This paper presents theoretical and experimental evaluation of the structural health monitoring (SHM) capability of piezoelectric wafer active sensors (PWAS) at elevated temperatures. This is important because the technologies for structural sensing and monitoring need to account for the thermal effect and compensate for it. Permanently installed PWAS transducers have been One of the extensively employed sensor technologies for in-situ continuous SHM. In this paper, the electro-mechanical impedance spectroscopy (EMIS) method has been utilized as a dynamic descriptor of PWAS behavior and as a high frequency standing wave local modal technique. Another SHM technology utilizes PWAS as far-field transient transducers to excite and detect guided waves propagating through the structure. This paper first presents how the EMIS method is used to qualify and quantify circular PWAS resonators in an increasing temperature environment up to 230 deg C. The piezoelectric material degradation with temperature was investigated and trends of variation with temperature were deduced from experimental measurements. These effects were introduced in a wave propagation simulation software called Wave Form Revealer (WFR). The thermal effects on the substrate material were also considered. Thus, the changes in the propagating guided wave signal at various temperatures could be simulated. The paper ends with summary and conclusions followed by suggestions for further work.

In present study, we have deposited the Zinc coating using arc thermal spray and plasma arc spray processes onto the steel substrate and durability of the deposited coating was evaluated. The bond adhesion result shows that plasma arc sprayed Zn coating exhibited higher in its value compared to arc thermal spray. SEM shows that Zn coating deposited by plasma arc process is more compact, less porous and adherent compare to arc spray process. The corrosion resistance properties are evaluated in artificial ocean water solution with exposure periods. EIS results show that total impedance at 0.01 Hz of plasma arc sprayed coating is higher than arc thermal spray owing to the compact and less porous morphology. It is concluded that plasma arc sprayed Zn coating is better than arc thermal spray process.

This paper presents the design method of a temperature stable stepped-impedance resonator using composite material. In this method temperature coefficient of dielectric constant $(\tau\varepsilon)$ and thermal expansion coefficient $(\alpha1)$ of dielectric material were considered. Ba(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 and CaZrO3 as composite material having opposite signs of temperature coefficient of dielectric constant were selected. The length of this resonator for the temperature stability of resonance frequency was calculated at 900MHz, 1.4㎓ and 1.9㎓. It was found that the ratio of the length of positive $\tau\varepsilon$ materal to the length of negative $\tau\varepsilon$ material is constant at various resonance frequencies.

본 연구에서는 해수용 열교환기 적용을 위한 열분사 코팅의 침지부식 특성 및 열확산율을 조사하기 위해 실험이 수행되었다. 코팅은 아연과 알루미늄을 열분사 코팅한 뒤 실리콘 및 에폭시 수지를 추가 도포한 총 8개의 시편이며 이를 $70^{\circ}C$ 3.5%w NaCl 수용액에 2주간 침지하여 침지 전후의 부식특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 코팅의 부식특성 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 AC 임피던스 측정, SEM 촬영 등을 진행하였으며 레이저 확산법을 이용하여 침지 전후의 열확산율을 측정 및 비교하였다. 침지실험 결과로부터 실리콘 및 에폭시가 추가된 코팅 시편은 표면에 블리스터가 생성되지 않았으며 이에 실러 추가 코팅에 따른 내부식성 향상효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

본 연구에서는 리튬이차전지용 상용 분리막에 전자선을 조사하여 가교구조를 지닌 내열성이 향상된 분리막을 제조하였고 조사선량에 의한 열적, 기계적 특성들을 평가하였다. 전자선 조사된 분리막의 열수축률은 조사선량이 증가할수록 감소하였고 AC impedance를 이용한 shutdown거동 연구 결과 전자선 조사를 하지 않은 분리막보다 우수한 shutdown 특성을 갖는 것으로 확인하였다. 또한, 전자선 조사선량이 증가할수록 분리막의 모듈러스는 향상되는 반면 인장강도와 파단 연신율은 감소됨이 관찰되었다.

As demand for electricity in urban areas increases, it is necessary to improve electric power stability by interconnecting neighboring substations and high temperature superconductor (HTS) power cables are considered as a promising option due to its large power capacity. However, the interconnection of substations reduces grid impedance and expected fault current is over 45 kA, which exceeds the capacity of a circuit breaker in Korean grid. To reduce the fault current below 45 kA, a HTS power cable having a fault current limiting (FCL) function is considered by as a feasible solution for the interconnection of substations. In this study, a FCL HTS power cable of 600 MVA/154 kV, transmission level class, is considered to reduce the fault current from 63 kA to less than 45 kA by generating an impedance over 1 Ωwhen the fault current is induced. For the thermal design of FCL HTS power cable, a parametric study is conducted to meet a required temperature limit and impedance by modifying the cable core from usual HTS power cables which are designed to bypass the fault current through cable former. The analysis results give a minimum cable length and an area of stainless steel former to suppress the temperature of cable below a design limit.

Effect of inherent volatile matters in fuels on electrochemical reactions of anode was investigated for a single direct carbon fuel cell (DCFC). Raw coals used as power source in the DCFC release light gases into the atmosphere under the operating temperature of DCFC ($700^{\circ}C$) by thermal decomposition and only char remained. These exhausted gases change the gas composition around anode and affect the electrochemical oxidation reaction of system. To investigate the effect of produced gases, comparative study was conducted between Indonesian sub-bituminous coal and its char obtained through thermal treatment, carbonizing. Maximum power density of raw coal ($52mW/cm^2$) was appeared higher than that of char ($37mW/cm^2$) because the gases produced from the raw coal during thermal decomposition gave additional positive results to electrochemical reaction of the system. The produced gases from coals were analyzed using TGA and FT-IR. The influence of volatile matters on anodic electrolyteelectrode interface was observed by the equivalent circuit induced from fitting of impedance spectroscopy data.

Generally when Power MOSFET is operated, a heat sink is attached to it to emit heat caused by the operation. As the surface area of a heat sink is smaller, the thermal impedance is larger, which causes a negative influence on the characteristics of the chips and the devices and shortens the lifespan of them. In this experiment, we've compared and analysed different effects of heat sinks with 5 different surface areas on the characteristics of Thermal Transient when they are applied respectively.
