Microstructures of free surface and interior of glass-ceramics obtained by heat treating silicate glass specimen containing electric arc furnace dust(EAF dust) were observed. The crystallization temperature, $T_c$ of glassy specimen was measured around $850^{\circ}C$ from the result of different thermal analysis so heat treatment temperature to obtain glass-ceramic specimen was selected as $950^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. Glass specimens containing 50 wt% dust were amorphous, while glass specimens containing 70 wt% dust showed spinel crystal peaks in XRD results. In case of glass-ceramic specimens, spinel crystalline phase was appeared with willemite, and willemite crystal peak intensity increased with increasing dust contents. The fractured surface of glass specimens containing 50 wt% dust was smooth like mirror surface, but that containing 70 wt% dust showed spinel crystals of 10 ${\mu}m$ size in glass matrix. In case of glass-ceramic specimens, ZnO crystal particles of $2{\sim}5{\mu}m$ size were produced in free surface and glassy phase, spinel and willemite crystal phases existed in interior. There were no crystals in glasses containing 50 wt% dust, while glass containing 70 wt% dust had 14 vol% crystals. Crystallinity of glass-ceramic specimens containing 50 and 70 wt% dust were 19 and 43%, respectively. When microstructures of glass and glass-ceramic specimens were observed through SEM after TCLP experiment, glass specimens showed flaking phenomenon while glass-ceramic specimens showed a slight corrosion evidence without any cracks.

This study described a method of thermoluminescence dating of pottery shards using subtraction method. TL measurement was achieved using two different types of samples prepared by quartz inclusion method and fine-grain technique. Fine grains (size range: $5-10{\mu}m$) were separated by suspending grounded pottery samples into acetone solution and sedimentation quantitatively. In quartz inclusion method quartz grains in the size range of 90 to $125{\mu}m$ diameter were obtained by extracting the quartz crystals embed in the pottery shards and etching them with 1.0 M HF solutions. The archaeological dose of both the quartz and fine grains was determined from the dose calibration curves obtained from sequential irradiation of $^{137}Cs$ gamma and $^{241}Am$ alpha source to the samples and TL measurement of natural samples, in which the alpha dose of 4.60 Gy for the Packjae pottery was obtained using subtraction method. Annual alpha dose rates ($3.05{\pm}0.11$ mGy/yr.) were determined by the analysis of U, Th contents in the pottery shards and evaluation of the values with Bell's equation. Dividing the alpha dose accumulated in the pottery shards by the annual alpha dose rate, we found age of approximately $1508{\pm}80$ years B.P. (AD. ca. 492 yr.) for the Packjae pottery. It matches well with the archeological age estimate (middle of 5th century) within 10 percent uncertainty and thereby conforms the age of the pottery sample.

The influence of thermal treatment and cold drawing was investigated for poly(ethy1ene terephthalate) films fabricated with various experimental conditions. Samples were elongated at room temperature under stepwise-drawing condition with the cross-head speed kom 0.5 to 500 mrdmin in an universal tester. Stress oscillation was observed in the stress-stnin curve of the samples heat-treatd at 50, 72 and $129^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, but it was not observed in the samples heat-treatd at $83^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Thermal analyses of the samples were carried out in differential scanning calorimeter at the heating rate df $10^{\circ}C$/min/min, and the glass transition temperature, crystallization peak, enthalpy of fusion and degree of crystallinity were measured. The dynamic mechanical analyses of the samples were also carried out in a multiplefimction internal kiction pendulum at 1 Hz with the heating rate of $1.5^{\circ}C$/min, and it was found that the elastic modulus increases in the order of non-treated, heat-treated, and elongated samples.

In the study of foaming a general waste glass, sample 1 to 5 were made in a various foaming conditions, measurements of pH, density, compressive strength, thermal conductivity, and the sound absorption rate were carried out. Sample I showed the most small pore, and sample 5 showed pores of 3 times larger than that of sample 1. In terms of pore size, Sample 5 was foamed mostly well, but except lower density compressive strength, efficiency of sound absorption, testing in sound room were obtained below the minimum values is lower. In the case of Sample 1 it showed $0.58g/cm^3$, but the final target value was $0.8g/cm^3$. In the case of compressive strength it showed $22kg/cm^3$, which is above value of the final target. The efficiency of sound absorption of Sample 1 showed NRC 0.68, which is close to the final target of NRC 0.7.

We fabricated rod-like poly(lactic acid)(PLA) specimens through applying various methods of equal-channel angular extrusion(ECAE) process and investigated the change of thermal and mechanical properties of specimens before and after each ECAE process. Combining three re-injection routes(A, BC, and C) and three pass counts(1, 2 and 4) allowed us to fabricate 7 different PLA specimens. Thermal properties of each specimen were measured by both differential scanning calorimeter and thermo-gravimetric analyzer. Shear strains of each specimen with respect to applied loads were measured by indentation hardness tester. Field emmision scanning electron microscopy was used to observe internal microstructure of cross-section of each specimen. The observed microstructures qualitatively supported the explanation of hardness test results. Among 7 specimens, PLA-P2A showed the biggest shear strain probably due to its dense microstructure.

