It is well known that flexible composite material propeller has superior radiation noise characteristics with outstanding damping effects. In this paper, three flexible composite material propellers were produced using compression molding process, and their hydrodynamic performances and radiation noise characteristics were measured. One propeller, C1, was made up from carbon/epoxy composite laminates, and the other two ones, G1 and G2, from glass/epoxy ones. Their fiber arrays were selected by the progressive damage structural analysis of propellers using composite material model MAT_162 (Composite_DMG_MSC) linked with LS-DYNA code. Carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy composite specimen tests were performed, their damage mechanisms were figured out, and their parameters were calibrated by their progressive damage structural analysis according to their damage criteria.

The physical properties of sintered body made from 3 kinds of slip, F (Flocculated), M (Moderate), and D (Dispersed) for coal fly ash 70-clay 30 (wt%) were studied in terms of slip states and pore size distribution of sintered bodies. The floc particle size distribution for slip F was wider than slip D and the slip F contained flocs larger than 11 $\mu\textrm{m}$. The pore size distribution of the green body of all slips ranged over 1∼4 $\mu\textrm{m}$. The pores smaller than 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ almost disappeared during the sintering process, while the larger pore of 2.5∼3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ growed by 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$. The pore distribution for the green body of slip F became a narrow in width and high in height after sintering and the large pore limit in a slip F sintered body was 5.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ which is smaller than that of other slip. The slip F rather flocculated was favorable over slip D well dispersed, in offering a higher compressive strength. From these results, the mechanical strength of sintered body is dependent on the pore distribution which could be controlled by dispersion state of the slips.

$Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-{\delta}}$ oxide was synthesized by polymerized complex method. Dense membrane of perovskite oxide was prepared using as-prepared powder by pressing and sintering at $1080^{\circ}C$. Leakage test was conducted on the membrane sealed by gold ring, Pyrex ring or Pyrex powder as a sealing material. The oxygen permeation flux of $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-{\delta}}$ membrane increased with increasing temperature and was $0.74mL/min{\cdot}cm^2$ at $900^{\circ}C$. In the case of the membrane applied by sealing material, oxygen permeation flux of the membrane using gold ring at $950^{\circ}C$ was higher than that using Pyrex materials because the undesired spreading of Pyrex glass materials in the membrane led to the reduction of effective permeation area. Microphotograph analysis results for the membrane after permeation test confirmedthe diffusion of Pyrex glass seal into the membrane.

3D printing technology is a manufacturing process for products, in which polymer and metal materials are laminated to form structures. It is advantageous for manufacturing parts requiring a high degree of design freedom and functionality. In addition, it would be a suitable technology for the production of parts for railway vehicles in the future, due to the need to produce parts in small quantities. In order to fully exploit the advantages of 3D printing technology, it is necessary to consider the process characteristics during the design of the product. In this study, the redesign and manufacturing technology of the product considering the performance and process conditions were studied for the heat exchanger in the air compressor of railway vehicles, as a trial application of the 3D printing technique. First of all, the design concept to improve the performance of the heat exchanger was defined, and the design range was specified to satisfy the performance of the present heat exchanger analyzed experimentally. Then, the detailed design was revised considering the characteristics of the metal 3D printing process, such as the manufacturing restrictions and production time. Based on the final design, the product was fabricated by the 3D printing process using aluminum material, and it was confirmed that the dimensional accuracy was satisfied. The weight of the final product was reduced by 41% compared with the existing products. The results of this study will make it possible to develop an efficient product design process for 3D printing technology.

Ceramic cultural artifacts restored with gypsum-based materials are prone to decay over time due to gypsum's natural absorption and release of atmospheric moisture, often leading to distortion and peeling of painted layers. This study proposes a new restoration material which utilizes extra hard stone, significantly superior in strength to regular gypsum. In order to enhance its physical properties and make it suitable for restoration of ceramics, extra hard stone is mixed with metakaolin. This mixture far surpasses regular gypsum in compressive strength(119MPa vs. 26MPa) while also maintaining a much lower wear rate(0.88% vs. 2.53%). Furthermore, the water absorption rate(2.9%) of the mixed material is over five times lower than that of regular gypsum(17.2%). When examined using a SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope), this mixture also proved superior to extra hard stone in terms of hardened density. The addition of metakaolin increases the mixture's strength and water resistance over that of extra hard stone and also improves its surface density, making it ideal for the restoration of ceramics. It has already been used to repair ceramic objects in the Museum's collection: Clay basin(sinan 18892), Buncheong ware bottle with incised peony design(jubsu 2034), Buncheong ware bowl with chrysanthemum(jubsu 1730). Results thus far have shown the mixture to be easy to inject and layer as well as harden into an even surface, which allows for smooth application of paint for color matching.
