CrN/AlN multilayer coatings with various bilayer periods in the range of 1.8 to 7.4 nm were synthesized using a closed-field unbalanced magnetron sputtering method. Their crystalline structure, chemical compositions and mechanical properties have been investigated with Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, atomic force microscopy, nanoindentation, scratch tests. The properties of the multilayer coatings varied strongly depending upon the magnitude of the bilayer period. The multilayer coating with a bilayer period of 1.8 nm showed the maximum hardness and an elastic modulus of approximately 37.6 and 417 GPa, respectively, which was 1.54 times higher than the hardness predicted by the rule of mixture from the CrN and AlN coatings. The hardness of the multilayer coating increased as the bilayer period decreased, i.e. as the rotation speed increased. The Hall-Petch type relationship, hardness being related to (1/periodicity)$^{-1/2}$, suggested by Lehoczky was confirmed for the CrN/AlN multilayer coatings with bilayer period close to the 5-10 nm range. With decreasing bilayer period, the surface morphology of the films became rougher and the critical load of films for adhesion strength gradually decreased.

코팅 층과 소지 사이의 접합력 평가를 위하여 박리 시험법(Peel Off Test), 블리스터 시험법(Blister Test), 압입균열 시험법(Indentation Test), 직접 인장 시험법(Direct Full Off Test), 스카치 테이프 시험법(Scotch Tape Test), 그리고 스크래치 시험법(Scratch Test) 등이 사용되어 왔다. 이 중 박리 시험법과 스카치 테이프 시험법이 산업계에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있다. 전자 산업계에서 많이 사용되고 있는 박리시험법은 금속박막과 절연체 기판 사이의 접합력을 간단하게 측정할 수 있으며, 실험값의 재현성이 뛰어난 장점이 있다. 또한, 측정하는 동안 만들어지는 박리 곡선(Peel Curve)로부터 분석의 신뢰성 여부를 확인할 수 있다. 이러한 장점에도 불구하고 박리 시험법 특성 상 금속 코팅층의 강도가 금속 피막/기판간 접합 강도를 초과하여야 하기 때문에 수백 nm 이하의 박막의 접합력 측정에는 적용하기가 어렵다. 이에 반하여, 스카치 테이프 분석법은 일정길이의 접착 테이프를 박막 표면에 붙인 후 다시 떼어내면서 접착력을 평가하는 방법으로, 박막의 접합력 평가에 적용이 가능하다. 그러나 이 방법은 합격 불합격 여부를 판정하는 정성적인 방법으로 정량평가가 어렵다. 또한, 박막에 접착 테이프를 붙일때의 압력, 테이프를 박리할 때의 각도 및 속도를 일정하게 제어하기가 쉽지 않아 결과의 신뢰성이 높지 않다. 스크래치 테스트는 탐사침(Stylus)을 이용하여 박막의 표면에 하중을 증가시키면서 기판을 이동하여, 피막의 균열이나 박리될 때의 임계 하중값 (Critical Load; Lc)을 측정하는 방법이다. 이 방법은 시편 준비가 쉽고 간단하여 빠른 분석이 가능하고, 수백 nm 이하의 박막에도 적용 가능하다. 또한, 접합력을 정량화 할 수 있기 때문에 변수에 따른 접합력 비교가 용이하다는 장점이 있다. 이와 같은 분석적 장점에도 불구하고, 스크래치 시험을 통한 접합력 측정 방법은 아직까진 산업적으로 널리 활용되지 못하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 스크래치 테스트의 원리 및 이론에 대하여 간략히 알아보고, 스크래치 분석을 이용한 접합력 비교에 대한 실제 사례들을 소개하고자 하였다.

