된 제품위에 놓고 압착시키는 압착법이 있으나 이 두 방법 모두 엠보싱 무늬가 형성된 표피재를 넣고 작업하기 때문에 고온 압착시 기존 무늬가 찌그러지고 코너 부위가 경화되어 기존의 질감을 얻지 못하며, 치수 공차가 변형되어 불량률이 증가하므로 이를 시급히 개선할 새로운 제조 기술의 필요성이 대두된다. 본 연구는 가열 압착기로 지그 및 금형을 새로 개발하여 도어 트림 제조시, 기 사출물을 금형 쪽으로 기 조직을 삽입한 후 엠보싱 무늬가 없는 원소재 표피재로 상부 금형 쪽으로 소재조직을 진공으로 흡입하여 무늬를 성형한 후 하강시켜, 기 사출물에 압착시키는 가열 압착으로 엠보싱무늬의 손상을 방지하는 금형을 제안하였으며 그에 대한 해석, 설계, 실험을 통하여 성능을 평가 분석 하였다.

In this thesis, a strip layout drawing of LCD S/C (shield case) was prepared. In the press die, strip layout drawing is a major factor that decides the mass production of a product. The 3D CAD/CAM system was applied for the easy correction of the interference factor with other parts to be mounted. The material use ratio was enhanced to 60.17% by optimizing the blank layout and strip layout in double width array. Furthermore, the flatness of the product was made to fit the requirements by adding the bidding process intensively on the notching part where the occurrence of the change in shape is expected owing to the thin material. For the 3D CAD/CAM software, Unigraphics NX3.0 was used. The strip layout drawing was prepared in 12 processes.

The incidence and prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) is increasing worldwide, including in Korea, and the clinical importance of NTM-PD is also rapidly increasing. The diagnosis and management of NTM-PD is difficult. Radiologic evidence is mandatory to diagnose NTM-PD, and the radiologic findings may be the first evidence of the disease in many patients. Traditionally, NTM-PD demonstrates two different radiologic forms: fibrocavitary and nodular bronchiectatic. However, the disease also shows non-specific and a wide spectrum of radiologic features. Radiologists must be aware of the radiologic features of NTM-PD and should include them in the differential diagnosis. This review focuses on the epidemiology in Korea, diagnostic criteria, and radiological features of NTM-PD for radiologists.

Corrosion products of reinforcement in concrete induce pressure to the adjacent concrete due to the expansion of steel. This expansion causes tensile stresses around the reinforcing bar and eventually induces cracking through the concrete cover The cracking of concrete cover will adversely affect the safety as well as the service life of concrete structures. The purpose of the this study is to examine the critical corrosion amount which causes the cracking of concrete cover. To this end, a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study has been conducted. Major test variables include concrete strength and cover thickness. The strains at the surface of concrete cover have been measured according to the amount of steel corrosion. The corrosion products which penetrate into the pores and cracks around the steel bar have been considered in the calculation of expansive pressure due to steel corrosion. The present study indicates that the critical amount of corrosion, which causes the initiation of cracking, increases with an increase of compressive strength. A realistic relation between the expansive pressure and average strain of corrosion product layer in the corrosion region has been derived and the representative stiffness of corrosion layer was determined. A concept of pressure-free strain of corrosion product layer was introduced to explain the relation between the expansive pressure and corrosion strain. The proposed theory agrees well with experimental data and may be a good base for the realistic durability design of concrete structures.

Transition process of plastic region. displacements, stresses and strains ahead the flaw tips were analysed by the finite element method on the steel plate with the circular hole and the one with the elliptical hole under completely alternating load (repetition of tensile loading, unloading and compressive loading). As the results, the followings were obtained. Transition process of elastic failure (yielding) region was estimated. From this the tendency was confirmed that the fracture would be initiated from ahead the flaw tip, and propagated along the $45^{\circ}$ direction. The fundamental data available in estimating the stress intensity factor that was considered as the core in analysing the fracture mechanism of steel plates were obtained. It was indicated that when unloading after tension the effect of compressive loading, and even the compressive reyield, was occured ahead the flaw tip. Similarly it was indicated that when unloading after compression the effect of tensile loading, and even the tensile reyield, was occured ahead the flaw tip. It was considered that these phenomena were occured because the unloading effect was constrained by the residual strains when unloading. It was considered that the fatigue phenomenon was occured ahead, the flaw tip by repetition of tensile yield, the above compressive reyield, compressive yeild and the above tensile reyield. In addition, the tendency was confirmed that the fracture ahead the flaw tip was occured as the flaw was changed from the circular hole to the elliptical hole and became to be the crack lastly.

Glass/resin/glass laminate structures are used in the automobile, biological, and display industries. The sandwich structures are used in the micro/nanoimprint process to fabricate a variety of functional components and devices in fields such as display, optics, MEMS, and bioindustry. In the process, micrometer- or nanometer-scale patterns are transferred onto the substrate using UV curing resins. The demodling process has an important impact on productivity. In this study, we investigated the fracture behavior of glass/resin/glass laminates fabricated via UV curing. We performed measurements of the adhesion force and the interfacial energy between the mold and resin materials using the four-point flexural test. The bending-test measurements and the load-displacement curves of the laminates indicate that the fracture behavior is influenced by the interfacial energy between the mold and resin and the resin thickness.

We present a novel method for simple and efficient analysis of the rectangular MQW waveguide. Preferentially two-dimensional structure is transformed into one-dimensional structure by using the effective index method. Then, the characteristic matrix of the resultant planar MQW waveguide is analyzed by scanning angle method. The effective index, modal intensity, and optical confinement factor of rectangular MQW waveguide can be effectively obtained by this method. Our simulation results show excellent agreement with the accurate solutions based on the finite element method. We also introduce the approximation methods for the analysis of rectangular MQW waveguide and investigate their validity. By using perturbation approach, modal power loss of guided wave in rectangular MQW waveguide is newly investigated and compared with the conventional method using the approximation of planar MQW waveguide.

In this study, closed-cell aluminum foam with an initial crack was investigated to produce an axial load-time graph. Using the 10-kN Landmarks of MTS Corporation, a 15-mm/min velocity of mode I shape was applied to the aluminum foam specimen using the displacement control method. ABAQUS 6.10 simulation was used to model and analyze the identical model in three dimensions under conditions identical to those of the experiment. The energy release rate was calculated on the basis of an axial load-displacement graph obtained from the experiment and a transient image of the crack length, and then an FE model was analyzed on the basis of this fracture energy condition. The relation between load and displacement was discussed; it was found that the aluminum foam deformed somewhat less than the adhesive layer owing to the difference in elastic modulus.

In this study, we have quantitatively estimated the mechanical properties of structural welding steels widely used in steel structures after correcting the millsheets of the steels using statistical technique. From this result, in present, the mechanical properties of the steels produced in domestics have satisfied the prescribed values in Korean Standards. The mechanical properties of the steels were dependent upon the plate thickness & class of the steels. Also, there have been linear relations between the plate thickness & class of the steels and the mechanical properties of the steels. And the results of this study have shown the similar tendencies with the existing results. Because the upper limit value of yield strength is not prescribed at Korean Standards in present, it is necessary to prescribe the upper limit value of yielding ratio(or yield strength) in order to assure the deformation performance of the steels.
