In winter, the excessive use of deicing salt deteriorates concrete pavement durability. To reduce the amount of deicing salt used, phase-change materials (PCMs) potentially offer an alternative way to melt snow through their latent heat storage characteristics. In this research, thermal energy storage concrete was developed by using PCM-impregnated expanded clay as 50 % replacement to normal aggregate by volume. In addition, to improve the thermal efficiency of PCM lightweight aggregate (PCM-LWA)-incorporated concrete, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were incorporated in proportions of 0.10 %, 0.15 %, and 0.20 % by binder weight. Compressive strength testing and programmed thermal cycling were performed to evaluate the mechanical and thermal responses of the PCM-LWA concrete. Results showed a significant strength reduction of 54 % due to the PCM-LWA; however, the thermal performance of the PCM-LWA concrete was greatly improved with the addition of MWCNTs. Thermal test results showed that 0.10 % MWCNT-incorporated concrete had high thermal fatigue resistance as well as uniform heat flow, whereas specimens with 0.15 % and 0.20 % MWCNT content had a reduced thermal response due to supercooling when the ambient temperature was varied between -5℃ and 10℃.

최근 유연솔더에서 무연솔더로 전환함에 따라서 PCB의 도금이 솔더접합부의 각도에 미치는 영향이 중요하게 되었다. 현재 PCB 도금은 Sn, Au, OSP 등으로 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 PCB 도금이 솔더접합부의 강도에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 아직 미비하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PCB 도금(Sn, Au, OSP)이 무연솔더(Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu) 접합부의 초기 전단강도에 미치는 영향과 열사이클시험 후 솔더접합부의 전단강도에 미치는 영향에 대해서 연구하였다.

This paper focuses on the design of a 12-kW small-scale supercritical CO₂ test loop. A theoretical study, stabilization, and optimization of carbon dioxide were carried out with the application of a solar heat source based on solar thermal data in Pohang. The thermodynamic cycle of the test facility is a Rankine cycle (transcritical cycle), which contains liquid, gas, and supercritical CO₂. The system is designed to achieve 6.98% efficiency at a maximum pressure of 12 MPa and a maximum temperature of 70℃. In addition, the optimum turbine inlet temperature and pressure were calculated to increase the cycle efficiency, and the application of an internal heat exchanger (IHX) was simulated. It was found that the maximum efficiency increases to 18.75%. The simulation confirmed that the efficiency of the cycle is 6.7% in May and 6.26% in June.

An experimental investigation was conducted to figure out the effects of the inlet air temperature on the combustion efficiency using the fuel grains which were highly loaded with boron carbide. The results showed that the normalized combustion efficiency increased with the inlet air temperature, apparently the result of enhanced combustion of the boron particles. Even though the combustion efficiency is increased, the overall efficiency through the semi-empirical method, is decreased with the increasing inlet air temperature. Brayton cycle analysis has been performed using the heat input parameter and combustor Mach number, those two parameters are important role for the performance and similar trends are shown at the experimental results.

Low-cycle thermal fatigue problem resulting from multiple use of a liquid rocket engine has to be considered for the development of a reusable launch vehicle. In this study, life prediction equations suggested by previous researchers were compared as applied to various copper alloy cases to predict fatigue lives from tensile test data. The present study has revealed that among the presently considered life prediction methods, universal slopes method provides the best life prediction result for the copper alloys, and the modified Mitchell's method provides the best life prediction result for oxygen free high conductivity (OFHC) copper.

Tin plating on component finishes may grow whiskers under certain conditions, which may cause failures in electronics equipment. To protect the environment, 'lead-free' among component finishes is being promoted worldwide. This paper presents the evaluation results of whiskers on two kinds of lead-free plating materials at the plating temperature and under the reliability test. The rising plating temperature caused increasing the size of plating grain and shorting the growth of whisker. The whisker was grown under the temperature cycling the bent type in matt Sn plating and striated type in malt Sn-Bi. The whisker growth in Sn-Bi plating was shorter than that in Sn plating. In FeNi42 leadframe, the $7.0{\~}10.0{\mu}m$ diameter and the $25.0{\~}45.0{\mu}m$ long whisker was grown under 300 cycles. In the 300 cycles of Cu leadframe, only the nodule(nuclear state) grew on the surface, and in the 600 cycles, a $3.0{\~}4.0{\mu}m$ short whisker grew. After 600 cycles, the ${\~}0.34{\mu}m$ thin $Ni_3Sn_4$ formed on the Sn-plated FeNi42. However, we observed the amount of $0.76{\~}1.14{\mu}m$ thick $Cu_6Sn_5$ and ${\~}0.27{\mu}m$ thin $Cu_3Sn$ intermetallics were observed between the Sn and Cu interfaces. Therefore, the main growth factor of a whisker is the intermetallic compound in the Cu leadframe, and the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch in FeNi42.

