Recently, the need of developing eco-friendly materials has been required with restriction strengthening on environment and energy saving by the resource depletion worldwide. These trends are not an exception in transport industry including automobile. In addition, these materials have to fulfill not only the high quality and cheap price but also the high-performance which meet the needs of costumer and society. Among the various materials, carbon fiber-reinforced composite which is actively studying for lightweight of the automobile is one of the most suitable candidates. Indeed, the carbon fiber-reinforced composites are used as the essential materials to substitute body and other parts in automobile and the demand is increasing largely. Carbon fiber-applied automobile has improved brake, steering, durability and high fuel efficiency, leading to the energy conservation and minimizing carbon dioxide emissions. This paper focuses on the necessity of carbon fiber-reinforced composites for lightweight of automobile and its technical trends.

Corrosion of steel embedded in concrete is one of the foremost factors that affect the durability of concrete structures in marine environments. This paper presents an application technique of anode-ladder-system to evaluate corrosion behaviours of marine concrete structure. In order to investigate the behaviours quantitatively, the measurement of potential and current was performed on the concrete elements subjected to the penetration and diffusion of chloride ions. The main variable was the heights from seawater level; namely 3.7, 6.0 and 8.2 m. As a result of the monitoring, it was found that the corrosion characteristics differently behaved with the increasing height. Additionally, through migration test, the relationship between compressive strength of concrete and diffusivity of chloride ions was observed. It is suggested, ultimately, that in order to reduce or mitigate steel corrosion, both appropriate concrete cover depth and high-quality of concrete in early ages should be done.

Nowadays, market demand of structural Glulam is growing and diversifying. The durability of Glulam should be significantly considered when they are intended to apply for out-door use such as timber bridge and pergola. This study was aimed to develop the manufacturing process of preservative treated structural Glulam using domestic softwood species. 10 m long structural Glulam were manufactured from domestic pitch pine logs with CuAz-3 preservative treatment. At each manufacturing process, the production yield was evaluated. Finally, bending tests were performed to verify the structural performance of manufactured Glulam. From the results, it was shown that the preservative treatment process hardly influenced on the production yield. But domestic pitch pine was proved to not be suitable for making the preservative treated Glulam due to the large difference of preservative permeability between sapwood and heartwood.

Hydration and physical characteristics of chemically-bonded phosphate ceramic (CBPC) binder based on dead-burned Mg-O with six different blends are investigated for efficient repair construction material by retarding set phase with $H_3BO_3$. The test specimen of the blender with silica fume shows higher compressive strength after 75 days. The CBPC with silica fume results in higher modulus of rupture that others. The test specimens of CBPC eludes lower calcium ion than that of OPC (Ordinay Portland Cement). The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that hydration results in the formation of magnesium hydroxide, M-S-H gel and $MgCO_3$ for the specimen with silica fumes. Combination with calcium for MgO is not desirable due to no formation of chemical bond between two components. Based on the experimental program, the mixture of MgO and silica fume shows efficient performance in strength and durability.

글래스(glass), 폴리머 또는 쿼츠와 같은 투명기판은 렌즈, 디스플레이, 광검출기, 광센서, 발광다이오드 및 태양전지와 같은 광 및 광전소자 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 소자들의 경우, 광추출 또는 광흡수 효율을 향상시키는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그러나 투명기판의 경우, 약 1.5의 굴절율로 인해 표면에서 4% 반사가 발생되는데, 이러한 광학적 손실은 소자의 성능을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 따라서, 글래스와 공기 경계면에서 발생되는 광손실을 줄이기 위한 효율적인 무반사 코팅이 필요하다. 최근, 우수한 내구성 뿐만 아니라, 광대역 파장 및 다방향성에서 무반사 특성을 보이는 서브파장 주기를 갖는 나노구조(subwavelength structures)의 형성 및 제작 공정에 관한 연구가 보고되고 있다. 이러한 나노구조는 경사 굴절율 분포를 가지는 유효 매질을 형성하기 때문에 투명기판 표면에서의 Fresnel 반사로 인한 광손실을 줄일 수 있다. 또한, 무반사 서브파장구조를 형성하기 위한 패터닝 방법으로, 간단/저렴하고 대면적 제작이 용이한 열적 응집 공정을 이용한 자가정렬된 금속 나노입자 형성 기술이 널리 사용되고 있다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 열적 응집현상에 의해 형성된 비주기적 금 나노입자 식각 마스크 패턴 및 유도결합 플라즈마 장비를 이용하여 글래스 기판 위에 무반사 서브파장 나노구조를 제작하였다. 금 나노패턴 및 제작된 글래스 서브파장 나노구조의 식각 프로파일은 주사전자현미경을 사용하여 관찰하였으며, UV-Vis-NIR 스펙트로미터를 사용하여 빛의 투과율을 측정하였다. 또한, 제작된 샘플들에 대해서, 표면 접촉각 측정 장비를 이용하여 표면 wettability를 조사하였다.

