In this study, the numerical analysis model of π-beam explosion is established to compare and analyze the failure modes of the π-beam under the action of explosive loads, thus verifying the accuracy of the numerical model. Then, based on the numerical analysis of different protection forms of π beams under explosive loads, the peak pressure of π beam under different protection conditions, the law of structural energy consumption, the damage pattern of the π beam after protection, and the protection efficiency of different protective layers was studied. The testing results indicate that the pressure peak of π beam is relatively small under the combined protection of steel plate and aluminum foam, and the peak value of pressure decays quickly along the beam longitudinal. Besides, as the longitudinal distance increases, the pressure peak attenuates most heavily on the roof's explosion-facing surface. Meanwhile, the combined protective layer has a strong energy consumption capacity, the energy consumed accounts for 90% of the three parts of the π beam (concrete, steel, and protective layer). The damaged area of π beam is relatively small under the combined protection of steel plate and aluminum foam. We also calculate the protection efficiency of π beams under different protection conditions using the maximum spalling area of concrete. The results show that the protective efficiency of the combined protective layer is 45%, demonstrating a relatively good protective ability.

EPB TBM 굴진 중 다양한 지반 조건에서 적절한 양의 폼(Foam), 폴리머(Polymer) 등 첨가제의 주입은 TBM 공사의 안정성은 물론 굴진 성능을 결정하는 중요한 요소이다. 국외에서는 90년대부터 최근까지 EPB TBM 공법을 토사 지반에 적용할 때 최적의 첨가제 주입에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어졌으나 국내에서는 이와 관련된 연구가 매우 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 굴착토 컨디셔닝에 가장 널리 사용되는 폼을 첨가제로 선정하고 폼 주입에 따른 토사 지반에서의 TBM 굴진 성능 변화를 일련의 실내 굴진 시험을 통해 파악하였다. 굴진 시험은 인공 사질토 지반을 동일 다짐 조건으로 조성하고 폼의 주입량과 상태를 나타내는 변수인 FIR (Foam Injection Ratio), FER (Foam Expansion Ratio), $C_f$ (Surfactant Concentration) 값을 변화시켜가며 수행되었으며, 각 시험에서 굴진 중 측정된 토크 값을 측정하였다. 또한 굴진 시험 후, 배토된 흙의 슬럼프 값을 비교하여 컨디셔닝 된 시료의 워커빌리티(workability)를 평가하였으며, 블레이드에 설치된 알루미늄 커터의 무게 변화를 측정하여 컨디셔닝 조건에 따른 동일 위치에서의 커터 마모량을 비교하였다. 최종적으로 측정된 토크, 슬럼프 값, 마모량 결과의 비교를 통해 본 연구에서 적용된 인공 사질토 지반에서 최적 TBM 굴진을 위한 폼 주입비를 도출하였다. 연구 결과를 통해 지반 조건에 따라 다른 최적의 TBM 굴진 성능을 확보하기 위해서는 장비 부하, 기계 마모, 워커빌리티 확보에 대하여 적정 수준을 만족하는 폼 주입 조건이 존재하고 이에 대응하기 위한 사전 폼 주입 설계가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

Aluminum extruded panel used in a high speed train shows high stiffness, however, its sound insulation performance is remarkably decreased by local resonance phenomena. In this paper, improvement strategy of the sound insulation performance is proposed for the floor extruded panel used in HEMU-400x, 400km/h class next generation high speed train under development, and the improvement effect is verified by experiment. Aluminum extruded panel specimen for the floor is manufactured and urethane foam is installed in the core of the panel. Based on ASTM E2249-02, intensity transmission loss is measured and the improvement effect in local resonance frequency band is verified. Finally, improvement effect of the sound insulation performance is estimated on the layered floor structure including the foamed aluminum panel.

공학 및 산업 분야에서는 구조적인 부분들에서 경량 복합 소재가 강과 같은 금속 소재를 대체해 오고 있다. 이러한 복합 소재는 리벳, 용접이나 볼트 및 너트를 이용한 체결 방법을 대신하여 접착제 체결 방법을 적용하고 있다. 복합 소재에 접착제 체결 방법을 적용하기 위해서는 접착계면에 대한 강도 특성 연구가 필수적으로 요구된다. 섬유 강화 플라스틱 복합 소재인 CFRP를 용이하게 가공하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. CFRP와 알루미늄(Al6061), 알루미늄 폼(Al-foam)을 가진 이종 복합 소재로 된 경사진 이중외팔보(TDCB) 시험편들로서 면내 전단과 면외 전단의 하중 조건들하에서 정적 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통하여 이중외팔보들의 파괴 특성과 그 파단 시점을 파악하여 접착계면을 가진 이종 복합 소재 구조물에 관한 내구성을 검토하였다.

