The necessity for environment-friendly material development has emerged in the recent automotive field due to stricter regulations on fuel economy and environmental concerns. Accordingly, the automotive industry is paying attention to carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) material with high strength and stiffness properties while the lightweight. In this study, we determine a shape of lower control arm (LCA) for maximizing the strength and stiffness by optimizing the thickness of each layer when the stacking angle is fixed due to the CFRP manufacturing problems. Composite materials are laminated in the order of $0^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, and $-45^{\circ}$ with a symmetrical structure. For the approximate optimal design, we apply a sequential two-point diagonal quadratic approximate optimization (STDQAO) and use a process integrated design optimization (PIDO) code for this purpose. Based on the physical properties calculated within a predetermined range of laminate thickness, we perform the FEM analysis and verify whether it satisfies the load and stiffness conditions or not. These processes are repeated for successive improved objective function. Optimized CFRP LCA has the equivalent stiffness and strength with light weight structure when compared to conventional aluminum design.

In this paper, a new method based on the Sander theory is developed for SWCNTs to predict the vibrational behavior of length and ratio of thickness-to-radius according to various end conditions. The motion equation for this system is developed using Rayleigh-Ritz's method. The proposed model shows the vibration frequencies of armchair (5, 5), (7, 7), (9, 9), zigzag (12, 0), (14, 0), (19, 0) and chiral (8, 3), (10, 2), (14, 5) under different support conditions namely; SS-SS, C-F, C-C, and C-SS. The solutions of frequency equations have been given for different boundary condition, which have been given in several graphs. Several parameters of nanotubes with characteristic frequencies are given and vary continuously in length and ratio of thickness-to-radius. It has been illustrated that an enhancing the length of SWCNTs results in decreasing of the frequency range. It was demonstrated by increasing of the height-to-radius ratio of CNTs, the fundamental natural frequency would increase. Moreover, effects of length and ratio of height-to-radius with different boundary conditions have been investigated in detail. It was found that the fundamental frequencies of C-F are always lower than that of other conditions, respectively. In addition, the existence of boundary conditions has a significant impact on the vibration of SWCNTs. To generate the fundamental natural frequencies of SWCNTs, computer software MATLAB engaged. The numerical results are validated with existing open text. Since the percentage of error is negligible, the model has been concluded as valid.

본 연구의 목적은 탄소섬유쉬트로 보강된 시험체의 주요 파괴모드인 계면모드인 계면박리 모드에 의한 부재의 파괴를 규명하는 것이다. 탄소섬유쉬트로 보강된 손상된 보시험체의 계면박리 모드를 해석하기 위하여 선형탄성 파괴역학(LEFM)의 컴플라이언스법과 유한요소법을 사용하여 계면파괴 역학변수인 에너지해방율(strain energy release rate, G)을 고찰하였다. 손상된 단순 보시험체의 해석결과, 최대 에너지해방율($G_{max}$)은 에폭시 접착두께에 관계없이 바깥 휨균열에서 시작된 계면 전단 균열 길이가 18mm 부근에서 발생하였다. 보강보의 강도 해석결과, 극한강도 설계법에 따른 단면의 공칭 휨 강도에 대한 계면박리에 의해 부재가 파괴되는 것으로 해석되었다. 또한 적용된 접착두께 1mm~3mm는 에너지해방율에 거의 영향을 미치지 않아 계면박리의 주요 인자가 아닌 것으로 나타났다.

석유를 기반으로 한 연료는 가까운 미래에 고갈될 것이다. 디메틸에테르(Di-methyl Ether, DME)는 청정에너지이며 천연가스,석탄 및 바이오매스 등으로 생산이 가능하다.DME는 분자구조 내에 탄소-탄소 결합이 없는 함산소 연료로 연소시 그을음과 황산화물을 발생하지 않으며, 물리적 특성이 액화석유가스(Liquified Petroleum Gas, LPG)와 매우 유사하여 LPG 유통인프라를 그대로 활용할 수 있다. DME는 세탄값이 55~60 정도로 높아 디젤 자동차용 연료로도 활용이 가능하다.차세대 청정연료로 혹은 차세대 화학공업 원료물질로 전력생산,디젤 연료, 가정용 연료 및 연료전지 등에 사용이 가능하다.본 총설에서는DME의 특성, 표준화, 국내외의 기술개발현황, 대체연료로서의 활용에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

C/SiC composites were prepared by boron nitride (BN)-assisted liquid silicon infiltration (LSI), and their anti-oxidation and mechanical properties were investigated. The microstructures, bulk densities, and porosities of the C/SiC composites demonstrated that the infiltration of liquid silicon into the composites improved them, because the layered-structure BN worked as a lubricant. Increasing the amount of BN improved the anti-oxidation of the prepared C/SiC composites. This synergistic effect was induced by the assistance of BN in the LSI. More thermally stable SiC was formed in the composite, and fewer pores were formed in the composite, which reduced inward oxygen diffusion. The mechanical strength of the composite increased up to the addition of 3% BN and decreased thereafter due to increased brittleness from the presence of more SiC in the composite. Based on the anti-oxidation and mechanical properties of the prepared composites, we concluded that improved anti-oxidation of C/SiC composites can be achieved through BN-assisted LSI, although there may be some degradation of the mechanical properties. The desired anti-oxidation and mechanical properties of the composite can be achieved by optimizing the BN-assisted LSI conditions.

