In this study, the effect of varying the mixture gas during FCA welding was studied for an Atos 60 test piece. To examine the characteristics of welding, the weldability of the material was checked before welding and online monitoring was performed to examine the mechanical properties after welding. The mixture Ar 80% + $CO_2$ 20% at low speed gave very elegant beads with very little spatter. 100% $CO_2$ gave rise to high spatter generation. For Ar 80% + $CO_2$ 20%, the low current region due to the normal short circuits created spatter, which was more than double for 100% $CO_2$. This peak distribution occurred due to the instability of the arc. The tensile test result for Ar 80% + $CO_2$ 20%, Ar 90%+ $CO_2$ 10% and $CO_2$ 100% at 511MPa, 507MPa, and 469MPa showed that the yield strength was improved by 8.1 and 8.9% for 80%+ $CO_2$ 20% and Ar 90%+ $CO_2$ 10%, respectively, compared to 100% $CO_2$. The tensile test result at 622MPa, 609MPa, and 581MPa showed that the yield strength was improved by 7.0% for both the mixture gas compared to 100% $CO_2$.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of nutrient solution strength and duration of nutrient starvation on the growth and development of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) 'Maehyang' and 'Sulhyang' at the flowering stage. Cuttings of runner plants were stuck on November 23th, 2017 and were covered with a layer of black plastic film to block light from penetrating and keep the relative humidity high. The black plastic film was removed after 16 days and rooted plants were cultivated for one month with irrigation of water. The Yamazaki nutrient solution with an electrical conductivity (EC) of 1.85 or 3.71 dS·m-1 (1x or 2x ionic strength, respectively) and pH 5.55 was fed to plants after either 0 (control), 1, 3 or 5 weeks of nutrient starvation to the end of experiment. Plant height in both cultivars decreased gradually with the increase in duration of nutritional starvation. The earlier the nutritional starvation started, the smaller the shoot fresh weight of 'Maehyang'. Hence the greatest shoot fresh weight was obtained in the control which was supplied with the nutrient solution continuously. Shoot fresh weight of 'Sulhyang' was the greatest in 1x ionic strength and one week of nutrient starvation before planting. Although number of flowers on the first flower cluster of 'Maehyang' and 'Sulhyang' showed no significant differences, 'Maehyang' had the greatest number of flowers in the 2x ionic strength solution and one week of nutrient starvation before planting, while 'Sulhyang' had that in the 1x ionic strength treatment. These results suggest that it is considered effective to supply a nutrient solution at a low concentration for a short period of time for increasing the number of flower differentiated on the first flower cluster in both cultivars.

The cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures is generally evaluated by measuring a single parameter (i.e., Tensile strength, Stiffness). However, the use of a single parameter has been questioned in the evaluation of asphalt mixture cracking performance. The focus of this study was to clearly identify the key properties and characteristics associated with the cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures. Results of fracture, creep, and strength tests at multiple loading rates performed on the modified and unmodified mixtures showed that the mixture cracking resistance was primarily affected by the rate of micro-damage accumulation. This was reflected in the m-value, without affecting the fracture energy limit. It was also observed that the short loading time (elastic) stiffness alone could not differentiate the mixture cracking resistance of the mixtures. It was concluded that the key to characterize the cracking resistance of asphalt mixture is in the evaluation of the combined effects of creep and failure limits. It was also found that a residual dissipated energy parameter measured from Superpave IDT strength test gave the quick and useful way to distinguish the difference of cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures. Failure strain in the longer-term creep test appeared to be a useful parameter for evaluating the combined effects of creep and failure limits of asphalt mixtures.

In this study, interfacial properties and mechanical properties of joints were reported after Cu pads finished with organic solderability preservative (OSP) on flame retardant-4 (FR-4) printed circuit board (PCB) and electronic components were joined with a Sn-57Bi-1Ag solder paste by using a laser bonding process. The laser bonding process was performed under various bonding conditions with changing a laser power and a bonding time and effects of bonding conditions on interfacial and mechanical properties of joints were analyzed. In order to apply for industry, properties of bonding joints using a reflow bonding process which are widely used were compared. When the laser bonding process were performed, we observed that Cu₆Sn₅ intermetallic compounds (IMCs) were fully formed at the interface although the bonding times were very short about 2 and 3 s. Furthermore, void formations of the joints by using the laser bonding process were suppressed at the joints with comparing to the reflow bonding process and shear strengths of bonding joints were higher than that by using the reflow bonding process. Therefore, in spite of a very short bonding time, it is expected that joints will be stably formed and have a high mechanical strength by using the laser bonding process.

