알루미늄 합금은 내구성과 내식성이 우수한 경량 재료이다. 그 중 Al-Mg계 5083 Al 합금은 가공성 및 용접성이 우수하여 선체 재료로 널리 이용되고 있다. 이는 선체 중량의 경량화로 인해, 연료비 절감과 빠른 선속 등 다양한 이점을 지니기 때문이다. 그러나 선박의 고속화에 따라 선체에 가해지는 유체충격이 증가하고, 압력 저하에 기인하여 캐비테이션-침식 손상이 증가할 뿐만 아니라, 염소이온이 존재하는 해수환경에서는 침식과 부식의 시너지효과로 인하여 재료의 손상이 더욱 가속화된다. 이에 대한 다양한 방지책들이 제안되고 있으나, 강한 충격압을 동반한 캐비테이션 침식-부식 복합 손상 환경에서는 다소 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 알루미늄 5083에 대하여 캐비테이션 환경 하에서 일정 전위를 인가하며 침식-부식 손상이 최소화 되는 전위 구간을 규명하고자 하였다. 먼저, 분극 실험을 선행하여 재료의 전기화학적 거동을 파악 한 후 적용 전위구간을 선정하여, 해당 전위를 인가한 상태에서 캐비테이션 실험을 실시하였다. 전기화학적 분극실험과 캐비테이션-전기화학 복합 실험은 $25^{\circ}C$의 해수 하에서 실시하였으며, 시험편의 노출면적은 $3.24cm^2$으로 하였다. 분극 실험은 개로전위로부터 +3 V까지 2 mV/s의 분극속도로 전위를 인가하였고, 기준전극으로 Ag/AgCl, 대극으로 백금전극을 사용하였다. 캐비테이션-전기화학 복합 실험은 정전위를 인가한 상태에서 대향형 진동법으로 진동수 20 kHz, 진폭 $30{\mu}m$ 진동을 20분간 가하였으며, 혼팁과 시험편 사이의 거리는 1 mm로 일정하게 유지하였다. 실험 후 표면 손상의 정량적 분석을 위해 인가된 전위별 전류밀도를 비교하고, 무게감소량을 측정하였으며, 손상경향 파악을 위하여 3D광학현미경과 주사전자현미경(SEM)을 통해 표면을 분석하였다.

Fabrication condition and magnetic properties of ultrathin Co-based amorphous alloy have been investigated. When the ejection gas pressure was lower than 0.05 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at the roll speed of 55 m/s, ultrathin ribbons with the thickness less than 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were successfully obtained. The ribbon thickness decreased linearly with the decrease in ejection pressure. Moreover the significant decrease in ribbon width was accompanied with the decrease of thickness in the range of ejection pressure to form an ultrathin ribbon. This behavior was attributed to the decrease of effective ejection pressure in the both end-sides of rectangular nozzle due to the larger friction between molten metal and nozzle wall. The effective permeability at low frequency (1 kHz) decreased largely with the decrease in ribbon thickness, while the coercive force increased with the thickness decrease. It was considered that these behaviors were due to the enhancement of surface effect leading to the suppression of wall motion. However effective permeability at high frequency (1 MHz) increased with the decrease in ribbon thickness, and this was ascribed to the easier magnetization rotation owing to the reduction of eddy current.

This paper treats optimal route safety assessment system at seaway based on weather forecasting data through INMARSAT. Since early times, captain have been sailing to select the optimum route considering the weather, ship loading status condition and operational scheduling empirically. However, it is rare to find digitalized onboard route support system whereas weather facsimile or wave and swell chart are utilized for the officer, based on captain's experience. In this paper, optimal route safety assessment system which is composed of voyage efficiency and safety component is introduced. Optimum route minimized ETA(estimated time of arrival) and fuel consumption that shipping company. and captain are requiring to evaluate for efficient voyage considering speed loss and power increase based on wave added resistance of ship. In the view point of safety, seakeeping prediction is performed based on 3 dimensional panel method Basically, the weather forecast is assumed to be prepared previously in order to operate this system.

The use of Al alloys instead of fiber-reinforced plastic(FRP) in ship construction has increased because of the advantages of Al-alloy ships, including high speed, increased load capacity, and ease of recycling. This paper describes the effects of probe diameter on the optimum friction stir welding conditions of 5456-H116 alloy for leisure ship, measured by a tensile test. In friction stir welding using a probe diameter of 5 mm under various travel and rotation speed conditions, the best performance was achieved with a travel speed of 61 mm/min. Using a probe diameter of 6 mm, rotation speeds of 170-210 rpm, and a travel speed of 15 mm/min produced a rough surface and voids because of insufficient heat input produced by the low rotation speed. At 500-800 rpm, chips were observed, although there were no voids, and the weld surface was excellent. However, at 1100-2500 rpm, many chips were produced due to excessive heat input. Heat effects were very evident on the bottom. For a travel speed of 15 mm/min, heat input caused by friction increased as the rotation speed increased. The mechanical characteristics were degraded by accelerated softening due to increasing heat input.

