This study reports the improvement of mechanical properties of Al₂O₃ porous ceramics from colloidal suspension with the addition of carbon fiber by direct foaming. The initial colloidal suspension of Al₂O₃ was partially hydrophobized by surfactant to stabilize wet foam with the addition of carbon fiber from 2 to 8 wt% as stabilizer. The influence of carbon fiber on the air content, bubble size, pore size and pore distribution in terms of wet foam stability and physical properties of porous ceramics were discussed. The viscosity of the colloidal suspension was increased giving solid like properties with the increased in carbon fiber content. The mechanical properties of the sintered porous samples were investigated by Hertzian indentation test. The results show the wet foam stability of more than 90% corresponds to compressive loading of 156.48 N and elastic modulus of 57.44 MPa of sintered sample with 8 wt% of carbon fiber content.

The two-step water splitting thermochemical cycle is composed of the T-R (Thermal Reduction)and W-D (Water Decomposition)steps. The mechanism of this cycle is oxidation-reduction, which produces hydrogen. The reaction temperature necessary for this thermochemical cycle can be achieved by a dish-type solar thermal collector (Inha University, Korea). The purpose of this study is to validate a water splitting device in the field. The device is studied and fabricated by Kodama et al (2010, 2011). The validation results show that the foam device, when loaded with $NiFe_2O_4/m-ZrO_2$powder, was successfully achieved hydrogen production with 9 (10 with a Xe-light solar simulator, 2009, Kodama et al.) repeated cycles under field conditions. Two foam device used in this study were tested for validation before an experiment was performed. The lab scale ferrite-conversion rate was in the range of 24~76%. Two foam devices were designed to for structural stability in this study. In the results of the experiments, the hydrogen percentage of the weight of each foam device was 7.194 and $9.954{\mu}mol\;g^{-1}$ onaverage, and the conversion rates 4.49~29.97 and 2.55~58.83%, respectively.

연탄 연소시 발생하는 일산화탄소의 촉매전환에 의한 제독 실험을 실시하였다. 구형 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ pellets, ceramic foam, honeycomb 등 세가지 다른 형태의 지지체에 0.2%의 백금을 담지시킨 후 촉매를 연탄연소 실험에 응용한 결과 첫회 사용시에는 일산화탄소의 제거효과가 모두 우수하였으나 반복 사용할 경우 사용횟수에 따라 촉매활성 전하 현상이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 사용한 촉매양에 비하여 ceramic foam 촉매가 제독효과 및 내구성에서 가장 우수하였다. 촉매활성저하 원인은 아연 및 황화합물에 의한 촉매독이 뚜렷하였고 소결 등에 의한 백금 활성면적의 감소현상도 동시에 나타났다.

Direct numerical simulations of a spatially developing turbulent boundary layer on a flat plate have been performed to verify the applicability of OpenFOAM and adapted mesh with prism layers to turbulent numerical simulation with high fidelity as well as provide a guideline on numerical schemes and parameters of OpenFOAM. Reynolds number based on a momentum thickness at inlet and a free-stream velocity was Re_θ=300. Time dependent inflow fields with near-wall turbulent structures were generated by a method of Lund et al. (1998), which was to extract instantaneous velocity fields from an auxiliary simulation with rescaled and recycled velocities at inlet. To ascertain the statistical characteristics of turbulent boundary layer, the mean profiles of streamwise velocity and turbulent intensities obtained from structured and adapted meshes were compared with the previous data.

Electrical conductivity of Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloy foams of various density produced in powder metallurgical method has been measured using two probe electrical conductivity measurement method. Compressive mechanical properties such as elastic modulus and plastic plateau stress of foams were evaluated from electrical conductivity using power law relation and scaling laws of foam properties. Uni-axial compression test was also performed. Experimentally measured elastic modulus and plastic plateau stress were compared with the values evaluated from electrical conductivity. The computed values were in good agreement with the experimental result.

The viscosity of foam metal is necessary to get the pores, but it is difficult to manufacture net-shape foam, because the fluidity decreases by increasing viscosity. In this study, the A356 alloy which has good fluidity and less defect was selected and fabricated to foam metal. To understand about effect of thickening agent on foaming and mechanical properties, quantity of thickening agent was changed. The pore size, porosity and distribution of foam metal were measured by i-solution program. And compression test were performed by UTM. In case of 3.0wt% Ca in thickening agent, it is found that most of foam consist of homogeneous shape, and the growth height had the highest value of 204 mm in the all fabricated foams. The porosity was 93% and compressive strength was 3.1 MPa. In the microstructure, the $Al_2Si_2Ca$ intermetallic compound and Ti were observed. The vickers hardness value rose with increasing viscosity value.

In this work, we observed the changes in mass difference according to Al-foam's amount of Ca contents which depends on the viscosity control of fusion, quality of foamed addition, mixing, temperature tests. These are crucial influencing factors in determining foam-metal's size in the manufacturing process. In order to obtain the specimen, we changed the specific gravity from 0.2 to 0.3 for the study of the light weight, and obtained the optimal values of specific gravity, and then showed the mechanical characteristics of ultra-lightweight metal according to the changing mass. The optimal conditions for aluminum foam is when the addition of Ca content in $1.5wt\%~2.0wt\%$

A number of potential applications of aluminum foams are being identified and renewed interest in these engineering materials is also reflected by several current research projects. One of the key issues for industrial exploitation of aluminum foams is the development of cost-effective manufacturing strategies facilitating, preferably, net shape production of foams with controlled porosity and cell size, and minimized structural imperfection. Especially, melt route to aluminum foam production based on the foaming agents offer attraction of low cost and the potential for good microstructure. The present paper is focused mainly on foaming agents of melt-foam aluminum such as $TiH_2$ or $TiH_2-Al$ mixture. For the purpose of economical manufacturing, we are proposed to hydrogen induced mechanical alloying (HIMA) process. Thermo-physical properties of particles synthesized are compared with conventional methods. Specimens synthesized are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), thermo- gravimetry-differential scanning calorymetry (TG-DSC), pressure-composition-isotherm. (PCI).

공학 및 산업 분야에서는 구조적인 부분들에서 경량 복합 소재가 강과 같은 금속 소재를 대체해 오고 있다. 이러한 복합 소재는 리벳, 용접이나 볼트 및 너트를 이용한 체결 방법을 대신하여 접착제 체결 방법을 적용하고 있다. 복합 소재에 접착제 체결 방법을 적용하기 위해서는 접착계면에 대한 강도 특성 연구가 필수적으로 요구된다. 섬유 강화 플라스틱 복합 소재인 CFRP를 용이하게 가공하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. CFRP와 알루미늄(Al6061), 알루미늄 폼(Al-foam)을 가진 이종 복합 소재로 된 경사진 이중외팔보(TDCB) 시험편들로서 면내 전단과 면외 전단의 하중 조건들하에서 정적 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통하여 이중외팔보들의 파괴 특성과 그 파단 시점을 파악하여 접착계면을 가진 이종 복합 소재 구조물에 관한 내구성을 검토하였다.
