다이아몬드는 지구상에서 가장 단단한 물질로 잘 알려져 있을 뿐만 아니라 공업적 측면에서 볼 때, 여러 가지 특출한 성질들을 동시에 지니고 있다. 인장강도, 압축강도, 탄성계수 등 기계적 특성이 우수하고 넓은 광투과성과 내열, 내화학, 내방사성을 지니고 있으며, 열전도율이 높고 전기적으로 절연체이다. 또한 hole이동도가 높고 도핑에 의해서 반도체적 특성을 나타낸다. 이와 같이 매우 뛰어난 성질을 공업적으로 응용하기 위하여 이전부터 많은 연구가 행해져 왔으며, 1980년대에 들어와 박막이나 코팅 형태로의 합성이 가능한 기상합성법이 큰 발전을 보임으로써 다이아몬드의 우수한 특성을 여러 분야에서 폭넓게 응용할 수 있게 되었다. 특히 마찰 응용분야에 최적의 재료로 추천되고 있다. 지금도 Epitaxial 다이이몬드를 기지 위에 성장시키고 다결정질박막을 여러 가지 비다이아몬드(Si, W, Mo 등) 기지 위에 성장시키는 연구가 계속되고 있으며 공구강 위엥 경질코팅으로써 한층 개선된 다이아몬드박막 제조를 위한 수많은 연구노력들이 집중되고 있다. 그러나 일반탄소강에 다이아몬드박막을 성장시키기 위한 많은 노력들은 크게 바람직하지 않은 non-diamond carbon(black carbon or graphitic soot)의 형성 때문에 방해를 받고 있다. 계면에서 이들의 형성은 증착된 다이아몬드박막과 금속기지의 저조한 밀착력을 나타내게 된다. 이외 같이 다이아몬드박막의 응용을 위하여 다이아몬드피막에 요구되는 중요한 조건은 기지에 대해서 강한 밀착력을 나타내는 것이며, 동시에 상대물에 대하여 낮은 마찰계수를 가져야 한다. 그러나 다이아몬드와 금속기지는 서로 다른 열챙창계수(각각 0.87$\times$10-6K-1, 12$\times$10-6K-1)의 차이로 인하여 밀착력이 현저히 떨어진다는 단점으로 인해 산업화에 많은 제약을 받아왔다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 다이아몬드박막과 금속기지 사이에 중간층을 이용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이러한 시도는 일반적으로 중간층 형성 금속인 Ti 또는 TiN 등이 적용되었으나 원하는 결과를 얻지 못하였다. 즉 carbon과 Fe의 상호확산, non-diamond carbon상의 형성 그리고 열잔류응력을 완화시키고 일반탄소강 위에 다이아몬드박막을 형성시켜 우수한 밀착력을 얻기 위한 목적에 미흡하였던 것이다. 이에 중간층으로 Cr 또는 Cr계 화합물 박막을 이용하였는 바, 이 중간층을 이용한 결과 우수한 밀착력을 나타내는 다이아몬드박막을 얻었으며 열적, 구조저으로 모재와 다이아몬드에 적합한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에 의해 얻어진 결과들은 재료 가공을 위하여 높은 경도와 내마모성등이 요구되는 절삭공구나 금형의 수명 향항에 크게 기여할 것이며 산업적으로 큰 응용이 기대된다.

Phase transformation, superelastic characteristics and variation of surface residual stress were studied for Nitinol shape memory alloy through application of UNSM technology, and life extension methods of stent were also studied by using elastic resilience and corrosion resistance. Nitinol wire of ${\phi}1.778$ mm showed similar surface roughness before and after UNSM treatment, but drawing traces and micro defects were all removed by UNSM treatment. It also changed the surface residual stress from tensile to compressive values, and XRD result showed less intensive austenite peak and clear martensite and additional R-phase peaks after UNSM treatment. Fatigue resistance could be greatly improved through removal of surface defects and rearrangement of surface residual stress from tensile to compressive state, and development of surface modification system to improve not only bio-compatability but also resistance to corrosion and wear will make it possible to develop vascular stent which can be used for circulating system diseases which run first cause of death of recent Koreans.

Reliability in tunnel analysis is necessary to accomplish technically sound design and economical construction. For this, a thorough understanding of the construction procedure including the ground-support interaction has to be obtained. This paper describes a proper modelling technique to simulate the behavior of the steel fiber reinforced shotcrete (SFRS) which maintain the supporting capability in post-failure regime. The additional supporting effect of the steel support was also verified by 3-D analyses and a new load distribution factor were proposed. The use of the plastic moment limit (PML) alone can eliminate the occurrence of the awkwardly high tensile stress in the shotcrete and can successfully model the post-peak ductile behavior of the SFRS. But with this method, moment is limited whenever the stress caused by moment reaches tensile strength of the shotcrete irrespective of the stress by axial force. Therefore, it was necessary to find a more comprehensive method which can reflect the influence of the moment and axial force. This can be accomplished by the proper use of "liner element" which is the built-in model in FLAC. In this model, the peak and residual strength as well as the uniaxial compressive strength of the SFRS can be specified. Analyses were conducted with these two models on the 2-lane road tunnels excavated in class IV and V rock mass and results were compared with the conventional elastic beam model. Results showed that both models can reflect the fracture toughness of the SFRS which could not be accomplished by the elastic beam model.

