Effects of process parameters during thixocasting, such as solid volume fraction, mold temperature and extrusion ratio, on the mold filling behaviour and fluidity of Mg alloy(AZ91D) have been investigated. The semi-solid ingot held for 60 minutes at the semi-solid temperature range did not contain the equilibrium volume fraction of solid as expected from the phase diagram. Therefore, in order to obtain the desired solid fractions, and to suppress the exaggerated grain growth during heating, it was required to heat the ingot rapidly up to the temperature $10^{\circ}C$ higher than the semi-solid temperature suggested from the phase diagram for a specific volume fraction of solid. The experimental results show that mold filling behaviour and fluidity can be improved with the use of the higher mold temperature and the lower volume fraction of solid, but remain nearly unaffected by the change of extrusion ratio.

This study is a research investigation into the properties of bubbles that affect the characteristics of foamed concrete during its production. The study examined the properties of bubbles based on the manufacturing conditions. To investigate these properties, the selected experimental factors included bead size, the length/diameter ratio of the bubble-generating tube, and compressed air. The experimental design used a design of experiments, and the test results were analyzed using analysis of variance. The foaming agent used to generate bubbles was AES (Alcohol Ethoxy Sulfate), and the method employed for bubble manufacture was the pre-foaming method. In the test results, a significant factor affecting the foaming rate of bubbles was the bead size; the highest foaming rate was observed when using 2mm beads. Bead size also primarily influenced the volume change of the aqueous solution, while other factors did not affect the foaming rate and volume change. None of the factors affected the change in bubble size, but compressed air was considered the main factor affecting bubble size and its change. The foaming rate and volume change of the aqueous solution showed a high correlation with each other. Spherical bubbles in the early stage eventually transformed into angular bubbles. Moreover, over time, it was observed that the bubble size increased.

In this study, we processed two procedures of application test of filler for fire-resistance utility that are new application methods of aerated concrete and properties test of aerated concrete according to mixing ratio because we investigated the better use of aerated concrete as filler for fireproof safety and we proposed basic data about standardization of mixing of aerated concrete. We measured flow and volume change of aerated concrete. And if its volume doesn't change, we added measuring unit weight and compressive strength. To test application of aerated concrete as filler for fireproof safety, we filled up aerated concrete to fireproof safety according to suitable mixing ratio. Then we measured maximum temperature of inner part of fireproof safety in accordance with the standard test of fireproof. According to the results, aerated concrete as filler for fireproof safety could be possibly used. So when we make aerated concrete, we should consider using an adding agent as well as a foaming agent.

