In this study, we developed an ultra-thin flexible printed circuit board(FPCB) using the sputtered flexible copper clad laminate. In order to enhance the adhesion between copper and polyimide substrate, a NiMoNb addition layer was applied. The mechanical durability and flexibility of the ultra-thin FPCB were characterized by stretching, twisting, bending fatigue test, and peel test. The stretching test reveals that the ultra-thin FPCB can be stretched up to 7% without failure. The twisting test shows that the ultra-thin FPCB can withstand an angle of up to $120^{\circ}$. In addition, the bending fatigue test shows that the FPCB can withstand 10,000 bending cycles. Numerical analysis of the stress and strain during stretching indicates the strain and the maximum von Mises stress of the ultra-thin FPCB are comparable to those of the conventional FPCB. Even though the ultra-thin FPCB shows slightly lower durability than the conventional FPCB, the ultra-thin FPCB has enough durability and robustness to apply in industry.

Since the paved road suffers from various types of repeated loads for the duration of it's life, it is likely to cause permanent deformation and fatigue finaly destroying the pavement performance. Accordingly, if we are to keep the pavement performance in good condition, it is required to take staps to prevent such troubles from happening in each stage of pavement, and thus to improve the stability of pavement. We find it is quite important to settle the problems such as permanent deformation and fatigue rupture by repeated loads both on subbase course and on subgrade. In this regard, we examined the deformation characteristics of soil cements, on which repeated loads are applied. For the effective examination, we chose to use soil-cements made of cohesive soil and sandy soil respectively, which had $20kg/cm^2$ of unconfined compression strength, at the age of 7 days. The experimental results are: 1. The elastic modulus of soil cement from sandy soil is higher than that of soil cement from cohesive soil. 2. The elastic modulus thends to decrease as the repeated loads rund up to 1,000 times, while increasing between 1,000 times and $1{\times}10^5$ times. 3. Unconfined compression strength is seen to increase about 30%.

오버레이용접에 의한 표면개질기술(Weld Surfacing or Hardfacing Technology)은 내식성, 내 마모성, 또는 내열성을 갖는 합금의 용접재료를 모재 표면에 균일하게 용착(오버레이:Ovedayer)시킴으로써 목적하는 재료의 표면성질을 향상시키는 표면처리의 한 방법이으로써 1922년 Stoody가 Steel Tube에 Cr합금 분말을 충진한 용접봉을 제조하여 석유시추용 회전드릴의 선단 표면을 오버 레이 용접시켜 내마모성을 획기적으로 개선시킴으로써 이루어 졌다. 초기 오버레이 용접기술은 발전설비I 제철설비I 시벤트설비, 그리고 제지설비 등 주로 설비 부품들의 표면부 내마모성을 개선시키는 방향으로 주로 연구 개발이 이루어졌으나, 기술개발의 진전으로 탈황설비 둥의 표면부 내식성 향상, 연속주조롤 표면부의 내산화성, 내열피로성, 내마모 성 향상 둥을 위해 점차 산업전반에 널리 이용되고 있으며, 설비의 고도화 및 장수명화가 요구되 면서 본 기술의 중요성 또한 점차 부각되고 있다. 그림 1은 연강의 모재 위에 셀프쉴드플럭스코어드와이어(Self-Shield Flux Cored Wire:SS-FCW, 이하 55-FCW라 기술함)를 사용하여 오버레이 용접올 하는 장면을 도식적으로 나 타낸 것이다. 모재와 전극재인 용접봉(S5-FCW) 사이에서 아크가 발생되고, 아크열에 의해서 용접 봉 및 모재 일부가 용융되면서 모재 표면에 새로운 오버레이 표면층이 형성된다. 통상 오버레이 층의 1층 두께는 2-6mm 내외이며, 단층 혹은 다충 오버레이를 자유롭게 실시한다. 오버레이층의 물성은 아크열에 의한 모재로의 용입정도에 따라 1층부에서는 모재의 영향을 크게 받지만 오버레 이충 수가 증가된 3층부에서 부터는 전적으로 용접봉의 성분에 좌우된다. 사진 1은 연강(55-41)의 모재위에 크롬탄화물이 다량 함유된 고크롬 탄화물형 내마모재가 오버 레이된 내마모 복합강판 (wear plate)의 단면 미세조직 사진으로써 모재부와 오버레이충을 함께 보여주고 있다. 모재와 오버레이 충간의 경계면은 모재 일부가 용융된 후 웅고하면서 형성됨으로 인해서 도금이나 용사층과는 달리 매우 견고하게 결합되어 있다. 따라서 계면부의 탈락이라는 문 제점은 거의 없어 심한 응력을 받는 기계구조물 및 부품에도 본 기술은 널리 적용되고 있다. 그리고 사진 1에서 알 수 있는 바와 같이 모재와는 전혀 상이한 재료를 자유로이 선택하여 표면 유효층 일부만 오버레이시키며I 주조 및 단조가 불가능한 재료까지도 표면부에 오버레이 시킴으로 서 부품 및 설비의 제조에 있어 재료비의 절감과 제품의 수명이 획기적으로 개선될 수 있다. 그리고 최근에는 도금 빛 용사 둥과 같은 표면처리를 할 경우임의 소재 표면에 도금 및 용 사에 용이한 재료를 오버레이용접시킨 후 표면처리를 함으로써 보다 고품질의 표면층을 얻기위한 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 국내, 외의 오버레이 용접기술의 적용현황 및 대표적인 적용사례, 오버레이 용접기술 및 용접재료의 개발현황 둥을 중심으로 살펴봄으로서 아직 국내에서는 널리 알려지지 않은 본 기 술의 활용을 넓이고자 한다.

