Based on the nonlocal strain gradient (NSG) theory and considering the influence of moment of inertia, the governing equations of motion of porous functionally graded (FG) nanoplates with four edges clamped are established; The Galerkin method is applied to eliminate the spatial variables of the partial differential equation, and the partial differential governing equation is transformed into an ordinary differential equation with time variables. By satisfying the boundary conditions and solving the characteristic equation, the dispersion relations of the porous FG strain gradient nanoplates with four edges fixed are obtained. It is found that when the wave number is very small, the influences of nonlocal parameters and strain gradient parameters on the dispersion relation is very small. However, when the wave number is large, it has a great influence on the group velocity and phase velocity. The nonlocal parameter represents the effect of stiffness softening, and the strain gradient parameter represents the effect of stiffness strengthening. In addition, we also study the influence of power law index parameter and porosity on guided wave propagation.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the free vibration behavior of the micro sandwich beam composing of five layers such as functionally graded (FG) porous core, nanocomposite reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and piezomagnetic/piezoelectric layers subjected to magneto electrical potential resting on silica aerogel foundation. The effect of foundation has been taken into account using Vlasov model in addition to rigid base assumption. For this purpose, an iterative technique is applied. The material properties of the FG porous core and FG nanocomposite layers are considered to vary throughout the thickness direction of the beams. Based on the Timoshenko beam theory and Hamilton's principle, the governing equations of motion for the micro sandwich beam are obtained. The Navier's type solution is utilized to obtain analytical solutions to simply supported micro sandwich beam. Results are verified with corresponding literatures. In the following, a study is carried out to find the effects of the porosity coefficient, porous distribution, volume fraction of CNT, the thickness of silica aerogel foundation, temperature and moisture, geometric parameters, electric and magnetic potentials on the vibration of the micro sandwich beam. The results are helpful for the design and applications of micro magneto electro mechanical systems.

In order to avoid the high observability due to the cavity resonance or electromagnetic wave leakages from the bridge of a battleship or the cockpit of an aircraft, this paper presents a transparent conductive oxide coated structure to prevent the incoming/outgoing electromagnetic waves. Currently, most of the RCS reduction technologies were focused on radar absorbing material such as paints based on conductive or magnetic materials in the fuselage, and there is not much research on countermeasures for achieving the low observability of materials that required optical transparency in actual weapon systems. In this study, the transmission/reflection and absorption performance of the ITO coated structure according to the change of the surface resistance of the transparent conductor were analyzed. Finally, the relationship between the electromagnetic and optical characteristics was established through fabrication and measurement.

This article investigates the free vibration behavior of carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) beams embedded using variational analytical methods and artificial neural networks (ANN). The material properties of layered functionally graded CNTRC (FG-CNTRC) beams are estimated using nonlocal parameters modified power-law with different types of CNT distributions through the thickness direction of the beam. Adopting Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory to capture the small size effects, the nonlocal governing equations are derived and solved using the analytical method. And also, the problem was analyzed using the ANN method. The architecture of the proposed ANN model is 3-9-1. In the experiments, we used 112 different data to predict the natural frequency using ANN. Based on the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen, the equations of motion as well as the boundary conditions of the beam are derived using Hamilton's principle. The classical beam theory is used to formulate a governing equation for predicting the free vibration of laminated CNTRC beams. According to the experimental results, the prediction ability of the ANN model is very good and the natural frequency can be predicted in ANN without attempting any experiments.

The main aims of this study are to develop a new nonlocal quasi-3D theory for the free vibration behaviors of the functionally graded sandwich nanobeams. The sandwich beams consist of a ceramic core and two functionally graded material layers resting on elastic foundations. The two layers, linear spring stiffness and shear layer, are used to model the effects of the elastic foundations. The size-effect is considered using nonlocal elasticity theory. The governing equations of the motion of the functionally graded sandwich nanobeams are obtained via Hamilton's principle in combination with nonlocal elasticity theory. Then the Navier's solution technique is used to solve the governing equations of the motion to achieve the nonlocal free vibration behaviors of the nanobeams. A deep parametric study is also provided to demonstrate the effects of some parameters, such as length-to-height ratio, power-law index, nonlocal parameter, and two parameters of the elastic foundation, on the free vibration behaviors of the functionally graded sandwich nanobeams.

저온용 SCR 촉매인 $MnO_x$의 촉매 활성을 높이기 위해 $TiO_2$ 지지체와 함께 조촉매로서 $CeO_2$을 사용하였고, 제조된 나노 사이즈의 촉매 특성과 함께 질소산화물 제거 효율에 대해 고찰하였다. $MnO_x-CeO_2/TiO_2$ 촉매 내에서 $CeO_2$ 거동을 확인하기 위해 단일 조성의 $CeO_2$와의 차이점을 미세구조적으로 비교 분석하였다. $MnO_x-CeO_2/TiO_2$ 촉매가 졸겔법을 통해 제조되었으며 낮은 열적 특성으로 인해 평균 $285{\mu}m$ 정도의 큰 입도를 가진 단일 $CeO_2$와는 달리 Ti 지지체와 함께 합성된 촉매의 경우 130 nm 정도로 줄어들었음을 확인하였다. 투과 전자 현경을 이용한 EDS mapping를 통해 Ce-Ti의 강한 interaction이 nano-sized powder 제조의 원인인 것으로 확인하였다. 조촉매 첨가로 인해 $MnO_x/TiO_2$ 촉매에 비해 저온영역에서 20 % 이상의 효율 향상이 있었으며 이는 3성분계 촉매 내에서 $CeO_2$가 나노 사이즈로 잘 분산됨에 따라 촉매 반응에 필요한 산소이온의 교환이 활발히 일어날 수 있었기 때문이다.

