본 연구에서는 에폭시 복합재료의 기계적 물성을 향상시킴과 동시에 상대적 단점으로 지적될 수 있는 열안정성과 치수 안정성의 문제를 개선하고자 에폭시 복합재료를 다중벽 탄소나노튜브와 마이크로미터 크기의 실리카 입자로 강화하였다. 두 충전제는 별도의 개질 없이 전단혼합과 초음파기기만을 이용하는 물리적 방법으로 에폭시 수지 내에 분산시켰다. 두 충전제 함량에 따른 시편의 특성은 인장강도, 열팽창계수, 열전도도 측정을 통해 평가하였으며, 시편의 열 안정성을 보다 넓은 범위에서 고찰하기 위해 열팽창계수를 측정한 결과와 미시역학 모델을 이용해 계산한 결과를 비교하였다. 탄소나노튜브 함량 0.6 wt%에 실리카 함량 50 wt%로 강화된 하이브리드 복합재료 시편의 인장강도는 에폭시 복합재료 시편 대비 약 11%의 증가를 보여 가장 좋은 기계적 물성을 나타내었다. 열적 물성을 살펴보면 두 충전제의 함량에 따라 그 결과가 달라지는데, 특히 에폭시 수지 내에 실리카 함량이 증가할수록 열팽창계수는 약 36%까지 감소하였고, 이로 인해 시편의 열 변형이 줄어들면서 열 안정성도 개선되었다. 또한 실리카 함량 50 wt%로 강화된 에폭시 복합재료 시편의 열전도도는 약 72% 정도 증가하였다. 두 충전제로 강화된 하이브리드 복합재료 시편에서는 보다 향상된 기계적, 열적 물성을 확보할 수 있었다.

Thermal barrier coating (TBC) is used to protect substrates and extend the operating life of gas turbines in power plant and aeronautical applications. The major causes of failure of such coatings is spallation, which results from thermal stress due to a thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between the top coating and the bond coating layers. In this paper, the effects of the material properties and the thickness of the top coating layer on thermal stresses were evaluated using the finite element method and the equation for the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch stress. In addition, we investigated a design technique for the top coating whereby thermal resistance is exploited.

Fatigue behavior and life prediction method were presented for themal-mechanical and isothermal low cycle fatigue of 12 Cr forged steel used for high temperature applications. In-phase and out-of-phase thermal-mechanical fatigue test from 350 .deg. C to 600 .deg. C and isothermal low cycle fatigue test at 600 .deg. C, 475 .deg. C, 350 .deg. C were conducted using smooth cylindrical hollow specimen under strain-control with total strain ranges from 0.006 to 0.015. The phase difference between temperature and strain in thermal-mechanical fatigue resulted in significantly shorter fatigue life for out-of-phase than for in-phase. Thermal-mechanical fatigue life predication was made by partitioning the strain ranges of the hysteresis loops and the results of isothermal low cycle fatigue tests which were performed under the combination of slow and fast strain rates. Predicted fatigue lives for out-of-phase using the strain range partitioning method showed an excellent agreement with the actual out-of-phase thermal-mechanical fatigue lives within a factor of 1.5. Conventional strain range partitioning method exhibited a poor accuracy in the prediction of in-phase range partitioning method in a conservative way. By the way life prediction of thermal-mechanical fatigue by Taira's equivalent temperature method and spanning fartor method showed good agreement within out-of-phase thermal-mechanical fatigue.

Non-destructive test techniques are becoming increasingly important for assessment and maintenance. These techniques are very useful for assessment of materials such as wood, whose performance can vary considerably depending on the conditions of use. It is possible to estimate some mechanical properties of a material by determining the movement of energy through the material with the help of these techniques. In this study, it was investigated whether the wood material could be tested nondestructively by the heat energy produced by a source. The correlations between the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and sessile oak (Quercus petraea L.) woods were investigated. The thermal conductivity (TC), density, modulus of rupture (MOR), compression strength (CS), and modulus of elasticity (MOE) values of samples were measured according to the related standards and these values were correlated with each other. The linear and multiple regression tests were employed to determine the correlation between thermal conductivity and mechanical properties. The results showed that there is a very strong correlation between thermal conductivity and both density and MOR values. However, the correlations between TC and both MOE and CS were moderate. The results of this study suggest that the thermal conductivity value can be used to estimate the density and some mechanical properties of wood.

In this research work, nonlinear thermal buckling behavior of functionally graded (FG) plates is explored based a new higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT). The present model has just four unknowns, by using a new supposition of the displacement field which enforces undetermined integral variables. A shear correction factor is, thus, not necessary. A power law distribution is employed to express the disparity of volume fraction of material distributions. Three kinds of thermal loading, namely, uniform, linear, and nonlinear and temperature rises over z-axis direction are examined. The non-linear governing equations are resolved for plates subjected to simply supported boundary conditions at the edges. The results are approved with those existing in the literature. Impacts of various parameters such as aspect and thickness ratios, gradient index, type of thermal load rising, on the non-dimensional thermal buckling load are all examined.

