A material was formulated with Phenol novolac and HEXA only. The cure kinetics and thermal characteristics of phenol novolac with various HEXA contents were peformed by differential scanning calorimetry and thermal gravimetric analysis. All kinetic parameters of the curing reaction including the reaction order, activation energy, and rate constant were calculated and reported. The results indicate that the curing reaction goes through an autocatalytic kinetic mechanism. The friction and wear characteristics of this material were determined using friction material testing machine. The friction coefficient of phenol novolac with various HEXA contents was determined using the PV(pressure & velocity) factor. The most stable and highest friction coefficient with a various pressure and velocity condition was found at HEXA 10 wt.% material. The specific wear rate per unit sliding distance with a various HEXA contents was reported.

This paper presents a method of calculating the stress intensity factor (K) and crack propagation direction (${\theta}_0$) at the crack-tip that is associated with delamination in the large scale integration(LSI) package. To establish a reasonable strength evaluation method and life prediction, it is necessary to assess fracture parameters under various fracture conditions. Therefore, we conducted quantitative stress singularity analysis considering thermal stress simulating the changes of crack length (a), (h) and (v) in delamination using the 2-dimensional elastic boundary element method (BEM), and from these results predicted crack propagation direction and path.

The effects of Ta2O3 doping on the microstructure, electrical properties and thermal expansion in Pb(Zr0.525Ti0.475)O3 ceramics were studied. Density, average grain size, electromechanical coupling factor kp and thermal expansion coefficient of unpoled and poled samples were measured as a function of Ta2O5 content. Average grain size was decreased and density increased above 0.6 mol% Ta2O5 addition. In case of 0.2 mol% addition, density showed minimum according to grain growth. Dielectric constant and electromechanical coupling factor kp were the lowest in 0.2 mol% addition increased with Ta2O5 addition.

A batch type passive solar water systems, which perform the dual function of absorbing the solar energy and storing the heated water, have been designed and fabricated for the purpose of side-by-side testing at KIER. The test models included an A, B and C type batch systems which were classified according to the design of box and arrangement of tanks. The year-round performance tests show that B type batch system taken the step-wise tank arrangement indicates 55.7% yearly-average collection efficiency factor and 61% yearly-average maximum collection efficiency factor. Computer-aided-experimental results show that the sufficient hot water can be obtained in the early morning if the glazing is supplemented by a reflector/insulation cover. The thermal performance equation has been developed for the prediction of hourly variation of the water temperature in tank.

PV/Thermal module is the combined system, which consist of a photovoltaic module and solar thermal collector that can obtain electrical power and thermal energy simultaneously. Thus the power generation can be increase by decreasing the temperature of photovoltaic module and thermal energy retrieved from module also can be used for heating system. In this study, Heat transfer performance of air type PV/Thermal module was confirmed with various bottom obstacles that can be installed easily to real photovoltaic module by CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis. Eight type obstacles were investigated according to the shape and arrangement. As a result, nusselt number represent heat transfer performance was increased about 86% compare with the basic type PV/Tthermal module that has no obstacle and triangle type obstacle had higher value than other types. But pressure drop was also increased with increment of heat transfer enhancement. Thus the performance factor considering both heat transfer and pressure drop was confirmed and V-fin type obstacle arranged in a row for Reynolds number below 9,600 and protrusion type obstacle arranged in zigzag for Reynolds number above 14,400 were shown higher performance factor than other types. From these results, V-fin type obstacle arranged in row and protrusion type obstacle arranged in zigzag were considered as a proper type for applying to real PV/thermal module according to operating condition. But the heat transfer performance can be changed by the geometric conditions of obstacle such as height, width, length and arrangement. Thus, it could also confirmed that the optimal condition and arrangement of this obstacle need to be found in further study.

Environmental chamber (EC) is an experimental facility used to analyze the characteristics of thermal response of testing objects by the artificial control of weather conditions. The EC in KIER can simulate the weather conditions by the control of temperature, humidity, and solar radiation. A two-storied testing building is located inside of EC. For the exact thermal response analysis of testing building, monthly or yearly scheduled operations are necessary. Although this long term operation gives the exact experimental data, it requires a high operational cost, long duration, and lots of manpower. Therefore it is necessary to perform the shortened experiments without sacrificing the validity of the obtained results. Since the characteristics of thermal response from the shortened experiments are different from the full time results, the analytical method to analyze the thermal response from the shortened experiments to estimate a full times results is developed in this study. The thermal response of testing building is performed using commercial software TRNSYS.

In the present study, the thermal buckling behavior of functionally graded sandwich plates is studied using a new hyperbolic displacement model. Unlike any other theory, the theory is variationally consistent and gives four governing equations. Number of unknown functions involved in displacement field is only four, as against five in case of other shear deformation theories. This present model takes into account the parabolic distribution of transverse shear stresses and satisfies the condition of zero shear stresses on the top and bottom surfaces without using shear correction factor. Material properties and thermal expansion coefficient of the sandwich plate faces are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The core layer is still homogeneous and made of an isotropic material. The thermal loads are assumed as uniform, linear and non-linear temperature rises across the thickness direction. The results reveal that the volume fraction index, loading type and functionally graded layers thickness have significant influence on the thermal buckling of functionally graded sandwich plates.
