In the present study, spread-recoil behavior of a drop of shear-thinning liquid (xanthan solution) on a dry wall (polished stainless-steel plate) was examined and compared with that of Newtonian liquid (glycerin solution). Nine different kinds of xanthan and glycerin solutions were tested, including three pairs of xanthan and glycerin solutions, each having the same viscosity in low shear rate region ($10^{-2}-10^0\;l/s$). The drop behavior was visualized and recorded using a CCD camera. The maximum diameter and the spreading velocity of the xanthan drops turned out to be significantly larger and the time to reach their final shape was much shorter compared to the cases with the glycerin solutions, due to the smaller viscous dissipation resulted from lower viscosity in the higher shear rate region (>$10^0\;l/s$). As a result, the maximum diameters were measured to be larger than the predicted values based on the model proposed for Newtonian liquids, and the deviation was more pronounced with the solution with the larger viscosity variation. Consequently, viscosity variation with the shear rate was found to be a dominant factor governing the spread-recoil behavior of shear-thinning drops.

이 논문은 시공단계를 고려한 콘크리트 프레임 구조물의 거동 해석을 다루고 있다. 고층건물의 경우 하루에 시공이 완료되지 않으므로 각 시공단계에 따라 콘크리트의 시간의존적 현상은 다르게 발생된다. 이를 위하여 이 논문에서는 일반적인 프레임 해석기법에 콘크리트의 시간의존적 특성을 고려하였다. 이 연구에 도입된 해석기법은 단면을 가상의 층으로 나누고 각층은 일축상태로 가정한 적층단면을 사용하였다. 요소는 평면 보요소를 사용하였으며 강성행렬은 변위법을 바탕으로 유도하였고 전체적인 구조해석은 비선형 구조해석 방법의 하나인 복합법을 사용하였다. 콘크리트의 시간의존적 특성을 고려하기 위하여 단면의 각 층에서 크리프와 건조수축에 의한 변형률을 계산하였으며 크리프는 크리프 Compliance의 전개에 기본을 둔 1차 순환적 단계 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 끝으로 이 연구에서 제안된 해석모델을 이용하여 프레임해석 및 기둥축소에 관한 예제를 해석하였다.

This paper aims to investigate 4D printing materials for soft robots. 4D printing is a targeted evolution of the 3D printed structure in shape, property, and functionality. It is capable of self-assembly, multi-functionality, and self-repair. In addition, it is time-dependent, printer-independent, and predictable. The shape-shifting behaviors considered in 4D printing include folding, bending, twisting, linear or nonlinear expansion/contraction, surface curling, and generating surface topographical features. The shapes can shift from 1D to 1D, 1D to 2D, 2D to 2D, 1D to 3D, 2D to 3D, and 3D to 3D. In the 4D printing auxetic structure, the kinetiX is a cellular-based material design composed of rigid plates and elastic hinges. In pneumatic auxetics based on the kirigami structure, an inverse optimization method for designing and fabricating morphs three-dimensional shapes out of patterns laid out flat. When 4D printing material is molded into a deformable 3D structure, it can be applied to the exoskeleton material of soft robots such as upper and lower limbs, fingers, hands, toes, and feet. Research on 4D printing materials for soft robots is essential in developing smart clothing for healthcare in the textile and fashion industry.