A parametric study has been conducted to evaluate the effects of finite element modeling methods on the internal loads, sizing and the weight of the multi-spar aircraft wing structures. The wing is idealized into total 18finite element models and subjected to 4typical external load conditions. An automatic sizing algorithm based on MSC/NASTRAN and MSC/PATRAN is developed. The results show that the critical part affection the internal loads and weight of the structure is wing skin. Effect of modeling of the spar and rib on the structural behavior is not manifest. On the contrast to the general expectation, the models using the bending-resistant elements show the heavier weight than ones by the elements without bending stiffness. From this results, designers of multi-spar wing are recommended to construct the finite element model considering the bending stiffness, or to check the characteristics of the structure before modeling.

The object of this paper is to study the general characteristics of overconsolidated silty clays subjected to repeated loading. The samples are first remolded. overconsolidated and a series of strain - controlled triaxial repeated tests are carried out. Generally the relationship of deviator stress - axial strain of overconsolidated clay is similar in pattern to the normally consolidated clay under single load. But the behavior of the pore water pressure build up in the sample subjected to repeated loading is dependent upon the consolidation history and the level of repeated stress. Therefore through the series of the tests, the characteristics of stress -strain relationship of soils which are differentlly overconsolidated are investigated, analysed and then compared with each soils. And also, from the relationship of test results, the strength and strain characteristics of soils are obierved. The equilibrium lines which presents the critical repeated stress and equilibrium state in the sample under repeated loading, are often straight, but may be curved. And the tendency of the equilibrium lines is observed as to the variation of overconsolidation ratio.

Bond strength of luting cements to dentin is a critical consideration for success of complete cast crowns. This study was performed to evaluate the relationship between surface characteristics of teeth prepared for complete cast crowns and retention of cemented restorations. Eighty artificial crowns were cast for standardized complete crown tooth preparations accomplished with the use of a special device on recently extracted human teeth. Coarse diamond(#102R, Shofu) and superfine finishing diamond(#SF102R, Shofu) burs of similar shape were used. Crowns in each group were randomly subdivided into few subgroups of 10 for luting cements selected for this study: zinc phosphate cement (FLECK' S), polycarboxylate cement (Poly-F), rein-forced glass ionomer cement (Fuji PLUS). and adhesive resin cement (Panavia 21). Retention was evaluated by measuring the tensile load required to dislodge the artificial crown from tooth preparations with an Instron testing machine, and analysed by one-way ANOVA and Student's t-test. The obtained results were as follows ; 1. When tooth preparation was done with coarse diamond bur, retentive force was diminished in order of Panavia 21 Fuji PLUS, FLECK'S, and Poly-F. Retentive forces showed the significant difference between Fuji PLUS group and FLECK'S group(p<0.001). 2. When tooth preparation was done with superfine diamond bur, retentive force was diminished in order of Fuji PLUS, Panavia 21, FLECK'S, and Poly-F. Retentive forces showed the significant difference between Panavia 21 group and FLECK'S group(p<0.001). 3. Retentive force in coarse tooth surfaces was significantly higher than that in superfine tooth surface with all luting cements(p<0.001), and cement residues were almost retained with-in the cast crown in all groups.

In modern society, the energy-saving problem of industrial vehicles is economically and environmentally critical. Energy savings using the potential energy of forklifts are one of the viable solutions to resolving this problem. The basic concept of this study is to operate the hydraulic motor and recharge the battery using the flow rate from the cylinder when loading heavy objects and lowering the fork. To save energy, the torque and rotational speed of the generator should be optimized according to the load and descent speed to increase efficiency. To this end, we propose a system that optimizes energy saving efficiency by controlling the swashplate angle of the variable hydraulic motor through the GA(Genetic-Algorithm). The results were verified by building and comparing fixed motor models and variable motor models using the AMEsim. The results of the study show that the proposed optimized swashplate angle increases the energy saving efficiency by approximately 6%-8%, depending on the working conditions.

