Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are green energy conversion devices, for which commercial markets have been established, owing to their application in fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). Development of cathode electrocatalysts, replacing commercial Pt/C, plays a crucial role in factors such as cost reduction, high performance, and durability in FCVs. PtNi octahedral catalysts are promising for oxygen reduction reactions owing to their significantly higher mass activity (10-15 times) than that of Pt/C; however, their application in membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) is challenged by their low stability. To overcome this durability issue, various approaches, such as third-metal doping, composition control, halide treatment, formation of a Pt layer, annealing treatment, and size control, have been explored and have shown promising improvements in stability in rotating disk electrode (RDE) testing. In this review, we aimed to compare the features of each strategy in terms of enhancing stability by introducing a stability improvement factor for a direct and reasonable comparison. The limitations of each strategy for enhancing stability of PtNi octahedral are also described. This review can serve as a valuable guide for the development of strategies to enhance the durability of octahedral PtNi.

본 연구에서는 염화물이 함유된 동결수에 의한 콘크리트의 내동해성을 검토하기 위하여 동결융해 및 표면스케일링 저항성을 평가하고자 하였으며, 이를 위한 배합으로서 물결합재비는 0.37, 0.42, 0.47의 3수준, 결합재 방식은 일반 OPC 콘크리트, 고로슬래그 미분말 50%의 2성분계 콘크리트 및 플라이애시 15%와 고로슬래그 미분말 35%의 3성분계 콘크리트로 설정하였다. 그 결과, 고로슬래그 미분말 50% 및 플라이애시 15%와 고로슬래그 미분말 35%의 혼합 시멘트계 콘크리트의 경우 일반 OPC 콘크리트에 비하여 동결융해 및 표면스케일링 저항성이 상대적으로 우수하게 나타났으며, 이를 통해 내구성 저하가 우려되는 해양 환경 하에서 비래염분 및 비말 등의 해수의 작용에 의한 콘크리트의 내구성 저하현상을 억제하기 위한 방안으로서 슬래그의 활용이 유효함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Litho printing ink vehicles based on rosin modified phenolic are faster drying, have better durability, are harder and glosser and have greater resistance to water than ones based on ester gums. Ink-Water balance and rheological properties are important in litho printing process. These physical properties is concerned with molecular weight of Resin to use vehicle. So this paper was studied about the effects of changing molecular weight of Rosin modified phenolic on surface tension, viscosity, pseudoplasticity and printablility of Litho Inks. The results were as follows. 1) The surface tension of model inks depended on the molecular weight of the resin : Dispersion componnent of ink increase but non dispersion component decrease as molecular weight of Resin increase. 2) Water pick-up of litho ink is more fast balance, using low molecular weight of Resin. 3) Viscosity, Yield value and Newtonian value of model inks increase as molecular weight of Resin increase. 4) The litho ink prepared with the modified phenolic of which molecular weight is about 20000 showed the highest printing density and gloss.

An optimization method of patch shape was developed in this study, in order to improve repair of cracked plates. It aimed to minimize three objectives: stress intensity factor, patch volume and shear stresses in the adhesive film. The choice of these objectives ensures improving crack repair, gaining mass and enhancing the adhesion durability between the fractured plate and the composite patch. This was a multi-objective optimization combined with Finite elements calculations to find out the best distribution of patch height with respect to its width. The implementation of the method identified families of optimal shapes with specific geometric features around the crack tip and at the horizontal end of the patch. Considerable mass gain was achieved while improving the repair efficiency and keeping the adhesive shear stress at low levels.

Air voids in hardened concrete have an important influence on concrete durability such as resistance of freezing and thawing, permeability and surface scaling resistance. Linear traverse method and point count method in ASTM standard method have been widely used to estimate the air void system in hardened concrete. However, these methods are not used at present time, because they are is exhausted much time and effort. In previous study, air voids system of concrete was estimated by spacing factor. The purpose of this study organizes image analysis method by analyzing air contents, air voids distributions by diameters, air voids system as well as spacing factors after hardened concrete. The experimental variables institute of depth of specimen(top, middle, bottom), air contents(AE contents 0, 0.01, 0.03%).

Factorial design method is applied to investigate the effects of various factors simultaneously rather than to conduct a series of single-factor experiment. As the results, frost resistance of the concrete specimens, in both W/C ratio of 0.28 and 0.35, was highly affected by the type of coarse aggregate that is, andesite produced more durable concrete than the limestone. Durability factor of the specimens, with W/C ratio of 0.28, which were demolded after I day and transferred to the curing room was higher than those demolded after 2 days. This stated the efficiency of the high early curing in high strength concrete.

It is hard for central and local government, constructor to decide an appropriate system any city, because there are many factors that must considered. So, we considered various factor such as capability, accessibility, usability, durability, serviceability, availability, reliability, dependability, maintainability, etc that used previous research and feasibility study. As more important factors, they should take into consideration prices, a possibility on whether or not technology is applicable for repairing or keeping the system, the localization rate, and all kinds of contracts, when deciding a system. We put in order factors and grouping for interested party. This article present almost factors that be used to decide light railway system, maybe these factor consideration will be helpful for system decider.

Bonding strength of reinforcing material has been recognized to be the most important factor which determines the strengthening effect and the durability of repair work. The properties of bonding layers affects the stress distribution at the end of the plate, therefore the behavior of bonding layer has to be investigated. In this study, the stress distribution at the end of the bonded plate has been tested and compared with Roberts' analysis. Shear stress and vertical normal stress at the end of strengtening plate are analysized and the effedts of bonding layer thickness, plate thickness and plate length on the bonding behavior are tested. The test results showed that thickness is one of the most important factor, which is the thinner the thickness, the smaller the maximum stress.

Allowable stacking duration of the corrugated fiberboard boxes being widely used for packaging fruits and vegetables was analyzed by the creep behavior and the cumulative load correction factor for the boxes. The stacking boxes were assumed to be stored at a nearly constant temperature and relative humidity condition. When the stacking duration was short period, the stacking height determined by two methods showed a little difference between them, but almost no difference was shown as the stacking duration was longer. Allowable stacking duration was rapidly decreased with the increase of static load applied on the stacking boxes, and allowable stacking duration of Box A was estimated the longer than that of Box B. A model of allowable stacking duration for the corrugated fiberboard box was developed as a function of the stacking load and the ambient relative humidity.

Low speed vehicle(LSV), golf carts have unique requirements to differential gear design. For double axle torque LSV differential loading conditions were determined with the help of analytical model and ANSYS finite element analysis. With stress safety factor 3.15, fatigue safety factor 1.08 and fatigue life 106 cycle ring gear teeth strength analysis is performed and structure design optimized. This allows reducing overall cost of differential unit.
