Electrical conduction in $SrZr_{1-x}Y_xO_{3-\delta}$((x=0.05, 0.10)-metal electrode system was investigated by impedance spectroscopy and two-probe d.c. conductivity measurement. Electrode conductivity in anodic direction varies with $P_W^{1/2}$( and that in cathodic direction with $P_{O2}^{1/4}$ in oxidizing atmosphere. In hydrogen atmosphere, the addition of water vapor increased the electrode conductivity both in anodic and cathodic direction. Increasing dopant concentration from 5 to 10% showed a more than four times increase in anodic conduction as well as bulk conduction of the solid electrolyte. This observation implies that unfilled oxygen vacancy concentration increases rapidly as the dopant content increases in humid atmosphere. The activation energy of cathodic conduction in Pt and Ag electrode was nearly same below $800^{\circ}C$ which means the rate of cathodic reaction is determined by the reaction in the electrolyte surface rather than on the metal electrodes.

작은 직경의 외부 전극 형광램프와 냉음극 형광램프는 LCD-TV의 광원으로 사용하고 있다. 교류 전압으로 구동되는 외부전극 형광램프와 교류 및 직류 전압으로 구동되는 냉음극 형광램프에서 광 방출 신호를 관측하였다. 이러한 빛은 양광주의 고전압부에서 접지부로 $10^5-10^6\;m/s$의 속도로 전파한다. 램프에서 방출된 광이 양광주를 따라 전파하는 현상은 일반 형광등과 네온싸인관에서도 동일하게 관측된다. 이러한 빛의 전파 현상은 지난 70년의 형광 램프 역사상 처음 관측되었다. 양광주 영역의 플라즈마는 높은 전압과 수 십 kHz가 인가되는 전극부에서 발생한 고밀도 플라즈마의 확산으로 생성된다. 고전압이 인가된 전극부에서 발생한 고밀도의 플라즈마는 인가되어지는 구동 주파수에 해당하는 섭동으로 작용하여 플라즈마 파동으로 양광주 영역으로 전파된다. 이러한 플라즈마 파동은 고밀도 전극부에서 저밀도 양광주 영역으로 플라즈마 밀도의 차이에 의하여 된다. 이때 파동의 전파 속도는 관 전류에 따라 달라진다. 타운젠트 방전 이전의 저 전류일 때는 ${\sim}10^5\;m/s$이며, 타운젠트 방전 이후 글로우 방전에서의 전파 속도는 ${\sim}10^6\;m/s$로 증가한다. 또한 타운젠트 방전 이전의 저 전류에서는 파동이 감쇠하는 경향을 보이며, 고 전류에서의 파동의 감쇠는 매우 작다. 관측된 광신호의 결과로부터 전파되는 파동의 원인은 플라즈마 확산에 의한 밀도의 차이에 의한 것으로 해석된다. 즉, 수 십 kHz의 구동 주파수를 갖는 플라즈마 파동이 양광주의 플라즈마 밀도 구배에 의하여 전파된다. 이러한 파동은 높은 전압이 인가되는 전극부에서 낮은 전압부로 향하는 조류의 흐름과 같이 나타난다.

A gear forming method by cold extrusion and an analytical method with its numerical solution program based on the upper bound method were developed. In the analysis the involute curve was as a shape of die and the upper bound method was used to calculate energy dissipation rate. By this method the power requirement and optimum conditions necessary for extruding helical(spur) gear were successfully calculated. These numerical solutions are in good agreement with experimental data. In the experiment, 4-6 class helical gear of KS standard for automobile transmission was successfully manufactured.

The lightning protection of information and communication facilities is very important factor to improve a reliability of the action of these equipment. Especially the transient potential rise of ground electrode being injected with the lightning current is to be a basic data of the dielectric strength for both power and communication facilities so that more accurate analysis should be required. The transient potential rise can be calculated from the ground impedance and the ground impedance is strongly dependent upon the shape of the ground electrode and the frequency-dependence of soil. The Debye's equation which is able to calculate the characteristics of dielectrics is used to analyze the frequency-dependent of soil. Also, the method to calculate the transient potential rise from the ground impedance is specified in this paper. In order to analyze the transient potential rise resulting from calculations with Debye's equation, TLM(transmission line method) and case of ${\rho}$(resistivity)-constant are simulated, respectively. The length of a horizontal ground electrode is 30 m and simulations were performed at 10, 100, $1000{\Omega}{\cdot}m$ with the standard lightning current waveform. In result, the transient potential rise of horizontal ground electrode calculating with Debye's equation is lower than it of other models.

