In this paper, the delamination and failures in frequency selected surface(FSS) caused by residual stresses in the FSS embedded hybrid composites due to the difference between the coefficients of thermal expansion of components and the transmission characteristic changes due to deformation of FSS patterns by residual stresses were studied. FSS may have different electromagnetic characteristics depending on the type of element, design variables, and arrangement. Design variables of dipole FSS were determined using PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization) to obtain the transmission characteristic for the target resonant frequency. Subsequently, the design variables of other types of N-pole(tripole, cross dipole, and Jerusalem cross) were determined based on the dimensions of the dipole for the comparisons of residual stresses of FSS embedded composite structures and transmission characteristics. In addition, effects of FSS pattern, and stacking sequence of composite laminates were considered.

This paper presents the design safety of metal seals in pressure vessels. For a high-pressure vessel, a metal seal is usually used as a primary sealing, and an elastomeric rubber O-ring is adopted as a secondary sealing unit. The FEM computed results show that an aluminium material for sealing a gas leakage is superior to a steel one because of the thermal expansion rate. The deformation and stress distributions on the metal seal and pressure vessel structures are mainly dominated by transferred temperature compared to those of the gas pressure in which is supplied by an external pump. Thus, the temperature of a metal seal material should be restricted to under $200^{\circ}C$.

Solder joints in microelectronic devices are frequently operated at an elevated temperature in service. They also experience plastic deformation caused by temperature excursion and difference in thermal expansion coefficients. Deformed solders can go through a recovery and recrystallization process at an elevated temperature, which would alter their microstructure and mechanical properties. In this study, to predict the changes in mechanical properties of Pb-free solder joints at high temperatures, the high temperature microhardness of several Pb-free and composite solders was measured as a function of temperature, deformation, and annealing condition. Solder alleys investigated include pure Sn, Sn-0.7Cu, Sn-3.5Ag, Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu, Sn-2.8Ag-7.0Cu (composite), and Sn-2.7Ag-4.9Cu-2.9Ni (composite). Numbers are all in wt.$\%$ unless specified otherwise. Solder pellets were cast at two cooling rates (0.4 and $7^{\circ}C$/s). The pellets were compressively deformed by $30\%$ and $50\%$ and annealed at $150^{\circ}C$ for 2 days. The microhardness was measured as a function of indentation temperature from 25 to $130^{\circ}C$. Their microstructure was also evaluated to correlate with the changes in microhardness.

마이크로솔더링에 의한 전자기기는, 사회기능의 중추가 되는 컴퓨터, 통신 기기, 항공기 인공위성 등의 제어계를 구성하므로, 그 접속부에 대한 높은 신뢰성의 요구는 그 무엇보다 중요하다. 전자기기에 있어서의 솔더 접속부는 집과 기판의 전기 적.기계적 접속의 역할을 하고 있으며, 따라서 개개의 접속부의 파단은 전체의 불량 으로 연결된다. 실제 전자콤포넌트와 그 시스템의 단선 등의 사고에 있어서 자주 발생 하는 사고중의 하나가 솔더접속부의 단선에 의한 것이며, 그 단선중에서도 가장 보편 적이며 또한 대단히 심각한 문제로서 주목을 받고 있는 것이 솔더접속부의 열피로파단 이다. 전자기기를 사용할 때, 스위치의 on-off에 의한 power cycle과 환경의 온도변화 에 기인하는 반복열 사이클은 솔더접속부의 피로를 일으키게 되고, 결국에는 사용중에 파단을 초래하게 된다. 이러한 온도변화의 범위는 약 -55.deg. - 150.deg.C로 예상할 수 있으며, 여기서 최고온도인 150.deg.C는 Pb-Sn 공정합금의 경우 0.9Tm.p.이상의 고온에 해당한다. 이 피로는 등온적으로 또는 열사이클중에 발생하기도 한다. 솔더접 속부의 열피로수명은 대부분의 공업재료에서 나타나는 저사이클피로거동과 유사하게 발생하며, 솔더 접속부에 인가되는 열변형/응력(thermal strain/stress)의 크기에 크게 의존하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 솔더는 서로 다른 열팽창계수를 갖는 칩과 회로 기관의 두종류의 재료를 접속하기 때문에, 상기한 바와 같은 반복열사이클에 의하여 발생하는 열변형/응력이 접속부의 피로.파단을 야기시킨다. 이러한 솔더접속부에 대한 주기적인 응력/변형의 인가는 접속부에 내.외적으로 현저한 변화를 야기시키게 되고, 열피로로 연결되며 결국에는 시스템의 전기적 단선을 초래하게 된다. 또한 열피로파단 현상는 변형/응력의 크기 뿐 만아니라 솔더합금자체의 야금학적인 물성에도 크게 의존 하며, 내적.외적인 열변화에 의한 야금학적인 특성변화도 크게 영향을 미친다. 솔더 접속부의 신뢰성에 대한 연구는, 그 중요성에 비추어 볼 때, 지금까지 수많은 연구가 행하여져 왔다. 그러나 신뢰성과 관련된 열피로파단현상에 대한 야금학적인 면에서의 연구는 비교적 적은 편이다. 따라서 본 해설에서는 전자기기의 마이크로 솔더접속부 에서 발생하는 열피로파단현상에 대한 야금학적인 면에 중점을 두어 서술하고자 한다.

