This paper proposes a floating-type wave energy conversion system that consists of a mechanical part (yo-yo vibrating system, motion rectifying system, and power transmission system) and electrical part (power generation system). The yo-yo vibrating system, which converts translational input to rotational motion, is modeled as a single degree-of-freedom system. It can amplify the wave input via the resonance phenomenon and enhance the energy conversion efficiency. The electromechanical model is established from impedance matching of the mechanical part to the electrical system. The performance was analyzed at various wave frequencies and damping ratios for a wave input acceleration of 0.14 g. The maximum output occurred at the resonance frequency and optimal load resistance, where the power conversion efficiency and electrical output power reached 48% and 290 W, respectively. Utilizing the resonance phenomenon was found to greatly enhance the performance of the wave energy converter, and there exists a maximum power point at the optimum load resistance.

The purpose of this investigation was to study the spatial changes of the maxillofacial complex following maxillary protraction transmitted to the center of resistance of a dry juvenile human skull by a modified maxillary protraction appliance. Four dry juvenile human skulls (without mandible) with well aligned upper deciduous dentition and early mixed dentition were used as experimental samples. A modified protraction headgear was fabricated from a Delare's facemask, and following an alginate impression, an orthodontic resin maxillary splint was made for each dry skull. Protraction force level was maintained at approximately 1000gm per side for 6 hours. Cephalometric radiographs were taken pre- and post- protraction, and nine reference markers with 1.5 mm length of $.017\times.025$ TMA wire were placed on the right side of the skull for an accurate superimposition of serial cephalometric radiographs. The present investigation demonstrated that vertical changes associated with an anterior displacement of the maxillary complex was observed, and the most prominent effect of protraction headgear was a counterclockwise rotation of the maxilla, that is, a forward and downward tipping around the palatomaxillary region.

We analyzed the wear characterization of $Si_3N_4$ ceramics according to the amount of added $SiO_2$ nanocolloid. The test specimen was prepared by hot-press sintering at 35 MPa and 2123 K in an $N_2$ gas atmosphere for 1 h. A wear test was performed with a block-on-ring tester, and the test conditions were as follows: (1) the ring with a diameter of 35 mm had a rotational speed of 50 rpm; (2) the load was 9.8 N; and (3) the temperature was $25^{\circ}C$. The test results show that $Si_3N_4$ ceramics have a friction coefficient of about 1.0 and a wear loss of about 0.02 mm. Of the specimens used this study, the test specimen with 1.3 wt% of added $SiO_2$ nanocolloid has the best wear resistance because it has the lowest friction coefficient and the smallest wear loss. This specimen also has the highest Vickers hardness and bending strength. In this study, the friction coefficient is inversely proportional to the hardness and bending strength.

This study aims to find out the standardized test criteria regarding patients with the anterior cruciate ligament damage by identifying the degree of the flexion gap of femur and tibia upon bending of the anterior cruciate ligament in order to carry out the accurate test of such impairment. On the standardized test method and judgement criteria upon the anterior cruciate ligament test using Telos, it has been shown that there was no significant difference in the results according to the position of a fixed roller in the anterior cruciate ligament test for normal patients. However, in a test for patients who had undergone the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, it has been shown that the measured values of the anterior cruciate ligament tended to be pushed when the position of a fixed roller was less than 1cm in the test according to the position of a fixed roller of Telos (less than 1cm, more than 3cm), and this was statistically significant. The anterior cruciate ligament test (knee stress test) is a limited method used in orthopedics and rehabilitation medicine, and there have been no standardized test guidelines available yet although numerous ligament measurement tests have been performed. In addition, since the measured values are often different depending on testers even on the test that is expected to give the same result, the reproducibility of the test is still low. Accordingly, it is considered that the criteria for the anterior cruciate ligament test need to be established, and this would contribute to the accuracy of the diagnosis through the accurate test and standardized measurements.

