시멘트 대체 재료로서 플라이애쉬의 사용은 시멘트 생산비용을 절감시키는 효과를 창출하였다. 반면에 플라이애쉬 혼입콘크리트는 OPC에 비해 상대적으로 긴 양생시간과 초기강도의 발현 저하를 들 수 있어 이의 해결을 위해 물리적 방법, 온도 및 화학적 방법 등과 같은 다양한 활성화 기술의 적용을 통하여 플라이애쉬 혼입 콘크리트의 수화를 가속시킬 수 있고, 콘크리트의 부식 저항성을 향상시킬 수가 있다. 본 연구에서는 10~40%의 치환률을 가진 활성화된 플라이애쉬 시편을 통해 개방 회로형 전위측정(Open circuit potential measurement)을 수행하였고, 투수시험, 급속염화물침투시험 및 SEM(Scanning electron microscopy)촬영을 통해 OPC 콘크리트와 비교 분석 하였다. 또한, 치환률의 임계범위 20~30%의 경우에 있어서 활성화된 플라이애쉬를 사용한 콘크리트가 열화저항성에 있어서 개선효과가 나타나고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 플라이애쉬를 화학적으로 활성화시킨 경우가 본 연구에서 수행된 다른 활성화 방법들에 비해 더욱 좋은 결과를 나타나고 있음도 확인하였다.

Copper(Cu) as an interconnecting metal layer can replace aluminum (Al) in IC fabrication since Cu has low electrical resistivity, showing high immunity to electromigration compared to Al. However, it is very difficult for copper to be patterned by the dry etching processes. The chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process has been introduced and widely used as the mainstream patterning technique for Cu in the fabrication of deep submicron integrated circuits in light of its capability to reduce surface roughness. But this process leaves a large amount of residues on the wafer surface, which must be removed by the post-CMP cleaning processes. Copper corrosion is one of the critical issues for the copper metallization process. Thus, in order to understand the copper corrosion problems in post-CMP cleaning solutions and study the effects of DC biases and post-CMP cleaning solution concentrations on the Cu film, a constant voltage was supplied at various concentrations, and then the output currents were measured and recorded with time. Most of the cases, the current was steadily decreased (i.e. resistance was increased by the oxidation). In the lowest concentration case only, the current was steadily increased with the scarce fluctuations. The higher the constant supplied DC voltage values, the higher the initial output current and the saturated current values. However the time to be taken for it to be saturated was almost the same for all the DC supplied voltage values. It was indicated that the oxide formation was not dependent on the supplied voltage values and 1 V was more than enough to form the oxide. With applied voltages lower than 3 V combined with any concentration, the perforation through the oxide film rarely took place due to the insufficient driving force (voltage) and the copper oxidation ceased. However, with the voltage higher than 3 V, the copper ions were started to diffuse out through the oxide film and thus made pores to be formed on the oxide surface, causing the current to increase and a part of the exposed copper film inside the pores gets back to be oxidized and the rest of it was remained without any further oxidation, causing the current back to decrease a little bit. With increasing the applied DC bias value, the shorter time to be taken for copper ions to be diffused out through the copper oxide film. From the discussions above, it could be concluded that the oxide film was formed and grown by the copper ion diffusion first and then the reaction with any oxidant in the post-CMP cleaning solution.

Dental restorative materials must have the physical properties to withstand wear and corrosion. Base metal alloys possess better mechanical properties and lower price than the gold alloys. For these reasons such alloys have largely replaced the precious metal alloys. One aspect to con-sider is the release of metal substances to oral environment. The release of elements from dental alloys is a continuing concern because the elements may have the potentially harmful biological effects on local tissues. The purpose of this study was to minimize metal release on the nonprecious metal surfaces by ion beam assisted deposition(IBAD) of titanium nitride (TiN) Ni-Cr-Be alloys with and without TiN coatings were secured in an wear test machine opposing ruby ball to determine their relative resistance to wear with loom, 200m, 300m and 400m sliding distance. And the corrosion behavior of the Ni-Cr-Be alloys with and without TiN coatings and 3 dental noble alloys have been studied. Potentiodynamic curves were used to analyse the corrosion characteristics of the alloys. The measurement of the released Ni and Cr ions was conducted by analysis of the electrolyte solution with atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results were as follows : 1. The critical sliding distance that wore down TiN coatings of $2.5{\mu}m$ thickness in this study condition was 300m. 2. Ion beam assisted deposition of TiN showed a good surface modification with respect to the properties of wear and corrosion resistance. 3. X-ray diffraction showed that the strongest peak of TiN is TiN(111) in the coatings. 4. The release of Ni and Cr ions from alloys measured by means of atomic absorption spectroscopy was reduced by ion beam assisted deposition of TiN.

