When implementing butt joint welding of two plates, it is useful to attach end-tabs made of a metal with high heat conductivity (e.g., copper) at the front and back sides of the welded plates to prevent the bead from rolling down and prevent defects that may occur at the tips of the weld zone. In this study, the fin shape, which is known to have good heat discharging characteristics by natural convection, has been applied to enhance the cooling performance of the end-tab. From both experiment and numerical analysis, it was confirmed that end-tabs with fin-shaped holes have better heat discharging performance than end-tabs without holes. Through thermal and fluid flow analysis, the cooling rates of end-tabs with different hole shapes were estimated in order to figure out characteristics of shape factor that are important for the heat discharging performance. As a result, we found that the structure including vertical fins with optimal fin gap was the best-performing shape.

PLS에 사용되는 반사판의 반사율과 300도의 열적 안정성을 높이기 위해 두 충의 투명 산화막이 Al기판위에 증착된 Al 필름 위에 증착되었다. 광학적 고려를 위해 낮은 굴절률은 가진 $SiO_2$와 치밀하고 높은 굴절률을 가진 $SiO_2-CeO_2$ 복합 산화물이 IAD 방법에 의해 증착되었다. 복합 산화물의 조성에 따른 굴절률 변화로부터 보다 치밀한 구조를 갖는 조성이 결정되었으며 이와 더불어 엔드홀 이온 소스에 의한 조사를 통해 Al 필름 보다 높은 반사율과 열적 안정성을 얻을 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 수소 연료전지의 엔드플레이트와 외부 연결 부분의 금속을 진동시험기를 이용하여 접촉저항을 측정하였다. 수소 연료전지의 집접판에서의 전류밀도의 변화와 온도 분포의 변화를 비교해 볼 수 있었으며, 접촉저항을 측정 할 수 있었다. 진동시험기는 5~50 Hz의 범위까지 설계하였으며 진동에 대한 접촉저항의 변화도 확인 할 수 있었다.

Mechanical behavior in metal bipolar plate of a fuel cell stack was studied using finite element analysis. The fuel stack is essentially composed of a metal bipolar plate (metal BP), a gasket, an end plate, a membrane electrolyte assembly (MEA), and a gas diffusion layer (GDL). It is important to maintain a suitable fastening force of Metal BP, because it influences the power efficiency of the fuel cell stack. After a gasket and a GDL are placed on the metal BP, the reaction force with the displacement is measured. The channel of metal bipolar plate is replaced by a simple geometrical plate. The results of FEM are similar to those of experiment. Therefore mechanical behavior in metal BP of a fuel cell stack can be estimated by using FEM.

A through diaphragm is often used to ensure their stiffness for moment-resisting connections using rectangular steel-tube column and H-shaped beam. The through-diaphragm connections, however, have some difficulties for their applicabilities to the field due to the complexity of the fabrication and construction processes. This study thus proposes a new modular system of steel structures assembled only using bolts without welding, by bringing a connection module composed of rectangular steel-tube column, H-shaped beam and oneway bolt onto the site. An experimental study to evaluate the seismic performance of the proposed connection details based on the new modular system is then conducted. The length and type of the inner reinforcement plate are considered as the primary design parameters, and the strength, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation capability of the new connections are experimentally analyzed by comparison to those of conventional through diaphragm connections.

A proper stacking force and assembly are important to the performance of fuel cell. Improper assembly pressure may lead to leakage of fuels and high interfacial contact resistance, excessive assembly pressure may result in damage to the gas diffusion layer and other components. The pressure distribution of gas diffusion layer is important to make interfacial contact resistance less for stack performance. To analyze the influence of design parameter factors for pressure distribution, and to optimize stack design, DOE (Design of Experiment) was used for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell stack pressure test. As commonly known, the higher clamping force improves the fuel cell stack performance. However, non-uniformity of stress distribution is also increased. It shows that optimization between clamping force and stress distribution is needed for well designed structure of fuel cell stack. In this study, stack design optimization method is suggested by using FEM (Finite Element Methode) and DOE for light-weighted fuel cell stack.

PMMA (Polymethyle-methacrylate) optical components have recently been increasingly used as one of the important part of the high precision equipments. This research presents comparatively the surface preparation of light incident plane, LIP (Light Incident Plane) of LGP (Light Guide Panel) by end milling, high speed shaping, and vibration assisted high speed shaping. From several experiments, the results show that the surface quality was improved in high speed shaping and the vibration assisted HSS show not only decreasing waviness and breakage also raising the straightness property. For applying high speed shaping and vibration assisted HSS, an additional tool post was developed and experimentally used.