본 연구에서는 ITO/Ag/ITO 다층 박막을 유기발광소자와 플렉시블 광전소자의 전극으로 적용하기 위하여 선형 대항 타겟 스퍼터(Linear facing target sputter) 시스템을 이용하여 성막하였고, ITO/Ag/ITO 다층박막의 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성을 분석하였다. 선형 대항 타겟 스퍼터 시스템은 강한 일방항의 자계와 타겟에 걸린 음극에 의해 전자의 회전, 왕복 운동이 가능해 마주보는 두 ITO 타겟 사이에 고밀도의 플라즈마를 구속 시켜 플라즈마 데미지 없이 산화물 박막을 성막시킬 수 있는 장치이다. 대항 타겟 스퍼터 시스템을 이용하여 성막한 ITO 전극을 DC power, working pressure, Ar/O2 ratio 에 따른 특성을 각각 분석하였다. glass 기판위에 최적화된 ITO 전극을 bottom layer로 두고, bottom ITO layer 위에 thermal evaporation 을 이용하여 Ag 박막을 6~20nm의 조건에 따라 두께를 다르게 성막하고, Ag 박막을 성막한 후에 다시 bottom ITO 전극과 같은 조건으로 ITO 전극을 top layer로 성막 하였다. 두 비정질의 ITO 전극 사이에 매우 앓은 Ag 박막을 성막 함으로 해서 glass 기판위에 ITO/Ag/ITO 다층 박막전극은 매우 낮은 저항과 높은 투과도를 나타낸다. ITO/Ag/ITO 박막의 전기적 광학적 특성을 보기 위해 hall measurement와 UV/visible spectrometer 분석을 각각 진행하였다. ITO/Ag/ITO 다층 박막 전극이 매우 얇은 두께임에도 불구하고 $4\Omega$/sq.의 낮은 면저항과 85%의 높은 투과도를 나타내는 이유는 ITO/Ag/ITO 전극 사이에 있는 Ag층의 표면 플라즈몬 공명 (SPR) 현상으로 설명할 수 있다. ITO/Ag/ITO 전극의 Ag의 거동을 분석 하기위해 FESEM분석과 synchrotron x-ray scattering 분석을 하였다. ITO/Ag/ITO 전극의 Ag층이 islands의 모양에서 연속적으로 연결되는 변화과정 중에 SPR현상이 일어남을 알 수 있다. 여기서, 대항 타겟 스퍼터 시스템을 이용하여 성막한 ITO/Ag/ITO 다층박막을 OLED 또는 inverted OLEDs의 top 전극으로의 적용 가능성을 보이고 있다.

The purpose of this study Is to investigate the effect of $V_2$O$_{5}$ addition on the microstructures and magnetic properties of 7.7${\times}$4.5${\times}$1.0 mm sized multi-layer chip inductors prepared by the screen printing method using 0∼0.5 wt％ $V_2O_{5}$-doped NiCuZn ferrite pastes. With increasing the $V_2O_{5}$ content, the exaggerated grain growth of ferrite layers was developed due to the promotion of Ag diffusion and Cu segregation into the grain boundaries oi ferrites, which affected significantly the magnetic properties of the chip inductors. After sintering at $900^{\circ}C$, the inductance at 10 MHZ of the 0.5 wt％ $V_2O_{5}$-doped chip inductor was 3.7 ${\mu}$H less than 4.2 ${\mu}$H of the 0.3 wt% $V_2O_{5}$-doped one, which was thought to be caused by the residual stress at the ferrite layers increased with the promotion of Ag diffusion and Cu segregation. The quality factor of the 0.5 wt% $V_2O_{5}$-doped chip inductor decreased with increasing the sintering temperature, which was considered to be caused by the electrical resistivity of the ferrite layer decreased with the promotion of Ag/cu segregation at the grain boundaries and the growth of the mean grain size of ferrite due to exaggerated grain growth of ferrite layers.

Purpose: This study is aimed to assess changes of stress distribution dependent on different connection lengths and placement of the fixture top relative to the ridge crest. Materials and methods: The internal-conical connection implant which has a hexagonal anti-rotation index was used for FEM analysis on stress distribution in accordance with connection length of fixture-abutment. Different connection lengths of 2.5 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4.5 mm were designed respectively with the top of the fixture flush with residual ridge crest level, or 2 mm above. Therefore, a total of 6 models were made for the FEM analysis. The load was 170 N and 30-degree tilted. Results: In all cases, the maximum von Mises stress was located adjacent to the top portion of the fixture and ridge crest in the bone. The longer the connection length was, the lower the maximum von Mises stress was in the fixture, abutment, screw and bone. The reduction rate of the maximum von Mises stress depending on increased connection length was greater in the case of the fixture top at 2 mm above the ridge crest versus flush with the ridge crest. Conclusion: It was found that the longer the connection length, the lower the maximum von Mises stress appears. Furthermore, it will help prevent mechanical or biological complications of implants.

