A Compton X-ray backscatter technique has been developed to quantitatively assess impact damage in quasi-isotropic laminated composites made by a drop-weight tester. X-ray backscatter imaging system with a slit-type camera is constructed to obtain a cross-sectional profile of impact-damaged laminated composites from the electron-density variation of the cross section. A nonlinear scattering model based on Boltsman equation is introduced to compute Compton X-ray backscattering field for the defect assessment. An adaptive filter is also used to reduce noises from many sources including quantum noise and irregular distributions of fibers and matrix in composites. Delaminations masked or distorted by the first delamination are detected and characterized effectively by the Compton X-ray backscatter technique, both in width and location, by application of error minimization algorithm.

Birnessite is a layered manganese oxide mineral with ~7 Å of d-spacing. Because of its high cation exchange capacity, birnessite greatly impacts the chemical compositions of ground water and fluids in sediment pores. Understanding the cation exchange mechanisms requires atomistic investigations of the crystal structures and coordination environments of hydrated cations in the interlayer. In this study, we conducted classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, an atomistic simulation method of computational mineralogy, for triclinic Na-birnessite and K-birnessite whose chemical formula are from previous experiments. We report our MD simulation results of the crystal structures, coordination environments of Na⁺ and K⁺, and the polytypes of birnessite and compare them with available experimental results. The simulation results well reproduced experimental lattice parameters and provided atomic level information for the interlayer cation and water molecule sites that are difficult to distinguish in X-ray experiments. We also report that the polytype of the Mn octahedral sheets is identical between Na- and K-birnessite, but the cation positions differ from each other, demonstrating a correlation between the coordination environment of the interlayer cations and the crystal lattice parameters. This study shows that MD simulations are very promising in elucidating ion exchange reactions of birnessite.

Aluminum-pillared clay was prepared by the intercalation of Al-hydroxy oligomer into domestic bentonite. The solid products are characterized by XRD, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, EDX, and SEM. The solid products show relatively high specific surface areas in the range of $104{\sim}228m^2/g$, and their specific surface area, micropore surface area, and micropore volume increase with increasing the mole ratio of OH/Al. From the results of pore size distribution calculated by BJH equation, it was found that aluminum-pillared clay also contains much mesopore near $40{\AA}$. These results indicate that Al-hydroxy oligomer was intercalated into bentonite, and aluminum oxide was pillared among the layers of bentonite, and micropore and mesopore was finally developed into layers. As OH/Al mole ratio increases, the thermal stability of aluminum-pillared clay increases. This result can be explained by the fact that the density of layers is increased due to the formation of aluminum pillars.

본 연구에서는 철골모멘트골조의 패널존변형을 명시적으로 고려한 탄성층 간변위의 근사해석 방법을 제안하였다. 본 방법은 고전적 포탈법의 가정 및 D 치법에 기반한 해석적 접근법이다. 즉 포탈법의 가정에 따라 횡력을 받는 골조를 보-기둥 부분 골조로 분해한 후 대표적 내부 부분골조의 보, 기둥 및 패널존에서 기인하는 모든 횡변위 성분을 해석적으로 계산한다. 이때에 필요한 모든 내력(가령 패널존 전단변형 산정을 위한 보의 불균형모멘트)의 결정에 D 치법을 이용한다. 구조바닥의 강막작용을 고려하면 위의 과정을 통하여 산출된 대표적 내부 부분골조의 횡변위는 전체 골조의 횡변위와 거의 동일할 것으로 기대할 수 있다. 본 방법의 타당성 여부는 반강절 접합요소를 사용한 해석적 엄밀해와 비교하여 검증하였으며 만족스런 결과를 주는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 방법에 의해 컴퓨터해석에 의하지 않고도 철골모멘트골조의 탄성층간변위를 실용성있는 정확도로서 신속하게 산정할 수 있으므로 본 연구의 결과는 예비적 횡강성 평가에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 또한 본 방법의 적용과정에서 해석자는 철골모멘트골조의 횡변위 기동에 관한 물리적 감각을 증진시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study has been investigated the Influence of layer thickness on the mechanical properties of cross laminated carbon fiber/epoxy composites. And also the difference of mechanical properties between cross laminated composites of unidirectional prepreg and fabric prepreg has been investigated. Experimental results are showed that the Interlamina Shear Strength(ILSS) of cross laminated carbon fiber/epoxy composites decreased with increasing thickness of unit ply and the decree of delamination in the laminated composites increased as ILSS decreased. Fracture toughness and impact values were found to increase as delamination occurs to some extent in the laminated composites. It Is also shown thats mechanical properties of cross laminates from unidirectional prepreg were better than those of cross laminates from fabric prepreg.

