Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites have drawn increasing attentions worldwide for decades due to its outstanding properties. Stress concentration factor (SCF) as an essential parameter in materials science are critically considered in structure design and application, strength assessment and failure prediction. However, investigation of stress concentration in FRP composites has been rarely reported so far. In this study, three resource-conserving analyses (Isotropic analysis, Orthotropic analysis and Finite element analysis) were introduced to plot the $K_T^A-d/W$ curve for E-glass/epoxy composite plate with the geometrical defect of circular hole placed centrally. The plates were loaded to uniaxial direction for simplification. Finite element analysis (FEA) was carried out via ACP (ANSYS composite prepost module). Based on the least squares method, a simple expression of fitting equation could be given based on the simulated results of a set of discrete points. Finally, all three achievable solutions were presented graphically for explicit comparison. In addition, the investigation into customized efficient SCFs has also been carried out for further reference.

In a structure, many components are fastened together using bolts, nuts and rivets through drilled holes. Not only do these fastened joints enable easy assembly and dismantling, they are also able to transfer as well as to distribute loads applied onto the structures. The major drawback of such connections, however, is that the fatigue life of the components is reduced by the presence of the hole since the stress concentration around the hole is increased. In addition, the hole drilling process itself may introduce defects or roughness at the surfaces of the hole that may cause further decrease in fatigue performance of the components. For applications where fatigue loadings are important, one way to compensate the decrease in fatigue life of the components is by introduction of beneficial compressive residual stress around the hole using cold working. The material used for this research were A12024-T351 and A17050-T7451 using the primary member of aircraft. We present, In this paper, the characteristics of coldworking by evaluation of the hole expansion ratio, residual stress distribution, and fatigue properties.

The plastic culture bottle cap types and accumulated concentration of carbon dioxide, media humidity in the process of medium culture, chitin content and yield were observed in Pleurotus ostreatus 850ml bottle in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do, Korea, during 2011. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the process of medium culture was the highest after 8~9 days cultivation irrespective of cap sizes and types. The accumulated concentration of carbon dioxide in size cap of 29~41mm was 6.5~4.0% in the upper-under perforation hole of cap and 9.0~6.5% in the under perforation hole of cap. The upper-under 23~33mm perforation hole and under 29mm perforation hole of caps in the 850ml bottle were best condition for cultivation of mushroom and increased fruit body, 15.8~21.2% and 20%, respectively. However, the upper-under & under 41mm perforation hole of fruit body were decreased 60.7% and 23.6%, respectively. Also it was weak, lose vitality and the lower of biologically activity substance because the upper medium humidity was too dry.

GaN 기반 Light emitting diodes(LEDs)의 p-type doping layer는 일반적으로 hole을 발생시키는 acceptor로 Mg이 사용하되고 있다. 보통 Mg이 도핑된 p-type GaN은 >$1\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$의 저항이 존재하는데 그 이유는 Mg의 열적 이온화를 위한 activation 에너지가 높아서 상온에서 valence band의 hole concentration는 전체 억셉터 농도의 1%가 되지 않기 ��문이다. 본 논문에서는 높은 hole 농도를 얻기 위해서 metalorganic chemical-vapor deposition (MOCVD)를 장비를 사용하여 사파이어 기판의 misorientation-angle에 따른 p-type a-plane(11-20) GaN 특성을 분석하였다. misorientation-angle은 c축 방향으로 $+0.15^{\circ}$, $-0.15^{\circ}$, $-0.2^{\circ}$, $-0.4^{\circ}$ off된 r-plane(1-102) 사파이어 기판 을 사용하였다. p-type 도핑물질로 bis-magnesium (Cp2Mg) 소스를 사용하였고 성장 과정중 발생하는 hydrogen passivation으로 인한 Mg-H complexes현상을 해결하기위해 conventional furnace annealing (CFA)와 rapid thermal annealing (RTA)를 이용하여 열처리 공정을 진행하였다. 열처리 공정은 Air와 N2 분위기에서 $650^{\circ}C$에서 $900^{\circ}C$ 사이의 다양한 온도에서 수행하였고 Hall 측정을 위해 Ni을 전극 물질로 사용하였다. 상온에서 Accent HL5500IU Hall system을 사용하여 hole concentration, mobility, specific resistance을 측정하였다. 열처리 공정 후 Hall측정 결과 $+0.15^{\circ}$, $-0.15^{\circ}$, $-0.2^{\circ}$, $-0.4^{\circ}$ off된 각 샘플들은 온도, 시간, 분위기에 따라 hole concentration ($7.4{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}{\sim}6{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$), mobility(${\mu}h=\;1.72\;cm^2/V-s\;{\sim}15.2\;cm^2/V-s$), specific resistance(4.971 ohm-cm ~8.924 ohm-cm) 가 변화됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 광학적 특성을 분석하기 위해 Photoluminescence (PL)을 측정하였다.

