The purpose of this study is to evaluate the inter-laminar fracture toughness characteristics of CFRP pultrusion spar cap materials reinforced with non-woven glass fabric. Test specimens were fabricated by the infusion technique. A non-woven glass fabric and artificial defects were embedded on the middle surface between two pultruded CFRP panels. Double cantilever beam (DCB) and End Notched Flexure (ENF) tests were performed according to ASTM standards. Fracture toughness and crack propagation characteristics were evaluated with load-displacement curves and delamination resistance curves (R-Curve). The fracture toughness results were calculated by compliance calibration (CC) method. The initiation and propagation values of Mode-I critical strain energy release rate value G_Ic were 1.357 kJ/m2 and 1.397 kJ/m2, respectively, and Mode-II critical strain energy release rate values G_IIc were 4.053 kJ/m2 for non-precracked test and 4.547 kJ/m2 for precracked test. It was found that the fracture toughness properties of the CFRP pultrusion spar-cap are influenced by the interface between the layers of CFRP and glass fiber non-woven.

System parameters (extrusion temperature, extrusion pressure, specific mechanical energy, mean residence time) were analysed on three different screw configurations during twin-screw extrusion of wheat bran. Experiments were conducted over a screw speed of $280{\sim}380\;rpm$, feed rate of $22{\sim}38\;kg/hr$ and moisture content of $17{\sim}33%$ using screws assembled with 3, 4, and 5 reverse screw elements (RSE) adjacent to the heating zone of the barrel. Extrusion temperature increased with increasing RSE but it decreased with increasing feed rate and moisture content. Decreasing the filling ratio of the screw resulted in a lower extrusion pressure, and increasing the length of the RSE gave similar results due to the higher temperature and lower viscosity of melted dough. It was also observed that increasing the feed rate and decreasing moisture content resulted in the reduced extrusion pressure. Specific mechanical energy (SME) decreased when the feed rate and moisture content increased, and SME increased when using RSE posses from 3 to 5. Screw configuration posses with 4 RSE yielded the longest RT, and the smaller the die hole, the higher the RT. In contrast, RT decreased when the feed rate increased. With increasing moisture content RT for 3 RSE increased, but that for 4 and 5 RSE decreased.

In the insect industry, as the scope of application of insects is expanded from pet insects and natural enemies to feed, edible and medicinal insects, the demand for quality control of insect raw materials is increasing, and interest in securing the safety of insect products is increasing. In the process of expanding the industrial scale, controlling the temperature and humidity and air quality in the insect breeding room and preventing the spread of pathogens and other pollutants are important success factors. It requires a controlled environment under the operating system. European commercial insect breeding facilities have attracted considerable investor interest, and insect companies are building large-scale production facilities, which became possible after the EU approved the use of insect protein as feedstock for fish farming in July 2017. Other fields, such as food and medicine, have also accelerated the application of cutting-edge technology. In the future, the global insect industry will purchase eggs or small larvae from suppliers and a system that focuses on the larval fattening, i.e., production raw material, until the insects mature, and a system that handles the entire production process from egg laying, harvesting, and initial pre-treatment of larvae., increasingly subdivided into large-scale production systems that cover all stages of insect larvae production and further processing steps such as milling, fat removal and protein or fat fractionation. In Korea, research and development of insect smart factory farms using artificial intelligence and ICT is accelerating, so insects can be used as carbon-free materials in secondary industries such as natural plastics or natural molding materials as well as existing feed and food. A Korean-style customized breeding system for shortening the breeding period or enhancing functionality is expected to be developed soon.

Among the most of manufacturing process, plastic deformation method offers a significant advantage in productivity and enable mass production with controlled quality and low cost. From the point of view, micro forming is a well suited technology in manufacturing very small metallic parts, in particular for mass production, as they are required in many industrial products. Meanwhile, Al 5083 superplastic alloy with very small grains has a great advantage in achieving micro deformation under low stress due to its relatively low strength at a specific high temperature range. This paper describes the micro formability of Al 5083 superplastic alloy and its application to die forging of micro patterns. Micro formability tests of Al 5083 superplastic alloy were carried out with the specially designed micro forging system by using V-grooved micro dies and pyramidal dies made of (100) silicon. With these dies, micro forging was conducted by varying the applied load, material temperature and forging time The micro formability of Al 5083 superplastic alloy was evaluated by comparing $R_f$ value, where $R_f\;=\;A_f/A_v$ ($A_v$ : cross-sectional area of the flowed metal, $A_v$ : cross sectional area of V-groove). The micro formability of 3 dimensional Patterns was also evaluated using Pyramidal type micro dies.

