The guided wave propagation in inhomogeneous multi-layered structures is experimentally explored based on theoretical dispersion curves. It turns out that proper selection of incident angel and frequency is critical for guided wave generation in multi-layered structures. Theoretical dispersion curves greatly depend on adhesive zone thickness, layer thickness and material properties. It was possible to determine the adhesive zone thickness of an inhomogeneous multi-layered structure by monitoring experimentally the change of dispersion curves.

In this paper, the thickness measurement method of adhesive layers of multilayers using power cepstrum signal processing technique has been proposed. The peak values for reflected signal from each layer have been separated by power cepstrum technique. Therefore, thickness of adhesive layers have been measured by the intervals of peak signal. In the experiment, the adhesive layers of 0.5mm-0.75mm thickness using epoxy(2-Ton and Plastic Steel Putty(A)) between the aluminum and the brass were formed. The adhesive layer thickness which is calculated with data of reflected signal by ultrasonic pulse-echo method was within error 1.34% of the measured values.

Recently, electronic devices is produced by multilayer structure, therefore analysis for hidden layers is important nondestructive inspection. This paper presents visibility enhancement methods for the ultrasonic multiple echoes reflected from adhesive layer in the multilayers using digital signal processing. The reflected signals from the multilayers come out interval of the peaks in the power cepstrum. In the experiment, the adhesive layers of settled thickness using epoxy were formed. The reflected signals from the multilayer is detected by pulse-echo method and power cepstrum is processed for enhancement of visibility.

Recently, automobile industry has led to increasing use of aluminum alloy for weight reduction. Automobile made of aluminum alloy can be given lighter, stronger and a harder surface by anodizing than one made of steel-alloy. In this paper, we investigate the influence of lap length, adherend thickness and adhesive thickness on adhesive strength of single-lap adhesive joints by conducting tensile-shear tests. Single-lap adhesive joints of aluminum was calculated using joint factor by using adhesive length, adherend thickness of specimen.

In this study, effects of bonding agent, e.g. epoxy, on the behavior of fundamental guided wave modes propagated in FRP plate bonded on a concrete, are investigated. Global matrix model of multilayered FRP-epoxy-concrete system was constructed to obtain the velocity and attenuation dispersion curves of the fundamental A0 and S0 modes. Two variables, thickness and elastic modulus of epoxy layer, were considered in the dispersion analysis. It was found that both the thickness and the elastic modulus of epoxy layer greatly affect the phase velocity and attenuation of S0 mode while those are negligible for A0 mode. Based on the results, it was concluded that S0 mode is more effective than A0 mode for bonding condition assessment for FRP plate bonded concrete.

To fabricate all-solution-processed flexible Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs), we demonstrated a bonding technology using a polyethyleneimine (PEI) as an adhesion layer between the two substrates. As the adhesion layer requires not only a high adhesion strength, but also a high current density, we have tried to find out the optimum condition which meets the two requirements at the same time by changing experimental factors such as PEI concentration, thickness of the layer and by mixing some additives into the PEI. The adhesion strength and the electrical current density were investigated by tensile tests and electron only device (EOD) experiments, respectively. The results showed that at higher PEI concentration the adhesion strength showed higher value, but the electrical current through the PEI layer decreased rapidly due to the increased PEI layer thickness. We added Sorbitol and PolyEthyleneGlycohol (PEG) into the 0.1 wt% PEI solution to enhance the adhesion and electrical properties. With the addition of the 0.5 wt% PEG into the 0.1 wt% PEI solution, the device showed an electrical current density of 900 mA/cm² and a good adhesion characteristic also. These data demonstrated the possibility of fabricating all-solution-processed OLEDs using two-substrate bonding technology with the PEI layer as an adhesion layer.

Adhesion between rubber compound and copper-film-coated steel plate (abbreviated hereafter as copper film plate) with different thicknesses of copper film was investigated. Two different methods were employed for the preparation of the copper film plates: a substitution plating of preelectroplated zinc with copper ion and a vacuum sputtering of copper on steel plate. Adhesion strength of the copper film plates with rubber compounds was largely dependent upon the thickness of copper film, regardless of their preparation methods. The copper film plates with thinner thickness than 75 nm showed high adhesion comparable to brass, while those with thicker copper film showed poor adhesion due to excessive growth of copper sulfide at adhesion interface.

In this paper, the strain distribution of the bond layer has been compared with the experimental data and analyzed according to the different mesh refinements and element types. The mesh density was changed along the longitudinal direction of adherend, the longitudinal direction of overlapped region, the vertical direction of adherend, the vertical direction of adhesive and the width direction of the joint. In addition, the effect of the different types of element was evaluated using soild, shell and plane strain element. The geometric nonlinear analysis was performed to consider the large deformation of the joint. From the numerical result, at least 2 elements were needed to achieve a reliable result as the solid element used. In case of shell element, the peel strain at x/c=1 showed 22.8% error compared with the experiment but the shear strain showed a good agreement with the experiment within 1.67% error.

오랜 역사에 걸쳐 연구자들은, 마찰력은 주로 접착에 의한 것으로 믿어 왔으며, 이러한 주장은 실험적으로 증명되지 못했다. 한편, 미끄럼 두 표면 사이의 건식 마찰력은 두 표면 사이의 기계적인 상호작용에 의한 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 두 표면 사이의 기계적 상호작용을 제거함으로써 마찰계수를 감소시키는 방법을 제시하였다. 매끄러운 경한 표면에 얇은 elastomer층을 입힌 비윤활 최소 마찰계수에 대한 본 실험결과는 앞으로 정밀기계부품의 충격을 받는 부위에 응용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Interfacial adhesive strength between the fully-crosslinked and partially-crosslinked rubber layers were Investigated at the temperature range of $30{\sim}120^{\circ}C$ for four different rubbers(NR, SBR, EPDM, BIMS). The surfaces of interfacial failure were also investigated using a scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The physical interlinking played a major role in the adhesive strength between the fully-crosslinked rubber layers. When a partially-crosslinked rubber layer was bonded to the fully-crosslinked one, the chemical as well as the physical interlinking affected the adhesive strength. NR showed a "interfacial knotty tearing" pattern, while EPDM showed a typical "cross-hatched" one when the adhesive strength approached to the cohesive tear strength of each material.
