As the size of a wind turbine increases, the rotor diameter increases. Rotor blades experience mechanical loads caused by the wind shear and the tower shadow effect. These mechanical loads reduce the life of the wind turbine. Therefore, with increasing size of the wind turbine, wind turbine control system design for the mitigation of mechanical loads is important. In this study, Individual Pitch Control in introduced for reducing the mechanical loads of rotor blades, and a simulation for IPC performance verification is discussed.

Recently, conductive polymer is known to be direct-drive active material which can convert electrical energy directly into mechanical energy. In this paper, the polymerized thickness of polypyrrole is measured with change of polymerization conditions and the mechanical bending is analyzed for various polymerized thickness. In order to detect of mechanical bending, bending beam method using the bridge shaped sample is used. Thickness of polypyrrole is proportional to polymerization time in fixed current density. Also it shows a linear relation with the applied current except high current density. Maximum displacement appears at the thickness of $18.35{\mu}m$ which has been polymerized at $5.4{\mu}A/mm^2$ and for 120min and actuated at the frequency of 0.1Hz.

The influence of the strain-rate on the thermomechanical characteristics of shape memory alloys (SMAs) is numerically investigated. The three-dimensional SMA constitutive equations of strain-rate effect is developed. The strain-rate effect is taken into account by introducing a coupling equation between the production rate of martensite and the temperature change. For the numerical results, the SMA algorithm is implemented into the ABAQUS finite element program. Numerical simulation shows that the pseudoelasticity of SMA may significantly be changed by considering the strain-rate due to the temperature change.

In order to study the cast structure and mechanical properties of Al-10 % Mg alloy solidified under the various high hydraulic pressure, ranging from $0kgf/cm^2$ to $2000㎏f/cm^2$ , the relationship between the cooling rate and the cast structure was observed, and also the mechanical test and the measurement of the specific gravity were carried out. From this experiment, results were summerized as follows; 1. The cooling rate of the alloy increased with increase of the applied pressure. 2. The formation of the piping and the porosity in the castings was surpressed by applying the high hydraulic pressure. 3. The dendrite arm spacing decreased with increase of the applied pressure. 4. Mechanical properties and specific gravity increased with the increase of the applied pressure.

Acupuncture is a treatment method that originated more than 3,000 years ago in China and is practiced in most of the world. Acupuncture became the most popular complementary and alternative medicine modality. Ultrasound is useful for research and educational purposes, visualizing needle insertion at acupuncture points, especially next to vulnerable structures such as nerves or the pleura. Additionally, ultrasound is an ideal imaging method for evaluation the biomechanical effects of needle manipulation on tissue and has the distinctive advantage of yielding both images of tissue morphology and biomechanical information. Elastography take aim at quantifying a mechanical response or the mechanical property of tissues from a mechanical stimulus, generated internally or externally. Therefore, the combination of ultrasound and elastography analyses allows quantitative assessment of dynamic changes in the structure of human connective tissue.

Post-consumer dairy HIPS bottles were gathered and recycled by the following processes; crushing into flakes, chemical treatment for the purpose of elimination aluminium caps, washing, and separation from other plastics, such as PP, PE, plasticized PVC These HIPS flakes were extruded into the chips using a single screw extruder. Recyclate HIPS chips were mixed with fly ash as an additive in the range of 5-50 wt%, which were formed from coal power plant. Recyclate HIPS chips mixed with fly ash were molded to investigate thermal and mechanical properties. Their samples, thermal and mechanical properties were measured via DSC, TGA, UTM, and impact strength analysis. The probable mechanical properties exhibited the range of 5∼30% fly ash contents for their applications.

국내 제지 산업에서 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 골판지 원지는 주로 국내에서 발생되는고지를 원료로 생산되고있다. 2001년 제지 통계에 따르면 우리나라의 고지재활용율은 세계 최고 수준으로 지류 재활용 비율이 약 72%에 달하며 그중 국산 폐지사용량은 해마다 꾸준히 증가하여 2001년 62%에 이르렀다. 하지만 고지의 재활용율이 증가함에 따라 많은 기술적, 품질적 문제가야기되어 강도저하, 공정 및 품질 저하가 날로 심각해지고있는 것이 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 골판지 원지의 해섬특성을 알아보고 조성이 상이한 원료 물질의 해섬특성 곡선을 조사한 후 골판지 원지의 원료로 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 KOCC의 물성개선 가능성을모색하기 위해 분급 및 기계적 처리를 적용하고 도입 효과를 살펴보았다. 다양한 조성으로 구성된 OCC 고지의 해리에 따른 해섬 현상을 살펴보기 위해 각각의 원지와 조성이 상이한 원료물질의 해섬 특성 곡선을 조사하였다. 저농도 해리기를 이용하여 농도와 revolution의 변수를 주어 해리를 실시하고 스크린을 이용하며 미해리분을 측정하여 해섬 특성 곡선을 평가하였다. 또한 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 원료인 KOCC의 분급에 의한 물성 개선 가능성을 모색하기 위해 실험실적인 모텔링에 의한 분급과 기계적인 처리를 실시하여 물성을 평가하였다. 모델링은 UKP와 KOCC 100%인 골판지 원지를 이용하였으며 압축강도, 인장강도, 파열강도를 측정하였다. 현장에서의 적용가능성을 살펴보기 위해 현장에서의 Multi fractor를 이용하여 분급된 지료를 채취하여 물리적인 처리를 가한 후 수초하여 물성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 분급 및 기계적인 처리에 의한 펄프의 특성은 단섬유의 재활용에 대한 고려가 있을 경우 물성개선을 위한 해결방법으로 활용될 수 있다고 판단되었다.

Crystallization of the amorphous silicon needs activation. Thermal energy through laser annealing, furnace annealing and rapid thermal process (RTP) has been convinced to crystallize the amorphous silicon thin film. It is expected that some other type of energy like mechanical energy can help to crystallize the amorphous silicon thin film. In this study, mechanical energy through wet blasting of silica slurry and silicon ion implantation has been applied to the amorphous silicon thin film deposited with LPCVD technique. RTP was employed for the annealing of this mechanically-damaged amorphous silicon thin film. For the characterization of the crystallized silicon thin film, XRD and Raman analysis were conducted. In this study, it is shown that the mechanical damage is effective to enhance the crystallization of amorphous silicon thin film.

The purpose of this study is to improve the strength and thermal conductivity of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) by embedding various additives. Specimens were prepared using PBT pellets embedded with glass fibers (GF) and boron nitride (BN) powders. The test results showed that tensile strength decreased, and thermal conductivity increased with increasing BN contents. with thermal shock cycles conducted, unfilled PBT showed a considerable decrease in failure strain and strength, whereas strength and thermal conductivity of glass fiber and BN particle-embedded PBT had little differeces. With increasing BN, the thermal conductivity of PBT composites was highly improved.
