The behavior of moment resistant steel structures depends on both the beam-column connections and columns foundations connections. Obviously, if the connections can meet the adequate ductility and resistance against lateral loads, the seismic capacity of these structures will be linked practically to the performance of these connections. The shape memory alloys (SMAs) have been most recently used as a means of energy dissipation in buildings. The main approach adopted by researchers in the use of such alloys is firstly bracing, and secondly connecting the beams to columns. Additionally, the behavior of these alloys is modeled in software applications rarely involving equivalent torsional springs and column-foundation connections. This paper attempts to introduce the shape memory alloys and their applications in steel structural connections, proposing a new steel column-foundation connection, not merely a theoretical model but practically a realistic and applicable model in structures. Moreover, it entails the same functionality as macro modeling software based on real behavior, which can use different materials to establish a connection between the columns and foundations. In this paper, the suggested steel column-foundation connection was introduced. Moreover, exploring the seismic dynamic behavior under cyclic loading protocols and the famous earthquake records with different materials such as steel and interconnection equipment by superelastic shape memory alloys have been investigated. Then, the results were compared to demonstrate that such connections are ideal against the seismic behavior and energy dissipation.

Metallurgical studies on the bonded interlayer of directionally solidified Ni-base superalloy GTD111 joints were carried out during transient liquid phase bonding. The formation mechanism of solid during solidification process was also investigated. Microstructures at the bonded interlayer of joints were characterized with bonding temperature. In the bonding process held at 1403K, liquid insert metal was eliminated by well known mechanism of isothermal solidification process and formation of the solid from the liquid at the bonded interlayer were achieved by epitaxial growth. In addition, grain boundary formed at bonded interlayer is consistent with those of base metal. However, in the bonding process held at 1453K, extensive formation of the liquid phase was found to have taken place along dendrite boundaries and grain boundaries adjacent to bonded interlayer. Liquid phases were also observed at grain boundaries far from the bonding interface. This phenomenon results in liquation of grain boundaries. With prolonged holding, liquid phases decreased gradually and changed to isolated granules, but did not disappeared after holding for 7.2ks at 1473K. This isothermal solidification occurs by diffusion of Ti to be result in liquation. In addition, grain boundaries formed at bonded interlayer were corresponded with those of base metal. In the GTD-ll1 alloy, bonding mechanism differs with bonding temperature.

Four microalloyed steels containing B were investigated in terms of hardenability, mechanical properties and microstructure depending upon the cooling rates in order to develop the steel grade for the cold forged fasners. The alloy with the largest DI value among 4 alloys, which contains $0.12\%\;C,\;1.54\%\;Mn,\;0.65\%\;Cr,\;0.11\%V,\;0.040\%Ti\;and\;0.0033\%B$, showed the larest shift to the right hand side in the TTT diagram, implying the wide allowable cooling rate range subsequent to hot rolling in long bar processing, Mechanical tests indicated that yield strength are dependent upon the DI value in water quenched specimens but other properties showed almost the same values. In the same grade of steel, the increase in cooling rates causes the decrease in elongation but the increase in strength, reduction of area and Charpy impact values. Microstructural examination in steel grade with the larest DI values revealed martensitic structure In the water quenched state, a mixture of martensite and bainite in the oil quenched, and ferrite + pearlite in the air cooled and the forced air cooled but the latter showed finer microstructure.

Stainless steel is used commonly in nuclear applications for shielding radiation, so in this study, three different types of new stainless steel samples were designed and developed. New stainless steel compound ratios were determined by using Monte Carlo Simulation program Geant 4 code. In the sample production, iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), silicium (Si), sulphur (S), carbon (C), molybdenum (Mo), manganese (Mn), wolfram (W), rhenium (Re), titanium (Ti) and vanadium (V), powder materials were used with powder metallurgy method. Total macroscopic cross sections, mean free path and transmission number were calculated for the fast neutron radiation shielding by using (Geant 4) code. In addition to neutron shielding, the gamma absorption parameters such as mass attenuation coefficients (MACs) and half value layer (HVL) were calculated using Win-XCOM software. Sulfuric acid abrasion and compressive strength tests were carried out and all samples showed good resistance to acid wear and pressure force. The neutron equivalent dose was measured using an average 4.5 MeV energy fast neutron source. Results were compared to 316LN type stainless steel, which commonly used in shielding radiation. New stainless steel samples were found to absorb neutron better than 316LN stainless steel at both low and high temperatures.

The cathodic hydrogen evolution ability of different pure metals and their long term galvanic corrosion behavior with pure Mg were investigated. The hydrogen evolution ability of pure Ti, Al, Sn and Zr is weak, while that of Fe, W, Cr, and Co is very strong. Initial polarization test could not completely reveal the cathodic behavior of the tested metals during long term corrosion. The cathodic hydrogen evolution ability may vary significantly in the long term galvanic tests for different metals, especially for Al whose cathodic current density reduced to 1/50 of the initial value. The anodic polarization shows that Al and Sn as alloying elements are supposed to provide relatively good passive effect for Mg alloy, while Ag can provide a slight passive effect and Zn has little passive effect.

