A $Li_2O-2SiO_2$ ($LS_2$) glass was investigated as a lithium-ion conducting oxide glass, which is applicable to a fast ionic conductor even at low temperature due to its high mechanical strength and chemical stability. The $Li_2O-2SiO_2$ glass is likely to be broken into small pieces when quenched; thus, it is difficult to fabricate a specifically sized sample. The production of properly sized glass samples is necessary for device applications. In this study, we applied spark plasma sintering (SPS) to fabricate $LS_2$ glass samples which have a particular size as well as high transparency. The sintered samples, $15mm\phi{\times}2mmT$ in size, ($LS_2$-s) were produced by SPS between $480^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$ at 45MPa for 3~5mim, after which the thermal and dielectric properties of the $LS_2$-s samples were compared with those of quenched glass ($LS_2$-q) samples. Thermal behavior, crystalline structure, and electrical conductivity of both samples were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and an impedance/gain-phase analyzer, respectively. The results showed that the $LS_2$-s had an amorphous structure, like the $LS_2$-q sample, and that both samples took on the lithium disilicate structure after the heat treatment at $800^{\circ}C$. We observed similar dielectric peaks in both of the samples between room temperature and $700^{\circ}C$. The DC activation energies of the $LS_2$-q and $LS_2$-s samples were $0.48{\pm}0.05eV$ and $0.66{\pm}0.04eV$, while the AC activation energies were $0.48{\pm}0.05eV$ and $0.68{\pm}0.04eV$, respectively.

불포화폴리에스터/폴리비닐아세테이트 semi-IPN의 경화과정 중 경화속도와 상분리 확산속도의 상호관계 속에서 형성되는 상분리 모폴로지를 광산란 및 열분석 장치를 이용하여 연구하였다. 열경화성 고분자의 경화과정 중 열가소성 고분자의 확산에 기인한 물성의 변화를 측정하였고, 상분리를 수반하는 경화과정에서의 활성화에너지의 변화를 Flynn-Wall method를 이용하여 구하였다. 반응에 의하여 나타나는 상분리현상은 경화과정 중 다양한 상분리 거동을 나타내게 되는데, 폴리비닐아세테이트가 10 wt%일 경우에는 반응도중에 상분리가 일어나지 않고 냉각 후 상온에서 nucleation & growth 거동과 유사한 형태로 상분리가 발생하였고, 11.65 wt% 이상에서는 반응도중 spinodal decomposition으로 사료되는 상분리가 발생하였다. 또한 상분리현상이 경화속도에 영향을 미친 것을 활성화에너지의 변화거동으로부터 확인하였으며, 온도변화에 따라 총산란량을 측정하였고 이로부터 확산에 의한 상분리 속도 R(${\beta}_m$)를 비교하였다.

Purpose: This study (a) investigated the effect of microwave power intensity and sample thickness on microwave drying characteristics of radish strips, and (b) determined the best-fit drying model for describing experimental drying data, effective moisture diffusivity ($D_{eff}$), and activation energy ($E_a$) for all drying conditions. Methods: A domestic microwave oven was modified for microwave drying and equipped with a small fan installed on the left upper side for removing water vapor during the drying process. Radishes were cut into two fixed-size strip shapes (6 and 9 mm in thickness). For drying experiments, the applied microwave power intensities ranged from 180 to 630 W at intervals of 90 W. Six drying models were evaluated to delineate the experimental drying curves of both radish strip samples. The effective moisture diffusivity ($D_{eff}$) was determined from Fick's diffusion method, and the Arrhenius equation was applied to calculate the activation energy ($E_a$). Results: The drying time was profoundly decreased as the microwave power intensity was increased regardless of the thickness of the radish strips; however, the drying rate of thicker strips was faster than that of the thinner strips up to a certain moisture content of the strip samples. The majority of the applied drying models were suitable to describe the drying characteristics of the radish strips for all drying conditions. Among the drying models, based on the model indices, the best model was the Page model. The range of estimated $D_{eff}$ for both strip samples was from $2.907{\times}10^{-9}$ to $1.215{\times}10^{-8}m^2/s$. $E_a$ for the 6- and 9-mm strips was 3.537 and 3.179 W/g, respectively. Conclusions: The microwave drying characteristics varied depending on the microwave power intensity and the thickness of the strips. In order to produce high-quality dried radish strips, the microwave power intensity should be lower than 180 W.