The WGJ420 fire-resistant weathering (FRW) steel is developed and manufactured with standard yield strength of 420 MPa at room temperature, which is expected to significantly enhance the performance of steel structures with excellent fire and corrosion resistances, strong seismic capacity, high strength and ductility, good resilience and robustness. In this paper, the mechanical properties of FRW steel plates and buckling behavior of columns are investigated through tests at elevated temperatures. The stress-strain curves, mechanical properties of FRW steel such as modulus of elasticity, proof strength, tensile strength, as well as corresponding reduction factors are obtained and discussed. The recommended constitutive model based on the Ramberg-Osgood relationship, as well as the relevant formulas for mechanical properties are proposed, which provide fundamental mechanical parameters and references. A total of 12 FRW steel welded I-section columns with different slenderness ratios and buckling load ratios are tested under standard fire to understand the global buckling behavior in-depth. The influences of boundary conditions on the buckling failure modes as well as the critical temperatures are also investigated. In addition, the temperature distributions at different sections/locations of the columns are obtained. It is found that the buckling deformation curve can be divided into four stages: initial expansion stage, stable stage, compression stage and failure stage. The fire test results concluded that the residual buckling capacities of FRW steel columns are substantially higher than the conventional steel columns at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, the numerical results show good agreement with the fire test results in terms of the critical temperature and maximum axial elongation. Finally, the critical temperatures between the numerical results and various code/standard curves (GB 51249, Eurocode 3, AS 4100, BS 5950 and AISC) are compared and verified both in the buckling resistance domain and in the temperature domain. It is demonstrated that the FRW steel columns have sufficient safety redundancy for fire resistance when they are designed according to current codes or standards.

지난 수년간 콘크리트의 염소이온 침투와 유관되어 실험 방법론 및 해석적 모델 기법의 개발에 많은 발전이 있어 왔다. 그러나 실제 콘크리트 구조물에는 다소의 균열이 존재하며 이는 장기 내구성에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있음에도 불구하고 대부분의 연구들은 비균열의 콘크리트를 대상으로 연구되어 온 문제점이 있었으며 균열이 존재하는 콘크리트의 염소이온 침투에 대한 연구는 매우 드문 실정이다. 염소이온 침투에 대한 균열폭의 임계치는 유지관리 차원에서 필요하지만, 대부분 콘크리트 코드는 사용성의 견지에서 허용 균열폭을 보편적인 값 0.3mm로 제안하고 있을 뿐, 염소이온 침투 및 내구성의 견지에서 임계 균열폭에 대한 규정도 부재한 실정이다. 이미 제안된 값도 연구자들마다 상이하여 논란의 여지가 있다. 본 연구는 임계 균열폭의 도출을 목적으로 균열이 콘크리트의 염소이온 침투에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 실험적 방법으로 다양한 균열폭과 균열 깊이를 실험 변수로 하여 급속 염소이온 침투 실험 (RCMT)를 행하였다. 한편, 임계 균열폭이 갖는 공학적 의미를 설명하고자, 균열폭에 따른 염소이온 침투의 현상학적 모델이 제안되었다. 즉, 균열된 콘크리트는 3 구간으로 나누어지며 내부 안쪽으로 들어갈수록 확산자유 영역, 확산경화 영역, 순수 확산 영역의 3가지 구간이 존재한다. 이는 균열폭에 따른 염소이온 확산계수를 산출하기 위한 해석적 방법론의 개발에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, effects of solidification modes (primary $\delta$-ferrite, primary ${\gamma}$-austenite) on the pit initiation and propagation in the 304L and 316L austenitic stainless steel weld metals were investigated. The solidification mode of weld metal was controlled by the addition of nitrogen to Ar shielding gas. Through the electrochemical experiments (potentiodynamic anodic polarization and potentiostatic time-current transient test) and metallographic examination (microstructure and elemental distribution), the following results were obtained. The more the volume content of nitrogen in the shielding gas were, the lower critical current density for passivity was observed. In comparison with weldments solidified through the primary $\delta$-ferrite solidification mode and the primary ${\gamma}$-solidification mode, the former showed higher critical pitting potential and a longer incubation time for stable pit initiation than the latter. However, in the pit propagation stage the former exhibited a faster dissolution rate than the latter. These results were believed to ee related to the distribution of alloying elements such as Cr, Mo, Ni and S.

