In this paper, progressive failure analysis is performed on composite joints widely used in various industries such as the aerospace industry. The analysis was conducted on single bolted joints to confirm its reliability and in succession on double-bolted composite joints as well to study the characteristics of progressive failure. Hashin failure criteria and EGDM (energy based gradual degradation model) were used for the analysis. Failure variables are defined by four failure modes, respectively. According to the variables, stiffness degradation has been calculated. As a result of comparing the test and analysis results of single-bolted joints, the error was below 5% and it showed that the analytical results are rather credible. Also, the parametric analysis consequences were obtained conducting the process-progressive failure analysis on the double-bolted composite joints considering edge-distance ratio (e/d ratio) and bolt spacing.

Crystal structure, microstructure, and dielectric properties of the (Ca, Sr)(Zr, Ti)O₃ (CSZT) system has been studied as a function of sintering temperature and MgO addition for microwave applications. A single-phase CSZT powder with the orthorhombic crystal structure was obtained by the solid-state reaction method. The powder compacts were sintered at 1200℃, 1300℃, and 1400℃ respectively. All the sintered samples had a single-phase orthorhombic crystal structure and grain size increased with sintering temperature. In the case of 1 mol% MgO addition, the orthorhombic crystal structure was the main phase; however, a secondary phase appeared during sintering at 1400℃, as determined by EDS analysis. At 1400℃, the undoped and MgO-doped CSZT had almost similar grain size distribution and densification but the grain size distribution became slightly narrow. The MgO-doped CSZT showed excellent low-loss dielectric properties: ε_r = 34.14, tanδ = 0.00047, τ_ε = -3.58 ppm/℃ at 1 MHz.

-ray fluorescence analysis of $Ta_2O_5$, $Nb_2O_5$ and $ZrO_2$ in tin-slag samples using the simple dilution method was studied. The method is to correct mathematically the calibration curve to the linear line by the dilution. One synthesized standard having similar composition to the sample and tin slag samples were diluted with anhydrous $Li_2B_4O_7$ at the level of 1%, 2% and 3% of the sample content respectively. The diluted samples were fused at $1150^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes and these glass beads were finely ground and pelletized. Measuring the X-ray intensities with these pellets, analytical results were calculated by the equation derived from J. Scherman's equation for the characteristic X-ray intensity of an element. Analytical results agreed with the reference values obtained by the standard calibration method within allowable error range and were reproducible.

Thermal barrier coating (TBC) is an essential element consisting of a super-alloy base and ceramic coating designed to achieve long operational time under a high temperature and pressure environment. However, the top coat of TBC can be delaminated at certain temperatures with long operation time. As the delamination of TBC is directly related to the blade damage, the coupling status of the TBC should be assured for reliable operation. Conventional studies of nondestructive evaluation have been made for detecting generation of thermally grown oxide (TGO) or qualitatively evaluating delamination in TBC. In this study, the ultrasonic C-scan method was developed to obtain the damage map inside TBC by estimating the delamination in a quantitative way. All specimens were isothermally degraded at $1,100^{\circ}C$ with different time, having different partial delamination area. To detect partial delamination in TBC, the C-scan was performed by a single transducer using pulse-echo method with normal incidence. Partial delamination coefficients of 1 mm to 6 mm were derived by the proportion of the surface reflection signal and flaw signal which were theoretical signals using Rogers-Van Buren and Kim's equations. Using the partial delamination coefficients, the partial delamination maps were obtained. Regardless of the partial delamination coefficient, partial delamination area was increased when degradation time was increased in TBC. In addition, a decrease in partial delamination area in each TBC specimen was observed when the partial delamination coefficient was increased. From the portion of the partial delamination maps, the criterion for delamination was derived.

Piezoelectric composites have been widely used in broadband acoustic transducers because of their lower acoustic impedance and higher electro-mechanical coupling factor. However, their complex structure has placed many limitations on the design of various transducers. This paper suggests the methodology to substitute the 1-3 piezocomposites by a single-phased material that has properties equivalent to those of the piezocomposites. The resonant method and finite element analysis (FEA) are used to derive the equivalent properties that can accurately depict resonant properties at various vibration modes of the piezocomposites. Validity of the suggested method is confirmed by comparing frequency characteristics of fabricated 1-3 piezocomposite specimens and FEA models. Further, accuracy of the derived material constants is checked by applying the equivalent properties to FEA models of the single phase material for various resonant modes.