목 적: 본 연구는 폐암 환자의 정위체부방사선치료 시(Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy, SBRT) 기준선(Baseline) 변화에 따른 3D-CBCT(Cone Beam Computed-Tomography)와 Gated-CBCT의 영상 품질(Image quality)을 비교 분석하여 호흡에 따른 움직임의 보정에 유용한 CBCT 촬영 방법을 찾고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: QUASAR^TM(Modus Medical Devices Inc, Canada) 팬텀에 지름이 3 cm인 고체 종양 물질(Solid Tumor)을 삽입하여 팬텀의 속도를 주기 3 sec, 최대 진폭 20 mm 로 4DCT(4-Dimentional Computed-Tomography)를 촬영하였다. 전산화 치료계획시스템 Eclipse^TM을 이용하여 고체 종양 물질에 육안적 종양용적(Gross Target Volume, GTV)을 윤곽 묘사하였다. Truebeam STx^TM을 이용해 4DCT 촬영 시와 동일하게 설정한 후, 기준선 변화가 1 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm인 호흡 패턴을 팬텀에 입력하여 3D-CBCT(Spotlight, Full)와 Gated-CBCT(Spotlight, Full) 영상을 5회 반복하여 획득하였다. 획득된 영상을 4DCT 영상을 기준으로 신호대잡음비(Signal-to-Noise Ratio, SNR), 대조대잡음비(Contrast-to-Noise Ratio, CNR), 종양 체적 길이(Tumor Volume Length) 및 모션 블러링 비(Motion Blurring Ratio, MBR)를 측정하여 비교하였다. 결 과: Spotlight Gated-CBCT 영상이 기준선 변화에 따른 신호대잡음비가 평균 13.30±0.10%, 대조대잡음비가 평균 7.78±0.16%, 종양 체적 길이가 평균 3.55 ± 0.17%, 모션 블러링 비가 평균 1.18 ± 0.06%로 Spotlight 3D-CBCT보다 우수한 값을 보였다. 또한, Full Gated-CBCT 영상이 기준선 변화에 따른 신호대잡음비가 평균 12.80 ± 0.11%, 대조대잡음비가 평균 7.60 ± 0.11%, 종양 체적 길이가 평균 3.54 ± 0.16%, 모션 블러링 비가 평균 1.18 ± 0.05%로 Full 3D-CBCT보다 우수한 값을 보였다. 결 론: 3D-CBCT 촬영 영상과 비교하여 Gated-CBCT 촬영 영상이 기준선 변화에 따른 영상 품질이 우수한 값을 보였으며, 호흡으로 인한 모션 블러링 인공물(Motion Blurring Artifacts)의 영향이 적은 것을 확인했다. 따라서 단기간에 고선량을 전달하는 폐암의 정위체부방사선치료 시 불규칙한 호흡으로 인한 기준선 변화가 발생하는 경우 Gated-CBCT를 이용해 영상유도(Image Guide)를 하는 것이 유용하다고 판단된다.

함수특성곡선은 불포화지반에서의 해석과 물성 추정 등에 반드시 고려해야 하는 지반의 고유 특성이다. 하지만 기존의 실험장비에 의한 실험 중에 발생되는 시료의 부피변화는 함수특성곡선 결과에 영향을 비치게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 함수특성곡선 실험 중에 발생되는 부피변화를 측정하여 보다 정확한 함수특성곡선을 얻고자 하였다. 그리고 실험과정 중에 관측된 간극비의 변화를 통해 실험 초기의 포화과정이 시료의 구조를 변화시키고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 설험방법으로 실험을 수행한 시료에 대해 실험 초기의 포화과정을 생략한 실험을 수행하여 간극비의 변화가 상대적으로 크게 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 그 결과들을 비교, 분석하였다.

In the present study, the piezoelectricity and polarization of multilayer ceramic actuator, being designed to stack PMN-PZ-PT ceramic layers and Ag-Pd electrode layers alternatively, were investigated under a consideration of geometric factor, the volume ratio of the ceramic to the electrode layers. The actuators were fabricated by tape casting of 0.2Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.38PbZrO3-0.42PbTiO3 followed by lamination and burnout & co-firing processes. The actuators of 10 10 0.62 nm3 in size were formed in a way that 60 200 m thick ceramics were stacked alternatively with 5 m thick electrode layer. Increases in polarization and electric field-induced displacement with thickness of the ceramic layer were attributed to change of 90o/180o domain ratio, which was affected by interlayer internal stress. The piezoelectricity and actuation behaviors were found to depend upon the volume ratio (or thickness ratio) of ceramic to electrode layers.

In general, pulsation damper is installed in fuel rail for conventional MPI engine to decrease undesirable noise in vehicle cabin room. However, pulsation damper is so expensive that there are prevailing studies to reduce fuel pressure pulsations with integrated damping effect. This paper is one of basic studies for development of fuel rail to abate pulsations with self-damping effect. Primarily, the pressure pulsation characteristics was investigated with aspect ratio of cross section, wall thickness, and materials of fuel rail. A high aspect ratio or thin wall was found to absorb the pressure pulsations effectively. But volume effects on the fuel pressure pulsation reductions were not especially significant than cross section effects because volume increment rate is larger than pressure pulsation reduction rate. The fuel rail made of aluminum is effective for reduction of pressure pulsation than that of low-carbon steel. Pressure change period increases on the basis of same lengths of supply line and fuel rail as the volume is enlarged and/or the thickness of wall is thinned.

