Electric vehicles (EVs) using lithium secondary batteries (LIBs) with excellent power and long-term cycle performance are gaining interest as the successors of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. However, there are few systematic researches for fast charging to satisfy customers' needs. In this study, we compare the degradation of LIB where its composition is LiNi_0.5Co_0.2Mn_0.3/Graphite with the constant current and constant power-charging method. The charging speed was set to 1C, 2C, 3C and 4C in the constant current mode and the value of constant power was calculated based on the energy at each charging speed. Therefore, by analyzing the battery degradation based on the same charging energy but different charging method; CP charging method can slow down the battery degradation at a high rate of 3C through the voltage curve, capacity retention and DC-IR. However, when the charging rate was increased by 4C or more, the deviation between the LIBs dominated the degradation than the charging method.

Shale and mudstone in Daegu-Gyungbuk area have low strength and resistance to weathering compared to other rocks. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate their strength depending on the degree of saturation and crack development. In this study, shales and mudstones were collected from several construction sites in Daegu-Gyungbuk area. Their basic material properties such as porosity, SEM, chemical component, and durability were tested. A porosity (absorptivity) of mudstone was 31% (25%), which was 6 (8) times higher than that of shale. Some mudstone was easily disintegrated with water and it consisted of highly-active clay mineral such as smectite type. These rocks were prepared by small cube specimens for unconfined compression test. An unconfined compressive strength of dry rock was compared with saturated one. Microwave oven was operated step by step to stimulate void water within a saturated rock, which resulted into high temperature and micro crack initiation within rocks. A strength of microwaved rocks was compared with operation time and crack initiation. As a result, the average unconfined compressive strength of dry and saturated shale was 62 and 33 MPa, respectively. The strength of mudstone for each condition was 11 and 4 MPa. When a rock became saturated, its strength decreased by 47% and 64% for shale and mudstone at average. In addition to saturation, a rock was in the microwave for 15 secs, its strength decreased into 49% for shale and 52% for mudstone. When a microwave oven operated up to 20 sec, a rock was crushed into several pieces and its temperature was approximately 200 degrees.

In order to investigate the effect of dietary protein and energy on growing female and male rats, Sprague-Dawley 90 female rats and 54 male rats of 3 weeks old weighing approximately 70-80g and 65-75g, respectively, were subjected to feeding trials for 8 weeks and then subsquently to metabolic trials for 2 weeks. Three dietary energy levels (3200, 3600, 4000 kcal ME/kg) were employed and each energy level contained three protein levels (15, 25, 35% of 3600 kcal ME/kg) and three fat levels (10, 20, 40% of 3600 kcal ME/kg) by addition of an appropriate amount of carbohydrate and the following results were obtained. The body weight gain of female rats was highest for LPHE ration but that of male rats was highest for LPME ration. The weight gains both of female and male rats were not affected by the level of protein. Food efficiencies both of female and male rats was affected by the level of protein, whereas that of male rats was not. Protein efficiencies of female and male rats were highest at low protein level and tended to decrease as the level of protein increased, but that of female rats was highest at high energy level, while that of male rats was highest at medium energy level. The analysis of the body composition after feeding trials for 8 weeks has shown that the contents of body water and protein were not affected by protein level both in female and male rats. The content of body fat increased remarkably as the protein and energy levels increased in case of female rats, but it was not affected by the protein and energy levels in case of male rats. From the above-mentioned experimental results it may be con eluded that the best formula of diet of growing female rats may be composed of low protein (13%) and high energy levels (4000 kcal/kg) whereas that for male rats may be composed of low protein (13%) and medium energy levels (3600 kcal/kg), since all the efficiencies of food, protein and energy have shown to be best at these levels.

