지난 수십 년 동안, 외부 자극에 대한 응답성이 우수하면서도 인체에 적용할 수 있는 소프트 액추에이터 개발을 위한 많은 노력이 이어졌다. 본 연구에서는 동역학적 정밀 제어가 가능한 의료용 소프트 액추에이터를 개발하기 위해, 유해한 화학적 첨가제나 개시제 없이 방사선을 이용하여 전기 자극 반응성과 물리적 특성이 우수한 3차원 가교 구조의 poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) 하이드로겔을 합성하였다. 방사선 조사 후, 모든 하이드로겔은 75% 이상의 겔 분율을 나타내었고, 표면 반사 적외선 분광법을 통해 PAAc/PVA/PEG 하이드로겔이 성공적으로 합성되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 PAAc/PVA/PEG 하이드로겔의 겔 분율, 평형 수분 함량, 압축 강도를 측정하여 감마선의 총 조사 선량과 구성 성분의 함량비 조절에 따른 하이드로겔의 물리적 특성 변화를 확인하였다. 조사된 감마선의 선량이 증가하거나 poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA)의 함량이 많을수록 PAAc/PVA/PEG 하이드로겔은 높은 가교 밀도와 우수한 기계적 강도를 나타내었다. 또한 PAAc/PVA/PEG 하이드로겔은 3 V의 저전압에서도 전기적인 자극에 반응하였고, 전기장 하에서 이동성 이온의 움직임에 따른 하이드로겔의 밴딩 거동은 하이드로겔의 가교 밀도, 이온기의 함량, 인가 전압 및 전해질 용액의 이온 농도 등을 조절함으로써 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Analytical and experimental investigation on dynamic properties of extra lightweight concrete sandwich beams reinforced with various lay ups of carbon reinforced epoxy polymer composites (CFRP) are discussed. The lightweight concrete used in the core of the sandwich beams was made up of extra lightweight aggregate, Lica. The density of concrete was half of that of the ordinary concrete and its compressive strength was about $100Kg/cm^2$. Two extra lightweight unreinforced (control) beams and six extra lightweight sandwich beams with various lay ups of CFRP were clamped in one end and tested under an impact load. The dimension of the beams without considering any reinforcement was 20 cm ${\times}$ 10 cm ${\times}$ 1.4 m. These were selected to ensure that the effect of shear during the bending test would be minimized. Three other beams, made up of ordinary concrete reinforced with steel bars, were tested in the same conditions. For measuring the damping capacity of sandwich beams three methods, Logarithmic Decrement Analysis (LDA), Hilbert Transform Analysis (HTA) and Moving Block Analysis (MBA) were applied. The first two methods are in time domain and the last one is in frequency domain. A comparison between the damping capacity of the beams obtained from all three methods, shows that the damping capacity of the extra lightweight concrete decreases by adding the composite reinforced layers to the upper and lower sides of the beams, and becomes most similar to the damping of the ordinary beams. Also the results show that the stiffness of the extra lightweight concrete beams increases by adding the composite reinforced layer to their both sides and become similar to the ordinary beams.

As the first part of the body that strikes the ground during running, sports shoes are especially important for improving performance and reducing injuries. The use of new nanotechnology materials in the shoe's sole that can affect the movement angle of the foot and the ground reaction forces during running has not been reported yet. It is important to consider the material of the sole of the shoe since it determines the long-term performance of sports shoes, including their comfort while walking, running, and jumping. Running performance can be improved by polymer foam that provides good support with low energy dissipation (low energy dissipation). Running shoes have a midsole made of ethylene propylene copolymer (EPP) foam. The mechanical properties of EPP foam are, however, low. To improve the mechanical performance of EPP, conventional mineral fillers are commonly used, but these fillers sacrifice energy return. In this study, to improve the magnificence of physical education training with nanotechnology, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) derived from recycled plastics were prepared by catalytic chemical vapor deposition and used as nucleating and reinforcing agents. As a result of the results, the physical, mechanical, and dynamic response properties of EPP foam combined with CNT and zinc oxide nanoparticles were significantly improved. When CNT was added to the nanocomposites with a weight percentage of less than 0.5 wt%, the wear resistance, physical properties, dynamic stiffness, compressive strength, and rebound properties of EPP foams were significantly improved.

The steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) shows better performance under dynamic loading than conventional concrete in virtue of its good ductility. In this paper, a series of quasi-static experiments were carried out on the SFRC with volume fractions from 0 to 6%. The compressive strength increases by 38% while the tension strength increases by 106% when the fraction is 6.0%. The contact explosion tests were also performed on the ${\Phi}40{\times}6cm$ circular SFRC slabs of different volume fractions with 20 g RDX charges placed on their surfaces. The volume of spalling pit decreases rapidly with the increase of steel fiber fraction with a decline of 80% when the fraction is 6%, which is same as the crack density. Based on the experimental results, the fitting formulae are given, which can be used to predict individually the change tendencies of the blast crater volume, the spalling pit volume and the crack density in slabs with the increase of the steel fiber fraction. The new formulae of the thickness of damage region are established, whose predictions agree well with our test results and others. This is of great practical significance for experimental investigations and engineering applications.

