The surface of AC8A Ah alloy was modified by adding the Cu powder using a Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) welding process. Under the optimum fabricating conditions, the modified surface of AC8A Ah alloy was observed to possess the sound microstructure with a minimum porosity. Hardness and wear resistance properties of the as-fabricated alloy were compared with those of the 76 heat-treated one. In case of the as-fabricated alloy, the hardness of the modified layer was twice that of the matrix region. Although significant increase in the hardness of the matrix region was observed after T6 heat treatment, the hardness of the modified layer was not observed to change. The wear resistance of the modified layer was significantly increased compared to that of the matrix region. The microstructure of a weld zone and the matrix region were investigated using the optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The primary and eutectic silicon in the weld zone were finer and more curved than in the matrix region, while some precipitates has had been found therein. According to the TEM observation, the predominant precipitate present in the weld zone was the $\theta$'phase, which is precipitated during cooling by rapid solidification in PTA welding process. Improvement of hardness and wear properties in the weld zone in the as-fabricated condition can be explained based on the presence of $\theta$’precipitates and fine primary and eutectic silicon distribution.

We present an easy method of preparing two-dimensional (2D) periodic hollow tin oxide ($SnO_2$) hemisphere array gas sensors using polystyrene (PS) spheres as a template. The structures were fabricated by the sputter deposition of thin tin (Sn) metal over an array of PS spheres on a planar substrate followed by calcination at an elevated temperature to oxidize Sn to $SnO_2$ while removing the PS template cores. The $SnO_2$ hemisphere array structures were examined by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The structures were calcined at various temperatures and their sensing properties were examined with varying operation temperatures and concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) gas. Their gas-sensing properties were investigated by measuring the electrical resistances in air and the target gases. The measurements were conducted at different NO concentrations and substrate temperatures. A minimum detection limit of 30 ppb, showing a sensitivity of S = 1.6, was observed for NO gas at an operation temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ for a sample having an Sn metal layer thickness corresponding to 30 sec sputtering time and calcined at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr in air. We proved that high porosity in a hollow $SnO_2$ hemisphere structure allows easy diffusion of the target gas molecules. The results confirm that a 2D hollow $SnO_2$ hemisphere array structure of micronmeter sizes can be a good structural morphology for high sensitivity gas sensors.

Purpose: Designing equipment for processing, sorting, and other post-harvest operations of agricultural products requires information about their physical properties. This study was conducted to investigate some of the mechanical and physical properties of Moringa oleifera L. pods and seeds. Methods: Properties such as the length, width, thickness, bulk density, porosity, mass, static coefficient of friction, and angle of repose were determined as a function of moisture content. Statistical data and force-deformation curves obtained at each loading orientation and moisture level were analyzed for bioyield point, bioyield strength, yield force, rupture point, and rupture strength using a testrometric machine. Result: The basic dimensions (length, width, and thickness) of moringa pods and seeds were found to increase linearly from 311.15 to 371.45 mm, 22.79 to 31.22 mm, and 22.24 to 29.88 mm, respectively, in the moisture range of 12 to 49.5% d.b. The coefficient of friction for both pods and seeds increased linearly with an increase in moisture content on all the surfaces used. The highest value was recorded on mild steel, with 0.581 for pods and 0.3533 for seeds, and the lowest on glass for pods, with a value of 0.501, and of 0.2933 for seeds on galvanized steel. The bioyield and rupture forces, bioyield and rupture energies, and deformation of the pods decreased with an increase in moisture content to a minimum value, then increased with further decrease within the moisture content range, while the yield force increased to a maximum value and then decreased as the moisture content increased. Conclusion: These results will help to determine the most suitable conditions for processing, transporting, and storing moringa pods, and to provide relevant data useful in designing handling and processing equipment for the crop.