The results of diagnostics and analysis of an industrial hall located on the premises of a thermal power plant severely damaged by fire are presented in the paper. The comprehensive failure-related diagnostics, non-destructive and destructive tests of steel and concrete materials, geodetic surveying of selected structural members, numerical modelling, static analysis and reliability assessment were focused on two basic goals: The determination of the current technical condition of the load bearing structure and the assessment of its post fire resistance as well as assessing the degree of damage and subsequent design of reconstruction measures and arrangements which would enable the safe and reliable use of the building. The current mechanical properties of the steel material obtained from the tests and measured geometric characteristics of the structural members with imperfections were employed in finite element models to study the post-fire behaviour of the structure. In order to compare the behaviour of the numerically modelled steel roof truss, subjected to the effects of fire, with the real post-fire response of the damaged structure theoretically obtained resistance, critical temperature and the time at which the structure no longer meets the required reliability criteria under its given loading are compared with real values. A very good agreement between the simulated results and real characteristics of the structure after the fire was observed.

Recent growth in LNG market has led dramatic increase in new buildings of LNG carriers and several large LNG carriers are now being constructed by shipbuilders in Korea. Large size LNG carriers has brought keen concerns on the issue regarding safety of cargo containment systems and sloshing impact load which is the critical source of loads on the membrane type containment systems. Up to the present, the best way to properly assess sloshing impact pressures on surrounding walls is a model testing for wide-ranged excitation conditions. These impact pressures obtained from model tests sometimes need to be interpreted to full-scale values and in the near future this necessity will be strengthened for more rigorous and direct safety assessment of LNG cargo containment system. In this paper, a basic experimental study is carried out with two different sized, 2D identically shaped model tanks excited in simple translational motions. Relationships between pressures of different sized model tanks are investigated Model tanks are filled with fresh water and equipped with same sized pressure sensors.

The supercavitating vehicle is an underwater vehicle that is surrounded almost completely by a supercavity to reduce hydrodynamic drag substantially. Since the cruise speed of the vehicle is much higher than that of conventional submarines, the drag force is huge and a buckling may occur. The buckling phenomenon is analyzed in this study through static and dynamic approaches. Critical buckling load and pressure as well as buckling mode shapes are calculated using static buckling analysis and a stability map is obtained from dynamic buckling analysis. When the finite element method (FEM) is used for the buckling analysis, the solver requires a linear static solver and an eigenvalue solver. In this study, these two solvers are integrated and a consolidated buckling analysis module is constructed. Furthermore, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is combined in the buckling analysis module to perform a design optimization computation of a simplified supercavitating vehicle. The simplified configuration includes cylindrical shell structure with three stiffeners. The target for the design optimization process is to minimize total weight while maintaining the given structure buckling-free.

This study was carried out to investigate the fracture behavior and the fracture criterion of yellow lauan(Shorea spp.), when has used for furniture and wood structures, and to offer a reliability for wood structure and basic data for wood fracture criterion in experiments which are fracture tested under mode I, mode II and mixed mode loading condition. The results were summarized as follows; 1. Fractures in specimens which have inclined grain in yellow lauan procedeed from crack tip in the radial direction along the grain. 2. In yellow lauan, $K_{IC}RL$ was 42.1kg/$cm^{3/2}$ and $K_{IIC}RL$ was 15.8kg/$cm^{3/2}$. 3. The fracture criteria of lauan were; ($K_I/K_{IC}$)+($K_{II}/K_{IIC}$)=1 in RL system with inclined grain at $45^{\circ}$, ($K_I/K_{IC}$)+$(K_{II}/K_{IIC})^2$=1 with inclined grain at $15^{\circ}$ and $(K_I/K_{IC})^2$+$(K_{II}/K_{IIC})^2$=1 with inclined grain at $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $75^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$, respectively. 4. The fracture criterion of wood could vary with the species, and the load applying condition. In order to measure the fracture criterion strictly, along with standardization of specimen geometry a large amount of experimental data is needed. 5. $K_{IC}$(critical stress intensity factor) can be predicted by grain angle. As the grain inclined angle increased, $K_{IC}$ and $K_{IIC}$ are increased.
