Since epoxy resin coating shows excellent properties in formability, adhesion, and corrosion resistance, they have been extensively used in many industries. However, various types of damages in the epoxy coated tube within a relative short time have been reported due to cavitation erosion, liquid impingement, variation of temperature and pressure. Nevertheless, there has been little research on the effect of temperature on the cavitation degradation of epoxy coatings. Therefore, this work used an ultrasonic cavitation tester to focus on the effect of solution temperature on the cavitation properties of 3 kinds of epoxy coatings in 3.5% NaCl. The cavitation properties were discussed basis on the material properties and environmental aspects. As the solution temperature increased, even though with large fluctuation, the cavitation degradation rates of A and B coatings were reduced rapidly, but the rate of C coating was decreased gradually. In addition to the cushioning effect, the reason that the cavitation degradation rate reduced with solution temperature was partly related to the brittle fracture and water absorptivity of the epoxy coatings, and the water density, but was little related to the shape and composition of the compound in the coatings or the phase transition of the epoxy coating.

본 연구에서는 회전식 절삭시험기를 활용하여 TBE (Tunnel Boring Extender)의 굴착효율을 평가하였다. 회전식절삭시험에서 TBE에 의한 굴착과정을 모사하기 위하여 중앙부가 선행 굴착되어 있는 중공형의 암석모사시험체를 모르타르를 이용하여 제작하였다. 회전식 절삭시험기에 설치된 언더커팅 디스크(undercutting disc cutter, UDC)를 이용하여 나선궤적을 따라 암석을 절삭함으로써 TBE에 의한 굴착과정을 모사하였으며, 언더커팅 디스크의 절삭조건을 변화시켜가며 절삭조건들이 커터작용력 및 비에너지에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 시험결과로부터 UDC의 커터작용력은 반경압입깊이와 수직압입깊이가 증가함에 따라 선형적으로 증가하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었으며, 세 방향의 작용력 중 수직력의 비중이 매우 크게 나타났다. 반면 비에너지는 반경방향과 수직방향 압입깊이에 따라 지속적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었고, 특히 두 압입깊이의 비에 따라 비에너지가 최소화되는 지점이 나타날 것으로 판단되었다.

풍력 터빈 시스템의 성능에서 블레이드는 매우 중요한 역할을 하지만 복잡하고 불규칙적인 하중에 의한 손상에 취약하며 유지 보수 비용도 많이 든다. 따라서 블레이드 제조를 완료한 후에 결함을 찾아내고 일정 기간 사용한 후에 블레이드 손상을 찾아내는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 풍력 터빈 블레이드의 주재료인 유리섬유와 탄소섬유 패널에서 내부 결함을 검출할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 블레이드 제조 또는 작동 중에 발생할 수 있는 복합재료의 섬유 파단을 모사하기 위해 적층된 재료의 중간층에 직경 5 mm의 홀을 가공한 후에, 비접촉 측정 기술인 이미지 상관법(digital image correlation, DIC)을 사용하여 내부 결함을 검출하였다. 인장시험기를 사용하여 가공된 시편에 인장 하중을 가하면서 이미지 상관법 시스템으로 변화되는 시편의 이미지를 저장하고 분석하였다. 유리섬유 복합재료 시편에서는 인장 하중 방향으로 5%의 변형률부터 내부 결함이 검출되었으며 탄소섬유의 경우에는 1%의 변형률부터 내부 결함이 검출되었다. 재료 특성에 따라 내부 결함 주변에 일정 수준의 변형률 차이가 발생함에 따라 결함이 검출됨을 이미지 상관법 시스템으로 증명하였다.

