Crystallographic characteristics and interfacial structures of $Al_2$$O_3$and $ZrO_2$dielectric films prepared by atomic layer chemical vapor deposition (ALCVD) were investigated at atomic scale by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS)/electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) coupled with a field-emission transmission electron microscope. The results obtained from cross-sectional and plan-view specimens showed that the $Al_2$$O_3$film was crystallized by annealing at a high temperature and its crystal system might be evaluated as either cubic or tetragonal phase. Whereas the $ZrO_2$film crystallized during deposition at a low temperature of ∼$300^{\circ}C$ was composed of both tetragonal and monoclinic phase. The interfacial thickness in both films was increased with the increased annealing temperature. Further, the interfacial structures of X$ZrO_2$$O_3$and $ZrO_2$films were discussed through analyses of EDS elemental maps and EELS spectra obtained from the annealed films, respectively.

Biochemical weapons, called as a poor nation's nuclear-weapon, are most favorable Weapons of Mass Destruction(WMD). At the beginning of war, these biochemical weapons, which can threaten the operations of our forces and cause the anxiety and chaos of people, should be used to attack our principle facilities. And these attacks might be conducted as a long term scenario over the war. Consequentially, our military training as well as civilian-military joint training have been focused on these circumstances to improve defense capability against the invasion of biochemical weapons. Add to these efforts, there have been a lot of researches to develop advanced decontaminations that can secure our troops and equipments. In this study, applicability of the water-soluble decontaminant for the contaminated aircraft was evaluated. The water-soluble decontaminant has been applied to the military stations and ground weapon systems only. According to the theoretical analyses and published papers, the water-soluble decontaminant has been shown better decontamination capability than commercial cleaner by roughly 50%. Furthermore, as a result of experiment efforts in this study, it was showed that the water-soluble decontaminant can reduce corrosion risk which is primary concern for the aircraft structures.

In this study, we investigated the cause of a voltage controller failure that occurred in the operation of a combat vehicle and attempted to establish a solution for the failure. The failure in the voltage controller was found to be related to thermal resistance, which could be identified by disassembly analysis and a high temperature operation test. Especially, in the disassembly analysis, there was damage caused by high temperature such as soot on the molding material and cracking of the resisters. In addition, in the high temperature operation test, the test results show that the internal temperature of the voltage controller was relatively higher than the external temperature. This means that the voltage controller failure could be attributed to the excessive heat and insufficient thermal resistance. In order to improve the thermal resistance of the voltage controller, several designs with changing circuits and structures were devised. Improvement of thermal resistance was verified by measuring reduction of internal temperatures in the high temperature comparison test.

A study on mechanical property characterization and modeling technique was carried out to approximate the behaviour of structures with 2.5D C/SiC material. Several tensile tests were performed to analyze the behaviour characteristics of the 2.5D C/SiC material and elastic property was characterized by applying a mathematical homogenization and a modified rule of mixture. SiC matrix representing the elasto-plastic behavior approximates as a bilinear function. Then the equivalent yield strength and equivalent plastic stiffness were calculated by minimizing errors in experiment and approximation. RVE(Representative Volume Element)was defined from the fiber and matrix configuration of 2.5D C/SiC and a process of calculating the effective stiffness matrix by applying the modified rule of mixture to RVE was implemented in the ABAQUS User-defined subroutine. Finite element analysis was performed by applying the mechanical properties of fiber and matrix calculated based on the proposed process, and the results were in good agreement with the experimental results.

Helicopter rotor systems are dynamically loaded structures with many composite components such as the main and the tail rotor blades. The fatigue properties of composite materials are extremely important to design durable and reliable helicopter rotor blades. The safe-life methodology has generally been used in the helicopter industry to substantiate dynamically loaded composite components. However, it cannot be used to evaluate the strength reducing effects of flaws and defects that may occur during manufacturing and operational usage. The damage tolerance methodology provides a proper means to overcome this shortcoming; however, it is difficult to economically apply it to every composite component. The flaw tolerant methodology is an equivalent option to the damage tolerance methodology for civil and military rotorcraft. In this study, the flaw tolerant safe-life evaluation is described and illustrated by means of successful application to substantiate the retirement time of composite rotor blades.

