In this study, reciprocating wear tests are performed on AISI 52100 bearing steel to investigate its tribological behavior in a hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) water solution. The h-BN-based aqueous lubricant is prepared using an atoxic procedure called ultrasonic sonication in pure water. Ball-on-flat reciprocating sliding experiments are conducted, where the ball is slewed on a fixed flat at 50-㎛ displacement. The lubricating behavior of h-BN is compared with that of deionized (DI) water. Results show that the friction coefficient is higher in h-BN testing than that in DI tests, but the results are equalized as the friction coefficient reaches a stable level. Scanning electron microscopic images reveal significant material loss in the center and mild abrasion on the edge of the wear scar in h-BN tests. However, these effects are minor in DI water situations. The results of energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy show that considerable oxidation occurs in the central zone of the wear scar in h-BN cases with strong adhesion and material removal. These findings reveal the importance of determining ideal circumstances that can tolerate material friction and wear.

This study aims to assess the seismic performance of retrofitted reinforced concrete columns using a Replaceable Steel Brace (RSB) system, subjected to combined axial, lateral, and torsional loadings. Through experimental testing, one non-retrofitted concrete column specimen and two retrofitted specimens with variable sliding slot lengths were subjected to eccentric lateral loads to simulate realistic seismic loading. The retrofitted specimens with RSBs exhibited enhanced resistance against shear cracking, effective torsional resistance, and demonstrated the feasibility of easy replacement. The RSB system substantially improved seismic performance, achieving approximately 1.7 times higher load capacity and 3.5 times greater energy dissipation compared to non-retrofitted column, thus validating its efficacy under combined loading conditions.

경질 크롬 도금은 도금과정에서 유독성 물질인 Cr⁺⁶을 배출시키기 때문에 환경오염과 폐암을 유발하고 있어 최근 고속화염 용사법 (HVOF)을 이용한 코팅 방법이 대체 방법으로 각광받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 HVOF 방법을 이용하여 경질 크롬 도금 방법을 대체하기 위한 WC-CoCr과 WC-CrC-Ni 서멧 코팅을 제조하였으며, 제조된 코팅층의 물리적/화학적 특성인 미세경도, 기공도, 결정상 및 미세구조를 경도기, 광학현미경, X-선 회절 (XRD), 주사전자현미경(SEM) 및 EDS를 이용하여 분석하였다. 코팅층의 마모 및 마찰 거동 분석을 위해 왕복 슬라이딩 마모 테스트 방법을 이용하여 25 ℃, 250 ℃, 450 ℃의 온도에서 실시하였으며, 두 코팅층의 마모/마찰 특성을 비교 평가하여, 코팅층의 내마모 성능이 미세구조와 금속기지 결합제 간의 연관성이 있음을 확인하였다. 결과적으로 미세구조가 균일하고, 기공도가 낮을수록 내마모성이 향상되고, 금속기지 결합제가 많을수록 우수한 내마모성을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다. 즉, 균일한 미세구조와 과량의 Co, Cr 금속기지 결합제, 낮은 기공도로 인해 온도와 테스트 온도와 관계없이 WC-CoCr 코팅이 WC-CrC-Ni 코팅에 비해 내마모성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

토석류 산사태물질은 암석의 풍화 산물이므로 사태물질의 특성은 그 지역에 분포하는 기반암의 종류에 의존한다. 이 연구에서는 사태물질의 종류에 따른 이동특성에 대한 연구를 수행하기 위하여 암석의 풍화 특성과 지형 조건이 서로 다른 3개 지역에서 발생한 26개 산사태를 연구대상으로 하였다. 산사태 발생지점의 정밀야외 조사를 통하여 암석의 종류, 풍화 및 지형 특성 등을 분석하였고 사태물질의 입도분포와 체적에 따른 이동과 지형 특성과의 관계를 추적하였다 지형조건 중 사면의 경사변화는 사태물질 이동거리에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되며, 이는 경사 변화가 많을 경우 사태물질의 확산속도와 에너지가 변화하기 때문에 일정한 경사를 따라 사태물질이 흘러내리는 것보다 더 큰 이동거리를 보이는 것으로 해석하였다. 사태물질의 이동거리는 사태물질의 체적과 입도에도 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 파악되었다. 특히 사태물질 체적은 지질특성에 확연히 구별되어 반려암 지역의 경우 화강암 지역에 비해 $4\~5$배 크다. 사태물질의 입도측면에서 중립질의 화강암 분포지역보다 대규모 핵석이 발달하고 풍화심도가 불규칙적인 반려암 지역에서 사태물질 규모 및 이동거리가 훨씬 크게 나타난다.

