Blending has become an interesting way for preparing new materials with tailored properties. Unfortunately, many materials are incompatible due to the difference in their viscoelastic properties, surface energy and interaction. Therefore, the properties of polymer blends are not obtained as expected levels. Silicone rubber has an excellent heat-resistance and electrical characteristics, and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber also has good mechanical properties. The purpose of this study is to develop a new engineering material which has excellent electrical and mechanical properties through blending of silicone with EPDM rubber.

Zein protein is one of the best biopolymer for edible film making and polyols are convenient plasticizers for biopolymers. Sorbitol, glycerol and manitol at three levels (0.5, 0.7, 1g/g of zein) were used as plasticizers. Rheological and thermal properties of zein resins were studied for determining their plasticization effectiveness. Sorbitol and glycerol had good plasticizing effects and could decrease viscoelastic modulus of zein resins considerably, but manitol was not as effective as them. Effects of plasticizers on thermal properties of resins were investigated by DSC at -100 to $150^{\circ}C$. No crystallization and melting peaks related to zein resin and plasticizers were observed. Thermograms showed that polyolic plasticizers and zein resin remained a homogeneous material throughout the cooling and heating cycles.

This study presents results on the numerical simulation of Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow in a channel obstructed by an asymmetric array of obstacles for clarifying the descriptive ability of current non-Newtonian constitutive equations. Jones and Walters (1989) have performed the corresponding experiment that clearly demonstrates the characteristic difference among the flow patterns of the various liquids. In order to appropriately account for flow properties, the Navier-Stokes, the Carreau viscous and the Leonov equations are employed for Newtonian, shear thinning and extension hardening liquids, respectively. Making use of the tensor-logarithmic formulation of the Leonov model in the computational scheme, we have obtained stable solutions up to relatively high Deborah numbers. The peculiar characteristics of the non-Newtonian liquids such as shear thinning and extension hardening seem to be properly illustrated by the flow modeling. In our opinion, the results show the possibility of current constitutive modeling to appropriately describe non-Newtonian flow phenomena at least qualitatively, even though the model parameters specified for the current computation do not precisely represent material characteristics.

An optimization formulation is proposed to minimize sound pressures in a two-dimensional cavity by controlling the attachment area of unconstrained damping materials. For the analysis of structural-acoustic systems, a hybrid approach that uses finite elements for structures and boundary elements for cavity is adopted. Four-parameter fractional derivative model is used to accurately represent dynamic characteristics oJ the viscoelastic materials with frequency and temperature. Optimal layouts of the unconstrained damping layer on structural wall of cavity are identified according to temperatures and the amount of damping material by using a numerical search algorithm.

진동을 제어하는 방법의 하나로 널리 응용되고 있는 진동감쇠 제어기술은 급속한 산업화에 부수되는 불필요한 진동이나 소음을 효과적으로 줄이기 위 하여 광범위하게 연구되어 오고 있다. 특히 수동감쇠제어는 기존의 구조물에 단지 표면처리등의 간단한 작업을 통해 큰 감쇠효과를 얻을 수 있을 뿐 아 니라 수명도 반영구적이고 사용장소의 구애를 거의 받지 않는다는 장점 때 문에 그 수요가 증가하고 있는 실정이다[1]. 그러나 대표적인 수동감쇠재료 인 점탄성재료는 우수한 감쇠성질을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고, 재료 자체가 주위환경에 따라 감쇠특성 및 물성치가 민감하게 변화하기 때문에 이 재료 로 감쇠처리된 구조물에는 유한요소법과 같은 구조해석기법을 응용하는 것 이 쉽지않다는 단점이 있다[2]. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 제약을 극복하 기 위하여, 모우드해석법을 통해 유도된 점탄성재료의 주파수와 온도에 대한 특성치를 보여주는 Reduced Frequency Nomogram(RFN)을 전산화과정을 거쳐 그래프화 하여 미지의 온도와 주파수에서 특성치를 구할 수 있도록 하 였다. 이 자료를 근거로 점탄성 재료를 포함한 실제 구조물의 이론적인 해석 을 가능하게 함으로써 이 재료의 광범위한 활용을 도모하였다.