Melting method has long been considered difficult to realize because of problems such as the low foamability of molten metal, the varying size of cellular structures and solidification shrinkage. The parameters to solve the problem in electric furnace were stirring temperature, stirring velocity, heating velocity and foaming temperature It is important to consider the effects of induction heating, because it brings about the inner flow by the temperature gradient. Aspect ratio also depends on the induction heating. Mechanical properties are dependent on cell sizes and aspect rations. Therefore, this paper presents the effects of these parameters on the cell sizes. For the sake of this, combined stirring process was used to fabricate aluminum foam materials by the above mentioned parameters. Image analysis was performed to calculate the cell sizes, distributions, and aspect ratioes at the cross section of feared aluminum in the direction of height.

The mechanism of the hydrogen gas pore formation was investigated in Lost Foam Casting of Al-alloy by reduced pressure test and real casting. The hydrogen gas pick-up was affected by the formed gas during the decomposition of polystyrene in addition to the liquid product. It depended on pouring temperature and a proper temperature of metal front gave the minimum hydrogen pick-up. At a low pouring temperature, the hydrogen went into the melt mainly from entrapped liquid product of polystyrene but pores were formed from the gas as well as the liquid product at a high pouring temperature. The mold flask evacuation down to 710torr decreased the gas porosity down by around 0.4% vol%. The entrapped decomposition product of polystyrene in the melt was observed through the visualization of filling behavior of Al alloy-melt with the high speed camera.

In this paper, foam-composite sandwich structures for EDM machine tool components such as column and column block designed by controlling stacking sequences and cross-sectional dimensions of the composite structures. The original column block is a box-shaped structure made of aluminum connecting a column and a Z-stage of the system. This research was focused on the design of efficient column block structure using a foam-composite sandwich structure which have good bending stiffness and damping characteristics to reduce the mass and increase damping ratio of the system. Vibration tests for getting damping ratio with respect to the stacking angle and thickness of the composites were carried out. Finite element analyses for static defection and vibration behaviour were also carried out to find out the appropriate stacking conditions; that is, stacking sequence and rib configuration. From the test and analysis results it was found that composite-foam sandwich structures for the microfactory system can be successful alternatives for high precision machining.

The present study describes a new technique to extract the primary silicon from an Al-Si alloy melt using centrifugal force during its solidification. The primary silicon was separated from an Al-50 wt.%Si alloy by centrifugal force in the form of a foam, which facilitated subsequent acid leaching to extract the pure silicon due to its wide surface area. The foam recovery after centrifugal separation was decreased as centrifugal acceleration was increased. The final recovery after acid leaching became closer to the solid fraction of the alloy, which was calculated from the Al-Si binary phase diagram, with increasing centrifugal acceleration due to the effective removal of the attached Al on the foam. The purity of the primary silicon obtained by the centrifugal separation method was over 99.99%, with only aluminum being also present.

The use of composite materials to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) structures against blast terror has great interests from engineering experts in structural retrofitting. The composite materials used in this study are rigid polyurethane foam (RPF) and aluminum foam (ALF). The aim of this study is to use the RPF and the ALF to strengthen the RC panels under blast load. The RC panel is considered to study the RPF and the ALF as structural retrofitting. Field blast test is conducted. The finite element analysis (FEA) is also used to model the RC panel under shock wave. The RC panel performance is studied based on detonating different TNT explosive charges. There is a good agreement between the results obtained by both the field blast test and the proposed numerical model. The composite materials improve the RC panel performance under the blast wave propagation.

The lost foam casting process was used to fabricate Al-Si-Mg cast specimens, and the effects of the chemical composition and process variables on the tensile properties and the mold filling ability were investigated. Some porosity formation was observed in thick sections of the casting and better tensile properties were obtained for thin sections, presumably because of their lower porosity and the higher cooling rate. Tensile properties were not clearly enhanced by grain refining treatment with Ti; however, the elongation was significantly improved by Sr modification of the Al-Si-Mg alloy. The mold filling distance was generally proportional to the pouring temperature of the melt, and the distance was also increased by the addition of Ti.