본 연구는 방사선치료에서 방사선 선량전달의 정확도를 높이기 위해 두 종류의 치료테이블 6D robotic couch (BrainLab, Feldkirchen, Germany)와 Standard exact couch (Varian Exact couch$^{TM}$, Varian Medical Systems, Milpitas, CA, USA)를 이용하여 Rail의 위상(In-Out)에 따른 상대선량을 측정하여, 선량감쇠율을 계산하였다. 치료테이블을 투과하는 조사에너지의 조사각 $0^{\circ}$에서 $360^{\circ}$까지의 상대 선량을 각각 측정하였으며, 조사각이 $0^{\circ}$일 때 측정된 선량을 기준으로 하여 $5^{\circ}$ 간격으로 선량의 변화를 측정하고 선량 감쇠율을 계산하였다. Standard exact couch의 광자선 에너지는 6 MV와 10 MV를 사용하였으며 치료테이블의 Rail 위상(In position, Out position)에 따른 상대 선량을 측정하였다. 6D robotic couch는 6 MV와 15 MV의 광자선 에너지를 사용하였다. Standard exact couch의 광자선의 최대 선량차이는 Rail In position에서 6 MV ($175^{\circ}$), 10 MV ($175^{\circ}$)일 때, 선량차이는 각각 16.53%, 12.42%, Out position에서 6 MV ($225^{\circ}$), 10 MV ($225^{\circ}$)일 때, 선량차이는 각각 15.15%, 9.96%였다. 6D robotic couch에서는 6 MV ($130^{\circ}$)와 15 MV ($130^{\circ}$)일 때, 선량차이는 각각 6.82%, 4.92%였다. 본 연구를 통해, 치료테이블의 종류에 따른 선량 감쇠율은 6D robotic couch가 Standard exact couch보다 6 MV에서 조사각 $180^{\circ}$ 기준 약 1% 더 발생함을 확인하였고, Stnadard exact couch인 경우, Sliding rail의 위상(In position, Out position)에 따라 선량 감쇠가 급격히 변화하는 것을 확인하였다.

The objective of this study is to develop an automatic object changer unit to improve processing problems existed in the conventional horizontal machining center. To achieve this goal, this study designed a horizontal transfer as the second project continued to the first project that designed a upward and downward traverse unit. A horizontal traverse unit shows a symmetric structure and consists of frame, which consists of four unit tools, motor and reducer, which are fixed at a frame, operation unit with pinions, first traverse unit, and second traverse unit. Constraint conditions based on the operation mechanism with these elements were configured and obtained following results after modeling a model for a traverse motor. In the kinematic expression of sliding motion with one degree of freedom, the sliding motion is constrained. Also, the rack 3 installed at a frame is used to configure possible kinematic constraint conditions of the rack 2 according to the rolling motion of the pinion 2 in the first traverse unit. In addition, the moment of inertia that is a type of kinetic energy in a converted horizontal traverse unit in the side of the reducer can be applied to introduce the moment of inertia of a converted horizontal traverse unit in the side of the reducer by using the sum of kinetic energy in the rack and pinion, which is a part of the horizontal traverse unit. Also, the equation of motion of the converted upward and downward traverse unit in the side of the motor using the equation of motion of the motor. Furthermore, the horizontal traverse unit predetermines the mass of the first and second traverse unit and applied load including the radius and reduction ratio of the pitch circle in the pinion 1 and applied load to the rack 2. Then, a proper motor can be determined using several parameters in the upward and downward traverse unit in order to verify such predetermined specifications. In future studies later this study, a simulation that verifies the results of the previous two stages of studies using a finite element method.

