As a part of the electromagnetic spectrum, microwaves heat materials fast and efficiently via direct energy transfer, while conventional heating methods rely on conduction and convection. To date, the use of microwave heating in the research of carbon-based materials has been mainly limited to liquid solutions. However, more rapid and efficient heating is possible in electron-rich solid materials, because the target materials absorb the energy of microwaves effectively and exclusively. Carbon-based solid materials are suitable for microwave-heating due to the delocalized pi electrons from sp2-hybridized carbon networks. In this perspective review, research on the microwave heating of carbon-based solid materials is extensively investigated. This review includes basic theories of microwave heating, and applications in carbon nanotubes, graphite and other carbon-based materials. Finally, priority issues are discussed for the advanced use of microwave heating, which have been poorly understood so far: heating mechanism, temperature control, and penetration depth.

Frequency domain measurement of propagation loss for ultra high frequency (UHF) partial discharge in the winding of power transformer using a spectrum analyzer and pulse generator is presented. We compared the performance of the method using a network analyzer with and without a winding. Using a network analyzer simplifies the measurement and offers better dynamic range and frequency range. It also provides precise propagation loss within the winding in frequency domain at UHF range. We applied this method to measure UHF propagation loss of transformer mock-up, modeled 154 kV 20 MVA power in KEPCO substation.

New high-performance Ka-band waveguide-to-microstrip transitions for millimeter-wave transceiver applications have been developed and characterized. These transitions are probe-type, but the dielectric material completely covers the whole waveguide aperture, thus providing moisture-barrier and robustness in the probe section. The new probe transitions are also designed to be less sensitive to fabrication tolerances. Further performance enhancements have been obtained by placing vias around the waveguide aperture. Also, the resonance phenomena associated with waveguide wall-penetration have been identified. The developed probe transitions provide insertion loss less than 0.4 dB over entire Ka-band frequencies, but can be optimized for narrowband applications with insertion loss less than 0.2 dB.

Electronic products are a major part of evolving industry and human life style; however most of them are known to emit electromagnetic waves that have severe health hazards. Therefore, different materials and fabrication techniques are understudy to control or limit transfer of such waves to human body. In this study, nanocomposite powder is dispersed into epoxy resin and shielding effects such as absorption, reflection, penetration and multiple reflections are investigated. In addition, nano size powder (Ni, $Fe_2O_3$, Fe-85Ni, C-Ni) is fabricated by pulsed wire evaporation method and dispersed manually into epoxy. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy are used to investigate the phase analysis, size and shape as well as dispersion trend of a nano powder on epoxy matrix. Shielding effect is measured by standard test method to investigate the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of planar materials, ASTM D4935. At lower frequency, sample consisting nano-powder of Fe-85%Wt Ni shows better electromagnetic shielding effect compared to only epoxy, only Ni, $Fe_2O_3$ and C-Ni samples.

In this paper, the effect of high voltage current pulse against shaped charge jet was analyzed through the visualization of jet behavior using flash X-ray and comparison of depth of penetration(DOP) into RHA(Rolled Homogeneous Armor) witness plates. The behavior of jet particles has been acquired using a flash X-ray equipment when current pulse was applied into the metal jet of a shaped charge(SC) warhead. Typical results such as jet breakup and radial jet dispersion, which are due to electromagnetic pressure by current pulse, have been obtained. Dozens of penetration experiments using a shaped charge with 55 mm diameter were performed according to various combinations of major parametric variables such as electrode spacing, standoff distance from SC warhead to electrode, and charge voltage. Subsequently, interrelations between major parametric variables and DOPs into RHA were analyzed.

