Radiation exposure exposed during mammography, which is performed for early examination of breast cancer, has also been suggested as a cause of carcinogenesis in the past, and scattered rays generated during examination may cause unnecessary radiation exposure to surrounding organs. In this study, the Monte Carlo simulation was used to evaluate the human organ doses exposed during conventional mammography, and to estimate the dose reduction effect for each organ when using 3D printing materials for radiation protection by scattered rays. As a result of organ dose evaluation, the breast on the opposite side of the examination was about 22.0% of the breast on the test side and about 58.6% on the eye, which was highly influenced by the scattering-ray. When using the 3D printing shield to protect it, the breast on the opposite side of the test showed an effective dose reduction effect at a thickness of 1 mm.

Permalloy thin films fabricated by rf magnetron sputtering showed the excellent magnetic properties, i.e., an effective permeability of over 2000 at 1$\mu\textrm{m}$ thick up to 10 MHz, a saturation magnetization of 10∼12 kG, a coercive force of 0.2∼1 Oe, resistivity (p) is 20 ${\mu}$$\Omega$cm. In order to control the magnetic anisotropy direction of the films in a wafer scale, two parallel Nd-Fe-B permenant mangnets were used to provide the magnetic field during the sputtering process. As a result, the anisotropy direction was successfully controlled when the two magnets were seperated with a distance of 70 mm. 3D simmulation of the magnteic fields around the wafer during sputtering were in accord with the above result.

An investigation on nondestructive evaluation of thermal stress-nduced damage in the composite laminates (3mm in thickness and $[+45_6/-45_6]_s$ lay-up angles) has been performed using the thermo-acoustic emission technique. Reduction of thermo-AE events due to repetitive thermal load cycles showed a Kaiser effect. An analysis of the thermo-AE behavior determined the stress free temperature of composite laminates. Fiber fracture and matrix cracks were observed using the optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and ultrasonic C-sean. Short-Time Fourier Transform of thermo-AE signals offered the time-frequency characteristics which might classily the thermo-AE as three different types to estimate the damage processes of the composites.

최근 국내 반도체 기술의 비약적인 발전으로 전자 기기 전반에 소형화, 고주파화, 고기능화 등이 진행되는데 반해, 반도체 소자등에 전원을 공급하거나 회로 전체를 운용하는 전기 신호를 변조.증폭시키는데 반해, 반도체 소자등에 전원을 공급하거나 회로 전체를 운용하는 전기신호를 변조.증폭시키는 인덕터, 트랜스 포머와 같은 수동 자기 소자는 아직도 3차원 벌크 형태로 사용되고 있다. 일본을 중심으로 각국에서는 자기 소자의 박막.소형화에 대한 다각도의 연구가 진행되었으나 국내서는 아직 미미한 실정이다. 따라서 고집적 전원 공급 장치나 지능 센서 등에 반도체와 자기 소자의 사용 주파수 대역과 크기가 통합된 반도체-자성체 IC(semiconductor-magnetic integrated circuit)의 필요성이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 현재 사용중인 벌크형 인덕터나, 트랜스 포머의 경우 10NHz이상의 고주파 대역에는 응용되지 못하고 있다. 이는 적용된 자성체가 페라이트(ferrite)로서 초투자율은 크지만 고주파대역에서의 공진 현상에 의해 저투자율을 나타내고, 포화 자속밀도가 낮기 때문이다. 이러한 페라이트 자성체의 대체품으로 주목받고 있는 것이 Fe, Co계 고비저항 자성마이다. 그러나 Co는 낮은 포화자속밀도를 나타내기 때문에 이러한 조건을 충족시키는 자성막으로 Fe계 미세 결정막을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 선택적 전기 도금법(selective electroplating method)과 LIGA like process를 이용하여 공시형 인덕터(air core inductor)의 라이브러리(library)를 구축한 뒤, 고주파 대역에서의 우수한 연자기 특성을 가지는 Ti/FeTaN막을 적용한 자기 박막 인덕터(magnetic thin film inductor)를 제작하여 비교.분석하였다. 제조된 인덕터의 특성 추정은 impedence analyzer를 이용하여 주파수에 따른 저항(resistance), 인덕턴스(inductance)를 측정, 계산한 성능지수(quality factor)로서 인덕터의 성능을 평가하였다. 제조된 박막 인덕터의 코일 형상은 5턴의 double rectangular spiral 구조였으며, 적용된 자성막의 유효 투자율9effective permeability)은 1500, 자성막, 절연막 그리고 코일의 두께는 각각 2$\mu\textrm{m}$, 1$\mu\textrm{m}$, 20$\mu\textrm{m}$이며 코일의 폭은 100$\mu\textrm{m}$, 코일간의 간격은 100$\mu\textrm{m}$였다. 제조된 박막 인덕터는 5MHz에서 1.0$\mu$H의 인덕턴스를 나타내었으며 dc current dervability는 100mA까지 유지되었다.

