The effect of gas diffusion layer (GDL) compression caused by different stack clamping pressures on fuel cell performance was experimentally studied in a miniature 5-cell proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack. Three stacks with different GDL compressions, 15%, 35% and 50%, were prepared using SGL 10BC carbon fiber felt GDL and Gore 57 series MEA. The PEMFC stack performance and the stack stability were enhanced with increasing stack clamping pressure resulting in the best performance and stability for the stack with higher GDL compressions up to 50%. The excellent performance of the stack with high GDL compression was mainly due to the reduced contact resistance between GDL and bipolar plate in the stack, while reduced gas permeability of the excessively compressed GDL in the stack hardly affected the stack performance. The high stack clamping pressure also resulted in excessive GDL compression under the rib areas of bipolar plate and large GDL intrusion into the channels of the plate, which reduced the by-pass flow in the channels and increase gas pressure drop in the stack. It seems that these phenomena in the highly compressed stack enhance the water management in the stack and lead to the high stack stability.

지금 우리 농업과 농촌은 대내외적으로 시련기를 맞고 있다. 농가소득의 상대적인 하락(도시근로자의 4분의 3 수준), 농촌 지역의 보건ㆍ의료 기반과 문화시설의 취약, 교육 여건의 미흡 등으로 농업을 포기하고 이농을 하는 젊은 농업 인이 늘어나고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 가운데 도하개발의제(DDA) 농산물협상, 자유무역협정(FTA) 체결 등 농산물 시장개방은 피할 수 없는 압력이 되고 있다. 더욱이, 농가의 농업소폭의 전반, 농가소득의 1/4를 차지하는 쌀 농업은 과잉재고, 소비 감소, 개방 압력 등으로 큰 시련을 겪고 있다. 정부 수매, 쌀값지지 등 정부의 보호정책은 후퇴 내지는 폐지될 수밖에 없는 환경에 놓여 있다.

본 연구에서는 얇은 마레이징강으로 제작된 천마 연소관에 브라켓이 용접되어 비행 날개를 볼트로 체결한 경우, 압력과 공력하중에 의해 브라켓 부위에 집중되는 응력의 해석기법을 정립하기 위하여 선형해석과 기하학적 비선형 해석을 수행하였다. 높은 압력에 의해 발생한 얇은 연소관의 면내 응력이 구조물의 강성을 증가시키는 응력의 강성보강효과(stress stiffening effect)를 고려한 기하학적 비선형 해석을 수행하여 선형해석 결과와 비교하였으며, 압력과 공력하중을 동시에 적용할 수 있는 복합하중시험기로 변형률을 측정하여 해석치의 정확성을 검토하였다. 얇은 연소관에 압력과 공력하중이 동시에 작용하는 경우는 응력의 강성보강효과를 고려한 기하학적 비선형 해석을 수행함으로써 보다 정확한 응력을 구할 수 있다는 결론을 얻었다.

Aircraft wing structure is used as a fuel tank containing the fluid. Fuel tank and joint parts are consists of composite structure. Hydrodynamic Ram(HRAM) effect occurs when the high speed object pass through the aircraft wing or explosion and the high pressure are generated in the fuel tank by HRAM effect. High pressure can cause failure of the fuel tank and the joint parts as well as the aircraft wing structure. To ensure the aircraft survivability design, we shall examine the behavior of the joint parts in HRAM effect. In this study, static tensile tests were conducted on four kind of the composite T-Joints. The failure behavior of the composite T-joint was examined by strain gauges and high speed camera. We examine the validity of the Finite Element Modeling by comparing the results of FEA and static tensile tests. The failure stresses and failure pressure of the composite T-Joint were calculated by FEA.