The aggregate-forming minerals in concrete undergo volume swelling and microstructure change under neutron irradiation, leading to degradation of physical and mechanical properties of the aggregates and concrete. A comprehensive investigation of volume change and elastic property variation of major aggregate-forming minerals is still lacking, so molecular dynamics simulations have been employed in this paper to improve the understanding of the degradation mechanisms. The results demonstrated that the densities of the selected aggregate-forming minerals of similar atomic structure and chemical composition vary in a similar trend with deposited energy due to the similar amorphization mechanism. The elastic tensors of all silicate minerals are almost isotropic after saturated irradiation, while those of irradiated carbonate minerals remain anisotropic. Moreover, the elastic modulus ratio versus density ratio of irradiated minerals is roughly following the density-modulus scaling relationship. These findings could further provide basis for predicting the volume and elastic properties of irradiated concrete aggregates in nuclear facilities.

연구배경: Volume controlled ventilation(VCV)시 inspiratory pause의 사용은 흡기시간을 연장하여 평균기도압을 상승시키고 가스교환을 호전시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 같은 흡기시간을 유지하더라도 inspiratory pause를 사용하였을 경우 평균기도압과 가스교환의 변화에 대하여는 잘 알려지지 않았다. 방 법: 저자들은 VCV으로 기계호흡을 받는 12명의 환자를 대상으로 흡기산소농도, 상시호흡량, 호흡수 및 I : E ratio(1 : 3)는 변화시키지 않고 5%의 pause를 사용한 경우와 사용하지 않은 경우의 기도압 및 가스교환의 변화를 관찰하여 비교하였다. 결 과: 동맥혈 이산화탄소분압은 pause를 사용한 경우 $38.6{\pm}7.4$ mmHg로 시용하지 않은 경우의 $41.0{\pm}7.7$ mmHg보다 유의하게 낮았다 (p<0.01). 동맥혈 산소분압은 pause를 사용한 경우 $94.4{\pm}23.2$ mmHg로 사용하지 않은 경우의 $91.8{\pm}19.7$ mmHg보다 높은 경향이 있었으나 (p=0.054), 폐포-동맥혈 산소분압차$(P(A-a)O_2)$는 pause 유무에 따른 차이가 없었다 ($185.3{\pm}86.5$ mmHg vs. $184.9{\pm}84.9$ mmHg, P=0.766). 평균기도압은 pause를 사용한 경우 $9.7{\pm}4.0\;cmH_2O$로 사용하지 않은 경우의 $8.8{\pm}4.0\;cmH_2O$보다 유의하게 높았다 (p<0.01). Pause를 사용했을 때의 pause pressure와 pause를 사용하지 않을 때의 최고흡기압의 차이는 호흡기계의 저항과 역상관관계를 보였으나 (r=-0.777, p<0.01), pause가 없을 때의 최고흡기압에서 pause를 사용했을 때의 최고흡기압으로의 증가는 호흡기계의 저항과 정상관관계를 보여 (r=0.811, p<0.01), 평균기도압의 차이는 호흡기계의 저항과 유의한 정상관관계를 보였다(r=0.681, p<0.05). 평균기도압의 변화는 $PaCO_2$의 변화와 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 결 론: Volume control ventilation시 동일한 1:3 의 I:E ratio하에서라도 5%의 inspiratory pause를 사용하는 것이 평균기도압을 더 높게 유지할 수 있으며 폐환기를 호전시킬 수 있는 것으로 사료되었다. 또한 호흡기계의 저항이 증가되어 있을수록 평균기도압의 상승이 많았으나 평균기도압의 상승 정도는 폐환기의 변화와 상관관계를 보이지 않았다.