반도체 집적도의 비약적인 발전으로 각 박막 층간의 두께는 더욱 줄어들었고 이는 각 박막 층간의 확산에 대한 문제를 간과할 수 없게 하였다. 따라서 각 층간의 확산을 방지하기위한 확산방지막의 연구에 대한 관심도는 증가하게 되었다. 또한 본 연구에서 분석을 위하여 사용된 Nanoindenter는 박막 표면에 다이아몬드 팁을 이용하여 압입을 실시하여 이때 시표의 반응에 의한 팁의 위치(Z-축)를 in-situ로 측정하여 인가력과 팁의 위치에 대한 연속 압입곡선을 측정하게 된다. 이를 통하여 박막의 hardness와 elastin modulus를 측정하게 되고, 연속 압입곡선 분석을 통하여 박막의 표면응력 변화를 측정한다. 이 논문에서는 반도체의 기판으로 사용되는 Si 기판과 금속배선 물질인 Cu와의 확산을 효과적으로 방지하기 위한 W-C-N 확산방지막을 제시하였고, 시료 증착을 위하여 rf magnetron sputter를 사용하여 동일한 증착 조건에서 질소(N)의 비율을 다르게 하여 박막내 질소 비율에 따른 확산방지막을 제작하였다. 이후 시료의 열적 안정성 측정을 위하여 상온에서 $900^{\circ}C$ 까지 질소 분위기에서 30분간 열처리 과정을 실시하여 열적 손상을 인가하였고, 고온에서 확산방지막의 열적인 안정성을 Nanoindentation 분석을 이용하여 측정하였다. 측정 결과 박막내 질소 불포함된 박막의 경우 표면 강도는 9.01 GPa에서 194.01 GPa의 급격한 변화를 보였고, 질소가 포함된 박막은 9.41 GPa에서 43.01 GPa으로 상대적으로 적은 차이를 보였다. X-ray 분석 결과에서도 박막내 질소가 포함된 박막이 고온에서도 더 안정된 특성을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

반도체 집적도의 비약적인 발전으로 각 박막 층간의 두께는 더욱 줄어들었고 이는 각 박막 층간의 확산에 대한 문제를 간과할 수 없게 하였다. 따라서 각 층간의 확산을 방지하기 위하여 두께가 수십 nm size의 확산방지막의 연구에 대한 관심도는 증가하게 되었다. 본 연구에서 분석을 위하여 사용된 Nano-indentation은 박막 표면에 다이아몬드 팁을 이용하여 압입을 실시하여 이때 시표의 반응에 의한 팁의 위치(Z-축)를 in-situ로 측정하여 인가력과 팁의 위치에 대한 연속 압입곡선을 측정하게 된다. 이를 통하여 박막의 hardness와 elastic modulus를 측정하게 되고, 연속 압입곡선 분석을 통하여 박막의 표면응력 변화를 측정한다. 이 논문에서는 반도체의 기판으로 사용되는 Si기판과 금속배선 물질인 Cu와의 확산을 효과적으로 방지하기 위한 W-C-N 확산 방지막을 제시하였고, 시료 증착을 위하여 RF-magnetron sputter를 사용하여 동일한 증착조건에서 질소(N)의 비율을 다르게 하여 박막 내 질소비율에 따른 확산방지막을 제작하였다. 이후 시료의 열적 안정성 측정을 위하여 상온, $600^{\circ}C$, $800^{\circ}C$로 각각 질소 분위기에서 30분간 열처리 과정을 실시하여 열적 손상을 인가하였다. 고온에서 확산방지막의 물리적 특성을 알아보기 위해 Nano-indentation을 이용하여 분석하였고, WET-SPM을 이용하여 표면 이미지와 거칠기를 확인하였다. 그 결과 질화물질이 내화물질에 비해 고온에서 물성변화가 적게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었고, 균일도와 결정성 또한 질화물질에서 더 안정적이었다.