A semi-solid alloy in which solid and liquid phase are co-existing is obtained by strirring of Al7075 molten metal. A semi-solid alloy is dependent on the corresponding temperature within the solid-liquid range, and the process parameters should be controlled accurately to obtain the homogeneous semi-solid alloy. The possibility o homogeneous fiber-reinforce aluminum alloy by addition of $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$ short fibers with vigorous agitation was investigated. The billet of composite materials was fabricated by squeeze casting, and homogeneous dipersion state of fibers in billet of fabricated metal matrix composites was observed. A slurry of semi-solid short fiber metal matrix composites is used in the direct rolling process, and this process showed the fabrication possibility of metal matrix composite sheets. The fabricated sheet was tested regarding vickers hardness, elongation and micro-structure. It has become clear that mashy state processing and working are very useful to obtain parts of composites material closed to near net shape.

In this study, we investigated for natural rubber foam to replace petrochemical-based neoprene foam. Experiments were conducted on vulcanization system and 2-step foaming process of natural rubber. The vulcanization system were EV(Efficient Vulcanization Cure), Semi-EV(Semi-Efficient Vulcanization Cure) and CV(Conventional Vulcanization Cure). In the 2-step foaming process, first molding temperature was 140℃, times were 15, 20, 25, and 30minutes, and the second molding temperature was 160℃, the times 5, 10, 15, and 20minutes. The cure and viscosity characterization were evaluated by oscillating disc rheometer (ODR) and mooney viscosmeter. Various mechanical characteristics, including hardness, tensile strength, elongation at the point of rupture, and tear strength, were quantified. Subsequently, an assessment of alterations in these mechanical attributes was conducted post-immersion in a NaCl solution. In addition degree of volume change was measured after immersing the NR foam in NaCl solution and the low-temperature permanent compression set was evaluated at 4℃. And expansion ratio and shrinkage ratio of NR foam were evaluated for 28 days. As a result the EV vulcanization system showed the least change in physical properties before and after salt water immersion, and the lowest shrinkage ratio for 28 days. In addition it was confirmed that the 2-step foaming optimum condition differed depending on the appropriate vulcanization condition.

최근 화석에너지 고갈 및 에너지 수요의 폭발적 팽창을 해결하기 위하여 경량화와 내마모 측면에서 고효율 시스템을 적용한 자동차 및 각종 성형 기기들이 개발되고 있다. 특히 장치의 고성능화라는 요구조건을 충족시키기 위해서는 금속가공산업에서 표면개질의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 이러한 표면개질에는 일반적으로 표면의 성질을 개선하여 마모(abrasion) 및 국부 압력(local stress) 또는 피로(fatigue), 마식(wear and corrosion)에 견디게 하여 부품의 수명증대와 제품의 소형화에 기여하고 있다. 이러한 표면개질법에는 경질의 물질을 표면에 코팅시켜 재료표면의 특성을 향상시키는 방법과 금속의 표면에 다른 원소를 침투 및 확산시키는 방법으로 나눌 수 있다. 확산방법으로 침탄, 질화, 보로나이징, 크마이징 처리 방법 등이 있다. 상업적으로 가장 많이 사용되는 표면 개질법은 침탄기술로서, 고온에서 짧은 시간내에 물성 향상이 가능하지만, 강의 변태점 이상의 온도에서 진행됨으로서, 변형에 따른 문제가 발생되어 후처리를 필요로 하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 반면, 질화법은 변태점 이하의 저온에서 철강 표면에 N을 침투시켜 강을 경화시키는 특징을 가진다. 변형이 적고 질소원자가 강내에 침투함으로 인해 내마모성, 내피로성, 내식성 등의 물리적 성질을 향상시키는 점에서 유리하여 각종 정밀 부품 및 자동차 부품, 금형 등에 많이 사용된다. 또한, 경도 향상 및 결정구조의 영향으로 코팅처리시 모재와 코팅 층의 밀착력 향상을 가져오면 이러한 이유로 코팅 층의 하지 층으로써 각광 받고 있다. 본 발표에서는 플라즈마 질화의 이해를 높이기 위해 관련 기술에 대한 전반적인 소개와 향후 플라즈마 질화 기술의 적용이 기대되는 침탄대체 적용 가능 부품, 침류질화 기술, PECVD 공정과의 접목 등 산업적은 응용 측면에서 응용 분야에 대한 소개를 진행하고자 한다.
