In this study, DCB(double cantilever beam) specimens of woven fabric carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy were manufactured and mode I fracture toughness of specimen was measured according to ASTM 5528-01. And FE analysis was conducted in the same condition and evaluated the behavior of delamination analytically. Mode I fracture toughness measured by test was $845.7\;J/m^2$ in the case carbon/epoxy and that of glass/epoxy was $1,042\;J/m^2$. FE analysis was conducted using cohesive elements for adhesive layer and applied measured fracture toughness. To verify the result of analysis, the reaction force measured at the end of specimen and that calculated by Timoshenko beam theory were compared. The numerical results show good agreements with the measured one.

반도체, 디스플레이와 같이 저압, 극청정 조건에서 진행되는 공정에서 발생한 오염입자는 수 율에 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서 공정 중에 발생한 오염입자를 실시간으로 모니터링할 수 있는 장비에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. Particle Beam Mass Spectrometer (PBMS)는 저압에서 실시간으로 나노 입자의 크기를 측정할 수 있는 대표적인 장비 중 하나이다. 입자를 포함한 가스 유동이 PBMS로 유입되면, 우선 입자를 입자빔의 형태로 집속하는 공기역학렌즈를 통과하게 된다. 집속된 입자는 노즐에 의해서 가속되며, 이로 인해 충분한 관성을 가지게 된 입자는 양극과 음극, 필라멘트로 구성된 electron gun에서 전자충돌에 의해 포화상태로 하전된다. 하전한 입자는 electrostatic deflector에서 크기에 따라 분류되어 Faraday detector와 electrometer에 의해 측정된다. 그러나 공기역학렌즈는 입자의 크기가 작아질수록 집속 효율이 급격히 낮아진다는 문제점을 지니고 있다. 이는 입자가 작아질수록 점성에 의한 영향이 관성에 의한 영향보다 커짐으로써 나타나는 현상이다. 최근 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 사중극자를 사용하여 입자를 집속시키는 방법이 대안으로 제시되었다. 사중극자는 서로 마주보는 쌍곡선 형태의 전극구조에 AC 전기장을 인가하는 방식을 사용한다. 사중극자의 중심은 정확히 평형점을 가지게 되며 입자는 사중극자 내에서 진동을 반복하며 평형점을 향해 모이게 된다. 입자의 크기가 작을수록 전기력에 의한 영향을 크게 받으므로 사중극자를 이용한 입자집속 방법은 나노입자의 집속에 있어 공기역학렌즈를 이용한 집속에 비해 이점을 지닌다. 또한 집속 하고자 하는 입자 대상이 바뀔 경우 구조를 바꿔야 하는 공기역학렌즈와 달리 사중극자를 이용한 방법은 AC 전기장을 조절하는 것 만으로 제어가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 저압 조건에서 나노입자를 집속하기 위한 사중극자의 전극 구조를 이론적인 계산을 통하여 구하였다. 그 결과 0.1 torr의 압력 조건하에서 5~100 nm 범위의 기본 입자를 AC 전압과 진동수를 조절하여 집속할 수 있는 사중극자 형태를 설계하였다.

In this article, we propose a near field microwave scanning probe structure in which two short conducting rods are attached to the center of the ridged(H-type) aperture, thereby reducing significantly the beam spot area while maintaining the high transmission efficiency through the output coupling H-type(ridged) aperture. Here the two short parallel conducting rods seem to play an important role of concentrating the transmitted electromagnetic energy through the H-type aperture and so reducing the beam area for high resolution. For validation of the proposed theory, the near field waveguide probe is fabricated according to the simulated results and its return loss characteristics versus frequencies are measured. The comparison between theory and experiment is seen to be in good agreements.

Since February 2017, site managers in small architectural projects are required by the revised building act. In order to address issues for site managers and to improve project efficiency, system improving methods are surveyed and proposed in this study. The key inspection items in the existing surveillance guidance manual were investigated, and the checklist for site managers for a small to medium sized construction site was analyzed. This study also tries to propose using web-based site management systems for improvement of the utilization of checklists. It is expected that these on-site management systems, along with BIM technology, will be able to monitor the small size building construction project in real time and effectively monitor the various problems occurring on-site.

This paper proposes a wide-band dual-polarization stacked patch array antenna for satellite SAR system applications. The array antenna was designed for loss minimization and wide-band characteristics to enhance the performance of the SAR system and optimize it for active return loss in applications to active phased arrays. The fabricated array antenna showed a performance of 19.26%/19.79% fractional bandwidth within the -10 dB reference level of the active return loss and showed loss characteristics of 0.797 dB/0.799 dB averaged within the operational frequency for both H/V-polarization cases. The pattern performance was verified by comparing the measured patterns with the calculated patterns obtained by the array factor.

