We fabricated a capacitive-type humidity sensor using poly (p-phenylene ether sulfone: PES) as a humidity sensitive layer. The PES was dissolved in m-cresol $(CH_3C_6H_4OH)$ and spin-coated on ITO-coated glass substrate. Gold was deposited by sputtering as a water-permeable upper electrode. The capacitance of the sensor was inversely proportional to sensing film thicknesses and showed an excellent linearity of less than 1% in the humidity range of 20 to 90%. The sensor haying a $1.4{\mu}m$ sensing layer showed a hysteresis of 1.3% and a good sensitivity of 1.14 at 20 kHz.

UV curable coating system described here consists of double layers, namely under layer and top laser coatings. The former consists of organic-inorganic conductive materials and the latter consists of multifunctional acrylates. Transparent double layer coatings were prepared on the transparent substrates i.e. PMMA, PC, PET etc. by the wet and wet coating procedure. Their surface resistances and film properties were measured as a function of the top layer thickness and relative humidity. As the thickness of the top layer was less than $10{\mu}m$, the surface resistance in the range of $10^8{\sim}10^{10}{\Omega}/cm^2$ was obtained. The surface properties of the two-layer coating were remarkably improved compared with the single layer coating. The effects of migration of conducting materials on the film properties of multilayer coating were investigated by using contact angle and Fourier transform infrared/attenuated total reflection(FT-IR/ATR). It was found that the migration of dopant(dodecyl benzenesulfonic acid, DBSA) molecules were occurred from film-substrate interface to film-air interface in the organic conductive coating system but not in the inorganic one.

A new technique for the source location of acoustic emission (AE) in plates whose thichness are close to or thinner than the wavelength has been studied by introducing wavelet transform de-noising technique. The detected AE signals were pre-processed using wavelet transform to be decomposed into the low-frequency, high-amplitude flexural components and the high-frequency, low-amplitude extensional components. If the wavelet transform de-noising was employed, we could successfully filter out the extensional wave component, one of the critical errors of source location in plates by arrival time difference method. The accuracy of source location appeared to be significantly improved and independent of the setting of gain and threshold, plate thickness, sensor-to-sensor distance, and the relative position of source to sensors. Since the method utilizes the flexural component of relatively high amplitude, it could be applied to very large, thin-walled structures in practice.

This study investigated the structural performance of the RC boundary beam-wall system subjected to axial loads that required lesser construction quantity and smaller floor height in comparison with the conventional RC transfer girder system. Four specimens of 1/2 scale were constructed, and their peak strengths under axial loads and failure characteristics were compared and analyzed. Test parameters included the ratio of the lower to the upper wall length, lower wall thickness, and stirrup details of the lower wall. In addition, three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis was performed to verify the effectiveness of the boundary beam-wall system. The peak strength of each specimen was similar to the nominal axial strength of the lower wall, indicating that the axial load was transferred smoothly from the upper to the lower wall. The contribution of the lower wall cross-section was high if the ratio of the lower to the upper wall length was small; the contribution was low if the out-of-plane eccentricity existed in the lower wall. The specimen with smaller stirrup distance and cross-ties in the lower wall showed higher initial stiffness and peak load than other specimens.

Typical composite girder has been composed with conventional concrete deck and steel girder. Recently, ultrahigh-performance-concrete (UHPC) deck is proposed in order to enhance durability and reduce weight of deck as well as to increase stiffness and strength of the composite girder. This study investigates that a headed stud is still compatible as a shear connector for the UHPC deck and steel girder composite beam. Twelve push-out specimens are prepared to evaluate the static strength of stud shear connectors embedded in the UHPC deck. The test program proves that the static strength of the stud shear connectors embedded in UHPC well meets with design codes described in AASHTO LRFD. Chosen experimental variables are aspect ratio of height to diameter of stud, thickness of deck and thickness of concrete cover over the head of stud. From the test program, aspect ratio and cover thickness are investigated to mitigate the regulations of the existing design codes. The minimum aspect ratio and the minimum cover thickness given in AASHTO LRFD are four and 50mm, respectively. This limitation hinders to lower the thickness of the UHPC deck. The results of the experiment program give that the aspect ratio and the cover thickness can be lower down to three and 25mm, respectively. Eurocode-4 regulates characteristic relative slip at least 6mm. However, test results show that stud shear connectors embedded in UHPC provide the characteristic relative slip only about 4mm. Therefore, another measures to increase ductility of stud should be prepared.

