In this work, a new type of DSCs based on nanoporous FTO structure is being developed for research aimed at low-cost high-efficiency solar cell application. The nanoporous FTO materials have been prepared through the sol-gel combustion method followed by thermal treatment at $450{\sim}850[^{\circ}C]$. The properties of the nanoporous FTO materials were investigated by IR spectra, BET and TEM analyses, and the photovoltaic performance of the prepared DSCs were examined. It can be seen from the result that the nanoporous FTO exhibited good transparent conductive properties, well suited for DSCs application.

막구조(Membrane structure)란 건축분야에서 "fabric structure" 또는 tension structure"와 같이 사용되는 용어로 코팅된 직물(coated fabrics)을 주재료로 사용하는 구조를 말한다. 특히 구조체로서 연성의 막을 이용 이것에 초기 장력을 주어 강성을 늘림으로서 외부하중에 대하여 안정된 형태를 유지하는 장점을 갖고 있다. 초기 창안된 독일의 온화한 기후에 적용되는 반면 한국이나 일본에는 60m/sec를 넘나드는 태풍의 피해와 많은 적설량을 보이는 기후적 제약으로 발달되지 못하였다. 그러나 최근 새로운 소재의 막구조 제품 개발과 구조해석 방법 및 시공기술 등이 개발되어 보편화되어지고 있는 실정이다. 막구조용 재료로 사용되는 섬유소재는 주로 Polyester직물을 기재로 한 PVC 코팅 제품으로 일반 PVC 막재는 장력이 약하고, 광선에 의한 물성이 쉽게 변화되어 내구연한이 5~15년에 불과하다. 유리섬유나 아라미드섬유 등으로 제직한 기재에 고내열 실리콘이나 PTFE 수지를 코팅한 제품은 약품에 대한 내구성이 높고 자외선에 대해서는 매우 큰 저항성을 가지기 때문에 내구연한이 10년에서 30년 까지도 향상된다. 그러나 실리콘 코팅막은 세계적으로 가장 좋은 막재로 알려졌으나 자정능력(Self Cleaning)에 문제가 발생되어 사용량이 감소 추세라고 할 수 있다. 일반적인 코팅 가공의 경우 MEK, Toluene, DMF 등과 같은 유기용제를 다량 사용함에 따라 작업환경 및 대기오염, 화재 위험 등의 문제점이 있으며 특히 가공시 잔류되는 유기용제의 심각성이 대두되고 있는 상황이다. 이와 같이 코팅 가공제 자체를 친환경적인 물질로 대체하여 각종 환경규제에 대응하고 유해 폐기물의 발생을 줄일 수 있는 코팅 가공제 및 가공기술 개발이 절실하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Glass-Fiber, Aramid 등의 슈퍼 섬유와 고 강력 섬유 등을 이용하여 PTFE 코팅제품과 비슷한 수준의 성능을 부여하는 무용제형 실리콘 코팅 수지를 개발하고 내구성능 향상, Self Cleaning성, 난연성, 자외선 차단, 인장강도 및 인열 강도의 향상 등 다양한 기능성을 부여하는 최적의 환경 친화적 코팅 공정 기술을 개발하여 차세대 건축용 막구조 제품을 개발하고자 한다.

Multi-axial compression tests have been frequently conducted to evaluate the in situ properties of rock masses and the mechanical behaviors of rock strata through the model tests. Without the proper boundary condition for the model tests, the mechanical behavior of rock mass would deviate, as can be expected, from the in situ conditions. The boundary condition will affect the internal stress distribution of the specimens and cause some distortion on the measurement. In this study, a design process regarding the steel brush, which has been employed for multi-axial compression test to reduce the frictional restraint along the specimen/loading platen interface, is introduced. The individual brushes are regarded as a simple column and beam to calculate the cross-sectional size and length of the brushes in consideration of the buckling capacity and the allowable deflection.

