This study was conducted to judge requalification of cylinders by assessing composite flaws such as scratches, cuts, and gouges damaging on the composite of Type III cylinders for compressed natural gas vehicles. As a result of the flaw tolerance test, all specimens have satisfied with minimum requirement cycles according to damage levels based on ISO 19078 and cyclic performance for pressure showed beyond twenty thousands in damage level 1 and 2, and did eighteen thousands to twenty-one thousands in damage level 3. Eight of twelve specimens failed the test due to composite flaws and the rest of the cylinders failed regardless of flaws. The results of Finite Element Method followed by the computer simulation indicated that the stress of 79.5 MPa calculated on the flaw model of $1.25\;mm{\times}200\;mm$ and the stress of 66.6 MPa on the non-flaw model when the service pressure applied to inside of cylinder. The difference between the models is about 19.37%. We concluded that this difference influences fatigue life and this flaw model is a critical value affecting cyclic performance of cylinders.

DNA 컴퓨팅은 분자 수준(molecular level)에서 연산을 수행한다. 따라서 일반적인 실리콘 기반의 컴퓨터에서와는 달리, 순차적인 연산 제어를 보장하기 어렵다는 특징이 있다. 그러나 DNA 컴퓨팅은 화학반응에 기초한 연산이기 때문에, 실험자가 의도한 연산을 많은 수의 분자에 동시에 적용할 수 있으므로 실리콘 기반의 컴퓨터와는 비교할 수 없는 병렬 연산을 구현할 수 있다. 병렬 연산을 구현하고자 할 때, 일반적으로 연산에 사용하는 모든 DNA 분자들을 대상으로 연산을 구현할 수도 있다. 그러나 전체가 아닌 일부의 분자들을 상대로 연산을 수행하는 것 역시 가능하며 이 때 자연스러운 방법으로 사용할 수 있는 방법이 배깅(Bagging)이나 부스팅(Boosting)과 같은 앙상블(ensemble) 계열의 학습 방법이다. 일반적인 부스팅과 달리 가중치를 부여하는 것이 아니라 특정 학습자(learner)를 나타내는 분자들을 증폭한다면 가중치를 분자의 양으로 표현하는 것이 가능하므로 분자 수준에서 앙상블 계열의 학습을 구현하는 것이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 앙상블 계열의 학습 방법 중 특히 부스팅의 효과를 DNA 컴퓨팅에 응용하고자 할 때, 어떤 방법이 가능하며, 표현 과정에서 고려해야 할 사항은 어떠한 것들이 있는지 고려하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 규모를 사전에 한정할 수 없는 진화 가능한 그래프 구조(evolutionary graph structure)를 학습할 수 있는 방법을 찾아보고자 한다. 진화 가능한 그래프 구조는 기존의 DNA 컴퓨팅 방법으로는 학습할 수 없는 문제이다. 그러나 조합 가능한 수를 사전에 정의할 수 없기 때문에 분자의 수에 상관없이 동일한 연산 시간에 문제를 해결할 수 있는 DNA 컴퓨팅의 장정을 가장 잘 발휘할 수 있는 문제이기도 하다.개별 태스크의 특성에 따른 성능 조절과 태스크의 변화에 따른 빠른 반응을 자랑으로 한다. 본 논문에선 TIB 알고리즘을 리눅스 커널에 구현하여 성능을 평가하였고 그 결과 리눅스에서 사용되는 기존 인터벌 기반의 알고리즘들에 비해 좋은 전력 절감 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.과는 한식 외식업체들이 고객들의 재구매 의도를 높이기 위해서는 한식 외식업체의 서비스요인, 식음료요인, 이벤트 요인 등을 강화함으로써 전반적인 종사원 서비스 품질과 식음료품질을 높이는 전략을 취해야 한다는 것을 시사해주고 있다. 본 연구는 대구 경북소재 한식 외식업체만을 대상으로 하여 연구를 실시하여 연구의 일반화와 한식 외식업체를 이용하는 이용 고객들이 한식 외식업체를 재방문하는 재구매 의도가 발생하는데 있어 발생하는 과정을 설명하는 종단적 연구를 실시하지 못한 한계점을 가지고 있다.아직 산업 디자인이 품질경쟁력에 크게 영향을 미치는 성숙단계에 이르지 못하였음을 의미한다.

