ZnO는 비선형 전류전압 특성으로 인해 급작스런 과전류로부터 회로를 보호하는 바리스터로 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 바리스터의 전기적 특성 및 미세조직을 제어하기 위하여 다양한 첨가물을 넣은 ZnO 바리스터의 미세구조에는 대부분의 입자에 wurtzite 구조의 결정학적 극성이 바뀌는 inversion boundary (IB)가 존재한다. ZnO의 비선형 전류전압 특성이 반도성의 ZnO 입자간 계면에 형성되는 쇼트키 장벽에 기인함을 감안할 때 계면의 결정화학적 특성에 영향을 주는 IB에 대한 이해는 필수적이다. 본 연구에서 IB가 ZnO 바리스터의 성능에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 ZnO-$Bi_2O_3$에 각각 $Sb_2O_3$ 또는 $TiO_2$ 를 첨가하여 결정학적 특성이 서로 상반되는 IB를 유도하였고, 첨가량을 조절하여 모든 입자가 IB를 가지도록 하였다. 화학 에칭을 한 시편의 SEM 관찰을 통해 입자의 형상, 크기, 분포 및 IB의 결정학적 특성 등을 분석하였다. 각 시편의 바리스터 특성은 임피던스의 온도 의존성과 상온에서의 전류-전압 특성을 통해 평가하였다. 관찰된 전기적 특성들을 입내 IB의 결정학적 구조와 이로부터 결과되는 입계면의 극성의 차이를 통해 해석하고자 한다.

This paper proposes a methodology for developing the performance of a solenoid valve for vehicles based on the dynamic analysis model by an electromagnetic field. The high performance solenoid model with a low current and high thrust was induced through the shape optimal design of the yoke and plunger. To perform the dynamic analysis of the solenoid valve, the input current profile was analyzed. The speed and thrust information was analyzed by FEM with this current profile. The co-simulation method of the circuit model of control logic and electromagnetic model of the solenoid valve was also proposed to analyze the performance with several current patterns. Finally, the performance of the original model and optimal one was compared.

In spark ignition engine, EGR of lean mixture operation has advantage in emission, but disadvantages in power output and combustion flame propagation. Fast burn system is known to be a useful method to solve these disadvantages. This paper presents the characteristics of in-cylinder flow for different combustion chamber geometries, and the correlation between the in-cylinder flow and the combustion flame speed using an ion current method.

In this paper, an operating algorithm for single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor based on PR current controller is proposed. In general, an asymmetric gap may occur depending on the shape of the rotor of single-phase PMSM, and this causes noise and vibration during high-speed operation. Therefore, in this paper, an operating algorithm for a single-phase PMSM usihng a proportional resonant current conrtoller with excellent control stability was proposed. Proportional resonant current controller has on steady state error is relatevly robust against distortion. Also, steady state error of AC input can be eleminated without complicated calculation process. The validity and availability of the proposed algorithm are verified through the experiment.

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) undergo changes in shape and hardness when heated or cooled, and do so with great force. Since wire-type SMAs contract in length when heated and pull with a surprisingly large force and move silently, they can be used as actuactors which replace motors. These SMA actuators can be heated directly with electricity and can be used to create a wide range of motions. This paper presents the mechanical design and control for a three fingered, six degree-of-freedom robotic hand actuated by SMA actuators. Each finger has two joints and each joint is actuated with two tendons in the antagonistic manner. In order to create the sufficient force to make the smooth motion, the tendon is composed of two SMA actuators in parallel. For controlling the current to heat the SMA actuators, PWM drivers are used. In experiments, the antagonistic interaction of fingers are evaluated.

Zn-Ni alloy electrodeposition on steel has been examined by means of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The effect of current density, $Ni^{2+}$ ion concentration, and $Cl^-$ ion concentration on the structure as well as morphology of the electrodeposit have been studied. The Ni content of the electrodeposit increased with decreasing current density in the range studied in this work. The Ni content of the electrodeposit also increased with increasing $Ni^{2+}$ ion and $Cl^-$ ion concentrations. The structure change of the electrodeposit was closely related to the Ni content. In fact, the mixture phase of ${\eta}$ and ${\gamma}$ was found below 10 wt.% of Ni while the ${\gamma}$ phase only was observed above 10 wt.% of Ni. In addition, the lattice parameter, a, of then phase structure increased and the lattice parameter, c, of it decreased as the Ni content of the electrodeposit increased. The morphology of the electrodeposit varied from the plate-like shape to the fine granular shape depending upon the change in composition and structure of the electrodeposit.