Purpose: When casting of ceramics, proper amount of deflocculant was added for disperse the particles in slip. In this study, examined the optimum amount of APMA(ammonium polymethaacrylate) water as deflocculant for casting the zirconia. Methods: The 100 g of zirconia powder were ball milled with 300 g zirconia ball, 90 g of distilled water, and APMA water in polyethylene pot for 24 hours. The amount of APMA water were added as deflocculant from 0.5 to 0.9 g at an intervals of 0.1 g. The viscosity of slip with no deflocculant showed 1362c.p. and the minimum viscosity with 580c.p. obtained when the slip contained 0.7% of deflocculant. Bar type specimens were casted with plaster mold and biscuit fired at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 1 hours. Biscuit fired specimens were finished with $60mm(L){\times}14mm(W){\times}10mm(H) bar$. Finished specimens were 2nd fired at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. Results: Regardless the addition of deflocculant, all 2nd fired specimens showed 0% of apparent porosity and water absorption. The specimens with no deflocculant showed 24% of drying shrinkage and 27.4% firing shrinkage. On the other hand, The specimens with deflocculant showed 17.4% of drying shrinkage and 17.6% firing shrinkage regardless the amount of deflocculant. The maximum bulk density with $6.09g/cm^3$ obtained when the specimens casted with 0.7~0.9% of deflocculant contained slips. Bend strength of specimen with no deflocculant showed 680 MPa and the maximum bend strength with 814 MPa obtained when the specimen casted with 0.7% of diflocculant contained slip. Conclusion : It was found that the particle shape of the powder according to the dispersing agent is added, the particle size, sintering temperature and affect the particle size distribution, sintering time, sintering atmosphere, such a great influence on the sintering.

In this study, forced vibration behavior of a piezo magneto electric sandwich Timoshenko beam is investigated. It is assumed a sandwich beam with porous core and graphene platelet reinforced composite (GPLRC) in facesheets subjected to magneto-electro-elastic and temperature-dependent material properties. The magneto electro platelets are under linear function along with the thickness that includes a cosine function and magnetic and electric constant potentials. The governing equations of motion are derived using modified strain gradient theory for microstructures. The effects of material length scale parameters, temperature change, different distributions of porous, various patterns of graphene platelets, and the core to face sheets thickness ratio on the natural frequency and excited frequency of a sandwich Timoshenko beam are scrutinized. Various size-dependent methods effects such as MSGT, MCST, and CT on the natural frequency is considered. Moreover, the final results affirm that the increase in porosity coefficient and volume fractions lead to an increase in the amount of natural frequency; while vice versa for the increment in the aspect ratio. From forced vibration analysis, it is understood that by increasing the values of volume fraction and the length thickness of GPL, the maximum deflection of a sandwich beam decreases. Also, it is concluded that increasing the temperature, the thickness of GPL, and the initial force leads to a decrease in the maximum deflection of GPL. It is also shown that resonance phenomenon occurs when the natural and excitation frequencies become equal to each other. Outcomes also reveal that the third natural frequency owns the minimum value of both deflection and frequency ratio and the first natural frequency has the maximum.

최근 도로시설물에 작용되는 하중을 저감시키기 위하여 다양한 기술이 개발되고 있으며, 그 중 풍하중 저감을 위한 유공판을 사용하는 기술이 일부 적용 중에 있다. 현재 국내 도로시설물 설계기준에서는 유공판의 항력계수에 대한 규정은 마련되어 있지 않다. 미국의 구조물 설계기준 'Minimum design loads for buildings and other structures'에서는 Letchford(2001)와 Giannoulis(2012)의 연구 내용을 바탕으로 건축물과 도로시설물의 유공판 항력계수 내용이 개정되었다. 본 연구에서는 유공판 항력계수 규정에 대한 준용 가능성을 분석하고자 관련 풍동실험을 수행하였다. 더불어 풍동실험 결과 값과 미국 설계기준의 항력계수 값을 비교 분석하였으며, 미국 설계기준 항력계수를 적용한 도로표지 지주 및 가로재의 부재 단면적 감소효과를 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구의 풍동 실험 결과 값과 미국 설계기준 값이 매우 유사한 수준으로 도출되었으며, 이에 따라 유공판 항력계수에 대한 준용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 항력계수 설계기준의 준용에 따른 유공형 도로표지 구조물의 단면적 감소효과 분석 결과, 지주는 약 9.45%, 가로재는 6.45%의 단면적이 감소하였다. 지주와 가로재를 합친 유공형 도로표지의 전체 구조물은 약 6.45%의 단면적 감소효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