In this paper, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was carried to predict thermo-mechanical behaviors for carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced epoxy composites and to analyze the trends. Total of six models having the volume fractions of CNT from 0 to 25% in epoxy were constructed. To predict thermal behaviors, temperature was increased constantly from 300 to 600 K, and the glass transition temperature ($T_g$) and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) analyzed using the relationship between temperature and specific volume. The elastic moduli that represented to the mechanical behaviors were also predicted by constant strain. Additionally, the effects of functionalization of CNT on mechanical behaviors of composite were analyzed. Models were constructed to represent CNTs functionalized by nitrogen doping and COOH groops, and interfacial behaviors and elastic moduli were analyzed. Results showed that the agglomerations of CNTs in epoxy cause by perturbations of thermo-mechanical behaviors, and the functionalization of CNTs improved the interfacial response as well as mechanical properties.

Composites are widely used for aircraft, satellite and other structures due to its good mechanical and thermal characteristics such as low coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE), heat-resistance, high specific stiffness and specific strength. In order to use composites under condition of high temperature, however, material properties of composites at high temperatures must be measured and verified. In this paper, material properties of T700/Epoxy were measured through tension tests of composite specimens with an embedded FBG sensor in the thermal chamber at the temperatures of RT, $100^{\circ}$, $200^{\circ}$, $300^{\circ}$, $300^{\circ}$. Through the pre-test of an embedded optical fiber, we confirmed the embedding effects of an optical fiber on material properties of the composites. Two kinds of specimens of which stacking sequences are [0/｛0｝/0]$_{T}$. and [$90_2$/｛0｝/$90_2$]. were fabricated. From the experimental results, material property changes of composites were successfully shown according to temperatures and we confirmed that fiber Bragg grating sensor is very appropriate to strain measurement of composites under high temperature.

In this paper, the Chip-On-Flex (COF) assembly process using anisotropic conductive films (ACFs) was investigated and the reliability of COF assemblies using ACFs was evaluated. Thermo-mechanical properties of ACFs such as coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), storage modulus (E'), and glass transition temperature $(T_g)$ were measured to investigate the effects of ACF material properties on the reliability of COF assemblies using ACFs. In addition, the bonding conditions for COF assemblies using ACFs such as time, temperature, and pressure were optimized. After the COF assemblies using ACFs were fabricated with optimized bonding conditions, reliability tests were then carried out. According to the reliability test results, COF assemblies using the ACF which had lower CTE and higher $T_g$ showed better thermal cycling reliability. Consequently, thermo-mechanical properties of ACFs, especially $T_g$, should be improved for high thermal cycling reliability of COF assemblies using ACFs for compact camera module (CCM) applications.

Fine dust has become a significant social problem. Diesel engines are used as the main propulsion power source in ships. This study introduces a diesel particulate filter (DPF) that is used as an exhaust after-treatment system for diesel engines to reduce particulate matter known as diesel fine dust. Two materials are used for the DPF: Cordierite and silicon carbide (SiC). In this study, to improve the physical properties of the binder used in the SiC DPF, cordialite was used instead of the SiC-based materials used as the conventional binder to evaluate the thermal durability against high-temperature deformation through the change of the coefficient of thermal expansion. In addition, the physical properties of the silica sol, as a main component of the base coating solution for determining the bond between the binder and the segment, were confirmed. Based on this, the change effect of the binder physical properties was confirmed through experiments by either adding a silane coupling agent or SiC to increase the reactivity of the silica sol.

Recently, the effects of high temperature and fiber content on the residual mechnical properties of high-strength concrete were experimentally investigated. In this paper, residual mechanical properties of concrete with water to cement (w/c) ratios of 0.55, 0.42 and 0.35 exposed to high temperature are compared with those obtained in fiber reinforced concrete with similar characteristics ranging from 0.05% to 0.20% polypropylene (PP) fiber volume percentage. Also, factors including pre-load levels of 20% and 40% of the maximum load at room temperature are considered. Outbreak time, thermal strain, length change, and mass loss were tested to determine compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, and energy absorption capacity. From the results, in order to prevent the explosive spalling of 50 MPa grade concretes exposed to high temperature, more than 0.05 vol. % of PP fibers is needed. Also, the cross-sectional area of PP fiber can influence the residual mechanical properties and spalling tendency of fiber reinforced concrete exposed to high temperature. Especially, the external loading increases not only the residual mechanical properties of concrete but also the risk of spalling and brittle failure tendency.
