Consideration on the explosion resistant design of infrastructure has increased in the recent years. The explosion load is caused by gas explosion or bomb blast. In this study an analytical model is developed, whereby the tunnel structure is divided in several elements that are schematized as single degree of freedom mass-spring-dashpot systems on gas explosion. Using this simple model a sensitivity analysis has been carried out on tunnel structure design parameters such as explosive peak pressure, duration of the load, thickness of structure, burial depth. Finite element method was used to investigate the dynamic response and plastic zone of a tunnel under gas explosion. And it was found from the comparison of the analysis results that there are slight differences in the response of the intermediate wall between the single degree of freedom mass-spring-dashpot model and FEM.

Since the generalized Hoek-Brown criterion (GHB) provides an efficient way of identifying its strength parameter values with the consideration of in-situ rock mass condition via Geological Strength Index (GSI), this criterion is recognized as one of the standard rock mass failure criteria in rock mechanics community. However, the nonlinear form of the GHB criterion makes its mathematical treatment inconvenient and limits the scope of its application. As an effort to overcome this disadvantage of the GHB criterion, the explicit approximate analytical equations for the minimum principal stress, which is associated with the maximum principal stress at failure, are formulated based on the Taylor polynomial approximation of the original GHB criterion. The accuracy of the derived approximate formula for the minimum principal stress is verified by comparing the resulting approximate minimum principal stress with the numerically calculated exact values. To provide an application example of the approximate formulation, the equivalent friction angle and cohesion for the expected plastic zone around a circular tunnel in a GHB rock mass are calculated by incorporating the formula for the approximate minimum principal stress. It is found that the simultaneous consideration of the values of mi, GSI and far-field stress is important for the accurate calculation of equivalent Mohr-Coulomb parameter values of the plastic zone.

Transparent $TiO_2$ thin films prepared by sol-gel process using the modification of titanium(IV) alkoxide showed improved thermal stability and high refraction index. Compared to the pure $TiO_2$ film, the modified $TiO_2$ films show the increased index of refraction under proper condition at pH 2.5. Transparency of these $TiO_2$ thin films were more than 80% in the visible region. It has been demonstrated that the reaction occurs in the amorphous phase: an exchange of phase results in anatase before and after 400$^{\circ}C$, in rutile over 700$^{\circ}$C form the XRD results. The particle sizes, shapes and structures of these nanoclusters in the $TiO_2$ films have been identified through a SEM and XRD. The physical properties and structures of their powders have also been studied through a SEM, XRD, TGA and DSC. The thickness and index of refraction have been determined by the analysis of ellipsometric spectra.

내진 설계규정이 적용되기 이전에 시공되어 사용 중인 교량의 경우 지진 발생시 교각의 파괴 또는 구조적 피해는 교량 전체 시스템의 붕괴를 초래하므로 지진하중에 대하여 피해를 최소화해야 한다. 이를 위해 내진설계규정이 적용되기 이전의 교량 또는 지진취약지역으로 분류된 곳의 교량, 사회적 중요도가 높은 교량에 대해 교각의 내진성능보강을 실시하고 있다. 2007년 말 국토해양부가 관리하고 있는 11,940개 교량 중 지진 발생시 피해가 우려되는 1,342개(일반국도 682개, 고속국도 600개) 교량에 대해 2006년부터 내진보강이 착수되었고 2009년에는 확대 추진하여 일반국도 80개교, 고속국도 100개교에 대한 보강을 실시하였다. 이와 같이 확대 추진되고 있는 정책에 반해, 내진보강 기술 및 제품이 부족하고 새로운 내진보강재 개발이 불가피해지고 있는 것이 현실이다. 소성영역에서의 횡방향 철근은 지진 시 종방향 철근의 좌굴과 콘크리트의 압축강도저하를 방지하며, 전단보강철근으로도 중요한 역할을 하여 교각의 전단강도를 증가시킨다. 그러나 이러한 횡방향 철근은 초기 설계에 의한 시공이 종료된 후 기존의 성능을 증가시키기 위하여 철근량을 증가하거나 단면의 변화를 주기에는 매우 어려운 일이다. 따라서 내진성능을 위한 단면력 증가를 위하여 다양한 재료의 보강재와 형식이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원형교각 모델의 구조해석을 이용해 내진성능평가를 선행한 후 실험체를 제작, Helical Bar를 보강하여 준정적 실험을 통해 내진보강성능을 평가하였다. 압축설계강도 $f_{ck}=240kgf/cm^2$를 기준으로 교량등급 2등교인 일반적인 도로교의 1/4축소모형을 설계, 기초부는 $1,200{\times}600{\times}600$ (mm)으로 철근과 콘크리트로 구성하였으며, 기둥부는 직경 400mm, 높이 1,250mm 크기의 철근콘크리트 원형 교각 실험체를 제작하였다. 제작된 실험체는 총 3개로, 분류는 무보강 일반 실험체, Helical Bar 직경에 따른 분류, 보강간격에 따른 분류로 나누어진다.

