The drop formation dynamics of a shear thinning, elastic, yield stress ($\tau_o$) fluid (Carbopol 980 (poly(acrylic acid)) dispersions) in silicone oil has been investigated in a flow-focusing microfluidic channel. The rheological character of each solution investigated varied from Netwonian-like through to highly non-Newtonian and was varied by changing the degree of neutralization along the poly (acrylic acid) backbone. We have observed that the drop size of these non-Newtonian fluids (regardless of the degree of neutralisation) showed bimodal behaviour. At first we observed increases in drop size with increasing viscosity ratio (viscosity ratio=viscosity of dispersed phase (DP)/viscosity of continuous phase (CP)) at low flowrates of the continuous phases, and thereafter, decreasing drop sizes as the flow rate of the CP increases past a critical value. Only at the onset of pinching and during the high extensional deformation during pinch-off of a drop are any differences in the non-Newtonian characteristics of these fluids, that is extents of shear thinning, elasticity and yield stress ($\tau_o$), apparent. Changes in these break-off dynamics resulted in the observed differences in the number and size distribution of secondary drops during pinch-off for both fluid classes, Newtonian-like and non-Newtonian fluids. In the case of the Newtonian-like drops, a secondary drop was generated by the onset of necking and breakup at both ends of the filament, akin to end-pinching behavior. This pinch-off behavior was observed to be unaffected by changes in viscosity ratio, over the range explored. Meanwhile, in the case of the non-Newtonian solutions, discrete differences in behaviour were observed, believed to be attributable to each of the non-Newtonian properties of shear thinning, elasticity and yield stress. The presence of a yield stress ($\tau_o$), when coupled with slow flow rates or low viscosities of the CP, reduced the drop size compared to the Newtonian-like Carbopol dispersions of much lower viscosity. The presence of shear thinning resulted in a rapid necking event post onset, a decrease in primary droplet size and, in some cases, an increase in the rate of drop production. The presence of elasticity during the extensional flow imposed by the necking event allowed for the extended maintenance of the filament, as observed previously for dilute solutions of linear polymers during drop break-up.

The droplet ejection behavior from drop-on-demand printhead are investigated numerically for Newtonian and shear-thinning fluid. The numerical simulation is performed using a volume-of-fluid model. In this study, we compare the printable range in terms of Z number and pinch-off time for Newtonian and shear-thinning fluids. The printability range are found to be 1.08 $$\leq_-$$ Z $$\leq_-$$ 12.9 for Newtonian fluid and 0.8 $$\leq_-$$ Z $$\leq_-$$ 12.9 for shear-thinning fluid. However, air entrainment is observed during merging of primary and satellite droplet within the printability range. The pinch-off time of the shear-thinning fluid is apparently shorter compared to the corresponding Newtonian fluid due to shear-thinning effects and the differences in the pinch-off time is enlarged significantly when the capillary number is larger than 0.5.

A new lateral MOS controlled thyristor, named Shorted Anode LMCT(SA-LMCT), is proposed and analyzed by a two-dimensional device simulation. The device structure employs the implanted n+ layer which shorts the p+ anode together by a common metal electrode and provides a electron conduction path during turn-off period. The turn-off is achieved by not only diverting the hole current through the p+ cathode short but also providing the electron conduction path from the n-base into the n+ anode electrode. In addition, the modified shorted anode LMCT, which has an n+ short junction located inside the p+ anode junction, is also presented. It is shown that the modified SA-LMCT enjoys the advantage of no snap-back behavior in the forward characteristics with little sacrificing of the forward voltage drop. The simulation result shows that the turn-off times of SA-LMCT can be reduced by one-forth and the maximum controllable current density may be increased by 45 times at the expense of 0.34 V forward voltage drop as compared with conventional LMCT.

Portable communication devices such as laptop computers suffer impact-induced failure in their usage. Drop/impact performance of these products is one of important concerns of product design. Because of the small size of this kind of electronics products, it is very expensive, time-consuming and difficult to conduct drop tests to directly detect the failure mechanism and identify their drop behaviors. Finite element analysis provides a vital, powerful vehicle to solve the problems. The models are created with HYPERMESH, and the analysis is carried out with LS-DYNA3D. The analysis is focused on HDD impact behavior in acceleration peak values.

