탄소복합소재 분리판의 연료전지 성능을 시험하기 위해 소형 고분자연료전지 스택을 제작하였으며 연료전지 운전에 따른 성능변화를 측정하여 탄소복합소재 분리판이 연료전지 스택의 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 자체 설계한 가스유로로 디자인된 분리판과 MEA를 적층한 스택의 초기 성능과 장기간 운전에 따른 전압 감소를 측정하였다. 또한 장시간 운전 동안 각 셀의 전압 거동도 함께 측정하였으며 비교를 위해 흑연 분리판을 이용하여 제작한 스택의 성능도 함께 시험하였다. 스택에서 각 셀의 성능은 단위전지에서의 성능과 유사하게 나타나 분리판과 스택의 구조가 셀의 성능을 충분히 보여줄 만큼 적절히 디자인된 것을 알 수 있었으며, 장시간 운전 동안 전류가 증가함에 따라 스택의 성능 감소도 점차 증가하였으며 두 종류의 스택이 유사한 성능 감소를 보여 자체 제작한 탄소복합소재 분리판이 흑연 분리판과 유사한 성능을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

This paper provides a comparison between finite element analysis results and test data of rupture disc. Rupture disc is safety device of high pressure equipment. Rupture disc of solid rocket motor is a device to control rupture pressure. Rupture discs were made of AISI 316L. By the elastic-plastic analysis, the stress limit of rupture discs were compared to the test results. The results can be used to control the rupture pressure by the change of the disc size.

Rupture disks are a kind of safety device in high pressure equipment and they are used to control rupture pressure in the solid rocket motor. In this paper, a series of rupture experiments was performed using rupture disks made of AISI 316L and rupture pressure of rupture disks was calculated through various assumptions in relation between elasto-plastic material properties and true stress-strain curve. Experiment and FEA indicated rupture pressure is determined by size of rupture disks. As a result of elasto-plastic analysis, only multi-linear stress-strain curve was able to calculate meaningful estimations. Experimental results also showed rupture location are decided by the size of rupture disks. Experimental and FEA results will be applied to control rupture pressure of disks.

The effect of physico-electrochemical properties of carbon bipolar plate(BPP) on hydrogen and formic acid fuel cell performance has been investigated. BPP made of conventional graphite and carbon fiber composite were compared with the factors of interfacial contact resistance (ICR), corrosion behaviours, and hydrophobicity. Among them, the ICR of carbon fiber composite BPP has 50% higher than conventional graphite and the surface of carbon fiber composite BPP became rougher due to weaker corrosion resistance. Fuel cell performance was strongly dependent of ICR value of carbon bipolar plate.

Purpose: This study investigates mechanical behavior of functionally graded (FG) carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (CNTRC) plate in flexure. Isogeometric analysis (IGA) method coupled with shear deformable theory of higher-order (HSDT) to analyze the nonlinear bending response is presented. Method: Shear deformable plate theory into which a polynomial shear shape function and the von Karman type geometric nonlinearity are incorporated is used to derive the nonlinear equations of equilibrium for FG-CNTRC plate in bending. The modified Newton-Raphson iteration is adopted to solve the system equations. Result: The dispersion pattern of carbon nanotubes, plate geometric parameter and boundary condition have significant effects on the nonlinear flexural behavior of FG-CNTRC plate. Conclusion: The proposed IGA method coupled with the HSDT can successfully predict the flexural behavior of FG-CNTRC plate.

Although thermoset carbon fiber composite bipolar plates not only have high mechanical properties but also high corrosion resistance in acid environment, high manufacturing cost and low bulk electrical conductivity are the biggest obstacle to overcome. In this research, thermoplastic polymer is employed for the matrix of carbon composite bipolar plate to increase both the manufacturing productivity and bulk electric conductivity of the bipolar plate. In order to increase the electrical conductivity and strength, plain type carbon fabric rather than chopped or unidirectional fibers is used. Also nano particles are embedded in the thermoplastic matrix to increase the bulk resistance of the bipolar plate. The area specific resistance and the mechanical strength of the developed bipolar plate are measured with respect to the environmental temperature and stack compaction pressure.

