During sintering of very porous green bodies, as obtained by compaction of hard powders - such as tungsten carbide or ceramics - or by injection moulding, important shrinkage occurs. Due to heterogeneous green density field, gravity effects, friction on the support, thermal gradients, etc., this shrinkage is often non-uniform, which' may induce significant shape changes. As the ratio of compact dimension to powder size is very high, the mechanics of continuum is relevant to model such phenomena. Thus numerical techniques, such as the finite element method can be used to simulate the sintering process and predict the final shape of the sintered part. Such type of simulation has much been developed in the last decade firstly for hot isostatic pressing and next for die compaction. Finite element modelling has been recently applied to free sintering. The simulation of sintering should be based on constitutive equations describing the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the material under any state of stress and any temperature which may arise within the sintering body. These equations can be drawn either from experimental data or from micromechanical models. The experiments usually consist in free sintering and sinter-forging tests. Indeed applying more complex loading conditions at high temperature under controlled atmosphere is delicate. Micromechanical models describe the constitutive behaviour of aggregates of spheres from the deformation of two-sphere contact either by viscous flow or grain boundary diffusion. Such models are not able to describe complex microstructure and mechanisms as observed in real materials but they can give some basic information on the formulation of constitutive equations. Practically both experimental and theoretical approaches can be coupled to identify the constitutive equations. Such procedure has been performed for modelling the sintering of compacts obtained by die pressing of a mixture of tungsten carbide and cobalt powders. The constitutive behaviour of this material during sintering has been described by a linear viscous constitutive model, whose functions have been fitted from results of free sintering and sinter-forging experiments. This model has next been introduced in ABAQUS finite element code to simulate the sintering of heterogeneous green compacts of various geometries at constant temperature. Examples of simulations are shown and compared with experiments.

LSM 트리 기반 Key-Value 스토어의 컴팩션(compaction)에 의한 오버헤드를 최적화한 WiscKey 데이터베이스는 값은 별도의 파일에 저장하고, 데이터베이스에는 키와 값의 주소만을 저장한다. 값을 저장하는 과정에서 데이터 무결성을 보장하기 위해 매번 fsync 시스템 호출 함수를 사용한다. 기존의 수행된 연구에서 fsync 시스템 호출 함수를 호출하지 않고 데이터 저장 작업을 반복적으로 수행해 본 결과 총 작업 수행시간이 최대 5.8배까지 줄어들었다. 하지만 fsync 시스템 호출 함수를 사용하지 않을 경우 데이터베이스의 데이터 무결성을 보장하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 WiscKey 데이터베이스에서 작업 수행 중 fsync 시스템 호출 함수의 오버헤드를 줄이기 위해 NVDIMM 캐싱 기법을 사용하여 데이터 무결성을 보장함과 동시에 WiscKey 데이터베이스의 성능을 향상시켰다.

GS E&C was awarded the contract for the construction of Hanoi - Hai Phong Expressway Package EX-7 from Station Km 72+000 to Station Km 81+300 in December 2008. This project is the $7^{th}$ contract package of the 105.5 km long expressway near Hai Phong city, which includes a FCM-styled bridge along with high embankments over soft ground. For these high embankments, there is a need to treat the soft soil for improving the overall stability during construction and for reducing the post-construction settlement of the expressway. The Designer of this project had adopted four (4) different types of ground improvement techniques to treat the soft ground, including the prefabricated vertical drains (PVD), sand drains (SD), pack drains (PD, or sometimes called packed sand drains), and sand compaction piles (SCP). The main focus of soft soil treatment should be paid attention to the residual settlement after construction. In current design, however, it appeared that the secondary compression (or creep) of the improved soil layer and the consolidation settlement of the lower untreated compressible soil layer have been neglected in the estimation of the post-construction settlement. These uncalculated residual settlements may not only unsatisfy the design criteria but also raise serious problems during service period of this expressway. In this paper, the subsoil condition and current design were reviewed focusing on the employed soft soil treatment method and expected residual settlement.

The corrosion behaviors of 316L stainless steel were investigated in simulated anodic and cathodic environments for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) by using electrochemical measurement techniques. Interfacial contact resistance(ICR) between the stainless steel and gas diffusion layer(GDL) was also measured. The possibility of 316L was evaluated as a substitute material for the graphite bipolar plate of PEMFC. The value of ICR decreased with an increase in compaction stress(20 N/$cm^2$~220 N/$cm^2$) showing the higher values than the required value in PEMFC condition. Although 316L was spontaneously passivated in simulated cathodic environment, its passive state was unstable in simulated anodic environment. Potentiostatic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement results showed that the corrosion resistance in cathodic condition was higher and more stable than that in anodic condition. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and inductively coupled plasma(ICP) were used to analyze the surface morphology and the metal ion concentration in electrolytes.

In this study, the bottom-up powder metallurgy and the top-down severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques for manufacturing bulk nanomaterials were combined in order to achieve both full density and grain refinement without grain growth of rapidly solidified Al-20 wt% Si alloy powders during consolidation processing. Continuous equal channel multi-angular processing (C-ECMAP) was proposed to improve low productivity of conventional ECAP, one of the most promising method in SPD. As a powder consolidation method, C-ECMAP was employed. A wide range of experimental studies were carried out for characterizing mechanical properties and microstructures of the ECMAP processed materials. It was found that effective properties of high strength and full density maintaining nanoscale microstructure are achieved. The proposed SPD processing of powder materials can be a good method to achieve fully density and nanostructured materials.

