A study has been conducted on the bulging process of liquid rocket engine nozzle which is essential to the manufacturing regenerative cooling combustion chamber. Mechanical properties of the material used for the bulging were experimentally obtained by tension tests. Deformation of the bulged nozzle was confirmed by a structural analysis. The developed bulging process and the deformation analysis result were confirmed by manufacturing of the bulged nozzle specimens and the bulging test. There has been a bulging failure among 7 bulged specimens due to the necking of the material. The cause of necking was investigated by comparing microstructure of the material. The investigation has revealed grain size of the material has considerable effect on the occurrence of the necking.

Studies on the electrical treeing deterioration and dielectric breakdown phenomena in the polymeric insulator of polyethylene and epoxy resin were carried out. Block type samples with needle-plane electrode geometry were electrically stressed and the tree pattern from the needle tip was observed. In LDPE the density of electrical tree was very high and its pattern was bush type. For the case of XLPE, branched tree was observed. As temperature and SN content increased, the dielectric breakdown voltage decreased and the treeing phenomena became more complicated. Fan type cracks were observed around the conducting tree path in the brittle DGEBA/MDA system.

The coating of metal surface with carbon nanotubes(CNTs) has been studied for the heat transfer enhancement of the boiling and condensation of refrigerant. The multiwalled carbon nanotube/copper oxide(CuO) composite powder, which has been surface modified by dispersant and polyvinyl alcohol solution, was ultrasonically sprayed and sintered on a copper wafer. In this paper, experiments were performed to assess the characterization and comparison of the carbon nanotube before and after sinterning and the morphology changes of the CNT/CuO-coated surface by using different dispersants. The dispersants used are THF (Tetrahydrofuran), SDBS(Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid sodium salt), SDS(Sodium dodecy sulfate). The samples were examined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) and Raman spectroscopy.

발전 설비는 기대 수명동안의 안정성을 확보하기 위하여 해당 규격에 부합하도록 설계하여 건설된다. 하지만 가동 중 다양한 복합 환경에 노출됨에 따라 구조물을 이루고 있는 재료의 열화 현상이 가속화되어 예기치 못한 파손이 발생할 수 있다. 기계적 물성은 재료의 기계적 거동을 나타내는 주요 척도가 되며 이는 신뢰성 및 안전과 직결된다. 하지만 기존의 역학물성을 측정하는 대부분의 시험법들은 특정 크기의 시편을 요구하고 파괴적인 시험법이기 때문에 가동 중 시설물에 적용하기가 불가능하였다. 이러한 한계점을 극복하고자 비파괴적이고 정량적인 시험이 가능한 연속압입시험법이 최근 각광받는 시험법으로서 많은 연구자들에 의해 연구되고 있다. 이 시험법은 시험 대상물의 형상에 제약을 받지 않으며 시험 절차가 매우 간단하다는 장점을 가진다. 또한 대상의 국소 부위에 시험할 수 있어 취약 부위 판별이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 대표응력-대표변형률 기법을 통하여 인장물성을 평가하고, 압입 하중 차이를 이용하여 소재에 존재하는 잔류응력을 평가하는 기법을 소개한다. 또한, 연속압입시험을 이용하여 실제 발전소 파이프의 취약부위로 알려진 용접부에 대하여 인장물성 및 잔류응력을 측정함으로써 실제 산업체의 신뢰성 평가가 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Copper deposition studies have been actively studied since interests on 3D SiP were increased. The defects inside via can be easily formed due to the current density differences on entrance, bottom and wall of via. So far many different additives and current types were discussed and optimized to obtain void-free copper via filling. In this research acid cupric sulfate plating bath containing additives such as PEG, SPS, JGB, PEI and wave current applied electroplating were examined. The size and shape of grain were influenced by the types of organic additives. The cross section of specimen were analyzed by FESEM. When PEI was added, the denser copper deposits were obtained. Electroplaing time was reduced when 2 step via filling was employed.

In this study, low velocity impact analysis on composite sandwich structure was performed. Sandwich structure configuration is made of Carbon-Epoxy face sheets and foam cores. For validating study, the results of an experimental and a finite element method analysis were compared previously. From the finite element method analysis results of sandwich panel, it was confirmed that the results of analysis was reasonable. Impactor velocity to initiate damage was estimated, and in order to investigate the damage at the predicted velocity, impact analysis using finite element method was performed. According to the impact analysis results of sandwich panel, it was confirmed that the damage was generated at the estimated impact velocity. Finally, The comparison of the numerical results with those measured by the experiment showed good agreement.

An high frequency induction hardening technology of vehicle body press-formed of thin sheet steel has been developed to increase the strength of vehicle body parts locally by high frequency induction heating, thereby eliminating the need for reinforcements. And this technique for increasing the tensile strength of sheet steel was practically applied to the front floor cross member and center pillar reinforcement of a passenger car. The side impact behavior has been investigated when induction hardening technology is applied to the conventional low-carbon steel and weight reduction of an automotive body is expected. In this paper, basic experiments were performed for the hat-shaped specimen under high frequency induction heating process. Martensitic transformation was found in the heating zone through microscopic observation which showed higher hardness. In addition, the hardness and strength of the center-pillar specimen made of boron steel increased remarkably by high frequency induction heating.

Residual stress is a dominant obstacle to efficient production and safe usage of products by reducing the mechanical strength and failure properties. Especially, it causes interfacial failure and substrate deflection in the case of thin film. So, the exact evaluation and optimum control of thin film residual stress is indispensable. However, hole drilling or X-ray diffraction techniques have some limits in application to thin film. And, curvature technique for thin film materials cannot give the information about local stress variation. Therefore, we applied the nanoindentation technique in evaluating the thin film residual stress. In this study, we modeled the change of indentation loading curve for residually stressed and stress-free thin films during stress relaxation. The value of residual stress was directly related to the indentation depth change by relaxation. The residual stress from nanoindentation analysis was consistent with the result from curvature technique.

본 연구에서는 차체 부품의 경량소재 대체에 따른 Panel Assembly Rear Seat Back 부품 제작에 최신 저입열 미그용접공정을 적용한 TWB(Tailor Welded Blank) 공정기술을 확보하기 위해 최적 용접조건 도출에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 용접 후 성형이 이뤄지는 제조공정의 특성 상 성형강도에 중점을 둔 실험을 진행하였으며, 이를 위해 각 와이어에 따른 용접부의 기계/금속학적 특성이 평가되었다. 대상 시편은 6천계열 열처리형 합금이며, 두께는 각각 1.6t, 1.4t로 이를 맞대기 용접 후 그 특성을 평가하였다. 용접은 저입열 GMA용접 공법 중 하나인 CMT 용접법(Cold Metal Transfer)을 사용하였으며, 평가 대상 와이어로는 4043, 4047, 5183 및 5356이 사용되었다. 특성평가는 마크로 및 마이크로 조직, 경도, 인장강도, 기공 및 결함, 성형강도 등에 대해 이뤄졌으며, 희석된 와이어의 조성이 용접부 특성에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 검토되었다. 실험 결과, 5천계열 와이어가 성형강도에 비교적 더 강인한 결과를 나타냈으며 성형강도는 용접조건 및 초기 갭에 대한 영향은 받았으나, 비드형상과 강도간의 연관성은 찾을 수 없었다. 이에 따라 TWB 적용을 위한 와이어로는 5356이 가장 우수한 것으로 판명되었다.