Cobalt can be released into the natural environment as industrial waste from the alloying industry and as acid mine drainage, and it is also a radionuclide (⁶⁰Co) that constitutes high-level radioactive waste. Smectite is a mineral that can be useful for adsorption and isolation of this element. In this study, Cheto-type montmorillonite (Cheto-MM), which is the source clays of The Clay Mineral Society (CMS) and already well-characterized, was used. The effect of the adsorption site affected by the presence of interlayer water on the adsorption of cobalt before and after dehydration by heating was evaluated and the adsorption mechanism of cobalt on Cheto-MM was studied by applying adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm models. The results showed that the adsorption characteristics changed with dehydration and subsequent shrinkage, and cobalt was found to be adsorbed at the edge of Cheto-MM for about 38% and adsorbed at the interlayer site for about 62%, suggesting that the cobalt adsorption of Cheto-MM is significantly influenced by the interlayer. By applying the adsorption kinetic models, the cobalt adsorption kinetics of Cheto-MM is explained by a pseudo-second-order model, and the concentration-dependent adsorption was best described by the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model. This study provides basic knowledge on the adsorption characteristic of cobalt on montmorillonite with different adsorption sites and is expected to be useful in predicting the adsorption behavior of smectite in high-level radioactive waste disposal sites in the future.

Recent rise in the supply rate of new public apartment houses leads to an increasement in disputes regarding the construction quality of the apartments between the residents and the construction companies. According to the dispute cases filed for claiming the collective defect repair fees, inter-layer concrete joints turned out to be the most frequently disputed item. For this reason, this study selects the inter-layer concrete joints to further analyze the primary causes and details of each dispute case. From the results of this study, three primary causes of the disputes are found, which are 1) the absence of standard specifications for construction quality control and management after construction; 2) the absence of established standards for repair when construction defects are found; and 3) the fact that the court grants generous compensation for disputes concerning the apartment houses. In order to prevent construction defects in inter-layer concrete joints, this study provides three suggestions including 1) the current standard specifications for inter-layer concrete joints should be further specified by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport; 2) a construction defect should be judged according to the compliance to the standard specifications; and 3) a clear and institutional protocol needs to be established for defect repair in cases that new public apartment houses have been judged to have defects.

RADAR Absorbing Structure (RAS), one of stealth technologies, is a multifunctional composite that is capable of supporting load and absorbing electromagnetic waves. In order to supplement the shortcomings of the existing RAS, a hybrid RAS in which the short carbon fiber layers were inserted has been proposed. However, the inserted short carbon fiber layers may affect the mechanical properties of the structure. Therefore, this study measured the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of the hybrid RAS with the inserted short carbon fiber layer. The ILSS of hybrid composite with different areal densities of the short carbon fiber layer was measured to investigate the effect of changes in the areal density of the short carbon fiber layer on the ILSS of the structure. In addition, the ILSS of the 4 kinds of the hybrid RAS were measured and compared with the ILSS of glass/epoxy. As a result of the measurement, it was confirmed that the short carbon fiber layer did not significantly affect the ILSS of the hybrid composite and the hybrid RAS.
