The main objective of the present study is to investigate the roles of the micro-dimpled surface on the drag reduction. To investigate the effectiveness of the micro-dimpled surface, the flat plates are prepared. The micro-size dimples are directly carved on the metal surface by ultrasonic nano-crystal surface modification (UNSM) method. Momentum of the main flow is increased by the dimple patterns within the turbulent boundary layer (TBL), however, there is no significant change in the turbulence intensity in the TBL. The influence of dimple patterns is examined through the flow field survey near the flat plate trailing edge in terms of the profile drag. The wake flow velocities in the flat plate are measured by PIV technique. The maximum drag reduction rate is 4.6% at the Reynolds number of $10^6{\sim}10^7$. The dimples tend to increase the drag reduction rate consistently even at high Reynolds number range.

알루미나를 생산하는 Bayer 공정에서 발생하는 레드머드는 환경과 인간에게 심각한 위험요인이 되고 있어, 알루미늄 산업에서 레드머드의 발생량을 줄이거나 또는 재활용 하는 것은 매우 시급한 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 초음파 강도, 반응온도, 반응시간 및 산성용액 농도 등 4가지 변수가 레드머드 내의 철과 알루미늄의 침출에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 레드머드로부터 금속 성분의 용출에 미치는 가장 중요한 변수는 초음파 강도와 반응온도로 나타났다. 초음파를 조사할 경우, 철과 알루미늄의 회수율은 초음파를 조사하지 않은 경우보다 각각 1.72배와 1.28배 정도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과, 알루미나로부터 금속성분을 회수하기 위한 적정 조업조건은 초음파 강도 150 W, 황산 용액의 농도 4-6N, 반응온도 $70^{\circ}C$, 반응시간 2시간 등이었다.

In order to investigate the effect of Mn on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of PMN-PT [$Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbTiO_3$], four different types of 71PMN-29PT samples were prepared using the solid-state single crystal growth (SSCG) method: (1) Undoped single crystals, (2) undoped polycrystalline ceramics, (3) Mn-doped single crystals, and (4) Mn-doped polycrystalline ceramics. In the case of single crystals, the addition of 0.5 mol% Mn to PMN-PT decreased the dielectric constant ($K_3{^T}$), piezoelectric charge constant ($d_{33}$), and dielectric loss (tan ${\delta}$) by about 50%, but increased the coercive electric field ($E_C$) by 50% and the electromechanical quality factor ($Q_m$) by 500%, respectively. The addition of Mn to PMN-PT induced an internal bias electric field ($E_I$) and thus specimens changed from piezoelectrically soft-type to piezoelectrically hard-type. This Mn effect was more significant in single crystals than in ceramics. These results demonstrate that Mn-doped 71PMN-29PT single crystals, because they are piezoelectrically hard and simultaneously have high piezoelectric and electromechanical properties, have great potential for application in fields of SONAR transducers, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), and ultrasonic motors.

In this study, in order to develop the multilayer piezoelectric actuator and ultrasonic resonator, PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics were fabricated by sintering with $Li_2CO_3-Na_2CO_3$ as sintering aids at $950^{\circ}C$ and their piezoelectric and dielectric characteristics were investigated as a function of PNN substitution. With increasing PNN substitution, dielectric constant(${\epsilon}_r$), electromechanical coupling factor(kp), and piezoelectric d constant($d_{33}$) were increased to $12 mol\%$ PNN substitution and then showed a tendency to decrease rapidly With increasing PNN substitution, crystal structure changed from tetragonal to rhombohedral at $12 mol\%$ PNN substitution and then secondary phase was appeared and its intensity was increased. At the $12 mol\%$ PNN substituted PMN-PZT composition ceramic sintered at $950^{\circ}C$, density, kp, $d_{33}$ and Qm showed the optimum value of $7.79 g/cm^3$, 0.599, 419 pC/N, and 894, respectively for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.

The fatigue crack growth characteristics of base metal and weld joint of 9% Ni steel for LNG storage tank was carried out using CT specimen at room temperature and $-162^{\circ}C$. Fatigue crack growth rate of base and weld metals at RT and $-162^{\circ}C$ was coincided with a single line independent of the change of stress ratio and temperature. In the region of lower stress intensity factor range, fatigue crack growth rate at $-162^{\circ}C$ was slower than that at RT, and the slop of fatigue crack growth rate at $-162^{\circ}C$ increased sharply with propagating of fatigue crack, fatigue crack growth rate at RT and $-162^{\circ}C$ was intersected near the region of $2{\times}10-4\;mm$/cycle, and after the intersection region, fatigue crack growth rate at $-162^{\circ}C$ was faster than that at RT. The micro-fracture mechanism using SEM shows the ductile striation in the stable crack growth region. Also the defects of weld specimen after fatigue testing were detected using the A scan of ultrasonic apparatus.

