The resonance characteristics on vibration mode of a transverse type ceramic resonator and the output voltage characteristics of a piezoelectric ceramic transformer are discussed in the effects of partial electrode arrangement (one sided, centered and both sided). A resonance characteristics of resonator depended strongly on both a vibration mode and a electrode structure because of a strain distribution. The maximum resonance current of a piezoelectric ceramic transformer [PCT] with partial centered electrode appeared in λ/2 mode, and that of a PCT with partial both sided electrode appeared in 3λ/2 mode. But the maximum output voltage of those samples appeared in λ/2 mode. In the PCT with partial both sided electrode, the ration of output voltage to input current was highest out of all samples and the poling voltage was a half times of 깬두 type transformer.

A numerical analysis of the pulse-jet cleaning characteristics in a porous ceramic candle filter system was performed. To obtain the detailed velocity and pressure distribution during the cleaning process in a porous filter system, the axi-symmetric compressible Navier-Stokes equations including energy conservation equation were solved by using the FLUENT code which adopts FVM (Finite Volume Method). The effects of pulse cleaning nozzle diameter, nozzle tip position, permeability of a porous ceramic candle filter, diffuser throat diameter, and cleaning pressure on the cleaning flow characteristics were investigated extensively.

The common practice for the identification of piezoelectric properties is based on the use of immittance of a resonator with a certain geometry and poling direction. In this paper, a new method is suggested to identify the complex-valued piezoelectric material constants. This method Is based on the minimization of differences between the analytical immittance and the experimental measurement of resonator. Non-linear minimization problems are formulated to find out the unknown properties relevant to the resonators. The immittance data used for identification are measured at a number of frequencies which cover the vicinity of resonance frequency and the low frequency region. To illustrate the proposed technique, the complex-valued coefficients are identified for a typical PZT4 ceramic composition.

A novel nanofabrication process has been developed using two-photon crosslinking (TPC) for the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) SiCN ceramic microstructures applicable to high functional 3D devices, which can be used in harsh working environments requiring a high temperature, a resistance to chemical corrosion, as well as tribological properties. After sequential processes: TPC and pyrolysis, 3D ceramic microstructures are obtained. However, large shrinkage due to low-ceramic yield during the pyrolysis is a serious problem to be solved in the precise fabrication of 3D ceramic microstructures. In this work, silica nanoparticles were employed as a filler to reduce the amount of shrinkage. In particular, the ceramic microstructures containing 40 wt% silica nanoparticles exhibited relatively isotropic shrinkage owing to its sliding free from the substrate during pyrolysis.

A high intensity focuses ultrasound (HIFU) is one of the emerging technologies in the biomedical field. The piezoelectric HIFU transducer is a device that utilizes the thermal energy generated by high ultrasound energy. Recently an operating frequency of the HIFU transducer is to expand above a 7 MHz. In this study, the acoustic pressures and temperature distributions in the tissue that generated by the HIFU transducer at 10 MHz were calculated with the finite element method. In addition, the pressure focusing characteristics of the device were analyzed. The geometrical variables are the piezomaterial thickness, lens shape, water height, and film thickness. The results shown that the acoustic pressure increased and saturated gradually when the height/radius (H_L/R_L) ratio of the lens increased. Moreover, the focal area was gradually decreases with H_L/R_L ratio of the lens. In case of the optimized HIFU transducer, the maximum pressure and temperature were analyzed about 19 MPa and 65℃ respectively. And the -3 dB focused distances in the axial and lateral direction are around 2.3 mm and 0.23 mm respectively.

The preceramic polymer can realize a variety of complex ceramic structures that can not be obtained by conventional ceramic processes. Polycarbosilane, which is a typical preceramic polymer, can control the molecular structure, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution for preparing complex morphology and microstructure of SiC ceramics, including SiC fiber. In this paper, synthesis and molecular structure control technique of polycarbosilane is explained. The silicon carbide fiber prepared by melt spinning, stabilization and heat treatment, and ceramic fiber composites technology made by PIP process are also discussed. In addition, we introduce an example of the development of a complex silicon carbide material such as a silicon carbide hollow fiber having a nanoporous structure.

외부에서 자극이 가해질 때 상전이(phase transformations)하는 방식으로 대응하는 재료들이 최근 다양하게 연구되고 있다. 예를 들어 형상기억합금은 주변 온도의 변화에 대응하여 그 형상을 변화시키는데 이 과정은 미시적으로는 격자의 형태가 - 예를 들면 정방형 격자에서 입방형격자로 혹은 그 반대로 - 변화하는 과정이다. 강유전체 역시 외부에서 인가되는 전계의 변화에 대응하여 그 격자구조가 변하는데 그와 함께 기계적 변형이 동반하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 상전이를 하는 재료에 적용될 수 있는 1차원 구성방정식을 강유전체의 예를 들어 제시하고 간단한 계산결과를 보이기로 한다. 본 모델을 확장하여 강유전체에서의 분극역전(polarization reversals)에 대한 3차원 유한요소 모델을 개발하고 응용하려는 시도가 이루어지고 있다.

세라믹스는 우수한 기계적, 전기적, 화학적성질로 인하여 여러방면에서 점점 기대가 높아가 고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 그 이용 범위나, 응용이 늦은 것은 가공성에 문제가 있기 때문 이라 해도 과언이 아닐 것이다. 세라믹스의 가공법으로서는 주로 다이야몬드 지립을 이용한 연삭, 절단, 래핑등이 행하여지고 있지만 이러한 방법은 가공 능률이낮기 때문에 생산성에 많은 문제를 안고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다이야몬드공구와 산화물계 A1$_{2}$0$_{3}$를 피삭재로 하여 다양한 절삭조건과 공구의 형상을 변화시켜 선삭 실험을 통하여 절삭력의 크기, 칩의 형태, 공작물의 형상, 표면조도 및 공구마멸등 절삭의 특성을 검토 하였으며 절삭에 의한 파인세라믹 스의 가공 가능성을 확인하고자 한다.

A ceramic glass mold was developed for micro hot-embossing and replicated polymer parts are fabricated. The glass-ceramic micro mold could be fabricated with a laser process and a wet etching process and the fabrication time could be saved a lot. Various polymer micro structures can be obtained by hot-embossing. The process parameters such as ho-embossing temperatures or pressures were investigated and optimized. This process can be applied for fabrication of micro structures for flip-chips or micro fluidic channels for bio-engineering. The advantages and disadvantages of this process are discussed, too.
