In this study, the mechanical properties of the pressure vessel composite exposed to the thermal environment were evaluated to establish the standard for high temperature static pressure test of the pressure vessel for hydrogen bus. As the tensile strength of the composite material approaches the glass transition temperature of the epoxy resin, the strength decreases due to the deterioration of the epoxy resin. In addition, it was confirmed that the tensile strength increased again due to the post-curing of the epoxy resin during long-term exposure. Therefore, the accelerated stress rupture test conditions of the pressure vessel for the hydrogen bus should be set based on the epoxy resin properties of the carbon fiber composite material.

Green Hydrogen demonstration complex is under conduction in Jeju island which is rich in renewable energy resources and will produces green hydrogen using a water electrolysis systems. In order to check durability of long-term operation, AST(accelerated stress test) was applied and the power pattern based on Jeju Island's wind power was applied. After 800 hours of repeated application of low current and high current, the performance of the PEM water electrolysis cell was reduced by up to 10% and by about 5.5% in operating conditions. As the result of impedance analysis, it can be seen that the electrode polarization resistance greatly increased than ohmic polarization resistance. In addition, when the durability evaluation was conducted by applying the wind power pattern of Jeju Island, the performance of the PEM water electrolysis cell showed up to 1.6% and a decrease of less than 1% in operating conditions. As a result of the impedance, it can be seen that the change of ohmic resistance and electrode polarization resistance is small.

실리콘 태양전지는 현재 다른 태양전지 셀에 비해서 높은 변환효율 및 우수한 안정성을 가지고 있으며, 상대적으로 가격도 저렴하여 상용으로 판매되는 대다수의 모듈이 실리콘 태양전지를 사용하고 있다. 이러한 태양전지 모듈이 25년 이상 보증을 위해서는 장기 열화메카니즘 연구가 중요시 되고 있다. 따라서 태양전지 모듈을 가속열화하여 높은 내구성을 보유하고 있는지 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 결정질 실리콘 태양전지 모듈의 옥외실증 시험을 통해 일사량, 기온, 습도, 풍향, 풍속과 같은 환경인자에 따른 모듈의 성능 비교를 통해 모듈의 열화요인에 대하여 분석하였다. MYPGT (Maximal Yield Power Generation Tracking)를 활용하여 모듈의 특성을 정밀하게 측정하며, 빠른 대기환경의 변화에 따른 매시간 태양전지의 전류-전압 특성을 지속적으로 정확하게 측정함으로써 대기환경에서 받는 영향에 대해 분석하였다.

Electro-Mechanical Actuator installed on the aircraft plays a key role in an aircraft's flight control through flight control computer. Reliable prediction of the actuator is important for the aircraft. To estimate the lifetime of a product, it is necessary to test full target life. However, it is very difficult to perform it due to the long life time of actuator but short period of development time with increasing cost. Therefore, accelerated life test has been used to reduce the test time for various reasons such as reducing product's development cycle and cost. In this paper, to predict the lifetime of the actuator, we analyzed the flight profile of aircraft and adapted the method of accelerated life test in order to accelerate failure modes that might occur under user conditions. We also set up an endurance test equipment for validating the demanded lifetime of an actuator and performed accelerated life test.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) generate electricity by electrochemical reactions of hydrogen and oxygen. PEMFCs are expected to alternate electric power generator using fossil fuels with various advantages of high power density, low operating temperature, and environmental-friendly products. PEMFCs have widely been used in a number of applications such as fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) and stationary fuel cell systems. However, there are remaining technical issues, particularly the long-term durability of each part of fuel cells. Degradation of a carbon supported-platinum catalyst in the anode and cathode follows various mechanistic origins in different fuel cell operating conditions, and thus accelerated stress test (AST) is suggested to evaluate the durability of electrocatalyst. In this article, comparable protocols of the AST durability test are intensively explained.

CANFLEX 연료봉 다발의 3000 시간 내구성 시험 기간 동안 속도센서를 사용하여 압력관 내부에 장전된 연료봉 다발의 진동을 측정하였다. 압력관 내부에 장전된 연료봉의 진동측정은 고온, 고압, 그리고 공간적 제약 때문에 가속도계나 스트레인 게이지 같은 접촉센서로는 측정할 수 없다. 비접촉 센서를 사용하면 이러한 난점을 해결하고 압력관 내부에 장전된 연료봉 다발의 진동을 측정할 수 있다. 속도센서는 비접촉 센서로서 가우스(gauss)의 크기를 감지하여 전압을 출력하는 센서이지만, 측정거리, 주파수, 그리고 속도와 가우스가 비선형이기 때문에 교정을 한 후에 사용하여야 한다. 본 본문에는 속도센서의 교정방법과 압력관 내부에 고온, 고압의 유체가 흐를 때 발생하는 연료봉 다발의 진동특성을 구하였다.

In this study, a newly developed ultrasonic fatigue test was performed for durability assessment of polyoxymethylene engineering plastic, which has a high crystallization rate and degree of crystallization. Fatigue strength of POM (polyoxymethylene) was performed on a piezoelectric UFT developed by Mbrosia Co., Ltd(1), operating at a high frequency of 20 kHz. The test results showed a fatigue limit of 5.0~6.0 MPa under fatigue testing at R = -1, 20kHz; and, electron microscopy revealed the size effect by risk volume and fractured dimple structure after the coalescence of micro-voids through the crazing effect, which occurs during the failure of a polymer.

Long-term stability of two type geogrids were evaluated. Membrane drawn type geogrid showed the exponential type tensile property and textile type geogrid showed the rapid increase of tensile property closer toward the break point. Accelerated creep test was done for textile type geogrid but not done for membrane drawn type geogrid because of its thermal property. Creep strain for membrane drawn type geogrid was larger than the ultimate tensile strain by tensile test and reduction factor by creep deformation of textile type geogrid was smaller than that of membrane type geogrid.
