콘크리트는 일반적으로 수회시멘트풀과 골재로 이루어진 이상의 복합체이지만 미시적으로는 수화시멘트풀과 골재, 그리고 천이영역으로 이루어진 삼상의 복합체이다. 수화시멘트풀과 골재 사이에서 형성되는 천이영역은 국부적으로 공극률이 높으므로 콘크리트의 강성과 강도에 많은 영향을 끼친다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 천이영역의 특성을 고려하여 콘크리트의 탄성계수를 추정하기 위해 이원 삼중 내포물 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델에 의한 탄성계수의 추정결과는 실험결과와 비교하여 잘 일치하였으며 제안된 모델은 실험적으로 구하기 힘든 천이영역의 특성을 구하는데 사용될 수 있다.

In this study, the interfacial stresses in RC beams strengthened by externally bonded prestressed GFRP laminate are evaluated using an analytical approach, based on the equilibrium equations and boundary conditions. A comparison of the interfacial stresses obtained from the present analytical model and other existing models is undertaken. Otherwise, a parametric study is conducted to investigate the effects of geometrical and material properties on the variation of interfacial stresses in damaged RC beams strengthened by externally bonded prestressed GFRP laminate. The results obtained indicate that the damage degree has little effect on the maximum shear stress, with a variation less than 5% between the damaged and undamaged RC beams. However, the results also reveal that the prestressing level has a significant effect on the interfacial stresses; hence the damaged RC beam strengthened with an initial prestressing force of 100 kN gives 110% higher maximum shear stress than the damaged RC beam strengthened with an initial prestressing force of 50 kN. The values of shear stress obtained by the analytical approach are approximately equal to 44% of those obtained from the numerical solution, while the interfacial normal stresses predicted by the numerical study are approximately 26% higher than those calculated by the analytical solution.

LSGM(($La_xSr_{1-x})(Ga_yMg_{1-y})O_3$) electrolyte is known to show very serious interfacial reaction with other unit cell components, especially with an anode. Such an interfacial reaction induced the phase instability of constituent component and deterioration of the unit cell performance, which become the most challenging issues in LSGM-based SOFCs. In this study, we fabricated LSGM($La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}Ga_{0.83}Mg_{0.17}O_x$) electrolyte supported-type cell in order to avoid such interfacial problem by lowering the heat-treatment temperature of the electrode fabrication. According to the microstructural and phase analysis, there was no serious interfacial reaction at both electrolyte/anode and electrolyte/cathode interfaces. Moreover, from the electrochemical characterization of the unit cell performance, there was no distinct deterioration of the open cell voltage as well as an internal cell resistance. These results demonstrate the most critical point to be concerned in LSGM-based SOFC is either to find a proper electrode material which will not give any interfacial reaction with LSGM electrolyte or to properly adjust the processing variables for unit cell fabrication, to reduce the interfacial reaction.

An Al film deposited on the Kovar alloy substrate was anodically-bonded to the borosilicate glass, and the bond interfaces was closely investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Al oxide was found to form a layer ~l0 nm thick at the bond interface, and fibrous structure of the same oxide was found to grow epitaxially in the glass from the oxide layer. The fibrous structure grew with the bonding time. The mechanism of the formation of this fibrous structure is proposed on the basis of the migration of Al ions under the electric field. Penetration of Al into glass beyond the interfacial Al oxide was not detected. The comparison of the amount of excess oxygen ions generated in the alkali depletion layer with that incorporated in the Al oxide suggests that the growth of the alkali-ion depletion layer is controlled by the consumption of excess oxygen to form the interfacial Al oxide.

