The global demand for oil and natural gas has increased, and resource development is moving to the deep sea. Floating and flexible offshore structures such as semi-submersible, spar, and FPSO structures have been widely used. The major equipment of floating structures is always exposed to waves, currents, and other marine environmental factors, which cause structural damage. Moreover, flexible risers are susceptible to an exciting force due to the motion of the floating body. The inline and transverse responses from the three-dimensional behavior of a floating structure occur because of various forces. Typical risers are made of steel pipe and applied in the oil and gas development field, but flexible materials such as polyethylene are suitable for OTEC risers. Consequently, the optimal design of a flexible offshore plant requires a dynamic behavior analysis of slender bodies made of the different materials commonly used for offshore flexible risers. In this study, a three-dimensional motion measurement device was used to analyze the displacements of riser models induced by external force factors, and forced oscillation of a riser was linked to forced oscillation under a steady flow and regular wave condition.

일반적으로 22.9[kV] 이하의 케이블은 가교폴리에틸렌(XLPE)을 절연체로 사용하고 있다. XLPE내부의 결함으로 인한 사고로 경제적 및 인명피해가 발생한다. 이러한 사고에 대한 처리 기준이 마련이 되어 있지 않아 사고처리의 체계화가 시급히 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 XLPE 케이블의 사고 요인이 되는 전기적 열화현상에 대한 자료구축을 위하여 XLPE에 곡율반경이 $10[{\mu}m]$인 침천극을 삽입하여 절연파괴, 트리형상 및 연면방전 시료를 제작하였다. 단시간 파괴는 AC 60[Hz]의 전압을 1[kV/sec] 상승하였으며, 장기과전의 경우 AC 60[Hz]의 전압을 12[kV] 및 17[kV]를 인가하여 전기적 열화 특성에 대하여 실험을 하였다.

For TEM study of biological samples or polymers that are contained in organic structure, it is often required that the sample is prepared by using ultramicrotome and stained with proper agents to increase the contrast of organic structure. In this study, we investigated an efficient TEM sample preparation method for ductile heterogeneity material by using ultramicrotomy. Cryo-ultramicrotomy is a suitable method that is capable of rendering sample hardness for various ductile materials. However, it has several factors to consider, such as experimental cost, working time and finding the optimal staining conditions. To satisfy these considerations, we prepared TEM sample by using ultramicrotome without cryofunction, and secured the sample hardness by applying the staining process prior to ultrathin sectioning. The cross-linked polyethylene structure in the sample was stained with the 2% $RuO_4$ solution in a sealed test tube for 24 hours at $4^{\circ}C$. After the sample staining, ultrathin sections of sample were prepared using ultramicrotome. As a result, it was revealed that the difficulties associated with staining of ultrathin sections prepared by low-temperature conditions were improved. In addition, appropriate staining depth of sample could be selected for sectioning process. The quality of TEM sample obtained by using this method was better than that of cryo-ultramicroscopy. Finally, it is expected that our method could be effectively applied in TEM sample preparation for a variety of nano-bio convergence materials.

PURPOSE. This study evaluated the effect of chemical surface treatment using methyl formate-methyl acetate (MF-MA) solution on the tensile bond strength between acrylic denture teeth and auto-polymerized acrylic resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Seventy maxillary central incisor acrylic denture teeth for each of three different brands (Yamahachi New Ace; Major Dent; Cosmo HXL) were embedded with incisal edge downwards in auto-polymerized resin in polyethylene pipes and ground with silicone carbide paper on their ridge lap surfaces. The teeth of each brand were divided into seven groups (n=10): no surface treatment (control group), MF-MA solution at a ratio of 25:75 (v/v) for 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 120 seconds, 180 seconds, and MMA for 180 seconds. Auto-polymerized acrylic resin (Unifast Trad) was applied to the ground surface and polymerized in a pressure cooker. A tensile strength test was performed with a universal testing machine. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc Dunnett T3 test (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. The surface treatment groups had significantly higher mean tensile bond strengths compared with the control group (P<.05) when compared within the same brand. Among the surface treatment groups of each brand, there were no significantly different tensile bond strengths between the MF-MA groups and the MMA 180 second group (P>.05), except for the Yamahachi New Ace MF-MA 180-second group (P<.05). CONCLUSION. 15-second MF-MA solution can be an alternative chemical surface treatment for repairing a denture base and rebonding acrylic denture teeth with auto-polymerized acrylic resin, for both conventional and cross-linked teeth.

The needle electrode is inserted into the cross-linked polyethylene(XLPE) which is the ultra high voltage cable for electric power. By changing the tilt of the needle electrode, we investigated how the void and the thickness of the insulating layer influence the partial discharge(PD) characteristics and the insulating breakdown. In order to investigate the PD characteristics, The XLPE cable was used to the specimens and the tungsten electrode was used with the needle electrode. And the inner semi-conductive layer material of XLPE cable was used with the negative electrode by bonding with the use of conduction tape. The size of the specimens was manufactured to be $16{\times}40{\times}30[mm^3]$. We confirmed the effect on changing the PD characteristics according to the changing voltage and the tilt of the electrode after applying the voltage on the electrode from 1[kV] to 40[kV] at room temperature. In the PD characteristics, it was confirmed that the PD current of air void specimens with tilt was unstable more than that of no void specimens with tilt. It was also confirmed that the breakdown voltage was decreased because the effect of air void is more active than the change of the needle electrode tilt in the specimen with air void inside the insulation.

