  • Slope draperies in soil and rock are a well known method to avoid rockfalls into the roads or onto housings. Common wire mesh or a combination of wire mesh and wire rope nets are pinned to the slope by the means of fully grouted nails or anchors. Most of these installations have not been designed to stabilize the slope, but simply avoid the rocks from bouncing. The combination of soil- or rocknailing with a designable flexible facing system offers the advantage of a longterm stabilization of slopes and can replace other standard methods for slope stabilization. The capability to transfer axial and shear loads from the flexible facing system to the anchor points is most decisive for the design of the stabilization system. But the transfer of forces by mesh as pure surface protection devices is limited on account of their tensile strength and above all also by the possible force transmission to the anchoring points. Strong wire rope nets increase the performance for slope stabilizations with greater distances between nails and anchors and are widely used in Europe. However, they are comparatively expensive in relation to the protected surface. Today, special processes enable the production of diagonally structured mesh from high-tensile steel wire. These mesh provide tensile strengths comparable to wire rope nets. The interaction of mesh and fastening to nail / anchor has been investigated in comprehensive laboratory tests. This also in an effort to find a suitable fastening plates which allows an optimal utilization of the strength of the mesh in tangential (slope-parallel) as well as in vertical direction (perpendicular to the slope). The trials also confirmed that these new mesh, in combination with suitable plates, enable substantial pretensioning of the system. Such pretensioning increases the efficiency of the protection system. This restricts deformations in the surface section of critical slopes which might otherwise cause slides and movements as a result of dilatation. Suitable dimensioning models permit to correctly dimension such systems. The new mesh with the adapted fastening elements have already been installed in first pilot projects in Switzerland and Germany and provide useful information on handling and effects.

  • A low-cost wireless sensor network (WSN) solution with highly expandable super and simple nodes was developed. The super node was designed as a sensing unit as well as a receiving terminal with low energy consumption. The simple node was designed to serve as a cheaper alternative for large-scale deployment. A 12-bit ADC inputs and DAC outputs were reserved for sensor boards to ease the sensing integration. Vibration and thermal field tests of the Chi-Lu Bridge were conducted to evaluate the WSN's performance. Integral acceleration, temperature and tilt sensing modules were constructed to simplify the task of long-term environmental monitoring on this bridge, while a star topology was used to avoid collisions and reduce power consumption. We showed that, given sufficient power and additional power amplifier, the WSN can successfully be active for more than 7 days and satisfy the half bridge 120-meter transmission requirement. The time and frequency responses of cables shocked by external force and temperature variations around cables in one day were recorded and analyzed. Finally, guidelines on power characterization of the WSN platform and selection of acceleration sensors for structural health monitoring applications were given.

  • Transparent conducting indium tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited onto the Polyethersulfone (PES) substrate by using a magnetron sputter type negative metal ion source. In order to investigate the influence of cesium (Cs) partial pressure during deposition and annealing temperature on the optoelectrical properties of ITO/PES film the films were deposited under different Cs partial pressures and post deposition annealed under different annealing temperature from $100^{\circ}C$ to $170^{\circ}C$ for 20 min at $3\;{\times}\;10^{-1}$ Pa. Optoeleetrical properties of ITO films deposited without intentional substrate heating was influenced strongly by the Cs partial pressure and the Cs partial pressure of $1.5\;{\times}\;10^{-3}$ Pa was characterized as an optimal Cs flow condition. By increasing post-deposition vacuum annealing temperature both optical transmission in visible light region and electrical conductivity of ITO films were increased. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) micrographs showed that the surface roughness also varied with post-deposition vacuum annealing temperature.

  • Recently, atomically smooth hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN) known as a white graphene has drawn great attention since the discovery of graphene. h-BN is a III-V compound and has a honeycomb structure very similar to graphene with smaller lattice mismatch. Because of strong covalent sp2bonds like graphene, h-BN provides a high thermal conductivity and mechanical strength as well as chemical stability of h-BN superior to graphene. While graphene has a high electrical conductivity, h-BN has a highly dielectric property as an insulator with optical band gap up to 6eV. Similar to the graphene, h-BN can be applied to a variety of field, such as gate dielectric layers/substrate, ultraviolet emitter, transparent membrane, and protective coatings. However, up until recently, obtaining and controlling good quality monolayer h-BN layers have been too difficult and challenging. In this work, we investigate the controlled synthesis of h-BN layers according to the growth condition, time, temperature, and gas partial pressure. h-BN is obtained by using chemical vapor deposition on Cu foil with ammonia borane (BH3NH3) as a source for h-BN. Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM, JEOL-JEM-ARM200F) is used for imaging and structural analysis of h-BN layer. Sample's surface morphology is characterized by Field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM, JEOL JSM-7100F). h-BN is analyzed by Raman spectroscopy (HORIBA, ARAMIS) and its topographic variations by Atomic force microscopy (AFM, Park Systems XE-100).

