최근 교량의 건설에 있어서 내진설계가 주요문제로 부각되면서, 구조물의 진동응답을 제어 하는 갖가지 형태의 진동제어 기법이 적용되고 있다. LRB(Lead Rebbe. Bearing), LUD(Lock Up Device)등 다양한 지진격리장치가 설계에 적용되고 있으며 특히, 설계변경 .내진보수보강과 같이 제약 조건이 있는 상황에서 유용한 면진방법으로 사용되고 있다. 이러한 지진격리장치는 기본적인 설계특성인 수평강성, 감쇠성능에 대한 검증을 필요로 한다. 특히, 지진과 같은 동적하중에 대하여 하중속도, 수직력, 변형률 등에 대한 의존성과 내구성의 검토가 필요하며 유사장치에 대하여 검증실험기준의 정립이 진행 중에 있다. 강재이력댐퍼인 E-Shape 댐퍼는 지진격리장치로서 교각의 고정단에 교좌장치로 설치되어 상시에는 탄성영역 내에서 거동하는 고정단의 역할을 하다가, 지진발생시에는 E-Shape형태의 강재댐퍼가 소성변형을 통한 이력거동으로 에너지 소산기능을 가진 교좌장치이다. 최근 LRB에 대하여는 다양한 특성실험이 수행되고 있으나 상대적으로 강재이력댐퍼에 대하여는 이러한 검증실험이 수반되지 않고 사용되고 있다. 본 실험연구에서는 E-Shape 강재이력댐퍼에 대하여 연직하중, 수평변형률, 수평속도에 패한 동적특성을 평가함으로서 강재이력댐퍼를 이용한 지진격리설계의 타당성과 면진성능을 평가해 보았다.

The strain localization of concrete is a phenomenon such that the deformation of concrete is localized in finite region along with softening behavior. The objective of this paper is to develop a plasticity and damage algorithm for the finite element analysis of the strain-localization in concrete. In this paper, concrete member under strain localization is modeled with localized zone and non-localized zone. For modeling of the localized zone in concrete under strain localization, a general Drucker-Prager failure criterion by which the nonlinear strain softening behavior of concrete after peak-stress can be considered is introduced in a thermodynamic formulation of the classical plasticity model. The return-mapping algorithm is used for the integration of the elasto-plastic rate equation and the consistent tangent modulus is also derived. For the modeling of non-localized zone in concrete under strain localization, a consistent nonlinear elastic-damage algorithm is developed by modifying the free energy in thermodynamics. Using finite element program implemented with the developed algorithm, strain localization behaviors for concrete specimens under compression are simulated.

We have been setting up experiments on propagation of shock waves generated by the pulsed laser ablation. One side of a thin metal foil is subjected to laser ablation as a shock wave propagates through the foil. The shock wave, which penetrates through the foil is reflected by an acoustic impedance which causes the metal foil to high-strain rate deform. This short time physics is captured on an ICCD camera. The focus of our research is applying shock wave and deformation of the thin foil from the ablation to accelerating micro-particles to a very high speed.

In this paper, we conducted high velocity impact test for Carbon/Epoxy composite laminates and proposed advanced method for predicting the absorbed energy of composite laminates. During high-velocity impact test, we discovered loss of projectile mass macroscopically using high speed camera, thus we calculated the absorbed energy of composite laminates by taking loss of projectile mass into account. We proposed a model for predicting the absorbed energy of composite laminates subjected to high-velocity impact, the absorbed energy was classified into static energy and dynamic energy. The static energy was calculated by the quasi-static perforation equation that is related to the fiber breakage and static elastic energy. The dynamic energy can be divided by the kinetic energy of deformed specimen and fragment mass. Finally, the predicted absorbed energy considering loss of projectile mass was compared with experimental results.

