The shock wave and boundary layer interaction patterns in an over-expanded rocket nozzle are associated with the production of undesirable side-forces during the start-up and shut-down processes of the engine. In the present work, a computational study is carried out to investigate the effect of the transient nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) on the flow fields inside the nozzle. The unsteady, compressible, axisymmetric, Navier-Stocks equations with SST k-${\omega}$ turbulence model are solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. NPR is varied from 2.0 to 10.0, in order to simulate the start-up and shut-down processes of the rocket engine. It is observed that the interaction patterns and the hysteresis phenomenon strongly depend on the time variation of NPR, leading to significantly different characteristics in the lateral forces.

Lately, the modulated EGR system that includes EGR valve and EGR cooler is being installed in diesel engines fur the purpose of the simultaneous reduction of NOx and PM. In this study. we designed and constructed a test bench for the performance evaluation of the modulated EGR system, and tested an electronically controlled EGR valve for 2.0 L diesel engines. The performance of the EGR valve was evaluated in terms of the valve lift behavior. the valve opening/closing response, and the mass flow rate through the valve. The valve lift with respect to the duty ratio of PWM signal was non-linear, and followed a different path fur valve opening and closing, that is, hysteresis. The valve opening response was concluded satisfactory falling within the usual standard response time. For the duty ratio of 40 to 60%, the mass flow rate through the valve was observed to depend on the pressure difference across the valve as well as the duty ratio, while it solely depended on the pressure difference fur the duty ratio above 60%.

A low-cost and flexible potassium ion (K⁺) sensor was fabricated through a screen-printed process. Uniform and conformal coating of conductive inks was verified by scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy measurements. The K⁺-sensors showed a high sensitivity, fast response time, and low detection limit. The sensitivity of K⁺-sensor was similar to that of both mechanically normal and bent states. The K⁺-sensor exhibited a good reproducibility with no hysteresis effect and excellent long term stability. In addition, the K⁺-sensor showed an excellent selectivity for K⁺ concentrations in the presence of other interfering cation ions. Successful measurements of K⁺ concentrations in sports drink samples were demonstrated by comparing K⁺ concentration values from K⁺-sensor to those of using a commercial K⁺-meter.

The rheological characteristics of highly concentrated polymer bonded explosive simulant were studied. Hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and polyethylene plastomer (Exact) were used as binders. Sugar and Dechlorane particles whose physical properties are similar to research department explosive (RDX) were used as fillers. When HTPB was used, diethyl hexyl adipate (DEHA or DOA) was used as a plasticizer together for some cases. Highly concentrated suspensions were mixed in a batch melt mixer (Rheomixer 600, Haake) and rheological properties were measured by plate-plate and capillary rheometers. Wall slip phenomena, thixotropy with shear hysteresis, and flow instability were investigated as shear rate and amount of fillers changed.

This paper presents characteristics of pressure sensor using shear-type piezoresistor of LPCVD(low pressure chemical vapour deposition) grown polycrystalline silicon films. The sensor has 3.1mV/V of pressure sensitivity in the pressure range of $1kgf/cm^{2}$, ${\pm}0.012%FS/^{\circ}C$ of TCO, and ${\pm}0.08%FS/^{\circ}C$ of TCS in the temperature range of $-20{\sim}+125^{\circ}C$. It showed ${\pm}0.2%FS$ of hysteresis and ${\pm}1.5%FS$ of non-linearity. Shear-type polycrystalline silicon pressure sensor can eliminate temperature dependence of offset caused by resistors mismatch and be used in relatively wide temperature range, compared to the conventional full-bridge silicon pressure sensors.

Due to the size limit, the voice coil motor (VCM) is adopted in most of the mobile phone camera to control auto-focus instead of step motor. The optical system using the VCM has the property that the focus values are varying even though the same current is induced. It means that an error of the lens position was taken placed due to the characteristics of the VCM. In this paper, a algorithm was proposed to compensate the lens position error using the step size and the search count of each stage. In the proposed algorithm -7 step middle searching stage is inserted the conventional searching algorithm for the fast auto-focus searching and the final searing step size was set to +1 for the precise focus control, respectively. In the experimental results, the focus values was found more fast in the proposed algorithm than the conventional. And more the image quality by the proposed algorithm was superior to that of the conventional.

In this paper, development of tape-springs made of composite materials was conducted for the deployment structures along with design, analysis, fabrication, and numerical and experimental investigation of mechanical behavior of the tape-springs. To this end, the tape-springs were manufactured according to three stacking patterns, and numerical and experimental investigation were conducted to determine whether or not they were damaged during bending with various selected composite materials. Finally, optimal stacking patterns that do not cause damage were selected during bending. With this information, the four-point bending test was conducted to obtain the moment-rotation curves. From results, it was confirmed that the nonlinear hysteresis phenomenon of the tape-springs was properly realized according to folding and unfolding. Therefore, it was confirmed that the composite material tape spring was properly developed.

