Polyurethane (PU)/nylon 6 blends were prepared by melt blending with Haake Rheomix at $250^{\circ}C$. The compositions of PU/nylon 6 blends were 10/90, 20/80, 30/70, 40/60, and 50/50 (wt%). The effects of PU contents and blending time on the crystal structure, tan $\delta$, the tensile properties, and the impact behavior were investigated by means of WAXD and DMA, etc. The crystalline diffraction peaks are broadened, and their intensities are reduced with increasing PU contents and blending time. The glass transition temperature, the tensile strength, and the tensile modulus of the blends are also decreased and the elongation at break is increased. The influence of PU content on the crystal structure, tan 3, and the tensile properties of PU/nylon 6 blends is more significant than that of blending time. The impact strength of PU/nylon 6 (10/90 wt%) blends measured at 20 and $-35^{\circ}C$ could be greatly improved.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the applicability of high temperature drying to pitch pine (Pinus rigida) lumber, especially intended for use as lamina of structural glued laminated timber (glulam), to enhance the efficient utilization and provide added-value to that species. The high temperature schedule and drying procedures utilized were shown to be reasonable for drying glulam lamina due to the occurrence of small moisture gradients, minimal residual drying stress, and low warpage. Through preliminary tests, it was confirmed that residual resin at lamina surfaces did not adversely affect the gluing process. However, quantitative analysis of resin is required for developing a method to constrain the occurrence of pitch trouble with respect to decreasing long-term adhesive and finish durability of glulam in use after manufacturing. The final moisture content of high temperature dried lamina was much lower than target moisture content and discoloration was more severe than anticipated. In a further study, it will be necessary to determine the optimal drying conditions, such as temperature, humidity, drying time, and top load restraint level, which could best control discoloration, warpage, and moisture content of the lamina, while minimizing fuel expense.

알루미늄 합금은 질량 대비 강도가 우수하고 내식성 및 저온 특성이 양호하여 구조재로서 널리 사용되고 있다. 또한 그 사용 추세가 점점 증가 하고 있으며 알루미늄 합금의 용접을 위해 현재까지 다양한 용접 공정이 적용되었다. 일반적으로 GMAW, GTAW 등의 아크 용접과 박판의 경우 저항 점용접, 그 외의 $CO_2$ laser, Nd:YAG laser와 같은 고밀도 에너지 용접 공정에 의한 연구 결과들이 많이 발표 되었다. 하지만 알루미늄 합금의 특성 상 용접부에 기공과 균열과 같은 결함들이 각 공정에서 많이 발생하며 이러한 결함을 감소시키기 위한 용접기술에 관해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 GMAW, Plasma-GMAW 공정을 적용하여 알루미늄 합금의 용접특성을 비교하였다. 알루미늄 합금 Al 5052, Al 6061 4mm 두께 모재에 대해 BOP(Bead On Plate) 용접실험을 실시하였으며 생산성 측면에서 각 공정에 따라 완전 용입 시 최대 용접 속도를 측정하여 비교하였다. 용접 품질 측면에서는 비드 표면 및 단면을 검사하고 인장시험을 수행하였으며, 용접 기공과 균열을 X-ray 촬영을 통해 비교하였다. 또한 고속카메라 촬영을 통해 용접 중 플라즈마로 인한 산화막 제거 효과를 확인하고 각 공정별 용접 시작부의 아크 안정성을 평가하였다. 인장시험 결과 모든 모드에서 모재에서 파단됨을 확인 하였고, Plasma-GMAW 공정의 경우 플라즈마의 예열효과로 인하여 GMAW 보다 완전용입 기준 용접속도가 빨랐으며, 청정작용도 우수한 것으로 확인되었다.

본 논문은 유연전극의 플라즈마 반응을 위한 고효율 전원장치에 대한 연구이다. 유연전극은 저온 플라즈마 방전으로, 수 kV의 AC형태의 고전압 및 소전력 구동 사양이 요구된다. 상용전원을 사용하는 유연전극용 고전압 전원장치는 AC-DC, DC-AC로 변환이 가능한 2단 구조를 갖는다. 1단은 낮은 전력에서 높은 효율을 달성 할 수 있는 CrM(Critical Conduction Mode) PFC와 전부하 영역 소프트 스위칭을 통해 고효율 달성이 용이한 LLC 공진 컨버터를 사용하였다. 유연전극은 사양에 따라 커패시턴스가 달라진다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 유연전극 사양에 따른 공진 주파수의 최적화를 통해서 유연전극의 플라즈마 반응 및 특성 시험을 위해 고효율 전원장치를 구성하였다. 실험을 통해서 유연전극용 고효율 전원장치를 검증하였다.