Although the effect of corrosion of reinforcing bar on the shear behavior of the reinforced concrete (RC) beam had been simulated by tests of the beam with unbonded, half-exposed or whole-exposed tensile steel reinforcements as well as defective stirrup anchorages, theoretical methods to accurately predict remaining capacity of this kind of RC beams, especially shear capacity, are still lacking. Considering the possible position of the critical inclined crack, the actual pattern of strains in the concrete body within the partial length and the proposed compatibility condition of deformations of the RC beam, shear strength of the RC beam with unbonded or exposed tensile steel reinforcements and/or defective stirrup anchorages is predicted. Comparison between the model's predictions with the experimental results published in the literature shows the practicability of the proposed model. Influence of the length of unbonded or exposed tensile steel reinforcements and the percentage of stirrups lacked end anchorages on the shear strength of the RC beam is discussed. It is concluded that, the shear strength of the RC beam with unbonded or exposed tensile steel reinforcements and/or defective stirrup anchorages is greatly influenced by the length of unbonded or exposed tensile steel reinforcements and the percentage of stirrups lacked end anchorages, this influence can be adverse, insignificant or even favourable, dependent on the given parameters of the corresponding normal bonded RC beam.

Internal and external corrosion are common in pressure pipes used in a variety of industries, often resulting in defects that compromise their integrity. This economically and industrially significant problem calls for both preventive and curative technical solutions to guarantee the reliability of these structures. With this in mind, our study focuses on the influence of composite and metallic patch repairs on the limit loads of pipes, particularly elbows, the critical component of piping systems. To this end, we used the nonlinear extended finite element method (X-FEM) to study elbows, a priori corroded on the internal surface of the extrados section, then repaired with composite and metallic patches. In addition, the effect of the geometry of composite materials and metal patches was examined, in particular the effect of their thickness and material on the increase in limit loads of repaired structures. The results obtained provide information on the effectiveness and optimization of patch repair of corroded elbows, with the aim of increasing their service life.

This paper presents a numerical study on the rotordynamic analysis of a dual-spool turbofan engine in the context of blade defect events. The blades of an axial-type aeroengine are typically well aligned during the compressor and turbine stages. However, they are sometimes exposed to damage, partially or entirely, for several operational reasons, such as cracks due to foreign objects, burns from the combustion gas, and corrosion due to oxygen in the air. Herein, we designed a dual-spool rotor using the commercial 3D modeling software CATIA to simulate blade defects in the turbofan engine. We utilized the rotordynamic parameters to create two finite element Euler-Bernoulli beam models connected by means of an inter-rotor bearing. We then applied the unbalanced forces induced by the mass eccentricities of the blades to the following selected scenarios: 1) fully balanced, 2) crack in the low-pressure compressor (LPC) and high pressure compressor (HPC), 3) burn on the high-pressure turbine (HPT) and low pressure compressor, 4) corrosion of the LPC, and 5) corrosion of the HPC. Additionally, we obtained the transient and steady-state responses of the overall rotor nodes using the Runge-Kutta numerical integration method, and employed model reduction techniques such as component mode synthesis to enhance the computational efficiency of the process. The simulation results indicate that the high-vibration status of the rotor commences beyond 10,000 rpm, which is identified as the first critical speed of the lower speed rotor. Moreover, we monitored the unbalanced stages near the inter-rotor bearing, which prominently influences the overall rotordynamic status, and the corrosion of the HPC to prevent further instability. The high-speed range operation (>13,000 rpm) coupled with HPC/HPT blade defects possibly presents a rotor-case contact problem that can lead to catastrophic failure.

배관은 석유화학플랜트에서 가장 많은 구성요소이며, 주요설비들에서 생산된 물질을 수송하는 매우 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 특히, 저온 또는 고온의 물질을 수송하는 배관들의 경우 물질의 온도변화를 최소화하기 위해 보온재를 배관의 외면에 덮어 사용하는 경우가 다수이다. 그러나 이러한 보온재에 덮인 배관들에서 부식이 발생할 경우 보온재를 제거하지 않고서는 확인하기 어렵기 때문에 현장검사시 유도초음파를 이용한 비파괴적 방법이 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 보온재 내부에서 발생하는 보온재하 부식(CUI : Corrosion Under Insulation)을 유도초음파를 사용하여 효과적으로 검출하기 위해서 유도초음파의 위상속도 분산선도와 파형구조의 이론적 해석을 통해 최적 발생조건을 선정하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다양한 석유화학플랜트 배관의 보온재하 부식에 대한 유도초음파를 이용한 현장검출에 적용할 경우 매우 유용할 것이다.