This project sought to conduct an economic feasibility study regarding the commercial production of bio-hydrogen by the marine hyperthermophilic archaeon, Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 using carbon monoxide-containing industrial off-gas. We carried out the economic evaluation of the bio-hydrogen production process using the raw material of steel mill by-product gas. The process parameter was as follows: $H_2$ production rate was 5.6 L/L/h; the conversion of carbon monoxide was 60.7%. This project established an evaluation criterion for about 10,000 tonne/year. Inflation factors were considered as 3%. The operating costs were recalculated based on prices in 2014. The total investment required for development was covered 30% by capital and 70% by a loan. The operation cost for the 0.5-year test and integration, and the cost for the first three months in the 50% production period were considered as the working capital in the cost estimation. The costs required for the rental of office space, facilities, and other related costs from the construction through to full-scale production periods were considered as continuing expenses. Materials, energy, waste disposal and other charges were considered as the operating cost of the development system. Depreciation, tax, maintenance and repair, insurance, labor, interest rate charges, general and administrative costs, lubrication and miscellaneous expenses were also calculated. The hydrogen price was set at US$ 4.15/kg for the economic evaluation. As a result, the process was considered to be economical with the payback period of 6.3 years, NPV of 18 billion Won and IRR of 26.7%.

재는 가축분을 중성화 시키며 토양에 산포하면 악취를 저감시키는 역할을 하며 하천에서 P의 양을 감소시킬 수 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 재의 특성과 이들의 첨가가 가져올 환경적인 이용에 관해서 언급하였다. 재는 아직도 물리적 화학적으로 일정한 정의가 없다 (석탄재-CFA, 목재재-WA, 왕겨재-RHA). 이들 재를 형성하고 있는 조건과 조성에 따라 산도는 6.0이하 그리고 12.5이상까지 이른다. CFA를 분중에 첨가하면 분중에 녹아있는 P의 양이 감소되어 토양에 산포하면 수질을 향상시킨다. WA는 WA 자체에 많은 탄소 원자를 갖고 있기 때문에 분에서 발생하는 냄새를 제거할 수 있다. RHA는 재중에 $20{\sim}60%$ 가량이 실리카이다. 현재까지 CFA, WA 그리고 RHA를 토양에 산포하여 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 많이 되어 있으므로 앞으로 가축분에 첨가하면 분중의 P과 악취를 낮출 수 있는 연구가 필요하다.

본 연구에서는 섬유등급, 배향각 및 적층방법을 달리하여 제조한 탄소섬유강화 복합재료의 제조변수에 따른 전자파 차폐 특성에 관하여 고찰하였다. 그 결과, 탄소섬유강화 복합재료의 전자파 차폐효과는 섬유의 배향각도에 크게 좌우되었다. 특히 0$^{\circ}$의 배향각에서는 섬유의 등급에 따른 영향을 나타내었으며, 동일한 탄소섬유라 할지라도 배열방향에 따른 전기적 성질의 변화, 즉 전기적 이방성이 클수록 차폐효과는 커졌다. 각각의 적층방법에 따라 제조된 모든 시편은 83~98%의 차폐효과를 나타내었으나, 대칭구조와 비대칭구조에서는 적층각도가 커짐에 따라 차폐효과가 소폭 감소하였다. 그러나 반복구조에서는 위의 두 가지 구조와는 다른 경향을 나타내었으며, 특히 90$^{\circ}$ 반복구조의 경우 측정 주파수 전 영역에 걸쳐 90% 이상의 차폐력을 나타내었다.

Nanotechnology is the applied science which develops new materials and systems sized within 1 to 100 nanometer, and improves their physical, chemical, and biological characteristics by manipulating on an atomic and molecular scale. This nanotechnology has been applied to wide spectrum of industries resulting in production of various nanoparticles. It is expected that more nanoparticles will be generated and enter to natural water bodies, imposing great threat to potable water resources. However their toxicity and treatment options have not been throughly investigated, despite the significant growth of nanotechnology-based industries. The objective of this study is to provide fundamental information for the management of nanoparticles in water supply systems through extensive literature survey. More specifically, two types of nanoparticles are selected to be a potential problem for drinking water treatment. They are carbon nanoparticles such as carbon nanotube and fullerene, and metal nanoparticles including silver, gold, silica and titanium oxide. In this study, basic characteristics and toxicity of these nanoparticles were first investigated systematically. Their monitoring techniques and treatment efficiencies in conventional water treatment plants were also studied to examine our capability to mitigate the risk associated with nanoparticles. This study suggests that the technologies monitoring nanopartilces need to be greatly improved in water supply systems, and more advanced water treatment processes should be adopted for better control of these nanoparticles.

전기저항 측정법을 이용하여 전도성을 띄는 소재는 손상예측이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 차량용 소재로 이용하는 폴리프로필렌(PP)를 이용할 때 재료 내부에 발생될 손상 평가법을 고안하였다. PP 내부에 전도성을 부여하기 위해 탄소나노튜브(CNT)를 0.5 wt% 삽입하여 CNT/PP 복합재료를 제조하였다. 손상 평가를 하기 위해 시편 내부에 구리선을 삽입하여 가로와 세로, 대각선 구간을 설정하여 측정하였다. 시편의 모형은 $20^{\circ}$ 휘어진 시편을 사용하였다. 동적 압축 실험에 따른 전기저항 측정을 통해 구간별로 전기저항 변화도를 분석하였다. 동적 압축 실험에 따른 구간별 전기저항 변화도의 신호는 재료 내부에 전가된 응력을 나타내는 신호이다. 전기저항 측정 구간에서 전기저항 변화도가 높은 경우는 미세 손상이 발생되었음을 의미한다. 전기저항 측정법을 이용한 동적 압축 실험에 따른 예상 손상부위와 실제 파괴 실험을 통해 본 평가 방법을 이용하여 재료 내부 미세 손상을 예측할 수 있는 방법임을 확인하였다.
