Because of its high performance and accuracy, electron beam welding has an important role in industrial applications such as semi-conductor and LCD manufactures. Since its operation has been done in a vacuum room, it is very difficult to check out their weldability as well as the correct welding area of the specimen. In this study, a measurement system of the electron beam welding has been developed based on the 3-axis LVDT controlled table. In addition, the algorithm to tracking the welding line has been developed. Welded regions were measured by using an A-scan ultrasonic sensor only. Weldability of the aluminum specimen has been tested by newly developed measuring system. The results are compared with those by using an C-scan ultrasonic sensor, which show good agreements with each other.

Theoretical and experimental free vibration characteristics of cantilevered laminated composite beams with single or multiple transverse non-propagating open cracks are investigated. The presence of intrinsic cracks in beams modifies the flexibility and in turn free vibration characteristics of the structures, and the existence of the multiple cracks in an anisotropic composite beam affects the free vibration characteristics in a more complex fashion compared with the beam with a single crack. Also the experimental results are well coincide with the numerical results in the decrease of natural frequencies and the transformation of mode shapes because of intrinsic cracks in the composite or aluminum beams. It is revealed that non-destructive crack detection(NDT) or vibration based inspection(VBI) is possible by analyzing the free vibration responses of cracked composite beams.

본 연구에서는 실리콘 기판위의 형성된 AAO (Anodic Aluminum Oxide)의 barrier layer를 $Cl_2/BCl_3$ gas mixture에서 Neutral Beam Etching (NBE)과 Ion Beam Etching (IBE)로 각각 식각한 후 그 결과를 비교하였다. 이온빔의 경우 나노사이즈의 AAO pore의 charging에 의해 pore 아래쪽의 위치한 barrier layer를 어떤 식각조건에서도 제거하지 못하였다. 하지만, charging effect가 없고, 높은 중성화율을 나타내는 low angle forward reflected 방식의 neutral beam etching (NBE)에서는 $BCl_3$-rich $Cl_2/BCl_3$ gas mixture인 식각조건에서 AAO pore에 휘발성 $BO_xCl_y$를 형성하면서 barrier layer를 제거할 수 있었다.

In the present study, active control of a smart beam under forced vibration is analyzed. The aluminum smart beam is composed of two piezoelectric patches and strain gauge. One of the piezoelectric patches is used as controlling actuator while the other piezoelectric patch is used as vibration generating shaker. The smart beam is harmonically excited by the piezoelectric shaker at its fundamental frequency. The strain gauge is utilized to sense the vibration level. Active vibration reduction under harmonic excitation is achieved using both strain and displacement feedback control. Control actions, the finite element (FE) modeling and analyses are directly carried out by using ANSYS parametric design language (APDL). Experimental applications are performed with LabVIEW. Dynamic behavior at the tip of the beam is evaluated for the uncontrolled and controlled responses. The simulation and experimental results are compared. Good agreement is observed between simulation and experimental results under harmonic excitation.

양극산화(anodization)는 금속을 전기화학적으로 산화시켜 금속산화물로 만드는 기술로서 최근 다양한 크기의 나노 구조를 제조하는 기술로 각광받고 있으며, 이러한 기술에 의하여 얻어지는 anodic aluminum oxide(AAO)는 magnetic data storage, optoelectronic device, sensor에 적용될 수 있는 nano device 뿐만 아니라 nanostructure를 제조하기 위한 template 및 mask로써 최근 광범위 하게 연구되고 있다. 또한, AAO는 Al2O3의 단단한 구조를 가진 무기재료이므로 solid mask로써 다른 porous materials 보다 뛰어난 특성을 갖고 있다. 또한 electron-beam lithography 및 block co-polymer 에 의한 patterning 과 비교하여 매우 경제적이며, 재현성이 우수할 뿐만 아니라 대면적에서 나노 구조의 크기 및 형상제어가 비교적 쉽기 때문에 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나, AAO 형성 시 생기게 되는 반구형 모양의 barrier layer는 물질(substance)과 기판과의 direct physical and electrical contact을 방해하기 때문에 해결해야 할 가장 큰 문제점 중 하나로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실리콘 기판위의 형성된 AAO의 barrier layer를 Cl/BCl3 gas mixture에서 Neutral Beam Etching (NBE)과 Ion Beam Etching (IBE) 로 각각 식각한 후 그 결과와 비교하였다. NBE와 IBE 모두 Cl2/BCl3 gas mixture에서 BCl3 gas의 첨가량이 60% 일 경우 etch rate이 가장 높게 나타났고, optical emission spectroscopy (OES)로 Cl2/BCl3 플라즈마 내의 Cl radical density와 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)로 AAO 표면 위를 관찰한 결과 휘발성 BOxCly의 형성이 AAO 식각에 크게 관여함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한, NBE와 IBE 실험한 다양한 Cl2/BCl3 gas mixture ratio 에서 AAO가 식각이 되지만, 이온빔의 경우 나노사이즈의 AAO pore의 charging에 의해 pore 아래쪽의 위치한 barrier layer를 어떤 식각조건에서도 제거하지 못하였다. 하지만, NBE에서는 BCl3-rich Cl2/BCl3 gas mixture인 식각조건에서 AAO pore에 휘발성 BOxCly를 형성하면서 barrier layer를 제거할 수 있었다.