초소형 연료전지용 메탄올-수증기 개질기의 경우 저온상태($250^{\circ}C$ 이하)에서 수증기와 반응하여 개질반응이 일어나기 때문에 수소를 효율적으로 생산할 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 개질기에 대하여 수치해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저, 개질기 벽면 온도를 100, 140, 180, $220^{\circ}C$로 설정하였고 메탄올 전환율은 각 0, 0.072, 3.83, 46.51%로 나타났다. 다음으로 촉매의 공극률을 0.1, 0.35, 0.6, 0.85로 설정하였고, 메탄올 전환율에는 큰 차이가 없었으나 압력강하 값이 각 4645.97, 59.50, 5.12, 0.45 kPa로 나타났다. 메탄올-수증기 개질기는 $180^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서는 거의 반응하지 않으며 공극률은 개질기를 흐르는 유체가 개질기와 충분히 접촉하여 활성화 에너지를 낮추어 준다면 메탄올 전환율에 크게 영향을 미치지 않는다는 것을 확인하였다.

A 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $NbF_5$ sample was prepared by mechanical milling under $H_2$ (reactive mechanical grinding). Its hydriding and dehydriding properties were then examined. Activation of the 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $NbF_5$ sample was not required. At n=1, the sample absorbed 3.11 wt% H for 2.5 min, 3.55 wt% H for 5 min, 3.86 wt% H for 10 min, and 4.23 wt% H for 30 min at 593K under 12 bar $H_2$. At n=1, the sample desorbed 0.17 wt% H for 5 min, 0.74 wt% H for 10 min, 2.03 wt% H for 30 min, and 2.81 wt% H for 60 min at 593K under 1.0 bar $H_2$. The XRD pattern of the 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $NbF_5$ after reactive mechanical grinding showed Mg, ${\beta}-MgH_2$ and small amounts of ${\gamma}-MgH_2$, $NbH_2$, $MgF_2$ and $NbF_3$. The XRD pattern of the 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $NbF_5$ dehydrided at n=3 revealed Mg, ${\beta}-MgH_2$, a small amount of MgO and very small amounts of $MgH_2$ and $NbH_2$. The 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $NbF_5$ had a higher initial hydriding rate and a larger quantity of hydrogen absorbed for 60 min than the 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% MnO and the 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $Fe_2O_3$, which were reported to have quite high hydriding rates and/or dehydriding rates. The 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $NbF_5$ had a higher initial dehydriding rate (after an incubation period) and a larger quantity of hydrogen desorbed for 60 min than the 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% MnO and the 90 wt% Mg-10 wt% $Fe_2O_3$.

The specific strength of magnesium alloy is four times that of iron and 1.5 times that of aluminum. For this reason, its use is increasing in the transportation industry which is promoting weight reduction. At room temperature, magnesium alloy has low formability due to Hexagonal closed packed (HCP) structure with relatively little slip plane. However, as the molding temperature increases, the formability of the magnesium alloy is greatly improved due to the activation of other additional slip systems, and the flow stress and elongation vary greatly depending on the temperature. In addition, magnesium alloys exhibit asymmetrical behavior, which is different from tensile and compression behavior. In this study, a jig was developed that can measure the plane deformation behavior on the surface of a material in tensile and compression tests of magnesium alloys in warm temperature. A jig was designed to prevent buckling occurring in the compression test by applying a certain pressure to apply it to the tensile and compression tests. And the tensile and compressive behavior of magnesium at each temperature was investigated with the developed jig and DIC equipment. In each experiment, the strain rate condition was set to a quasi-static strain rate of 0.01/s. The transformation temperature is room temperature, 100℃. 150℃, 200℃, 250℃. As a result of the experiment, the flow stress tended to decrease as the temperature increased. The maximum stress decreased by 60% at 250 degrees compared to room temperature. Particularly, work softening occurred above 150 degrees, which is the recrystallization temperature of the magnesium alloy. The elongation also tended to increase as the deformation temperature increased and increased by 60% at 250 degrees compared to room temperature. In the compression experiment, it was confirmed that the maximum stress decreased as the temperature increased.

