In this paper, we propose a method to evaluate the material properties of high-yield strength materials exceeding 10GPa from spherical indentation. Using a regression equation considering four indentation variables, we map the load displacement relation into a stress-strain relation. To calculate the properties of high-strength materials, we then write a program that produces material properties using the loading / unloading data from the indentation test. The errors in material properties computed by the program are within 0.3, 0.8, and 6.4 for the elastic modulus, yield strength, and hardening coefficient, respectively.

In this study, we suggest a method for material property evaluation by dual-triangular pyramidal indenters using the reverse analysis. First, we demonstrated that load-displacement curves of conical and triangular pyramidal indenters are different for the same material. For this reason, an independent research on the triangular pyramidal indenter is needed. From FE indentation analyses on various materials, we then investigated the relationships among material properties, indentation parameters and load-displacement curves. From this, we established property evaluation formula using dual-triangular pyramidal indenters having two different half-included-angles. The approach provides the values of elastic modulus, yield strength and strain-hardening exponent within an average error of 3% for various materials.

Nylon 12 elastomer was slightly crosslinked in molten state by the addition of small amount of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as a crosslink agent and triallycyanuate (TAC) as a co-agent during melt compounding at $160^{\circ}C$ in an internal mixer. The effect of the peroxide crosslinking on mechanical, dynamic mechanical and rheological properties of the nylon 12 elastomer was investigated by means of tensile testing, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and small amplitude oscillating rheometer, respectively. With modification, there is an improvement in tensile modulus and Young's modulus with decease in elongation at break. DMA results for peroxide modified nylon 12 elastomers demonstrated that the glass transiaiton temperature of PTMG segment shifted to higher temperature and the storage modulus remained constant above the melting temperature of nylon 12 segments. Melt rheological studies revealed that the peroxide modified nylon 12 elastomer exhibited a more solid like behavior and stronger shear thinning behavior compared to neat nylon 12 elastomer, which was more prominent at higher TAC content in the polymer matrix. The peroxide modified nylon 12 elastomer exhibited good elastic recoverability and improved mechanical properties without sacrificing melt processibilty, and especially the service temperature range increased as compared to neat nylon 12 elastomer.

Embossed aluminum sheets were been used in heat insulation purpose for automative exhaust parts because of increasing their surface areas and stiffness reinforcement. However, there are many restrictions because of high rate of wrinkle occurrence on press working. We have performed the tensile and bending tests for embossed sheets to clarity its mechanical properties and springback characteristics. Embossed aluminum sheets showed a different flow stress after plastic yielding due to flattening the embossed cone shape. Above all, yield stress of parallel embossed specimen decreases while its diagonal one increases and the decrease of young's modulus in the embossed sheets contributes to the increase of springback amount.

In this study, we proposed an indentation evaluation method for fracture toughness using cohesive finite element simulations. First, we examined the effect of material properties (yield strain, Poisson's ratio, and elastic modulus) on crack size during Vickers indentation and then generated a regression formula that explains the relations among fracture toughness, indentation load, and crack size. We also proposed another indentation formula for fracture toughness evaluation using the contact size a and E/H (H: hardness). Finally, we examined the relation between the crack size and the indenter shapes. Based on this, we can generate from the formula obtained using the Vickers indenter a formula for an indenter of different shapes. Using the proposed method, fracture toughness is directly estimated from indentation data.

We measured mechanical properties, including Young's modulus, effective bending modulus and nominal fracture strength of nanohoneycomb structures using an Atomic Force Microscope(AFM) and a Nano-Universal Testing Machine(UTM). Anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) films are well suited as nanohoneycomb structures because of the simple fabrication process, high aspect ratio, self-ordered hexagonal pore structure, and simple control of pore dimensions. Bending tests were carried out for cantilever structures by pressing AFM tips, and the results were compared with three-point bending tests and tensile tests using a Nano-UTM. One side of the AAO films is clogged by harrier layers, and looks like a face material of conventional sandwich structures. Analysis of this layer showed that it did not influence the bending rigidity, and was just a crack tip. The present results can act as a design guideline in applications of nanohoneycomb structures.

탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotubes; CNT)는 강철보다 10~100배 견고할 뿐만 아니라 영률과 탄성률 은 각각 1.8 TPa, 1.3 TPa에 달하는 매우 우수한 기계적 강도를 지니고 있으며, 구리보다 좋은 전기 전도도와 다이아몬드의 2배에 이르는 열전도도를 지닌 물질이다. 이러한 탄소나노튜브의 우수한 특성을 이용하여 나노섬유, 고분자-탄소나노튜브의 고기능 복합체, 나노소자, 전계방출원(field emitter), 가스센서 등 다양한 분야로의 활용을 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히, 수백 ${\mu}m$ 이상의 길이로 수직 성장된 탄소나노튜브(VA-CNTs)의 합성은 길이 대 직경의 비(aspect ratio)가 비약적으로 증가하여 앞서 언급한 분야로의 활용이 더욱 유리하며, 그 중에서도 대량 생산, 나노섬유 및 나노복합체로서의 활용에 극히 유용하다. 최근에는 열 화학기상증착(thermal chemical vapor deposition; TCVD)법을 이용하여 탄소나노튜브의 구조를 제어하는 연구들이 많이 보고되고 있다. 열 화학기상증착을 이용한 수직 정렬된 탄소나노튜브의 합성에서 합성조건의 변화는 탄소나노튜브의 길이, 벽의 수, 직경, 결정성 등 구조에 큰 영향을 미친다. 탄소나노튜브는 이러한 구조에 따 라 물리적 특성이 달라지기 때문에 다양한 분야로의 응용을 위해서는 합성에 대한 근본적인 이해 가 절실히 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 열 화학기상증착법을 이용한 합성에서 성장압력의 변화에 따른 탄소나노튜브의 구조적 특성을 조사하였다. 성장압력의 변화는 탄소나노튜브의 밀도, 길이, 결정성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 주사전자현미경과 라만분광법을 이용하여 확인하였다. 이러한 결과 는 탄소나노튜브 박막(CNT forest)의 가장자리(edge)에 비정질 탄소(amorphous carbon)의 흡착으로 인한 나노튜브사이의 간격(intertube distance)이 좁아짐에 따른 가스공급 차단 효과로 설명이 가능 하다. 또한, 마이크로웨이브 플라즈마 화학기상증착법을 이용하여 탄소나노튜브를 합성하였다. 합성과정 중 산소(O2)를 주입 하였을 경우, 그렇지 않은 경우에 비하여 성장 속도가 증가하여 3시간 합성 시 2 mm가 넘는 수직 정렬된 탄소나노튜브를 합성 할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 과잉 공급 되어 탄소나노튜브로 합성되지 못하고 촉매금속의 표면과 탄소나노튜브의 벽에 비정질의 형태로 붙어있는 탄소 원자들을 추가 주입해 준 산소에 의하여 CO 또는 CO2 형태로 제거해 줌으로써 활성화된 촉매금속의 반응 시간을 향상 시켜주어 탄소공급이 원활하게 이루어졌기 때문이라 생각된다.

The study area, Beulgok-myon Nonsan-goon Chungcheongnan-do is consist of Changri slate(Och, okcheon system), lithic tuff(Kslt, kyoungsang system), granite (Kqb, kyoungsang system) and quartz porphyry(Kgf, kyoungsang system). More than 3000 joints were measured and classified by direction. Main dipdirection/dips of Kqb are 228~257/73~88, 010~150/70~85, Och are 134~164/40~90, 214~249/55~89, Kslt are 291~332/75~82, 235~241/73~71. But Kgf are not appeared distinct directions of joint. In field, p-wave velocities(Vp) are measured on the bed rock. Vp of Kgf are $5000m(240^{\circ})~2380(360^{\circ})m/s$, Kqb are $3846(210^{\circ})~1408(150^{\circ})m/s$, Kslt are $5000(360^{\circ})~2323(150^{\circ})m/s$ and Och are $6657(180^{\circ})~2000(030^{\circ})m/s$. Also P-wave velocities on specimen are measured. It is slightely higher than it's measured on the bed rock. For engineering properties of rock, we measured Poisson's ratio, rigidity, Young's modulus and bulk modulus by dynamic method.

Data transfer rate and storage capacity are main criteria of the performance of the optical disk drive. The highest data transfer rate and the largest storage capacity is most desirable. To increase these performances, the actuator of the optical disk drive should have a high servo bandwidth to compensate the vibration of an optical disk. The servo bandwidth is limited by some flexible modes of the actuator, thus it is essential to increase the natural frequencies of the flexible modes. In this paper, we suggested a moving magnet type actuator having high frequencies of the flexible modes. Generally, the moving magnet type actuator has an advantage to increase the natural frequencies of the flexible modes because the moving magnet type actuator has simple structure and the Young's modulus of magnet is high. However, large moving mass and inefficiency of EM(electromagnetic) circuit cut down driving sensitivities of the actuator. To improve driving sensitivities, we designed the model with the closed electromagnetic circuit for tracking direction. In addition, driving sensitivities and the natural frequencies of the flexible modes were improved by using DOE(design of experiments) for electromagnetic circuit and modifying the lens holder.

The best way of investigating the physical and mechanical properties of subsurface materials is the combined interpretation of data from borehole geophysical surveys and geotechnical experiments with rock samples. In this study two surface seismic surveys with refraction and surface-wave method are alternatively conducted for downhole seismic surveys in test site for geological field trip in Jeungpyung, Chungbuk. P- and S-wave velocity structures are delineated by refraction and MASW (multichannel analysis of shear waves) methods, respectively. Possion's ratio section, reconstructed from P- and S-wave velocities, is correlated to the outcrop geological features consisting of reddish sedimentary rock, gray volcanic rock, and joints/fractures. In addition, rock samples representative for reddish sedimentary and gray volcanic features are geotechnically analyzed to provide physical, mechanical properties, and elastic modulus. Dynamic elastic moduli estimated from geophysical data is found to be higher than the one from geotechnical data. Reddish sedimentary rock characterized with low porosity and moisture content corresponds to the zone of low electrical resistivities and their small variations in the resistivity sections between the rainy and dry days. This trend suggests that the weathered gray volcanic rock and the nearby fractures with higher low porosity and moisture content are interpreted to be good carrier especially in rainy season.