In this paper, a waveguide-type resonator with a slot is proposed to measure permittivity of thin film from resonant frequency shifting by an attached MUT(Material Under Test). The MUT on the slot shifts resonant frequency by perturbation of electromagnetic field. Amount of shifting resonance frequency is dependent on the permittivity of MUT, and that relation is obtained from numerical simulation. The measured relative permittivity of a thin film with thickness of $65{\mu}m$ is 3.3492 with standard error of ${\pm}0.0605$ in the frequency range of 2 GHz to 3 GHz. Also the proposed method is compared with other measuring methods such as dielectric resonator and waveguide probe systems.

Type-3 cylinder liner has a limitation of machining the standard specimen for fracture toughness test because it has approximately 5 mm in thickness as well as a curvature. Hence, it needs to be employed a miniature specimen test technique to evaluate fracture toughness of the cylinder liner. In this study, small punch (SP) test method was employed to evaluate fracture toughness of the cylinder liner. Load-displacement curve result measured from the SP test showed that the liner material was failed during membrane stretching in the general SP load-displacement curve. Additionally, it was shown that liner material was isotropic although the amount of plastic deformation was different depending on the direction due to manufacturing process characteristics. Fracture toughness, $J_{Ic}$, was evaluated using the SP test data. The value of fracture toughness obtained was $13.0kJ/m^2$. This value was similar to that of the same kind of materials. Therefore, the fracture toughness evaluated using the SP test data was reasonable.

Optical images on the porous silicon exhibiting Febry-Perot fringe pattern have been prepared by using an electrochemical etching of p-type silicon wafer (boron-doped,<100> orientation, resistivity $0.8{\sim}1.2m{\Omega}-cm$) and beam projector. The images remained in the substrate displayed an optical images correlating to the optical pattern and could be useful for optical data storage. A decrease in the effective optical thickness of the Febry-Perot layers was observed, indicative of a change in refractive index induced by exposing of porous silicon to the white light. This provides the ability to fabricate complex optical encoding in the surface of silicon.

This research discussed about the substrate transport phenomena in anaerobic biofilm. Three anaerobic fixed biofilm reactors were filled with the sludge of anaerobic digestor from Suyoung wastewater treatment plant. After 15 days of biofilm formation periods, suspended solids within the reactors were removed, and each fixed biofilm reactor was supplied with synthetic wastewater of different concentration of 8.00 mgTOC/L, 9.76 mgTOC/L and 18.97 mgTOC/L, respectively. The experimental results in conjunction with substrate transfer phenomena indicated that data - thickness, substrate removal rate. At the low influent substrate concentration(reactor 1 : 8.00 mgTOC/L, reactor 2 : 9.76 mgTOC/L), the rate of substrate utilization($k_v$), effective diffusivity($D_{eff}$) of substrate in biofilm were similar. While $k_v$ and $D_{eff}$ of the high influent substrate concentration(reactor 3 : 18.97 mgTOC/L) were higher than data in the reactors of the low influent substrate concentration.

In this study, the NREL 5 MW wind turbine tower model was optimized according to the multi-body dynamics and reliability-based design. The mathematical model was defined as a link-joint system including dynamic characteristics derived from Timoshenko's beam theory. For the optimization problem, the sensitivities to variations in the tower thicknesses and inner and outer diameters were acquired and arranged in terms of safety and efficiency according to bending stress and buckling standards. An optimal design was calculated with the advanced first-order second moment method and used to define a finite element model for validation. The finite element model was simulated by static analysis. The relationship between the multi-body dynamic and finite element method throughout the process was investigated, and the optimal model, which had high endurance despite its low mass, was determined.

The design strategy of the multi-functional structure is that the electrical components and the circuits are directly put on their supporting structural panel in which the radiation shields and the thermal control functions are integrated. Applying the multi-functional structure reduces the total mass and size of the space system and makes it possible to lower launch cost. In present study the performance of thermal radiation for six types of multi-functional structure are investigated by the numerical method. The effect of the rib configuration on heat transfer for the multi-functional-structure is not important alone but is meaningful considering with the structural stiffness, difficulty of manufacturing and mass increase. In heat spreading point of view, the thickness of the outer conductive layer is important rather than the rib configuration and the trade-off study with the mass and thickness is required for optimum design.