에너지소비와 엔진 부품의 마모문제를 해결하기 위해, soft-phase를 doping한 hard상의 coating에 대한 실험이 최근 중요한 연구 테마로서 진행 중이다. 특히 MoN-Cu coating은 미국 Argon 연구소의 Erdemer박사 등에 의해, 고온 및 상온 윤활성이 우수한 코팅층으로 보고된 이후 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존 연구는 Mo와 Cu의 원소타겟을 이용한 연구가 주력이 되었다. 높은 경도와 저온 고온에서의 낮은 나노 혼합물 코팅 종류는 일반적으로 Mo와 Cu와 같은 원소 합금을 이용한 다수 타겟을 이용한 공정에 의해 진행되어왔다. 이러한 복수의 타겟에 의해 증착 동안에는, 정확한 조성, 큰 크기의 시편들의 균일 증착을 조절하기가 쉽지 않다. 또한, 코팅층에 3번째 성분을 추가하기가 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는, 최상의 마찰계수와 표면경도를 보이는 MoN-Cu층을 형성시키기 위하여 합금으로 단일 타겟을 제조하였다. 이를 위한 최적 조성을 결정하기 위하여 Mo, Cu 단일 타겟을 이용한 Unbalanced Magnetron sputtering 법으로 다양한 Cu 함량의 MoN+Cu 합금을 제조하였으며, 이에 대한 경도 및 마찰계수 측정을 통해 최적의 Cu 함량을 결정하였다. 이러한 최적 조성의 Cu 타겟제조를 기계적 합금화와 Spark plasma sintering 기술을 이용하여 제작하였으며, 복수의 합금 타겟과 단일 합금 타겟으로 제조된 코팅층의 물성 비교를 통해 합금 타겟의 우수성 여부를 확인하고자 하였다. 증착된 두 조건의 물성을 비교 단일 타겟은 두가지 타겟으로 증착한 것보다 비슷한 조성에서 경도가 높았으며 경도가 비슷한 조성에서는 마찰계수가 낮았다. 또 입자는 10 at.% Cu 조성에 대해 단일타겟이 50nm 결정립을 갖는 반해 단일타겟은 측정이 불가능할 정도의 미세한 결정립을 가졌다. Erdemir의 연구 결과에 의하면, Cu 함량이 증가함에 따라 columnar 형태의 코팅층구조가 나노 구조로 변한다고 하였는데, 본 연구에서 복수의 원소 타겟에서는 확인이 안되었으며, 단일 합금 타겟에서 완벽한 featurless 형태의 코팅층 구조와 우수한 조도의 박막층을 얻을 수 있었다. 이렇게 제조된 다양한 코팅층에 대한 마찰계수 측정이 진행중이다.

A vibration response-based detection system was used to investigate the adhesive areas of single-lap joints using a nonlinear transformation approach for deep learning. In industry or engineering fields, it is difficult to know the condition of an invisible part within a structure that cannot easily be disassembled and the conditions of adhesive areas of adhesively bonded structures. To address these issues, a detection method was devised that uses nonlinear transformation to determine the adhesive areas of various single-lap-jointed specimens from the vibration response of the reference specimen. In this study, a frequency response function with nonlinear transformation was employed to identify the vibration characteristics, and a virtual spectrogram was used for classification in convolutional neural network based deep learning. Moreover, a vibration experiment, an analytical solution, and a finite-element analysis were performed to verify the developed method with aluminum, carbon fiber composite, and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene specimens.

When a complex load such as torsion, low-speed impact, or fatigue load is applied, the properties in the thickness direction are weakened through microcracks inside the material due to the nature of the laminated composite material, and delamination occurs. To prevent the interlaminar delamination, various three-dimensional reinforcement methods such as Z-pinning and stitching, and structural health monitoring techniques that detect the microcrack of structures in real time have been continuously studied. In this paper, the single-lap joints with I-fiber stitching process were manufactured by a co-curing method and their strengths and failure detection capability were evaluated. AE and electric resistance method were used for detection of crack and failure signal and electric circuit for signal analysis was manufactured, and failure signal was analyzed during the tensile test of a single-lap joint. From the experiment, the strength of the single lap joint reinforced by I-fiber stitching process was improved by about 44.6% compared to the co-cured single lap joint without reinforcement. In addition, as the single-lap joint reinforced by I-fiber stitching process can detect failure in both the electrical resistance method and the AE method, it has been proven to be an effective structure for failure monitoring as well as strength improvement.

This study investigates the effect of curing method on the bonding strength of aluminum/CFRP composites. The surface of aluminum panel was treated by DC plasma. Lap shear tests and T-peel tests were performed based on the procedure of ASTM 906-94a and ASTMD1876-95, respectively. Test samples were fabricated by using the co-curing method and the secondary curing method. The results showed that the shear strength of test samples made by the co-curing method was 2.5 times greater than that of test samples made by the secondary curing method. The T-peel strength of the co-curing method case was almost 2 times greater than that of the secondary curing method case.