This essay is a general review of the application of ultrasonic NDE techniques to the performance assessment and characterization of composite materials. A brief review of ultrasonic input-output characterization of a composite plate by shear waves is presented. A theoretical development of ultrasonic wave propagation in isotropic and anisotropic media excited, respectively, by a circular transducer and an oscillatory point source is summarized. Some experimental results are described in which ultrasonic velocity and attenuation measurements give insight into material degradation of fatigued composite laminates. Ultrasonic determination of the elastic constants of a composite plate and an experimental attempt at ultrasonic testing of an isotropic plate containing a crack are also included. A recent effort for the characterization of viscoelastic materials using the ultrasonic NDE technique is outlined. Finally, the reliability of ultrasonic NDE is briefly touched upon.

본 연구에서는 점탄성 제진층이 탄성기판의 한 면에 피복된 2층 제진강파느이 모달 손실계수의 관점으로부터 부분도포에 의한 최적설계의 가능성을 검토하였다. 즉, 일정한 두께로 전면 도포되어 있는 2층의 제진층을 작은 크기의 조각(piece)으로 분할한 경우, 각각의 조각이 손실계수에 미치는 영향을 손실계수의 증감율로써 평가하고, 최소 영향부위의 조각을 최대 영향부위에 이동하여, 동일 질랴의 제진재로 최대의 제진효과를 얻을 수 있는 제진재의 최적 설계법을 제안한다. 수치계산은 주변고정 평판의 (1,1)(1,2)(1,3) 모드 성분에 대해 수행하여 최적설계에 의한 손실계수의 증가와 그때 제진재의 배열형상을 조사하였다. 본 수법에 의해 얻어진 결과는 실험결과와 비교 검토하여 본 최적화 수법의 타당성을 확인하였다. 또한, 제진재의 전면도포의 경우는 Ross-Ungar-Kerwin모델에서도 계산을 수행하여 본 수법의 결과와 비교하였다.

The flexural vibration of aluminum beams with active and passive constrained-layer damping has been investigated experimentally to design a structure with maximum possible damping capacity. Piezoelectric film is used as a sensor and piezoceramic as an actuator for the negative velocity feedback control. The experimental results are compared with those by the finite element analysis. This paper shows the effectiveness of active constrained-layer damping treatment through experiments, and we have carried out an experiment to study the effect of beam thickness.

The behaviour of alloys in the semi-solid state strongly depends on the imposed stress state and on the morphology of the phase which can very from dendritic to globular. The estimation of behaviour characteristic in the compression simulation with seim-solid materials are calculated by finite element method with proposed algorithm. The proposed theoretical model and a various boundary conditions for compression process is investigated with the coupling calculation between the liquid phase flow and the solid phase deformation. The simulation process considering soldification phenomena is performed to the isothermal conditions of two dimensional problems. To analysis of compression process by using semi-solid materials, a new stress-strain relationship is described, and compression analysis is performed by viscoelastic model for the solid phase and the Darcy's law for the liquid flow. The calculated results for compression force and ram displacement will be compared to experimental data.

점탄성 복합재는 간단한 작업으로 큰 감쇠 효과를 볼 수 있어 사용이 날로 늘어나고 있다. 그런데 점탄성 복합재의 특성은 온도에 민감하게 반응하며 변화한다. 그러므로 점탄성 복합재의 모드해석 시 온도 변화에 따른 해석이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 한쪽면에 점탄성재를 부착한 Oberst beam을 일단고정 상태로 설치하여 실험 온도를 $-15{\sim}45^{\circ}C$로 변화시켜가며 전달함수를 이용하여 실험모드해석을 실행하였다. 그리고 온도 차이에 따른 모드형상을 비교하였다.