지반 굴착에 따른 주변 지반의 침하 문제를 예측하고 평가하기 위해서는 지반침하 위험인자의 정확한 조사와 해석이 필요하다. 지반침하 위험인자를 조사하기 위한 비파괴조사방법에는 여러 가지 물리탐사방법이 있다. 하지만 이러한 물리탐사 방법에는 지하매질 특성에 영향을 미치는 요인들이 있으며, 실제 지반의 토질은 물리탐사에 영향을 주는 복잡한 요소들이 내포하고 있다. 따라서 흙의 공학적 성질에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 한 물리탐사 방법에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 접근이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 실제 복합지반에서 다양하고 복잡한 요소들을 고려할 수 있도록 Test Bed를 구축하고, 수치해석을 통해 지반거동을 분석하였다. 또한, 지표투과레이더(GPR) 탐사를 통해 지반침하 위험인자 조사를 위한 한계성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 개착식 굴착공사에 있어서 지반침하는 여러 가지 요인에 따라 발생 할 수 있으며, 특히 연약지반 조건일 경우에는 지하수위 흐름 변화에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 GPR의 중심주파수 250MHz인 경우, 전기전도도가 높은 점토 지반에서는 전자기파의 감쇠가 심하게 일어나서 땅속 깊은 곳(지표아래 4m)까지의 투과를 어렵게 만들며, 지하수위 아래에서는 지하수면을 전자기파가 통과함에 따라, 전자기파의 감쇠가 심하게 일어나는 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 다층 지하 구조물로의 고고도 전자기파(high altitude electromagnetic pulse: HEMP)의 커플링 현상을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여, 고고도 전자기파에 대한 모델링을 통하여, 고고도 전자기파의 스펙트럼이 100 MHz 이상의 대역에서 -30 dB 이하로 급격히 감소함을 확인하였다. 또한, 고고도 전자기파의 커플링 영역인 다층 지하 구조물은 지구의 표면과 내부를 구성하는 5층 구조물로 가정하여, 본 구조물을 구성하는 물질의 전파 상수(propagation constant)를 바탕으로 투과 현상을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 50 kV/m의 평면파를 입사시켰을 때, 지상에서 100 m 깊이에 위치한 지하 터널에서 0.1 MHz와 1 MHz의 평면파에 대하여 각각 약 10 kV/m와 5 kV/m의 투과 현상이 발생함을 확인하였다. 투과된 전기장의 효과적인 차폐 효과 확보를 위하여 토양층의 감쇠 상수(attenuation constant)를 이용한 자연 차폐 방법과 금속 격자 구조물의 필터링(filtering) 현상을 이용한 차폐 방법을 통하여 각각 최대 20 dB와 90 dB의 차폐 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 분석하였다.

Recently, many implantable medical devices have been developed and manufactured in many countries. In these devices, generally, energy is supplied by a transcutaneous method to avoid the skin penetration due to the power wires. As the most transcutaneous power transmission methods, the electromagnetic coupling between two coils and resonance at a specific frequency has been used widely. However, in case of a transcutaneous power transmitter with a fixed switching frequency to drive an electromagnetic coil, inefficient power transmission and thermal damage by the undesirable current variation may occur, because the electromagnetic coupling state between a primary coil and a secondary coil is very sensitive to skin thickness of each applied position and by person. In order to overcome these defects, a transcutaneous power transmitter of which operating frequency can be automatically tracked into the resonance frequency at each environment has been designed and implemented. Through the results of experiments for different coil surroundings, we have been demonstrated that the implemented transcutaneous power transmitter can track automatically into a varied resonance frequency according to arbitrary skin thickness change.

This study is to investigate the dispersion characteristics of diesel fuel spray in the initial stage of the beginning of the injection under the condition of room temperature and atmospheric pressure. It is difficult to analyse that the diesel fuel spray in diesel engine has unsteady intermittent spray. So author installed a fuel accumulator and an electromagnetic controller in order to keep the constant fuel injection rate with the time variation. With this modified fuel injection system, spray tip penetration, spray angle and initial spray development process are investigated by instantaneous photographic method. The results obtained in this study are as follows : 1) The initial shape of injection of diesel fuel spray shows the form of non-disintegrated intact core, but the formation of ligaments increasingly grows as the time increases. It can also be shown that fine droplets become disintegrated out from the ligaments. 2) The slope of spray tip penetration was changed to two different tendencies with time. The transition point of the slope is shown at the time of around between 0.09 msec and 0.4 msec from the beginning of injection. This is transition time from non-disintegrated intact core to formation of ligaments.

Three-dimensional transient simulation of laser-GMA hybrid welding involving multiple physical phenomena is conducted neglecting the interaction effect of laser and arc heat sources. To reproduce the bubble and pore formations in welding process, a new bubble model is suggested and added to the established laser and arc welding models comprehending VOF, Gaussian laser and arc heat source, recoil pressure, arc pressure, electromagnetic force, surface tension, multiple reflection and Fresnel reflection models. Based on the models mentioned above, simulations of laser-GMA hybrid butt welding are carried out and besides the molten pool flow, top and back bead formations could be observed. In addition, the laser induced keyhole formation and bubble generation duo to keyhole collapse are investigated. The bubbles are ejected from the molten pool through its top and bottom regions. However, some of those are entrapped by solid-liquid interface and remained as pores. Those bubbles and pores are intensively generated when the absorption of laser power is largely reduced and consequently the full penetration changes to the partial penetration.