Polymer insulating materials such as cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) are employed in electric cables used for extra high voltage. These materials can degrade due to chemical, mechanical and electric stress, possibly caused by voids, the presence of extrinsic materials and protrusions. Therefore, this study measured discharge patterns, discharge phase angle, quantity and occurrence frequency as well as changes in XLPE under different temperatures and applied voltages. To quantitatively analyze the irregular partial discharge patterns measured, the discharge patterns were examined using a statistical program. A three layer sample was fabricated, wherein the upper and lower layers were composed of non-void XLPE, while the middle layer was composed of an air void and copper particles. After heating to room temperature and $50^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$ in silicone oil, partial discharge characteristics were studied by increasing the voltage from the inception voltage to the breakdown voltage. Partial discharge statistical analysis showed that when the K-means clustering was carried out at 9 kV to determine the void discharge characteristics, the amount discharged at low temperatures was small but when the temperature was increased to $80^{\circ}C$, the discharge amount increased to be 5.7 times more than that at room temperature because electric charge injection became easier. An analysis of the kurtosis and the skewness confirmed that positive and negative polarity had counterclockwise and clockwise clustering distribution, respectively. When 5 kV was applied to copper particles, the K-means was conducted as the temperature changed from $50^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$. The amount of charge at a positive polarity increased 20.3% and the amount of charge at a negative polarity increased 54.9%. The clustering distribution of a positive polarity and negative polarity showed a straight line in the kurtosis and skewness analyses.

감마선 조사된 초고분자량폴리에틸렌(UHMWPE)을 다양한 온도조건으로 열처리하여 기계적 물성변화를 구하였다. 열처리 조건은 어닐링(annealing)과 재용융(remelting) 온도범위를 선정하여 열처리하였다. $130^{\circ}C$ 이하의 어닐링 처리에 의해 강도와 파단시 연신율, 경도의 변화는 별로 없었지만, $140^{\circ}C$ 이상의 재용융처리에서는 기계적 물성의 급격한 저하가 발생하였다. FTIR해석 결과, 감마선 전처리에 따라 형성된 프리래디컬이 산화되었음을 알았다. 이와 같은 기계적 성질의 변화거동으로 나타나는 정량적인 데이터는 다양한 인공관절 부품의 설계와 해석에 필요한 기초적인 자료로 이용될 수 있다.

Research on aged insulation of cables by stress is constantly being considered for reliable and stable power transmission of offshore wind farms. This study aimed to evaluate the insulation characteristic of aged XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation for application of offshore wind farms. In this study, The XLPE insulation of cable was set as various mechanical strains. The XLPE insulation is exposed to the mechanical stress below yield strain of 5%, 10%, and 20%. Aged samples were tested by using the method of AC BDV (alternative current breakdown voltage), tensile strength, elongation, and SEM (scanning electron microscope) to obtain insulation characteristics. The experimental results show that the dielectric breakdown of the sample with a strain 20% was 50% lower than the unaged sample; thereby, demonstrating that the mechanical strain that occurred in the submarine cables can weaken the insulation characteristics. Therefore, mechanical strain should be monitored when laying and operating submarine cables for offshore wind farms.

폴리프로필렌은 가교폴리에틸렌을 대체할 수 있는 차세대 고전압 전력케이블 절연체로써 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 하지만, 폴리프로필렌은 탄성률이 크고 충격에 취약하여 단독으로 절연체로 사용될 수 없고, 중합 단계에서 고무상이 혼재된 공중합체 형태로 주로 활용된다. 본 논문에서는 내충격성 폴리프로필렌, 폴리올레핀 탄성체, 그리고 프로필렌-에틸렌 랜덤공중합체의 용융 혼합을 통해 연성의 폴리프로필렌계 블렌드를 제조하였다. 폴리프로필렌 기재를 유지하면서도 다량의 탄성체 상들을 지니는 적정 비율의 3성분계 블렌드를 개발하였고, 탄성체 상들의 도입에 의해 폴리프로필렌의 탄성률을 감소시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 25도 및 -40도에서의 충격강도 및 연신율을 크게 증가시킬 수 있었다. 또한, 동적기계분석을 통해 가교폴리에틸렌이 기계적 물성을 손실하는 100도 이상의 온도에서도 3성분계 블렌드는 고체 형태를 유지할 수 있는 범위의 저장탄성률을 나타내었다. 뿐만 아니라, 3성분계 블렌드는 30 kV/mm의 직류 전압 인가 하에서 공간전하를 효과적으로 억제시키는데 유리한 것으로 나타났다.
