본 연구에서는 불포화 지반의 특성을 파악하고, 강우시 불포화 사면의 포화깊이에 따른 안정성을 파악하기 위해 국내 지반의 전형적인 화강풍화토(SW)에 점토(CH) 함유량 0∼30%을 변화시켜 가며 함수특성곡선 산정 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 강우로 인해 증가되는 포화깊이에 영향을 미치는 투수계수 및 suction을 구하기 위해 다짐도에 따른 강도정수 변화를 측정하였다. 침투로 인해 발생하는 지반내의 suction 변화를 점토함유량에 따라 모형 시험과 수치해석을 사용하여 분석하였다. 특히 불포화 지반에서 포화지반으로 바뀌는 과정에 잔류하는 wetting front suction은 점토함유량과 지반의 다짐도에 따라 민감하게 변화하였다. 강우시 침투수의 거동을 파악하기 위해 상용프로그램인 SEEP/W를 통해 침투해석을 수행하였고, 침투해석 결과를 연동시켜 포화깊이에 따른 사면의 안정성을 SLOPE/W 프로그램을 이용하여 포화깊이 및 점토함유량에 따라 비교ㆍ분석하였다. 해석결과를 통해 wetting front suction은 초기 포화깊이에 영향을 미치며 안전율이 변하는 것을 알 수 있다.

In this study, high temperature wetting analysis and AZ80/Ti interfacial structure observation are performed for the mixture of AZ80 and Ti, and the effect of Al on wetting in Mg alloy is examined. Both molten AZ80 and pure Mg have excellent wettability because the wet angle between molten droplets and the Ti substrate is about 10° from initial contact. Wetting angle decreases with time, and wetting phenomenon continues between droplets and substrate; the change in wetting angle does not show a significant difference when comparing AZ80-Ti and Mg-Ti. As a result of XRD of the lower surface of the AZ80-Ti sample, in addition to the Ti peak of the substrate, the peak of TiAl3, which is a Ti-Al intermetallic compound, is confirmed, and TiAl3 is generated in the Al enrichment region of the Ti substrate surface. EDS analysis is performed on the droplet tip portion of the sample section in which pure Mg droplets are dropped on the Ti substrate. Concentration of oxygen by the natural oxide film is not confirmed on the Ti surface, but oxygen is distributed at the tip of the droplet on the Mg side. Molten AZ80 and Ti-based compound phases are produced by thickening of Al in the vicinity of Ti after wetting is completed, and Al in the Mg alloy does not affect the wetting. The driving force of wetting progression is a thermite reaction that occurs between Mg and TiO2, and then Al in AZ80 thickens on the Ti substrate interface to form an intermetallic compound.

The effect of the several variables on wetting of AISIB1113 steel by molten glass was studied by Sessible-drop method. Experimental variables were temperature, firing atmospheres, Fe2O3 addition to the sealing glass and steel surface conditions. The degree of wetting in terms of contact angles between molten glass and metal tested at different test conditions was analyzed by using Young's equation. The results showed that contact angles in H2 atmosphere in the glass metal systems were high but in N2 atmosphere, were small for studied glass metal systems. Especially, when the glass drop was in contact with oxidized steel in N2 atmosphere, The best adherence with contact angle of approximately 9°was obtained. In the case of Fe2O3 addition in glass contact angles subtantially increased due to the increase of surface tension of glass. Wetting phenomena were also discussed under the basis of these experimental results.

Micro/nano tribological and water wetting characteristics of ion beam treated PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) surfaces were experimentally studied. The ion beam treatment was performed with a hollow cathode ion gun at different argon ion dose conditions in a vacuum chamber to modify the topography of PTFE surface. Micro/nano tribological characteristics, water wetting angles and roughness were measured with a micro tribe tester, SPM (scanning probe microscope), contact anglemeter and profilometer, respectively. Results showed that surface roughness increased with the argon ion dose. Water wetting angle of the ion beam treated samples increased with the ion dose, so the surface shows an ultra-hydrophobic nature. Micro-adhesion and micro-friction depend on the wetting characteristics of the PTFE samples. However, nano-tribological characteristics showed different results. The scale effect of surface topography on tribological characteristics was discussed. Also, the water wetting characteristics of modified PTFE samples were discussed in terms of the surface topographic characteristics.

Successive wetting and drying cycles of concrete due to weather changes can endanger the safety of engineering structures over time. Considering wetting and drying cycles in concrete tests can lead to a more correct and reliable design of engineering structures. This study aims to provide a model that can be used to estimate the resistance properties of concrete under different wetting and drying cycles. Complex sample preparation methods, the necessity for highly accurate and sensitive instruments, early sample failure, and brittle samples all contribute to the difficulty of measuring the strength of concrete in the laboratory. To address these problems, in this study, the potential ability of six machine learning techniques, including ANN, SVM, RF, KNN, XGBoost, and NB, to predict the concrete's tensile strength was investigated by applying 240 datasets obtained using the Brazilian test (80% for training and 20% for test). In conducting the test, the effect of additives such as glass and polypropylene, as well as the effect of wetting and drying cycles on the tensile strength of concrete, was investigated. Finally, the statistical analysis results revealed that the XGBoost model was the most robust one with R2 = 0.9155, mean absolute error (MAE) = 0.1080 Mpa, and variance accounted for (VAF) = 91.54% to predict the concrete tensile strength. This work's significance is that it allows civil engineers to accurately estimate the tensile strength of different types of concrete. In this way, the high time and cost required for the laboratory tests can be eliminated.