Biopolymer stabilization is a sustainable alternative to traditional techniques that cause a lesser negative impact on the environment during production and application. The study aims to minimize the biopolymer dosages by sizing the bio-additives to the nanoscale. This study combines the advantages of bio and nanomaterials in geotechnical engineering applications and attempts to investigate the behaviour of a low viscous biopolymer, nano sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (nCMC), to treat organic soil. Soil is treated with 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1.00% of nano-bio additive, and its effect on the plastic behaviour, compaction characteristics, strength, hydraulic conductivity (HC) and compressible nature are investigated. The strength increased by 1.68 times after 90 days of curing at a dosage of 0.5% nCMC through the formation of gel threads connecting the soil particles that stiffened the matrix. The viscosity of 1% nCMC increased exponentially, deterring fluid flow through the voids and reduced the HC by 0.85 times after curing for 90 days. Also, beyond the optimum dosage of 0.50%, the nCMC forms a film around the soil particles that inhibits the inter-particle cohesion causing a reduction in strength. Experimental results show that nCMC can effectively substitute conventional additives to stabilize the soil.

One of the issues with clayey soils, particularly those with significant quantities of organic matter, is the creep settling problem. Clay soils can be strengthened using a variety of techniques, one of which is the use of stone columns. Prior research involved foundation loading when the soil beds were ready and confined in one-dimensional consolidation chambers. In this study, a particular methodology is used to get around the model's frictional resistance issue. Initially, specimens were prepared via static compaction, and they were then re-consolidated inside a sizable triaxial cell while under isotropic pressure. With this configuration, the confining pressure can be adjusted, the pore water pressure beneath the foundation can be measured, and the spacemen's lateral border may be freely moved. This paper's important conclusions include the observation that secondary settlement declines with area replacement ratio. Because of the composite ground's increasing stiffness, the length to diameter ratio (l/d) and the stone column to sample height ratio (Hc/Hs) both increase. The degree of improvement varies from 12.4 to 55% according to area replacement ratio and (l/d) ratio.

기존의 연약지반 개량공법의 대체공법으로 유럽과 국내에서는 소정의 인장강도를 갖는 토목섬유로 골재말뚝의 외벽을 감싸는 공법에 대한 연구가 많이 증가하였다. 이 연구에서는 이와 같은 공법에서 골재말뚝의 외벽을 감싸는 원주형 섬유의 인장강도에 따른 지반보강 효과 및 보강 메커니즘 등을 파악하기 위하여 모래-팩, 점토-팩 복합토에 대한 삼축압축시험을 실시하였다. 또한 모래다짐말뚝공법을 모사하는 모래-점토 복합토와 모래다짐말뚝을 원주형 섬유로 보강한 모래-점토-팩 복합토에 대한 삼축압축시험을 실시하여 치환율(${\alpha}_s$)과 인장강도($T_{\alpha}$)에 따른 보강효과와 거동의 차이를 비교하였다. 시험결과 섬유의 보강효과로 인한 강도증가는 섬유의 수평방향 인장강도와 밀접한 관계가 있고, 섬유에 의한 구속응력 증가효과(${\Delta}{\sigma}_3$)에 의해서 점착절편(c, c')의 증가효과가 매우 크게 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 모래다짐말뚝이 토목섬유로 보강된 경우(모래-팩-점토)와 그렇지 않은 경우(모래-점토)를 비교해 볼 때 삼축압축시 전단거동(전단강도, 파괴시 간극수압계수, 응력비 등)에 있어서 큰 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

예비연구(박철수 등, 2009)를 통해 철도 토공노반에 대한 새로운 품질관리 지표로서 압축파 속도와 계측 기법을 제안하였다. 제안하고자 하는 새로운 품질관리 방안은 밀도를 이용한 품질관리 과정을 동일하게 따랐으며, 다만 밀도를 설계단계의 회복탄성계수와 관련 있는 압축파 속도로 대신하였다. 이와 더불어 현장 함수비가 최적함수비의 ${\pm}2%$를 만족하도록 보완하였다. 본 연구에서는 직접도달파 기법 및 실내 압축파 계측 외에 크로스홀 시험과 공진주시험을 추가로 수행하여, 압축파 속도에 근거한 새로운 품질관리 방안의 적용성을 검증하였다. 응력이 보정된 크로스홀 시험결과는 직접도달파 시험의 결과와 잘 일치 하였고, 공진주시험 결과 또한 크로스홀 시험의 결과와 잘 일치 하였다. 압축파 속도는 이론적으로나 실무적 관점에서 철도 토공노반의 우수한 품질관리 기준임이 밝혀졌다.

In this research, we produced polycrystalline n-type $Bi_2Te_{2.7}Se_{0.3}$ powder using water atomization. To obtain full benefit through water atomized powder, we have implemented spark plasma sintering and hot extrusion for powder compaction. The microstructure and thermoelectric properties were investigated and compared. The average grain size of SPS and extruded bulks were 3.08 and $3.86{\mu}m$ respectively. The extruded material microstructure contains layered grains with less grain boundaries and its counter-part SPS displays dense packed grains with high grain boundaries. Among both bulks, extrusion sample exhibited high power factor (PF) of $2.96{\times}10^{-3}Wm^{-1}K^{-2}$ which is 38% higher than SPS ($2.14{\times}10^{-3}$) bulk sample. Due to variations in grain size and grain boundaries, the SPS bulk shows low thermal conductivity than extruded bulk. However, the extruded bulk sample exhibited a peak ZT of 0.69 at 400 K, which is 19% higher than SPS bulk sample, due to its higher power factor.
