The aim of this study is to fabricate composite bone plates consisted of unidirectional biodegradable glass fibers (BGF) and polylactic acid (PLA) and evaluate the performance of the composite bone plates according to the temperature ($50.0^{\circ}C$) of PBS (Phosphate Buffer Saline) solution and exposure time (0~3 weeks). Mechanical characteristics, such as bending stiffness, flexural strength, water uptake and mass loss, were investigated and the results showed that mechanical properties of the plates decreased as soaking duration increased due to loss of composite material.

A brake lever in a basic railway brake system is an important safety device that delivers braking force from the brake cylinder to the brake pad. The safety guidelines for designing rolling stock only qualitatively describe that the brake lever should have sufficient strength. Each train has a different type of brake lever. One brake lever that was designed with a factor of safety of 1.27 has failed, so the material was changed to increase the strength. Therefore, the stress distribution and weak points of the lever were identified by theoretical analysis. and structural analysis. Different brake lever designs were examined for KTX high-speed trains, which have a split-type structure, as well as for electric locomotives, which use an electric multiple unit (EMU) with a unity-type structure. A fracture test was also done to look at the relationship between the vertical stress and the bending stress during braking. The results were used to find a safety factor to apply to each train and suggest quantitative minimum guidelines. We also looked at changing the unity-type EMU brake lever to the split type under the same conditions and analyzed how much the design change affected the factor of safety.

The effects of deposition temperature on chemical vapor deposited silicon carbide (CVD-SiC) were studied to obtain high deposition rates and excellent bending strength characteristics. Silicon carbide prepared at $1250{\sim}1400^{\circ}C$ using methyltrichlorosilane(MTS : $CH_3SiCl_3$) by hot-wall CVD showed deposition rates of $95.7{\sim}117.2{\mu}m/hr$. The rate-limiting reaction showed the surface reaction at less than $1300^{\circ}C$, and the mass transfer dominant region at higher temperature. The activation energies calculated by Arrhenius plot were 11.26 kcal/mole and 4.47 kcal/mole, respectively. The surface morphology by the deposition temperature changed from $1250^{\circ}C$ pebble to $1300^{\circ}C$ facet structure and multi-facet structure at above $1350^{\circ}C$. The cross sectional microstructures were columnar at below $1300^{\circ}C$ and isometric at above $1350^{\circ}C$. The crystal phases were all identified as ${\beta}$-SiC, but (220) peak was observed from $1300^{\circ}C$ or higher at $1250^{\circ}C$ (111) and completely changed to (220) at $1400^{\circ}C$. The bending strength showed the maximum value at $1350^{\circ}C$ as densification increased at high temperatures and the microstructure changed from columnar to isometric. On the other hand, at $1400^{\circ}C$, the increasing of grain size and the direction of crystal growth were completely changed from (111) to (220), which is the closest packing face, so the bending strength value seems to have decreased.

This paper studies the relation between the deformation of platen caused by clamping force, the bending stress and elongation at the tie-bar in injection molding machine of toggle type. These data are analyzed through analytical molding and numerical approach by tensile tester. The effect of bending stress on the stress concentration of teeth and nut system is also analyzed by 2 dimensional numerical approach. The bending stress of tie-bar caused by platen deformation becomes less than 20% of average tensile stress. And the effect of bending stress on stress concentration at teeth and nut system of tie-bar is found to be small.

The PAN (Polyacrylonitrile) based carbon fiber-ceramic composites (CFCC) were prepared from mixtures of short carbon fibers, phenolic resin and ceramic binder. The effects of carbonization temperature of a pre-cursor fiber, the stabilized PAN fiber, on the specific surface area and the bending strength of the activated CFCC were studied in this work. The precursor fiber was carbonized at 80$0^{\circ}C$ and 100$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The CFCC were activated at 85$0^{\circ}C$ in carbon dioxide for 10~90 minutes. As the burn-off of the activated CFCC made of the precursor fiber carbonized at 80$0^{\circ}C$ was increased from 37% to 76%, the specific surface area in-creased from 493m2/g to 1090m2/g, and the bending strength decreased from 4.5MPa to 1.4MPa. These values were about two times larger than those of the activated CFCC of which precursor fiber was car-bonized at 100$0^{\circ}C$. The effects of carbonization temperature of a precursor fiber on the specific surface area and bending strength of the activated CCFC were explained by bonding force between carbon fiber and car-bonized phenolic resin as well as by relative shirnkage between carbon fiber and ceramic film.