Because the arm can't be sutured due to fracture during a elbow CT scan, a CT scan is proceeded in a state of abdomen and L-spire are overlapped which beam hardening artifact is done many times, and it often lowers the quality of elbow CT images. So there are many difficulties in reading and due to increase in radiation dose from it, the number of patient's exposure keeps increasing. In this research, it plans to improve the quality of the images by avoiding overlap with abdomen, and increasing the number of photon overlapped with lung field which the line attenuation is relatively small. The way of experiment is based on patient's right elbow and place him as head first position, then place his elbow at L2-3 level in supine position, turn about 30 degrees to the left in non-control breathing and in supine position, and compared with full inspiration after overlapping with lung. After figuring out the average value and standard deviation data using Image J program 5 times each for 16, 128 channels, the evaluation is proceeded by measuring each of CNR, MSR are statistically analyzed using SPSS program. Therefore, through positioning and inspiration during elbow CT scan, the way of inspection minimized the exposure radiation dose, and seems to be meaningful in a way to improve the quality of the images.

Purpose : PET/CT performed CT-based attenuation correction generates the beam hardening artifact by metallic implant. The attenuation correction causes over or underestimate of the area adjacent to metallic hip prosthetic material and change of $^{18}F$-FDG uptake. Also, the image quality and the diagnosability on genitourinary disease are reduced. Therefore, this study will evaluate the usefulness of MAR (Metal Artifact Reduction) algorithm method to improve the image quality on PET/CT. Materials and Methods : PET/CT was performed by fixing hip prosthesis in SPECT/PET phantom. In PET images with and Without MAR algorithm, the Bright streak, Dark streak, Metal region and Background area that appeared on CT were confirmed, and the change of each SUV (standardized uptake value) was analyzed. Also, in 15 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty, each MAR algorithm and Without MAR algorithm and non attenuation correction was evaluated. Results : In PET image Without MAR algorithm, SUV of Bright streak region was $0.98{\pm}0.48$ g/ml; Dark streak region was $0.88{\pm}0.02$ g/ml; Metal region was $0.24{\pm}0.16$ g/ml, Background area was $0.91{\pm}0.18$ g/ml. In SUV of PET image with MAR algorithm, Bright streak region was $0.88{\pm}0.49$ g/ml, Dark streak region was $0.63{\pm}0.21$ g/ml, Metal region was $0.06{\pm}0.07$ g/ml, Background was $0.90{\pm}0.02$ g/ml. SUV generally decreased when applying MAR algorithm. In PET image Without MAR algorithm, SUVs of Bright region were higher than those measured in the Background, and it was false positive uptake. But, in PET image with MAR algorithm, SUVs of Bright region were similar to the Background, and false positive uptake disappeared. Conclusion : MAR algorithm could reduce an increase of $^{18}F$-FDG uptake due to attenuation correction in the hip surrounding tissue. However, decrease of SUV in Dark streak region should be considered in the future. Therefore, this study propose that the diagnostic accuracy can be improved in genitourinary diseases adjacent to metallic hip prosthesis, if provided PET images with and Without MAR algorithm, and non attenuation correction images at the same time.

Purpose SPECT/CT scan to be performed attenuation correction on the basis of CT induce an overestimation of the site due to the beam hardening artifact by metal cover and reduce the images quality. Therefore, this study using a phantom that has been inserted artificial hip joint investigated that effect on the SPECT/CT image causing by metal artifact for varying the parameters of the Attenuation Map. Materials and Methods Siemens Symbia T16 SPECT/CT equipment was used. Artificial hip joint was inserted to SPECT/PET phantom, 17 mm sphere of Bright Streak area in CT image was filled with Tc-99m so that the radiation activity was 8 times compared to background. And then Hot and Background was measured in varying Wide Beam Coefficient on Attenuation Map and RBR (Region to Background Ratio) of Metal and Non-Metal was calculated and analyzed depending on the presence or absence of the hip joint. Results It tended to hot count of Non-Metal and Metal to increase as the value of the manual mode is increased, hot count ratio with the group of both manual mode 0.5 and 0.4 is the best match. Also, in automatic mode, the ratio of RBRNon-Metal and RBRMetal was 1.135, statistically significant difference was not observed in the manual mode 0.5 and 0.4. Conclusion In the automatic mode of Wide Beam Coefficient in attenuation correction map, it was found that it is over-correction by 13.52%, it was possible to minimize the over-correction by the artifact in 0.5 and 0.4 of manual mode. Further studies should be performed in order to apply to a patient with the help of this and it is considered possible to reduce the over-correction by the metal artifact of an artificial hip joint for Hip-Resurfacing Arthroplasty patients, and to improve the diagnostic performance.
