The effects of window cover on the performance of the plate type radiant cooling test system are studied. The cover materials tested are 2mm, 1mm, 0.7mm glass, Cokin 007 filter, and PVC film. The measurements are performed during the September nights of 2005 at the rooftop of the building in Seoul. The equivalent height of the building is about a building with twelve floors. The radiant cooling performance of the black painted and aluminum film coated plate are compared under no cover condition. Also the results are compared when the system has cover over the plate. In general, the covers reduce the radiant cooling temperature differences during the nighttime. Among these covers, the PVC film cover shows the best performance. In some cases, the plate with PVC film cover shows lower temperatures than the system without cover.

Hot shear-welding is a process of bonding two plates together by using shearing stress in a controlled manner. This study dealt with the hot shear-welding process of two aluminum plates. These two plates were piles up in the shear-welding mold. Due to the shearing stress, these two plates were cut off longitudinally, and meantime they were welded together. During this process the control of the surplus material flow is very important, and it can be realized by designing the overlapping length and the shape of the cavity. The commercial software Deform-3D was employed to predict the effect of these two factors. The overlapping length and the shape of the cavity that presents the optimum design was then developed to get a good shear-welding process.

Adhesion of Copper film on the aluminum oxide layer formed by anodizing an aluminum plate was enhanced by applying ion beam mixing method. Forming an conductive metal layer on the insulating oxide surface without using adhesive epoxy bonds provide metal-PCB(Printed Circuit Board) better thermal conductivities, which are crucial for high power electric device working condition. IBM (Ion beam mixing) process consists of 3 steps; a preliminary deposition of an film, ion beam bombardment, and additional deposition of film with a proper thickness for the application. For the deposition of the films, e-beam evaporation method was used and 70 KeV N-ions were applied for the ion beam bombardment in this work. Adhesions of the interfaces measured by the adhesive tape test and the pull-off test showed an enhancement with the aid of IBM and the adhesion of the ion-beam-mixed films were commercially acceptable. The mixing feature of the atoms near the interface was studied by scanning electron microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

A three-dimensional finite element model has been developed to simulate the MIG P/S welding process of two aluminum plates. The finite element calculations are performed using ANSYS finite element code, which takes into account the thermal and mechanical non-linear material properties. The results of finite element analysis compared with those of experiment to show its validity in view of distortions. Parametric studies are carried out on the validated model to assess the effects of various factors on the final residual distortion. Large deformations, temperature dependent material properties are included in the model. Finally, the formulas of fitting curves of angular distortion transverse shrinkage, and longitudinal shrinkage have been proposed.

The co-cured joint has been widely used in joining process of composite structures due to its simple and easy manufacturing process. In this paper, the effect of stacking sequence of the carbon epoxy prepreg, bonding length and thickness of the aluminum plate on the static tensile load capability of the co-cured aluminum-composite double lap joint were experimentally investigated. From experimental results, the optimum EA ratios with respect to stacking sequence and bonding length of the co-cured joint were obtained, which may be useful for the joining of hybrid structures.

One of the main causes of unwanted dimensional changes in precision metal mold casting parts is excessive and irregular residual stresses induced by temperature gradients and plastic deformation in the solidifying shell. Residual stresses can also cause stress cracking and lower the fatigue life and fracture strength of the casting parts,. In the present study aluminum alloy casting system with metal mold equipped with electrical heating elements and water cooling units was designed and the casting specimens were produced to quantify the effects of different cooling conditions on the development of residual stresses. the layer removal method was used to measure the biaxial residual stresses in casting specimens produced from the experiments. The experimental results agreed with Tien-Richmond's theoretical model for thermal stress development for the solidifying metal plate

As demand regarding a recent energy-saving rises, the using ratio of the aluminum plate in manufacturing of a railroad vehicle has been increasing. The aluminum structure to be applied to a railroad vehicle is divided to single skin and double skin, and the main aluminum product is mainly Al 6005 extrude and Al 5083 rolled in domestic market. The Al 6005 alloy is applied heat treatment in order to improve the strength of material. Therefore there is the disadvantage that the strength of welding zone decreases compare with base material's if you apply to fusion welding like MIG(metal inert gas) welding. In this paper we tried to apply friction stir welding to solve these problems. In this study we investigated how tensile strength and fatigue strength were changed in case of changing the shoulder diameter of thread tool.

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the frosting behaviors of thermally conductive plastic(PBT based resin) resin by comparing with those of aluminum and some plastic(PTFE based resin) test specimens. It is found that the frosting behavior of plastic specimens with 1 mm thickness show similar trend with aluminum except PTFE. The properties of frost formed on the specimens are affected by both thermal conductivityand surface characteristics (hydrophilic/hydrophobic) of the materials. It can be said that the heat and mass transfer rate of plastic materials are almost equivalent with those of aluminum.

In order to select a new material for a heat exchanger, the frosting behavior of a thermally conductive plastic based on PBT was compared to the frosting behavior of aluminum and three types of plastics based on PTFE. The frosting behavior on the 1 mm thick PBT specimen was similar to that of the aluminum specimen but not that of the pure PTFE specimen. The properties of the frost formed on the specimens were affected by both the thermal conductivity and surface characteristics of the materials. The heat and mass transfer rates of the thermally conductive plastic were almost equivalent to those of the aluminum specimen.

Sheet aluminum alloys have been used in manufacturing of machine structures. In fatigue crack propagation behavior of thin sheet aluminum alloys, it is important that fatigue crack growth rate is affected by crack closure phenomenon. In this work, we analyzed the characteristics of fatigue crack propagation behavior in experiment of constant stress condition for thin sheet Al 2024-T3 alloys, and identified the retardation behavior of crack growth by comparing experimental results of thin and thick plate specimen. We attempt to operate the fatigue life estimating process using the fatigue related material constants from referred fatigue crack propagation analysis. And we analyzed the experimental and prediction results of fatigue life of thin sheet aluminum alloy in order to identify the relation between retardation behavior of fatigue crack growth and crack closure phenomenon.