A color filter was proposed and demonstrated by incorporating a subwavelength patterned 1-dimensional grating in poly silicon. It was produced by employing the laser interference lithography method, providing much wider effective area compared to the conventional e-beam lithography. A $SiO_2$ layer was introduced on top of the silicon grating layer as a mask for the etching of the silicon, facilitating the etching of the silicon layer. It was theoretically found that the selectivity of the filter was also improved thanks to the oxide layer. The parameters for the designed device include the grating pitch of 450 nm, the grating height of 100 nm and the oxide-layer height of 200 nm. As for the fabricated filter, the spectral pass band corresponded to the blue color centered at 470 nm and the peak transmission was about 40%. Within the effective area of $3{\times}3mm^2$, the variation in the relative transmission efficiency and in the center wavelength was less than 10% and 2 nm respectively. Finally, the influence of the angle of the incident beam upon the transfer characteristics of the device was investigated in terms of the rate of the relative transmission efficiency, which was found to be equivalent to 1.5%/degree.

End hall type 이온건을 이용하여 다층 다이아몬드상 차본(DLC) 필름을 M2 steel 기판 위에 합성하였다. 다충 다이아몬드상 카본 필름은 순수 DLC 필름과 실라콘 함유 D DLC 필름의 조합으로 구성되어 있으며, $C_6H_6$ 및 수소 희석된 30% 를 사용하여 증착 하였다. 생성된 DLC 박막의 조성은 $C_6H_6$과 $SiH_4$ 가스의 비를 조절함으로써 변화시켰으며, 250 kHz의 고주파 전원을 바이어스 전원으로 사용하여 박막의 물성을 변화시켰다. DLC 박막의 두께와 다층의 구조 및 종류(2충, 4충)는 코팅 공정의 실험 변수로서 변화시켰다. 직경 3 mm의 루비볼을 사용하여 ball-on-disk 방식으로 마모 시험을 행하였으며, 하중은 490 g, 500 rpm에서 상대습도를 5 % 이하와 80 % 이상으로 변화시켜가며 시행하였다. 100,000 cycle 회전 후 측정된 시편의 마모상태는 5 % 이하의 습 도에서 4층 구조의 박막이 2충 구조의 박막보다 2배 이상 낮은 마모률을 보였으며 그 값은 각각 $2~3{\times}\;10^{-8}\;\textrm{mm}^3/rev$와 $1~2{\times}\;10^{-7}\;\textrm{mm}^3/rev$로 나타내었다. 80% 이상의 습도에서도 마모률의 변화는 저습에서의 경우와 유사하였다. 또한 Si함유 DLC 다층 박막이 저습 및 고습에서 더욱 안정한 마찰 마모 거동을 보였다.

This study is to investigate the effects of warm deep drawing with aluminum sheets of A1050-H16 and A5052-H32 for improving deep drawability. Experiments for procucing circular cups and square cups were carried out for various working conditions, such as forming temperature and blank shape. The limit drawing ratio(LDR) of 2.63 in warm deep drawing of circular cups in case of A5052-H32 sheet, whereas LDR of A1050-H16 is 2.25, could be obtained and the former was 8 times higher than the value at room temperature. The maximum relative drawing depth for square cups of A5052-H32 material was also about 2 times deeper than the depth drawn at room temperature. The effects of blank shape, and temperature on drawability of aluminum materials as well as thickness distribution of drawn cups were examined and discussed.

고상 반응법을 이용하여 $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Ga_{0.6}Fe_{0.4}O_{3-{\delta}}$ 분말을 합성하고 혼합전도체 분리막을 소결하여 제조하였다. 제조된 분리막은 $LaGaO_3$에 일치하는 폐롭스카이트 결정구조를 나타내었으며 95% 이상의 높은 상대밀도를 나타내었다. 스크린 프린팅 방법으로 $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}CoO_{3-{\delta}}$ 후막을 disk의 양 표면에 코팅하였으며 코팅 막은 비교적 치밀한 미세구조를 나타내었다. 코팅되지 않은 분리막과 코팅된 분리막의 산소투과 성능을 비교 실험한 결과 $850^{\circ}C$에서 동일한 두께의 코팅된 분리막의 정상상태 산소 투과 유속이 $0.7{m{\ell}}/min.cm^2$ 정도로 코팅되지 않은 분리막에 비해 약 2~3배로 높게 나타났다.
