One important test for formation and grading of the lithium-ion battery is to confirm the performance of the battery while discharging battery down to zero volts. In this paper, a novel charge/discharge converter with zero-voltage discharge function is proposed. The proposed converter is able to discharge the battery until the voltage reaches to zero volts. The phase-shifted full bridge method is used to charge the battery and the current-fed push-pull method with bidirectional switches is used for the discharge. The ZVS turn-on is achieved in the charge operation and the ZVS turn-off in the discharge operation. The performance of the system is verified by the experiments using lithium-ion batteries.

The adhesion of electroless plated Ni layer on Al/Si substrates has been investigated. The zincating treatment was conducted with a conventional method and a modified method. In a modified method, ultrasonic agitation was applied during zincating. Adhesion strength was evaluated by a pull-off test. The ultrasonic agitation during zincating increased the nucleation density of Zn particles and refined Zn particle size. the adhesion strength of electroless Ni layer deposited on the modified zincated surface was higher than that on the conventionally zincated surface. the improvement of adhesion was attributed to the fine and dense Zn particles.

The effect of OTS(octadecyltrichlorosilane) SAM(self-assembled monolayer) on the micro-adhesion has been studied. OTS SAM was formed on the Si(100) surface and SPM (scanning probe microscope) tips with different radius of curvature were fabricated by a series of masking and etching processes. Pull-off forces of different tips on Si and OTS SAM surfaces were measured by SPM in different relative humidities. The surface of OTS SAM was changed to hydrophobic surface and the micro-adhesion force of OTS SAM was lower than that of pure Si. As the tip radius of curvature and the relative humidity increased. the micro-adhesion force increased. Based on the test results. the main parameter affected to the micro-adhesion was absorbed humidity on the surface.

The corrosion resistance of epoxy-coated carbon steel was evaluated. The carbon steel surface was subjected to different treatment methods such as steel grit blasting and power tool treatment as well as contamination of water soluble salt. To study the effect of the surface treatments and contamination, the topology of the treated surface was observed by confocal microscopy and a pull-off adhesion test was conducted. The corrosion resistance of the epoxy-coated carbon steel was further examined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) combined with immersion test of 3.5 wt% of NaCl solution. Consequently, the surface contamination by sodium chloride with $16mg/m^2$, $48mg/m^2$ and $96mg/m^2$ didn't affect the adhesion strength for current epoxy coated carbon steel and blister and rust were not observed on the surface of epoxy coating contaminated by various concentration of sodium chloride after 20 weeks of immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl aqueous solutions. In addition, the results of EIS test showed that the epoxy-coated carbon steel treated with steel grit blasting and power tool showed similar corrosion protection performance and surface cleanness such as Sa 3 and Sa 2.5 didn't affect the corrosion protectiveness of epoxy coated carbon steel.

The icing formation at aircraft occur problems such as increasing weight of the body, fuel efficiency reduction, drag reduction, the error of sensor, and etc. The viscosity of polyurethane (PU) topcoat was measured at 60℃ in real time to set the pre-curing time. SiO2 nanoparticles were dispersed in ethanol using ultra-sonication method. The SiO2/ethanol solution was sprayed on PU topcoat that was not cured fully with different pre-curing conditions. Surface roughness of SiO2/PU nanocomposites were measured using surface roughness tester and the surface roughness data was visualized using 3D mapping. The adhesion property between SiO2 and PU topcoat was evaluated using adhesion pull-off test. The static contact angle was measured using distilled water to evaluate the hydrophobicity. Finally, the pre-curing time of PU topcoat was optimized to exhibit the hydrophobicity of SiO2/PU topcoat.

