In this study, we investigated the dispersion characteristics of guided waves in thin films. Dispersion curves are essential for understanding not only the behavior of ultrasonic waves, but also the mechanical properties of thin films. Matrix techniques are presented for modeling ultrasonic waves in multilayered structures before being used to calculate the dispersion curves for Al-steel and Al-composite specimens. When compared with the dispersion curves obtained using the commercial program (Disperse), the dispersion curves generated from the transfer matrix method show its validity. These developed methods are used to obtain dispersion curves for Al thin films deposited on a Si substrate. The resulting dispersion curves enable observation of both dispersive and non-dispersive behavior for the guided waves, depending on the thickness of the thin films.

In this study, we have developed a program which can calculate phase and group velocities, attenuation and wave structures of each mode in multi-layered plates. The wave structures of each mode are obtained, varying material properties and number of layers. The key in the success of guided wave NDE is how to optimize the mode selection scheme by minimizing energy loss when a structure is in contact with liquid. In this study, the normalized out-of-plane displacements at the surface of a free plate are used to predict the variation of modal attenuation and verily the correlation between attenuation and wave structure. It turns out that the guided wave attenuation can be efficiently obtain from the out-of-plane displacement variation of a free wave guide alleviating such mathematical difficulties in extracting complex roots for the eigenvalue problem of a liquid loaded wave guide. Through this study, the concert to optimize guided wave mode selection is accomplished to enhance sensitivity and efficiency in nondestructive evaluation for multi-layered structures.

A double-layer LED array together with an illumination optical system is proposed as a possible light source for LC projection display systems for large screens, up to $8m{\times}6m$ (400 inches diagonal). The heat dissipation problem of the LED array is solved by arranging the LEDs in double layers, and thermal analysis shows its effectiveness. The light from the LEDs in the back layer can be transmitted through the front layer without significant loss by arranging the LEDs in non-overlapping positions in the two layers and inserting suitable microlenses between the two layers and holes in the first layer. Together with the double-layer LEDs, an illumination optical system is designed to illuminate liquid crystal panels with good uniformity and appropriate matching with the projection optics.

As a significant technology in the smartization era promoted by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the secondary battery industry has recently attracted significant attention. The demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which exhibit excellent performance, is considerably increasing in different industrial fields. During the manufacturing process of LIBs, it is necessary to join the cathode and anode sheets with thicknesses of several tens of micrometers to lead taps of the cathode and anode with thicknesses of several hundreds of micrometers. Ultrasonic welding exhibits excellent bonding when bonded with very thin plates, such as negative and positive electrodes of LIBs, and dissimilar and highly conductive materials. In addition, ultrasonic welding has a small heat-affected zone. In LIBs, Cu is mainly used as the negative electrode sheet, whereas Cu or Ni is used as the negative electrode tab. In this study, one or two electrode sheets (t0.025 mm Cu) were welded to one lead tab (t0.1 mm Cu). The welding energy and pressure were used as welding parameters to determine the welding strength of the interface between two or three welded materials. Finally, the effects of these welding parameters on the welding strength were investigated.

Significant efforts have been devoted to developing high-performance composite materials by emulating the structure of biological creatures with superior mechanical characteristics. Nacre has been one of the most sought-after natural structures due to its exceptional fracture toughness compared with the constituent materials. However, the effect of manipulating the nacre-like geometry on the impact performance has not been fully investigated thus far. In this study, composites of randomly manipulated nacreous geometry are numerically developed and the impact performance is analyzed. We develop an algorithm by which the planar area of platelets in the nacre-like design is randomly resized. Thereafter, the numerical models of nonuniform nacre-patterned multi-layer structures are developed and the drop-weight impact simulation is performed. The impact behaviors of the model are evaluated by using the ratio of absorbed energy, the von Mises stress distribution, and the impact force-time curve. Therefore, the effect of the geometric irregularity on the nacre-patterned design is elucidated. This insight can be efficiently utilized in establishing the optimum design of the nacre-patterned structure.

In this study, evaluation of acoustic emission signals characteristics for the post weld heat treated (PWHT) multi-pass weldment and weldment was dealt. Charpy standard specimens were taken from the lowest, middle and highest regions of the weld block. Pre-crack was made using the repeated load. Four point bend and AE tests were conducted simultaneously. Regardless of the specimens, AE signals were absent within elastic region and produced in the process of plastic deformation. AE signals for all specimens were not emitted after the maximum load. Value of signal strength for the all PWHT specimens was lower than that of the weldment. Besides, relations of plastic deformation zone size and accumulated AE counts for the PWHT specimens were more simple compared with the weldment. In case of the PWHT specimen, particles on the fractured surface decreased prominently compared with the weldment due.to PWHT. From these results, it can be concluded that PWHT was effective in reducing the AE sources for the weldment.

