Melting method has long been considered difficult to realize because of problems such as the low foamability of molten metal, the varying size of cellular structures and solidification shrinkage. The parameters to solve the problem in electric furnace were stirring temperature, stirring velocity, heating velocity and foaming temperature It is important to consider the effects of induction heating, because it brings about the inner flow by the temperature gradient. Aspect ratio also depends on the induction heating. Mechanical properties are dependent on cell sizes and aspect rations. Therefore, this paper presents the effects of these parameters on the cell sizes. For the sake of this, combined stirring process was used to fabricate aluminum foam materials by the above mentioned parameters. Image analysis was performed to calculate the cell sizes, distributions, and aspect ratioes at the cross section of feared aluminum in the direction of height.

Fault detection and isolation(FDI) and reconfigurable flight control system provide better survivability even though actuator faults occur. In this study, a new fault detection and isolation algorithm is proposed using fuzzy logic. When the FDI system detects the actuator fault, the fuzzy logic investigates the state variables to find which actuator has fault. Proposed fuzzy detection algorithm detect not only a single fault but also multiple faults. After detecting the fault, the reconfigurable flight control system begins operating for compensating the effects of the fault. A numerical simulation using six degree-of-freedom nonlinear aircraft model is performed to verity the performance of the proposed fault detection and isolation scheme.

디스플레이, 센서 등 전자소자는 소형화 단계를 지나 인체 부착형 소자로의 발전을 요구하고 있다. 부착형 소자에서는 접착력과 큰 마찰력이 필요하지만 마찰특성이 더 중요하므로 인체 및 물체의 마찰을 위해서는 다양한 표면에 대항하는 마찰 특성과 내구성이 요구되며 이를 위해 개코도마뱀 또는 딱정벌레, 말벌날개와 같은 자연모사형 건식 마찰 방식에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존 폴리머를 이용하여 자연모사형 마이크로/나노 구조 형성은 기계적으로 가공된 금형 몰딩을 통한 매무 복잡한 공정을 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 복잡한 공정을 통한 마찰재 제작을 단순화하기 위해서 플라즈마 표면처리를 활용하여 나노구조 형성하는 방법을 소개하고자 하며, 건식 접착 및 마찰용 폴리머 소재(PDMS(Poly dimethyl siloxane))에 따른 표면구조 변화와 표면에너지 및 화학결합 변화에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 플라즈마 표면처리를 위해서 자체 개발한 선형이온소스를 활용하였으며 입사에너지에 따라 표면형상 변화를 주사전자현미경을 활용하여 관찰하였다. 표면에너지 변화는 접촉각측정기를 활용하였으며, Tribology tester(Ball on disk)를 활용하여 마찰특성을 평가하였다. PDMS(Poly dimethyl siloxane)는 입사에너지가 증가함에 따라 주름형태 구조 크기가 증가하는 것을 관찰하였고, 플라즈마 처리를 통해 표면에너지 및 마찰력 증가를 관찰하였다. 그리고 플라즈마 처리 후 표면에너지 변화인 FOTS(Trichloro-(1H,1H,2H,2H- perfluorooctyl) silane) 처리를 통하여 표면에너지 감소와 마찰력이 절반으로 감소하였다. 본 연구 결과는 나노구조에 따라 표면형상 및 표면에너지 변화에 따른 PDMS의 마찰력 변화를 확인하였고, 이러한 특성을 활용하여 마찰재와 피부 부착형 접착 패치에 응용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The design strategy of the multi-functional structure is that the electrical components and the circuits are directly put on their supporting structural panel in which the radiation shields and the thermal control functions are integrated. Applying the multi-functional structure reduces the total mass and size of the space system and makes it possible to lower launch cost. In present study the performance of thermal radiation for six types of multi-functional structure are investigated by the numerical method. The effect of the rib configuration on heat transfer for the multi-functional-structure is not important alone but is meaningful considering with the structural stiffness, difficulty of manufacturing and mass increase. In heat spreading point of view, the thickness of the outer conductive layer is important rather than the rib configuration and the trade-off study with the mass and thickness is required for optimum design.

