Plate and shell structure is widely applied in engineering, i.e. building roofs, aircraft wings, ship platforms, and satellite solar arrays. Its vibration problem has become increasingly prominent due to the tendency of lightening, upsizing and flexibility. As a new smart material with great actuating force and toughness, macro-fiber composite (MFC) is composed of piezoelectric fiber and epoxy resin basal body, which can be directly pasted onto the surface of plate and shell and is suitable for vibration control. This paper deduces the actuation equation of MFC coupled plate in different boundary conditions, an equivalent finite element modeling method is proposed which uses MFC actuating force as the applied excitation, and on this basis the active control simulation and experiment of MFC over plate and shell structure vibration are accomplished. The results indicate that MFC is able to implement effective control over plate and shell structure vibration in multi-band range. The comparison between experiment and simulation proves that the actuation equation deduced herein, effective and practicable, can be applied into the simulation calculation of MFC vibration control over plate and shell structure.

전자 산업의 발전과 함께 휴대폰, 노트북, PDA등과 같은 휴대 정보 전자 기기의 고성능 에너지 공급원으로서 이차전지 산업의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라 리튬이차전지의 핵심부품인 양극재료의 고성능화 및 안전성 확보에 대해 많은 관심이 증대되고 있다. 현재 사용되고 있는 양극재료에는 $LiCoO_2,\;LiMn_2O_4,\;LiNi_xCo_yMn_zO_2,\;LiNi_xCo_yM_zO_2$ (M=Al, Zr, Mg 등) 등이 있으며, 그중 가장 대표적으로 사용되고 있는 물질은 $LiCoO_2$이다. 그러나 $LiCoO_2$가 가지고 있는 용량적 한계 및 안전성 문제로 인하여 $LiCoO_2$의 성능 개선 및 3성분계, 올리빈계와 같은 대체물질의 개발에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행중이다. 특히 산화물($M_xO_3$)을 이용한 활물질 표면처리와 같은 성능개선 및 안전성 확보연구는 국내 및 국외에서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $LiCoO_2$의 표면처리 과정에서 불균일 코팅된 산화물의 탈리 및 이의 응집에 의한 침전물 생성 및 표면처리량의 증가에 따른 전지에서의 부작용에 대하여 분석하고, 이와 같은 문제점을 개선하기 위해 코팅량 조정 및 표면처리 공정의 혼합, 건조, 소성 조건 등과 같은 신공정에 대한 연구와 전기화학적 특성 고찰을 실시하였다.

Bolted joint connection is the most commonly used connection element in structures and devices. The loosening due to external dynamic loads cannot be observed and measured easily and may cause catastrophic loss especially in an extreme requirement and/or environment. In this paper, an innovative Real-time Cross-Correlation Method (RCCM) for monitoring of the bolted joint loosening was proposed. We apply time reversal process on stress wave propagation to obtain correlation signal. The correlation signal's peak amplitude represents the cross-correlation between the loosening state and the baseline working state; therefore, it can detect the state of loosening. Since the bolt states are uncorrelated with noise, the peak amplitude will not be affected by noise and disturbance while it increases SNR level and increases the measured signals' reliability. The correlation process is carried out online through physical wave propagation without any other post offline complicated analyses and calculations. We implemented the proposed RCCM on a single bolt/nut joint experimental device to quantitatively detect the loosening states successfully. After that we implemented the proposed method on a real large structure (reaction wall) with multiple bolted joint connections. Loosening indexes were built for both experiments to indicate the loosening states. Finally, we demonstrated the proposed method's great anti-noise and/or disturbance ability. In the instrumentation, we simply mounted Lead Zirconium Titanate (PZT) patches on the device/structure surface without any modifications of the bolted connection. The low-cost PZTs used as actuators and sensors for active sensing are easily extended to a sensing network for large scale bolted joint network monitoring.

We investigated the carbon monoxide (CO) gas-sensing properties of nanostructured Al-doped zinc oxide thin films deposited on self-assembled Au nanodots (ZnO/Au thin films). The Al-doped ZnO thin film was deposited onto the structure by rf sputtering, resulting in a gas-sensing element comprising a ZnO-based active layer with an embedded Pt/Ti electrode covered by the self-assembled Au nanodots. Prior to the growth of the active ZnO layer, the Au nanodots were formed via annealing a thin Au layer with a thickness of 2 nm at a moderate temperature of $500^{\circ}C$. It was found that the ZnO/Au nanostructured thin film gas sensors showed a high maximum sensitivity to CO gas at $250^{\circ}C$ and a low CO detection limit of 5 ppm in dry air. Furthermore, the ZnO/Au thin film CO gas sensors exhibited fast response and recovery behaviors. The observed excellent CO gas-sensing properties of the nanostructured ZnO/Au thin films can be ascribed to the Au nanodots, acting as both a nucleation layer for the formation of the ZnO nanostructure and a catalyst in the CO surface reaction. These results suggest that the ZnO thin films deposited on self-assembled Au nanodots are promising for practical high-performance CO gas sensors.