Phase transformation, superelastic characteristics and variation of surface residual stress were studied for Nitinol shape memory alloy through application of UNSM technology, and life extension methods of stent were also studied by using elastic resilience and corrosion resistance. Nitinol wire of ${\phi}1.778$ mm showed similar surface roughness before and after UNSM treatment, but drawing traces and micro defects were all removed by UNSM treatment. It also changed the surface residual stress from tensile to compressive values, and XRD result showed less intensive austenite peak and clear martensite and additional R-phase peaks after UNSM treatment. Fatigue resistance could be greatly improved through removal of surface defects and rearrangement of surface residual stress from tensile to compressive state, and development of surface modification system to improve not only bio-compatability but also resistance to corrosion and wear will make it possible to develop vascular stent which can be used for circulating system diseases which run first cause of death of recent Koreans.

In this study, von Mises stress and total strain energy density characteristics of lead pin in PGA (Pin Grid Array) packages have been calculated by using the FEM (Finite Element Method). FEM computation is carried out with various heat treatment conditions of lead pin material under $20^{\circ}$ bending and 50 mm tension condition. Results show that von Mises stress locally concentrated on lead pin corners and interface between lead pin head and solder. von Mises stress and total strain energy density decrease as heat treatment temperature of lead pin increases. Also, round shaped corner of lead pin decreases both von Mises stress and total strain energy density on interface between lead pin head and solder. This means that PGA package reliability can be improved by changing the mechanical property of lead pin through heat treatment. This has been known that solder fatigue life decreases as total strain energy density of solder increases. Therefore, it is recommended that both optimized lead pin shape and optimized material property with high lead pin heat treatment temperature determine better PGA package reliability.

A thinner is used to improve the multi-walled carbon nano-tube (CNT) and carbon black (CB) dispersion in a polymer matrix and to make a soft electrode. The electrical and mechanical properties of the soft electrodes are investigated as functions of CNT, CB and thinner content. The optimal mixing condition for the electrode is thinner 80, CNT 3.5, CB 18 (phr) on the basis of matrix (KE-12). The specific resistance of that is 73 (${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$), and tensile strength, tensile modulus, and elongation of that is 0.45 MPa, 0.21 MPa, and 184%, respectively. Also, a simple structure of the actuator with an optimized electrode and elastomer is fabricated and its characteristic is evaluated. At the operating voltage 25 kV, the displacement of an elastomer KE-12 is 2.24 mm, and that of an elastomer KE-12 with thinner 50 (phr) is 4.05 mm. It shows a higher displacement compared to that of 3M 4910 which has similar modulus. The actuator made with elastomer and electrode of the same material (KE-12) may have advantages for fatigue life and application.

The landing gear is a component that requires a high degree of safety to protect the lives of rotary-wing aircraft and boarding personnel, absorbing the impact on transfer/landing and supporting the fuselage during taxiing and mooring on the ground. In particular, the wheel landing gear supporting the aircraft fuselage absorbs most of the shock from the ground through the shock absorber and tires. This ensures the safety of the pilot on board the aircraft and satisfies the operational capability of the soldiers between missions. During the operation of a rotary-wing aircraft, a number of piston pins, which are a component of the right main wheel landing gear, were found to be broken. Therefore, this study examined the root cause of the piston pin crack phenomenon found in the main wheel landing gear. For this purpose, various causes were identified from fracture surface analysis of a flight test. In particular, the possibility of cracking was analyzed based on the influence on the fastening torque with the drag beam component applied to the piston pin at the time of development. This ensures the fatigue life and structural integrity.

The general non-destructive inspection method for anchor bolts in Korea applies visual inspection and hammering inspection, but it is difficult to check corrosion or fatigue cracks of anchor bolts in the part included in the foundation or in the part where the nut and base plate are installed. In reality, objective investigation is difficult because inspection is affected by the surrounding environment and individual differences, so it is necessary to develop non-destructive inspection technology that can quantitatively estimate these defects. Inspection of the anchor bolts of domestic road facilities is carried out by visual inspection, and since the importance of anchor bolts such as bridge bearings and fall prevention facilities is high, the life span of bridges is extended through preventive maintenance by developing non-destructive testing technology along with existing inspection methods. Through the development of this technology, non-destructive testing of anchor bolts is performed and as a technology capable of preemptive/active maintenance of anchor bolts for road facilities, practical use is urgently needed. In this paper, the possibility of detecting defects in anchor bolts such as corrosion and cracks and reliability were experimentally verified by applying the ultrasonic test among non-destructive inspection techniques. When the technology development is completed, it is expected that it will be possible to realize preemptive/active maintenance of anchor bolts by securing source technology for improving inspection reliability.