Effects of microstructure and indentation stress on fracture behavior of glass-infiltrated alumina composite for dental restorative application were investigated by the Hertzian and Vickers indentation method. Indentation stress-strain curve of glass-infiltrated alumina has showed the quasi-plastic behavior - deviation from linearity at high stress and the classical Hertzian cone crack, which could be confirmed the subsurface damage micrographs using bonded-interface specimen technique. The indentation stress-strain curves for the starting preforms are strongly dependent on porosity and microstructure of the preforms. On the other hand, the curves for the infiltrated composites are relatively insensitive to these factors. The failure of composite is originated at quasi-plastic deformation region. Damage and fracture behavior due to Hertzian stress field is theoretically examined, so that the indentation stress field plays a great role in material degradation. After Hertzian indentation annealing processing changes fracture behavior of alumina composite, so that stress field in material is healed through annealing.

In situ rock mass is generally heterogeneous and discontinuous, with varying degrees of strength along the planes of weakness. The planes of weakness such as joints, faults, cracks and bedding planes, control the strength and deformation characteristics of the rock mass. Subsequently, the stability of underground opening depends upon the spatial distribution of discontinuities and their mechanical properties in relation with geometrical shape of openins as well as the mechanical properties of intact rock materials. Understanding the behaviour of a discontinuous rock mass remains a key issue for improving excavation design in hiかy stressed environments. Although recent advances in rock mechanics have provided guidelines for the design of underground opening in isotropic rock mass, prediction and control of deformation in discontinuous rock masses are still unclear. In this study, parametric study was performed to investigate the plastic zone size, stress distribution and deformation behavior around underground opening in a discontinuous rock mass using a continuum joint model. The solutions were obtained by an elasto-plastic finite difference analysis, employing the Mohr-Coulomb failure criteria. Non-associated flow rule and perfectly plastic material behavior are also assumed.

Using a Rheometrics Fluids Spectrometer(RFS II), the steady shear flow and the small-amplitude dynamic viscoelastic properties of three kinds of semi-solid food materials(mayonnaise, tomato ketchup, and wasabi) have been measured over a wide range of shear rates and angular frequencies. The shear rate dependence of steady flow behavior and the angular frequency dependence of dynamic viscoelastic behavior were reported from the experimentally measured data. In addition, some viscoplastic flow models with a yield stress term were employed to make a quantitative evaluation of the steady flow behavior, and the applicability of these models was also examined in detail. Furthermore, the correlations between steady shear flow(nonlinear behavior) and dynamic viscoelastic(linear behavior)properties were discussed using the modified power-law flow equations. Main results obtained from this study can be summarized as follows : (1) Semi-solid food materials are regarded as viscoplastic fluids having a finite magnitude of yield stress, and their flow behavior shows shear-thinning characteristics, exhibiting a decrease in steady flow viscosity with increasing shear rate. (2) The Herschel-Bulkley, Mizrahi-Berk, and Heinz-Casson models are all applicable to describe the steady flow behavior of semi-solid food materials. Among these models, the Heinz-Casson model has the best validity. (3) Semi-solid food materials show a stronger shear-thinning behavior at shear rate region higher than a critical shear rate where a more progressive structure breakdown takes place. (4) Both the storage and loss moduli are increased with increasing angular frequency, but they have a slight dependence on angular frequency. The elastic behavior is dominant to the viscous behavior over a wide range of angular frequencies. (5) All of the steady flow, dynamic, and complex viscosities are well satisfied with the power-law model behavior. The relationships between steady shear flow and dynamic viscoelastic properties can well be described by the modified forms of the power-law flow equations.

