The tensile test is generally used to measure mechanical properties with conventional fracture test. This test is extremely certain method to measure Young's modulus, yield strength, tensile strength and so on. ASTM, by international standard, prescribes two classes of tensile tests in tubular products. One is method that specimens aren't done by any process with Tube-shape. The other is that specimens are made on process for C-shape. In this paper, we would like to present the new-shape specimens for the tensile test. The presented specimen's shape is that put two pieces of C-shape specimens together. Besides a load point and a support point are fixed like Tube-shape specimens. This shape of specimen has a difference that existing specimen is made on one-step process out this specimen is made on two-step process. This shape is considered that stress concentration phenomenon occurs at the reduced section if a specimen is made on one step process.

자동차의 경량화, 안전성 그리고 내식성 향상을 위하여 고강도 강판 및 도금 강판의 적용이 증가하면서 자동차 산업의 많은 부분에서 적용되는 저항 점용접에서도 고강도 강판과 도금강판의 적용이 증가하는 추세이다. 이에 따라 고강도 강판과 도금 강판의 낮은 용접성을 개선하기 위하여 기존의 단상 AC 용접기에서 전류 파형의 형태를 개선한 인버터 DC 용접기가 차체 조립라인에서 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고강도 강판의 저항 점용접의 연속타점 시 단상 AC용접기와 인버터 DC용접기의 전극의 연속타점 수명의 차이를 비교하고 분석하기 위해 590MPa 급 전기아연도금강판을 이용하여 AWS 규격에 연속타점실험을 기준으로 단상 AC 와 인버터 DC 용접기의 연속타점 실험을 실시하였다. 연속타점실험 중에 전극의 형상관찰을 위해 100타점 간격으로 carbon paper를 이용해 전극 직경 변화를 관찰 하였으며, 100 타점간격으로 동저항을 측정하고 인장 전단 시편과 Peel test 시편을 제작하여 연속타점 시 단상 AC와 인버터 DC 용접기의 저항 점용접 연속타점 수명을 비교 분석하였다. 그리고 연속타점 실험 후 사용된 전극의 표면과 단면 형상을 각각 OM, SEM, EDX로 분석하여 전극 표면의 Zn과 합금화 된 전극의 합금층을 분석하였다. 그 결과 590MPa급 전기아연도금강판의 저항 점용점 연속타점 수명평가에서 인버터 DC 용접기가 단상 AC 용접기보다 200타점 더 우수한 연속타점 수명을 보유하였다. 특히 인장강도 기준 측면에서는 인버터 DC 용접기의 전극 연속타점수명은 매우 우수하다.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new feature selection method for AE signal classification. The neural network of back propagation algorithm is used. The proposed feature selection method uses the difference between feature coordinates in feature space. This method is compared with the existing methods such as Fisher's criterion, class mean scatter criterion and eigenvector analysis in terms of the recognition rate and the convergence speed, using the signals from the defects in welding zone of austenitic stainless steel and in the metal contact of the rotary compressor. The proposed feature selection methods such as 2-D and 3-D criteria showed better results in the recognition rate than the existing ones.

Laboratory-scale hydraulic fracturing experiments were conducted on granite specimens at various viscosities and injection rates of the fracturing fluid. A series of cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) images of fractured specimens was obtained via a three-dimensional X-ray CT imaging method. Pixel-level fracture segmentation of the CT images was conducted using a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based Nested U-Net model structure. Compared with traditional image processing methods, the CNN-based model showed a better performance in the extraction of thin and complex fractures. These extracted fractures extracted were reconstructed in three dimensions and morphologically analyzed based on their fracture volume, aperture, tortuosity, and surface roughness. The fracture volume and aperture increased with the increase in viscosity of the fracturing fluid, while the tortuosity and roughness of the fracture surface decreased. The findings also confirmed the anisotropic tortuosity and roughness of the fracture surface. In this study, a CNN-based model was used to perform accurate fracture segmentation, and quantitative analysis of hydraulic stimulated fractures was conducted successfully.

This study presents the correlations between quantified particle shape parameters and internal friction angles for nine sand specimens including six natural sands and three crushed sands. Specimens are subjected to 3D X-ray computed tomographic imaging and their particles are segmented through the aid of image processing techniques. Shapes of segmented particles are then quantified through two shape parameters such as sphericity and elongation. The direct shear apparatus enables us to measure peak and critical state friction angles of sand specimens of distinct relative densities. The gathered data show that decreasing sphericity and increasing elongation cause increases in peak and critical state friction angle with similar gradients.

A three-way reversing valve, which provides rapid and accurate changes in the water flow direction without requiring any precise control device, is used in automotive washing machines to remove oil and dirt that remain on the machined engine and transmission blocks. Because of the complicated shape of the bottom-plug, however, cavitation occurs in the plug. In this study, the cavitation index and POC (percent of cavitation) were used to quantitatively evaluate the cavitation effect occurring in the bottom-plug on the downstream side. An optimal shape design was conducted via parametric study with a simple CAE model to avoid time-consuming CFD analysis and hard-to-achieve convergence. To verify the results of the numerical analysis, a flow visualization test was conducted using a specimen prepared according to ISA-RP75.23. In this test, the flow characteristics, such as cavitation occurring on the downstream side, were investigated using flow test equipment that included a valve, pump, flow control system, and high-speed camera.

