FePt nanoparticles suspension was synthesized by reduction of platinum acetylacetonate and decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl in the presence of oleic acid and oleyl amine. FePt nanoparticles were coated on a substrate by convective assembly from the suspension. To prevent the coalescence during the annealing of FePt nanoparticles double convective coatings were tried. First convective coating was for silica particle assembly on a silicon substrate and second one was for FePt nanoparticles on the previously coated silica layers. It was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) that FePt nanoparticles were dispersed on the silica particle surface. After annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes under nitrogen atmosphere, FePt nanoparticles on silica particles were maintained in a dispersed state with slight increase of particle size. On the contrary, FePt nanoparticles that were directly coated on silicon substrate showed severe particle growth after annealing due to the close-packing of nanoparticles during assembly. The size variation during annealing was also verified by X-ray diffractometer (XRD). It was suggested that pre-coating, which offered solvent flux oppose to the capillary force between FePt nanoparticles, was an effective method to prevent coalescence of nano-sized particles under high temperature annealing.

This study's primary aim is to check the existence of a representative volume element for granular materials and determine the link between the properties (responses) of macro structures and the size of the discrete particle assembly used to represent a constitutive relation in a two-scale model. In our two-scale method the boundary value problem on the macro level was solved using finite element method, based on the Cosserat continuum; the macro stresses and modulus were obtained using a solution of discrete particle assemblies at certain element integration points. Meanwhile, discrete particle assemblies were solved using discrete element method under boundary conditions provided by the macro deformation. Our investigations focused largely on the size effects of the discrete particle assembly and the radius of the particle on macro properties, such as deformation stiffness, bearing capacity and the residual strength of the granular structure. According to the numerical results, we suggest fitting formulas linking the values of different macro properties (responses) and size of discrete particle assemblies. In addition, this study also concerns the configuration and displacement fluctuation of discrete particle assemblies on the micro level, accompanied with the evolution of bearing capacity and deformation on the macro level.

This paper describes a new constructing method of multifunctional biosensor using many kinds of biomaterials. A metal particle and an array was fabricated by photolithographic. Biomaterials were immobilized on the metal particle. The array and the particles were mixed in a buffer solution, and were arranged by magnetic force interaction and random fluidic self-assembly. A quarter of total Ni dots were covered by the particles. The binding direction of the particles was controllable, and condition of particles was almost with Au surface on top. The particles were successfully arranged on the array. The biomaterial activities were detected by chemiluminescence and electrochemical methods.

The effects of particle content, size and shape on the thermal conductivity (k) and adhesion properties of thermally conductive, pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) were investigated. The matrix resins were thermally crosslinkable, 2-ethylhexyl acrylic polyol and ultraviolet (UV)-curable, random copolymer consisting of acrylic oligomer and various acrylates. We found that k increased with increasing diameter and particle aspect ratio, and was further enhanced due to the reduction of the interfacial thermal barrier when the coupling agent, which increases the adhesion between particles and the matrix resin, was used. On the other hand, adhesion properties such as peel strength and tack of the thermally crosslinkable resin decreased sharply with increasing particle content. However, for UV curable resin, increased particle addition inhibited the decrease in adhesion properties.

Two physical experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of beam-particle model for simulating the progressive failure of particulate composites such as sandstone and concrete. In the numerical model, the material is schematized at the meso-level as an assembly of discrete, interacting particles which are linked through a network of brittle breaking beams. The uniaxial compressive tests of cubic and parallelepipedal specimens made of carbon steel rod assembly which are glued together by a mixture are represented. The crack patterns and load-displacement response observed in the experiments are in good agreement with the numerical results. In the application respect of beam-particle model to the particulate composites, the influence of defects, particle arrangement and boundary conditions on crack propagation is approached, and the correlation existing between the cracking evolution and the level of loads imposed on the specimen is characterized by fractal dimensions.

트랩도어 하강이 일어나는 토체 내부에서 발생하는 흙 아치 구조의 변화를 관찰하기 위해서 광탄성 측정 기법을 이용하여 입상체의 다양한 거동을 관찰하였다. 광탄성 반응 재료로 코팅된 원주형 모형 입자를 적층하여 입상체를 구성하였다. 광탄성 기법을 이용하여 입상체 내부에서 발생하는 입자 간 접촉력 전달 구조의 변화를 촬영하여 관찰하였으며 이를 입상체 하부 로드셀에서 측정된 압력 변화 및 내부 활동면의 변화 양상과 비교 분석하였다. 트랩도어 하강 초기에 형성된 흙 아치 구조는 하강이 지속되면 붕괴되지만 다시 확장된 아치 구조가 새롭게 형성되었다. 트랩도어 하강 초기에 일치하였던 흙 아치 구조의 경계면과 활동면은 트랩도어 하강이 진행되면서 활동면이 포함된 영역이 접촉력을 잃은 영역 내부에 포함되었다.

The initial step during assembly of the hepatitis A virus particle is driven by domain 2A of P1-2A, which is the precursor of the structural proteins. The proteolytic removal of 2A from particulate VP1-2A by an as yet unknown host enzyme presumably terminates viral morphogenesis. Using a genetic approach, we show that a basic amino acid residue at the C-terminus of VP1 is required for efficient particle assembly and that host proteases trypsin and cathepsin L remove 2A from hepatitis A virus particles in vitro. Analyses of insertion mutants in the C-terminus of 2A reveal that this part of 2A is important for liberation of P1-2A from the polyprotein. The data provide the first evidence that the VP1/2A junction is involved in both viral particle assembly and maturation and, therefore, seems to coordinate the first and last steps in viral morphogenesis.

This research proposed a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based seismic retrofit design of moment frame structures using a steel frame assembly. Two full scale specimens of the steel frame assembly with different corner details were attached to one-story RC frames for seismic retrofit, and the lateral load resisting capacities of the retrofitted frames subjected to cyclic loads were compared with those of a bare RC frame. The open source software framework Opensees was used to develop an analytical model for validating the experimental results. The developed analytical model and the optimization scheme were applied to a case study structure for economic seismic retrofit design, and its seismic performance was assessed before and after the retrofit. The results show that the developed steel frame assembly was effective in increasing seismic load resisting capability of the structure, and the PSO algorithm could be applied as convenient optimization tool for seismic retrofit design of structures.

본 논문의 목적은 얕은 기초 하중을 받는 입상체 내의 응력의 분포와 변위를 측정하는 광탄성 기법의 적용 방안을 제시하는 데 있다. 광탄성 측정기법은 입자 집합체의 힘 전달을 시각화하기 위해 사용 되었다. 실내 모형시험은 스틸 프레임으로 경계면을 만들고 폴리카보네이트 탄성중합체로 만들어진 이차원 원형 입자들을 적층하여 구성하였다. 광탄성 시트를 원형 입자에 코팅함으로써 힘 전달의 패턴을 밝은 빛의 줄무늬 형태로 확인할 수 있었고, 광탄성 측정 기법을 통해 접촉되어 있는 입자들에서의 주 응력차의 크기, 방향 또한 측정 할 수 있었다. 변위장은 디지털 이미지 해석 기법을 사용하여 측정 하였다. 하중 재하 초기 상태와 파괴 근처의 상태에서 서로 다른 접촉력의 분포를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 파괴 이전 단계에서 관측된 광탄성 패턴과 변위장은 접촉력 사슬의 좌굴 발생 이후 즉시 사라짐을 확인하였다.
