A steam generator of nuclear power plant has thousands of thin tubes. These tubes play an important role in maintaining the pressure boundary between the primary and secondary side of nuclear power plant. The steam generator tube is easy to be damaged because of the severe operating conditions such as the high temperature and pressure. Therefore, tremendous efforts are made to assess the structural integrity of the steam generator tubes. The eddy current test is the most popular non-destructive test to assess the integrity of the tubes. However, the eddy current test has the limitation to size the flaw accurately because the eddy current signal behavior depends on the total volume of flaw. This paper shows the possibility that the ultrasonic test method can be applied to detect the flaws in the steam generator tubes and to measure them quantitatively. From the test results, it is expected that if the ultrasonic test is put to practical use in the steam generator tube inspection, the inspection results will be improved.

A major stress determining the remaining life of the tube in feedwater heater of fossil fuel power plant is hoop stress by the internal pressure. However, thermal stress due to temperature difference across the wall thickness also contributed to reduce the remaining life of the tube. Therefore, thermal loading must be considered even though the contribution of internal pressure loading to the stresses of the tube was known to be much higher than that of the thermal loading. In this study, thermal stress of the tubes in the de-superheating zone was estimated, which was generated due to the temperature difference across the tube thickness. Analytic equations were shown for determining the hoop stress and the radial stress of the tube with uniform thinning and for the temperature across the tube thickness. Accuracy and effectiveness of the analytic equations for the stresses were verified by comparing the results obtained by the analytic equations with those obtained from finite element analysis. Using finite element analysis, the stresses for eccentric thinning were also determined. The effect of heat transfer coefficient on thermal stress was investigated using series of finite element analyses with various values of heat transfer coefficient for both inner and outer surface of the tube. It was shown that the effect of heat transfer coefficient at outer surface was larger than that of heat transfer coefficient at inner surface on the thermal stress of the tube. Also, the hoop stress was larger than the radial stress for both cases of uniformly and eccentrically thinned tubes when the thermal loading was only considered without internal pressure loading.

We separated semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes(sem-SWCNT) from the HiPco-SWCNTS by dispersion with octadecylamine(ODA). The mixture of acid-treated SWCWTS and ODA was heated at $120^{\circ}C$ for 120hours. ODA physisorbs selectively on the side-wall of sem-SWCNTS. The ODA-treated CNTs were dispersed in tetrahydrofuran(THF) via sonication. The ODA-physisorbed sem-SWCNT can be retained in the supernatant of THF, but met-SWCNT and unabsorbed sem-SWCNT were precipitated in THF. Raman spectra with 514 nm and 1074 nm were investigated. The amount of sem-SWCNT in the supernatant and precipitant was about 94 % and 50 %, respectively.

Molecular dynamics simulation and the Mori-Tanaka micromechanics study are performed to investigate the effect of the covalent grafting between CNT and polyester on the mechanical behavior and load transfer of nanocomposites. The transversely isotropic stress-strain curves are determined through the tension and shear simulations according to the covalent grafting. Also, isotropic properties of randomly dispersed nanocomposites are obtained by orientation averaging the transversely isotropic stiffness matrix. By addressing the grafting, the transverse Young's modulus and shear moduli of the nanocomposites are improved, while the longitudinal Young's modulus decreases due to the degradation of the grafted CNT.

In this study, the mechanical behavior and interface properties of boron nitride nanotube-poly(methyl methacrylate) nanocomposites are predicted using the molecular dynamics simulations and the double inclusion model. After modeling nanocomposite unit cell embedding single-walled nanotube and polymer, the stiffness matrix is determined from uniaxial tension and shear tests. Through the orientation average of the transversely isotropic stiffness matrix, the effective isotropic elastic constants of randomly dispersed microstructure of nanocomposites. Compared with the double inclusion model solution with a perfect interfacial condition, it is found that the interface between boron nitride nanotube and polymer matrix is weak in nature. To characterize the interphase surrounding the nanotube, the two step domain decomposition method incorporating a linear spring model at the interface is adopted. As a result, various combinations of the interfacial compliance and the interphase elastic constants are successfully determined from an inverse analysis.

This study examined the interactive effects of selective exposure, political orientation, and political interest on YouTube political video users' attitude polarization. The results are presented as follows. In relation to research question 1 and 2, attitude polarization toward selective exposure and political orientation, selective exposure and political interest of YouTube political video users was examined. As a result, in the same selective exposure, the main effect on attitude polarization 'I' was found. Therefore, it was found that the higher the selective exposure of YouTube users to political videos, the stronger the attitude polarization toward YouTube users themselves. In relation to research question 3, attitude polarization toward political orientation and political interest of YouTube political video users was examined. As a result, the interaction effect on the attitude polarization 'I' was found in the political orientation and political interest. Therefore, when political interest in both progressive and conservative tendencies is high, the attitude polarization toward YouTube users themselves is also strengthened.

탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotubes)의 우수한 전기적, 물리적 특성으로 인해 트랜지스터, 태양전지, 고감도 센서, 나노 섬유, 고분자-탄소나노튜브 고기능 복합체 등 다양한 분야에서 이를 응용하려는 노력이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 흥미롭게도 탄소나노튜브는 구조적인 특성 (직경, 밀도, 벽의 수)에 따라 각기 다른 비표면적, 열 전도성, 전기 전도성, 접촉각, 전계방출 특성을 지닌다고 보고되고 있다. 따라서 다양한 분야의 응용을 위해서는 구조적인 특성 제어가 핵심적인 요소라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 열화학기상증착법(thermal chemical vapor deposition)을 이용하여 수직 정렬된 탄소나노튜브를 합성 하였다. 합성과정에서 압력의 변화가 탄소나노튜브의 밀도와 길이에 큰 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였고, 이러한 현상을 이해하기 위해 두 가지의 가능성을 고려하였다. 첫째는 압력의 변화에 따른 촉매의 형성 변화 가능성이며, 둘째는 탄화수소가스의 유입양의 변화에 따른 영향이다. 분석 결과, 동일한 압력에서 탄화수소가스의 부분압을 변화시켜 실험한 결과로부터 탄화수소의 유입양의 변화가 합성된 탄소나노튜브의 밀도에 큰 영향을 미치고 밀도가 높은 경우 길이가 긴 탄소나노튜브가 합성되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

For a double-walled carbon nanotube resonator with a short outer nanotube, the free edge of the short outer wall plays an important role in the vibration of the long inner nanotube. For a double-walled carbon nanotube resonator with a short inner nanotube, the short inner nanotube can be considered as a flexible core, thus, the fundamental frequency is influenced by its length. In this paper, we analysis frequency variation in ultrahigh frequency nanomechanical resonators based on double-walled carbon nanotubes with different wall length. This results will widely apply to the realization of frequency devices controlling the length of the inner or outer nanotube.