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the performance of low $CO_2$ asphalt binder properties using LEADCAP$^{(R)}$(Low Energy and Carbon Asphalt Pavement) additive as function of various aging methods such as RTFO(Rolling thin film oven), Ultraviolet(UV) lay. In order to simulate the short-term aging of asphalt binder that occurs during the hot-mixing asphalt process, the Rolling Thin Film Oven(RTFO) was used. Asphalt binder using LEADCAP$^{(R)}$ is prepared by addition of a photoinitiator activated by ultraviolet lay. The mechanical and rheological properties of the asphalt binder were estimated using UTM(Universal Testing Machine) and DSR(Dynamic Shear Rheometer). The test results showed that the asphalt binder using LEADCAP$^{(R)}$ additive was improved the rutting resistance at testing temperature ($70^{\circ}C$) and increased tensile strength at low temperature. Also, Thermal analysis shows that the Melting Point(Tm) of asphalt binder using LEADCAP$^{(R)}$ additive was constant although the asphalt binder was aged by Ultraviolet.

IRW(Inverter Resistance Welding) process and DSW(Delta-spot welding) process for dissimilar materials of DP590 and Al5052 were performed to evaluate the welding quality and mechanical properties. IRW experiment was carried out with changing the welding current. The other welding parameters such as pressure force, weld time, squeezing time and holding time were fixed. On the anther hand, DSW experiment was performed using the process tape at welding current of 11.5kA. The other conditions were same as IRW conditions. The various testes such as shear tensile strength, nugget diameters, EDS, SEM and cross-sectional observation for weld zone was performed. As a result, IMC(Inter Metallic Compound) thickness at 11.5kA was thinner than those of 9.5kA and 10.5kA conditions. In addition, thined IMC layer was observed when high electric current apply to the materials(DP590 and Al5052) in a short time throught dissimilar resistance spot welding controling welding conditions. The relationship between the thickeness of IMC and current intensity was after discussed.

New Songdo city is currently developing on the reclaimed land on a marine deposit and among the development the four sixty-four(64) stories high rise buildings are under construction at block 125. The ground condition of the site is comprised of a deep seated weathered rock staratum under a soft marine deposit layer. As a foundation system, a bored pile was planned to transmit the applied load to the stable layer. In this study, the behavior of the weathered rock especially locating at a upper part having a weak strength(HWR, MWR) has been evaluated through series of hi-directional pile load test(BD PLT) carried out on the 3 drilled shafts socketed in a weathered rock layer in a design stage. It has been planned to increase the effect of the tests that the length of test piles was prepared short enough to perform the test under a high stress. The summary of the design reflecting the test results has been made up. In addition, the 4 hi-directional pile tests excuted on the working piles during the construction stage for the purpose of confirmation and the evaluation of the adequacy of the pile behaviors have been included in this study.

The capacity of passive metal to repassivate after film damage determines the development of local corrosion and the resistance to corrosion failures. In this work, the repassivation kinetics of 316L stainless steel (316L SS) was investigated in borate buffer solution (pH 9.1) using a novel abrading electrode technique. The repassivation kinetics was analyzed in terms of the current density flowing from freshly bare 316L SS surface as measured by a potentiostatic method. During the early phase of decay (t < 2 s), according to the Avrami kinetics-based film growth model, the transient current was separated into anodic dissolution ($i_{diss}$) and film formation ($i_{film}$) components and analyzed individually. The film reformation rate and thickness were compared according to applied potential. Anodic dissolution initially dominated the repassivation for a short time, and the amount of dissolution increased with increasing applied potential in the passive region. Film growth at higher potentials occurred more rapidly compared to at lower potentials. Increasing the applied potential from 0 $V_{SCE}$ to 0.8 $V_{SCE}$ resulted in a thicker passive film (0.12 to 0.52 nm). If the oxide monolayer covered the entire bare surface (${\theta}=1$), the electric field strength through the thin passive film reached $1.6{\times}10^7V/cm$.

The progress of oxidation of a porous silicon layer(PSL) was studied by examining the temperature dependence of the oxidation and the infrared absorption spectra. Thick OPSL(oxidized porous silicon layer). which has the same properties as thermal $SiO_{2}$ of bulk silicon, is formed in a short time by two steps wet oxidation of PSL at $700^{\circ}C$, 1 hr and $1100^{\circ}C$, 1 hr. Etching rate, breakdown strength of the OPSL are strongly dependent on the oxidation temperature, oxidation atmosphere. And its breakdown field was ${1\MV/cm^-2}$ MV/cm The oxide film stress was determined through curvature measurement using a dial gauge. During oxidation at temperature above $1000^{\circ}C$ in dry $O_{2}$, stress on the order of ${10^9}\dyne/{cm^2}{-10^10}\dyne/{cm^2}$ are generated in the OPSL.

There are critical drawbacks in fabricating MMIC transversal filters because the length of the conventional transversal filter structure is much longer than the width. In order to solve this structural problem, a transversal filter using multiple-coupled-line directional couplers which can achieve tight coupling is proposed. The length of the proposed transversal filter can be made short using multiple-coupled-line couplers so that the structure of the proposed filter is applicable to MMIC technology. Because of the dielectric and conductor losses, the excited signal at the input port becomes smaller when it progresses through each directional coupler. Therefore, the strength of the coupled signals at the latter directional couplers becomes smaller than the designed one and this, in turn, gives rise to performance aggravation. A modified coupling coefficient formula to prevent frequency characteristic degradation is introduced. The proposed filter structure and the design method are verified by the calculated result and 3D full-wave analysis.
