The accurate permeability for preform is critical to model and design the impregnation of fluid resin in the composite manufacturing process. In this study, the in-plane and transverse permeability for a woven fabric are predicted numerically through the coupled flow model which combines microscopic with macroscopic flow. The microscopic and macroscopic flow which are flows within the micro-unit and macro-unit cell, respectively, are calculated by using 3-D CVFEM(control volume finite element method). To avoid checker-board pressure field and improve the efficiency on numerical computation, A new interpolation function for velocity is proposed on the basis of analytic solutions. The permeability of plain woven fabric is measured through unidirectional flow experiment and compared with the permeability calculated numerically. Based on the good agreement of the results, the relationships between the permeability and the structures of preform such as the fiber volume fraction and stacking effect can be understood. The reverse and the simple stacking are taken in account. Unlike past literatures, this study is based on more realistic unit cell and the improved prediction of permeability can be achieved. It is observed that in-plane flow is more dominant than transverse flow in the real flow through preform and the stacking effect of multi-layered preform is negligible. Consequently, the proposed coupled flow model can be applied to modeling of real composite materials processing.

The current study deals with the effect of cooling rate and temperature for annealing on medium-carbon Cr-Mo alloy steel, especially for cold heading quality wire rod, to derive the optimum micro-structures for plastic deformation. This is to optimize the spheroidization heat treatment conditions for softening the material. Heat treatment was performed under seven different conditions at a temperature between A_c1 and A_c3, mostly within 720℃ to 760℃, and the main variables at this time were temperature, retention time and cooling rate. Microstructure and phase changes were observed for each test condition, and it was confirmed that they were greatly affected by the cooling rate. It was also confirmed that the cooling rate was changed in the range of 0.1℃/min to 5℃/min and affected by phase deformation and spheroidization fraction. The larger the spheroidization fraction, the lower the hardness, which is associated with the increasing connection of ferrite phases.

This study investigated the growth behavior and characteristics of compounds formed at the interface between a liquid Al-Si-Cu alloy and solid cast iron. Through microstructural analyses, it was observed that various AlFe and AlFeSi phases are formed at the interface, and the relative proportion of each phase changes when small amounts of strontium are added to the Al alloy. The results of the microstructural analysis indicate that the primary phases of the interfacial compounds in the Al-Si-Cu base alloy are Al₈Fe₂Si and Al_4.5FeSi. However, in the Sr-added alloys, significant amounts of binary AlFe intermetallic compounds such as Al₅Fe₂ and Al₁₃Fe₄ formed, in addition to the AlFeSi phases. The inclusion of Sr has a slight diminishing effect on the rate at which the interfacial compounds layer thickens during the time the liquid Al alloy is in contact with the cast iron. The study also discusses the nano-indentation hardness and micro-hardness of the interfacial phases.

In this scientific work, an analytical solution for the dynamic analysis of cross-ply and angle-ply laminated composite plates is proposed. Due to technical issues during the manufacturing of composite materials, porosities and micro-voids can be produced within the composite material samples, which can carry on to a reduction in the density and strength of the materials. In this research, the laminated composite plates are assumed to have new distributions of porosities over the plate cross-section. The structure is modeled using a simple integral shear deformation theory in which the transverse shear deformation effect is included. The governing equations of motion are obtained employing the principle of Hamilton's. The solution is determined via Navier's approach. The Maple program is used to obtain the numerical results. In the numerical examples, the effects of geometry, ratio, modulus ratio, fiber orientation angle, number of layers and porosity parameter on the natural frequencies of symmetric and anti-symmetric laminated composite plates is presented and discussed in detail. Also, the impacts of the kinds of porosity distribution models on the natural frequencies of symmetric and anti-symmetric laminated composite plates are investigated.

A Li-rich cathode material, Li_1.167Mn_0.548Ni_0.18Co_0.105O₂, with a spherical shape and high crystallinity, is prepared using flame spray pyrolysis. The post-heat treatment condition influences the properties of the prepared material, such as its structure, morphology, and chemical composition, and optimum performance is achieved at 900℃. Various excess Li contents (0-12 wt.%) are introduced in the precursor solution to compensate for volatilized Li during synthesis, bringing it close to the target composition. Compensation for volatilized Li enhances the electrochemical performance, i.e., the Li-compensated sample shows a good discharge capacity of 247 mAh g^-1 at a current density of 20 mA g^-1 in a potential window of 4.6-2.5 V. In addition, the prepared Li-rich cathode material supplemented with 9 wt.% of the Li source shows increased discharge capacity of 175 and 148 mAh g^-1 at 200 and 400 mA g^-1, respectively, compared with those of a bare sample (164 and 127 mAh g^-1, respectively).

