Thermally or electrically conductive filler reinforced polymer composites are extensively being developed as the demand for light weight material increases rapidly in industiral applications need good conductivity such as heat sink of the electronics or light. Carbon or ceramic materials like graphite, carbon nanotube or boron nitride are typical conductive fillers with good thermal or electical conductivity. Using these conductive fillers, the polymer composites in the market show wide range of thermal conductivity from approximately 1 W/mK to 20 W/mK, which is quite enhanced considering the thermal conductivity lower than 0.5 W/mK for most polymeric materials. The practical use of these composites, however, is yet limited to specific applications because most composites are still not conductive enough or too difficult to process, too brittle, too expensive for higher conductivity. For practical use of conductive composite, the thermal conductivity required depending on the heat releasing mode are studied first for simplified unit cooling geometry to propose thermal conductivities of the composites for reasonable cooling performance comparing with the metal heat sink as a reference. Also, as a practical design for heat sink based on polymer composite, composite and metal sheet hybrid structures are investigated for LED lamp heat sink and audio amplication module housing to find that this hybrid structure can be a good solution considering all of the cooling performance, manufacturing, mechanical performance, cost and weight.

수도계량기(이하 "수량계")는 액체용 적산부피계로 물 사용량을 적산 계량하기 위한 기계기구 또는 장치이며 수량계 검정기준에 의해 검사기준 합격제품을 사용하서 수도요금을 징수합니다. 사실상 국내계량에 관한 법률에 의거하여 전이유량비가 6.3배수(2014년) > 4.0배수(2016년) > 1.6배수(2017년)로 점점 향상되며 2017년 기준으로 국제법정계량기구(OIML)의 성능과 같은 1.6배수까지 향상되어 국내의 수량계 기술기준이 많은 부분 향상되었습니다. 그러나 국제법정계량기구(OIML)는 현재 1.6배수의 80배수까지 검사기준에 합격에 반하여 현제 국내의 검사기준은 1.6배수의 100배수까지만 합격기준을 가지고 있습니다. 이러한 기준은 점차 발전해가고 있는 후발국가에 속하는 자국의 검사기준이 너무 갑작스럽게 국제법정계량기구(OIML)의 기준보다 높은 검사기준을 시행하며 많은 문제가 발생한 것 같습니다. 위와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위하여 여러 복합적인 부품으로 이루어진 수량계의 유량 및 유속에 영향력이 있다고 보여지는 특정 부품 혹은 부위의 개선 및 개발로 해결할 수 있지 않을까 하는 의구심에 연구를 시작되었습니다. 유량 및 유속에 영향을 끼치는 유입부의 스트레이너, 내부 임펠러의 변경으로 성능검사에서 영향을 끼치는지를 유체역학 및 유동해석 등을 통하여 테스트 후 각각 단계 및 상황별 목업금형을 제작하여 현재 국내검사기준으로 진행되는 성능테스트인 기차테스트를 진행하였습니다. 먼저 수량계의 특성상 수량계 내부의 유량을 유체역학 및 유동해석으로 정확히 뽑아내는 것이 불가능하여 유입부 유출부의 유량의 흐름을 기준으로 유체역학 및 유동해석을 진행하였습니다. 테스트 후 그 결과 값으로 유입부의 스트레이너의 삽입 각도를 0°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 270°로 각각 제작하여 테스트를 진행하였으며, 내부 임펠러는 straight, SR, SL, SL R70, SL R60, R75, SR R65 형상으로 각각 제작하여 테스트를 진행하였습니다. 전반적으로 기존의 수량계보다 높은 성능을 보여주었으며, 특정 스트레이너의 삽입각도 및 임펠러의 형상에서는 기존보다 훨씬 유수율이 절감되는 결과값이 나왔습니다. 그로 인해 검사기준에 쉽게 부합할 수 있으며 물 사용량을 보다 정확히 계측하여 정확한 수도요금을 부과하여 국세 낭비로 인한 경제적 손실을 감소할 수 있을 것 같습니다.

The avoidance of enemy's radar detection is very important issue in the modem electronic weapon system. Researchers have studied to minimize reflected signals of radar. In this research, two types of radar absorbing structure (RAS), 'C'-type shell and 'U'-type shell, were fabricated using fiber-reinforced composite materials and their radar cross section (RCS) were evaluated. The absorption layer was composed of glass fiber reinforced epoxy and nano size carbon-black, and the reflection layer was fabricated with carbon fiber reinforced epoxy. During their manufacturing process, undesired thermal deformation (so called spring-back) was observed. In order to reduce spring-back, the bending angle of mold was controlled by a series of experiments. The spring-back of parts fabricated by using compensated mold was predicted by finite element analysis (ANSYS). The RCS of RAS shells were measured by compact range and predicted by physical optics method. The measured RCS data was well matched with the predicted data.

The use of functionally graded materials (FGMs) may enhance thermal conductivity without reducing the desired strength in many applications such as injection molds embedding conformal cooling channels and cutting tools with heat sinks (or cooling devices). As a fundamental study for cutting tools having FGM heat sinks between M2 tool steel and Cu, six FGM specimens (M2 and Cu powders were premixed such that the relative compositions of M2 and Cu were 100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20:80, and 0:100 wt%) were fabricated by powder metallurgy in this study. The cross sections of these specimens were observed by optical microscopy, and then the material properties (such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, and coefficient of thermal expansion) related to heat transfer were measured and analyzed.