한국은 국제핵융합실험로 (ITER) 사업에 참여하고 있으며, 삼중수소 증식을 시험하기 위한 시험 모듈(TBM, Test Blanket Module)로서 HCML (Helium Cooled Molten Lithium) TBM을 설계, 개발하고 있다. 헬륨 및 액체 리튬을 냉각재와 증식재로 사용하는 개념으로, 구조재로서 Ferritic Martensitic (FM) 강이 사용될 예정이다. 특히, HCML TBM의 일차벽은 중성자 및 플라즈마로부터 입사되는 입자들을 차폐하기 위한 Be 차폐체와 FM강으로 구성되어 있으며, 일차벽 제작법 개발을 위해서는 Be과 FM강 간의 접합과 FM강 간의 접합 방법이 개발되어야 한다. FM강 간의 접합은 기존의 연구를 통해 접합 조건이 이미 도출되었고, 고열부하 시험을 통해 검증 완료한 상태이다. 그러나, Be과 FM강 간의 접합은 현재 개발단계에 있다. 본 논문에서는 고려 중인 구조재와 Be 차폐체 사이의 접합법 개발을 위해, 고온등방가압(HIP, Hot Isostatic Pressing) 조건을 도출하고, 운전조건과 유사 혹은 가혹한 조건에서 고열부하를 인가하여, 그 건전성을 평가하는 일련의 과정을 기술하였다. 본 연구에서는 Be과 FM강 간의 접합법 개발 및 검증을 위해 제작된 $80{\times}80{\times}1$ Be/FM강 mock-up을 국내에서 구축된 고열부하 시험 장비인 KoHLT를 활용하여 수행한 고열부하 시험에 대한 것이다. 본 mock-up은 $80{\times}80{\times}10mm(t)$의 Be tile 3개를 동일 크기에 두께가 각각 25mm와 50 mm인 FM강과 스테인레스강에 접합된 것으로, 고열부하 장비에 설치하여 고열부하 시험을 수행하였다. 냉각수의 온도 및 속도는 25 C, 0.15 kg/sec로 유지되었고, 열부하는 $0.5\;MW/m^2$로 유지하였다. 시험 조건에 대한 예비해석을 통해, 가열시의 온도 및 stress, strain 분포를 얻었고, 이를 통해, cycle to failure 값을 도출하였다. 1000 사이클의 가열 실험을 마친후 초음파를 활용한 접합 계면의 결함확인 및 파괴검사를 통한 접합 건전성을 확인하였다. 3가지 접합법 모두 일부 접합면이 이탈되었으며, 향후 보다 건전한 접합방법 개발이 진행되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors are currently the most prevalent sensors because of their unique advantages such as ease of multiplexing and capability of performing absolute measurements. They are applied to various structures for structural health monitoring (SHM). The signal characteristics of FBG sensors under thermal loading should be investigated to enhance the reliability of these sensors, because they are exposed to certain cyclic thermal loads due to temperature changes resulting from change of seasons, when they are applied to structures for SHM. In this study, tests on specimens are conducted in a thermal chamber with temperature changes from -$20^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ for 300 cycles. For the specimens, two types of base materials and adhesives that are normally used in the manufacture of packaged FBG sensors are selected. From the test results, it is confirmed that the FBG sensors undergo some degree of compressive strain under cyclic thermal load; this can lead to measurement errors. Hence, a pre-calibration is necessary before applying these sensors to structures for long-term SHM.

Periodical thermal shock can introduce defects in thermal barrier coating made by layers of CoNiCrAlY bond coating(BC) and $ZrO_2-8wt%Y_2O_3$ ceramic top coating(TC) on Inconel-738 substrate using plasma spraying. Thermal shock test is performed by severe condition that is to heat until $1000^{\circ}C$ and cool until $20^{\circ}C$. As the number of cycle is increased, the fatigue by thermal shock is also increased. After test, the micro-structures and mechanical characteristics of thermal barrier coating were investigated by SEM, XRD. The TGO layer of $Al_2O_3$ is formed between BC and TC by periodical thermal shock test, and its change in thickness is inspected by eddy current test(ECT). By ECT test, it is shown that TGO and micro-crack can be detected and it is possible to predict the life of thermal barrier coating.

자동차 엔진의 피스톤은 핀 구멍의 복잡한 형상과 2사이클 엔진의 경우 실린더쪽 흡기 및 배기 포트의 위치에 따라 균일하지 않은 열이나 응력 등의 영향에 의한 변형을 고려하여, 상온에서의 형상이 각종 평가 시험을 거쳐 엔진마다 다양한 형상을 갖는 피스톤으로 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 컴퓨터 제어에 의한 방법으로서 타원형상을 갖는 임의의 피스톤을 고속, 고정도로 가공할 수 있는 CNC(Computer Numerical Control)선반 개발에 관하여 연구 하였다. 피스톤 데이터를 퍼스널 컴퓨터로 입력하고 CNC 제어하므로 마스터캠의 제작 불필요, Recess 등과 같은 미세가공 가능, 피스톤의 형상변경 용이, 고속가공 등으로 모방절삭 방식보다 훨씬 높은 생산성 향상이 기대된다.