In this paper, mechanical behaviors of developed pedicle screw system, made of bio-mechanical materials(Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 5), ale predicted using FEM analysis. As a first step, morphologic construction of normal Korean spines and surgical operation convenience are considered to design optimum pedicle screw system. In this step, various design variables are considered as design parameters to develop optimized models. As a next step, tension and bending tests are performed to improve the structural performance of the developed system using finite element method. In this step, required Static compression and bending test specifications by ASTM F-04 25 04 01 are applied to understand the bio-mechanical behaviors of the designed spinal implant system under various load types. As the results of this research, it is possible to develop efficient pedicle screw system, having enough rigidity and fixation to stand any spinal damage under allowable stress conditions.

박막형 태양전지 및 플렉서블 태양전지 기판으로 사용되는 금속기판의 우수성은 잘 알려져 있다. 그러나 상용 금속기판이 직면하고 있는 문제점을 보완하기 위해서 전주법으로 제조된 2원합금 금속포일을 개발하였으며, 박막형 및 플렉서블 태양전지의 기판재로 적용가능성을 확인하였다. 일반적으로 태양전지를 제조할 때 열 공정이 수행되며, 이때 기판재와 cell을 구성하는 반도체의 열팽창 계수 차이에 의한 열변형으로 결함이 발생될 수 있고, 태양전지 효율 및 수명을 저하시키는 원인이 될 수 있다. 이러한 원인이 될 수 있는 구성 재료간의 열팽창계수 차이에 의한 cell 의 변형량을 추정하기 위해 유한요소해석 방법을 사용하였다. 유한요소해석을 수행하기 위해 ALGOR 라는 해석 tool 을 사용하였다. 유한요소해석 수행에 사용된 상용 금속인 Mo, Ti, Al, SUS 포일과 전주법으로 제조된 2원합금 금속포일의 열팽창 계수는 실험을 통한 측정치이며, cell을 구성하는 반도체의 열팽창 계수와 열특성은 참고 문헌에 있는 자료들이다. 이 값들을 기반으로 cell 의 구성을 단순화시킨 가상의 태양전지가 제조 공정 온도에서 상온으로 냉각될 때의 열변형량을 계산하였다.

X-ray diffraction observation of fracture surfaces yields useful information to analyze the causes of failure accidents of engineering structures. This experimental technique, named X-ray fractography, has been developed especially in metal and mechanical engineering fields. The distributions of the residual stress and the half value breadth of diffraction profiles beneath the fatigue fracture surface were measured with SNCM 439, HT100 and Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The size of the maximum plastic zone was successfully determined on the basis of the measured distributions. This size was correlated to maximum stress intensity factor. The distributions of the half value breadth of diffraction profiles on the fatigue fracture surfaces were measured with SNCM 439. HT100. The equations of x-ray parameter distribution were possible to estimated fracture parameters of fatigue fracture surfaces.

TFT-LCD 제조공정의 발전에 따라, 박막층(a-Si, SiNx, gate 전극, ITO 등)에 대한 습식공정을 대치하는 건식식각이 선호되고 있다. scan signal의 전파지연시간을 단축시키는 장점을 갖는 Al gate 전극의 건식식각의 경우, 높은 식각속도와 slope angle의 조절, 그리고 식각균일도가 요구된다. 이러한 Al gate 전극물질로는 Al에 Ti이나 Nd와 같은 금속을 첨가하여 post annealing 동안에 발생하는 hillock을 방지하고 더불어 낮은 resistivity(<10$\mu$$\Omega$cm)와 열과 부식에 대한 높은 저항성을 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 Al-Nd alloy 박막은 식각속도와 photoresist에 대한 식각선택도가 낮아 문제로 지적되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 고밀도 플라즈마원의 일종인 자화된 고밀도 유도결합형 플라즈마를 이용하여 식각가스 조합, inductive power, bias voltage 그리고 공정압력 등의 다양한 공정변수에 따른 Al-Nd film의 기본적인 식각특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 식각시 chloring gas를 주요 식각가스로 사용하고 BCl, HBr 등을 10mTorr의 일정한 압력을 유지하는 조건하에서 첨가하였으며 inductive power는 5100W~800W, bias voltage는 -50V~-200V까지 변화를 주었다. 식각공정의 전후를 통하여 Al-Nd 박막표면의 조성변화를 관찰하기 위하여 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)를 이용하였으며 공정변수에 따른 식각후 profile 관찰은 scanning electron microscopy(SEM)을 통하여 관찰하였다. Al-Nd 식각속도는 100% Cl2 플라즈마에 비해 BCl3의 양이 증가할수록 증가하였으며 75%의 BCl3 gas를 첨가하였을 때 가장 높은 식각속도를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 SEM을 이용한 표면분석으로 roughness가 감소된 공정조건을 찾을 수 있었다.

NiCr alloys are prepared onto poly-Si/ $SiO_2$/Si substrates to replace Pt bottom electrode with a new one for integration of high dielectric constant materials. Alloys deposited at Ni and Cr power of 40 and 40 W showed optimum properties in the composition of N $i_{1.6}$C $r_{1.0}$. The grain size of films increases with increasing deposition temperature. The films deposited at 50$0^{\circ}C$ showed a severe agglomeration due to homogeneous nucleation. The NiCr alloys from the rms roughness and resistivity data showed a thermal stability independent of increasing annealing temperature. The 80 nm thick BST films deposited onto N $i_{1.6}$C $r_{1.0}$/poly-Si showed a dielectric constant of 280 and a dissipation factor of about 5 % at 100 kHz. The leakage current density of as-deposited BST films was about 5$\times$10$^{-7}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at an applied voltage of 1 V. The NiCr alloys are possible to replace Pt bottom electrode with new one to integrate f3r high dielectric constant materials.terials.