A fretting wear test rig for dry ambient condition, which employs a piezoelectric actuator, has been developed. It is driven and loaded in a very simple manner with acceptable experimental accuracy. By using the rig, Inconel 690 tube has been tested under the normal load of 10 and 15N with sliding amplitude of less than $100{\mu}m$ during $10^6$cycles. The wear resistance of the material has been characterized in terms of the wear coefficient based on the work rate model. SEM micrographs show the complex structures of the scars, which consist of risen peaks, plate-type thin layers and locally exposed bare surfaces. The cracks spread over the layers give clue to the fretting wear mechanism of the material.

형광체를 조명과 디스플레이 산업에 응용하기 위해서는 충분히 밝은 빛을 제공하는 형광체의 발광 세기가 중요한 변수이다. 이러한 발광 특성은 주로 모체 격자에 도핑 되는 활성제의 농도, 입자의 형상과 크기 분포의 균일성, 결정성에 따라 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 Ca2SiO4 모체 결정에 도핑한 활성제 Eu3+와 Dy3+ 이온의 농도를 변화시키면서 고상 반응법을 사용하여 높은 발광 효율을 갖는 Ca2-1.5xSiO4::Eux3+ 적색 형광체와 Ca2-1.5xSiO4:Dyx3+ 백색 형광체를 합성하였다. 특히, 활성제 Eu3+와 Dy3+ 이온 농도의 변화가 형광체의 결정 구조, 소성 온도, 입자의 표면 형상, 광학 스펙트럼의 발광 효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 최적의 합성 조건을 결정하였으며, 회절 신호의 반치폭과 발광 세기의 상호 관계를 조사하였다. Ca2-1.5xSiO4::Eux3+와 Ca2-1.5xSiO4:Dyx3+ 형광체 초기 분말 시료는 CaO (99.9% 순도), SiO2 (99.9%), Dy2O3 (99.9%)와 Eu2O3 (99.9%)인 화학 물질을 구입하여 초정밀 저울로 화학양론적으로 측정하였다. 이때 Eu와 Dy의 함량비는 x=0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 mol로 변화 시키면서 합성하였다. Ca2-1.5xSiO4: Dyx3+ 형광체 분말 시료의 경우에 소결 온도를 각각 $1000^{\circ}C$와 $1100^{\circ}C$로 달리하여 흡광과 발광 스펙트럼의 세기를 비교해 본 결과, 서로 다른 두 소결 온도에서 합성한 두 형광체 분말은 동일하게 Dy3+의 몰 비가 0.05 mol일 때 주 발광 스펙트럼의 세기는 최대값을 나타내었다. 파장 355 nm로 여기시킨 Dy3+ 함량비에 따른 Ca2-1.5xSiO4:Dyx3+ 형광체 분말의 발광 스펙트럼은 Dy3+ 함량비에 관계 없이 581 nm에서 가장 강한 황색 발광을 보였다. 함량비가 증가함에 따라 발광 스펙트럼의 변화가 관측되었는데, Dy3+의 몰 비가 0.01 mol~0.05 mol인 영역에서는 발광 세기가 증가하여 0.05 mol에서 최대를 나타내다가 Dy3+의 몰 비가 더욱 증가함에 따라 발광세기는 현저히 감소하는 경향을 나타내었는데, 이 현상은 농도 소광 현상으로 해석 할 수 있다. 이외에도, Eu3+와 Dy3+ 이온의 함량비와 소결 온도가 결정 입자의 크기와 흡광 스펙트럼에 미치는 결과를 조사하였다.

This study investigated the overall dependence of the tensile properties of Al-Si alloys on the distribution aspect of a eutectic Si particle in terms of defect susceptibility to the effective void area fraction, referring to the sum of pre-existing microvoids and the damage evolution of the Si particle. The network morphology of as-cast Al-xSi (x=2,5,8,11) alloys was modified to a granular type via a T4 treatment, after which a computational topography (CT) analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations were utilized to evaluate the size and distribution of the microvoids. The CT and SEM analyses indicated that the main cracks grow along local regions that possess the highest porosity level. The local plastic deformation around the microvoids and the distribution aspect of the microvoids induced a practical difference between the iso-volumetric CT measurement and the SEM fractography outcomes. The results demonstrated that the overall dependence of the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation on the effective void area fraction is more sensitive to the variation of the area fraction of the Si particle in the network morphology than in the granular type; this is due to the sequential damage evolution of the neighboring Si particles in the eutectic Si colony.
