Sediment abrasion in rivers is caused by the interaction between bedrock channel bed and sediment particles transported through the river. Abrasion rate of sediment particles in rivers is controlled by two major factors; Sediment transport conditions including hydraulic conditions form the erosive forces and physical and chemical strengths of the particles form a resistance force against abrasion and other erosional processes. Physical experiments were performed to find the role of each variable on sediment abrasion process. Total 266 sediment particles were used in this experiment. All sediment particles were divided into 11 independent sediment groups with sediment particle size and sediment loads. Each sediment groups were abraded in tumbling mill for up to 8 hours. Changes in weight were recorded by run and total: 2,128 cases of abrasion rate were recoded. Physical strength of rock particles was measured with point load strength index. It is found that sediment abrasion rate has a negative functional relationship point load strength index ($I_{a(50)}$) ($R^2=0.22$). It was suggested that physical strength of sediment particles set the "maximum possible abrasion rate'. As sediment flux increases, abrasion rates of sediment particles with similar point load strength index were changed. It could be concluded that not only physical characteristics of sediment particles, but also sediment transport conditions control sediment abrasion rates.

Incision into bedrock channel is the primary control of landform evolution, but research into bedrock incision process stagnated for long time. Due to the scaling problem of the application of results from flume studies to bedrock channel, there is a strong need to simulate the bedrock incision process with more realistic models. As a part of investigation into controls of bedrock channel incision, three-dimensional changes of rock surface with abrasion was investigated with physical modelling. 18 rock plates were abraded with various sediment particle size and sediment load and abraded surfaces of the plates were scanned with high resolution 3-D scanner. To identify the spatial pattern of erosion of the rock plates, various methods were used. There was no synthetic or holistic method that showed all features of bedrock plate produced by abrasion, so each plate was analyzed using some available methods. Contour maps, shaded relief maps and profiles show that abrasion concentrated on the centre of plate (cross profile) and upstream and downstream edges (longitudinal profile) and eroded area extended inwards. It also found that the cracks and boundaries of forming materials easily eroded than other parts. Changing patterns of surface roughness were investigated with profiles, regression analysis and spectral analysis. Majority of plates showed decrease in small-scale roughness, but it depends on microstructures of the plates rather than general hardness or other factors. SEM inspection results supported this idea.

산림의 절편화 및 마식은 단순한 녹지면직의 축소만이 아니라 아생동물의 이동통로 단절로 인한 서식시 축소 및 니아가서는 소멸을 초래한다. 이를 해결하고자 최근에는 생태통로를 조성하는 작업이 수행되고 있으며 이는 목표종의 신정 및 적절한 위치 선정을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 대전광역시와 그 주변을 대상으로 지난 50년 동안 인간 활동에 의해 절편화된 녹지를 파악하고자 원격탐사(RS) 자료를 이용하였다. Landsat MSS(30m)나 TM(79m)과 같은 중저해상도 위성영상으로는 절편화를 야기하는 산림 절편화 및 마식 파악이 어려워 본연구에서는 발행한 수치지도 및 수치토지이용도를 이용하여 1954년, 2000년 각각의 삼림분포도를 작성하였다. 현지 확인 및 수정과정을 거쳐 최종적으로 생성된 자료를 근거로 산림 절편화 및 마식의 정도를 정량적으로 기술 및 평가하였고 녹지(patch)의 크기와 현장 조사한 야생동물서 식도를 바탕으로 생태통로의 위치를 도출하였다.

The erosion behavior of :artificially aged HK40 steel was investigated. Erosion tests were conducted at room temperature, $200^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$ using $Al_2O_3$ particles. Erosion rates increased with increment of temperature. The maximum erosion rate increased with the impingement angle of 30 degree. The erosion rate increased, reached the maximum at 1000 hours, and after that, decreased with heat treatment time. The mechanism of erosion seems to be the cutting wear which is very much associated with the strength of material. As results, the erosion rates were rather affected by the tensile strength and the strain hardening coefficient than the hardness and the yield strength. Such changes of material properties would be caused by the change of micro-structure due to the precipitation of carbide and the dissolution of solid element within matrix during the heat treatment.

The solid particle erosion behaviour of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites was investigated. The erosive wear of these composites was evaluated at different impingement angles ($30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$), different impact velocities (40, 55, 60, 70m/s) and at three different fiber orientations ($0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$). The erodent was SiC sand with the size $50-100{\mu}m$ of irregula. shapes. The result showed ductile erosion behaviour with maximum erosion rate at $30^{\circ}$ impingement angle. The fiber orientations had a significant influence on erosion. The erosion rate was strongly dependent on impact velocity which followed power law $E{\propto}\;V^n$. Based on impact velocity (V), impact angle (${\alpha}$) and fiber orientation angle (${\beta}$), a method was proposed to predict the erosion rate of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites.