최근 수십년간의 산업화로 인해 인간중심의 하천 개발이 이루어진 결과, 하천의 직강화 및 복개화 등 오수 및 하수의 배출구로만 활용되어 집중호우 등의 수해가 반복되어 발생하고 있어 이에 대해 하천 및 제방의 사면을 각종 공법을 통하여 손상을 방지하고 있으나, 관련 기준에서는 비탈높이, 최소비탈경사 등 최소한의 기준만 제시하고 있는 실정이다. 또한 홍수해 방지를 위한 가장 중요한 특성인 소류력에 대한 검토는 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실규모의 인공실험하천에서 다공성콘크리트 호안블록을 설치하고, 유입유량을 조절하여 각 실험조건에 따른 유속 및 수심을 측정하여 소류력을 평가하였다. 다공성콘크리트블록의 압축강도 및 공극률 시험결과 압축강도는 16.6~23.2 MPa의 범위로 측정되었고, 실측공극률은 10.1%로 나타나 국내 기준을 만족하는 것으로 판단되며, 소류력 시험결과 한계소류력은 $47.202N/m^2$으로, 하천설계실무요령에서 제시된 급류부의 소류력 범위인 $67N/m^2$은 만족하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 블록 및 기반층의 유실이나 손상이 전혀 관찰되지 않았고, 기존 선행연구를 참고하여 볼때 그 이상의 소류력에도 저항력을 가질 수 있을 것을 추정하여 볼 수 있다. 따라서 추후 실험조건 등을 조정하여 실질적인 한계소류력 측정을 위한 실험을 다시 수행할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

Oil and natural gas reserves have been recognised abundantly in clayey rich rock formations in deep costal reservoirs. It is necessary to understand the sedimentary history of those reservoir rocks to well explore these natural resources. This work designs a group of laboratory experiments to mimic the physical process of the sedimentary clay-rich rock formation. It presents characterisation results of the physical properties of the artificial clayey rocks synthesized from illite clay, quartz sand and brine water by high-pressure consolidation tests. Special focus is given on the effects of illite clay content and high-stress consolidation on the physical properties. Multi-step loaded consolidation experiments were carried out with stress up to 35 MPa on mixtures constituting of the illite clay, quartz sand and brine water with five initial illite clay contents (w=85%, 70%, 55%, 40% and 25%). Compressibility and void ratio were characterised throughout the physical compaction process of the mixtures constituting of five illite clay contents and their water permeability was measured as well. Results show that the applied stress induces a great reduction of clayey rock void ratio. Illite clay contents has a significant influence on the compressibility, void ratio and the permeability of the physically synthesized clayey rocks. There is a critical illite clay content w=70% that induces the minimum void ratio in the physically synthesised clayey rocks. The SEM study indicates, in the high-pressure synthesised clayey rocks with high illite clay contents, the illite clay minerals are located in layers and serve as the material matrix, and the quartz minerals fill in the inter-mineral pores or are embedded in the illite clay matrix. The arrangements of the minerals in microscale originate the structural anisotropy of the high-pressure synthesised clayey rock. The test findings can give an intuitive physical understanding of the deep-buried clayey rock basins in energy reservoirs.

무가압함침법에 의한 $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A 복합재료의 제조와, 제조법과 관련하여 부가적인 Mg의 첨가와 강화상의 부피분율이 $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A복합재료의 기계적 성질과 마모저항에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 강화상 입자와 기지재료의 일부를 분말로 조합한 혼합분말 속으로 기지금속을 자발적으로 침투시켜 부피분율이 20~40%인 $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A 복합재료를 제조할 수 있었다. 그러나 강화상의 부피분율이 40%인 복합재료의 경우 기공율의 상승으로 복합재료의 강도는 저하하였다. Mg의 첨가량이 5~7wt% 일 때 가장 높은 강도를 나타냈으며, 경도는 Mg 첨가량의 증가에 따라 점진적으로 상승하였다. $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A복합재료는 저속에서 기지재료에 비해 내마모성이 저하하였으나, 고속에서는 AC8A합금에 비해 약 5.5배의 우수한 내마모성을 나타냈다. 마모기구의 관찰에 의해 부피분율 20% $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A복합재료의 경우 연삭마모가 주된 마모기구임을 알 수 있었으며, 부피분율 40% $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A복합재료는 높은 기공율로 인한 마모 가중으로 저속에서도 경미한 응착마모가 관찰됐고 마찰 속도가 증가함에 따라 격심한 마모로 진행되었다.