본 연구에서는 복합재료 팬 블레이드 도브테일 요소의 인장하중에 따른 점진적 파손거동을 유한요소 시뮬레이션을 통한 수치적 연구를 수행하고, 인장시험을 통하여 정확도를 검증한다. 도브테일 요소는 터보 팬 엔진의 팬 블레이드를 디스크와 결합시키는 조인트의 하나로, 통상 티타늄 등의 금속 재료로 제작되나 경량화 등의 이유로 복합재료의 적용이 연구되고 있다. 하지만 복합재료를 이용한 팬 블레이드 제조과정에서 드롭오프 플라이(Drop-off ply), 수지 포켓(resin pocket) 등의 제조 결함이 필연적으로 발생한다. 이러한 제조 결함이 복합재료 팬 블레이드 도브테일 요소에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 유한요소모델을 이용한 수치해석을 수행하여 예측 결과와 인장시험 결과를 비교 분석한다. 이때 층간분리(delamination) 거동을 모사 가능한 응집영역 모델을 적용하였다. 결론적으로, 열 잔류응력 및 두께방향 압축하중에 의한 계면 물성 강화 효과를 고려하여 유한요소 해석결과와 시험결과 간의 높은 상사성을 얻을 수 있었다.

$CF_4$ gas is one of the most useful gases in modern technologies for semiconductor fabrication. However, there are many problems which should be solved in order to fabricate semiconductor device, for example, etching speed drop due to ion charge-up and etching selectivity drop due to the high electron energy. One of useful method in order to suppress their damages above is pulsed-time modulated plasma (PM). However, transient responses of charged particles occur when the source power is turned-on and -off in PM method. To control plasma properties in detail, such a transient phenomenon must be investigated. In this paper, we investigate $CF_4$ RF plasma properties under a one-dimensional fluid model. And also for dynamic and stable control of $CF_4$ plasmas, we investigated the transient behavior of the plasmas after step up or down of the amplitude of the power source voltage $V_s$(t). Fundamental properties of transient $CF_4$ plasmas was discussed. Furthermore, we intend to discuss new method for pulsed-time plasma modulation.

The effects of the local lifetime control on the characteristics of IGBT are investigated using the 2-dimensional device simulator, MEDICI. Many lumped resistive turn-off simulations are carried out to analyze the effects of the minority carrier lifetime, the width, and the position of the region with a reduced local minority carrier lifetime. As a result of these simulations, it is concluded that the on state voltage drop$(V_{CE,SAT})$ is only slightly increased while the switching behavior is greatly improved if the low lifetime region is properly set. And these results are compared with IGBTs having uniform lifetime.

Satellite propulsion system is employed for orbit transfer, orbit correction, and attitude control. The monopropellant feeding system in the low-earth-orbit satellite blowdowns fuel to the thrust chamber. The thrust produced by the thruster depends on fuel amount flowed into the combustion chamber. If the thruster valve be given on-off signal from on-board commander in the satellite, valve will be opened or closed. When the thrusters fire fuel flows through opened thruster valve. Instantaneous stoppage of flow in according to valve actuation produces transient pressure due to pressure wave. This paper describes transient pressure predictions of the KOMPSAT2 propulsion system resulting from latching valve and thrust control valve operations. The time-dependent set of the fluid mass and momentum equations are calculated by Method of Characteristics (MOC).

액적 충돌은 물방울 형성 및 분무 유동 등의 현상을 예측하는데 있어 매우 중요하다. 이러한 액적 충돌은 액적 속도, 충돌 파라미터, 액적 크기비에 영향을 받아, 충돌 후 거동 특성이 결정된다. 충돌 후 액적은 반사, 합일, 스트레칭 분리, 리플렉시브 분리와 같은 거동 특성을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 레벨셋 방법을 사용하여 충돌 후 액적 거동 특성에 대한 이상유동 해석을 수행하였다. 정면충돌 현상에 대한 2차원 축대칭 해석으로부터 합일 및 리플렉시브 분리 현상을, 비중심충돌 현상에 대한 3차원 해석으로부터 합일, 리플렉시브 분리, 스트레칭 분리 현상을 예측할 수 있었다. 이러한 해석 결과는 기존 실험 및 이론적 연구 결과와 일치하는 결과를 보였다. 또한, 초기 액적의 부피비에 대한 수송 방정식을 사용하여 충돌하는 두 액적의 성분을 추적하였다. 이로부터 크기가 다른 두 액적의 정면충돌에 대한 액적 성분 추적을 통해 액적 거동 및 액적 성분에 대해 분석하였다.