Oil paints are mixtures of pigments, drying oils and additives. In the past, oil paints were mainly composed of inorganic pigments. However, recently color matching techniques vary depending on manufacturers due to the development of various kinds of synthetic pigments. Despite this, most studies of oil paints in South Korea are about durability tests, and there is no comparative study on the characteristics of commercial oil paint components. This study aims to compare the properties of four different kinds of oil paints from four manufacturers, which are the most popularity used. Extender pigments in oil paint from C brand differed from that of other manufacturers and various kinds of coloring pigments were differently used depending on the oil paints and the manufacturers. The mixing ratios and the pigment types differed even for oil paints having the same product name. It is assumed that these differences could affect the colors. The result of this study is expected to contribute to the analysis of artworks through the accumulation of scientific data of oil paints. In addition, it can be utilized as a scientific basis for art history studies, including the characteristics of artists or production year.

The purpose of the present study is first to refine the mathematical material models for moisture and temperature distributions in early-age concrete and then to incorporate those models into finite element procedure. The three dimensional finite element program developed in the present study can determine the degree of hydration, temperature and moisture distribution in hardening concrete. It is assumed that temperature and humidity fields are fully uncoupled and only the degree of hydration is coupled with two state variables. Mathematical formulation of degree of hydration Is based on the combination of three rate functions of reaction. The effect of moisture condition as well as temperature on the rate of reaction is considered in the degree of hydration model. In moisture transfer, diffusion coefficient is strongly dependent on the moisture content in pore system. Many existing models describe this phenomenon according to the composition of mixture, especially water to cement ratio, but do not consider the age dependency. Microstructure is changing with the hydration and thus transport coefficients at early ages are significantly higher because the pore structure in the cement matrix is more open. The moisture capacity and sink are derived from age-dependent desorption isotherm. Prediction of a moisture sink due to the hydration process, i.e. self-desiccation, is related to autogenous shrinkage, which may cause early-age cracking in high strength and high performance concrete. The realistic models and finite element program developed in this study provide fairly good results on the temperature and moisture distribution for early-age concrete and correlate very well with actual test data.

Recently, the concern on the receipt of poor ready-mixed concrete in the construction field and the durability of concrete has been increased. Based on the such background, a large number of measuring methods of water content for fresh concrete have been developed and enforced in a developed country. In this study, to investigate practicality for quality control of ready-mixed concrete among various water content measurement techniques, microwave range method, air meter method and capacitance measurement method as measuring methods of water content were selected. Then, it was evaluated estimating performance of water content according to the change of binder types, fine aggregate types, absorption ratio, water content and water-binder ratio in series I and II. Also, it was examined influence on error occurrence of water content according to change of properties of used materials in series III. Finally, based on this study, it was proposed fundamental data to utilize measurement technique of water content to quality control of ready-mixed concrete in construction field.

Silica fume is generally adopted as admixture for Ultra High Strength Concrete (UHSC) owing to its remarkable contribution to the strength and durability but increases significantly the fabrication cost of UHSC. Accordingly, this study investigates the replacement of silica fume by blast furnace slag (BS) and fly ash (FA) in order to lower the fabrication cost of 80MPa-UHSC. To that goal, experiment is conducted on the mix proportions of mortar in terms of its binder combination, water-to-binder ratio (W/B) and unit binder content. Based on the experimental data, a mix design of concrete is derived and its properties are verified. The results reveal that a W/B of 21% and unit binder content of $720kg/m^3$ are appropriate to achieve 80MPa-UHSC using a binder composed of 60% of OPC, 30% of BS and 10% of FA. The properties of the corresponding UHSC are seen to be satisfactory with a slump flow of 715mm and compressive strength of 97MPa at 28days. The application of the binder combination derived in this study is analyzed to reduce the cost by 50% of binder compared to the mix using silica fume while realizing equivalent performance.

Cold and hot-rolled carbon steel sheets are commonly used in railroad cars or commercial vehicles such as the automobile. The sheets used in these applications are mainly fabricated by spot welding, which is a type of electric resistance welding. However, the fatigue strength of a spot-welded joint is lower than that of the base metal because of high stress concentration at the nugget edge of the spot-welded part. In particular, the fatigue strength of the joint is influenced by not only geometrical and mechanical factors but also the welding conditions for the spot-welded joint. Therefore, there is a need for establishing a reasonable criterion for a long-life design for spot-welded structures. In this thesis, ${\Delta}P-N_f$ relation curves have been used to determine a long-life fatigue-design criterion for thin-sheet structures. However, as these curves vary under the influence of welding conditions, mechanical conditions, geometrical factors, etc. It is very difficult to systematically determine a fatigue-design criterion on the basis of these curves. Therefore, in order to eliminate such problems, the welding residual stresses generated during welding and the stress distributions around the weld generated by external forces were numerically and experimentally analyzed on the basis of the results, reassessed fatigue strength of gas welded joints.