Increasing the total length of waveguide-below-cutoff array(WBCA) as it is used to the duct in order to enhance shielding effectiveness, the design could cause higher cost, higher levels of difficulties in construction and the interruption a flow velocity. The multi-layered WBCA can compensate for this problem, which can be designed by crossing each waveguide layer. By conducting simulations from 2-layer to 8-layer structure, it can be observed that the shielding effectiveness increases from 52 dB to 75 dB. Comparing with the original WBCA in a shape of mono layer rectangular, our proposed waveguide becomes similar with the original value as the number of crossing layer increases. In addition, the analysis with the flow of fluid in the duct installed multi-layered WBCA are required. We demonstrate this analysis by doing the flow of fluid simulation, and concluded that the multi-layered WBCA has loss of flow of fluid less than unit rectangular WBCA.

This paper presents the subparametric finite element model formulated by partial-linear layerwise theory for the analysis of laminate composites. The proposed model is based on refined approximations of two dimensional plane for orthotropic thick laminate plate as well as thin case. Three dimensional problem can be reduced to two dimensional case by assuming piecewise linear variation of in-plane displacement and a constant value of out-of-plane displacement across the thickness. The integrals of Legendre polynomials are chosen to define displacement fields and Gauss-Lobatto numerical integration is implemented in order to directly obtain maximum values occurred at the nodal points of each layer without other extrapolation techniques. The validity and characteristics of the proposed model have been tested by using orthotropic multilayered plate problem as compared to the values available in the published references. In this study, the convergence test has been carried out to determine the optimal layer model in terms of central deflection and stresses. Also, the distribution of displacements and stresses across the thickness has been investigated as the number of layer is increased.

압전재료를 이용한 능동진동제어에 관한 연구동향과 연구결과를 살펴보았다. 능동 진동제어에 사용되고 있는 감지기/작동기들 중 압전세라믹은 몇 가지 장점을 지니고 있어 그 적용에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있는 것이 현실이며 실제 구조 물로의 적용이 이루어지고 있다. 압전세라믹을 이용한 진동제어는 박판으로 이루어진 국부구조물의 진동제어에 적합하며 그래서 자동차의 진동소음제어, 위성체 태양판의 진동제어에 사용할 수 있고 또한 겹쳐놓은 형태의 압전세라믹은 트러스 구조물의 능동 멤버로 활용할 수 있다. 이렇게 겹쳐놓은 압전세라믹 구조는 진동 고립(vibration isolation)을 원하는 장비의 지지대로 사용할 수 있어 그 응용분야가 넓다. 최근까지 도 압전세라믹을 이용한 진동제어는 주로 외팔보, 또는 평판과 같은 단순한 기하학적 형상을 가진 구조물에 국한되어 연구가 진행되어 왔고 제어기법 또한 그동안 전기 제어분야에서 개발되어 온 기법들을 적용하는 현상을 보였는데 구조물의 자유도가 무한대임을 고려할때 앞으로 구조물에 합당한 제어기법의 개발이 요망된다고 하겠다. 이 논문에서 선보인 PPF와 SRF 제어 기법은 필자가 간단히 회로를 구성하여 실험을 수행하였는데 압전재료의 진동제어 기법으로 단순하면서도 효율적인 제어기법이라고 말할 수 있다. 압전재료를 이용한 진동제어에 관한 국내의 연구활동이 미미한 상태 이으로 이분야에 대한 연구자들의 관심을 모을 필요가 있다. 압전세라믹 감지기와 작동기의 설치는 그동안 압전세라믹 판을 직접 구조물에 접착시킨 형태로 진행되었 는데 새로운 형태의 압전세라믹 작동기의 개발이 시급하다. 이는 높은 전압을 필요로 하는 진동제어는 필수적으로 커다란 부대시설을 요구하게 됨으로 전압을 높이지 않고 도 진동제어를 효율적으로 할 수 있는 압전세라믹의 제조가 필요하다고 하겠다. 필자 는 이런 목적으로 다층 압전세라믹(multilayer piezoceramic plate)을 제작한 적이 있었는데 실험결과는 신통치 않았다. 또한 압전세라믹을 길고 얇은 조각으로 잘라 사용하는 방법로 있었으나 세라믹의 절단시 다이아몬드 컷터를 사용해야 되어 제작이 곤란했다. 또한 압전세라믹이 부서지기 쉬운점을 개선한다면 진동제어에 있어 아주 효과적인 감지기/작동기가 될 수 있을 것이다.