In this study, mix proportioning of porous concrete with compressive strength and porosity exceeding 3MPa and 30%, respectively, was examined and then load capacity and flexural toughness of the porous concrete block were evaluated according to the different arrangements of the GFRP bars. To achieve the designed requirements of porous concrete, it can be recommended that water-to-cement ratio and cement-to-coarse aggregate ratio are 25% and 20%, respectively, under the aggregate particle distribution of 15~20mm. The failure mode of porous concrete blocks reinforced with GFRP bars was governed by shear cracks. As a result, very few flexural resistance of the GFRP was expected. However, the enhanced shear strength of porous concrete due to the dowel action of the GFRP bars increased the load capacity and toughness of the blocks. The porous concrete blocks reinforced with one GFRP bar at each compressive and tensile regions had 2.1 times higher load capacity than the companion non-reinforced block and exhibited a high ductile behavior with the ultimate toughness index ($I_{30}$) of 43.4.

Cutting performance and wear behavior were studied with the diamond micro-blade of Cu/Sn bond materials containing various amount of lubricant materials such as graphite and $MoS_2$. Measurement of instantaneous electric power consumption for cutting glass workpiece at the constant velocity was conducted and proposed as a method to assess cutting efficiency. The energy consumption of micro-blade for glass cutting decreased with the content of graphite and $MoS_2$ while wear amount of blade in volume increased with the amount of lubricant addition during the dicing test. It is because that hardness, flexural strength, and fracture toughness ($K_{IC}$) reduced with the amount of lubricant addition. Blades with $MoS_2$ additive showed higher mechanical properties than those with graphite additives when the same amount of the lubricant additive in wt.% was added. Due to the lower density of graphite than $MoS_2$, higher volume fraction of graphite could result in stronger effect on lowering electric power consumption by reducing the friction between blade and work piece however increasing wear rate due to the reduction in strength and fracture toughness. Adhesive wearing mode of micro blade could be remarkably improved by the addition of graphite as well as $MoS_2$.

$TiO_2$는 기계적, 화학적 안정성이 높아 가혹한 화학적 환경 또는 고온 운전 조건에서 훌륭한 내구성을 보여주어 산업적으로 일찍이 널리 이용되어 왔다. 예를 들어, 염소발생 (chlorine evolution reaction) 또는 산소발생반응은 (oxygen evolution reaction) 염소 또는 산소 라디칼에 전극이 지속적으로 노출되기에 강한 내부식성을 지닌 전극재가 요구되었고, 그 결과 $TiO_2$를 골조로 한 불용성전극 (dimensionally stable anode)이 개발되어 이용되고 있다. 그러나, $TiO_2$는 절연성이 높은 금속 산화물 재료이기 때문에 넓은 표면적 획득 및 촉매제 사용을 통해 소재의 단점을 극복해야만 한다. 넓은 반응 표면적 획득의 한 방법으로써 전기화학적 양극산화 (electrochemical anodization)를 통한 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브 제조법은 경제적이면서도 구조 제어도 간편한 방법이다. $TiO_2$ 나노튜브는 100nm 전후의 기공 크기를 가짐과 동시에 매우 높은 종횡비를 지니고 있어 넓은 반응 표면적 획득에 특히 유리하다. 그러나, 이 높은 종횡비는 촉매 도입을 어렵게 하는 저해요소가 되기도 한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 다양한 방법들이 연구되었으나 대부분이 번거롭거나 비싼 후단공정을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브에 촉매를 도핑하기 위한 간단한 전기화학적 방법으로, 단일공정 양극산화법 (single-step anodization)과 전압충격법 (potential shock), 그리고 저전압충격법 (under potential shock)을 연구하였으며 이에 적용 가능한 촉매제의 종류를 소개한다. 또한, 촉매의 성질에 따른 응용분야와 그 성능평가 결과를 제시한다.

Extensive research effort has been made during the last decade to utilize wireless smart sensors for evaluating and monitoring structural integrity of civil engineering structures. The wireless smart sensor commonly has sensing and embedded computation capabilities as well as wireless communication that provide strong potential to overcome shortcomings of traditional wired sensor systems such as high equipment and installation cost. However, sensor malfunctioning particularly in case of long-term monitoring and unreliable wireless communication in harsh environment are the critical issues that should be properly tackled for a wider adoption of wireless smart sensors in practice. This study presents a wireless smart sensor network(WSSN) that can estimate unmeasured responses for the purpose of data recovery at unresponsive sensor nodes. A software program that runs on WSSN is developed to estimate the unmeasured responses from the measured using the Kalman filter. The performance of the developed network software is experimentally verified by estimating unmeasured acceleration responses using a simply-supported beam.