반탄화는 $200{\sim}300^{\circ}C$의 불활성분위기에서 바이오매스를 전처리하는 열처리공정이며 이러한 반탄화 공정은 바이오 매스에 함유된 섬유질성분의 분해온도에 크게 영향을 받은 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 사탕수수 부산물의 반탄화 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였으며 반탄화 온도 및 반탄화 시간에 따른 에너지 수율, 발열량 및 발생가스 그리고 가연분과 회분의 관계에 중점을 두었다. 또한 본 연구에서는 TGA(Thermogravimetric Analyzer)를 이용한 사탕수수 부산물의 반탄화 반응에 대한 활성화 에너지의 변화도 함께 고찰하였다. 본 연구로부터 반탄화 온도에 따라 회분 및 발열량은 증가하였으나 가연분 및 에너지 수율은 감소하였으며 또한 산소성분을 함유한 일산화탄소가 탄화수소 화합물, $C_xH_y$ 보다 더 낮은 온도에서 분해되기 시작하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recently, we have proposed a hypothesis that spinal structures have a stress sensor driving feedback mechanism, In the human spine, spinal structure could react to modify muscular action in such a way so as to equalize stress at the disc, therefore reduce the risk of injury, In this analysis, abdominal muscle and abdominal pressure, which were not included in the previous study, were added to identify those effects in spine stability during upright stance posture for the case where the intervertebral disc plays the role of mechanoreceptor, The musculoskeletal FE model was consisted with detailed whole lumbar spine, pelvis, sacrum, coccyx and simplified trunk model. Muscle architecture with 46 local muscles containing paraspinal muscle and 6 rectus abdominal muscles were assigned according to the acting directions. The magnitude of 4kPa was considered for abdominal pressure. Minimization of the nucleus pressure deviation and annulus fiber average tension stress deviation was chosen for cost function. Developed model provide nice coincidence with in-vivo measurement (nucleus pressure). Analysis was conducted according to existence of co-activation of abdominal muscle and abdominal pressure. Antagonistic activity of abdominal muscle produced stability of spinal column with relatively small amount of total muscle force. In contrast to the abdominal muscle, effect of abdominal pressure was not clear that was partly depending on the assumption of constant abdominal pressure.

0.5mm 크기의 타원형 무기분말을 충전한 폴리우레탄 폼 복합재료에 대한 가교반응의 특성과 후가교처리에 따른 기계적 물성의 변화에 대하여 생성반응의 온도 측정, TGA, 및 인장시험을 이용하여 연구하였다. 중량비로 20% 정도를 충전하는 $CeO_2$ 무기분말(Ce500)을 충전한 샘플 폼복합재료는 10분 이내에 $100^{\circ}$ 정도의 최고 반응속도점 온도에 도달하였으며, 만들어진 샘플의 열분해반응은 약 $250^{\circ}$ 부근의 저온 열분해와 약 $350^{\circ}$ 부근의 고온 열분해의 이중모드로 일어나는 것이 관찰되었다. Kissinger의 해석방법에 의한 분해활성화에너지는 저온영역에서의 열분해에 대하여서는 117.4kJ/mol이며 고온영역에 대해서는 139.4kJ/mol의 값을 각각 나타내었다. $160^{\circ}C$에서의 샘플의 후가교 처리시간에 따른 기계적 성질은 후가교 시간에 따라서 파단응력이나 경도는 크게 변하지 않는 것으로 나타났으나 파단신율은 최대 1.72배까지 증가하였으며, 본 실험에서 사용된 샘플의 경우 $160^{\circ}C$, 7시간 정도의 후가교 시간이 가장 적절한 후가교 조건으로 생각되었다.

The objective of this study is to elucidate what governs delayed hydride cracking (DHC) in Zr-2.5Nb tubes by correlating the striation spacings with DHCV(DHC Velocity). To this end, DHC tests were conducted on the compact tension specimens taken from the Zr-2.5Nb tubes at different temperatures ranging from 100 to $300^{\circ}C$ with a 3 to 6 data set at each test conditions. The compact tension specimens were electrolytically charged with 27 to 87 ppm H before DHC tests. After DHC tests, the striation spacings and DHCV were determined with the increasing the test temperature and yield strength. The striation spacing and DHCV increased as a function of yield $strength^2$ and the temperature. Since the plastic zone size ahead of the crack tip can be represented by ${\sim}(K_{IH}/{\sigma}_{Y})^2$, we conclude that the striation spacing is governed by the plastic zone size which in turn determines a gradient of hydrogen concentration at the crack tip. The relationship between the plastic zone size and the striation spacing was validated through a complimentary experiment using double cantilever beam specimens. Two main factors to govern DHCV of Zr-2.5Nb tubes are concluded to be hydrogen diffusion and a hydrogen concentration gradient at the crack tip that are controlled by temperature and yield strength, respectively. The activation energy of DHCV in the Zr-2.5Nb tubes is discussed on the basis of temperature dependency of hydrogen diffusion and the striation spacing.