최근 널리 보급되고 있는 치과용 임플란트는 티타늄(Ti) 또는 티타늄 합금(Ti-6Al-4V) 보철과 크라운을 연결하여 사용하고 있다. 티타늄은 생체 친화성이 우수하나, 생체 활성도가 없어 치유기간이 긴 단점이 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해 인체 경조직과 유사한 수산화아파타이트(hydroxyapatite, $Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2)$를 티타늄 임플란트 표면에 코팅하는 방법이 연구되고 있으나 수산화아파타이트 코팅은 티타늄과의 접착성이 나쁘기 때문에 시술 및 사용과정에서 코팅층이 임플란트로부터 박리되는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 티타늄과 수산화아파타이트 사이에서 접착력을 향상시키는 buffer layer로서 지르코니아(8YSZ, 8mol% Yttria-stabilized zirconia)를 연구하였다. 지르코니아는 고온에서 안정하며, 티타늄 합금과 수산화아파타이트 사이의 반응을 방지하며, 박막밀도와 기계적 강도가 좋은 생체세라믹스이다. 지르코니아 박막을 펄스 레이저 증착법을 이용하여 증착 온도 $600^{\circ}C$, 레이저 fluence $2\;J/cm^2$에서 산소($O_2$) 분압을 바꿔 가며 증착하였다. 그 위에 수산화아파타이트 박막을 역시 펄스 레이저 증착법으로 증착하였다. Scratch test와 Pull-off test를 통해 접착력을 평가한 결과 지르코니아 buffer layer 삽입에 의해 티타늄 합금과 수산화아파타이트 사이의 접착력이 향상되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 산소분압이 박막의 특성 및 접착력에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다.

In modern warfare, the importance of electronic warfare, which carries out a mission that using radio wave to find out enemy information or to protect ally information, has increased. Radar jamming technique is one of the most representative techniques of EA(Electronic Attack), it disturbs and deceives enemy radar system in order to secure ally location information. Velocity deception jamming technique, which is one of the radar jamming techniques, generally operate against pulse-doppler radar which use doppler effect in order to track target's velocity and location. Velocity Deception Jamming Technique can be implemented using DRFM(Digital Radio Frequency Memory) that performs Frequency Modulation. In this paper, I describe implementation method of VGPO/VGPI(Velocity Gate Pull-Off/Pull-In) velocity deception jamming technique using phase-sampled DRFM, and verify the operation of VGPO/VGPI velocity deception jamming technique with board test under signal injection condition.

The performance of old and the new concrete construction depends upon bond strength between old and the new concrete. Current adhesive and strength measurement method ignores the effect of stress concentration from shape of specimens. Therefore, this research calculates stress concentration coefficient as the ratio of drilling depth to drilling diameter($h_s/D$), the ratio of overlay thickness to drilling diameter($h_0/D$), the ratio of steel disk thickness to drilling diameter(t/D), the ratio of overlay elastic modulus to substrate modulus($E_1/E_0$), the distance from core to corner border(L_$_{corner}$) and the distance between cores(L_$_{coic}$) vary. The finite element method is adapted to analysis The results from 'the F.E.M analysis are as follows. The stress concentration effects can be minimized when the ratio of drilling depth to drilling diameter($h_s/D$) is 0.20~0.25, the elastic modulus ratio($E_1/E_0$) is 06~1.0, and the ratio of steel disk thickness to drilling diameter(t/D) is 3.0. The overlay thickness, the distance from specimens to corner border(L_$_{corner}$), the distance between cores(L_$_{coic}$) almost do not affect to the stress concentration.

This study has been performed to investigate the effects of glass fiber characteristics on the mechanical properties of thermoplastic composite. The surface of glass fiber was coated with the silan e to enhance the bonding strength between fiber and matrix. A micro-droplet pull-off test was performed to investigate the influence of the silane concentration on the bonding strength. The maximum bonding strength was observed around 10.8% silane concentration. In order to examine the influence of the fiber length and fiber content on the properties of the composite, the composite materials involving tile fiber lengths of 5mm, 10mm, 15mm 20mm, and 25mm were tested. The composites used contain 20%, 30%, and 40% by weight of glass fibers. Tension and flexural tests were performed to investigate their mechanical properties of the composites. The tensile strength and tensile modulus of the composite increase with increasing the glass fiber content. The tensile modulus increases slightly with increasing the fiber length. The maximum tensile strength is observed around the fiber length of 15-20mm. The flexural modulus and strength also increase slightly with increasing the fiber length.
