This study explores the utilization of common marine wastes, specifically seashells, such as oysters and cockles, as alternative fine aggregates in construction materials. The considered seashells were cleaned and pre-processed for use as a substitute for aggregate in mortar. Cement mortar specimens were prepared under different conditions, such as substitution ratios and the cleaning status of the seashells. The compressive strength of the mortars specimens was evaluated, and the solid and porous structures of each specimen were analyzed using microstructure analysis methods such as XRD, SEM, and micro-CT. The results confirmed that oyster and cockle seashells are composed of different calcium carbonate polymorphs, and their microstructural characteristics influence the mechanical properties of the cement mortar specimens.

In this study, breathable waterproof materials were prepared by electrospinning. Five kinds of electrospun nanofiber web layered systems with different levels of nanofiber web density, as well as different substrates and layer structures were fabricated, and their mechanical properties (tensile, bending, shear, compression, surface, and thickness & weight) were measured by the KES-FB system and compared with those of conventional breathable waterproof fabrics (densely woven fabric, PTFE laminated fabric and PU coated fabric). The KES-FB measurements demonstrate that the lab-scale nanofiber web layered systems are more flexible and fuller than commercial nanofiber web layered systems, which have a more compact structure than the lab-scale nanofiber web layered systems. Densely woven fabrics and lab-scale nanofiber web layered systems showed lower values of tensile linearity (LT), bending stiffness (B), and shear stiffness (G) than those of PU coated and PTFE laminated fabric. These results indicate that they are more flexible and have less resistance to the shearing movement, corresponding to a more pliable material having a better drape, than PU coated fabrics and PTFE laminated fabrics.

An experimental study of the accelerated weathering was performed to investigate the variations of physicomechanical properties of deteriorated rocks due to freeze-thaw weathering for the Jurassic granite specimens from Wonju, Gangwon-do. Each complete cycle of freeze and thaw was lasted 24 hours, comprising 2 hours saturating in vacuum chamber, 8 hours freezing at -20$\pm1^{\circ}C$ and 14 hours thawing at room temperature. Freeze-thaw cycles were implemented with measuring the index physical properties as well as geometries of microfractures. The seismic velocity was found to decrease with increasing freeze-thaw cycles. On the other hand, absorption tends to increase with freeze-thaw cycles. In the end, it was concluded that variations of the index properties of deteriorated specimen depend on its initial properties and flaws in rock. The size and density of the traces of the microfracture on slab specimen were changed continuously with increasing freeze-thaw weathering. The results obtained in this study show that the box fractal dimension($D_B$) has the strong capability of quantifying the combined effect of size and density of the microfractures.

기존의 전자 기판에서 땜납으로 사용되고 있는 Sn-Pb계 합금을 대체하기 위한 새로운 합금을 개발하기 위하여 열역학을 이용한 상평형계산을 통해 얻은 다원계 상태도를 바탕으로 적정한 녹는점과 용융구간을 가지는 Sn-Bi-In-Zn계 솔더합금을 설계하였다. 설계된 합금을 제작하여 XRD, DSC및 EDX로 분석하여 상의 확인,조성분석 및 고상점과 액상점 등의 녹음 거동을 확인하였다. 또한 열처리에 따른 미세구조의 변화를 관찰하였고, 이러한 조직변화가 기계적 성질에 미치는 영향을 경도실험과 인장실험을 통해 연구하였다.

전기방사 탄소섬유와 s-VGCFs는 그 미세구조의 특성 때문에 응용분야가 서로 다르다. 전기방사 탄소나노섬유는 유기물을 섬유화하고 그것을 탄화하기 때문에 VGCFs에 비해서 낮은 가격에 대량생산이 가능하고 촉매를 사용하지 않기 때문에 전극으로 사용할 경우 금속불순물에 대한 부반응의 우려가 없다. 한편, 결정성이 낮고 세공이 잘 발달되어 비표면적이 크기 때문에 이온을 흡착해서 에너지를 저장하는 전기화학 캐패시터나 가스 흡착 분리나 촉매의 지지체로 사용하는데 장점이 있다. 이에 비해서 s-VFCFs는 섬유의 직경이 기존의 VGCF에 비해서 작으면서 잘 발달된 흑연구조가 동심원 구조를 하고 있어 굴곡강도가 크고 열 및 전기전도도가 우수하여 납축전지나 Li 이온전지의 충전제로 사용하여 역학적 특성과 향상시켜 주는 역할을 한다. 또한, 금속과 복합화하여 가벼우면서도 강도를 증가시켜주는 보강재로 사용가능하다.

This article proposes a new technique of the dynamic model using multi-body dynamic analysis tool for a flexible main spindle rotor system with a novel phase adjusting control technique for the purpose of an active control of rotor vibration. The dynamic model is used as a plant model. Also in order to make control system, a component parameters and phase controller is composed and simulated by SIMULINK. The vibration is reduced to 50%. Therefore the ADAMS dynamic model for the flexible main spindle rotor and the phase adjusting control techniques may be effective for the suppressing the vibration and helpful for the future active control for rotor vibration.

In the last decade, laser surface texturing (LST) has emerged as a viable option of surface engineering. Many problems related with mechanical components such as thrust bearings, mechanical face seals and piston rings, etc, LST result in significant improvement in load capacity, wear resistance and reduction in friction force. It is mainly experimentally reported the micro-dimpled bearing surfaces can reduce friction force, however, precise theoretical results are not presented until now. In this paper, a commercial computational fluid dynamics(CFD) code, FLUENT is used to investigate the lubrication characteristics of a parallel thrust bearing having 3-dimensional micro-dimple. The results show that the pressure, velocity and density distributions are highly affected by the location and number of dimple. The numerical method and results can be use in design of optimum dimple characteristics, and further researches are required.

In this paper, mechanical characteristics of micro-defects in granitic rock was studied. Crack spacing and length were investigated by scanline survey in specimen of granite. To estimate the direction and distribution of potential microcrack in granite, thin sections were made for three direction of Rift, Grain and Hardway axis of the rock specimen. The density and length of microcrack were investigated quantitatively. Three directions of microcracks are comparatively perpendicular. Crack density varies as direction differs, but crack length doesn't show influence of direction.

In this paper, we have performed a parametric study on the characteristics of multiphase laminar flow with density difference in various microchannels. The interface between multiphase fluids is rotated by the gravitational forces induced by density difference. The numerical simulations were carried out via commercial CFD package to study the characteristics of multiphase laminar flow. The results of the numerical simulations in this study were verified by comparing with the previously reported experimental results in the literature. We have also proposed a new dimensionless relationship between dimensionless rotation angle of interface and dimensionless parameters are proposed for square microchannels with various aspect ratios. The dimensionless relationship could be widely applied to the reliable design of various microfluidic devices dealing with multiphase laminar flow.

대기중에는 각종 유해 중금속이 자체적으로 부유하거나, 부유분진에 흡착되어 있어 부유분진의 성분을 규명하는 것은 인체보건학적으로 중요한 일이다. 또한, 공기역학적 입경이 $10\mu\textrm{m}$보다 작은 입자($PM_{10}$)는 인체 유해성이 커서 국내에서도 1995년부터 대기환경기준물질로 설정하여 관리해오고 있으나, 1997년 미국환경청은 기존의 분진기준($PM_{10}$)을 만족하는 수준에서도 대기분진 노출이 인간의 건강과 공공복지에 악영향을 준다는 과학적인 증거에 대한 광범위한 검토를 토대로 새로운 미세분진($PM_{2.5}$)기준을 추가하여 현재 대기질을 관리해오고 있다.(중략)