The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system has many potential uses as an environmentally friendly power source. Carbon fiber composite bipolar plates are highly corrosion resistant and have high specific strength and stiffness in acidic environments, however, the relatively low electrical conductivity is a major issue which reduces the efficiency of PEMFC. In this study, electrically conductive particles (graphite powder and carbon black) are applied to carbon-epoxy composite prepregs to reduce the electrical resistance of the bipolar plates. The electrical resistance and mechanical properties are measured using conventional test methods, and a unit cell performance evaluation of developed carbon composite bipolar plates is performed to compare with the conventional bipolar plate.

The plate bucking is very important design criteria when the ship is composed of high tensile steel plates. The structures under the action of excessive exhibit local failure associated with bucking until they reach the ultimate limit state as a whole. Precise assessment of the behaviour of plate above primary buckling load is important. In this connection, series of elastic plastic large deflection analyses are performed on rectangular plates with aspect ratio 1.4 applying the finite element method. In this paper, the buckling/plastic collapse behavior of ship plates with secondary buckling is investigated. It has found that the other deflection componentes also increase with the increase of compressive load above the primary buckling load.

다이아몬드상 탄소 박막(Diamond-like carbon, DLC) 박막은 낮은 마찰 계수, 높은 내마모성, 화학적 안정성, 적외선 영역에서의 높은 투과율 등의 장점을 바탕으로 MEMS (Micro-Electro Mechanical System) 소자와 MMAs (Moving Mechanical Assemblies)의 고체윤활코팅, 마그네틱 미디어와 하드디스크의 슬라이딩 표면 등 다양한 분야에 코팅소재로써 응용되어왔다 [1,2]. 현재 전기철도용 집전판은 마찰이 적고 전도성을 지니는 카본 소재로 구성되어 있다. 그러나 그 마모 비율이 너무 심하여 이를 개선할 수 있는 방안으로 고경도 저마찰력을 지니는 DLC 박막을 코팅 소재로써 제안하고자 한다. 그러나 기존에 DLC 박막은 절연특성이 매우 우수하기 때문에 기존에 전도성을 지니는 카본 집전판에 적용하기에는 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 DLC 박막 내에 실리콘(Si) 또는 금속(Metal)을 첨가시키거나, 금속 중간층을 포함시켜 전기적으로 전도특성을 향상시키는 방안이 제시되고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 DLC 박막과 유사하게 우수한 경도특성을 지니고, 낮은 마찰계수등을 지니는 비정질 탄소박막을 연구하여 카본 집전판에 코팅하고자하며, 특히 비정질 탄소박막에 금속 Ti를 도핑하여 집전판과의 접착력과 전기적 전도 특성을 향상시키고자 한다. Ti가 도핑된 탄소박막(TiC) 박막은 비대칭 마그네트론 스퍼터링(unbalanced magnetron sputtering; UBMS) 시스템을 이용하여 제작하였으며, 스퍼터링 조건 중 기판에 인가되어지는 기판온도에 따라 변화되어지는 TiC 박막의 트라이볼로지(Tribology) 특성을 고찰하고자 하였다. 증착시 기판온도의 증가는 TiC 박막의 경도, 마찰계수 특성등 트라이볼로지 특성을 향상시켰으며, 전기적 전도 특성을 향상시켰다. 이러한 결과는 스퍼터링 방법에 의해 증착되어진 TiC 박막내에 존재하는 sp2 결합과 관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있으며, 트라이 볼로지 특성은 TiC 박막내에 sp2 탄소결합의 비율 증가와 관련되어졌다. 특히 sp2 탄소결합은 TiC 박막 증착시 증가된 기판온도와 밀접한 관계가 있으며 기판온도의 증가에 따라 나노결정 클러스터의 크기와 수의 변화와 밀접한 관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 결국 기판온도는 TiC 박막의 트라이볼로지 특성을 향상시켰으며, 전기적 특성 또한 향상시켜 전기철도 집전판에 응용을 위한 소재로 평가할 수 있다.

An experimental research has been performed to evaluate the load transfer capacity for the planar joints between existing and new slab in an apartment remodelling constructions expecially for enlarging the interior space. Post-installed dowel bars were used as a joint connector. The existing slabs were obtained from the existing apartment housing which will be demolished, and were retrofitted with carbon fiber plate. Test results showed that the planar joints with post-installed dowel bars behaved in full composite modes until ultimate capacity of test specimens, so sufficient ultimate and serviceability performance are confirmed.
