In this study, eco-friendly hybrid composite boards were manufactured from green tea and wood fibers for application as interior materials with various functionalities of green tea and strong strength properties of wood fibers. In this relation, the effect of green tea content on dynamic MOEs (modulus of elasticity) of these green tea and wood fibers composite boards were investigated. The dynamic MOEs of hybrid composite boards were lower than those of control boards without green tea, and the values decreased with the increase of green tea content. Also, the dynamic MOEs appeared to be somewhat different by resin type used for board manufacture. The hybrid composite boards manufactured from $E_1$ grade urea resin, which has higher molar ratio of formaldehyde to urea than that of $E_0$ grade one, were 1.06~1.54 times higher than that manufactured from $E_0$ grade. And, the differences between hybrid composite boards manufactured from both adhesive increased with the increase of green tea content. On the other hand, high correlations were found between dynamic MOE and static bending strength performances, it was concluded that static bending strength performances could be estimated from the dynamic MOE, except for a few hybrid board types with large variations.

The aim of this study was to compare the compressive strength and the surface microhardness of Beautifil flow (Shofu, Kyoto, Japan) with $Filtek^{TM}$ Z350, Z350XT (3M ESPE, USA). Fifteen specimens from each material were fabricated for testing. Compressive strength was measured by using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Surface microhardness values were measured by using Vickers hardness tester under 4.9 N load and 10 seconds dwelling time. The compressive strength of Group 2 $Filtek^{TM}$ Z350XT shows the highest value as $218.7{\pm}18.4$ MPa and Group 1 $Filtek^{TM}$ Z350 was $205.5{\pm}27.1$ MPa. Group 3 Beautifil flow F00 was $176.5{\pm}30.3$ MPa, and Group 4 Beautifil flow F10 was $173.4{\pm}26.2$ MPa. The compressive strength of Group 2 is higher than Group 3 and 4 (p < 0.05). The surface microhardness of Group 2 $Filtek^{TM}$ Z350XT shows the highest value as $39.1{\pm}2.1$ and Group 4 Beautifil flow F10 was $27.9{\pm}1.8$. And Group 3 Beautifil flow F00 was $23.1{\pm}1.1$, Group 1 $Filtek^{TM}$ Z350 was $20.4{\pm}0.9$. There was a statistical significant difference in surface microhardness between all groups (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the compressive strength of giomer was below the level of flowable composite resin. However, the surface microhardness of giomer is comparable to that of flowable composite resin. Giomer would be the good alternative to composite resin, if there is improvement of the compressive strength of giomer.

This paper reports the effects of nickel film interleaves on the interlaminar shear strength(ILSS) of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites(CFRPs). A nickel thin film was deposited onto the prepreg by radio frequency(RF) sputtering at room temperature. The ILSS of the nickel film interleaved hybrid composites was increased compared to that of the composites without interleaves. To understand the mechanism of enhancement of the ILSS, the fracture surface of the tested specimens was examined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The metal interleaves were acted as a reinforcement for the matrix rich interface and the shear property of their composites improved by enhancing the resistance to matrix cracking.

Aluminum based metal matrix composites(MMCs) are well known for their high specific strength, stiffness and hardness. They are gaining further importance because of their high wear resistance. In this study wear behavior of $Al/Al_2O_3/C$ hybrid MMCs fabricated by squeeze infiltration method was characterized by the abrasive wear test under various sliding speeds at room and high temperature. Wear resistance of MMCs was improved due to the presence of reinforcements at high sliding speed. Especially wear resistance of carbon hybrid MMCs was superior to other materials because of its solid lubrication of carbon. The friction coefficient of MMCs was not affected by the sliding speed.

Tensile properties of polypropylene based self-reinforced composites were investigated as a function of process variables of the double-belt lamination equipment such as pressure, temperature and cooling conditions. Elastic modulus was enhanced approximately 6 times from 0.2 to 1.2 GPa. The improvement mechanism was studied by identification of crystalline structure changes using DSC and XRD analysis. In addition, morphology change of self-reinforced composites was also investigated by SEM analysis in order to reveal the degree of impregnation.