  • Brushless doubly-fed machine (BDFM) doesn't use brush and slip ring, and has advantages such as high system reliability, small capacity of its frequency converter, low system cost, adjustable power factor and speed, etc. At the same time, it has good applicable potentials on the variable frequency motors and the variable speed constant frequency generators. However, due to the complicacy and particularity of BDFM in the structure and operating mechanism, the effect of magnetic field modulation directly influences the operating efficiency of BDFM. To study the effect of different cage rotor structures on the magnetic field modulation of BDFM, the rotor magnetomotive force (MMF) of BDFM with cage rotor is studied by the analytical method. The components and features of rotor harmonic MMFs are discussed. At the same time, the method to weaken the higher harmonics is analyzed by the theoretic formulae. Furthermore, the magnetic field modulation mechanism is expounded on in detail and the relationship between the magnetic field modulation effect and the operating efficiency of BDFM is established. And then, a new method for estimating the magnetic field modulation effect is proposed. At last, the magnetic field modulation effects of four BDFM prototypes with different cage rotor structures are compared by the MMF analysis and the efficiency data of electromagnetic design. The results verify the effectiveness of the new method for estimating the magnetic field modulation effect of BDFM with cage rotor.

  • In this paper, an efficient training symbol design with m-sequence is proposed for the MIMO-OFDM based next generation wireless transmission system which supports gigabits per second data rate. In the traditional blute force method, the preamble design is based on the case by case comparison with the system requirements. This paper discusses a training symbol design methodology for the MIMO-OFDM system based on the m-sequence which has been widely used in the spread spectrum communication areas due to its good correlation characteristics. Also the step-by-step design and performance verification method within the limited search space is discussed. The proposed method targets the design of the training symbol which satisfies system requirements for the packet based MIMO-OFDM wireless communication system including automatic gain control(AGC), timing synchronization, frequency and sampling offset estimation, and MIMO channel estimation.

  • Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), which has been widely used in many industries, was developed in the 1950s to supplement shortcomings of the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). FCAW has an advantage in that it can weld regardless of postures and give good quality results in the filed with many different working conditions. In this study, SM490A (rolled steel for welding structural purpose) with different thicknesses (L:25T+R:30T) were welded using FCAW. Then the mechanical properties (tension test, bending test, hardness test, impact test and macro test) were analyzed and the following conclusions were drawn. In the tensile test, it exceeds the KS standard tensile strength range (400~510) in all welding positions, which means there is a problem in the tensile force transmission performance. In the bending test, it was found that most of the specimens did not exhibit surface rupture or other defects during bending test and they exhibit sufficient toughness even after plastic deformation. In the hardness test, all the results were lower than the standard value of 350 Hv of KS B 0893, which means they have good hardness. In the impact test, all results were larger than the KS reference value of 27J. In the macro test, they showed uniform structure state by the shape of the weld, and there was risk of lamination because no internal defects, bubbles, or impurities were found on the surface of the weld.

  • 최근에 에피 성장된 ZnO는 UV-LED, 화학적-바이오센서와 투명전도 전극에 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 고 품질의 ZnO는 Metal-organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD), Pulsed laser deposition(PLD), molecular beam epitaxy(MBE), 그리고 마그네트론 스퍼터링법에 의해 성장이 이루어지고 있다. 대부분의 ZnO는 사파이어, 싫리콘과 같은 이종 기판 위에 성장되고 있으며, Heteroepitaxy로 성장된 ZnO 박막은 기판과 박막사이의 격자상수, 열팽창계수 차이로 인해 높은 결함 밀도를 보이고 있다. 이러한 문제점은 광전자 소자 응용에 있어 여러 가지 문제점을 야기 시킨다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 박막과 기판사이에 저온 버퍼층을 사용하거나 같은 물질의 버퍼층을 사용하여 결할 밀도를 감소시키고, 높은 결정성을 가진 ZnO 박막을 성장시킨 결과들이 많이 보고되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 마그네트론 스퍼터링 법으로 저온 버퍼층 성장 없이 성장온도 만을 달리 하여 고품질의 ZnO 박막을 성장시켰다. ZnO 박막은 c-sapphire 기판위에 ZnO(99.9999%)의 타겟을 사용하여 $600{\sim}800^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 성장시켰고, 스퍼터링 가스로는 아르곤과 산소를 2:1 비율로 혼합하여 15mtorr의 압력에서 성장하였다. 이렇게 성장시킨 ZnO 박막은 Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), High-Resolution X-ray Diffraction (HRXRD), Low-temperature PL, 그리고 Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)로 특성을 분석 하였다. ZnO 박막은 HRXRD (002) 면의 $\omega$-rocking curve운석 결과, $0.083^{\circ}$의 작은 FEHM을 얻었고, (102) 면의 $\varphi$-sacn을 통해 온도가 증가함에 따라 향상된 6-fold을 확인함으로새 에피성장됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 TEM분석을 통해 $800^{\circ}C$에서 성장된 박막은 $6.7{\times}10^9/cm^2$의 전위밀도를 얻을 수 있었다.

  • [ $HfO_2$ ] dielectric layers were grown on the p-type Si(100) substrate by metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy(MOMBE). Hafnium $t-butoxide[Hf(O{\cdot}t-C_4H_9)_4]$ was used as a Hf precursor and Argon gas was used as a carrier gas. The thickness of the layers was measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron measurement(HR-TEM). The properties of the $HfO_2$ layers were evaluated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), high frequency capacitance-voltage measurement(HF C-V), current-voltage measurement(I-V), and atomic force measurement(AFM). HF C-V measurements have shown that $HfO_2$ layer grown by MOMBE has a high dielectric constant(k=19-21). The properties of $HfO_2$ films are affected by various process variables such as substrate temperature, bubbler temperature, Ar, and $O_2$ gas flows. In this paper, we examined the relationship between the $O_2/Ar$ gas ratio and the electrical properties of $HfO_2$.