This paper presents fabrication method of nano-structured PMMA substrates as well as evaluations of their optical transmittance. For anti-reflective surface, surface coating method had been conventionally used. However, it requires high cost, complicated process and post-processing times. In this study, we suggested the fabrication method of anti-reflective surface by the hot embossing process. Using the nano patterned master fabricated by anodic aluminum oxidation process. Anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) is widely used as templates or a molds for various applications such as carbon nano tube (CNT), nano rod and nano dots. Anodic aluminum oxidation process provides highly ordered regular nano-structures on the large area, while conventional pattering methods such as E-beam and FIB can fabricate arbitrary nano-structures on small area. We fabricated a porous alumina hole array with various inter-pore distance and pore diameter. In order to replicate nano-structures using alumina nano hole array patterns, we have carried out hot-embossing process with PMMA substrates. Finally the nano-structured PMMA substrates were fabricated and their optical transmittances were measured in order to evaluate the charateristivs of anti-reflection. Anti-reflective structure can be applied to various displays and automobile components.

In this paper, yield stress, tangent modulus and failure strain were varied to ascertain the influence of impact response such as impact force histories and residual energy. And the buckling behavior of FML(Fiber Metal Laminates) were analyzed using numerical method. A number of analyses on FML and aluminum panel were conducted for shear and compression loading to compare the capability of stability. And to evaluate the static performance, static analysis has performed for box beam structure. Low-velocity impact analysis has performed on FML made of aluminum 2024 sheet and glass/epoxy prepreg layers. And the buckling and static performance of FML have been compared to aluminum using the analysis results. For the comparison of structural performance, similar analyses have been carried out on monolithic aluminum 2024 sheets of equivalent weight.

AAO(Anodic Aluminum Oxidation) method has been known that it is practically useful for the fabrication of nano-structures and makes it possible to fabricate the highly ordered nano masters on large surface and even on the 2.5 or 3D surface at low cost comparing to the expensive e-beam lithography or the conventional silicon processing. In this study, by using the multi-step anodizing and etching processes, highly ordered nano patterned master with concave shapes was fabricated. By varying the processing parameters, such as initial matter and chemical conditions; electrical and thermal conditions; time scheduling; and so on, the size and the pitch of the nano pattern can be controlled. Consequently, various alumina/aluminum nano structures can be easily available in any size and shape by optimized anodic oxidation in various aqueous acids. In order to replicate nano patterned master, the resulting good filled uniform nano molded structure through electro-forming process shows the validity of the fabricated nano pattern masters.

Bending collapse of light-weight square tubes used for vehicle structure components is a dominant failure mode in oblique collision and rollover of vehicles. In this paper bending performances of aluminum-GFRP hybrid tube beams were evaluated in relation with bending deformation behavior and energy absorption characteristics. Aluminum/GFRP hybrid tube beams fabricated by inserting adhesive film between prepreg and metal layer were used in the bending test. Failure mechanisms of hybrid tubes under a bending load were experimentally investigated to analyze the bending performance as a function of ply orientation and composite layer thickness. Ultimate bending moments and energy absorption capacity of hybrid tube beams were obtained from the measured load-displacement corves. It was found that aluminum/GFRP hybrid tubes could be converted to rather stable collapse mode showing excellent energy absorption capacity in comparison to the pure aluminum tube beams. In particular, the hybrid tube beam with $[0^{\circ}/90^{\circ}]s$ composite layer showed a large improvement by about 78% in energy absorption capacity and by 29% in specific energy absorption.
