In this study, finite element analysis is carried out to estimate horizontal forces needed for the required power calculation and vertical forces applied on the structural analysis model for the development of automatic serrated surface at metal gasket core machining system. By considering of elasto-plastic material characteristics, nonlinear contact analysis was conducted to compute these loads according to the change of roll reduction, frictional coefficient and core thickness. As the result, horizontal and vertical reaction force variations are found according to parameters and maximum reaction force is also confirmed to be most affected by roll reduction.

We have investigated the effects of H atoms on thin film growth processes and surface reactions. In the oxidation of Si, Si surfaces are passivated against the $O_2$ adsorption by terminating dangling bonds with H atoms. Moreover, the existence of Si-H bonds on Si(100) surfaces enhances the structural relaxation of Si-O-Si bonds due to a charge transfer from Si-Si back bonds. In the heteroepitaxial growth of a Si/Ge/Si(100) system, H atoms suppress the segregation of Ge atoms into Si overlayers since the exchange of Ge atoms with Si atoms bound with H must be accompanied with breaking of Si-H bonds. However, 3-dimensional island growth is also promoted by atomic H irradiation, which is considered to result from the suppression of surface migration of adsorbed reaction species and from the lowering of step energies by the H termination of dangling bonds.

In this study, the hydrogen/deuterium (HDX) exchange mechanism of active hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) dissolved in toluene and deuterated methanol by atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) is investigated. The comparison of the data obtained using APPI suggests that aniline and benzene-1,2-dithiol contain two exchanging hydrogens. The APPI HDX that best explains the experimental findings was investigated with the use of quantum mechanical calculations. The HDX mechanism is composed of a two-step reaction: in the first step, analyte radical ion gets deuterated, and in the second step, the hydrogen transfer occurs from deuterated analyte to de-deuterated methanol to complete the exchange reaction. The suggested mechanism provides fundamentals for the HDX technique that is important for structural identification with mass spectrometry. This paper is dedicated to Professor Seung Koo Shin for his outstanding contributions in chemistry and mass spectrometry.

In this paper, an inverted-pendulum model consisting of a point supported by spring limbs with roller feet is adopted to simulate human walking load. To establish the kinematic motion of first and second single and double support phases, the Lagrangian variation method was used. Given a set of model parameters, desired walking speed and initial states, the Newmark-${\beta}$ method was used to solve the above kinematic motion for studying the effects of roller radius, stiffness, impact angle, walking speed, and step length on the ground reaction force, energy transfer, and height of center of mass transfer. The numerical simulation results show that the inverted-pendulum model for walking is conservative as there is no change in total energy and the duration time of double support phase is 50-70% of total time. Based on the numerical analysis, a dynamic load factor ${\alpha}_{wi}$ is proposed for the traditional walking load model.

Raman spectroscopy is effective to investigate functional groups via molecular vibration. The technique offers the structural information of compounds including subtle changes in the chemical composition of local atomic coordination without critical damage. Thus, the effect of carbonation on the hydration characteristics of Portland cement under pre-curing conditions for carbonation was investigated via Raman spectroscopy in the present study. Gaseous CO₂ was injected within 60 seconds, and the reaction time was varied from 0 minute to 90 minutes. The test results indicated that the Ca/Si ratio of C-S-H reduced immediately after mixing and then the C-S-H with a relatively high Ca/Si ratio coexisted as the reaction time increased. The calcium carbonates formed in the present study included calcite and amorphous calcium carbonates. The test results via Raman spectroscopy provide valuable information about the carbonation characteristics of OPC under pre-curing conditions for carbonation.

Platinum catalyst activity and stability is excellent in terms of fuel cells as a catalyst here. Although it is widely used, to compensate for the high price issue non-precious fuel cell catalysts are being developed. In this study, Co/PANi/CNT composite and non-precious as a catalyst for oxygen reduction was applied. Polyaniline on the interaction between cobalt and the oxygen reduction reaction and the structural characteristics observed in the impact and heat treatment was carried out according to the improved catalytic performance. Potential range is oxygen reduction reaction 0.55 V to 0.78 V(vs. NHE) after pyrolysis. Through this study, Co /PANi/CNT composites as a potential catalyst for fuel cells were non-precious.

In the event of a fire in the lower space, a high temperature of 1000℃ or more and an explosive fire may occur due to the closed structural features and combustible materials. On the other hand, more than 90% of oyster shells are made of CaCO₃, and when heated to about 700℃ or higher, CaO and CO₂ is generated due to decarboxylation reaction. In this study, we try to infer the amount generated by CO₂ changing the weight of mortar using oyster shells as fine aggregates after heating. in conclusion It is considered that the smaller the particle, the greater the decarboxylation reaction and the greater the weight change.

We have studied structural characterization, electrical charge and discharge, and impedence properties for the $LiMn_2O_4$ synthesized by solid state reaction. From the X-ray diffraction results, diffraction patterns for compounds of the four kinds of $LiMn_2O_4$ compounds were observed to peaks of (111), (311), (004) and (400). Also, Small similar peaks (110), (222) and (313) were observed for sample C1 and C2. Concerning to new peaks of (113) and (331) for the sample C4, we can found that structural transitions were accompanied from C1 and C2 to C4 via C3 structure. A electrical charge and discharge data showed that efficiency of C1 was very poor state and efficiencies of C2 and C3 were about 60-70% of theoretical capacity. But, the C4 showed good charge and discharge properties of more than 70% of theoretical capacity. From the impedence properties for finding the effect of ions and electrons transfer of battery, C2 and C3 of high frequency of real number showed good electrical impedence properties.

Knowledge of dynamic characteristics of structural elements often can make difference between success and failure in the design of structure due to resonance effect. In this paper an analytical model of a cantilever beam having midpoint load is considered for structural optimization. This involves creating the geometry which allows parametric study of all design variables. For that purpose optimization of cantilever beam is elaborated in order to find the optimum geometry which minimizes its volume eventually for minimum weight using ANSYS. But such geometry could be obtained by different combinations of width and height, so that it may have the same cross sectional area yet different dynamic behavior. So for optimum safe design, besides minimum volume it should have minimum vibration as well. In order to predict vibration different dynamic analyses are performed simultaneously to solve the eigenvalues problem assuming no damping initially through MATLAB simulations using state space form for modal analysis, which identifies the resonant frequencies and mode shapes belonging to the lowest three modes of vibration. And next by introducing damping effects tip displacement, bending stress and the vertical reaction force at the fixed end is evaluated under some dynamic load of varying frequency, and finally it is discussed how resonance can be avoided for particular design. Investigation of results clearly shows that only structural analysis is not enough to predict the optimum values of dimension for safe design. Potentially this technique will meet maintenance and cost goals of many organizations particularly for the application where dynamic loading is invertible and helps a lot ensuring that the proposed design will be safe for both static and dynamic conditions.

This paper addresses the kinematic study for the structural analysis of the S60ME-C multi-cylinder vessel engine. The load conditions such as the lateral force and the reaction force by the crank-shaft are required for the FEM analysis. The driving parts in vessel engine are assumed to be in frictionless rigid plane motion. We analytically derive dynamic forces for a single cylinder by using the dynamic force equilibrium. But, for the structural analysis for a single cylinder block, we use the loading conditions of two neighboring cylinders. Meanwhile, we use the single cylinder's loading condition to calculate the multi-cylinder's loading conditions, because each cylinder shows a cyclic loading pattern with respect to the crank arm's rotation angle.