In order to effective degradation of organic dye both under visible light or ultrasonic irradiation, the MWCNTs (multiwalled carbon nanotube) deposited with Fe and $TiO_2$ were prepared by a modified sol-gel method. The Fe/$TiO_2$-MWCNT catalyst was characterized by surface area of BET, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. The low intensity visible light and low power ultrasound was as an irradiation source and the methylene blue (MB) was choose as the model organic dye. Then degradation experiments were carried out in present of undoped $TiO_2$, Fe/$TiO_2$ and Fe/$TiO_2$-MWCNT catalysts. Through the degradation of MB solution, the results showed the feasible and potential use of Fe/$TiO_2$-MWCNT catalyst under visible light and ultrasonic irradiation due to the enhanced formation of reactive radicals as well as the possible visible light and the increase of ultrasound-induced active surface area of the catalyst. After addition of $H_2O_2$, the MB degradation rates have been accelerated, especially with Fe/$TiO_2$-MWCNT catalyst, in case of that the photo-Fenton reaction occurred. The sonophotocatalysis was always faster than the respective individual processes due to the more formation of reactive radicals as well as the increase of the active surface area of Fe/$TiO_2$-MWCNT catalyst.

The primary objective of this study is to treat a monocrystalline silicon (Si) wafer having a thickness of $279{\mu}m$ by employing the ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) technology for improving the efficiency and service life of nano-electromechanical systems (NEMSs) and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMSs) by enhancing of wear and corrosion resistances. The wear and corrosion resistances of the Si wafer were systematically investigated before and after UNSM treatment, wherein abrasive, oxidative and spalling wear mechanisms were applied to the as-received and subsequently UNSM-treated Si wafer. Compared to the asreceived state, the wear and corrosion resistances of the UNSM-treated Si wafer are found to be enhanced by about 23% and 14%, respectively. The enhancement in wear and corrosion resistances after UNSM treatment may be attributed to grain size refinement (confirmed by Raman spectroscopy) and modified surface integrity. Furthermore, it is observed that the Raman intensity reduced significantly after UNSM treatment, whereas neither the Raman shift nor new phases were found on the surface of the UNSM-treated Si wafer. In addition, the friction coefficient values of the as-received and UNSM-treated Si wafers are found to be about 0.54 and 0.39, respectively. Hence, UNSM technology can be effectively incorporated as an alternative mechanical surface treatment for NEMSs and MEMSs comprising Si wafers.

초음파 뇌 자극술을 통하여 뇌 심부의 국소 지역에 있는 뇌 세포의 활성화를 유도할 수 있으며, 이를 통하여 저하된 뇌 기능을 치료하는데 효과가 있음이 보고되어 왔다. 반면, 초음파 자극의 종류에 따라 신경 변조의 효율과 방향이 달라질 수 있음이 알려져 있어, 적절한 초음파 자극의 종류를 확립하는 연구가 중요하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이를 효과적으로 최적화 하기 위해 세포 배양시 사용되는 커버슬립 기반의 초음파 변환자를 제안하고자 한다. 균일한 초음파 자극을 전도하기 위해서 폴리머 압전소자(Poly-vinylidene fluoride-trifluorethylene, PVDF-TrFE)를 스핀 코팅하고 패를린 절연층을 상단에 적층시켜 음압 출력을 극대화 시켰다. 개발된 초음파 변환자 융합 커버슬립은 초음파자극기 표면에 배양된 수십개의 신경세포에 균일하고 정확한 초음파 자극을 전달 할 수 있고, 자극에 따른 세포의 반응을 형광 현미경으로 실시간 관찰 가능하다. 따라서, 동일한 초음파 자극에 대한 세포의 반응 신호를 최대 수십개 세포로부터 동시에 획득 가능하므로, 반응 신호를 평균 한다면 낮은 강도의 초음파 자극에 따른 뇌 세포의 미세한 반응을 검출할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 초음파 변환자와 물의 표면 등에서 발생하는 정현파에 의한 자극의 왜곡 현상을 줄일 수 있어서 사용자가 원하는 초음파 자극을 정확하게 세포로 전달 가능하다. 이렇게 개발된 초음파 변환자를 통해 변환자 표면에 배양된 별세포에서 6 MHz, 0.2 MPa의 저강도 초음파 자극에 의해 유도된 칼슘 반응을 성공적으로 관찰할 수 있었다.