This paper presents theoretical solutions for the three-dimensional (3D) stress field in an infinite isotropic elastic plate containing a through-the-thickness circular hole subjected to far-field in-plane loads by using Kane and Mindlin's assumption. The dangerous position, where the premature fracture or failure of the plate will take place, the expressions of the tangential stress at the surface of the hole and the out-of-plane stress constraint factor are found in a concise, explicit form. Based on the present theoretical solutions, a comprehensive analysis is performed on the deviated degree of the in-plane stresses from the related plane stress solutions, stress concentration and out-of-plane constraint, and the emphasis has been placed on the effects of the plate thickness, Poisson's ratio and the far-field in-plane loads on the stress field. The analytical solution shows that the effects of the plate thickness and Poisson's ratio on the deviation of the 3D in-plane stress components is obvious and could not be ignored, although their effects on distributions of the in-plane stress components are slight, and that the effect of the far-field in-plane loads is just on the contrary of that of the above two. When only the shear stress is loaded at far field, the stress concentration factor reach its peak value about 8.9% higher than that of the plane stress solutions, and the out-of-plane stress constraint factor can reach 1 at the surface of the hole and is the biggest among all cases considered.

The mechanical jointing method is very important in the machine parts and structure. They are used by the bolts and rivet because it is very convenient to replace the parts and the structure. However, the mechanical jointing methods using the bolt and rivet needed the open hole. The machine parts life cycle is reduced because this open hole created the stress concentration. Therefore, the measurement methods are needed to evaluate phenomenon of the stress concentration. This paper discusses the development of the measurement algorithm using the digital image correlation methods to measure the strain distribution of the open hole. To implement the measurement algorithm using the DIC, the LabVIEW 2010 programming tool was used. To measure the strain distribution of the open hole, the tensile specimens having an open hole are made by using the aluminum 6061-T6. To secure the reliability of measurement result using the DIC, the DIC measurement results and FEM analysis results were compared.

During the blasting process, a fracture zone is formed in the vicinity of the blast hole. Any damage that extends beyond the excavation boundary line necessitates the implementation of an additional support system to assure safety. Typically, fracture zone radius is estimated from blast hole pressure using theoretical methods due to its simplicity. However, linear charge concentration (kg/m) is used for tunnel blasting. This paper compiles Swedish experimental datasets to estimate the radius of fracture zones based on linear charge concentration. Further numerical analyses are performed in LS-DYNA for coupled single-hole blasting. The Riedel-Hiermaier-Thoma (RHT) model has been selected as the constitutive model for this investigation. The numerical model is validated against small-scale laboratory tests. Parametric studies are conducted to predict fracture zones in granite and sandstone rocks using two kinds of explosives, PETN and AFNO. The analyses evaluate ten types of blast hole sizes, ranging from 17 to 100 mm. The results indicate that granite has a larger fracture zone than sandstone, and the PETN explosive predicts more damage than ANFO. Smaller blast holes exhibit smaller fracture zones in comparison to larger blast holes. Wave propagation is more rapidly attenuated in granite than in sandstone. Subsequently, the predicted fracture zone outcomes are compared with the empirical dataset. Fracture zones of medium blast hole diameter align well with the experimental data set. A predictive equation is derived from the data set, which may be used to evaluate blast design to manage fracture zones beyond the excavation line.

Stresses were calculated for finite-width orthotropic laminates with a circular hole and remote uniaxial loading using a two-dimensional finite-element analysis with both uniform stress and uniform displacement boundary conditions. Five different laminates were analyzed: quasi-isotropic [0.deg./.+-.45.deg./90.deg.].$\_$s/, 0.deg., 90.deg., [0.deg./90.deg.]$\_$s/, and [.+-.45.deg.]$\_$s/, Computed results are presented for selected combinations of hole diameter-sheet-width ratio d/w and length-to width ratio L/w. For small L/w values, the stress-concentration factors K$\_$tn/ were significantly different for the uniform stress and uniform displacement boundary conditions. Typically, for the uniform stress conditions, the K$\_$tn/ values were much larger than for the infinite-strip reference conditions; however, for the uniform displacement conditon, they were only slighty smaller than for this reference. The results for long strips are also presented as width-correction factor. For d/w.leg.33, these width-correction factors are nearly equal for all five laminates.

The p-type GaN which act as a hole injection layer in GaN-based LEDs has fundamental problems. The first one arises from the difficulty in growing a highly doped p-GaN (with a carrier concentration exceeding ~1018 $cm^{-3}$). And the second one is the absence of appropriate metals or conducting oxides having a work function that is larger than that of p-type GaN (7.5 eV). Moreover, the LED efficiency is decreases gradually as the injection current increases (the so-called 'efficiency droop' phenomenon). The efficiency droop phenomenon in InGaN quantum wells (QWs) has been a large obstacle that has hindered high-efficiency operation at high current density. In this study, we introduce the new approaches to improve the light-output power of LEDs by using graphene oxide sheets. Graphene oxide has many functional groups such as the oxygen epoxide, the hydroxyl, and the carboxyl groups. Due to nature of such functional groups, graphene oxide possess a lot of hole carriers. If graphene oxide combine with LED top surface, graphene oxide may supply hole carriers to p-type GaN layer which has relatively low free carrier concentration less than electron concentration in n-type GaN layer. To prove the enhancement factor of graphene oxide coated LEDs, we have investigated electrical and optical properties by using ultra-violet photo-excited spectroscopy, confocal scanning electroluminescence microscopy.