To reduce manufacturing costs of crystalline silicon solar cells, silicon wafers have become thinner. In relation to this, the properties of the aluminium-back surface field (Al-BSF) are considered an important factor in solar cell performance. Generally, screen-printing and a rapid thermal process (RTP) are utilized together to form the Al-BSF. This study evaluates Al-BSF formation on a (111) textured back surface compared with a (100) flat back surface with variation of ramp up rates from 18 to $89^{\circ}C$/s for the RTP annealing conditions. To make different back surface morphologies, one side texturing using a silicon nitride film and double side texturing were carried out. After aluminium screen-printing, Al-BSF formed according to the RTP annealing conditions. A metal etching process in hydrochloric acid solution was carried out to assess the quality of Al-BSF. Saturation currents were calculated by using quasi-steady-state photoconductance. The surface morphologies observed by scanning electron microscopy and a non-contacting optical profiler. Also, sheet resistances and bulk carrier concentration were measured by a 4-point probe and hall measurement system. From the results, a faster ramp up during Al-BSF formation yielded better quality than a slower ramp up process due to temperature uniformity of silicon and the aluminium surface. Also, in the Al-BSF formation process, the (111) textured back surface is significantly affected by the ramp up rates compared with the (100) flat back surface.

철도 차량에 쓰이는 기존 유입식 형태의 계기용 변압기는 장치 내부에 절연유가 충진 된 형태이므로, 차량 운행 중에 내부 압력이 상승할 수 있는 가능성이 있으며. 그에 따른 폭발위험성이 존재한다. 따라서 폭발 방지를 위해 몰드형 건식 계기용 변압기를 개발 중에 있다. 몰드형 건식 계기용 변압기 개발시 주의 하여야 할 점은 몰드를 구성하는 절연용 에폭시 수지를 주입할 때 권선 코일이 감겨진 코어 주변에 기공이 없어야 한다는 것이다. 이는 몰드 내부의 기공에서 스파크 등의 발생 위험이 있기 때문이다. 몰드 내의 기공 발생 요인으로는, 수지 내에 미세 기공(micro void)이 잔재되어 있는 경우와, 성형 중 함침 구조물의 형태에 따라서 대형 기공(macro void)이 발생할 수 있는 점 등이다. 현재 개발 중인 코어는 변압기 성능 향상을 위해 중공(cavity)이 존재하는 형태이며 점도가 높은 에폭시 주입시 중공 내부에 대형 기공이 갇힐 위험이 있다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는, 몰드 내부에 발생할 수 있는 대형 기공의 형성 과정을 이해하고, 기공 형성 요인을 제거할 수 있는 방안으로, 개선된 성형 조건 적용시 기공 형성 결과를 확인하기 위해, 몰드 충진 과정을 VOF기법을 적용한 자유 표면 유동의 수치해석을 통하여 확인하였다.

나노기술(NT, Nanotechnology)은 분자 및 원자 수준에서 물질을 제작 및 가공할 수 있는 초극미세기술을 의미하며, 재료, 물리, 전자 등의 기존의 기술 분야들을 융합하여 새로운 기술 영역을 구축하는 학제간 연구(Interdisciplinary)가 필요한 분야이다. 국내에서는 탄소나노튜브가 향후 반도체를 견인할 10대 신성장동력 미래기술로 선정되어 활발한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 나노기술이 미소과학 분야라면 우주기술(ST, Space Technology)는 거대 복합과학 분야를 대표하는 기술로서 기계, 재료, 전자, 통신 등의 기술을 활용하는 시스템 기술이다. 우리나라의 우주개발은 선진국 보다 비록40년 가량 늦었지만 15년 남짓한 기간에 기술자립화 단계로 나아가는 비약적인 성과를 보여주고 있다. 전남 고흥에 나로우주센터가 완공되면 우리 땅에서, 우리 위성을, 우리 발사체로 발사할 수 있게 된다. 나노기술분야는 나노재료, 나노전자, 나노제조 등 매우 광범위하므로 우주기술 개발을 위한 제한된 자원의 견지에서, 비용 대비 성능이 가장 우수하게 평가되는 나노 기술적 구성요소들에 집중하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 미국 NASA에서 수행중인 나노기술 개발현황과 유럽의 9차 나노포럼에서 보고한 우주항공분야의 나노기술을 기초로, 현재 우주항공선진국에서 수행중인 개발 현황을 정리하였다. 성능 나노기술의 도움으로 이전에는 불가능하였던 우주 기술이 현실로 다가오고 있는바, 우주개발의 경쟁력을 얻기 위해서는 나노기술을 접목해야만 한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 우리나라는 국가우주개발중장기계획에 따라 2025년 달탐사 착륙선을 개발할 계획이므로, 나노기술을 적극적으로 활용하여 선진국수준의 기술을 확보해야 할 것이다.