The determination of trace concentration of U, Th and Pb was carried out for chemical dating of zircon and monazite by electron microprobe. Detection limit and error range should be considered to measure characteristic X-rays of M-line from those minerals, which are low in the ionization of atom and low peak intensity in the spectrum. The element of U, Th and Pb were simultaneously measured with 3 spectrometers equipped with PET crystal to reduce a total counting time and error due to drift of instrumental operating condition. Detection limit could be improved from increase of the peak/background ratio through adjusting pulse height analyzer about 1000 mv baseline. Under permissible maximum analytical conditions, theoretical detection limit of U, Th and Pb is down to 30 ppm (99% confidence level). The analytical result was maintained at a relative error $\pm$10% ($2{\sigma}$) in 800 ppm Pb, $\pm$5% ($2{\sigma}$) in 2330 ppm U and $\pm$10% ($2{\sigma}$) in dating from a single measurement of zircon at 15 keV and 100 nA. However, for the precise dating of zircon and monazite, if it is considered a 3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ spatial resolution, <100 ppm ($3{\sigma}$) detection limit and <$\pm$10% ($2{\sigma}$) relative error, optimum analytical conditions are given as 15~20 keV accelerating voltage, 100~200 nA beam current and 300~1200 sec total counting time. To reduce material damage by high current, there is need to be up to 3~5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ of electron beam diameter, or to use arithmetic average of multiple measuring at a shorter counting time. A younger or relatively low concentration rocks can be dated chemically by lower detection limit and improved precision resulted from increase of current and measuring time.

In general, the response of bulk material is independent of its size when it comes to considering classical elasticity theory. Because the surface to bulk ratio of the large solids is very small, the influence of surface can be negligible. But the surface effect plays important role as the surface to bulk ratio becomes larger, that is, the contribution of the surface effect must be considered in nano-size elements such as thin film or beam structure. Molecular dynamics computation has been a conventional way to analyze these ultra-thin structures but this method is limited to simulate on the order of $10^6{\sim}10^9$ atoms for a few nanoseconds, and besides, very time consuming. Analysis of structures in submicro to micro range(thin-film, wire etc.) is difficult with classical molecular dynamics due to the restriction of computing resources and time. Therefore, in this paper, the continuum-based method is considered to simulate the overall physical and mechanical properties of the structures in nano-scale, especially, for the thin-film.

Since the presence of the chemical impurities and defect at surfaces and interfaces greatly influence the properties of various semiconductor devices, an unambiguous chemical characterization of the metal and semiconductor surfaces become more important in the view of the miniaturization of the devices toward nano scale. Among the various conventional surface characterization tools, Electron-induced Auger Electron Spectroscopy (EAES), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Secondary Electron Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) are being used for the identification of the surface chemical impurities. Recently, a novel surface characterizaion technique, Positron-annihilation induced Auger Electron Spectroscopy (PAES) is introduced to provide a unique method for the analysis of the elemental composition of the top-most atomic layer. In PAES, monoenergetic positron of a few eV are implanted to the surface under study and these positrons become thermalized near the surface. A fraction of the thermalized positron trapped at the surface state annihilate with the neighboring core-level electrons, creating core-hole excitations, which initiate the Auger process with the emission of Auger electrons almost simultaneously with the emission of annihilating gamma-rays. The energy of electrons is generally determined by employing ExB energy selector, which shows a poor resolution of $6{\sim}10eV$. In this paper, time-of-flight system is employed to measure the electrons energy with an enhanced energy resolution. The experimental result is compared with simulation results in the case of both linear (with retarding tube) and reflected TOF systems.

An X-band $8{\times}16$ dual-polarized active phased array antenna system has been implemented based on the substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) technology having low propagation loss, complete EM shielding, and high power handling characteristics. Compared with the microstrip case, 1 dB less is the measured insertion loss(0.65 dB) of the 16-way SIW power distribution network and doubled(3 dB improved) is the measured radiation efficiency(73 %) of the SIW sub-array($1{\times}16$) antenna element. These significant improvements of the power division loss and the radiation efficiency using the SIW, save more than 30 % of the total power consumption, in the active phased array antenna systems, through substantial reduction of the maximum output power(P1 dB) of the high power amplifiers. Using the X-band $8{\times}16$ dual-polarized active phased array antenna system fabricated by the SIW technology, the main radiation beam has been steered by 0, 5, 9, and 18 degrees in the accuracy of 2 degree maximum deviation by simply generating the theoretical control vectors. Performing thermal cycle and vacuum tests, we have found that the SIW array antenna system be eligible for the space environment qualification. We expect that the high efficiency SIW array antenna system be very effective for high performance radar systems, massive MIMO for 5G mobile systems, and various millimeter-wave systems(60 GHz WPAN, 77 GHz automotive radars, high speed digital transmission systems).

Aircraft should be equipped with various external stores for mission performance. Since these external stores may cause structural instability of aircraft, an evaluation of the effects between the aircraft and the external stores is required. For this purpose, an aircraft dynamic characteristics analysis reflecting an external store was performed, and the finite element model for the analysis of aircraft dynamic characteristics should simulate the dynamic characteristics of the component as accurately as possible while using a minimum of the nodes and elements. In this study, a stick model was constructed for dynamic characteristics analysis of the external fuel tank and installation pylon using MSC Patran/Nastran. For the calculation of the equivalent stiffness of the stick model, a simple beam theory was applied to construct the stick model of each part, and the validity of each stick models was confirmed by mode comparison with the fine model. Additionally, the model analysis of the stick model assembly, simulating a pylon equipped with an external fuel tank was performed to confirm that the basic modes required for the analysis of aircraft dynamic characteristics are well extracted. Finally, it was confirmed that the developed stick model assembly could be used for analysis of aircraft dynamic characteristics by comparing the errors in modes between the fine model assembly and the stick model assembly.