자동차용 부품재 및 일반산업용 재료로 사용되고 있는 AC4A Al합금에 $SiC_{w}$ preform을 용탕단조법으로 강화시킨 복합재료의 시효 경화능은 SiC/aub w/30%> 10%> 20%의 순이며, 이는 $100^{\circ}C$-$400^{\circ}C$까지의 등시시효에서도 같은 결과를 나타낸다. 복합재의 T6처리재가 AC4A I/M재 보다도 시효경화능이 크고 절대값이 높았으며 $SiC_{w}$체적분율 증가에 따라 초기경화 현상을 나타내었다. 가압력에 의한 강화효과는 미시효때와 같이 가압력 75MPa일때 가장 좋았으며, $SiC_{w}$는 30%> 10%>20%순이었다. 가압력이 낮을경우 가입과 동시에 휘스커는 파단되지 않고 원래의 형상을 유지하거나 기지금속과 wetting으로 일부 변형된 다음 가압이 진행되면서 이부부의 응력 집중으로 wetting부가 파단하게 되어 가압력을 이기지 못하고 파단하게 되어 휘스커 모양도 다각형이거나 구형에 가깝게 되며 가압이 진행됨에따라 재차 파단되므로써 길이도 짧게 된다. 한편 가압력 75 MPa일 경우 휘스커의 형상은 일부 변형된 것과 잘게 파손된 것이 고르게 공존하고 있어 강화효과가 가장 우수한 것으로 사료된다.

This study investigated the effects of the substrate and powder content on the fabrication of SiO$_{2}$ photonic crystals by evaporation method. Photonic crystals were self-assembled on quartz, Corning 1737 glass, slide glass, and ITa glass to verify the effects of the wetting angle and surface morphology. The powder contents of the solution were varied from 0.2 to 2.0 wt$\%$. The number of photonic crystal layers increased according to the decrease of wetting angle and surface roughness. The resultant photonic crystals showed the best optical characteristics when the number of photonic crystal layers was within 40 and 50. In addition, the intensity peak of Fabry¡?Perot fringes increased when the wetting angle was large and the particle size was small. Photonic crystals coated on ITO glass showed the highest reflectance peak of 63$\%$ relative intensity.

This research evaluates the change of the water absorbency and drying speed of a quick-drying knit fabric by repeated laundering and laundering conditions and investigates the influence of laundering conditions on the functional properties of the knit fabric. Four factors of laundering conditions were studied: detergent, water hardness, water temperature, and frequency of rotation. Knit fabrics were washed for 25 laundering cycles in a drum-type washing machine with nine different laundering conditions derived from an orthogonal array. The properties of knit fabrics were measured with a drop absorption test, a strip test, and a drying time test. Relaxation shrinkage pointed to a change in the structural characteristics of the knit fabric. Wetting time was faster and wickability was greater in the knit fabrics that underwent 5 laundering cycles; in addition, there were no obvious changes in wetting time and wickability. The detergent was the most important factor in wetting time (40.4%) and wickability (60% or above). Water hardness, water temperature and RPM had less of an effect on wetting time and wickability. There were no significant differences between the levels of laundering conditions (except for detergent) on wetting time and wickability. Drying times with neutral and alkali were slower by repeated laundering; however, there was no obvious change in drying time. Hardness, water temperature and RPM had less of an impact on drying time.

Membrane distillation (MD) is a thermal driven separation process in which separation a hydrophobic membrane is a barrier for the liquid phase, letting the vapor phase pass through the membrane pores. Therefore, a porous and hydrophobic membrane should be used in membrane distillation. MD cannot work if water penetrates into the pores of the membrane (membrane wetting). Accordingly, it is necessary to prevent wetting of MD membranes and to remove water inside the pores of the wetted membranes if possible. In this context, our study aimed to develop methods to recover wetted membranes in MD processes. Poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes were used in this study. A laboratory-scale direct contact MD (DCMD) system was used to examine the effect of operating parameters on wetting. For dewetting the wetted membranes, specific techniques including the use of high temperature air were applied. The performances of the membranes before and after dewetting were compared in terms of flux, salt rejection and liquid entry pressure(LEP). The surface morphology of dewetted membrane was confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Membrane distillation (MD) is a novel separation process that have drawn attention as an affordable alternative to conventional desalination processes. However, membrane fouling and pore wetting are issues to be addressed prior to widespread application of MD. In this study, the influence of ultrasonic irradiation on fouling and wetting of MD membranes was investigated for better understanding of the MD process. Experiments were carried out using a direct contact membrane distillation apparatus Colloidal silica was used as a model foulants in a synthetic seawater (35,000 mg/L NaCl solution). A vibrator was directed attached to membrane module to generate ultrasonic waves from 25 kHz (the highest energy) to 75 kHz (the lowest energy). Flux and TDS for the distillate water were continuously monitored. Results suggested that ultrasonic irradiation is effective to retard flux decline due to fouling only in the early stage of the MD operation. Moreover, wetting occurred by a long-term application of ultrasonic rradiation at 75 kHz. These results suggest that the conditions for ultrasonic irradiation should be carefully optimized to maximize fouling control and minimize pore wetting.