In this study, a virtual specimen with a linear continuous gradient of void ratio (FGM: Functional Graded Material) is constructed using low-order probability functions of two real cement paste specimens. Two real specimens with difference void ratios are taken from X-ray CT to construct the virtual specimen. A virtual specimen with a gradient void distribution, whose average void ratio is between void ratios of two homogeneous real specimens, is constructed using a stochastic optimization approach. The void ratio distribution is assumed to be linear, and continuously varies in the vertical direction. In this study, a gradient term of void ratio is incorporated into the objective function as well as low-order probability functions from the previous research. To confirm the effect of gradient void distribution on the material response, air permeability is evaluated using finite element analysis. The analysis results are compared with experimental results, and confirm the effect of gradient void distribution on permeability.

티타늄 화합물은 뛰어난 물리적 특성과 인체 무해성을 가지고 있어 생체, 내식 및 내마모 재료 등에 널리 응용되고 있으며, 다양한 색상 구현을 통한 미려한 외관 등 기능성을 위한 표면처리 분야에도 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 이중 질화 티타늄은 금색을 대체할 수 있는 물질로 코팅방법과 기판온도, 바이어스, 질소유량 등과 같은 공정변수 제어를 통해 그 물성을 변화시킬 수 있어 기능적 측면과 함께 미려한 외관처리에 응용이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 아크(cathodic arc) 코팅 시스템을 이용하여 다양한 조건에서 TiN 박막을 제조하고 그 특성을 평가하였다. 아크 장비는 화합물 박막을 코팅할 수 있는 아크 소스와 시편 홀더, 가스 주입구, 시편 가열장치 그리고 배기 장치로 구성되어 있고, 아크 소스에 장착된 타겟은 99.5%의 Ti 타겟을 사용하였다. 시편과 타겟 간의 거리는 약 31cm이며, 시편은 알코올과 아세톤으로 초음파 세척 된 강판(냉연 강판), 실리콘 웨이퍼를 사용하였다. 시편을 진공용기에 장착하고 ${\sim}10^{-6}$ Torr까지 진공배기를 실시하고, Ar 가스를 진공용기 내로 공급하여 ${\sim}10^{-4}$ Torr에서 시편에 bias (Pulse : 400V)를 인가한 후 아크를 발생시켜 약 5분간 청정을 실시하였다. 플라즈마 청정이 끝나면 시편에 인가된 bias를 차단하고, 질소 유량, 온도, bias, 시간 등의 공정변수에 따라 코팅을 실시하였다. 질소의 유량이 80sccm 일 때, Ti 금속 결정구조가 나타났는데, 이는 질소와 충분하게 반응하지 못한 Ti이 기판에 코팅되어 나타나는 현상으로 판단된다. 색상변화에서는 질소 유량이 증가함에 따라 노란색이 짙어지며, TiN은 시편에 인가되는 bias 전압이 높아질수록 붉은색이 증가하고, 온도에 따른 큰 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 공정변수에 따른 반사율 변화는 TiN의 경우 질소 가스 유량이 200sccm, bias 150V, 공정 온도 200도에서 반사율이 가장 높았으며, 코팅 시간이 짧을수록 반사율이 높아지는 경향을 나타냈다. 따라서 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 외관 코팅 분야에 응용한다면 장식성과 외관의 경도, 내마모성, 내식성의 향상 등 많은 장점을 가질 것으로 예상된다.

Ultrasonic decontamination of the type 304 stainless steel specimen loosely contaminated with $Eu_2O_3$ powders was investigated. Decontamination factors (DFs) by the three kinds of ultrasonic media such as water, pure PFC (Pefluorocarbon, $C_7F_{16}$) and a mixed solution of $99.9\;vol\%\;PFC\;and\;0.1\;vol\%$ anionic surfactant were determined. The determined DF values were 20, 50 and 200, respectively. This significant difference in the decontamination factors for the different decontamination solution was well explained by the surface tension of the media as well as the interaction between the positively charged surface of $Eu_2O_3$ powders and the anionic surfactant. Ultrasonic decontamination behavior of the loosely contaminated metal specimens such as plate, pipe, welding specimen and crevice specimen in the mixed solution of PFC and anionic surfactant was also investigated. The contaminants were completely removed for the tested specimens except for the longest specimen. For 6-cm long pipe specimen, however, $98.5\%$ of the contaminants were removed.

Using three-dimensional (3-D) FE analyses, this paper provides a method for analyzing the effects on stresses and strains produced by angular and concentric misalignment of a test specimen for a torsion test. To quantitativele compare of the FE results, the average bending strain for the angular, concentric, and combined misalignment was proposed. To verify the effects of axial misalignment of the test specimens, we used both circular and tubular specimens. From the FE results, we proposed general predictions for the effects caused by the various types of axial misalignment and its direction. In addition, we confirmed the effect of initial yielding moment based on the initial yielding condition for axial misalignment of specimens in torsion tests.

In this work, tensile tests, one of the most common test method to assess the condition of a corroded pipe, were conducted. According to ASTM E8 method, the use of flat or curved uni-axial tension test is allowed under the recommendation with the usage of grips corresponding to a curvature of the pipe. However, this method is not for corroded specimen. Furthermore, in the case of performing the multiple tensile tests with various curvatures, it is desirable not to produce zigs that fit each curvatures, if merely processing the specimen grip with curvature into the flat grip can show almost identical tensile behavior. Therefore, various tension simulations were conducted first to check if there exist any differences. Also, experiments on corroded tensile specimen were conducted and compared with the FEM simulation that reflects the actual geometry acquired from the 3D scanner.
