Amorphous carbon (a-C) has excellent wear resistance and, therefore is used as a coating to protect numerous mechanical components to prolong their lifetimes. Among the a-C coatings, diamond-like carbon (DLC) and DLC-containing silicon (Si-DLC) receive extensive attention owing to their enhanced wear resistance and low frictional characteristics. In this study, the friction and wear characteristics of DLC and Si-DLC coatings are analyzed. For comparative analysis, DLC-coated and Si-DLC-coated vanes are utilized with the counterpart of a roller for the friction tests. Since the lubricated mechanical components are generally vulnerable to wear when a lubricant film does not form properly, friction tests are conducted under boundary lubrication conditions to promote wear. A cylinder-on-cylinder type tribometer is used to perform the friction tests with various normal load conditions. After the friction test, a 3D laser confocal microscope is used for quantifying the wear volume to calculate the wear rate of each specimen. Consequently, the DLC-coated specimen shows a lower coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate than the specimen without the coating, while the Si-DLC coating shows a higher COF than the bare specimen. The results of this study are expected to contribute to improving the efficiency and reliability of compressors.

이 논문의 목적은 콘크리트 댐의 내진성능평가 시 현행 설계기준과 평가요령에서 제시하는 감쇠비 값 크기에 대한 적용방안의 적정성을 검토하고 개선안을 제시하는 것이다. 연구결과 동적탄성해석 시 감쇠비의 크기는 지진하중의 크기가 유사하고 감쇠비에 대한 재현성이 검증된 유사댐의 사례를 참조할 필요가 있으며, 동적소성해석 시에는 지진하중의 크기와 상관없이 초기 탄성거동을 고려하여 감쇠비를 낮은값으로 적용하고 비선형 거동 시 이력감쇠가 추가되도록 고려할 필요가 있다. 또한 암반상에 위치한 콘크리트 댐체는 방사감쇠 효과가 미미하므로 방사감쇠를 반영하기 위해 콘크리트 댐체의 감쇠비를 증가시키는 것은 합리적이지 않다. 따라서 콘크리트 댐의 현실적인 내진성능평가를 위해 현행 댐 설계기준과 평가요령에 수록된 감쇠비 관련내용에 대해 개정이 필요하다.

복합재료 구조는 필요한 기계적 성능을 충족하기 위해 서로 다른 적층 각도로 적층하여 설계되었다. 외부 하중을 받는 복합재료 구조물에 대한 발생하는 응력은 위치에 따라 다르지만, 최대 응력을 바탕으로 적층 순서를 결정하는데, 이는 효율적이지 않으며 일반적으로 최적의 설계가 아니다. 최근 이러한 비효율성을 해결하기 위해 구간 조합 복합재료(PIC)가 제안되었다. PIC는 인접한 조각들 사이의 완벽한 결합을 가정하지만, 이것은 매우 이상적이고 달성하기 어렵다. 따라서 경계에서의 중첩은 서로 분리되지 않도록 하기 위해 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 중첩 설계가 PIC 플레이트의 충격 파손 모드에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 속경화 탄소섬유 프리프레그를 이용하여 서로 다른 겹침부 형상 및 절개선 간격을 가지는 시험편을 제작하였으며, ASTM D 7136에 따라 충격시험을 수행하였다. 복합재료 적층판의 충격 파손 형태는 겹침부 설계에 따라 서로 다른 양상을 가졌으며, 이로 인해 충격흡수에너지 및 충격하중곡선의 경향에도 영향을 주었음을 알 수 있었다.

The research investigates experimentally the effect of confinement on structural behavior at the ends of beam-column in reinforced concrete (RC) frames. In the experimental study, five specimens consisting of 1/3-scaled RC frames having single-bay, representing the traditional deficiencies of existing buildings constructed without receiving proper engineering service is investigated. The RC frame specimens were produced to represent most of the existing buildings in Turkey that have damage potential. To decrease the probable damage to the existing buildings exposed to earthquakes, the carbon Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) strengthening technique (fully wrapping) was used on the ends of the RC frame elements to increase the energy dissipation and deformation capacity. The specimens were tested under reversed cyclic lateral loading with constant axial loads. They were constructed satisfying the weak column-strong beam condition and consisting of low-strength concrete, such as compressive strength of 15 MPa. The test results were compared and evaluated considering stiffness, strength, energy dissipation capacity, structural damping, ductility, and damage propagation in detail. Comprehensive investigations of these experimental results reveal that the strengthening of a brittle frame with fully-TRM wrapping with non-anchored was effective in increasing the stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation capacities of RC bare frames. It was also observed that the frame-only-retrofitting with an infill wall is not enough to increase the ductility capacity. In this case, both the frame and infill wall must be retrofitted with TRM composite to increase the stiffness, lateral load carrying, ductility and energy dissipation capacities of RC frames. The presented strengthening method can be an alternative strengthening technique to enhance the seismic performance of existing or moderately damaged RC buildings.