현재까지 전기비저항 탐사자료의 해석은 대부분 지하구조가 1차원 또는 2차원으로 가정하는데 근간을 두고 있다. 그러나, 국내와 같이 지질구조가 복잡하며 지형의 기복이 심한 경우, 이와 같은 가정을 사용은 전기비저항 탐사자료의 해석에 오류를 야기할 가능성이 높다. 본 연구에서는 3차원적으로 복잡하게 변화하는 지하구조 및 지형의 기복에 의한 지형효과를 정확히 계산할 수 있는 유한요소법에 의한 3차원 전기비저항 모델링 알고리듬을 근간으로 하는 역산 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 이 알고리듬은 ACB(Active Constraint Balancing)법을 채용함으로써 역산의 분해능 향상을 기하였다. 간단한 3차원 지하구조 및 지형기복에 대한 수치모형 실험결과 지표의 불규칙한 기복을 포함하여 역산을 수행함으로써 정확한 지하구조 영상을 획득할 수 있음을 보였으며, 국내의 교량건설 예정부지에서 수행된 격자망을 이룬 전기비저항 탐사자료에 대한 3차원 역산 결과 매우 신뢰도 높은 지하구조에 대한 영상을 도출할 수 있었다.

The phase change memory material is an active element in phase change memory and exhibits reversible phase transition behavior by thermal energy input. The doping of the phase change memory material with Ga leads to the increase of its crystallization temperature and the improvement of its amorphous stability. In this study, we investigated the effect of GaGe sputtering power on the formation of the phase change memory material including Ga. The deposition rate linearly increased to a maximum of 127 nm and the surface roughness remained uniform as the GaGe sputtering power increased in the range from 0 to 75 W. The Ga concentration in the thin film material abruptly increased at the critical sputtering power of 60 W. This influence of GaGe sputtering power was confirmed to result from a combined sputtering-evaporation process of Ga occurring due to the low melting point of Ga ($29.77^{\circ}C$).

Non-destructive testing methods of composite materials are very important for improving material reliability and safety. AE measurement is based on the detection of microscopic surface movements from stress waves in a material during the fracture process. The examination of AE is a useful tool for the sensitive detection and location of active damage in polymer and composite materials. FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors have attracted much interest owing to the important advantages of optical fiber sensing. Compared to conventional electronic sensors, fiber-optical sensors are known for their high resolution and high accuracy. Furthermore, they offer important advantages such as immunity to electromagnetic interference, and electrically passive operation. In this paper, the crack detection capability of AE (Acoustic Emission) measurement was compared with that of an FBG sensor under tensile testing and buckling test of composite materials. The AE signals of the PVDF sensor were measured and an AE signal analyzer, which had a low pass filter and a resonance filter, was designed and fabricated. Also, the wavelength variation of the FBG sensor was measured and its strain was calculated. Calculated strains were compared with those determined by finite element analysis.

The finite element model was used to simulate the temperature distribution of a arrayed vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). In this work, the dimension of AlGaAs/GaAs based VCSEL array was $50{\mu}m$ active diameter and $250{\mu}m$ pitch, and AuSn solder of 80wt%Au-20wt%Sn was included to flip-chip bond. The results of the thermal simulation will be applied to predict the thermal cross-talk in high speed parallel optical interconnects.

The conduction-cooled HTS SMES magnet is operated in cryogenic temperature. The insulation design at cryogenic temperature is an important element that should be established to accomplish miniaturization that is a big advantage of HTS SMES. However, the behaviors of insulators for cryogenic conditions in air or vacuum are virtually unknown. Therefore, we need active research and development of insulation concerning application of the conduction-cooled HTS SMES. Specially, this paper was studied about high vacuum and cryogenic temperature breakdown and flashover discharge characteristics between cryocooler and magnet-coil. The breakdown and surface flashover discharge characteristics were experimented at cryogenic temperature and vacuum. Also, we were experimented about mechanical properties of 4-point bending test. From the results, we confirmed that about research between cryocooler and magnet-coil established basic data in the insulation design.

Integrating micro-machined sensors and actuators on the conventional devices with the copper power lines was incompatible to fabricate the mass produced micro electromechanical system (MEMS) devices. To achieve the compatibility of the wiring method between MEMS parts and devices, we developed the three-dimensional sputter-evaporation system that coats micropatterned thin copper films on the surface of the MEMS element. The system consists of a process chamber, two branch chambers, the substrate holder, and a linear-rotary motion feedthrough. Thin copper film was sputtered and evaporated on the biocompatible polymer, Pellethane$^{circed{R}}$ and silicone, catheter that is 2 mm in diameter and 700 mm in length. The metal film coating technique with three-dimensional thin film sputter-evaporation system was developed to apply the power and signal lines on the micro active endoscope. In this paper, we developed the three-dimensional metal film sputter-evaporation system operated on the low temperature for the biopolymeric substrates used in the medical MEMS devices.