In order to evaluate the properties of the sintered zirconia for optical ferrule, specimens were prepared at 1350, 1400 and $1450^{\circ}C$ using starting materials supplied by A, B and C providers. Crystallinity, microstructure and mechanical strength were tested as a function of sintering temperature. Crystallinity of the sintered specimens was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. A field emission-scanning electron microscope was used for studying the microstructure after sintering. Bending strength and Vickers' hardness were also examined by universial tester and Vickers' hardness tester, respectively. The specimen B sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ was favorable because of its high tetragonality and good mechanical strength for practical usage.

Physical and microstructural properties of Pungchon and Maggol limestone were investigated quantitatively during 50 cycles of artificial freezing and thawing test. There were decrease in dry weight and P,S-wave velocity, and increase in absorption rate in both rock types. Porosity, pore volume, equivalent diameter, throat thickness and pore orientation were analyzed using X-ray computed tomography images. Porosity increased, and initiation and expansion of pores were investigated as weathering progresses. Physical and microstructural variation in Maggol limestone was larger than that of Pungchon limestone because Maggol limestone has more pores and microcracks at initial state. As this study analyzes physical and microstructural properties of rock specimens comprehensively, it can be applied to further rock weathering study and can be used as fundamental data of construction and resource development in cold regions.

MIRIS 우주관측카메라는 과학기술위성 3호의 주탑재체로서 $0.8{\sim}2.0{\mu}m$의 근적외선영역에서 우주배경복사와 우리은하 평면의 Pa-$\alpha$ survey 관측을 목적으로 한다. 이러한 임무를 수행하기 위해 MIRIS 우주관측카메라에는 MCT(HgCdTe) IR 검출기가 사용되고 6개의 필터를 장착할 수 있는 필터휠이 설계되었으며, 열잡음을 줄이고 원하는 SNR을 얻기 위해 모두 100K 이하로 냉각이 요구된다. 효과적인 냉각 및 저온유지를 위해서 외부의 열을 1차적으로 차단하는 Cryostat 외부용기와 100K 이하로 냉각되는 내부 Cold Box의 이중구조를 가지는 Dewar가 설계 되었다. 내부 Cold Box의 냉각은 소형 stirling cooler로 이루어지고 외부의 열 유입량이 Cooler의 냉각용량을 넘지 않도록 설계하였다. Cryostat 외부용기는 radiation cooling으로 냉각되어 200K 이하의 온도를 유지하며 내부 Cold Box로의 열유입을 최소화하기 위해 GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic) 단열 지지대와 MLI(Multi Layer Insulation)가 사용된다. 또한 100K으로 냉각시 필터고정부와 Cold Box 구조에서 일어날 수 있는 구조적인 피로도를 줄이고 열변형에 의한 문제를 방지하기 위한 고려가 설계에 포함되었다. FM(Flight Model)은 고진공 환경의 우주공간에서 문제가 발생하지 않도록 설계되었다. 또한 EQM 진동시험결과를 토대로 발사환경에서 발생하는 강한 진동을 견딜 수 있도록 FEM(Finite Elements Method) 구조해석을 통하여 필터고정부에 flexible structure 설계와 완충제를 추가하고 필터휠 구동부와 harness 고정부 및 cooler 지지부를 비롯한 전체 구조물에서 충분히 진동을 극복할 수 있도록 설계하였다.

MEMS based solid propellant thruster researched for the purpose of an academic research will be verified at space environment through CubeSat program. For this, the temperature of the MEMS thruster should be within allowable operating temperature range by proper thermal control to prevent the ignition failure caused by ignition time delay and to guarantee the structural safety of the MEMS thruster in the low temperature. In this study, we proposed an effective thermal control strategy, that is to use micro-igniter as a heater and temperature sensor for active thermal control instead of using additional heater. The effectiveness of the strategy has been verified through on-orbit thermal analysis of CubeSats with MEMS thruster.

This study is to investigate the temperature curve and development of compressive strength due to the curing conditions and to evaluate the optimum curing condition of test specimens showing the same development of strength to that of real structures in cold weather. The results of temperature curve with curing conditions in mock-up tests showed the trend of decrease plain concrete with insulation form, plain concrete with heating, concrete with accelerator for freeze protection, and control concrete in turn. The strength development of plain concrete of inside and outside of shelter showed the very slow strength gains due to early freezing, but that of concrete with accelerator for freeze protection showed the gradual increase of strength with time. From this, it is clear that accelerator for freeze protection has the effects of reducing the freezing temperature and accelerating the hardening under low temperature. Strength test results of small specimens embedded in members and located in insulation boxes at the site are similar to that of cores drilled from the members at the same ages, thus it is clear that these curing methods are effective for evaluation in-place concrete strength.