$(Bi_{0.15}Sb_{0.85})_2Te_3$ and $(Bi_{1-x}Sb_x)_2Te_3$ thermoelectric thin films were prepared by magnetron sputtering process, and their thermoelectric characteristics were investigated with variation of the sputtering condition and the $Sb_2Te_3$ content. The $(Bi_{0.15}Sb_{0.85})_2Te_3$ film, deposited by DC sputtering at $300^{\circ}C$ with rotating the Corning glass substrate at 10 rpm, was fully crystallized to $(Bi,Sb)_2Te_3$ phase with c-axis preferred orientation. This $(Bi_{0.15}Sb_{0.85})_2Te_3$ film exhibited the Seebeck coefficient of 185 $\mu$V/K which was higher than the values of other $(Bi_{0.15}Sb_{0.85})_2Te_3$ films fabricated with different sputtering conditions. With increasing the $Sb_2Te_3$ content, the Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity of p-type $(Bi_{1-x}Sb_x)_2Te_3$ (0.77$\leq$x$\leq$1.0) film were lowered. Among p-type $(Bi_{1-x}Sb_x)_2Te_3$ films, a maximum power factor of $0.79{\times}10^{-3}W/K^2-m$ was obtained at (Bi_{0.05}Sb_{0.95})_2Te_3$ composition..

터빈에서 핵심부품인 로터는 블레이드를 원심 운동시키는 대형 단조강이며, 고압의 증기 조건에서 고속회전하며 고온에서 운전과 저온에서 과속시험 동안 높은 원심력을 받는다. 또한 기동/정지 천이 동안 열응력을 받기 때문에, 이러한 운전조건에 부합되는 소재로서는 높은 Creep 강도 및 피로강도를 가지는 CrMoV type의 강종이 사용되어져 왔다. 발전소의 대용량화 및 고온화에 따라 종래의 증기조건에서 사용되어져 왔던 1%CrMoV강은 내산화성 및 내부식성이 문제가 되어 더 이상 사용이 불가하며, 고온/고압하에서도 우수한 소재 특성을 가지는 12%Cr강의 사용이 필수적이다. 그러나 12%Cr강으로 제작되는 로타는 Cr 양이 높기 때문에 저널부에 Galling 또는 Scuffing 이라 불리는 부적절한 마모현상과 사용 중 소착이 발생하기 쉬운 단점이 있기 때문에, 저널부에 Cr 함유량 2~3% 이하의 저합금강을 오버레이 용접하여 육성하는 일체형 가공구조의 로타 저널부가 주목되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Large scale 로타가 용접 도중 급열 및 급냉이 되지 않으면서 균일한 온도로 일정 시간 유지할 수 있는 열관리 장치 개발, 최적 오버레이 용접조건 선정 및 용접부 건전성 시험 평가를 통하여 12%Cr 로타 저널부의 최적 오버레이 용접공정을 확립하고자 하였다. 용접 열관리 장치는 전기저항 가열방식을 적용하고 있으며 용접이 최종 완료되기 전까지 로타 제품 전체는 $93^{\circ}C$이상의 온도로 유지 되어져야 하며, 규정 용접후열처리 온도는 $650^{\circ}C{\pm}14^{\circ}C$ 이다. 또한 로타 오버레이 용접은 모재 Set up $\Rightarrow$ 용접예열 $\Rightarrow$ GTA용접 $\Rightarrow$ SA용접 $\Rightarrow$ 용접후열(Post heating) $\Rightarrow$ 용접후열처리(PWHT) $\Rightarrow$ 정삭가공 $\Rightarrow$ NDE(UT) 순으로 수행 되어진다 실제 로타의 1/3 Scale로 시험편을 제작하여, 오버레이 mockup 시험을 수행한 후 화학성분, 경도 분포, 인장강도, 충격인성 및 굽힘시험을 수행한 결과, 오버레이 용접에서 요구되어지는 용접 물성값을 만족하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 균열 등의 선형 결함이나 기공, 슬라그 혼입과 같은 결함은 관찰되지 않았으며, 용접 시 아크의 안정성과 슬라그의 박리성은 양호하였으며 비드의 외관도 미려하여 용접 작업성도 양호하였다.

In this study, the effects of surface oxide film formation on the fatigue behavior of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy were analyzed in terms of the corrosion time of the alloy. The aluminum material used is known to have high corrosion resistance due to the passivation phenomenon that prevents corrosion. Aluminum alloys have been widely used in various industrial applications such as aircraft component manufacturing because of their lighter weight and higher strength than other materials. Therefore, studies on the fatigue behavior of materials and passivation properties that prevent corrosion are required. The fatigue behavior in terms of the corrosion time was analyzed by using a four-pointing bending machine, and the surface corrosion level of the aluminum material in terms of the corrosion time was estimated by measuring the surface roughness. In addition, fractographic analysis was performed and the oxide films formed on the material surface were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that corrosion actively progressed for four weeks during the initial corrosion phase, the fatigue life significantly decreased, and the surface roughness increased. However, after four weeks, the corrosion reaction tended to slow down due to the passivation phenomenon of the material. Therefore, on the basis of SEM analysis results, it was concluded that the growth of the surface oxide film was reduced after four weeks and then the oxide film on the material surface served as a protection layer and prevented further corrosion.