This paper presents a solution to the inverse problem for the service boundary conditions of thermal-flow and structure analysis in a catalyst substrate. The exhaust-gas purification efficiency of a catalyst substrate is influenced by the shape parameter, catalyst ingredients and so on and is estimated by the thermal flow uniformity. The formulations of the inverse problem of obtaining the thermal-flow parameters (inlet temperature, velocity, heat of reaction, convective heat-transfer coefficient) and the direct problem of estimating from a given outlet temperature distribution are described. An experiment was designed and the response-surface optimization technique was used to solve the proposed inverse problem. The temperature distribution of the catalyst substrate was obtained by thermal-flow analysis for the predicted thermal-flow parameters. The thermal stress and durability assessments for the catalyst substrate were performed on the basis of this temperature distribution. The efficiency and accuracy of the inverse approach have been demonstrated through the achievement of good agreement between the thermal-flow response surface model and the results of experimental vehicle tests.

마찰교반접합(Friction Stir Welding)은 1991년 영국 TWI에서 개발된 접합 법으로서 일정한 속도로 회전하는 툴이 재료내부에 삽입 되면서 툴과 재료사이에서 마찰열이 발생하여 연화된 재료와 접합 툴 사이에서의 기계적 교반에 의해 소성변형이 일어남과 동시에 접합이 이루어진다. 마찰교반접합은 동적 재결정에 의한 접합부의 미세한 결정립 형성으로 인하여 기계적 특성이 향상되며 보호 가스가 필요 없어 친환경적임과 동시에 용융 용접 법에 비해 접합 시 에너지 소모가 적다는 장점이 있다. 마찰교반접합은 기존의 저융점 재료에 관한 접합을 넘어서 최근에는 철계 합금, 타이타늄 합금, 니켈계 합금 등 고융점 재료에서의 적용에 관한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 마찰교반접합을 이용하여 위와 같은 강한 재료를 접합하기 위해서는 내구성이 갖추어진 툴이 반드시 수반된다. 슈퍼 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강은 염화물의 농도가 높은 부식 환경에 적용되는 소재로서, 공식(pitting corrosion) 및 틈부식 (crevice corrosion)에 대한 내식성을 높이기 위하여 Mo의 함량을 6%로 낮추고 20~25% Cr과 Ni을 첨가하여 사용된다. 이러한 고합금의 슈퍼 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강은 여타 내식성 합금에 비하여 내식성이 매우 우수한 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근 SO2 배출에 대하여 규제가 강화되면서 화력 발전소용 탈황 설비 중 일부 장비에서 6% Mo가 첨가된 슈퍼 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강의 사용이 늘어나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $Si_3N_4$ 툴을 사용하여 Mo이 6% 첨가된 슈퍼 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강인 1925hMo강을 마찰교반접합하였다. 툴 회전속도 (200rpm, 300rpm, 460rpm, 700rpm)를 변수로 하여 접합을 실시하였다. 접합 후 외관상태를 점검하였으며 광학현미경 (optical microscope)과 주사전자현미경 (scanning electron microscope)을 사용하여 미세조직 관찰을 하였으며 경도 및 인장강도 측정 등의 실험을 통하여 접합부의 기계적 특성을 평가하였다. 그 후 이러한 결과를 통하여 미세조직과 기계적 특성과의 관련성을 조사하였다.

In order to improve the dimensional stability and durability of wood, this study attempted to impregnate bismuth (Bi) - tin (Sn) alloy metal with low melting temperature into solid woods of three species such as radiata pine, red oak and white oak, and investigated to determine an optimum condition of manufacturing the metal alloy-wood composites with natural wood grains. These Bi-Sn alloys were chosen for this study because they were harmless to human and melting at low temperatures. The composites resulted in high dimensional stability and low thickness swelling, and also showed much improved performance such as high bending strength, high hardness, high electric conductivity, and high thermal conductivity as floor materials. A proper impregnating condition of all specimens was determined as 10 minutes of the preliminary vacuum time, and $185^{\circ}C$ of the heating temperature. The proper processing condition for radiata pine wood was 2.5 minutes of the pressuring time at the pressure of $10kgf/cm^2$. For red oak wood, 10 minutes of the pressuring time at the pressure of $30kgf/cm^2$ were the proper condition. The proper manufacture conditions for white oak wood was determined as 10 minutes of the pressuring time at the pressure of $50kgf/cm^2$.