Titanium boride ($\textrn{TiB}_{x}$) films were deposited on (100) silicon substrates at the substrate temperature of $500^{\circ}C$ by means of the co-evaporation of titanium and boron evaporants during deposition. The co-evaporation method makes it possible to deposit the non-stoichiometric films with different boron-to-titanium ratio($0{\le}B/Ti \le 2.5$). The resistivity increases linearly as the boron-to-titanium ratio in the as-deposited films is increased. The surface roughness of $\textrn{TiB}_{x}$ films is changed as a function of the boron-to-titanium ratio. The XRD spectrum for pure titanium film shows a highly (002) preferred orientation. For B/Ti=0.59 ratio only a single TiB phase that shows a (111) preferred orientation is observed. However, the $\textrn{TiB}_{x}$ phase with the hexagonal structure of the $AlB_2$(C32) type appears as the boron concentration increase, and only a single $\textrn{TiB}_{x}$ phase is observed for $B/Ti \ge 2.0$ ratio. The $\textrn{TiB}_{x}$/Si samples reveal a tensile stress (3~$20{\times}^9$dyn/$\textrm{cm}^2$) in the overall composition of the films, although the magnitude of the residual stresses is depended on the nominal B/Ti ratio.

This is an experimental study on friction welding and heat treatment of engine exhaust valve materials whose welding combination is SCr4 as stem to 21-4N as head and SUH3 to 21-4N. In this study, not only the experiments of friction welding under the selected optimum welding condition and the examination of the mechanical properties were carried out, but also the heat treatment of friction welded specimens under the two selected conditions was taken to obtain the better welding character, eliminating the latent stress and the hardness peak which appeared at the welded zones of heat resisting steel(21-4N, SUH3) and low alloyed steel ($SCr_4$) friction weldments. The results obtained by the experiments and consideration in this study are as follows: I) It was experimentally proved quite reasonable that 'speed=3,OOO rpm, heating pressure Pl=8 kg/ mm2, upsetting pressure p, = 20 kg/mm', heating time $t_1$ = 3 see, upsetting time TEX>$t_2$ = 2.5 sec' was selected as the optimum welding condition for friction-welding the engine exhaust valve materials $SCr_4$ to 21-4 Nand SUH 3 to 21-4 N. 2) The results of the previous study and this one on friction welding of such dissimilar materials as SUH 3-SUH 31, SCr 4-SUH 31, SCr 4-SUH 3, SUH 3-CRK 22, SCr4-21-4 Nand SUH3-21-4 N agreed with each other substantially in the friction welding characteristics at welded interface zones. 3) It was also certified quite satisfactory that '600\ulcornerCX30 min. Xroom air cooling' as an optimum heat treatment condition of the friction welded materials SCr 4-21-4 Nand SUH 3-21-4 N was experimentally determined to eliminate the latent stress and the hardness peak at welded zones. 4) About 20% of the tensile strength before heat treatment of friction welded specimens was decreased after heat treatment 600\ulcornerCX30 min. Xair cooling, but the location of fracture was moved from heat affected zone to parent $SCr_4$ & SUH3. 5) Microscopic examination of the weld joints friction-welded and heat-treated under the above mentioned conditions revealed that the weld zone is very narrow and has a fine grained intermixed structure without any welding defects. 6) The above mentioned conditions can be also utilized as friction welding parameters of the other dissimiar materials for engine valve production.

The fuel injection pipe of a common rail system used in a clean diesel vehicle plays a role in supplying fuel from a rail to the injector of each cylinder connecting the engine under a repeated internal pressure. The fuel injection pressure is increased to over 200 MPa for satisfying EU emission standards and improving fuel efficiency, and a heading process and an autofrettage process are required for preventing folding defects and improving fatigue life. In this study, the flow stress and SN data of the material of the pipe are obtained through a tensile test and a fatigue test. The heading process for checking the folding defects of pipe ends is performed by using FEA. Furthermore, the optimal design of the autofrettage process for improving fatigue life considering not only the compressive residual stresses of the inner surface but also the tensile residual stresses of the outer surfaces of the pipe under the repeated internal pressure is performed by using FEA. To verify the process design, fatigue analysis for the autofrettaged pipe is performed.