In this paper, the finite element analysis of a valve screw for a LPG cylinder has been presented on the leakage safety and strength one, which are computed and investigated by a contact normal stress and von Mises stress between a female screw of a valve and a male screw of a neck ring in a LPG bombe. The LP gas charging pressure of a LPG bombe is $8{\sim}9kg/cm^2$, which is pressurized to the screw sealing contact areas between a valve and a LP gas cylinder. The peak failures of the screw tooth height due to a scratch wear and chipping loss of the contact area may decrease screw tooth strength and increase a leakage of a LP gas. These are strongly affect to the contact normal and von Mises stresses of the valve screws. The FEM computed results show that the tooth height loss due to a wear and chipping failure of the screw peak does not affect to the LP gas leak and strength of a valve screw theoretically. But if the tooth wear of the screw height of a brass valve overpasses the critical strength safety of the valve, the valve screw may be failed in fastening the valve and a LP gas bombe suddenly.

There is the high possibility of crack initiation from mechanical joints, which are widely used in aircraft fuselages, due to the development of stress concentration and contact pressure. In this paper, the mixed-mode stress intensity factors at the surface and deepest points of an inclined quarter elliptical corner crack in mechanical joints are analyzed by the weight function method. The coefficients included in the weight function are obtained by finite element analyses for reference loadings. Critical angle at which mode I stress intensity factor becomes maximum is determined by analyzing the variation of stress intensity factors along incline angle of crack and the effects of the amount of clearance and crack depth on the critical angle are investigated.

In the present study, using a variation of rib height, the transient response and the performance are investigated. The cell voltage is acquired according to the current density change($0.8A/cm^2$ to $1.0A/cm^2$) under same stoichiometry and relative humidity. The different level of undershoots appeared at the different clamping pressure(1.5MPa and 2.0MPa) and different rib height. At 1.5MPa clamping pressure, rib manufactured cut at $100{\mu}m$ height goes to steady state faster than reference plate and has lower maximum undershoot voltage. But performance is lower than reference plate due to increasing contact resistance.

최근 우리나라의 세계 반도체 시장 점유율이 갈수록 높아지고 있다. DRAM과 같은 경우는 세계 2위 수출국으로 떠올랐다. 이에 따른 선진 외국의 무역 압력이 거세지고 있다. 특히 미국의 경우 미ㆍ일 반도체 협정 체결을 한국에까지 확산하려고 하며, 각종 기술에 대한 특허 제소를 하고 있다. 그러나 국내 반도체 산업은 DRAM부분에 집중되어 있어서 기술 집약적인 ASIC 부분은 취약하다. 또한 세계의 반도체 시장중에서 ASIC이 차지하고 있는 비중이 갈수록 커지는 현상에 미루어 보아 빠른 시일내에 ASIC 부분을 강화해야 할 필요성이 있다. 본고에서는 국내에 도입된 ASIC 설계 환경을 살펴본 후, 현재 추진되고 있는 새로운 ASIC 설계 환경을 고찰한다. 또한 ASIC 설계 환경에서 중요한 역할을 하는 ASIC CAD환경에 대하여 살펴보기로 한다.

In the power ultrasound fields, the flange position for fixing the transducer is an important factor influencing on electro-mechanical efficiency of the transducer. We suggested a practical method that can determine the installation position of the flange for different resonance modes of the bolt-clamped type Langevin ultrasonic transducer. A semicircular wedge-shaped jig was manufactured and moved along the lateral surface of the transducer. The vibration characteristics were examined after a constant pressure was applied to the semicircular wedge-shaped jig. By observing the change of the input admittance of the transducer depending on the position of the pressure application, the optimum position for the flange installation could be determined. The resonant modes of the transducer were calculated by a Mason's equivalent circuit, and the particle velocity distribution for each resonance mode was calculated by a transmission line model. Since the optimum positions determined from an experimental result show a good correspondence with the node positions of the vibration modes calculated by the transmission line model, the validity of the suggested method was verified.

In this paper, structural behavior of Gasket and GDL of a PEMFC stack is studied to improve the performance and to secure the safety. In the Gasket analysis Mooney-Rivlin strain energy function is used to consider hyperelasticity of load and displacement. The material properties is determined by testing specimens of the gasket at uni-axial and equi-biaxial mode and compared with finite element analysis results. By measuring a thickness change, the material property of GDL is determined. The pressure drop of a unit cell is measured along the channel for the clamping force. A cross sectional change of channel base on the experimental data is obtained experimentally and compare with FEM analysis results.