A dynamic analysis method that freezes a time domain by discretization and solves the spatial propagation equation has a unique feature that provides a degree of freedom on spatial domain compared with the space discretization or space-time discretization finite element method. Using this feature, the time finite element analysis can be effectively applied to optimize the spatial characteristics of distributed type actuators. In this research, the time domain finite element method was used to discretize the model. A state variable vector was used in the discretization to include arbitrary initial conditions. A performance index was proposed on spatial domain to consider both potential and vibrational energy, so that the resulting shape of the distributed actuator was optimized for dynamic control of the structure. It is assumed that the structure satisfies the final rest condition using the realizable control scheme although the initial disturbance can affect the system response. Both equations on states and costates were derived based on the selected performance index and structural model. Ricatti matrix differential equations on state and costate variables were derived by the reconfiguration of the sub-matrices and application of time/space boundary conditions, and finally optimal actuator distribution was obtained. Numerical simulation results validated the proposed actuator shape optimization scheme.

The conventional brace system is generally accepted as the lateral load resisting system for steel structures due to efficient story drift control and economic feasibility. But lateral stiffness of the structure decreases when buckling happens to the brace in compression, so that it results in unstable structure with unstable hysteresis behavior through strength deterioration. Buckling restrained brace(BRB) system, in which steel core is confined by mortar/concrete-filled tube, represents stable behavior in the post-yield range because the core's buckling is restrained. So, seismic performance of BRB is much better than that of conventional brace system in point of energy absorption capacity, and it is applied the most in high seismicity regions as damper element. BRBs with various shaped-sections have been developed across the globe, but the shapes experimented in Korea are now quite limited. In this study, we considered built-up type of restraining member made up of precast reinforcement concrete and the steel core. we experimented the BRB according to AISC(2005) and evaluated seismic performances and hysteresis characteristics.

In this paper, the densification of a carbon/carbon composite during a chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) process is studied using a chemo-mechanical model. The multi-physics numerical model, developed in the previous research, couples computational fluid dynamics and major chemical reactions in the reactor. The model is especially utilized to study the effect of flow behavior around the preform on the densification. Four different types of "flow-guide" structures are placed to alter the gas flow around the preform. It is shown that the flow pattern and speed around the preform can be controlled by the guide structures. The process simulations demonstrate that the average density and/or density distribution of the preform can be improved by controlling the gas flow around the perform. In this study, a full industrial-scale reactor and process parameter were used.

The settlements by liquefaction seldom occur uniformly because of soil homogeneity, however differential settlements are major cause of the damages to structures. From the past researches, author paid attention to the fact that stress history during undrained cyclic shear process affects greatly on the volumetric strains of the post-liquefaction. Therefore, the effect of the residual shear strain in cyclic shear process was examined in this study. The experiment apparatus based on strain control with volumetric strain control device was used for the study to investigate the effect of the residual strain on the relationship between volumetric strain and effective stress of clean and granite sandy soil. It could be seen an insignificant difference in the volumetric strain after liquefaction under various residual shear strain conditions in the case of clean sand. On the other hand, in granite sandy soil, the volumetric strain after liquefaction was small when the lower level of the residual shear strain was applied. And, the residual shear strain during cyclic shear affected the shape of the relation curve between effective stress and volumetric strain as well.

The authors have developed a test system for a hemispherical resonator gyroscope by using NI FPGA equipment. We have verified its suitability for the research of resonator gyroscopes through several tests: deriving resonance, controlling amplitudes, and estimating resonator parameters. The authors have adjusted a vibrating pattern to be aligned with the driving axis (or electromagnets). This pattern alignment is a basic and important operation of the FTR mode, which is one of operating modes for resonant gyroscopes.