High performance steel for bridges(HSB 800) with a minimum tensile stress of 800MPa was recently developed. However, the study for local buckling behavior of plate girders considering interactive effects of flanges and webs is still insufficient. In this study, the flange local buckling(FLB) strength of plate girders with HSB 800 was evaluated by nonlinear finite element analysis. The flanges and webs of plate girders having I-section were modeled as 3D shell elements in the nonlinear analysis. Initial imperfection and residual stress were imposed on the plate girder. The high performance steel was modeled as a multi-linear material. Thus, parametric study of compression flanges with a compact, noncompact and slender web was performed. The flange local buckling behavior of plate girders was analyzed, and the nonlinear analysis results were compared with the nominal flexural strength of both AASHTO LRFD(2012) and KHBDC LSD(2012) codes.

Short discrete fibers compounded with concrete can enhance the tensile resistance and ductility of concrete. Recently, the effectiveness of the reinforcement has increased according to the increasing length of steel fiber. However, the lengthening of steel fiber requires reducing the ratio of the fiber content to remain the workability and quality of concrete. Thus, the present study evaluated the flexural performance of fiber reinforced concrete with less than l.0% fiber volume ratios of steel fiber, 30mm and 60mm long, and polypropylene fiber, being evaluated as a good reinforcing material with chemical stability, long-term durability, and cost effectiveness. Concrete with more than 0.25% steel and 0.5% polypropylene fibers improved the brittle failure of concrete after reaching cracking strength. Concrete reinforced with polypropylene exhibited deflection-softening behavior, but that with more than 0.5% polypropylene delayed stress reduction and recovered flexural strength by 60 to 80% after cracking strength. In conclusion, concrete reinforced with more than 0.75% polypropylene could improve structural flexural performance. In particular, energy absorption capacity of reinforced concrete with 1.0% polypropylene fiber was similar to that with 0.5% and 0.7% steel fibers.

The effect of h-BN content on microstructure, mechanical properties, and machinability of AlN-BN based machinable ceramics were investigated. The relative density of sintered compact decreased with increasing h-BN content. The four-point flexural strength also decreased from 238 MPa of monolith up to 182 MPa by the addition of 30 vol％ h-BN. Both low Young's modulus and residual tensile stress, formed by the thermal expansion coefficient difference between AIN and h-BN, might cause the strength drop in AlN-BN composite. The crack deflection, and pull-out phenomena increased by the plate-like h-BN. However, the fracture toughness decreased with h-BN content. The second phases, consisted of YAG and ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$, were formed by the reaction between Al$_2$O$_3$ and Y$_2$O$_3$. During end-milling process, feed and thrust forces measured for AlN-(10～30) vol％ BN composites decreased with increasing h-BN particles, showing excellent machinability. Also, irrespective of h-BN content, relatively good surfaces with roughness less than 0.5 m (Ra) could be achieved within short lapping time.

It has been found that the misfit dislocations in heavily boron-doped layers originate from wafer edges. Moreover, the propagation of the misfit dislocation into a heavily boron-doped region can be suppressed by placing a surrounding undoped region. Using a surrounding undoped region the disloction-free heavily boron-deoped silicon membranes have been fabricated. The measured surface roughness, fracture strength, and residual tensile stress of the membrane are 20.angs. peak-to-peak, 1.39${\times}$10$^{10}$ and 2.7${\times}$10$^{9}$dyn/cm$^{2}$, while those of the conventional heavily boron-doped silicon membrane with high density of misfit dislocations are 500 peak-to-peak, 8.27${\times}$10$^{9}$ and 9.3${\times}$10$^{8}$dyn/cm$^{2}$ respectively. The differences between these two membranes are due to the misfit dislocations. Young's modulus has been extracted as 1.45${\times}$10$^{12}$dyn/cm$^{2}$ for both membranes. Also, the effective lattice constant of heavily boron-doped silicon, the in-plane lattice constant of the conventional membrane, and the density of misfit dislocation contained in the conventional membrane have been extracted as density of misfit dislocation contained in the conventional membrane have been extracted as density of misfit dislocation contained in the conventional membrane have been extracted as 5.424.angs. 5.426.angs. and 2.3${\times}$10$^{4}$/cm for the average boron concentration of 1.3${\times}$10$^{20}$/cm$^{-23}$ cm$^{3}$/atom. Without any buffer layers, a disloction-free lightly boron-doped epitaxial layer with good crsytalline quality has been directly grown on the dislocation-free heavily boron-doped silicon layer. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the epitaxial silicon has good crystallinity, similar to that grown on lightly doped silicon substrate. The leakage current of the n+/p gated diode fabricated in the epitaxial silicon has been measured to be 0.6nA/cm$^{2}$ at the reverse bias of 5V.