목적: 이 연구의 목적은 심미적인 임플란트 지대주의 종류와 두께에 따른 파절 강도를 측정하여 구강 내 저작압에 견디는 최소한의 두께를 평가하기 위함이다. 재료 및 방법: 대조군으로 0.5 mm 두께의 티타늄 임플란트 지대주를(Ti-0.5), 실험군으로 지르코니아 임플란트와 레진 나노 세라믹 지대주를 사용하여 각각 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm 두께로 각 그룹에 10개씩 총 70개의 시편을 제작하였다(그룹Zir-0.5, Zir-0.8, Zir-1.0, RNC-0.5, RNC-0.8, RNC-1.0). 모든 시편은 파절 실험 이전에 열순환을 시행하여 구강 내에서의 사용을 재현한 후, universal testing machine을 이용하여 각 시편의 파절 강도를 측정하여 평균값을 측정하였다. 그룹들의 평균 파절 값을 측정하였으며 이원분산분석을 이용하여 통계학적으로 분석하였다. 결과: Zir-1.0군이 가장 높은 파절 강도 $2,476.3{\pm}342.0N$를 보였으며 뒤를 이어 Zir-0.8 ($1,518{\pm}347.9N$), Ti-0.5 ($1,041.8{\pm}237.2N$), Zir-0.5 ($631.4{\pm}149.0N$), 의 순이었다. RNC 그룹의 경우에 Ti와 Zir 그룹에 비교하여 유의하게 낮은 파절 강도값을 나타내었으며(RNC-1.0 $427.5{\pm}72.1$, RNC-0.8 $297.9{\pm}41.2$), 모든 실험군에서 지대주 두께가 감소할수록 파절 강도 값도 유의하게 감소했다(P < .01). RNC-0.5 ($127.4{\pm}35.3N$) 그룹은 다른 모든 군에 비해 유의하게 낮은 값을 보였다(P < .05). 결론: 이번 실험에서 사용된 모든 두께의 지르코니아 지대주는 전치부와 구치부의 교합압을 견딜 수 있는 정도의 파절 강도를 보여주었다. 레진 나노 세라믹 지대주의 경우 0.8 mm 두께 이상에서 전치부의 교합압을 견딜 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.

본 연구는 철기(Fe based) $Fe_{73.5}Si_{13.5}B_9Nb_3Cu_1$ 나노결정 합금의 분말코어(powder core)의 연자기적 특성 향상을 위한 기초연구로서, 절연 코팅제의 첨가량 및 분말입도에 따른 투자율, 코어손실 및 DC 바이어스 특성을 주로 조사하였다. 우선 합금조성을 PFC 장치를 이용하여 비정질 합금리본을 제조한 후, 열처리, 미분쇄 및 분급하여 얻어진 합금분말에 절연 코팅제(PEI)의 첨가량을 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 2.5 wt%로 변화시켜 $16ton/cm^2$으로 압축성형 및 결정화 열처리하여 제조한 토로이달 나노결정 분말코어($OD12.7mm{\times}ID7.62mm{\times}H4.75mm$)는 절연 코팅제 함량이 증가할수록 투자율은 감소하였지만, 코어손실 및 DC 바이어스 특성은 향상됨을 확인하였다. 이러한 이유는 합금분말 절연 코팅제 첨가량이 증가할수록 비정질 합금분말 입자가 적어져 분말코어의 성형밀도가 낮아지기 때문으로 추정되었으며, 절연 코팅제의 함량은 1 wt%가 가장 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 절연 코팅제 함량을 1 wt%로 고정하고, 합금분말의 입도에 따라 제조한 분말코어의 경우, 실효투자율 및 코어손실은 입도가 클수록 우수하였지만, DC 바이어스 특성은 인가자장이 증가함에 따라 더욱 나빠짐을 확인하였다. 그 이유는 합금분말 표면의 코팅층 두께 차이에 의한 절연효과, 잔류기공 혹은 분말코어의 성형밀도 차이 등에 기인하는 것으로 추정되었다.

One of the greatest challenges for our society is providing powerful electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells are among the most promising candidates in terms of energy and power density. As the starting material, $TiCl_4{\cdot}YCl_3$ solution and dispersing agent (HCP) were mixed and synthesized using ammonia as the precipitation agent, in order to prepare the nano size Y doped spherical $TiO_2$ precursor. Then, the $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ was synthesized using solid state reaction method through the stoichiometric mixture of Y doped spherical $TiO_2$ precursor and LiOH. The Ti mole increased the concentration of the spherical particle size due to the addition of HPC with a similar particle size distribution in a well in which $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ spherical particles could be obtained. The optimal synthesis conditions and the molar ratio of the Ti 0.05 mol reaction at $50^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes and at $850^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours heat treatment time were optimized. $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ was prepared by the above conditions as a working electrode after generating the Coin cell; then, electrochemical properties were evaluated when the voltage range of 1.5V was flat, the initial capacity was 141 mAh/g, and cycle retention rate was 86%; also, redox reactions between 1.5 and 1.7V, which arose from the insertion and deintercalation of 0.005 mole of Y doping is not a case of doping because the C-rate characteristics were significantly better.
