Plain concrete is a brittle material with a very low tensile strength compared to compressive strength and critical tensile strain. This study analyzed the dynamic characteristics of high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites based on slurry-infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON-based HPFRCC), which maximizes the steel-fiber volume fraction and uses high-strength mortar to increase resistance to loads, such as explosion and impact, with a very short acting time. For major experimental variables, three levels of fiber aspect ratio and five levels of fiber volume fraction between 6.0% and 8.0% were considered, and the flexural strength and toughness characteristics were analyzed according to these variables. Furthermore, three levels of the aspect ratio of used steel fibers were considered. The highest flexural strength of 65.0 MPa was shown at the fiber aspect ratio of 80 and the fiber volume fraction of 7.0%, and the flexural strength and toughness increased proportionally to the fiber volume fraction. The test results according to fiber aspect ratio and fiber volume fraction revealed that after the initial crack, the load of the SIFCON-based HPFRCC continuously increased because of the high fiber volume fraction. In addition, sufficient residual strength was achieved after the maximum strength; this achievement will bring about positive effects on the brittle fracture of structures when an unexpected load, such as explosion or impact, is applied.

In the solid freeform fabrication (SFF) system using selective laser sintering (SLS), polyamide-12 powder is currently recognized as general material. In this study, some kinds of polyamide-6 powders with different shape and particlesize were fabricated to investigate the formability, the microstructure and mechanical properties. Also, to develop a more elaborate and rapid system, this study employs a new SLS device with a 3-axis dynamic focusing scanner system instead of the existing fe lens used in commercial SLS. Polyamide-6 powders having the average size of 100 m were treated thermally in order to keep the spherical symmetry in shape. These polyamide-6 powders were mixed with polyamide-12 powders having the average size of 50 m to give the bimodal distribution of size. These mixed powders showed the better fabrication in the selective laser sintering process because the smaller particles of polyamide-11 played an important role in the compact packing of powders by filling the void space between the large particles of polyamide-6. Also, Experiments have performed to evaluate the effect of a scanning path and sintering parameters by fabricating the various 3D objects.

The 5xxx series aluminum alloys are recently used in not only marine system but also automotive area because of a low density material, good mechanical properties and better resistance to corrosion. However, Aluminum alloys are less resistant than the purest aluminum such as 1xxx aluminum alloy. Electrochemical anodization technique has attracted in the area of surface treatment because of a simple procedure, a low-cost efficiency than other techniques such as lithography and a large volume of productivity, and so on. Here, The relationship between the corrosion behavior and the thickness of aluminum anodic oxide have been studied. Prior to anodization, The 5052 aluminum sheets ($30{\times}20{\times}1mm$) were degreased by ultra-sonication in acetone and ethanol for 10 minutes and eletropolished in a mixture of perchloric acid and ethanol (1:4, volume ratio) under an applied potential of 20V for 60 seconds to obtain a regular surface. During anodization process, Aluminum alloy was used as a working electrode and a platinum was used as a counter electrode. The two electrodes were separated at a distance of 5cm. The applied voltage of anodization is conducted at 40V in a 0.3M oxalic acid solution at $0^{\circ}C$ with appropriate magnetic stirring. The surface morphology and the thickness of AAO films was observed with a Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The corrosion behavior of all samples was evaluated by an open-circuit potential and potentio-dynamic polarization test in 3.5wt% NaCl solution. Thus, The corrosion resistance of 5052 aluminum alloy is improved by the formation of an anodized oxide film as function of increase anodization time which artificially develops on the metal surface. The detailed electrochemical behavior of aluminum 5052 alloy will be discussed in view of the surface structures modified by anodization conditions such as applied voltages, concentration of electrolyte, and temperature of electrolyte.

Today, as railways increase their capacity and speeds, it is more important than ever to be completely aware of the state of vehicles fleet's condition to ensure the highest quality and safety standards, as well as being able to maintain the costs as low as possible. Operation of a modern, dynamic and efficient railway demands a real time, accurate and reliable evaluation of the infrastructure assets, including signal networks and diagnostic systems able to acquire functional parameters. In the conventional system, measurement data are reliably collected using coaxial wires for communication between sensors and the repository. As sensors grow in size, the cost of the monitoring system can grow. Recently, auto-powered wireless sensor has been considered as an alternative tool for economical and accurate realization of structural health monitoring system, being provided by the following essential features: on-board micro-processor, sensing capability, wireless communication, auto-powered battery, and low cost. In this work, an original harvester device is designed to supply wireless sensor system battery using train bogie energy. Piezoelectric materials have in here considered due to their established ability to directly convert applied strain energy into usable electric energy and their relatively simple modelling into an integrated system. The mechanical and electrical properties of the system are studied according to the project specifications. The numerical formulation is implemented with in-house code using commercial software tool and then experimentally validated through a proof of concept setup using an excitation signal by a real application scenario.