Reinforced and prestressed concrete (RC and PC) thin walls are crucial to the safety and serviceability of structures subjected to shear. The shear strengths of elements in walls depend strongly on the softening of concrete struts in the principal compression direction due to the principal tension in the perpendicular direction. The past three decades have seen a rapid development of knowledge in shear of reinforced concrete structures. Various rational models have been proposed that are based on the smeared-crack concept and can satisfy Navier's three principles of mechanics of materials (i.e., stress equilibrium, strain compatibility and constitutive laws). The Cyclic Softened Membrane Model (CSMM) is one such rational model developed at the University of Houston, which is being efficiently used to predict the behavior of RC/PC structures critical in shear. CSMM for RC has already been implemented into finite element framework of OpenSees (Fenves 2005) to come up with a finite element program called Simulation of Reinforced Concrete Structures (SRCS) (Zhong 2005, Mo et al. 2008). CSMM for PC is being currently implemented into SRCS to make the program applicable to reinforced as well as prestressed concrete. The generalized program is called Simulation of Concrete Structures (SCS). In this paper, the CSMM for RC/PC in material scale is first introduced. Basically, the constitutive relationships of the materials, including uniaxial constitutive relationship of concrete, uniaxial constitutive relationships of reinforcements embedded in concrete and constitutive relationship of concrete in shear, are determined by testing RC/PC full-scale panels in a Universal Panel Tester available at the University of Houston. The formulation in element scale is then derived, including equilibrium and compatibility equations, relationship between biaxial strains and uniaxial strains, material stiffness matrix and RC plane stress element. Finally the formulated results with RC/PC plane stress elements are implemented in structure scale into a finite element program based on the framework of OpenSees to predict the structural behavior of RC/PC thin-walled structures subjected to earthquake-type loading. The accuracy of the multiscale modeling technique is validated by comparing the simulated responses of RC shear walls subjected to reversed cyclic loading and shake table excitations with test data. The response of a post tensioned precast column under reversed cyclic loads has also been simulated to check the accuracy of SCS which is currently under development. This multiscale modeling technique greatly improves the simulation capability of RC thin-walled structures available to researchers and engineers.

An adequate and homogeneous cure of light-activated restroative material is very important for improvement of marginal adaptation and prevention of marginal leakage, secondary caries and pulpal irritation as well as expressing natural physical property of that material. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change of surface hardness and cure uniformity of light-activated glass ionomer cements. Restorative(Fuji II LC, Vitremer) and lining(Baseline VLC, Vitrebond) light-activated glass ionomer cements were investigated for this study. The surface hardness of the top and bottom surfaces and cure uniformity of each 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm & 3mm in the thickness of specimen were measured immediately, at 1 hour, 24 hours and 1 week after light activation. The surface hardness change and cure uniformity of all the specimens were measured by Knoop hardness tester. The results were as follows. 1. The surface hardness of top and bottom surfaces in all groups increased with time(p<0.01). 2. Both top and bottom surfaces hardness of Vitrebond group measured immediately after light-activation were significantly lower than those of the other groups(p<0.01). 3. The surface hardness of top and bottom surfaces of restorative light -activated glass ionomer cements was higher than those of lining materials at 1 week(p<0.10). 4. Surface hardness of Vitremer group decreased as the specimen thickness increased, except top and bottom surfaces hardness of the specimen at 1 week(p<0.01). There was no significant difference in the surface hardness of Fuji II LC with changes in the thickness except bottom surface hardness of specimen at 24 hours and 1 week (p>0.05). 5. Surface hardness of Vitrebond group significantly decreased as the specimen thickness increased(p<0.01). There was no significant difference in the surface hardness of Baseline VLC group with changes in the thickness except bottom surface hardness of specimen measured immediately after light -activation(p>0.05). 6. The hardness ratio of top against bottom surface in all groups decreased with time(p<0.05). 7. There was no significant difference in the hardness ratio of top against bottom surface with changes of the thickness except Vitrebond group, 24 hours and 1 week of Vitremer group and 1 week of Baseline VLC group (p>0.05). These results suggest that surface hardness of restorative ligh-activated glass ionomer cements were highter than those of lining light-activated materials. In all groups, the surface hardness and cure uniformity continuously increased with time.

To overcome problems of conventional glass ionomers, resin components have been added to glass ionomers. On a continuum between glass ionomers and composites are a variety of blends, employing different proportions of acid-base and free radical reactions to bring about cure. Popular groups defined between the ends are resin-modified glass-ionomers(RMGIs), polyacid-modified composite resins(Compomers) and ionomer modified resins. These groups show different clinical properties, and in selecting these materials for a restoration, one should sufficiently understand these different setting properties. In this study, some difference in the setting characteristics of different groups of hybrid ionomers were examined. Two RMGIs (Fuji2 LC,GC / Vitremer, 3M), three Compomers (Dyract AP, Dentsply / F2000, 3M / Elan, Kerr) were involved in this study. The identification of the setting characteristics of different groups was achieved by a two-stage study. First, thermal analysis was performed by a differential scanning calorimeter, and then the hardness of each group at different depth and time were measured by a micro-hardness tester. Thermal analysis was performed to identify the inorganic filler content and to record the heat change during setting process. The setting process was progressed for each material by chemical set mode and light-cured mode. In the hardness test, samples of materials were prepared with a 6mm-diameter metal ring, and the hardness was measured at the top, and 1mm, 2.5mm, 4mm below at just after a 40 second-cure, and after 10 minutes, 24 hours, and 7 days. Statistical analysis was performed by Mann-Whitney rank sum test to assess significant differences between set modes and types of materials, and by ANOVA and T-test to evaluate the statistical meanings of data at different times and depths of each materials. Followings are findings and conclusions derived from this study. Thermal analysis; 1. Compomers show no evidence of chemical setting while RMGIs exhibit heat output during the process of chemical setting. 2. Heat of cure of RMGIs exceed Compomers. 3. The net heat output of RMGIs through light-cured mode is higher than through chemically set mode. Hardness test; 1. Initial hardness of RMGIs immediately after light cure is relatively low, but the hardness increases as time goes by. On the contrary, Comomers do not show evident increase of the hardness following time. 2. Compomers show a marked decrease of setting degree as the depth of the material increases. In RMGIs, the setting degree at different depths does not significantly differ.