최근에 환경 오염과 화석 에너지의 고갈 문제를 해결하기 위하여 태양광을 전기 에너지로 변환하는 태양전지 연구에서 가장 이슈가 되는 부분은 저가격화와 고효율이다. 상용화 되어 있는 대부분의 태양전지는 단결정 실리콘 웨이퍼와 다결정 실리콘 웨이퍼를 사용한다. 실리콘 웨이퍼의 원자재 가격을 낮추는 방법에는 한계가 있기 때문에 태양전지 제작 공정에서 공정 단가를 낮추는 방법이 많이 연구되고 있고, 실리콘 웨이퍼가 가지는 재료의 특성상 화합물을 이용한 태양전지 보다 낮은 효율을 가질 수밖에 없기 때문에 반도체 소자 공정을 응용하여 실리콘 웨이퍼 기판에서 고효율을 얻는 방법으로 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로 블라스터를 이용하여 태양전지 cell 상부에 AG(anti-glare)를 가지는 유리 기판을 형성하여 낮은 단가로 태양전지 cell의 효율을 향상시키기 위한 연구를 진행 하였다. 태양전지 cell 상부에 AG를 가지는 유리 기판을 형성하게 되면 태양의 위도가 낮아 표면에서 대부분 반사되는 태양광을 태양전지 cell에서 광기전력효과가 일어나게 하여 효율을 향상시킨다. 이때 사용한 micro blaster 공정은 고속의 입자가 재료를 타격할 때 입자의 아래에는 고압축응력이 발생하게 되고, 이 고압 축응력에 의하여 소성변형과 탄성변형이 발생된다. 이러한 변형이 발전되어 재료의 파괴 초기값보다 크게 되면 크랙이 발생되고, 점점 더 발전하게 되면 재료의 제거가 일어나는 단계로 이루어지는 기계적 건식 식각 공정 기술이라 할 수 있다. 먼저 유리 기판에 마이크로 블라스터 장비를 이용하여 AG를 형성한다. AG는 $Al_2O_3$ 파우더의 입자 크기, 분사 압력, 노즐과 기판과의 간격, 반복 횟수, 노즐 이동 속도 등의 공정 조건에 따른 유리 기판 표면에서의 광학적 특성 및 구조적 특성에 관하여 분석하였다. 일반적인 태양전지 cell 제작 공정에 따라 cell을 제작 한후 AG 유리 기판을 상부에 형성시키고 솔라시뮬레이터를 이용하여 효율을 측정하였다. 이때 솔라시뮬레이터의 광원이 고정되어 있기 때문에 태양전지 cell에 기울기를 주어 태양의 위도 변화에 대해 간접적으로 측정하였다. AG 유리 기판이 태양전지 cell 상부에 형성 되었을 때와 없을 때를 각각 비교하여 AG 유리 기판이 형성된 태양전지 cell에서의 효율 향상을 확인하였다.

In this study, hygroelastic behavior of thermosetting epoxy is predicted by molecular dynamics simulations. Since consistent exposures to humid environments lead to macroscopic degradation of polymer composite, computational simulation study of the hygroscopically aged epoxy cell is essential for long-time durability. Therefore, we modeled amorphous epoxy molecular unit cell structures at a crosslinking ratio of 30, 90% and with the moisture weight fraction of 0, 4 wt% respectively. Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (EPON862) and triethylenetetramine (TETA) are chosen as resin and curing agent respectively. Incorporating equilibrium and non-equilibrium ensemble simulation with a classical interatomic potential, various hygroelastic properties including diffusion coefficient of water, coefficient of moisture expansion (CME), stress-strain curve and elastic modulus are predicted. To establish the structural property relationship of pure epoxy, free volume and internal non-bond potential energy of epoxy are examined.

The specimen materials used in this research are isotropic epoxy resins. The static photoelastic experiment was applied to them. And then the specimens used in photoelastic experiment were fractured under static load. The static photoelastic experimental hybrid method was introduced and its validity had been assured. Crack propagation criterion used the stress components, which are considered the higher order terms, obtained from the static photoelastic experimental hybrid method was introduced and it was applied to the minimum strain energy density criterion, the maximum tangential stress criterion and mode mixity. Comparing the actual initial angle of crack propagation with the theoretical initial angle of crack propagation obtained from the above failure criterions, the validities of the above two criterions are assured and the optimal distance (r) from the crack-tip is 0.01mm in order to get the initial angle of crack propagation of isotropic epoxy resin.

In this paper, structural behavior of Gasket and GDL of a PEMFC stack is studied to improve the performance and to secure the safety. In the Gasket analysis Mooney-Rivlin strain energy function is used to consider hyperelasticity of load and displacement. The material properties is determined by testing specimens of the gasket at uni-axial and equi-biaxial mode and compared with finite element analysis results. By measuring a thickness change, the material property of GDL is determined. The pressure drop of a unit cell is measured along the channel for the clamping force. A cross sectional change of channel base on the experimental data is obtained experimentally and compare with FEM analysis results.