In this study, antibacterial chlorhexidine (CHX)-containing hydroxyapatite (HAp) was coated on titanium and investigated its characteristics. Ti-mSBF-CHX group was prepared by soaking titanium disks in the modified simulated body fluid (mSBF) mixed with CHX. Ti-mSBF group was coated using mSBF without CHX. Ti-mSBF-adCHX group was prepared by soaking Ti-mSBF specimen in CHX-containing solution. The crystallines clusters composed with nano-shaped crystallites were coated on the surface of the Ti-mSBF specimen. The ribbon-shaped crystallites were observed with the crystalline clusters on the Ti-mSBF-CHX specimen. The content of CHX chemical compositions was high in ribbon-shaped crystallites. HAp crystalline structure was dominant for all prepared specimens, and ${\beta}-TCP$ (tricalcium phosphate) and OCP (octacalcium phosphate) crystalline structures were observed in the Ti-mSBF-CHX specimen. FT-IR spectra showed the strong peaks of CHX in Ti-mSBF-adCHX and Ti-mSBF-CHX groups. However, after immersing in a phosphate buffered saline (PBS), CHX was rapidly released in Ti-mSBF-adCHX group, while it was slowly released in Ti-mSBF-CHX. We expect that the coating method of Ti-mSBF-CHX group could be used for protecting inflammation of titanium implant by incorporating antibacterial agent CHX into HAp layer.

물리증착(physical vapor deposition; PVD)은 진공 또는 특정 가스 분위기에서 고상의 물질을 기화시켜 기판에 피막을 형성하는 방법으로 증발과 스퍼터링 그리고 이온플레이팅 등이 있다. PVD 방법으로 박막을 제작하면 대부분의 박막은 주상정 구조로 성장하게 된다. 이러한 주상정의 조직을 제어하는 방법으로 빗각 증착(oblique angle deposition; OAD) 기술이 있다. OAD는 타겟(증발원)에 대해서 기판을 평행하게 배치하는 일반적인 코팅방법과는 달리 기판의 수직성분과 타겟의 수직성분이 이루는 각도가 0도 이상이 되도록 조절하여 기판을 기울인 상태로 코팅하는 방법을 말한다. OAD 방법을 이용하면 기판으로 입사하는 증기가 초기에 생성된 핵(seed)에 의해 shadowing이 발생하면서 증기가 수직으로 입사하는 normal 증착과는 다른 형상의 성장 조직이 만들어지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 OAD 방법을 이용하여 Al과 TiN 박막을 제조하고 그 특성을 비교하였다. Al 박막은 UBM (Un-Balanced Magnetron) 스퍼터링 소스를 이용하여 빗각을 각각 0, 30, 45, 60 및 90도의 각도에서 강판 및 실리콘 웨이퍼 상에 시편을 제조하되 단층 및 다층으로 시편을 제조하고 치밀도와 함께 조도와 반사율을 비교하고 염수분무시험을 이용하여 내식성을 평가하였다. TiN 박막은 Cathodic Arc 방식을 이용하되 Al 박막과 동일한 방법으로 코팅을 하고 내식성 및 경도 등의 특성을 비교하였다. TiN 박막은 경사각이 커지면서 경도가 낮아졌으나 바이어스 전압을 이용하여 다층으로 제조함에 의해 경도는 유지하면서 modulus를 낮출 수 있어서 박막의 신뢰성을 나타내는 H3/E2 값은 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

나노결정질 다이아몬드(Nanocrystalline Diamond: NCD) 박막은 고경도와 낮은 마찰계수를 가지고 있어 고속도강과 같은 절삭공구 위에 코팅하여 공구의 성능 향상을 도모하고자 하는 노력이 있어 왔다. 그러나 NCD 박막의 잔류응력이 크고, 철계금속에는 NCD가 증착되지 않는다는 문제점이 있다. 잔류응력 완화와 다이아몬드 핵생성을 위하여 제3의 중간층 재료가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 Ti과 W을 중간층으로 하여 고속도강(SKH51)에 NCD 박막을 코팅하고 기계적 특성을 비교하였다. 고속도강 위에 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터를 이용하여 2 ${\mu}m$ 두께의 Ti 또는 W 중간층을 증착하고, 그 위에 Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (MPCVD) 방법으로 NCD 박막을 2 ${\mu}m$ 두께로 코팅 한 것과 Ti, W순으로 각각 1 ${\mu}m$ 두께로 증착 후 그 위에 NCD 박막을 2 ${\mu}m$ 두께로 코팅 한 시편을 비교하였다. 세 가지 종류의 시편에 대하여 FESEM을 이용하여 표면과 단면의 형상을 관찰하였고, XRD와 Raman spectroscopy를 통해 NCD 박막의 결정성을 확인하였다. 그리고 Tribometer를 이용해 코팅된 박막의 내마모성을 비교하였으며 Rockwell C Indentation test를 이용하여 접합력을 비교하였다. 연구 결과 Ti/W 복합중간층 위에 코팅된 NCD의 접합력이 가장 우수하였으며 그 다음 W, Ti 순으로 나타났다. NCD와 고속도강의 큰 열팽창계수 차이가 복합중간층으로 인해 줄어들고 잔류응력이 완화되어 접합력이 향상되는 것으로 여겨진다.

In this paper, fracture behavior of laminated composites with notch was studied by cohesive zone modeling approach. The numerical modeling proceeded by first generating 3 dimensional solid element meshes for notched laminated composite coupon configurations. Then cohesive elements representing failure modes of fiber fracture, matrix cracking and delamination were inserted between bulk elements in all regions where the corresponding failures were likely to occur. Next, progressive failure analyses were performed simulating uniaxial tensile tests. The numerical results were compared to those by experiment available in the literature for verification of the analysis approach. Finally, notched laminated composite configurations with selected stacking sequences were analyzed and the failure behavior was carefully examined focusing on the failure initiation and progression and the dominating failure modes.