A new method was developed for growing oxidation film by thermal reaction of $NH_3$ and $O_2$. The growth rate increased with the increase of partial pressure of $NH_3$. Optical transparency of the growth film was 12% at the wave number 1100 $cm^{-1}$ compared with 17% by thermal dry oxidation method, and the quality was much better. In C-V characteristic curve, $Q_{OX}$ was almost equal to $Q_{SS}$ and no hysteresis phenomena was observed. n-MOS transistors fabricated with this new method showed $I_D$-$V_{DS}$ characteristics better than thermal dry oxidation method.

자동차 엔진의 주기적인 연소과정 동아네 생성된 힘에 의해 엔진의 크랭크 샤프트에 회전 불균일성이 나타난다. 이것은 엔진 플라이휘일 부분에 비틀림 변동토크를 발생시키고, 이 토크는 클러치를 통하여 변속기의 인풋기어(input gear)에 전달되어 변속기에 비틀림 진동을 일으키는 주요 원인이 된다. 공회전시 변속기에서 기어의 충돌은 주로 이 비틀림 변동토크에 의해 발생하며, 이 충돌은 차내 소음의 원인이 된다. 또한 엔진의 경량화 및 고출력화에 따른 회전수 변동의 증가는 비틀림 변동토크를 증가시켜 변속기에 커다란 진동을 초래한다. 시뮬레이션을 사용한 클러치 비틀림 기구의 적절한 특성치를 구하는 것은 클러치 설계에 효율적이고, 이미 여러 연구 결과들이 보고되었다. H.Arai은 2자유도 비선형 모델을 사용하여 클러치 접속시 발생하는 외란과 계의 안정성을 고려하여 치타음 저감을 위한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고, S.Ohnuma은 비선형 2단 비틀림 특성을 가진 클러치 디스크의 설계에 대해서, 그리고, T.Fujimoto와 R.J.Comparin는 치타음의 발생구조와 특성을 고찰하고 비선형 비틀림 공진 저감에 의한 치타음 저감 기법에 대하여 연구하였다. 그리고, Wu Hui-Le는 자동차 동력전달계의 비틀림 진동 현상을 실험과 이론적인 계산을 통해 연구하였고, G.J.Fudala는 다자유도 모델을 이용하여 클러치의 비틀림 특성에 따라 주파수분석을 수행하여 치타음 저감 방법을 연구하였다. 또한, T.Sakai는 5자유도 모델을 이용하여 엔진 공회전시 발생하는 치타음에 대해 이론과 실험을 통해 해석하고, 엔진 회전수 변동, 클러치 특성, 변속기의 드래그(drag) 토크의 영향과 치타음 저감을 위한 개선된 클러치 특성을 제시하였다. 클러치는 동력을 전달 또는 차단하는 기능 뿐만 아니라 엔진이나 변속기에서 발생하는 소음이나 진동을 저감시키는 기능을 가지고 있다. 따라서 엔진 공회전시에 발생하는 치타음(rattle noise)이나 비틀림 진동을 저감시키는 방법으로는 여러가지가 있으나 클러치 디스크(clutch disc)의 비틀림 기구의 설계 인자들을 적절히 조절함으로써 변속기의 인풋기어에 전달되는 비틀림 진동을 저감시키는 방법이 일반적으로 수행되어지고 있다. 본 연구는 4 실린더 4 싸이클 1.5L 엔진을 장착한 경승용차의 실차실험을 통해 공회전시 엔진 플라이휘일과 인풋기어에서의 회전수 변동을 측정하고, 이 실험 데이타를 기초로 하여 엔진 토크 및 변속기에서의 드래그 토크를 계산하여 엔진-변속기 인풋기어의 반한정계 2자유도 진동모델과 비틀림 특성을 가진 클러치 디스크의 프리댐퍼 영역에 대해 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 클러치 비틀림 기구의 설계인자인 비틀림 강성, 히스테리시스 토크에 따른 비틀림 진동 저감 효과를 연구하고자 한다.

$VO_2$ is an attractive thermochromic material, in which its electrical and optical properties can be switched by the structural phase-transition about $68^{\circ}C$. Recently, graphene is also a rising material which is researched as a transparent electrode because of its superior electrical and optical characteristics. In this respect, we try to fabricate the hybridized films using $VO_2$ and graphene on transparent sapphire substrate and then we investigate a structure and characterize an optical property for the samples as a function of temperature. According to the result of IR-transmittance analysis of $VO_2$ films as a function of temperature, the graphene-supported sapphire substrates are better about 10% than the bare sapphire substrates. The mean phase transition temperatures are also decreased as the number of graphene-layers increased and the hysteresis of phase transitions are narrowed.