Induction heating is the process in which an electrically conducting object (usually a metal) is heated by electromagnetic induction through heat generated in the object by eddy currents. The main advantage of an induction heating device is the generation of the heat inside the target object itself. Hence, non-contact and safe heating devices are widely used in many industrial and medical fields. Recently, a new dental implant system was developed using a shape-memory alloy, wherein an artificial tooth could be easily removed from the dental implant by heating. This paper discusses the development of an induction-heating device to remove the dental crown in the new implant system. First, the finite element simulation of electromagnetic and thermal coupling analysis was implemented to obtain the temperature distributions of the target object for various frequencies, input currents, and coil shapes. Based on the simulation results, experiments were conducted by using prototypes, and an induction heating device was developed to remove the dental crown from the implant.

최근 자동차에서 경량화의 방안으로써 높은 강성을 요구하는 고장력강 사용이 증대 되고 있다. 그러나 고장력강은 저항 점용접 시 일반 강에 비해 높은 전류를 요구하며 계면파단 및 expulsion 발생이 용이하기 때문에 가용 전류 구간이 좁은 특성을 가진다. 많은 연구자들이 hold time, tempering 등의 process를 이용하여 고장력강의 저항 점용접성을 개선하고자 하였으나 생산 공정라인에 적용하기는 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 용접 공정 변수의 변화에 따른 용접성과 전극 형상 변화을 통한 고장력강 점 용접성 향상에 대한 연구를 실시 하였다. 고장력강의 점 용접성 비교하기 위해 표준 전극(S1)과 인위적으로 가공한 전극(M1)을 사용하였으며, 실험에 사용된 판재는 두께 1.4mm의 DP590이며, 그 결과 표준전극(S1) 보다 가공 전극(M1)의 가용 전류 구간이 0.5kA 정도 넓은 것으로 확인 되었다. 두 전극을 사용한 점용접 시험편들의 인장전단강도를 비교 해보면 표준전극(S1)을 적용한 점용접 시 인장전단강도는 KS B 0850 기준에 만족하나 계면 파단이 발생 하였다. 가공 전극(M1)을 적용한 점용접 시 인장전단강도는 규격 기준에 만족하나 버튼 파단이 발생 하였다. 두 전극을 적용한 점용접부 형상 및 용접부 온도 분포에대해 저항점용접 시뮬레이션 프로그램(SORPAS)을 이용하여 실험 결과 값과 비교 분석하였고 파단모드의 변화에 대한 원인 분석을 도출 하였다.

Field emission behaviors from diamond-like carbon films were investigated. The films were deposited on n-type Si wafer by ion beam sputtering method using 3 cm Kaufman type ion source. Regardless of the film thicknesses and atomic bond structure, the emission current was much enhanced by electrical breakdown between anode and the film surface. The effective work function was estimated to be about 0.1 eV. In order to identify the emission site, tungsten tip was scanned the damaged region damaged region but localized to a specific site. Analysis using Auger electron spectroscopy and SEM shows that SiC compound was not a sufficient condition for the electron emission. This result showed that the enhanced emission was mainly due to the changes in the chemical bond of the damaged region rather than the enhanced electric field caused by the morphological change.

The electro-refining process was performed to purify the casted tin crude metal from waste tin in methanesulfonic acid. The surface morphologies of electrodeposited tin on cathode were observed, the dendrite and delamination were inhibited by glycol group of organic additive. The impurity concentrations of tin crude metal and deposited metal were analyzed using ICP-OES. Quantitative analysis on casted tin crude metal showed that it consists of tin with 97.280 wt.% and several impurity metals of Ag, Cu, Pb, Ni, and etc. After tin electro-refining, the purity of tin increased up to 99.956 wt.%. Reduction current by cyclic voltammetry seems to be closely related to behavior of impurity in tin electro-refining.