This paper describes structural optimization of optical fiber-wound mandrel hydrophones with Finite Element Method (FEM). The hydrophone is supposed to have operation frequency range of up to 10 kHz and show omni-directional sensitivity pattern at 5 kHz. Studied parameters are mandrel geometry, molding thickness, and material properties of constitutional parts of the hydrophone. Theoretical calculation result shows that pressure sensitivity of the hydrophone increased as either mandrel length or molding thickness gets larger. Also higher pressure sensitivity requires a mandrel or molding material with relatively low Youngs modulus or Poissons ratio. Hydrophone bandwidth increases either as the mandrel length becomes shorter or as the mandrel becomes harder. The omni-directional characteristic is improved as the mandrel length becomes shorter, at 5 kHz. With the above results, we determine the structure of an optical fiber-wound mandrel hydrophone which has the pressure sensitivity of $30 {\times} 10_{-7}$ Rad./Pa, operation frequency range of up to 10 kHz, and shows omni-directional sensitivity pattern at 5 kHz.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the optimum replacement rate and material properties of eco-friendly recycled concrete using recycled coarse aggregates and rapid-chilled steel slag fine aggregates. The replacement rate of recycled coarse aggregates was increased from 30% to 50% of total volume of coarse aggregates and the rapid-chilled steel slag aggregates were substituted for 10% to 50% of total volume of fine aggregates. As a result, the increment of recycled coarse aggregates in concrete caused the reduction of the compressive strength. On the other hand, as increasing the replacement ratio of rapid chilled steel slag aggregates, the compressive strength was enhanced. Furthermore, the optimum use of rapid chilled steel slag aggregates was suggested up to 20~30% of fine aggregates and the use of it could be helpful to expand the replacement rate of recycled aggregates.

This paper employed finite element method (FEM) to study the dynamic response of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete(SFRC) panels subjected to impact loading by spherical projectiles. The material properties and non-linear stress-strain curves of SFRC were obtained by compression test and flexural test. Various parametric studies, such as the effect of fiber volume fraction and thickness of panels, are made and numerical analyses are compared with experiments conducted. It is shown that protective performance of concrete panels will be improved by adding steel fiber. Area loss rates and weight loss rates are decreased with increasing fiber volume fraction. Also, penetration modes can be expected by FEM, showing well agreement with experiment. Results can be applied for designing the protection of military structures and other facilities against high-velocity projectiles.

Thermoelectric compounds of $Zn_{1-x}Ag_xSb$ with x = 0~0.2 were prepared by vacuum melting and quenching process and their crystal phases and thermoelectric properties were examined. It was found that free metallic Sb phases were formed in the compound with x = 0.05, leading to increasing the electrical conductivities. The power factors were significantly affected by the electrical conductivity rather than Seebeck coefficient. When x > 0.05, the peak intensities of $Ag_3Sb$ phases in XRD patterns were increased and those of free Sb phases were weakened. These changes of second phases resulted in decreasing the electrical conductivities and the power factors and became more obvious in the compound with x = 0.2.

In this paper, the study for the manufacture of the integrated composite wing is performed. The wing has a pivoting structure and high aspect ratio to increase lift drag ratio. The wing is designed with carbon fiber composite because the wing needs to be light and have sufficient strength and stiffness to satisfy structural design requirements. The number of structural members is decreased by part integration to reduce manufacturing cost and the wing is manufactured with the integrated molding process by an autoclave. The material properties are identified by the coupon tests and the structural strength and stiffness are verified through the component tests.

Recently, many research groups have studied on the epoxy-based multifunctional electrolyte to develop the structural composite bearing high mechanical properties without sacrificing the ionic conductivity at the same time. The studies on the optimal content and material selection for structural electrolyte have been published, while its curing behavior has not much analyzed yet. In this study, epoxy-based structural electrolyte containing solid electrolyte was prepared by varying the curing temperature and time. In addition, the ionic conductivities and mechanical properties of specimens were measured. We also find out the optimal hardening condition where the epoxy domain enables to be hardened within the range of temperature at which the thermal decomposition of electrolyte does not occur. Finally, we propose the multifunctional structural electrolyte showing achievable electrical and mechanical properties (282 MPa and $9{\times}10^{-6}S/cm@25^{\circ}C$).

In order to recycle the waste concrete from which the reproductive aggregate should be produced in-situ, the applicability of crushers and recycled aggregates, and the compliance with the specification have been evaluated comprehensively. As a result of them, the properties of recycled aggregate particles were inferior to the natural one because of the adherent mortars on the recycled one, and the mobile impact crusher and the eccentric-mounted cone and jaw were superior to the others for the graded aggregates. In the case of anti-frost layer, the recycled one was easily controlled since the dry densities, contrary to natural one, were not largely changed with the moisture contents. It was found that the lean concrete base course is not influenced by absorption as cement dust grows larger, and the 7-day compressive strengths of lean concrete were higher than 10 MPa regardless of the crushing type.