The purpose of this study is to enhance the development of construction waste-recycling technologies and its economical efficiency by developing environment-friendly tetrapod, precast concrete, where recycled aggregate is used in order to promote recycling of waste concrete. The results of concrete mechanic characteristics experiments by the circulation coarse aggregate-replacement ratio are as the following. The circulation aggregate is lower and higher than natural aggregate in specific gravity and absorption ratio, respectively so that in case of mix proportioning, unit volume increases, while unit aggregate amount decreases. From the result, sufficient experiments of physical characteristics of circulation aggregate are required to get proper mix proportioning. When circulation aggregate-replacement ratio increases, compressive strength tends to decrease comprehensively, but 50% of replacement ratio is good enough to use. When circulation coarse aggregate's replacement ratio is 0%, drying shrinkage, which causes cracks in concrete and deteriorates durability, shows the minimum length change and the higher the ratio, the larger the length change. Thus. when using circulation coarse aggregate, drying shrinkage should be fairly examined. In freezing-and-thawing resistance, weight loss tends to comprehensively increase its loss at the circulation aggregate-mixed site. And the examination of surface aggregate-omission ratio is further needed and dynamic elastic modulus and durability factor(DF) require more study as well. In order to use circulation aggregate to tetrapod, a clear standard for strength should be first prepared and at the same time, more study about durability is needed.

Rockburst is a dynamic, multivariate, and non-linear phenomenon that occurs in underground mining and civil engineering structures. Predicting rockburst is challenging since conventional models are not standardized. Hence, machine learning techniques would improve the prediction accuracies. This study describes decision based uncertainty models to predict rockburst in underground engineering structures using gradient boosting algorithms (GBM). The model input variables were uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), uniaxial tensile strength (UTS), maximum tangential stress (MTS), excavation depth (D), stress ratio (SR), and brittleness coefficient (BC). Several models were trained using different combinations of the input variables and a 3-fold cross-validation resampling procedure. The hyperparameters comprising learning rate, number of boosting iterations, tree depth, and number of minimum observations were tuned to attain the optimum models. The performance of the models was tested using classification accuracy, Cohen's kappa coefficient (k), sensitivity and specificity. The best-performing model showed a classification accuracy, k, sensitivity and specificity values of 98%, 93%, 1.00 and 0.957 respectively by optimizing model ROC metrics. The most and least influential input variables were MTS and BC, respectively. The partial dependence plots revealed the relationship between the changes in the input variables and model predictions. The findings reveal that GBM can be used to anticipate rockburst and guide decisions about support requirements before mining development.

이 연구는 흙, 천연조골재, 고화재 및 폴리프로필렌섬유를 혼입한 에코콘크리트를 개발하여 그 물리역학적 특성을 구명한 것으로서, 이 연구를 통해 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 중량 감소율은 조골재와 고화재의 혼입량이 증가할수록 작게 나타났고, 고화재가 조골재보다 중량감소에 더 크게 영향을 미쳤으며, 재령 7일, 28일, 91일 다같이 흙 59.8%, 자갈 20%, 고화재 20%, 섬유 0.2% 배합에서 중량감소율이 가장 작게 나타났다. 2. 압축강도와 휨강도는 모든 배합에서 조골재, 고화재, 섬유의 혼입량이 증가할수록 증가하였으며, 고화재의 영향이 강도에 가장 크게 나타났다. 3. 재령 28일의 초음파진동속도는 2,319~3,527 m/s, 동탄성계수는 $203{\times}10^2{\sim}281{\times}10^2MPa$의 범위로 나타났으며, 골재와 고화재의 혼입량이 증가할수록 증가하였고, 압축강도와 휨강도의 결과와 유사한 경향을 나타내었으며, 고화재의 영향이 골재의 영향보다 더 크게 나타났다. 4. 투수계수는 골재와 고화재의 혼입량이 증가할수록 감소하였고, 섬유의 혼입량이 증가할수록 증가하였으며, SG10에서 $5.066{\times}10^{-9}cm/s$로 다른 에코콘크리트에 비해 투수계 수가 가장 작게 나타났다. 5. 자갈과 고화재 혼입량의 증가는 강도증진 효과를 얻을 수 있으나, 섬유는 배합시 뭉침현상으로 인하여 제성능을 저하시킬 수 있기때문에 현장배합시 세심한 주의가 요망된다. 따라서 SG10의 배합을 경작로 포장재료로 사용하면 주변환경과 조화를 이루는 환경친화형 경작로를 만들 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