With the development of technology in the electrical and electronic field, research on heat dissipation materials that can efficiently emit and control heat to solve the heat generation problem is being actively conducted. Since heat dissipation materials require electrical insulation and thermal conductivity, the polymer composite material was manufactured by mixing chemically stable silicone resins and ceramic fillers, and thermal conductivity and mechanical properties were observed. At the same filling amount, the larger the particle size and the higher the high thermal conductivity filler was added, the higher the thermal conductivity was, mechanical properties were confirmed to have higher tensile strength and elongation as the particles were smaller and the tissue was denser. After selecting materials in consideration of thermal conductivity and mechanical properties, an appropriate mixing ratio is considered important.

The creep and consolidation behaviors of clays subjected to thermal cycles are of fundamental importance in the application of energy geostructures. This study aims to numerically investigate the physical mechanisms for the temperature-triggered volume change of saturated clays. A recently developed thermodynamic framework is used to derive the thermo-mechanical constitutive model for clays. Based on the model, a fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) finite element (FE) code is developed. Comparison with experimental observations shows that the proposed FE code can well reproduce the irreversible thermal contraction of normally consolidated and lightly overconsolidated clays, as well as the thermal expansion of heavily overconsolidated clays under drained heating. Simulations reveal that excess pore pressure may accumulate in clay samples under triaxial drained conditions due to low permeability and high heating rate, resulting in thermally induced primary consolidation. Results show that four major mechanisms contribute to the thermal volume change of clays: (i) the principle of thermal expansion, (ii) the decrease of effective stress due to the accumulation of excess pore pressure, (iii) the thermal creep, and (iv) the thermally induced primary consolidation. The former two mechanisms mainly contribute to the thermal expansion of heavily overconsolidated clays, whereas the latter two contribute to the noticeable thermal contraction of normally consolidated and lightly overconsolidated clays. Consideration of the four physical mechanisms is important for the settlement prediction of energy geostructures, especially in soft soils.

Epoxy resins are widely used in various industrial fields. However, they suffer from brittleness, an issue that must be addressed for further applications. To solve this problem, additional fillers are needed to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of the resins; zirconia is one such filler. However, it has been reported that aggregation may occur in the epoxy composites as the amount of zirconia increases, preventing enhancement of the mechanical strength of the epoxy composites. Herein, to reduce the aggregation, zirconia was well dispersed on halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), which have high thermal and mechanical strength, by a conventional wet impregnation method using zirconyl chloride octahydrate as a precursor. The mechanical and thermal strengths of the epoxy composites with The zirconia impregnated HNTs (Zr/HNT) were investigated. Zr/HNT were characterized by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmittance electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The thermal strength of the epoxy composites was studied by thermomechanical analysis (TMA) and the mechanical strength of the epoxy composites (flexural strength) was studied by using a universal testing machine (UTM). The mechanical and thermal strengths of the epoxy complex with Zr/HNT were improved compared to those of the epoxy complex with HNT, and also increased as the content of Zr/HNT increased.

The development of a new material which should be continuously usable under severe environment of very high temperature has been urgently requested. The conventional thermal barrier coating(TBC) is a two layer coating, but a composition and a microstructure of functionally graded material(FGM) are varied continuously from place to place in ways designed to provide it with the maximum function of mitigating the induced thermal stress. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the heat-resistant characteristics by thermal shock of laser and furnace heating. The fracture behaviors of non-FGM(NFGM) and FGM were investigated based on acoustic emission(AE) technique during thermal shock test. Therefore, it can be concluded that FGM gives higher thermal resistance compared to NFGM by AE signal and fracture surface analysis.

압출성형공정에서 주로 자가발열로 전환되는 것으로 알려진 모터에너지를 자가발열 에너지와 기계에너지로 구분하였다. 온도 상승에 의한 에너지를 열에너지로 간주하였고, 모터에너지에서 자가발열로 전환된 에너지를 감한 나머지 에너지를 기계에너지로 정의하여, 일정한 배럴온도를 조건으로 할 때 열에너지 및 상대기계에너지(최저 스크류회전속도에서의 기계에너지를 0으로 기준하여 계산된 값)를 정량화할 수 있는 방법을 완성하였다. 콘그리트(corn grit)를 수분함량 $27{\sim}36%$의 범위에서 압출성형하였을 때, 스크류회전속도가 증가할수록 상대기계에너지는 크게 변화하였고, 열에너지는 거의 비슷하게 유지되었다. 수분함량이 높아질수록 상대기계에너지는 크게 증가하였고, 열에너지는 약간 증가하였다. 이로부터 수분함량이 높아질수록 모터에너지로부터 자가발열보다는 상대기계에너지의 작용이 커짐을 알 수 있었다.