This paper presents two sets of full three-dimensional thermoelastic finite element analyses of superimposed thermo-mechanically loaded Spar Wingskin Joints made with laminated Graphite Fiber Reinforced Plastic composites. The study emphasizes the influence of residual thermal stresses and material anisotropy on the inter-laminar delamination behavior of the joint structure. The delamination has been pre-embedded at the most likely location, i.e., in resin layer between the top and next ply of the fiber reinforced plastic laminated wingskin and near the spar overlap end. Multi-Point Constraint finite elements have been made use of at the vicinity of the delamination fronts. This helps in simulating the growth of the embedded delamination at both ends. The inter-laminar thermoelastic peel and shear stresses responsible for causing delamination damage due to a combined thermal and a static loading have been evaluated. Strain energy release rate components corresponding to the Mode I (opening), Mode II (sliding) and Mode III (tearing) of delamination are determined using the principle of Virtual Crack Closure Technique. These are seen to be different and non-self-similar at the two fronts of the embedded delamination. Residual stresses developed due to the thermoelastic anisotropy of the laminae are found to strongly influence the delamination onset and propagation characteristics, which have been reflected by the asymmetries in the nature of energy release rate plots and their significant variation along the delamination front.

The sliding wear behaviors of Zircaloy-4 nuclear fuel rod were investigated using two support springs with convex and concave shapes in room temperature air and water. The main focus is to compare the wear behavior of various test variables such as slip amplitude, environment, contact contours with different spring shape and a number of cycles. The results indicated that wear volume and maximum wear depth increased with slip amplitude in both air and water, but their trends tended to change according to the spring shapes and test environments. In air condition, the wear volume was controlled by wear debris behavior generated on worn surface. As a result, final wear volume and maximum wear depth decreased if a ratio of protruded wear volume to worn area $(D_p)$ would be saturated to specific value. This is because wear particle layer could accommodate large strain by accumulating and transforming wear particle layer. However, in water condition, metal-to metal contact was more dominant and wear volume was greatly affected by changed mechanical behavior between contact surfaces since wear debris should be generated after repeated plastic deformation and fracture. After wear test, worn surfaces were examined using optical microscope and SEM and details of wear mechanism were discussed using a ratio of wear volume to worn area $(D_e)$ at each test condition.

The flame quenching process has been employed to modify the surfaces of commercial marine propeller material, aluminum bronze alloy (Cu-8.8Al-5Ni-5Fe), and the microstructure, hardness and wear properties of the flame-quenched layers have been studied. The thermal history was accurately monitored during the process with respect to both the designed maximum surface temperature and holding time. The XRD and EDX analyses have shown that at temperatures above $T_{\beta}$, the microstructure consisting of ${\alpha}+{\kappa}$ phases changed into the ${\alpha}+{\beta}^{\prime}$ martensite due to an eutectoid reaction of ${\alpha}+{\kappa}{\rightarrow}{\beta}$ and a martensitic transformation of ${\beta}{\rightarrow}{\beta}^{\prime}$. The ${\beta}^{\prime}$ martensite phase formed showed a face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal structure with the typical twinned structure. The hardness of the flame-quenched layer having the ${\alpha}+{\beta}^{\prime}$ structure was similar to that of the ${\alpha}+{\kappa}$ structure and depended sensitively on the size and distribution of hard ${\kappa}$ and ${\beta}^{\prime}$ phases with depth from the surface. As a result of the sliding wear test, the wear resistance of the flame-quenched layer was markedly enhanced with the formation of the ${\beta}^{\prime}$ martensite.

In this study, we proposed a new type of dual-buoy wave energy converter (WEC) exploiting multi-resonance and analyzed the experimental results from a model test in a 2-D wave flume. A dual-buoy WEC using multi-resonance has two advantages: high efficiency at the resonant frequencies and the potential to extend the frequency range available to extract wave power from the WEC. The suggested WEC was composed of an outer buoy and an inner buoy sliding vertically inside the outer buoy. As the power take-off device, a linear electric generator (LEG) consisting of permanent magnets and coils fixed at each buoy was adopted. Electricity was produced by the relative heave motion between the two buoys. To search for the optimal shape of a dual-buoy WEC, we conducted experiments on the heave motion of a two-body system in regular waves without an LEG installed. Model tests with six combinations of experimental models were conducted in order to find the motion characteristics of a dual-buoy WEC. It was found that model 2, which included a ring-shaped appendage to move the resonant frequency of the outer buoy toward a high value, showed a higher relative heave response amplitude operator (RAO) curve than model 1. In addition, the double-peak shape of the heave RAO curve shown for model 2 indicated the extension of the frequency range for extracting wave power in irregular waves.
