  • 일본 연구에서는 열충격 시험을 통한 태양전지의 파괴모드에 따른 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. 시편은 Photovoltaic Module을 만들기 전 3 line Ribbon을 Tabbing한 단결정 Solar Cell을 제작하였다. 열충격 시험 Test 1의 온도조건은 저온 $-40^{\circ}C$, 고온 $85^{\circ}C$, Test 2는 저온 $-40^{\circ}C$, 고온 $120^{\circ}C$에서 Ramping Time을 포함하여 각각 15분씩, 총 30분을 1사이클로 500사이클을 각각의 조건으로 수행하였다. 열충격 시험 후 Test 1에서는 4.0%의 효율 감소율과 1.5%의 Fill Factor 감소율을 확인하였으며, Test 2에서는 24.5%의 효율 감소율과 11.8%의 Fill Factor 감소율을 확인하였다. EL(Electroluminescence)촬영 및 단면을 분석한 결과, Test 1과 Test 2 시편 모두 Cell 표면 및 내부에서의 Crack이 발견되었다. 하지만, Test 2의 시험이 Test 1보다 가혹한 온도조건의 시험으로 인해 Test 1에서 나타나지 않았던, Cell 파괴를 Test 2에서 확인하였다. 결국, Test 1에서 효율의 직접적인 감소 원인은 Cell 내부에서의 Crack이며, Test 2에서는 Cell 내부에서의 Crack 및 Cell 파괴로 인한 Cell 자체의 성능저하로 효율이 크게 감소한다는 것을 본 실험을 통하여 규명하였다.

  • In this paper, a nonlinear finite element analysis program NUCAS, which has been developed for assessment of ultimate pressure capacity and failure mode for nuclear containment building is described. Degenerated shell element with assumed strain method and low-order solid element with enhanced assumed strain method is adapted to microscopic material and elasto-plastic material model, respectively. Finally, the performance of the developed program is tested and demonstrated with several examples. From the numerical tests, the present results show a good agreement with experimental data or other numerical results.

  • The purpose of this paper is to study on the effect of cutting off tension bars in reinforced concrete beams. that is, the ultimate strength, the failure mode and thl} tension stress distribution through the span. To achieve this purpose, a full-scale frame and seven small scale model beams (five rectangular and two T-section beams) were tested. The four main model specimens and two speciml}ns without cutting off tension bars 1,'{ere analyzed as plane stmss element with package program ADINA. As a result of test and analysis, the shorter' distance bet ween the reaction point and the cutting off point, the higher the ultimate strength of a bl}am will be when other physical properties are equal.

  • This paper presents the results obtained using time-series-based methods for structural damage assessment. The methods are applied to a wind turbine blade structure subjected to fatigue loads. A 9 m CX-100 (carbon experimental 100 kW) blade is harmonically excited at its first natural frequency to introduce a failure mode. Consequently, a through-thickness fatigue crack is visually identified at 8.5 million cycles. The time domain data from the piezoelectric active-sensing techniques are measured during the fatigue loadings and used to detect incipient damage. The damage-sensitive features, such as the first four moments and a normality indicator, are extracted from the time domain data. Time series autoregressive models with exogenous inputs are also implemented. These features could efficiently detect a fatigue crack and are less sensitive to operational variations than the other methods.

  • A concept of Modular GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) deck panel was proposed for bridge decks. The modular GFRP bridge deck system is comprised of main unit module and connector unit module with GFRP flanges and web. Its structural performance under static loading was evaluated and compared with the LUSAS finite element predictions. It was found that the presented GFRP modular panel was very efficient for use in bridges. The failure mode of the proposed GFRP deck was similar when compared with that of commercial other GFRP decks developed.

  • Supercavitating vehicles which cruise under water undergo high longitudinal force caused by thrust and drag. These combination may cause structural buckling. Static and dynamic buckling analysis method by using FEM can be used to predict this structural failure behavior. In this paper, some principles which include method for solution eigenvalue problem for buckling analysis are introduced. And before buckling analysis, we predicted some mode shape and natural frequency of cylindrical shell by using DIAMOND/IPSAP eigen-solver.

  • 많은 6시그마 혁신을 하는 기업 중에서 ISO9000 시리즈나 ISO/TS16949 인증을 받고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 6시그마 도입 초기부터 ISO/TS16949와 통합운영을 생각하고 추진하는 곳은 많지 않다. ISO/TS16949에서는 기업전반의 프로세스에 많은 중점을 두고 있다. 그 중에서도 APQP(Advanced Product Quality Planning)은 제품 초기에서부터 명확한 품질계획 업무 프로세스를 가지고 활동을 하라는 필수 프로세스를 요구하고 있다. 그러나 구체적인 Flow나 단계는 각 기업체의 특성에 맞기고 있다. 6시그마의 Lean DFSS는 이러한 제품개발 프로세스의 구체적인 전계단계를 제공하고 있다 여기에 APQP에서 요건으로 명시한 각 프로세스 단계마다 Input요소, Output요소, Target, 그 프로세스를 책임질 구성원, 핵심성공요인, 핵심성공지수, 단계마다의 FMEA(Failure Mode Effect Analysis) 분석을 대응하면 도입 초기에서부터 상호 유기적이면서 효과적인 System이 된다.

  • Bonding of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites has become a popular technique for strengthening concrete structures in recent years. The bond stress between concrete and CFRP is the main factor determining the strength, rigidity, failure mode and behavior of a reinforced concrete member strengthened with CFRP. The accurate evaluation of the strain is required for analytical calculations and design processes. In this study, the strain between concrete and bonded CFRP sheets across the notch is tested. In this paper, indirect axial tension is applied to CFRP bonded test specimen by a four point bending tests. The variables studied in this research are CFRP sheet width, bond length and the concrete compression strength. Furthermore, the effect of a crack- modeled as a notch- on the strain distribution is studied. It is observed that the strain in the CFRP to concrete interface reaches its maximum values near the crack tips. It is also observed that extending the CFRP sheet more than to a certain length does not affect the strength and the strain distribution of the bonding. The stress distribution obtained from experiments are compared to Chen and Teng's (2001) analytical model.
