In this study, the indirect correlation of degradation characteristic and flow behavior in the de-NOx catalyst is investigated experimentally. The inner flow behavior in the de-NOx catalyst is varied from turbulent flow to laminar flow and the degradation of the de-NOx catalyst is remarkably affected by the inner flow. The degradation of the catalyst is increased in the upstream region near the inlet because injected turbulent flow enhances the adhesion of ash particle on the catalyst surface. The degradation of the catalyst near the inlet also governs the overall efficiency of the catalyst. The amount of adhered ash particles on the catalyst surface decreases as they progress downstream. This is due to the inner flow transition from turbulent flow to laminar flow.

In SMA(shape memory alloy), the degradation by fatigue is one of the most important problems to be overcome, when SMA is used for robot-actuator material. The actuator is operated repeatitively for long time and its repeating operation develops the fatigue degradation of SMA. The fatigue degradation changes the transformation temperature and deformation behavior and results in inaccurate operation control of robot. Accordingly, the changing behavior of transformation temperature and deformation which results from repeating operation is to be investigated in advance and the scheme to resolve those problems have to be made for the design of actuator. In this study, the fatigue tests were carried out on SMA specimens prepared to have different condition of aging time and pre-strain with the direct-current heating-cooling method, which was a general method of operation in robot actuators. The behavior of transformation temperature and deformation were examined and analyzed in each specimen and the study was performed to establish the optimistic manufacturing condition of SMA against the fatigue degradation.

This paper aims to investigate the strength degradation of reinforced concrete piers wrapped with steel plates which corrode at the pier base by employing a three dimensional elasto-plastic finite element formulation. The prediction accuracy of the employed finite element analysis method is firstly verified by comparing the analytical results with test results. Then, a series of parametric studies is carried out to investigate the effects of steel plate's corrosion position along width direction, corrosion depth along plate thickness, corrosion range along width direction, and steel plate-concrete bonding degradation on the strength of the piers. It is observed that the strength degradation of the piers is closely related to steel plate's corrosion position, corrosion depth and corrosion range in the case of local corrosion on the webs. In contrast, when the base of flanges corrodes, the strength degradation of the piers is only related to steel plate's corrosion depth and corrosion range, and the influence of corrosion position on the strength degradation is very gentle. Furthermore, the strength of the piers decreases with the degradation of steel plate-concrete bonding behavior. Finally, the maximum strength of the piers obtained from numerical analysis corresponding to different bonding behavior is compared with theoretical results within an accepted error.

본 논문은 터널을 구성하고 있는 구성요소(지보재, 주변지반)들의 열화로 인한 터널의 장기거동을 수치해석을 이용하여 예측/분석하였다. 터널의 구성요소들은 시간이 지남에 따라 열화를 겪게 된다. 이러한 열화로 인해 터널의 장기적인 안정성을 예측하는 것은 매우 중요한 이슈이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 열화를 예측하는 모델을 제시하였으며, 이 모델은 두 개의 파라미터로 구성되어 있다. 그 중 하나는 부재 및 주변지반의 열화로 인해 남아있는 잔류강도를 나타내며, 나머지 하나는 열화되는 모양을 표시한다. 제안한 열화 모델을 이용하여 수치해석을 수행하여 터널의 장기거동을 예측하였다. 그 결과 열화로 인해 터널 주변 지반의 이완응력이 증가하여 터널의 장기적인 안정성에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Material degradation of Cr steels in boiler tubes was accompanied by the microstructural changes including carbide behavior and crack formation. The microstructural change and the mechanical behavior of hardness and creep properties in accelerated heat-treatments were studied in order to identify the material degradation of the X20 Cr steel. The degradation behavior was occurred in the hardness increasing followed by decreasing due to carbide dissolution and precipitation.

This study examined the degradation behavior of SB(standard berberine) dye and SB dyed silk using HPLC-MS instrument after degradation in the hydrogen peroxide/ultraviolet ray radiation/oxygen system up to 9 days and 40 hours respectively. In the degraded samples, berberine was detected at 5.2 min in the SB dye and 5.3 min in the SB dyed silk with its molecular ion=336 and the UV spectra of quaternary alkaloid. Degradation product 3(m/z=102) newly appeared after 5 day degradation treatment with continued increase till the end of degradation treatment. The amount of berberine in the degraded dye decreased with degradation progression. In the silk dyeings, berberine was detected only up to 21 hour degradation sample. The amount of berberine decreased dramatically during the first 6 hours of degradation treatment. The CIELAB color measurement of the silk dyeings showed dramatic change in the b* value, near zero in the 40 hour degraded silk. CIELAB and Munsell color measurements were in agreement with the HPLC-MS results of the dyed silk in the change of berberine content that the degraded silk became white and lost yellow color.

The effect of forward and reverse electrostatic discharge (ESD) on the electro-optical characteristics of oxide vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers is investigated using a human body model for the purpose of understanding degradation behavior. Forward ESD-induced degradation is complicated, showing three degradation phases depending on ESD voltage, while reverse ESD-induced degradation is relatively simple, exhibiting two phases of degradation divided by a sudden distinctive change in electro-optical characteristics. We demonstrate that the increase in the threshold current is mainly due to the increase in leakage current, nonradiative recombination current, and optical loss. The decrease in the slope efficiency is mainly due to the increase in optical loss.

다양한 열화 인자에 의해 저감된 콘크리트의 내구성은 구조물의 구조적 성능과 사용 수명에 부정적인 영향을 미치게 되며 콘크리트 연구 분야 중에서도 매우 중요하고 매력적인 주제라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 이유로 콘크리트의 내구성과 관련된 많은 연구들이 발표되었으나 물리-화학적 열화에 기인하는 콘크리트의 본질적인 물성 변화에 주된 초점이 맞춰져 왔으며, 콘크리트 내구성과 구조물의 구조적 성능 사이의 관계 정립은 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트의 강도 감소에 원인이 되는 칼슘 용출 열화를 적용하였으며, 열화 정도에 따른 구조적 거동을 평가하기 위하여 열화 손상을 입은 콘크리트 부재의 압축 및 휨 거동 실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 비선형 유한요소해석 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면 칼슘 용출 열화는 콘크리트의 압축 강도를 저하시키며, 열화가 진행됨에 따라 취성 거동에서 연성 거동으로 변화되는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한 열화에 의한 압축 영역의 손상 정도가 심화될수록 RC 부재의 내하력과 강성은 저하되었으며, 이러한 구조적 거동은 ABAQUS의 CDP 모델을 사용한 비선형 유한요소해석의 결과와도 비교적 잘 일치하였다.

This paper investigated the effect of biodegradation behavior on the oxidation of cellulose nanofiber mats. The cellulose mats were produced through electro spinning. The diameter of an electrospun fiber varied from 90 to 240 nm depending on the electrospinning parameters, such as the solution concentration, needle diameter, and rotation speed of a grounded collector. Oxidized cellulose (OC).mats containing different carboxyl contents were prepared using $NO_2$ as an oxidant. The total carboxyl content of the cellulose nanofiber mats obtained after oxidation for 20 h was $20.6\%$. The corresponding carboxyl content was important from a commercial point of view because OC containing $16-24\%$ carboxyl content are used widely in the medical field as a form of powder or knitted fabric. Degradation tests of the OC mats were performed at $37^{\circ}C$ in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4). Microscopy techniques were introduced to study the morphological properties and the degradation behavior of the OC mats. Morphological changes of the mats were visualized using optical microscopy. Within 4 days of exposure to PBS, the weight loss of the OC mats was $>90\%$.
