An important class of short-fiber reinforced composites is the sheet molding compound, which is recently developed and currently used in many engineering applications. Fatigue failure of the composites is a subject of major concern in design and cyclic crack propagation is of particular significance in the fatigue life prediction of short fiber composites. However, research on the fatigue behavior of polymer injection weld, especially short glass fiber-filled polymer injection weld, has not been carried out. In this study the analyses of the fatigue crack growth behaviors at weld line and in the bulk are performed based on low cycle fatigue test.

시설원예의 현대화에 따른 각종 피복자재의 도입ㆍ개발과 시설재배 면적의 급속한 증가로 인해 그에 따른 피복자재의 광환경 특성이 검토되지 않고 피복자재가 이용되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 연질필름중 가장 피복재배면적이 많은 PE(Polyethylene)필름과 경질판PC (Polycarbonate), PET (Poyethylene terephthalate), 유리 피복자재의 광환경 개선을 위한 기초 연구로 실시하였다. 1. 피복자재별 광투과율은 PE가 약 80%, 유리가 약 90%로, 유리 온실은 완공후 4년이하 경과했음에도 약 5개월 된 PE 보다 광투과율이 높았다. 2. 피복자재별 광반사율은 PE가 가장 높은 약 3% 였고 PC>PET>유리의 순으로 나타났다. 3. 피복자재별 광흡수율은 PE는 전파장에 걸쳐 고루 흡수되었으나 PC, PET는 자외선의 흡수가 많았다. 4. 피복자재별 토마토 군락내 광분포에서 제 1과방의 광량은 시설내 투과일사의 약 15%정도였다. 5. 피복자재별 토마토엽의 증산속도는 PE가 다소 낮았으나 처리간 큰 차이는 없었다. 6. 수경재배의 토마토의 광합성속도가 토경재배 보다 낮았다.

CD-R disc drive is one of the basic options of personal computer today. In this trend, various CD-R discs can be purchased in every market. Even very low quality discs are in market too. Today's CD-R disc drive is being operated over 10,000 RPM. So the possibility of the disc fracture is growing faster. Sometimes, during the test of a new disc drive by various methods to confirm the quality of it, fracture of the disc happens. And it happens in end user's personal computer scarcely. In this reason, new methods to confirm the quality and the failure mechanism of the optical disc are studied in this paper.

Xenoestrogens are chemicals with diverse structure that mimic estrogen. Bisphenol A, a monomer of polycarbonate and epoxy resins, has been detected in canned food and human saliva. Bisphenol A stimulate cell proliferation and induce expression of estrogen -response genes in vitro. The purpose of the this study was to evaluate cell proliferation of bisphenol A in the presence of a rat liver 59 mix contaning cytochrome P450 enzymes and Cu (II). The fragmentation of intact DNA, a parameter of apoptotic cell death, was evaluated quantitatively by diphenylamine reaction method. Bisphenol A induced apoptotic cell death in a dose-dependent manner The effect of radical scavenger on the apoptotic cell death induced bisphenol A was investigated. The DNA fragmentation induced by bisphenol A was significantly inhibited by addition of radical scavenger to the culture medium. This indicated that elevated oxidative stress caused by imbalance between the production and removal of free radicals occurred in cells. Taken together, these results suggest that free radical reacts with Cu (II) leading oxidative stress.

This study compared the radiation transmission and image quality of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), and carbon, which are common components of the compression plates currently used during breast imaging. In addition to measuring the transmitted dose and the intensity without the use of a compression paddle, the four different compression paddles were evaluated according to the material and thickness of each paddle. Radiation transmittance, maximum intensity, and plot profile type w ere all evaluated for each material, and for each factor evaluated the follow ing order w as noted, from best to w orst: carbon 4 mm, PMMA 3 mm, PMMA 4 mm, and PC 4 mm. It is necessary to study a variety of materials and thicknesses in order to find the optimal combination of material and thickness, because not only does the material have a large influence in reducing the radiation exposure during mammography, but the thickness of the compression plate also has a great influence.

Photoelasticity is widely and conveniently used methods for whole field stress analysis. In this paper, 8-step photoelastic phase shifting method was performed by using a multi-purpose polariscope to measure the fringe orders along a specified line on the specimen containing a square hole. The material of the specimen is made of Polycarbonate. The measurement results by 8-step phase shifting method were compared with the those calculated by ABAQUS.

Rotating annular disks are widely used in data storage devices such as CDs, DVDs(digital versatile disks), and HDs(hard disks). Higher data transfer rate in data storage disks could not be achieved by polycarbonate disks in the present market. The problem can be solved by applying the fiber-reinforce composite materials to the disks. In this paper, an application of composite materials to rotating disks is proposed to increase the critical speed. Dynamic equation is formulated in order to calculate the natural frequency and critical speed for rotating composite disks by the Galerkin method. The orthogonal functions are used in series solution. A companion paper(Part II) presents and discusses the numerical results of vibration analysis and critical speed for rotating polar orthotropic disk using the formulation and solution method given in this paper (Part I).

PC(polycarbonate), SAN(styren-acrylonitrile)공중합체, 그리고 충격 보강제를 근간 으로 하는 다성분계 고분자 블렌드에 대하여 고정된 사출조건에서 블렌드의 조성에 따른 weldline강도의 변화를 조사하였다. 블렌드의 전체적인 함량에 있어서 PC가 그함량이 높아 연속상이 되는 경우가 비교적 높은 weldline강도를 나타내지만 PC함량이 감소함에 따라서 급격한 저하가 발생하여 채-continuity의 성향이 강한 50%부근에서 최소 값을 보였다. PC 함량이 고정되었을 때에는 분산상의 점도가 증가할수록 weldline 강도가 향상되었는데 이는 weldline의 형성 시에 발생하는 분수형 흐름장에 의한 분산상의 배향이 억제되어 외부 응력 에 대하여 균일하게 대응할수 있는 형태학을 유지하는 효과로 설명된다. 충격보강제의 변경 과 상용화제의 적용으로부터 얻은 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 다성분계 고분자 블렌드의 weldline강도는 구성성분간의 상용성 뿐만 아니라 유변학적인 조건이 만족되어야 효과적으 로 향상될수 있다.

The ITO thin films were prepared by facing targets sputtering (FTS) system on polycarbonate (PC) substrate. The ITO thin films were deposited with a film thickness of 100 nm at room temperature. As a function of sputtering conditions, electrical and optical properties of prepared ITO thin films were measure. The electrical and optical characteristics of the ITO thin films were evaluted by Hall Effect Measurement (EGK) and UV/VIS spectrometer (HP), respectively. From the results, the ITO thin films was deposited with a resistivity $8{\times}10^{4}\;{\Omega}-cm$ and transmittance over 80 %.

Cooling characteristics of protruding heat sources in a parallel channel with or without baffles are studied experimentally, The test section consists of two channels formed by two covers and one board made of polycarbonate which has three uniform heat source blocks. Five different cooling methods are considered to find out the most efficient cooling method in a given geometry and heat sources. The velocity and temperature of cooling medium, the temperature of the block surface are measured. The results are compared to examine the cooling characteristics of the different cooling methods.