The physiological characteristics of the neurons receiving the ventral root afferent inputs were investigated in the cat. A total of 70 cells were identified in the lumbosacral spinal cord. All these cells responded only to the C-strength stimulation of the distal stump of cut ventral root and the estimated conduction velocities of the VRA fibers were not faster than 4 m/sec. The majority of them were silent in resting state. For 49 cells, their peripheral receptive fields were characterized. Among them, 25 cells were exclusively excited by VRA inputs, 8 were inhibited and the remaining cells recevied both excitatory and inhibitory VRA inputs. According to the response pattern to the mechanical stimuli applied to their receptive fields, only a fourth of them were typical high threshold cell, a sixth, wide dynamic range cells, while remainings were a rather complex cells. Most of the cells receiving VRA inputs, received only the A ${\delta}-peripheral$ nerve inputs. Intravenous injection of morphine decreased the response of spinal cells to the VRA activation. The responses were abolished completely by counter irritation to the common peroneal nerve with C-strength-low frequency stimuli. These physiological properties of the spinal neurons receiving the VRA inputs are differ in some aspect from the spinal neurons receiving nociceptive inputs from the periphery, but still were consistent with the contention that VRA system might carry nociceptive informations arising from the spinal cord and/or neraby surrounding tissues.

타입 1 콜라겐 단백질은 인체 내에서 가장 많이 존재하는 단백질이다. 이 단백질은 점탄성 거동을 보이며 이는 힘줄에서도 찾아볼 수 있다. 분자동역학 시뮬레이션 방법에는 rescaling 방법과 reassignment 방법으로 온도를 조절할 수 있다. rescaling 방법은 온도를 주어진 온도로 책정하는 방법이고, reassignment 방법은 원하는 온도로 맥스웰 분포를 이용하여서 온도를 책정하는 방법이다. 우리는 reassignment 방법에서 콜라겐 단백질의 거동이 시간에 따라서 변화하는 현상을 찾아내었다. 반면에 rescaling 방법에서는 시간에 무관하게 거동하였다. 콜라겐에 다른 속도로 인장을 가하였을 경우, 예를 들어 0.5, 1, 2, 5 Å/ps의 속도로 40 Å까지 힘을 가했을 경우, rescaling 방법에서는 속도에 따른 변화가 거의 없었던 반면, reassignment 방법의 경우 대략 80nm, 100nm, 130nm, 180nm까지 인장이 되었음을 보여준다. 이 현상에 대한 물리학적 의미를 명확하게 규명하지는 못하였지만, 단백질에 관한 시뮬레이션을 실행하는데 있어서 주의를 기울여 수행하여야 한다는 점에서 이 논문의 가치가 있다고 생각한다.

본 연구에서는 구조용강재의 샤르피 충격시험(Charpy Impact Test)을 통해 저온에서의 충격 인성(Impact Toughness) 평가를 실시하여 사용 가능 온도를 파악함으로써 강재의 극한지 적용성을 검토하였다. 본 시험에 사용된 강재는 용접구조용강 중 현재 가장 널리 쓰이는 강종인 SM490B와 TMCP (Thermo-Mechanical Control Process)법에 의해 제조된 고강도 강재인 SM570-TMC이다. 또한, 본 시험결과와의 비교를 위해 남극 세종기지 건설시 사용실적이 있는 일반구조용강인 SS400에 대해서도 시험을 수행하였다. 대부분의 강구조물은 용접에 의해 제작되므로, 강재의 극한지 적용성 검토를 위해 용접시험판을 제작하여 모재(Base Metal), 용접금속(Weld Metal) 및 열양향부(Heat Affected Zone)에 대해서 충격시험을 실시하였다. 단, SS400의 경우에는 용접구조용강재가 아니므로 모재에 대해서 충격시험을 실시하였다. 대상 강재의 샤르피 충격시험을 통해서 저온에서의 충격흡수에너지 값을 구하고 이를 강재의 항복응력에 따른 충격흡수에너지의 기준값과 비교함으로써 강재의 사용온도를 결정하였으며, 이를 통해서 구조용강재의 극한지 적용성을 검토하였다.

Silver amalgam has superior mechanical and physical properties, therefore it has been widely used in dental clinics. But we have found the silver amalgam failures frequently, its important reasons are fracture, fallen-out, tarnish, corosion and secondary caries etc. The author studied the compressive strength of silver amalgam. The author made the standardized specimen, prepared the Black's Class II cavity on chromecobalt alloy, and placed the three types of Unitek$^{(R)}$ pin (Type of pins are straight type, "ㄱ" bent type, "$\sqcap$" bent type pin. The compressive strength was measured by (Dynamic Strain Meter Shinko Co. Japan). The author took the following results by comparing with the control group, not used pin. 1) Compressive force of silver amalgam in straight type pin was $187.11{\pm}39.00kg$, $252.98{\pm}31.91kg$ in "ㄱ" type bent pin, $189.00{\pm}37.46Kg$ in "$\sqcap$" type bent pin, $172.33{\pm}28.07Kg$ in the control group. 2) The statistic significance of the compressive strnegth between each group showed that "ㄱ" type, bent pin is stronger than the control group or straight type pin. 3) There were no difference of significances between the control group and straight type pin, control group and "ㄱ" type bent pin and "$\sqap$" type bent pin, "ㄱ" type' bent pin "$\sqcap$" and type bent pin.