Currently, the demand for green technologies toward a sustainable future is rapidly increasing due to growing concern over environmental issues. Methanol is biodegradable and can provide clean combustion to reduce sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions, and therefore it is a candidate fuel for marine engines. However, the effect of methanol on tribological characteristic degradation should be addressed for methanol-fueled engines. In this study, the methanol addition effects on tribological characteristic degradation is experimentally assessed using a pin-on-disk tribo-tester. Ni-based alloy is used as a target material due to its broad applicability as an engine component material. For a lubricant, engine oil with and without methanol are used. The tests are conducted for up to 10,000 cycles under boundary lubrication while the change in friction force is monitored. Additionally, the wear rate is determined based on laser scanning confocal microscope data. An additional test in which methanol is added at regular intervals is performed with an aim to directly observe its effect on friction. Overall, the friction coefficient increases slightly with increasing methanol concentration. Furthermore, the wear rate of the pin and disk increase significantly with methanol addition. The results also indicate that the friction increases instantaneously with methanol addition at the contacting interface. These findings may be useful for better understanding the methanol effect on the tribological characteristics of Ni-based alloys for methanol-fueled engines with improved performance.

HRXRD 결과 60 nm 와 20 nm a-Si:H 기판 위에 생성된 니켈실리사이드는 열처리온도에 따라서 동일한 상변화를 보였다. FE-SEM과 TEM 관찰결과, 60 nm a-Si:H 기판 위에 생성된 니켈실리사이드는 저온에서 고저항의 미반응 실리콘이 잔류하고 60 nm 두께의 니켈실리사이드를 가지는 미세구조를 보였다. 20 nm a-Si:H 기판위에 형성되는 니켈실리사이드는 20 nm 두께의 균일한 결정질 실리사이드가 생성됨을 확인하였다. SPM 결과 모든 시편은 열처리온도가 증가하면서 RMS값이 증가하였고 특히 20 nm a-Si:H 기판 위에 생성된 니켈실리사이드는 $300^{\circ}C$에서 0.75 nm의 가장 낮은 RMS 값을 보였다.

Statement of problem : IPS Empress2 system was developed and used in prosthodontic treatment, but the cost of ingot is expensive for wide application. Purpose : This study was to investigate the possibility on recycling of IPS Empress 2 ceramic for wide application of IPS Empress 2 ceramic in prosthodontic treatment. Material and Method : 1st, 2nd and 3rd pressed disc-shaped($10{\times}1.5mm$) IPS Empress 2 specimens were made with IPS Empress ingot(200, Ivoclar, Liechtenstein) and pressing furnace(IPS Empress EP 500, Ivoclar, Liechtenstein). Vicker's surface hardness and fracture toughness, acid resistance, and pressing accuracy of IPS Empress 2 ceramic were measured and analyzed. Surface hardness was measured by microhardness tester(MTX 70. Matsuzawa, Japan), before and after surface treatment with 0.5% hydrofluoric acid and carbonic acid(Coca cola) for evaluation of acid resistance. Results : The surface hardness of 1st pressed specimen was the higher(5.11 GPa) than those of 2nd pressed(4.89 GPa) and 3rd pressed specimen(4.86 GPa), and the fracture toughness of 1st pressed ($1.58MPam^{1/2}$) and 2nd pressed specimen($1.51MPam^{1/2}$) were higher than that of 3rd pressed specimen($1.39MPam^{1/2}$). The changes of surface hardness of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd pressed specimens after treatment with fluoric acid were 0.17, 0.06, 0.05 (GPa) respectively, and those of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd pressed specimens after treatment with carbonic acid were 0.07, 0.00, 0.05(MPa) respectively. The pressing accuracy of 1st,2nd and 3rd specimen were 77.22%, 85.681%, and 75.05%. The pressing accuracy of 2nd pressed specimen was higher than that of the 3rd specimen. Conclusion : The changes of physical properties according to recycling of IPS Empress 2 from this study were insignificant. Therefore the possibility of recycling of IPS Empress 2 can be suggested from the results.
