This computational study features the transient compressible and inviscid flow analysis on a metallic plasma discharge from the opposing composite electrodes which is subjected to pulsed electric power. The computations have been performed using the flux corrected transport algorithm on the axisymmetric two-dimensional domain of electrode gap and outer space along with the calculation of plasma compositions and thermophysical properties such as plasma electrical conductivity. The mass ablation from aluminum electrode surfaces are modeled with radiative flux from plasma column experiencing intense Joule heating. The computational results shows the highly ionized and highly under-expanded supersonic plasma discharge with strong shock structure of Mach disk and blast wave propagation, which is very similar to muzzle blast or axial plasma jet flows. Also, the geometrical effects of composite electrodes are investigated to compare the amount of mass ablation and penetration depth of plasma discharge.

플라즈마를 이용한 cleaning, etching, sputtering 공정에서 발생하는 마이크로아크방전이나 turn-off후의 잔류정전기는 공정대상물의 절연파괴나 전자소자에 전기적 손상을 유발함으로서 공정의 불량률을 증가시키는 중요한 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 잔류정전기를 관찰하기위하여 실린더형 챔버구조의 평행평판 전극구조를 지닌 용량결합형 플라즈마에서 powered electrode에 부착된 유전체 기판 표면의 잔류 정전기의 변화 양상을 planar type probe로 측정해보았다. 300mtorr 압력에서 아르곤가스로 발생시킨 플라즈마가 존재할 때 낮은 음전위 평균값을 가지던 기판표면 전위가 전력인가가 중지되었을때 20V 가량의 양전위를 가질 수 있음을 측정 하였고, 이것을 COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS TOOL을 활용한 시뮬레이션과 비교하였다. 이 현상이 파워인가 전극이 플라즈마 영역에 노출되느냐에 따라 발생할 수 있음을 알게 되었고, 그 크기와 지속시간은 입력전력 및 블로킹 커패시터와 유전체 기판의 정전용량에 의존함을 확인 하였다.

AC 이중전기영동(AC electrophoresis)의 원리를 이용하여 탄소나노튜브 팁 제작용 탄소나노튜브 시편의 기초 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 방법은, 끝이 뽀족한 다수의 팁(tip)에 탄소나노튜브를 비교적 균일하게 부착시킬 수 있는 공정의 기반이 된다. 이것은 탄소나노튜브를 이용한 나노팁(nano-tip)이나 탄소나노튜브 나노그리퍼(nanogripper) 제작 공정에 균일성을 확보할 수 있는 중요한 방법으로 활용될 수 있다. 탄소나노튜브 시편의 제작을 위해, 끝단이 곡률반경이 50nm 정도인 텅스텐 팁과 직경 1.5mm, 깊이 1.5mm의 실린더형 금속전극을 사용했다.(중략)

This paper experimentally investigates the steady shear behaviors of electro-rheological(ER) fluids under flow mode at high pressure level. As for the ER fluid to be tested, two types of ER fluids are employed; water-based ER fluids (ERF 1, ERF 2) and water-free ER fluid(ERF 3). The water-based ER fluids are composed inhousingly, and the concentrations of dispersed particles are 20 wt% and 30 wt% for ERF 1 and ERF 2, respectively. To generate the flow mode at high pressure, an experimental apparatus operated by two-way hydraulic cylinder is constructed and utilized. The pressure difference is measured by the pressure sensor, while the flow rate is calculated using the measured data of the displacement sensor(LVDT). Consequently, the shear stress and shear rate are distilled by incorporating the measured data; the pressure difference and the flow rate.

In this paper, dynamic modeling of hull structure including surface-bonded piezoelectric composite actuator was developed and structural vibration control performance was evaluated. Cylindrical shell structure with end-caps was considered as a host structure which could be used as a simple model of fuselage of aircraft and underwater vehicles. An advanced piezoelectric composite, macro-fiber composite(MFC), which has been developed in NASA Langley Research Center was applied for the effective structural vibration control. MFC has great flexibility by using piezoceramic fiber sheet and enhanced piezoelectric effect for in-plane motion by utilizing interdigitated electrode. Governing Equations were derived from the finite element model and modal characteristics were investigated. Modal test was conducted to verify the finite element model. Optimal controller was designed and implemented for the evaluation of vibration control performance. Structural vibration was controlled effectively by applying proper control input to the piezoelectric actuators.

Experimental studies were carried out to investigate the effects on flame propagation of gasoline-air mixtures by different electrostatic discharge energies in a cylindrical chamber. Three different ignition energies were used: 1 mJ, 50 mJ and 98 mJ. In this work, a high-speed particle image velocimetry technique was applied to visualize the flow-field around ignition electrodes. It was found that as the ignition energy increased, the ignition kernel was different. The different ignition kernel caused different flame initiation. During the flame initiation, the higher ignition energy was applied, the higher flame speed was observed. However, with increasing time, the flame speeds were independent of the ignition energies used. Theses observed flame behaviors were similar to computational simulations shown in the literature. It was also found that as the ignition energies increased, the velocities of unburnt mixtures ahead of propagating flame fronts increased.
