고분자 광섬유(POF)는 유리광섬유에 비하여 경량성, 저가 그리고 다루기 쉬운 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 상대적으로 높은 전송손실과 낮은 대역특성으로 인하여 랜과 같은 단거리 네트워킹에 대한 사용이 적합하다. 전송손실을 낮게 하기 위한 고분자물질의 합성공정과 유연한 고분자광섬유의 활용을 보다 넓히기 위한 다양한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 저잡음의 POF 모듈들이 개발되었으며, 이를 위하여 저잡음 증폭기와 저가의 650 nm의 발광다이오드(LED: Light Emitting Diode)가 최적화되었다. 광통신과 센서용 POF 모듈의 동적특성을 나타내기 위하여, 화상전송모듈, 광전송 속도측정모듈, RS-232용 광전송기와 음성전송모듈을 제작하여 그들의 신호특성을 평가하였다. 광전송속도의 측정에 있어서는 빠르고 간단한 측정으로서 모듈이 바로 사용될 수 있는 것으로 보여진다. 또한, 아날로그 증폭기, LED와 포토다이오드(PD: Photo Diode) 등을 활용하여, 소리와 화상의 전송은 POF를 통하여 최대 60 m까지 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 비례적분미분제어에서 확인한 실시간 데이터 전송효과는 산업용 공장의 설계와 제어에 있어서 매우 가치가 있을 것으로 고려된다.

This work has carried out some preliminary studies for the utilization of a solar mini-dish system capable of concentrating solar rays to higher densities. A typical mini-dish system considered employs an array of solar mini-dishes where major components are light and compact. It consists of small mini-dishes, optical fiber bundles and diffusers at the end. Each mini-dish (typically has a 20 to 30 cm in diameter) is designed with a simple parabolic profile, concentrating sunlight (after the glass glazing cover to avoid dust deposition on the reflector and facilitate cleaning) onto a centrally-located small mirror which is placed on the bottom side of the transparent glass cover. The focused sunlight is reflected by the mirror surface onto a focal point where the receiving aperture of a homogenizer is located. Optical fibers are used to carry high-density solar rays to the other end where diffusers are mounted for indoor illumination. The proposed high density mini-dish system could make an efficient daylighting system as it excludes large moving parts and expandable if necessary. Each component of the system could be made from the off-the-shelf technology and thus, make the generic unit inexpensive to manufacture. Depending on spatial demand or characteristics, the amount of introducing daylight could be controlled. Preliminary tests have been carried out for a trial system to check any functional problems when in operation. Suggestions are also made to improve the design enhancing its performance and applicability.

In this study, the relationship between fiber orientation and mechanical properties with the injection pressure of polyamide-6/glass fiber composite materials manufactured by the injection molding process was investigated. Also, an actual experimental data and finite element model-based simulation data were analyzed. Specimens were manufactured through the injection molding process setting the injection pressure differently to 700, 800, 900, and 1000 bar, respectively. A morphological analysis and orientation of the PA6/GF composite material were observed using Optical microscope. Through tensile and flexural strength tests, the mechanical properties of the PA6/GF composite materials with the injection pressure were studied. As a result, it was confirmed that the mechanical properties were the superior under the injection pressure of 900 bar molding conditions. In addition, the mechanical properties of the actually manufactured specimen (PA6/GF) and virtual engineering S/W((Digimat, Abaqus) were used to compare and analyze the analysis results for the mechanical properties, and based on the reliable DB, the physical properties of the PA6/GF composite characteristics were studied.

In this study, a solar light collector that collects and transmits solar light required for crop production in a closed plant production system was developed. The solar light collector consisted of a Fresnel lens for collecting solar light, and a tracking actuator for tracking solar light from sunrise to sunset to increase the light collection efficiency. The optical fiber that transmitted solar light was made of Glass Optical Fiber (GOF), and it had an excellent optical transmission rate. After collecting the solar light, the amount of light was measured at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 cm distances from the GOF through the darkroom by using a light sensor logger connected to a quantum and pyranometer sensor. Compared with solar light, the light intensity of pyranometer sensor measured at 5 cm was 114% higher than solar light, and 61% at 10 cm. In addition, it was observed that it is possible to transmit the necessary amount of light for growing crops up to about 15 cm (as over 22%) through GOF. Therefore, adding diffusers to the solar light collector should be expected to replace artificial light in plant factories or plug seedlings nurseries for leafy vegetables. More studies on the solar light collection devices and the light transmission devices that have high light collection efficiency should be conducted.