Type3 cylinder is a composite pressure vessel fully over-wrapped with carbon/epoxy composite layers over an aluminum liner, which is the most ideal and safe high pressure gas container for CNG vehicles due to the lightweight and the leakage-before-burst characteristics. During service in CNG vehicle, if a fiber cut damage occurs in outer composite layers, it can degrade structural performance, reducing cycling life from the original design life. In this study, finite element modeling and analysis technique for the composite cylinder with fiber-cut crack damage is presented. Because FE analysis of type3 cylinder is path dependant due to plastic deformation of aluminum liner in autofrettage process, method to introduce a crack into FE model affect analysis result. A crack should be introduced after autofrettage in analysis step considering real circumstances where crack occurs during usage in service. For realistic simulation of this situation, FE modeling and analysis technique introducing a crack in the middle of analysis step is presented and the results are compared with usual FE analysis which has initial crack in the model from the beginning of analysis. Proposed analysis technique can be used effectively in the evaluation of influence of damage on composite layers of type3 cylinder and establish inspection criteria of composite cylinder in service.

Al-SiC$_{p}$ composite layer was prepared by plasma thermal spray on aluminum substrate using composite powder prepared by mechanical alloying. Mechanically alloyed powder was achieved after 24 h milling, which was used for thermal spray coating. The correlations between process conditions and thickness/porosity were analyzed, and increase of hardness was confirmed. The presence of Al-Si-C-O compound was detected by TEM analysis.

본 논문에서는 PNNI의 복합 노드 표현을 지원하는 다계층 라우팅 알고리듬에 대해서 제안한다. PNNI는 다 계층 방법으로 여러 망을 연결하여 비교적 광범위한 망을 지원할 수 있다. 다계층 형성시 가상 그룹 노드(Logical Group Node)는 하위 피어 그룹(Peer Group)에 대한 묘사를 하게 되며 이를 복합 노드 표현(Complex Node Representation)이라 한다. 복합 노드 표현 정보를 이용한 최단 경로 결정은 매우 어려운 일이다. 이에 복합 노드 표현 정보를 단순 노드 표현(Simple Node Representation)화 하여 보다 쉽고, 정확하며, 보편적으로 적용 가능한 라우팅 방법에 대해서 제안하고자 한다.

최근 초고층 건축물에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있고, 더욱이 건설기술의 발전에 힘입어 초고층 복합빌딩의 계획과 건설이 더욱 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 초고층 복합빌딩에서 화재 등과 같은 재난이 발생할 경우 거주자의 대피 및 소방공무원의 화재진압 활동이 어려워 국가적 재난으로 확대될 위험이 있다. 그렇기 때문에 초고층 복합빌딩물에서 발생하는 사고를 예방하거나 발생하는 사고의 피해를 최소화하는 등 재난관리를 통합적으로 하기 위한 방재정보센터의 운영이 무엇보다 중요시되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 초고층 복합빌딩의 개념과 문제점에 분석하고, 방재정보센터의 특성 및 향후 방안을 고찰하였다.

Recently, application case of the ultra rapid hardening concrete-polymer composite(URHCPC) are increasing to repair for the deterioration of pavement. But it is a major disadvantage that the main material is expensive and has environmental load. For these reasons, the development of the economic, eco-friendly materials is needed. Calcium Aluminate Composite (CAC), produced by rapid cooling of atomizing method with molten ladle furnace slag, is a material capable of improving the economic feasibility and reducing the environmental load of URHCPC. In this paper, the properties of CAC and gypsum mixed CAC (GC) as alternative materials of RSC according to the types of polymer dispersion were studied. The results were as follows; compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, bonding strength and modulus of elasticity of the composites using CAC or GC showed higher values than those of plain proportion in 3 hour. In later age, they were at the same level as the general proportions. URHCPC using BPD as polymer dispersion had superior strength properties generally. But modulus of elasticity was the same level as the case of using a SBR latex. According to these results, CAC or GC can partially substituted for RSC to product the URHCPC. When URHCPC uses the BPD as the polymer dispersion, it can be improved performance.