섬유 프리프레그(Prepreg)는 강화섬유를 수지에 함침하여 B-stage로 만든 복합재료의 중간성형재료이다. 최종적으로 프리프레그를 금형에 적층하여 가열 가압하여 수지를 경화함으로써 최종제품이 완성된다. 본 연구에서는 직물형 프리프레그를 사용하였는데, 사용되는 직물형태로는 복합재료 성형공정에서 형태안정성이 우수한 평직물과 능직물이 주로 사용된다. 직물형 프리프레그를 사용한 복합재료는 작업성과 형태안정성이 우수하면서 내충격특성이 우수하여 오토바이용 헬멧, 방탄용 헬멧 등에 주로 사용된다. 프리프레그에 요구되는 주요 특성중 하나는 Tack성으로서, 성형 과정에서 프리프레그를 여러 장 적층할 때 적층된 층 간에 미끄러지지 않으면서 잘 고정되어 적층 작업을 원활하게 하는 역할을 한다. Tack성은 수지의 B-stage 경화 후의 점성 거동에 따라 변화될 수 있는 것으로 표면의 끈끈함의 정도로서 알 수 있다. Tack성은 온도에 민감하여 측정 시에 일정한 온도의 유지가 중요하다. 이러한 온도에 대한 민감성 때문에 프리프레그의 저장시 저온에서 저장하는 것이 원칙인데, 상온에 있을 경우 시간경과에 따른 Tack성 변화가 크게 나타나게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 아라미드 섬유와 열경화성수지를 이용하여 프리프레그를 제조하고 이를 상온상태에서 보관 시 일정시간 경과에 따른 Tack성 변화를 알아보고자 하였다.

To overcome the disadvantages of conventional excavation technology various trenchless (or excavation free, or no-dig) repair-reinforcement technologies have been developed and tried. But trenchless technologies so far developed have some drawbacks such as high cost and inconvenience of operation. In this study, a repairing-reinforcing process for underground pipes with glass fiber fabric polymer composites using VARTM (Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding) has been developed. The developed process requires shorter operation time and lower cost with smaller and simpler operating equipments than those of the conventional trenchless technologies. For the reliable operation of the developed method, a simple method to apply pressure and vacuum to the reinforcement was devised and flexible mold technology was tried. Also, resin filling and cure status during RTM process were monitored with a commercial dielectrometry cure monitoring system, LACOMCURE. From the investigation, it has been found that the developed repairing-reinforcing technology with appropriate process variables and on-line cure monitoring has many advantages over conventional methods.

To reduce the weight of a railroad vehicle, a bogie frame skin is considered for manufacture using an RTM process and composite material. Compared to other processes, RTM has merits in that it demands only simple manufacturing facilities and can produce a large and complex structure in a short cycle time. On the other hand, it is important to determine the proper number and locations of gates and vents to prevent void formation inside a structure. In this study, we numerically predicted the flow pattern in a bogie frame skin during the RTM process by distinguishing the permeability of a fiber mat as isotropic or anisotropic. Using the results, we analyzed the RTM process conditions of the bogie frame to predict skin void formation, mold filling time, and optimum location of vents depending on the permeability conditions.

Under the uncertainties and the consequent turmoils of the IMF financial crisis in Korea, Hyunsung Techno was founded in 1997 on the basis of automobile press molding which is critical for the quality of automobile. Ever since, Hyunsung Techno has grown rapidly based on the domestic market; however, gradually, it had faced a stalemate in terms of the saturation, on the supply side and the growth limit, on the demand side, of the domestic molding market. Accordingly, Hyunsung pushed for a strategy to localize overseas markets and a new acquisition strategy instead of resting on the domestic mold industry's growth, and the success of these strategies enabled it to leap forward into a global company with five companies including affiliates and 70 billion won in sales. The main reason why Hyunsung Techno evolved from a small and medium-sized manufacturing company into a global businesses is due to the success of Boa Constrictor M&A strategy. Its acquisition strategy is not just a successful case of any acquisition, but a rare, maybe the first domestic case of a successful acquisition of a primary supplier by a secondary supplier. Through the success of this strategy, Hyunsung Techno has achieved a continuous growth of businesses, an increase in sales volume, and expansion into new businesses. And on top of that, this achievements is leading it to be a global conglomerate In this study, Hyunsung Techno's success strategy, which is transformed from a small domestic manufacturing company into a global enterprise, was analyzed in detail with its development stages divided into start-up, overseas expansion, acquisitions, and business diversification. Eventually, this case study is meant to offer strategic implications for other small and medium-sized businesses under the current, gloomy economy of low or zero growth of today.

In order to optimize the prepreg compression molding (PCM) process, the forming simulation is required to cope with any problems that may be raised during the process. For the improvement of simulation accuracy, the input data of material property should be measured accurately. However, most studies assume that the compressive properties of the prepreg are identical to the tensile properties without quantifying them separately. Therefore, in this study, the in - plane compressive properties of the prepreg are presented to improve the accuracy of the forming simulation. As a result, the compressive modulus of the fibers was measured to be about $10^{-2}$ times lower than the tensile modulus. Also we designed a square-cup mold with a tilting angle of $110^{\circ}$ to simulate the prepreg formability during the high temperature compression mold process. Shear angles were measured at each corner, which were compared with the simulation results. It was observed that the simulation results using the accurate compressive properties of the prepreg showed a similar trend with the experimental results. It was confirmed that the measured data of the in-plane compression property improved the accuracy of the forming simulation results.