This paper presents low temperature structural tests of a UAV wing which has room temperature-curing adhesive bond. The wing structure is made of carbon fiber reinforced composites, and the skins are bonded to the inner structures (such as ribs and spars) using room temperature-curing adhesive bond. Also, to verify damage tolerance design of the wing structure, barely visible impact damages are intentionally created in the critical areas. The attachment fittings of the wing are fixed in a specially designed chamber which can simulate the low temperature environments of the operating altitudes. The test load is applied by hydraulic actuators which are placed outside the chamber. The structural tests consist of strain survey tests and a durability test for 1-life fatigue load spectrum. During the tests, strains of major parts are measured by strain gauges and FBG sensors. The change of the initial impact damages is also monitored using piezoelectric sensors. The 1-life damage tolerance of the composite structure is verified by the structural tests under the simulated environments.

The advancement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is accelerating innovation across society, and the defense sector is no exception as it adopts technologies aligned with the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In particular, the Army is making efforts to establish an advanced Army TIGER 4.0 system, aiming to create highly intelligent and interconnected mobile units. To achieve this, the Army is integrating cutting-edge scientific and technological advancements from the Fourth Industrial Revolution to enhance mobility, networking, and intelligence. However, the existing addressing system, IPv4, has limitations in meeting the exponentially increasing demands for network IP addresses. Consequently, the military considers IPv6 address allocation as an essential process to ensure efficient network management and address space provisioning. This study proposes an approach for IPv6 address allocation for the future military, considering the Army TIGER system. The proposal outlines how the application networks of the Army can be differentiated, and IP addresses can be allocated to future unit structures of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, from the Ministry of National Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Through this approach, the Army's advanced ground combat system, Army TIGER 4.0, is expected to operate more efficiently in network environments, enhancing overall information exchange and mobility for the future military.

In this paper, the delamination and failures in frequency selected surface(FSS) caused by residual stresses in the FSS embedded hybrid composites due to the difference between the coefficients of thermal expansion of components and the transmission characteristic changes due to deformation of FSS patterns by residual stresses were studied. FSS may have different electromagnetic characteristics depending on the type of element, design variables, and arrangement. Design variables of dipole FSS were determined using PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization) to obtain the transmission characteristic for the target resonant frequency. Subsequently, the design variables of other types of N-pole(tripole, cross dipole, and Jerusalem cross) were determined based on the dimensions of the dipole for the comparisons of residual stresses of FSS embedded composite structures and transmission characteristics. In addition, effects of FSS pattern, and stacking sequence of composite laminates were considered.

2,6-Dinitrophenol (2,6-DNP) complexes with lanthanide series including yttrium (except Pm, Tm, and Lu) have been synthesized and their crystal structures have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction methods. Singlecrystal X-ray structure determinations have been performed at 296 K on the Ce$\rightarrow$Yb species and shown them to be isomorphous, triclinic, P1, a = 8.6558(2)$\rightarrow$8.5605(3) $\AA$, b = 11.8813(3)$\rightarrow$11.6611(4) $\AA$, c = 13.9650(3) $\rightarrow$13.8341(5) $\AA$, $\alpha$ = 73.785(1)$\rightarrow$73.531(2)o, $\beta$ = 74.730(1)→74.903(2)${^{\circ}}$, $\gamma$ = 69.124(1)→ 69.670 $(2){^{\circ}}$, V = 1266.86(5)→1221.53(7) $$\AA^{3}$$, Z = 2. In Ln(III) complexes, three 2,6-DNP ligands coordinate directly to the metal ion in the bidentate fashion. The nine coordinated Ln(III) ion forms slightly distorted tri-capped trigonal prism. There are no water molecules in the crystal lattice. The dependences of metal to ligand bond lengths are discussed on the atomic number of lanthanide elements. The thermal properties of lanthanide complexes of 2,6- DNP have also studied by TG-DTG and DSC thermal analysis methods.

Pressure hulls of submerged structures are generally designed as circular cylinders, spheres or cones with form of axisymmetric shell of revolution to withstand the high external pressure of deep ocean. The compressive buckling (implosion) due to hydrostatic pressure is the main concern of structural design of pressure hull and many design codes are provided for it. It is well-known that the buckling behavior of thin shell of revolution is very sensitive to the initial geometric imperfections introduced during the construction process of cutting and welding. Hence, the theoretical solutions for thin shells with perfect geometry often provide much higher buckling pressures than the measured data in tests or real structures and more precise structural analysis techniques are prerequisite for the safe design of pressure hulls. So this paper dealt with various buckling pressure estimation techniques for unstiffened circular cylinder under hydrostatic pressure conditions. The empirical design equations, eigenvalue analysis technique for critical pressure and collapse behaviors of thin cylindrical shells by the incremental nonlinear FE analysis were applied. Finally all the obtained results were compared with those of the pressure chamber test for the aluminium models. The pros and cons of each techniques were discussed and the most rational approach for the implosion of circular cylinder was recommended.
