  • The residual stress distribution in a unidirectional graphite/epoxy laminate induced during the fabrication process is investigated at the microstress level within the scope of linear viscoelasticity. To estimate the residual stresses, the fabrication process is divided into polymerization phase and cool-down phase, and strength of materials approach is employed. Large residual stresses are not generated during polymerization phase because the relaxation modulus is relatively small due to the relaxation ability at this temperature level. The residual stresses increase remarkably during cool-down process. The magnitude of final residual stress is about 80% of the ultimate strength of the matrix material at room temperature. This suggests that the residual stress can have a significant effect on the performance of composite structure.

  • The hold-down spring forces of Kori nuclear fuels were measured for seven fuel assemblies having 1 to 4 cycles of irradiation histories in the Kori Unit-1 and -2 reactor. The fuel assemblies examined had burnup from 17 to 38 GWD/MTU and the examination was conducted in KAERI PIEF spent fuel storage pool with the newly developed underwater hold-down suing force measuring device. The measurement was made within the elastic deformation ranges and the trends of hold-down spring force relaxation behavour were examined.

  • Combined study of in-situ stress measurements and atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed drastic stress relaxation in the CoCrPt and PS(styrene)-PVP(vinyl pyridine) polymer hybrid structure that was closely related to the growth structure of the film. We have observed not only no large initial growth stress at the initial stages of film growth but also twice smaller stress in magnitude with opposite sign in the CoCrPt/PS-PVP/Si sample. The microstructural studies using AFM at the various film growth stages revealed that the film growth structure plays an important role in the stress relaxation mechanism of CoCrPt films on a corrugated polymer surface.

  • 프레팅마모 기인 연료봉 손상을 방지할 수 있는 노내 연료봉 지지조건은 잔여 지지격자스프링 변위량 또는 연료봉 /지지격자 갭에 의해 평가될 수 있다. 핵연료 설계 인자들이 프레팅마모 손상에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 연소도의 함수로서 노내 연료봉 지지조건을 모사할 수 있는 방법론을 사용하여 GRID-FORCE프로그램을 개발하였다. 이 프로그램에서는 노내 연료봉 지지조건에 영향을 주는 주요 인자로서 피복관 크립, 초기 스프링 변위, 초기 스프링힘 그리고 스프링힘 조사이완이 고려된다. 이 주요 인자들에 대한 민감도 분석 결과, 초기 스프링 변위, 스프링힘 조사이완, 피복관 크립 순으로 노내 연료봉 지지조건에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이 프로그램을 실제 노내에서 발생한 프레팅마모 기인 연료봉 손상에 적용한 결과를 토대로 판단해 볼 때 이 프로그램을 새로 개발된 피복관 재질 및 /또는 새로 개발된 지지격자 설계가 프레팅마모 기인 연료봉 손상을 방지할 수 있는 설계여유도를 효과적으로 평가할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

  • 질칼로이-4에 있어서 flow stress strain rate 의존성을 냉간가공 및 소둔된 시편에 대해 20$0^{\circ}C$-45$0^{\circ}C$ 온도 구간에서 응력이완 실험으로 조사하였다. 전체 실험온도에서 In-3-ln i 관계식은 $10^{-5}$-$10^{-3}$ sec$^{-1}$ strain rate의 구간에 걸쳐 선형관계를 보였다. 냉간 가공된 질칼로이 -4의 strain rate sensitivity, m값은 30$0^{\circ}C$에서 최소값을 보인 반면, 소둔된 시편의 경우 30$0^{\circ}C$와 45$0^{\circ}C$에서 최소값들을 보였다. 최소값의 m이 나타나는 온도는 가공시효값이 극대값을 보이는 온도와 일치한다는 사실이 확인되었다. m값의 감소는 활동자유전위들이 산소원자에 의해 pinning된 결과로 유발되는 가공 시효와 관련된 것으로 고려된다. 그리고 소둔된 시편이 45$0^{\circ}C$에서 가지는 최소 m값은 철 원자들로 인한 가공 시효에서 기인된 것으로 생각된다.

  • Nanofishing enabled us to stretch a single polymer chain with picking it at its two modified termini using atomic force microscope (AFM). Stress-strain curves obtained to date had been the result on slow pulling events and therefore observed phenomena had been interpreted as quasi-static responses. In this study, we extended the capability of nanofishing to the phenomena far from equilibrium state by giving much faster pulling speeds. We could observe a momental increase entanglement and a successive stress relaxation.

  • Investigation of the protein-protein interaction mode at atomic resolution is essential for understanding on the underlying functional mechanisms of proteins as well as for discovering druggable compounds blocking deleteriou interprotein interactions. Solution NMR spectroscopy provides accurate and precise information on intermolecular interactions even for weak and transient interactions, and it is also markedly useful for examining the change in the conformation and dynamics of target proteins upon binding events. In this mini-review, we comprehensively describe three unique and powerful methods of solution NMR spectroscopy, paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE), pseudo-contact shift (PCS), and residual dipolar coupling (RDC), for the study on protein-protein interactions.

  • The present work was aimed to show the possibility of using hydrogel (acrylic/boric acid) for evaluation of the neutron radiation shielding. The influence of acrylic acid concentration, different gamma doses and relative contents of boric acid were studied. The physical properties and the thermomechanical stability of the studied samples were investigated. The shielding property of the composite for neutron was tested by Pu-Be neutron source (5 Ci) under room temperature. The neutron fluence rates and gamma fluxes were measured using a stilbene organic scintillator. The macroscopic effective removal cross-section ΣR (cm-1) of fast neutrons and total attenuation coefficient μ (cm-1) of gamma rays has been studied experimentally. The transmission parameters, the relaxation length (??) and the half-value layer (HVL) were obtained. The obtained results indicated that the addition of boric acid to acrylic acid tends to increase the macroscopic effective removal cross-section ΣR (cm-1) to 0.141 compared to 0.094 of ordinary concrete.

  • A computer simulation code of UV preionized discharge KrF laser is developed, including time dependent circuit equations, boltzmann equations, and plasma kinetic equations for various atomic and molecular species. Rate constants for electron collision processes are calculated with a boltzmann equations as a function of E/N. In this study, we studied mainly the $KrF^*$ formation process, relaxation process, and the 248nm absorption process as a function of charging voltage.
