Laminated composite materials have excellent in-plane properties, but are vulnerable in thickness directions, making it easy to delamination when bending and torsion loads are applied. Thickness directional reinforcement methods of composite materials that delay delamination include Z-pinning, Stitching, Tufting, etc., and typically Z-pinning and Stitching method are commonly used. The Z-pinning is reinforcement method by inserting metal or carbon pin in the thickness direction of prepreg, and the conventional stitching process is a method of reinforcing the mechanical properties in the thickness direction by intersecting the upper and lower fibers on the preform. In this paper, I-fiber stitching method, which complement and improve weakness of Z-pinning and Stitching method, was proposed, and the static strength of composite single-lap joints using I-fiber stitching process were evaluated. The single-lap joints were fabricated by a co-curing method using an autoclave vacuum bag process. The thickness of the composite adherend was fixed, and 5 types of specimens were manufactured with varying the stitching pattern (5×5, 7×7) and angle (0°, 45°). From the test, the failure load of the specimen reinforced by the I-fiber stitching process was increased by up to 143% compared to that of specimen without reinforcement.

Composite lap joints have been extensively used due to their excellent properties and the demand for light structures. However, due to the weak mechanical properties in the thickness direction, the lap joint is easily fractured. various reinforcement methods that delay fracture by dispersing stress concentration have been applied to overcome this problem, such as z-pinning and conventional stitching. The Z-pinning is reinforcement method by inserting metal or carbon pin in the thickness direction of prepreg, and the conventional stitching process is a method of reinforcing the mechanical properties in the thickness direction by intersecting the upper and lower fibers on the preform. I-fiber stitching method is a promising technology that combines the advantages of both z-pinning and the conventional stitching. In this paper, the static and fatigue strengths of the single-lap joints reinforced by the I-fiber stitching process were evaluated. The single-lap joints were fabricated by a co-curing method using an autoclave vacuum bag process and I-fiber reinforcing effects were evaluated according to adherend thickness and stitching angle. From the experiments, the thinner the composite joint specimen, the higher the I-fiber reinforcement effect, and Ifiber stitched single lap joints showed a 52% improvement in failure strength and 118% improvement in fatigue strength.

Bearings of marine engines are operated under severe conditions because of dynamic load and low sliding speed. This paper deals with lubrication analysis of a crank pin bearing for a marine diesel engine. Journal center locus and oil film thickness are compared of crank pin bearing. In the past researches, journal bearings have been studied only about the surface of bearing. In addition to this conventional research, this paper analyzes the effect of roundness error of a journal and a bearing on the minimum film thickness. Numerical analysis has been studied by using Reynolds equation and also Half-Sommerfeld condition is applied as boundary condition. Futhermore, this study investigates the effect of roundness error change on the minimum film thickness. The results demonstrate that the bigger amplitude of roundness error yields, the lower minimum oil film thickness is. In comparison to previous research considered a journal and a bearing individually, the results considering a journal and a bearing together show that amplitude of roundness error of journal has very little effect on the minimum oil film thickness.

This paper presents the dual resonance PIFA(Planar Inverted F-Antenna) which satisfies the requirements of the 802.11n standard at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. Patch for 2.4 GHz and U-Type slot for 5 GHz were used for dual resonance, respectively. In this paper, the characteristics of an antenna were investigated by varying locations of short plate and feed point, the width of the short plate, the thickness and the location of U-Type slot. To investigate the characteristics of the PIFA, HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulation) for the simulation was used. And the measurement results of a fabricated PIFA were compared with the simulated ones. The measurement and simulation results show that good dual resonance characteristics as the thickness of U-type slot decreases and when the location of U-type slot is far from the feed point.

전이금속 칼코겐화합물(TMD)은 2차원 박막 물질로, 그래핀과 함께 차세대 사물인터넷에 적용할 수 있는 전자소자의 소재로 활용될 것으로 기대되고 있다. 특히 TMD는 그래핀과 다르게 1.2 eV 이상의 넓은 밴드갭을 지녀, 기존 실리콘 기반 반도체 소자를 대체할 차세대 물질로 각광받고 있다. TMD는 또한 실리콘 등의 3차원 반도체보다 광전효율이 뛰어나며, 이를 활용한 광전소자의 개발 및 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 TMD는 그 두께가 나노미터 단위로 매우 얇아 광흡수율이 매우 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 우리는 이러한 TMD 기반 광전소자의 광흡수율을 향상시키기 위해 광전효율이 매우 뛰어난 페로브스카이트(Perovskite)를 TMD 채널 위에 덮음으로써, 이종접합 광전소자를 구현하였다. TMD 물질은 이황화 몰리브데넘($MoS_2$)을 선택하였으며, 광흡수층으로 선택한 페로브스카이트는 $MAPbI_3$을 스핀 코팅을 통해 TMD 채널 층에 접합하였다. 우리는 Photoluminescence 및 UV-Vis 측정을 통해 페로브스카이트 및 페로브스카이트/$MoS_2$ 층의 광특성을 측정하여 페로브스카이트에서 생성된 광캐리어가 확산되어 $MoS_2$에 전달되는 것을 확인하였다. 우리는 추가로 4가지 서로 다른 파장대의 레이저(520, 655, 785, 850 nm)를 이용하여 페로브스카이트 광흡수층이 있을 때와 없을 때의 $MoS_2$ 광검출기의 성능 변화를 관찰하였다.

In recent years, nanomaterials, such as nano-silica, carbon nanotubes, and graphene oxide (GO), have been suggested to improve the properties of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between aggregates and cement pastes, which has most adversely affected the strength of quasi-brittle concrete. Among the nanomaterials, GO with superior dispersibility has been reported to be effective in improving the properties of ITZ of normal-strength concrete by forming interfacial chemical bonds with Ca²⁺ ions abundant in ITZ. In this study, the effect of GO on the properties of ITZ in the high-strength mortar was elucidated by calculating the change in hydration heat release, ITZ thickness, and the porosity around ISO sand, which was obtained with isothermal calorimetry tests and scanning electron microscope image analysis, respectively.
