금속탐지 센서는 공항, 유물 탐지, 지뢰 탐지 등 여러 분야에서 유용하게 사용하고 있다. 하지만 기존의 금속 탐지기의 경우 탐지되어진 물체를 구분할 수 없어 사람이 직접 그 물체가 어떤 것인지 확인을 해야 한다. 만약 이 과정을 컴퓨터를 통해 처리할 수 있다면 물체가 무엇인지 확인하는 검사시간을 줄일 수 있으며, 인적자원의 낭비를 줄일 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 AMR 자기 스위치 센서를 이용하여 금속을 탐지하고, 데이터를 분석하여 탐지된 물체의 철의 함유량을 파악, 어떠한 물체인지 유추하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 이를 위해 금속 함유량이 다른 여러 물체의 데이터, 센서를 지나가는 속도에 다른 데이터, 센서와의 거리에 다른 데이터등을 측정하였고, 이를 통해 철의 함량을 구하기 위한 요소를 파악하였다.

The study attempted to use computed tomography images to determine the usefulness of the reduction in the axial reduction algorithm in the event of a metallic artifacts reduction in the image of the beam-hardening effect, which is known as the most effective method of reducing metallic artifact reduction in the image and the reduction of the metal produced in this study. As a result, the result is increased to 140 kVp to reduce the value of the CT value by 0.02 to 0.05 %, resulting in decreased axial effect (P > 0.05). The CT value decreased from 12.4 to 26.9 % when applied to the reduction of the metallic. 12.4 to 26.9 % (p<0.05). In addition, in the qualitative assessment by the clinical trial evaluation, it was assessed as 1.8 points after applying the MAR algorithm, In the resolution of resolution and contrast evaluations, the estimation of the decrease in metallic artifact effects was assessed as the metal was assessed to be scored 7.2 points after the MAR algorithm was evaluated. Therefore, in case of artifacts due to irreversible beam hardening effect, it is useful to reduce artifacts caused by beam hardening effect by using various methods derived from existing researches and scanning by applying the metal artifact reduction algorithm proposed in this experiment.

Laminate structures are used in the automobile, aerospace, and display industries. The advantages of fiber metal laminates are well known. Fiber metal laminates are useful for reducing the weight and improving impact resistance . However, currently, the mechanical properties of fiber metal laminates are not derived. In this paper, we use thickness as a factor for comparing the properties of laminates of various thickness combinations. The properties fiber metal laminates are analyzed using design of experiments. In addition, the finite element method is used to analyze elastic and plastic strains of fiber metal laminates and aluminum plates. The final goal of this paper is to find a suitable finite element model of fiber metal laminates under bending.

Recycling technologies would be required in consideration of increasing demand in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). In this study, the leaching behavior of Ni, Co and Mn is investigated with ammoniacal medium for spent cathode active materials, which are separated from a commercial LIB pack in hybrid electric vehicles. The leaching behavior of each metal is analyzed in the presence of reducing agent and pH buffering agent. The existence of reducing agent is necessary to increase the leaching efficiency of Ni and Co. The leaching of Mn is insignificant even with the existence of reducing agent in contrast to Ni and Co. The most conspicuous difference between acid and ammoniacal leaching would be the selective leaching behavior between Ni/Co and Mn. The ammoniacal leaching can reduce the cost of basic reagent that makes the pH of leachate higher for the precipitation of leached metals in the acid leaching.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of the Iterative Metal Artifact Reduction (IMAR) algorithm in correcting CT (computed tomography) images distorted due to a metal artifact and to evaluate the usefulness when proton therapy plan was plan using the images on which IMAR algorithm was applied. Materials and Methods: We used a CT simulator to capture the images when metal was not inserted in the CIRS model 062 Phantom and when metal was inserted in it and Artifact occurred. We compared the differences in the CT numbers from the images without metal, with a metal artifact, and with IMAR algorithm by setting ROI 1 and ROI 2 at the same position in the phantom. In addition, CT numbers of the tissue equivalents located near the metal were compared. For the evaluation of Rando Phantom, CT was taken by inserting a titanium rod into the spinal region of the Rando phantom modelling a patient who underwent spinal implant surgery. In addition, the same proton therapy plan was established for each image, and the differences in Range at three sites were compared. Results: In the evaluation of CIRS Phantom, the CT numbers were -6.5 HU at ROI 1 and -10.5 HU at ROI 2 in the absence of metal. In the presence of metal, Fe, Ti, and W were -148.1, -45.1 and -151.7 HU at ROI 1, respectively, and when the IMAR algorithm was applied, it increased to -0.9, -2.0, -1.9 HU. In the presence of metal, they were 171.8, 63.9 and 177.0 HU at ROI 2 and after the application of IMAR algorithm they decreased to 10.0 6,7 and 8.1 HU. The CT numbers of the tissue equivalents were corrected close to the original CT numbers except those in the lung located farthest. In the evaluation of the Rando Phantom, the mean CT numbers were 9.9, -202.8, and 35.1 HU at ROI 1, and 9.0, 107.1, and 29 HU at ROI 2 in the absence, presence of metal, and in the application of IMAR algorithm. The difference between the absence of metal and the range of proton beam in the therapy was reduced on the average by 0.26 cm at point 1, 0.20 cm at point 2, and 0.12 cm at point 3 when the IMAR algorithm was applied. Conclusion: By applying the IMAR algorithm, the CT numbers were corrected close to the original ones obtained in the absence of metal. In the beam profile of the proton therapy, the difference in Range after applying the IMAR algorithm was reduced by 0.01 to 3.6 mm. There were slight differences as compared to the images absence of metal but it was thought that the application of the IMAR algorithm could result in less error compared with the conventional therapy.

Al Foam 소재는 다공질 금속으로써 저밀도 및 우수한 충격에너지 흡수능으로 최근 새로운 기능성 재료로 부상하여 세계 각국에서 연구개발이 활발하게 진행되고있다. 특히 이러한 Al Foam재를 자동차용 부품의 충격흡수재로사용할 경우 뛰어난 충격흡수능으로 인해 고안전 차량 부품 개발에 획기적인 기술 적용이 기대된다. 그러나, 종래 Al Foam재를 기계부품 등에 삽입할 경우 발포금속을 제조하여 부품 형상에 따라 가공하여 삽입하였으나 이는 공정 중 추가적인 기계 가공 및 비용이 들며 이에 따라생산성이 떨어지는 단점이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구논문에서는 차량용 충격흡수 부품 제작에있어 추가적인 가공 및 공정 수를 줄일 수 있는 Y-프로세스라는 주조공법을 적용하여 Net 형상 Al Foam재를 제작하였다. Y-프로세스는 Al Foam 금속 용탕이 주형에 투하되었을 때 Net 형상의 주형을 용탕 내 삽입하여 금속 용탕의 발포 및 응고시 Net 형상을따라 발포 및 응고가 되도록 하여 Net 형상의 Al Foam이삽입된 부품을 만드는 공법을 말한다. Y-프로세스로제조된 Al Foam재는 주형 내 완전히 충진되지는 못하였으나 주형내 충진된 Al Foam재의 상하부 셀크기가 비교적 균일한 모습을 나타내어 향후 공정제어를 통해 우수한 품질의 Net 형상 Al Foam 제조가 가능함을 알 수있었다.