This paper presents a careful theoretical investigation into interfacial stresses in reinforced concrete foundation beam repairing with composite plate. The essential issue in the analysis of reinforced structures with composite materials is to understand the individual behaviour of each material and its interaction with the remaining ones. The present model is based on equilibrium and deformations compatibility requirements in and all parts of the repaired RC foundation beam, i.e., the reinforced concrete foundation beam, the composite plate and the adhesive layer. The theoretical predictions are compared with other existing solutions, By comparisons between the existing solutions and the present new solution enable a clear appreciation of the effects of various parameters such as the geometric characteristics and mechanical properties of the components of the repaired beam, as well as the geotechnical stresses of the soil are considered. This research is helpful for the understanding on mechanical behaviour of the interface and design of the composite-concrete hybrid structures.

The microstructure and mechanical property of the Ni and Ni-Cr porous metal reinforced AC4C matrix composites fabricated by squeeze casting were investigated. In this study Ni, Ni-Cr porous metals which are estimated to be easy to fabricate by squeeze casting are used as strengtheners for composite materials. As a matrix material, Al-7wt.%Si-0.3wt.%Mg(AC4C) has been used. In case of Ni/AC4C and Ni-Cr/AC4C composite, $750^{\circ}C$ melt temperature and minimum 25MPa squeezing pressure are needed to produce sound composite materials. The observation of interfacial reaction zone at various heat treatment condition shows that atsolutionizing temperature of above $520^{\circ}C$, the interfacial reaction zone increases proportionally with heat treatment time and the reaction products formed by interfacial reactions are mainly composed by $Al_{3}Ni$ and $Al_{3}Ni_{2}$ phases.

This paper describes the ohmic contact formation between a TiW film as a contact material deposied by RF magnetron sputter and polycrystalline 3C-SiC films deposied on thermally grown Si wafers. The specific contact resistance (${\rho}_c$) of the TiW contact was measured by using 4he C-TLM. The contact phase and interfacial reaction between TiW and 3C-SiC at high-temperature were also analyzed by XRD and SEM. All of the samples didn't show cracks of the TiW film and any interfacial reaction after annealing. Especially, when the sample was annealed at $800^{\circ}$ for 30min., the lowest contact resistivity of $2.90{\times}10^{-5}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ of was obtained due to the improved interfacial adhesion.

A 3D discrete element model integrating the rough surface contact concept with the flat-joint model is suggested to examine the mechanical characteristics of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in concrete. The essential components of our DEM procedure include the calculation of the actual contact area in an element contact-pair related to the bonded factor using a Gaussian probability distribution of asperity height, as well as the determination of the contact probability-relative displacement form using the least square method for further computing the force-displacement of ITZs. The present formulations are implemented in MUSEN, an open source development environment for discrete element analysis that is optimized for high performance computation. The model's meso-parameters are calibrated by using uniaxial compression and splitting tensile simulations, as well as laboratory tests of concrete from the literature. The present model's DEM predictions accord well with laboratory experimental tests of pull-out concrete specimens published in the literature.

The $H_{EB}$ was investigated for exchange coupling $20\;{\AA}\;Fe/x\;{\AA}\;NiO\;(type-I samples)$, $20\;{\AA}\;Fe/x\;{\AA}$ nonmagnetic layer $(MgO, Ag, Cu)/(500-x{\AA})$ NiO (type-II smaples). In type-I samples, the $H_{EB}$ is long-range coupling when looking from the point of view of the AFM. The $H_{EB}$ consistent with a generalized Meiklejohn-Bean approach. The critical thickness, which $H_{EB}$ is observed, is $130\;{\AA}$. In type-II samples, MgO layer more decouples the thin interfacial NiO from bottom NiO than other nonmagnetic layer. Nd the decoupling of Ag smallest. This means that the Ag layer has strong coupling the thin interfacial NiO with bottom NiO.

A modified direct bonding technique employing a wet chemical deposition of $SiO_2$ film on a wafer surface to be bonded is proposed for the fabrication of Si-$SiO_2$-Si structures. Structural and electrical quality of the bonded wafers is studied. Satisfied insulating properties of interfacial $SiO_2$ layers are demonstrated. Elastic strain caused by surface morphology is investigated. The diminution of strain in the grooved structures is semi-quantitatively interpreted by a model considering the virtual defects distributed over the interfacial region.