Development of flexible electronic devices has primarily focused on printing technology using organic materials. However, organic-based flexible electronics have several disadvantages, including low electrical performance and long-term reliability. Therefore, we fabricated nano- and micro-thick silicon film attached to the polymer substrate using transfer printing technology to investigate the feasibility of silicon-based flexible electronic devices with high performance and high flexibility. Flexibility of the fabricated samples was investigated using bending and stretching tests. The failure bending radius of the 200 nm-thick silicon film attached on a PI substrate was 4.5 mm, and the failure stretching strain was 1.8%. The failure bending radius of the micro-thick silicon film attached on a FPCB was 2 mm, and the failure strain was 3.5%, which showed superior flexibility compared with conventional silicon material. Improved flexibility was attributed to a buffering effect of the adhesive between the silicon film and the substrate. The superior flexibility of the thin silicon film demonstrates the possibility for flexible electronic devices with high performance.

Addition of large particles restrains densification by small particles in mixed particle systems. In the present study, large SiC whiskers or particles were introduced into small particles for restraining densification and the mixtures were sintered using yttrium aluminum garnet (Y$_3$A1$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/, YAG) as a sintering additive. By controlling the content of large SiC whiskers or particles and the applied pressure during sintering, porous SiC ceramics, with a porosity ranging from 0.3% to 39%, were fabricated. Porosity increased with increasing the content of restraining materials. SiC whiskers were more effective than large SiC partcles for restraining densification. Permeability of the porous SiC ceramics increased with increasing the porosity. Flexural strength decreased with increasing porosity. A noticeable increase in strain to failure was observed in the porous ceramics with a porosity ranging from 18% to 39%.

지속적인 고령화 추세에 따라 여성과 고령층의 노동력이 차지하는 비율이 높아지고 있어, 사용하기 편리한 소형농기계의 요구가 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서 사용한 소형 관리기는 정식 작업 전 경운, 정지 등 다양한 작업이 가능한 농기계이다. 본 연구에서는 소형 관리기에 토크 측정 시스템을 구성하였으며, 작업 중 가장 큰 부하를 받는 구굴 작업 부하를 측정하였다. 또한, 작업 시 가장 직접적으로 영향을 받는 PTO (Power Take Off) 기어의 부하 용량(load capacity)을 기어 해석 소프트웨어를 이용하여 분석하였다. PTO 기어의 부하 용량은 안전율, 피로수명을 대상으로 평가하였다. 측정된 부하 데이터는 변동 하중이므로, 부하 크기와 빈도수의 규칙적인 신호로 단순화하기 위하여 레인플로우 카운팅 방법을 사용하였으며, SWT (Smith-Watson-Topper) 방법을 이용하여 공칭 토크를 계산하였다. PTO 기어의 안전율은 ISO 6336, 피로 수명은 마이너 법칙(Miner rule)을 이용하여 계산하였다. PTO의 변속 단수 총 2단이며, 5개의 스퍼 기어로 구성되어 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 소형 관리기의 주행 속도 또는 PTO의 회전속도 증가에 따라 PTO에서 발생하는 평균 부하가 크게 나타났다. 또한 주행 단수 및 PTO 기어 단수가 증가할수록 기어의 안전율과 피로 수명이 감소하였으며, 특히 PTO 기어의 안전율은 접촉 응력에서의 안전율보다 굽힘 응력에서의 안전율이 급격하게 감소하였다. 소형 관리기의 PTO 수명은 주행 단수 2단, PTO 단수 2단 일 때 가장 적게 나타났다. 따라서 소형 관리기의 주행 속도와 PTO 회전 속도를 저속으로 작업하는 것이 PTO 기어의 수명에 더 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

Mechanical properties of rice plants were tested to determine compressive force, bending force, tensile force and shear force for improvement of harvesting machines and for efficient utilization of rice culm during the proper harvesting period. Rice varieties used in this study were two Japonica varieties with Irri 348 and Jinju, and two $Indica{\times}Japonica$ hybrids with Seogwang and Taebaeg, which were grown in the standard fertilization field of Chungnam Rural Development Office. Also Jinju and Taebaeg were tested to elucidate the shearing characteristics which included shear force-strain relationship, shear force and shear energy according to the position from the ground level, the shearing angle to the rice culm, and the moisture content. 1. Compressive force, bending force, tensile force and shear force were higher In Japonica varieties than $Indica{\times}Japonica$ hybrids. 2. Shear force to overall culm length decreased progressively to upper positions in Jinju variety but a constant shear force was approximately showed between the ground level and the position of 21cm in Taebaeg variety. 3. Shear force and shear energy increased with increase of the cross sectional area, and the rates of increase were high in general up to the cross sectional area of $10mm^2$ and then they became dull very much. 4. Shear force and shear energy decreased with decrease of moisture content of rice culm after cutting up to the moisture content of 60% (w. b.) and then they did not change significantly.