Currently, there is database for per unit requirements of major construction materials in terms of energy consumption and $CO_2$ emission based on the input-output table published by the Bank of Korea in 2000, but no database for per unit requirements based on input-output tables was published in 2005 and 2007. The purpose of this study was to calculate the unit requirement values of major construction materials in terms of energy consumption and $CO_2$ emission generated by using the input-output tables published in 2005 and 2007. To estimate the unit requirement values, a database building method with the input-output tables was adopted by selecting 16 types of construction materials in wide use on construction sites. When the study results were compared with existing unit requirement values based on the input-output table of 2000, there were small discrepancies, from which it can be interpreted that the method used in the study is reasonable. Unit requirement values estimated based on input-output tables of 2005 and 2007 tended to decrease, and the highest value of energy consumption and $CO_2$ emission were found in the materials using cement and rebar.

Fiber metal laminate (FML) is a type of hybrid composites which consist of metallic and fiber-reinforced plastic sheets. As the FML has a drawback of the delamination that is a failure of the interfacial adhesive layer, the nominal stresses and the energy release rates should be determined to identify the delamination behavior. However, it is difficult to derive the nominal stresses and the energy release rates since the operating temperature of the equipment is restricted. For this reason, the objective of this paper is to predict the mode-I nominal stress and the mode-I energy release rate of the adhesive layer using the inverse analysis based on the Levenberg-Marquardt method. First, the mode-I nominal stress was assumed as the tensile strength of the adhesive layer, and the mode-I energy release rate was obtained from the double cantilever beam test. Next, the finite element method was applied to predict the mode-I delamination behavior. Finally, the mode-I nominal stress and the mode-I energy release rate were predicted by the inverse analysis. In addition, the convergence of the parameters was validated by trying to input two cases of the initial parameters. Consequently, it is noted that the inverse analysis can predict the mode-I delamination behavior, and the two input parameters were converged to similar values.

GTA 용접에서 용입, 용접부의 크기와 형상이 형성되는 아크 물리학적 현상을 이해함에 있어서 에너지 분포특성은 매우 중요한 인자이다. GTA 용접에서 아크 길이의 변화와 사용된 실드 가스 종류에 따라 음극인 텅스텐 전극 팁의 아크 루트 직경에 큰 변화를 주며, 양극인 모재 쪽의 에너지 분포에 영향을 미치며 된다. 기존의 연구자들은 저전류나 중전류 영역의 GTA 용접에서 텅스텐 전극의 선단각과 용입 형태와 의 관계를 plasma 기류 등에 의해 고찰하거나, 최대 아크압력에 미치는 전극형상의 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 용접부에 작용하는 아크 압력의 분포는 결국 운동 에너지의 분포이다. 기존의 연구자들에 비하여 보다 간편한 실험을 통하여 양극 모재위의 아크 압력에 의한 에너지 분포특성을 규명하는 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 GTA 용접의 용접전류 100A~200A 영역에서 아크 길이 변화와 Ar 가스에 $H_2$ 혼합에 따른 측정된 아크 압력으로부터 기존연구자들의 아크 물리학적 결과들을 활용하여 양극 모재 위에 작용하는 전류밀도 분포를 유도하는 것이다. GTA 용접에서 아크 길이의 변화와 Ar 가스에 $H_2$ 혼합은 아크 압력분포에 큰 영향을 미치며, 이에 따라 에너지 분포특성에 많은 영향을 미친다. 아크 길이가 증가함에 따라 Ar가스와 $H_2$ 혼합가스의 에너지 분포는 감소하였고, Ar가스에 $H_2$ 혼합에 의해 아크 에너지가 증가하여 용입형상에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다. 이에 대한 연구는 향후 GTA 용접 응용분야 확대 적용될 것이며, 아크 물리학 연구에 기초적이고 아주 중요한 과학적인 자료가 될 것으로 판단된다.

$K_2CoCl_4$, single crystals were grown by the Czochralski method in Ar atmosphere. The thermal hysteresis of the dielectric constant at $T_c$ was investigated. $K_2CoCl_4$ crystal shows ionic hopping mechanism due to $K^+$ ion and the activation energy is nearly 0.62 eV. Thermal expansions along a-, b-, and c-axis of $K_2CoCl_4$, were measured on heating and the thermal expansion coefficients in each phase were calculated. From the result of the optical absorption measurement, we interpreted the absorption peak as transition energy between the splitted energy levels of the Co ion in the crystal field and it showed the possibility of the application to the optical band filter between 800 nm and 1200 nm.