Electrode contact resistance is a crucial factor in physiological measurements and can be an accuracy limiting factor to perform electrical impedance measurements. The electrical bio-impedance values can be calculated by the conductivity and permittivity of underlying tissue using implant electrode in human skin. In this study we focus on detecting physiological changes in the human skin layers such as the sebum layer, stratum corneum layer, epidermis layer, dermis layer, subcutaneous fat and muscle. The aim of this paper is to obtain optimal design for implantable electrode at subcutaneous fat layer through the simulation by finite element methods(FEM). This is achieved by evaluating FEM simulations geometrically for different electrodes in length(50 mm, 70 mm), in shape(rectangle, round square, sexangle column), in material(gold) and in depth(22.325 mm) based on the information coming from the subcutaneous fat layer. In bio-impedance measurement experiments, according to electrode shapes and applied voltage, we have ascertained that there was the highest difference of bio-impedance in subcutaneous fat layer. The methodology of simulation can be extended to account for different electrode designs as well as more physical phenomena that are relevant to electrical impedance measurements of skin and their interpretation.

As the number of underground structures has increased in recent decades, it has become crucial to predict geological hazards ahead of a tunnel face during tunnel construction. Consequently, this study developed a finite element (FE) numerical model to simulate electrical resistivity surveys in tunnel boring machine (TBM) operations for predicting mixed ground conditions in front of tunnel faces. The accuracy of the developed model was verified by comparing the numerical results not only with an analytical solution but also with experimental results. Using the developed model, a series of parametric studies were carried out to estimate the effect of geological conditions and sensor geometric configurations on electrical resistivity measurements. The results of these studies showed that both the interface slope and the difference in electrical resistivity between two different ground formations affect the patterns and variations in electrical resistivity observed during TBM excavation. Furthermore, it was revealed that selecting appropriate sensor spacing and optimizing the location of the electrode array were essential for enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of predictions related to mixed ground conditions. In conclusion, the developed model can serve as a powerful and reliable tool for predicting mixed ground conditions during TBM tunneling.

This paper reports a methodology for calculating distribution of the director in an In-plane switching liquid crystal cell by a numerical technique. To calculate distribution of the director, we developed a three dimensional finite element method (FEM) and calculated the distribution of electric potential and electric field in the liquid crystal cell. We have considered the free-energy density composed of electric potential and strain energy in the bulk of liquid crystal cell and calculated the switching property of liquid crystal cell by the Ericksen-Leslie equation and the Laplace equation We generated 1,859 nodes and 8,640 elements for IPS mode cell with 24${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$12${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$4.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and performed transient analysis until 16ms. As a result, horizontal electric field occurred at cell region except liquid crystal region above electrodes and the disclination occured on electrodes.

The electrode material is one of the factors affecting the power production of microbial fuel cell. In this study, effects of carbon electrode material, thickness and configuration on the power density, biofilm formation and microbial community diversity of microbial fuel cell were investigated. To optimize the anode-cathode electrode assembly, seven lab-scale reactors which had various carbon electrode constructions were operated in continuous mode. Under the steady state condition, the electrode combination of graphite felt (6 mm) with hole showed the highest cell voltage of 238 mV and the coulombic efficiency of 37%. As a result of SEM analysis, the bacteria growing on surface of knitted type of carbon cloth and graphite felt electrode ncreased significantly. The change of dominant species between seeding sludge and biofilm on the surface of anode electrode, microbial analysis with PCR-DGGE showed that the dominant species of seeding sludge are quite different from those of biofilm on the surface of each anode electrode. Especially Geobacter sp., a well known electrochemical bacteria, was found as the dominant species of the electrode combination with graphite felt.
