In this paper, we proposed a numerical model the complex permittivity for the E-glass fabric/epoxy composite laminate containing electrical conductive carbon black. The model is based on the percolation theory and for the composites over than the percolation threshold and in higher frequency band in that the AC conductivity is fully proportional to the frequency. The measurement for the complex permittivity wasperformed at the frequency band of 0.5 GHz $\sim$ 18.0 GHz using a vector network analyzer with a 7 mm coaxial air line. The proposed model is composed of the numerical equations of the scaling law used in percolation theory and constants obtained from experiments to quantify the model itself. The model describes the complex permittivity as the function of frequency and filler concentration. The model was verified by being compared with the measurements.

고온의 정상상태에서 조사된 후 재조직(restructuring)과 균열(cracking)이 일어난 핵연료 내에서 결정립 외부 공극의 을 결정할 수 있는 퍼콜레이션(Percolation) 모델을 개발하였다. 핵연료 펠렛은 다수의 작은 정육각형 결정립들로 구성된 큰 정육각형으로 모의한다. 핵연료봉은 형상과 열적 특성이 다른 네 개의 영역으로 구분하고 각 경계 위치를 임계온도로부터 계산한다. 공극의 상호연결분율은, 몬테카를로 방법으로써 싸이트(Site)의 채워짐 여부를 점검하고 Hoshen-Kopelman 방법으로써 자유 공간에 연결된 클러스터(Cluster)에 포함된 싸이트들의 수를 계산하여 채워진 싸이트의 총 개수에 대한 연결 싸이트들의 개수의 비로써 구한다. AECL-2230, CBX 핵연료봉 실험의 기체 방출분율 자료에 대하여, FASTGRASS 코드의 상호연결분율 함수를 영역별로 계산한 상호연결분율로 대치하여 계산한 결과와 비교하였다. 균열과 재조직은 핵분열 기체 방출에 상당히 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 모델의 주요 장점은 결정립계에서의 상호연결현상을 단순 상호연결분율보다 좀더 사실적으로 모의하며 결정립의 성장과 균열을 고려할 수 있다는 점이다.

In this study, we measure the initial electrical conductivity of SCF/rubber specimens and SCF/rubber specimens with nickel particles respectively. The corresponding electrical conductivity with compressive strain on the specimens is also measured. Through this experiment, we observed the effects of the volume fraction of carbon fiber, nickel particles and external strain on the electrical conductivity. Experiments show that even a small difference in the volume fraction of SCF plays a major role in the change of the electrical conductivity and that the piezoresistivity increases due to fiber reorientation respond to external strain. In addition, the nickel particles contribute to improving the electrical conductivity in specimens with carbon fibers above the threshold volume fraction. It was confirmed that there is an effect of offsetting the increment in the piezoresistivity caused by the reorientation of carbon fibers according to external strain.

In order to develope the porous alumina ceramics with high strength, the pore characteristics and compressive strength were investigated in terms of relation to the conditions of spark-plasma sintering and the contents of graphite as a pore precursor. Porous alumina bodies were successfully prepared by spark-plasma sintering and burning out graphite in air. High porous bodies were fabricated by sintering at 1000${\circ}C$ for 3 min under a pressure of 30 MPa, heating rate of 80${\circ}C$/min and on-off pulse type of 12:2. For example, alumina bodies prepared by the addition of 10∼30 vol% graphite showed high porosity of 50∼57%. Also, the open porosity increased with graphite content. The relationship between pore characteristics and graphite contents could be explained by percolation model depending on cluster number and size. Porous alumina bodies prepared by the addition of 10∼30 vol% graphite showed the high compressive strength of 55∼200 MPa. This great improvement in strength was considered to be mainly due to the spark-plasma discharges and the self-heating action between particles.
