In this paper, a reliability-based design optimization is developed for the topology design of linear structures using a performance measure approach. Spatial domain is discretized using three dimensional Reissner-Mindlin plate elements and design variable is taken as the material property of each element. A continuum based adjoint variable method is employed for the efficient computation of sensitivity with respect to the design and random variables. The performance measure approach of RBDO is employed to evaluate the probabilistic constraints. The topology optimizationproblem is formulated to have probabilistic displacement constraints. The uncertainties such as material property and external loads are considered. Numerical examples show that the developed topology optimization method could effectively yield a reliable design, comparing with the other methods such as deterministic, safety factor, and worst case approaches.

최근 학계나 산업계에서 투명 전자 소자에 대하여 활발한 연구가 진행되면서, 투명 전 도성 산화물(TCO: transparent conductive oxide)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 대표적인 TCO 물질인 Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)는 가시 광 영역에서의 높은 투과 및 높은 도전성을 가져 전압을 인가하면 발열이 가능하므로 이를 투명 면상 발열체에 적용시키는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만, ITO는 발열 테스트 결과 온도가 상승함에 따라 발열이 일부분에 집중되는 현상이 있으며, 전도성을 높이기 위하여 추가공정이 필요하다. 또한, 글라스의 곡면 부분에서 ITO를 사용하면 유연성이 부족하므로 크랙이 발생한다는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 최근 Silver nanowire (AgNW), Single-walled Carbon nanotube (SWCNT), ITO를 기반으로 한 AgNW에 ITO를 증착 하거나 SWCNT를 코팅하여 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성을 지닌 하이브리드 전극이 투명 면상 발열체 재료로서 사용되고 있다. 하지만 대체된 재료들도 다양한 문제점을 가지고 있다. 예를 들어 고온에서 발열을 유지하지 못하고 끊어지거나 가시광영역의 투과율이 낮은 점 등이 있다. 이런 다양한 문제점들을 보완 할 수 있는 새로운 투명 면상 발열체에 적용한 연구가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 GZO/Ag/GZO 하이브리드 구조의 투명 면상 발열체를 제작하여 전기적, 광학적 특성을 비교하고 발열량, 온도 균일 성, 발열 유지 안정도를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 $50{\times}50mm$ 크기의 Non-alkali glass (삼성코닝 E2000) 기판 상에 DC마그네트론 스퍼터링 공정을 이용하여 상온에서 GZO, Ag, GZO 박막을 연속적으로 증착 하여 다층구조의 하이브리드형 투명 면상 발열체를 제조하였다. 박막 증착 파워는 DC (Ag) power 50 W, RF (GZO) power 200 W로 하였으며 GZO박막두께는 45 nm로 고정 시키고 Ag박막 두께는 5~20 nm로 변화를 주었다. 증착원은 3인치 GZO 세라믹 타깃 (2.27 wt. % Ga2O3) 과 Ag 금속 타깃 (순도 99.99%)을 사용하였으며, Ar을 40 sccm 주입 후 Working pressure는 고 순도 Ar을 사용하여 1.0 Pa로 고정하며 10분간 Pre-sputtering을하고 증착을 진행하였다. 앞선 실험을 통해 증착한 박막의 전기적, 광학적 특성은 각각 Hall-effect measurements system (ECOPIA, HMS3000), UV-Vis spectrophotometer (UV-1800, Shimadzu)를 사용해 측정 되었으며, 하이브리드 표면의 구조 및 형상은 FESEM으로 관찰하였다. 또한 표면온도 측정기infrared camera (IR camera)를 이용하여 4~12 V/cm의 전압을 인가 시 시간에 따른 투명 면상 발열체의 표면 온도변화를 관찰하였다.

Based on the continuum approach, an investigation is made to get the forces and displacements of laterally loaded outrigger braced structures with a pair of coupled cores, and to show the effect of stiffening outriggers on the behavior of the structure. From the condition that the rotation of the core at the outrigger level is matched with the rotation of the corresponding outrigger, the outrigger restraining moment is derived analytically. From this, the core moment diagram, the column axial forces, and the horizontal displacements of the structure may be determined. Comparisons with the results by the program MIDAS-GEN for the structural models, have shown that this analysis can give reasonably accurate results for outrigger-braced structures with a pair of coupled cores. And a lateral displacement at the top of the structure is influenced by the outrigger location than the core location. Although the formulae are accurate only for idealized outrigger braced structures, they have a useful practical purpose in providing a guide to the behavior, and for making approximate estimates of the forces and displacements, in practical outrigger braced structures with a pair of coupled cores.

The need to develop method which can improve the shape design efficiency using high quality approximation is being brought up. In this study, to perform shape optimal design of three-dimensional continuum structures an efficient approximation method for stress constraints is proposed, based on expanding the nodal forces in Taylor series with respect to shape variables. Numerical examples are performed using the 3-D cantilever beam and fixed-fixed beam and compared with other method to demonstrate the efficiency and convergence rate of the Force Approximation method. It is shown that by taking advantage of this high quality approximation, the total number of finite element analysis required for shape optimization of 3-D continuum structures can be reduced significantly, resulting to the same level of efficiency achieved previously in sizing optimization problems. Also, shape representation by super curve technique applied to obtain optimal shape finds useful method.