Convenient design guideline for Waveguide-below-cutoff (WBC) array is proposed to obtain the minimum waveguide length for electromagnetic pulse (EMP) shielding. The analysis includes circular, rectangular, and hexagonal WBC, determine the total length of the waveguide. When the unit side of rectangular WBC and the diagonal line of hexagonal WBC are given as 30 mm, the length of hexagonal WBC is 5 mm shorter than rectangular case with shielding effectiveness (SE) 80 dB. The length difference is deepened with SE of 100 dB, which shows approximately 30 mm shorter length for hexagonal case than others. In addition, hexagonal WBC requires much shorter length than circular WBC. In conclusion, hexagonal case is the most effective with respect to flow velocity and pressure loss for equivalent SE.

저분자량의 가스와 물이 물리적 결합으로 이루어진 가스 하이드레이트는 상대적으로 많은 양의 가스가 포집될 수 있다는 특성을 이용하여 다양한 분야에서 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 매립지에서 발생되는 매립가스를 하이드레이트의 원리를 이용하여 효율적으로 저장 및 수송하기위한 공정에 적용하기위해 필요한 매립지 가스 하이드레이트의 상평형에 대한 특성을 분석하고자한다. 일반적으로 매립지 가스에는 메탄이 약 50%, 이산화탄소가 약 35%, 질소가 약 6% 포함되어 있으며 그 밖에 산소, 수분, 암모니아 황화수소 메르캅탄 등 할로겐 계통을 포함한 탄화수소계화합물 수십여종이 포함되어 있다. 이러한 매립지가스를 하이드레이트화 하기위해서는 매립지가스에 포함된 다양한 성분들이 하이드레이트 형성에 미치는 영향을 알아볼 필요가 있다. 특히 황화수소의 경우 독성이 있으며, 실제 플랜트에서 장비의 부식등 악영향을 미치므로 이와 관련한 기초 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 메탄, 이산화탄소, 황화수소가 각각 49.9%, 50.05%, 500ppm의 조성으로 이루어진 혼합가스를 이용하여 하이드레이트 생성 및 해리 시 거동을 측정하고 그 상평형 영역을 기존데이터와 비교분석 하였다. 25bar, 36bar에서 측정한 상평형 데이터는 한국해양대학교 에서 측정한 결과와 마찬가지로 실제 상평형 영역이 CSMHYD 프로그램으로 예측한 것보다 하이드레이트의 안정영역이 약 2bar 정도 높게 형성되는 것을 확인하였으며, $CH_4+CO_2+H_2S$ 혼합가스 하이드레이트의 생성 시 mol consumption은 $CH_4+CO_2$ 혼합가스 하이드레이트와 유사하게 나타났다. 이 결과로 유추하건대, 황화수소의 첨가는 하이드레이트의 형성 압력을 높이지만, 하이드레이트 형성률에는 크게 영향을 미치지 않는다고 할 수 있다.

The aim of this study was to develop the noise and vibration damping wood-based composites by using viscoelastic polymer materials. Polyvinylchloride(PVC) was plasticized with 20-140 phr bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate(DOP) and the dynamic tensile mechanical properties were measured at 110Hz and approximate temperature range -100 to 150$^{\circ}$ using a Rheovibron Instrument. The PVC/DOP blends were shown to be compatible in all proportions, and both T(E”$_{max}$) and T(tan${\delta}_{max}$) shifted to the lower temperature side as the DOP content increased. The vibration damping properties of wood/polymer composites were measured using the Rheovibron instrument in a bending mode. The composite damping factor(tan ${\delta}_{c}$) of wood /PVC-DOP/wood sandwich structure correlated with the loss factor and that of the coated structure correlated with the loss modulus(E”) of the polymer layer. In addition, the sandwich structure was found to be more effective in damping than the coated structure. The logarithmic decrement (${\Delta}$c) curve of a sandwich structure, which was determined by the free-free flexural vibration method was similar in shape to the tan ${\delta}_{c}$ curve.