In this study, the effect of two types of aggregates (fly ash aggregate and shale aggregate) on the density, strength, and durability of preplaced lightweight aggregate concrete (PLWAC) was studied. The results showed that the 7 - 28 days strength of concrete prepared with fly ash aggregates (high water absorption rate) significantly increased, which could attribute to the long-term water release of fly ash aggregates by the refined pore structure. In contrast, the strength increase of concrete prepared with shale aggregates (low water absorption rate) is not apparent. Although PLWAC prepared with fly ash aggregates has a lower density and higher strength (56.8 MPa @ 1600 kg/m³), the chloride diffusion coefficient is relatively high, which could attribute to the diffusion paths established by connected porous aggregates and the negative over-curing effect. Compared to the control group, the partial replacement of fly ash aggregates (30%) with asphalt emulsion (20% solid content) coated aggregates can reduce the chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete by 53.6% while increasing the peak load obtained in a three-point bending test by 107.3%, fracture energy by 30.3% and characteristic length by 103.5%. The improvement in concrete performance could be attributed to the reduction in the water absorption rate of aggregates and increased energy absorption by polymer during crack propagation.

무선 스마트 유틸리티 네트워크 통신시스템에서는 비동기 저전력 MAC이 IEEE 802.15.4e에 의해 표준화되어 사용되고 있다. RIT(Receiver Initiated Transmission)라고 불리는 비동기 방식 MAC은 체크인터벌(RIT period)에 따라 지연시간과 전력소모가 크게 영향을 받는 특성이 있다. 체크인터벌 마다 수면에서 깨어나 자신이 수신할 데이터가 있는지 확인함으로써, 수신단 전력 소모는 획기적으로 줄일 수 있지만 송신단에서는 과도한 웨이크업 시퀀스(wakeup sequence)로 전력소모가 발생하는 단점을 가진다. 체크 인터벌을 짧게하여 과도한 웨이크업 시퀀스를 줄이면 너무 빈번한 웨이크업으로 수신단 전력 소모가 많아지게 된다. RIT 비동기식 MAC 기법에서 트래픽 부하와 체크인터벌의 운용에 따른 전력소모 성능을 분석하여 Wi-SUN 구축시 적용코자 한다.

Elliptic-braced simple resisting frame as a new lateral bracing system installed in the middle bay of frame in building facades has been recently introduced. This system not only creates a problem for opening space from the architectural viewpoint but also improves the structural behavior. Despite the researches on the seismic performance of lateral bracing systems, there are few studies performed on the effect of the stiffness parameters on the elastic story drift and calculation of period in simple braced steel frames. To overcome this shortcoming, in this paper, for the first time, an analytical solution is presented for calculating elastic lateral stiffness in a simple steel frame equipped with elliptic brace subjected to lateral load. In addition, for the first time, in this study, a precise formulation has been developed to evaluate the elastic stiffness variation in a steel frame equipped with a two-dimensional single-story single-span elliptic brace using strain energy and Castigliano's theorem. Thus, all the effective factors, including axial and shear loads as well as bending moments of elliptic brace could be considered. At the end of the analysis, the lateral stiffness can be calculated by an improved and innovative relation through the energy method based on the geometrical properties of the employed sections and specification of the used material. Also, an equivalent element of an elliptic brace was presented for the ease of modeling and use in linear designs. Application of the proposed relation have been verified through a variety of examples in OpenSees software. Based on the results, the error percentage between the elastic stiffness derived from the developed equations and the numerical analyses of finite element models was very low and negligible.

In this study, the effects of heat treatment on the nano-scale creep behavior of CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) was investigated through nanoindentation technique. Nanoindentation experiments with a Berkovich indenter were performed on HPT-processed alloy subjected to heat treatment at 450℃, revealing that the hardness of the HPT-processed alloy (HPT sample) significantly increased with the heat treatment time. The heat treatment-induced microstructural change in HPT-processed alloy was analyzed using transmission electron microscopy, which showed the nano-sized Cr-, NiMn-, and FeCo-rich phases were formed in the HPT-processed alloy subjected to 10 hours of heat treatment (HPT+10A sample). To compare the creep behavior of HPT and HPT+10A samples, constant load nanoindentation creep experiments were performed using spherical indentation indenters with two different radii. It was revealed that the predominant mechanism for creep highly depended on the applied stress level. At low stress level, both HPT and HPT+10A samples were dominated by Coble creep. At high stress level, however, the mechanism transformed to dislocation creep for HPT sample, but continued to be Coble creep for HPT+10A sample, leading to higher creep resistance in the HPT+10A sample.

미소 드랍릿 시편을 이용한 탄소섬유와 에폭시 수지 사이의 계면전단강도에 대해 시험분석하였다. 또한 드랍릿 모델, 원형 단면 모델, 인발모델의 3종류의 유한요소해석을 통해 섬유/수지간의 응력분포를 계산하였다. 본 연구결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 미소드랍릿 시험의 경우는 인발시험보다 섬유/수지의 계면에서 큰 응력집중이 나타났으며 계면박리가 낮은 하중수준에서도 발생하기 용이함을 알수 있었다. (2) 미소드랍릿시험에서 높은 계면강도를 보였는데, 이는 미소드랍릿의 형상과 사이즈, 바이스팁과 접촉하는 부위의 응력집중효과를 함께 받았기 때문으로 해석되었다.