Grouting materials are used for the unification of superstructural and substructural body like bridge seat (shoe) or machinery pedestal and e.t.c by filling their intercalary voids. Accordingly, grouting materials have been developed and used mainly with products of high strength because those materials are constructed specially in a part receiving large or impact load. In this situation, the structural body constructed by grouting materials with high stiffness-centered (caused by high strength) products is apt to cause brittle failure when receiving over a limit stress and to cause cracks according to cumulative fatigue by continuous and cyclic load. In addition, grouting materials are apt to cause cracks by using too much rapid hardening agents that give rise to high heat of hydration to maintain high strength at early age. In this study, to overcome these problems, cement type grouting materials including powder of waste tire and resin as elastic materials which aim to be more stable construction and to be improvement of mother-body's unification are developed and endowed with properties of high toughness and high durability add to existing properties of high flowability, non-shrinkage and high strength. Besides, this study contribute to of for green construction materials for being possible recycling industrial waste like waste tire and flyash. On the whole, seven type mixing conditions are tested and investigated to choose the best mixing condition.

The SASW (Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves) method, which evaluates the stiffness structure of the subsurface and structures nonintrusively and nondestructively, has been successfully used in the civil engineering applications. However, the SASW method assumes that the subsurface or structures consist of horizontal multi-layers, so that the method has some difficulty in continuously evaluating the integrity of a tunnel lining and a pavement system. This difficulty prevents the SASW method from being used to generate a tomographic image of stiffness for the subsurface or structures. Recently, the GPR technique which has the advantage of continuously evaluating integrity of the subsurface and structures has been popular. This advantage of GPR technique initiated the efforts to make the SASW method, which is superior to GPR and other nondestructive testing methods due to its capability of evaluating stiffness and modulus, be able to do continuous evaluation of stiffness structure, and the efforts finally lead to the development of \ulcornerTomographic SASW Technique.\ulcorner Tomographic SASW technique is a variation of the SASW method, and can generate a tomographic image of stiffness structure along the measurement line. The tomographic SASW technique was applied to the investigation of lateral variability of a sand box placed by the raining method for the purpose of verifying its effectiveness. Tomographic SASW measurements on the sand box revealed that the investigated sand box has different shear stiffness along the measurement line, which gave a clue of how to make a better raining device.

Crib wall system is one of segmental crib type wall. Crib walls are constructed from separate members with no bonds between them other than frictional. The wall units are divide into two main types termed headers and stretchers. The headers run from the front to the back of the wall, perpendicular to the wall face. The cells are created by forming a grid by stacking individual wall components known as headers and stretchers. The body of wall consists of a system of open cell which are filled with a granular material. The design of crib retaining wall is usually based on conventional design methods derived from Rankine and Coulomb theory so that is able to resist the thrust of soil behind it, because it may be assumed that the wall acts as a rigid body. However, deformation characteristics of crib walls cannot be assumed as monolithic. They consist of individual members which have been stacked to creat a three dimensional grid. Therefore, the segmental grid allows relative movement between the individual member within the wall. The three dimensional flexible grid leads to stress distribution by interaction behavior between soil and crib wall. Therefore, in this study, in order to analysis the trends of deflection of crib wall system, new numerical models based on the results of Brandl's full scale test are introduced for design concept.

The characteristics of cell growth and foamed cell structures of PP were investigated by a continuous foaming process. The operating parameters were the contents of blowing agent and nucleating agent, nucleating agent contents, die temperatures and die dimensions. The foaming cells grew without collapse at less than 14.5 wt% of blowing agent, isopentane. But the cells were collapsed when the blowing agent content was more than 14.5 wt%. The foam density dramatically decreased when a very small amount of the nucleating agent, 1 wt%, was added. After the nucleating agent was added, the cell's weight plummeted to one-seventh of its previous weight. Stable foam cell structures were formed at the die temperature of 17$0^{\circ}C$. However, the effects of the pressure drop rate on the cell morphology were not serious.

Polycarbosilane(PCS) is an important precursor for melt-spinning the silicon carbide(SiC) fibers and manufacturing ceramics. The PCS is a metal-organic polymer precursor capable of producing continuous SiC fibers having excellent performance such as high-temperature resistance and oxidation resistance. The SiC fibers are manufactured through melt-spinning, stabilization, and heat treatment processes using the PCS manufactured by synthesis, purification, and control of the molecular structure. In this paper, we analyzed the effect of purification of unreacted substances and low molecular weight through solvent treatment of PCS and the effect of heat treatment at various temperatures change the polymerization and network rearrangement of PCS. Especially, we investigated the complex viscosity and structural arrangement of PCS precursors according to solvent treatment and heat treatment through the rheological properties.

It is well recognized recently that acoustic emission, which is an elastic wave generated from rapid release of elastic energy in steressed solids, is very useful tool for on-line monitoring of microscopic behavior of deformation of material. In this study, three point bend test was performed to evaluate the microscopic damage progress during the loading and failure mechanism of mortar beam by monitoring the characteristic of AE signal. The relationship between AE characteristic and microscopic failure mechanism is discussed. In addition 2 dimensional AE source location based on triangular method was also done to monitor the intiation and propagation of micro crack around notch tip of mortar beam. It was shown that AE source location was very effective to predict the growth behavior of micro crack in mortar beam specimen.