Satae cheon, a tributary of the Suip cheon in Yanggu, Gangwon province, is an international river extended to North Korea. Most of drainage basin area of the river was the fierce battle field during the Korean War(1950-1953) and hard to access as it located between the MDL(Military Demarcation Line) and the CCZ(Civilian Control Zone: about 10km south from MDL). By the restriction of access to the sites, most of natural landscape have been well conserved except limited use for military activities. Even the landfoms in that area were not studied, except the government's heritage reports. Satae Cheon's channel follows the Imdang fault line(N-S) to Satae-ri and flow to west to the Dutayeon area. The river meanders along geological structure or weak line at the Dutayeon area. The meandering channel was shorten by the meander cut which linked the thalweg line of meander loop ant the meander neck. As a result of this cut, the river cliff formed by the Satae cheon became the part of newly formed channel bed and the S-forms are formed. After the channel route stabilized, channel incised the rock with large potholes and undulating walls were formed. The channel width changes from 1m to 10m with restriction of the undulating walls, so this part can be regarded as inner channel or inner gorge. From the point of planar forms it also can be slot-type canyon.

최근 화석에너지 고갈 및 에너지 수요의 폭발적 팽창을 해결하기 위하여 경량화와 내마모 측면에서 고효율 시스템을 적용한 자동차 및 각종 성형 기기들이 개발되고 있다. 특히 장치의 고성능화라는 요구조건을 충족시키기 위해서는 금속가공산업에서 표면개질의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 이러한 표면개질에는 일반적으로 표면의 성질을 개선하여 마모(abrasion) 및 국부 압력(local stress) 또는 피로(fatigue), 마식(wear and corrosion)에 견디게 하여 부품의 수명증대와 제품의 소형화에 기여하고 있다. 이러한 표면개질법에는 경질의 물질을 표면에 코팅시켜 재료표면의 특성을 향상시키는 방법과 금속의 표면에 다른 원소를 침투 및 확산시키는 방법으로 나눌 수 있다. 확산방법으로 침탄, 질화, 보로나이징, 크마이징 처리 방법 등이 있다. 상업적으로 가장 많이 사용되는 표면 개질법은 침탄기술로서, 고온에서 짧은 시간내에 물성 향상이 가능하지만, 강의 변태점 이상의 온도에서 진행됨으로서, 변형에 따른 문제가 발생되어 후처리를 필요로 하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 반면, 질화법은 변태점 이하의 저온에서 철강 표면에 N을 침투시켜 강을 경화시키는 특징을 가진다. 변형이 적고 질소원자가 강내에 침투함으로 인해 내마모성, 내피로성, 내식성 등의 물리적 성질을 향상시키는 점에서 유리하여 각종 정밀 부품 및 자동차 부품, 금형 등에 많이 사용된다. 또한, 경도 향상 및 결정구조의 영향으로 코팅처리시 모재와 코팅 층의 밀착력 향상을 가져오면 이러한 이유로 코팅 층의 하지 층으로써 각광 받고 있다. 본 발표에서는 플라즈마 질화의 이해를 높이기 위해 관련 기술에 대한 전반적인 소개와 향후 플라즈마 질화 기술의 적용이 기대되는 침탄대체 적용 가능 부품, 침류질화 기술, PECVD 공정과의 접목 등 산업적은 응용 측면에서 응용 분야에 대한 소개를 진행하고자 한다.

Longitudinal profiles of bedrock rivers play a fundamental role in landscape history by setting the boundary conditions for landform evolution. Longitudinal profiles are changed with climatic conditions, lithology and tectonic movements. Tectonic movement is an important factor controlling longitudinal profiles, especially in tectonically active area where uplift rates are regarded as a major factor controlling channel gradient. However study on bedrock channel has made little progress, because controls over bedrock river incision are yet to be clarified. Previous numerical simulations have used a simple diffusion model, which links together the overall processes of bedrock channel erosion as in other landform evolution models. In this study, previous bedrock incision models based on physical processes (especially abrasion) are reviewed and new modifications are introduced. Using newly formulated numerical model, the role of spatial pattern and intensity of tectonic uplift on changes in river longitudinal profile was simulated and discussed.

This work is to describe the geomorphological landscapes of of Dongcheon-gugok in Korea, and attempts to develop a basic data for traditional natural heritage. Dongcheon-gugok is a union of natural lanscape and human mind-activity. Therefore the study of natural landscape, which consists of geomorphological landscapes, provides a basic data for the use and conservation of traditional natural heritage. Dongcheon-gugok in Korea is almost distributed in the valley of mountainous areas of Taeback and Soback Mountain Ranges. The bedrocks of the areas of Dongcheon-gugok are almost granitic rocks and sedimentary rocks. The landscapes of Dongcheon-gugok is characterized by narrow meandering valley, so Gugok means nine-bended river. The elements of the geomorphological features is a broad flat rock with sheeting joints, joint-block seperated large blocks or tor, steep slope and rocky cliffs, pool, ripple, large or small scale waterfall, pot-hole, etc.

Minor erosional forms in the bedrock river, like potholes, are not just research subject for the professional geomorphologis. In addition, these features attract general public and make them understand the social contribution and importance of geomorphologic research activities. In this paper, the studies on bedrock minor forms in Korea was reviewed. For further researches, some of major erosional processes and minor forms in bedrock rivers were discussed in detail. Cavitation, plucking, hydro-wedging, and abrasion by passing sediment particles are the major processes to create the longitudinal or transverse minor forms like pothole, furrows, flutes, and runnels. Especially the definition of furrows and runnels are explained to prevent the confusion with pothole, weathering pits and grooves. To make a progress in research on bedrock minor forms the quantitative relationship between the variables should be studied. New techniques for scientific estimation of erosion rates and exposure ages of bedrock surfaces should be used in this field.