Since crack detection for laminated composites in-service is effective to improve the structural reliability of laminated composites, it have been tried to detect cracks of laminated composites by various nondestructive methods. An electric potential method is one of the widely used approaches for detection of cracks for carbon fiber composites, since the electric potential method adopts the electric conductive carbon fibers as reinforcements and sensors and the adoption of carbon fibers as sensors does not bring strength reduction induced by embedding sensors into the structures such as optical fibers. However, the application of the electric method is limited only to electrically conductive composite materials. Recently, a piezoelectric method using piezoelectric characteristics of epoxy adhesives has been successfully developed for the adhesive joints because it can monitor continuously the damage of adhesively bonded structures without producing any defects. Polymeric materials for the matrix of composite materials have piezoelectric characteristics similarly to adhesive materials, and the fracture of composite materials should lead to the fracture of polymeric matrix. Therefore, it seems to be valid that the piezoelectric method can be applied to monitoring the damage of composite materials. In this research, therefore, the feasibility study of the damage monitoring for composite materials by piezoelectric method was conducted. Using carbon fiber epoxy composite and glass fiber composite, charge output signals were measured and analyzed during the static and fatigue tests, and the effect of fiber materials on the damage monitoring of composite materials by the piezoelectric method was investigated.

각종섬유를 연속섬유 보강재로 사용하는 경우, 일반적으로 수지를 매트릭스로 하여 봉재 형상(FRP rod)으로 제조하고있다. 성형된 섬유는 수지가 섬유의 보호재 역할을 하기 때문에, 콘크리트내의 알칼리와 절연되어 열화가능성이 작다고 고려된다. 그러나, 일반적으로 섬유를 둘러싼 수지는 그 두께가 수 {$mu}m$이하로 특히 얇고, 운반이나 보관시에 수지가 물리적 변형 및 자외선에 의한 열화가 일어날 가능성이 높다. 또 알칼리에 의하여 에스테르의 가수분해반응에 따른 폴리머의 부식 등, 수지에 알칼리의 침입을 완전히 막는 것이 불가능하게 여겨진다.

Rubber-modified epoxy resins have been employed as adhesive and matrix materials for glass and corbon-fiber composites. The behavior of fracture around a crack tip for rubber-modified epoxy resin is investigated through the acoustic emission (AE) analysis of compact tension specimens. Damage zone and rubber particles distributed around a crack tip were observed by a polarized optical microscope and an atomic force microscope (AFM). The damage zone in front of pre-crack tip in rubber-modified specimen $(15wt\%\; rubber)$ began to form at about $13\%$ level of the fracture load and grew in size until $57\%$ load level. After that, the crack propagated in a stick-slip manner. Based on time-frequency analysis of AE signals and microscopic observation of damage zone, it was thought that AE signals with frequency bands of 0.15-0.20 MHz and 0.20­0.30 MHz were generated from cavitation in the damage zone and crack propagation, respectively.

Statement of problem : Most posts are metallic, but in response to the need for a post that possesses optical properties compatible with an all-ceramic crown. an esthetic post has been developed. Although there have been many studies about the esthetic post materials, 3-dimensional finite element studies about the stress distribution of them are in rare. Purpose : The purpose of this study is to investigate comparatively the distribution of stresses of the restored, endodontically treated maxillary incisors with the esthetic post materials and the displacement on the cement layer on simulated occlusal loading by using a 3-dimensional finite element analysis model. Material and method : Four 3-dimensional finite element models were constructed in a view of a maxillary central incisor, a post, a core, and the supporting tissues to investigate the stresses in various esthetic posts and cores and the displacement on the cement layer (Model 1 ; Cast gold post and core, Model 2 ; Glass fiber post with composite core, Model 3 ; Zirconia post with composite core. Model 4 ; Zirconia post with ceramic core). Force of 300N was applied to the incisal edge and the cingulum (centric stop point) with the angle of 135-degree to the long axis of the tooth. Results : 1. The stresses and displacement on the incisal edge were higher than on the cingulum 2. The stresses in dentin were the highest in Model 2 (Glass fiber post with composite core), and the second was Model 3, the third Model 1, and the lowest Model 4. 3. The stresses in post and core were the highest in Model 4 (Zirconia post with ceramic core), and the second was Model 1, the third Model 3, and the lowest Model 2. 4. The displacement on the cement layer was the highest in Model 2 (Glass fiber post with composite core), and the second was Model 3, the third Model 1, and the lowest Model 4. Conclusion : When a functional maximum bite force was applied, the distribution of stresses or the esthetic post and core materials and the displacement on the cement layer were a little different. It seems that restoring extensively damaged incisors with esthetic post and core materials would be decided according to the remaining tooth structure.

Infrared Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (IR-SNOM) is an extremely powerful analytical instrument since it combines IR spectroscopy's high chemical specificity with SNOM's high spatial resolution. In order to do this in the infrared, specialty chalcogenide glass fibers were fabricated and their ends tapered to generate SNOM probes. The fiber tips were installed in a modified near field microscope and both inorganic and biological samples illuminated with the tunable output from a free-electron laser located at Vanderbilt University. Both topographical and IR spectral images were simultaneously recorded with a resolution of ${\sim}50\;nm$ and ${\sim}100\;nm$, respectively. Unique spectroscopic features were identified in all samples, with spectral images exhibiting resolutions of up to ${\lambda}/60$, or at least 30 times better than the diffraction limited lens-based microscopes. We believe that IR-SNOM can provide a very powerful insight into some of the most important bio-medical research topics.
