Associating polymers act as flocculants in colloidal suspensions, because the hydrophobic groups (hydrophobes) can adsorb onto particle surfaces and create intermolecular cross-linking. The steady-shear viscosity and dynamic viscoelasticity were measured for suspensions flocculated by multichain bridging of associating polymers. The effects of surfactant on the suspension rheology are studied in relation to the bridging conformation. The surfactant molecule behaves as a displacer and the polymer chains are forced to desorb from the particle surfaces. The overall effect of surfactant is the reduction of suspension viscosity. However, the additions of a small amount of surfactant to suspensions, in which the degree of bridging is low, cause a viscosity increase, although the number of chains forming one bridge is decreased by the forced desorption of associating polymer. Since the polymer chains desorbed from one bridge can form another bridge between bare particles, the bridging density over the system is increased. Therefore, the surfactant adsorption leads to a viscosity increase. The surfactant influences the viscosity in two opposing ways depending on the degree of bridging.

Fracture toughness of particulate composites of Al2O3/SiC, Al2O3/ZrO2 and Al2O3/ZrO2/SiC was analysed theoretically. According to the suggested particle bridging model for obtaining the R-curve height, the crack extension resistance for the long crack was linearly proportional to the residual calmping stress at the interface between the second phase and the matrix. It was also a function of the particle size and the content. It was confirmed that the rising R-curve behavior of Al2O3 containing 30 vol% SiC particles of 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was owing to the strong crack bridging by SiC particles. For Al2O3/ZrO2/SiC composites, the tensional stress from the 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ SiC particles was large enough to activate the spontaneous transformation of the ZrO2. The crack extension resistance due to the particle bridging mechanism did not seem to be affected much by the coupled toughening, but its resultant toughness increase could be significantly smaller due to the dependency on the matrix toughness.

Particle settling behavior was studied by the computer simulation using simultaneous particle condensation and relaxation. This three-dimensional settling algorithm includes the estimation of powder sediment density. Density distribution through the powder sediment was compared and was agreed well with the experimental findings. Settling density depended strongly of the degree of particle relaxation. Sediment strength and isotropy also depended on the degree of particle relaxation. Sever particle bridging was found near sharp corners.

본 연구에서는 분자동역학 전산모사와 미시역학 모델을 이용하여 나노입자의 체적분율이 높은 경우 나노 입자의 크기효과와 체적분율 효과가 나노복합재의 기계적 물성에 미치는 영향을 효과적으로 묘사할 수 있는 순차적 브리징 해석기법을 제안하였다. 체적분율이 12%로 고정된 상태에서 나노입자의 크기변화에 따른 영률과 전단계수를 분자동역학 전산모사를 통해 예측한 후, 이를 연속체 모델에서 구현하기 위해 다중입자모델을 적용하였다. 나노입자의 크기효과를 반영하기 위해 입자와 기지 사이에 유효계면을 추가적인 상으로 도입하였고, 12%의 체적분율 조건에서 나타날 수 있는 체적분율 효과는 나노복합재를 둘러싸는 가상의 영역인 무한영역의 물성값의 변화를 통해 조절되도록 하였다. 유효계면과 무한영역의 물성을 입자의 반경에 대한 함수로 근사한 후 다양한 입자의 크기에서 나타나는 나노복합재의 물성변화의 예측이 가능하도록 하였다. 제안된 브리징 해석기법의 적용을 통해 분자동역학 해석결과와 잘 일치하는 결과를 연속체 모델에서 효율적이고 정확하게 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 유효계면의 두께와 물성 변화가 나노복합재의 기계적 물성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다.

In this study, the effect of particle aggregation on dynamic response time of Electrorheological (ER) fluid is investigated. The particle aggregation time is defined as the time interval between the application of the field and the formation of the first chain bridging the two electrodes. The dynamic response times of an ER fluid sheared between two concentric cylinders have been obtained under two different experimental conditions: the one is that the electric field is induced before shearing, and the other is that the electric field is induced after shearing. From the difference between two response times, the particle aggregation times are determined under various electric fields and shear rates. The experimental results show that the aggregation rate is decreased with an increase of shear rate, while electric field has little effect on it. Therefore, it is verified that the hydrodynamic force hinders the formation of chain-like structures.

Haptic actuators for large display panels play an important role in bridging the gap between the digital and physical world by generating interactive feedback for users. However, the generation of meaningful haptic feedback is challenging for large display panels. There are dead zones with low haptic sensations when a small number of actuators are applied. In contrast, it is important to control the traveling wave generated by the actuators in the presence of multiple actuators. In this study, we propose a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based algorithm for the haptic localization of plates with electrostatic vibration actuators. We modeled the transverse displacement of a plate under the effect of actuators by employing the Kirchhoff-Love plate theory. In addition, starting with twenty randomly generated particles containing the actuator parameters, we searched for the optimal actuator parameters using a stochastic process to yield localization. The capability of the proposed PSO algorithm is reported and the transverse displacement has a high magnitude only in the targeted region.

$Al_2O_3$/SiC particulate composites were fabircated by pressureless sintering. The dispersed phase was SiC of which the content was varied from 1.0 to 10 vol%. Three SiC powders having different median diameters from 0.28 $\mu\textrm{m}$ to 1.9 $\mu\textrm{m}$ were used. The microstructure became finer and more uniform as the SiC content increased except the 10 vol% specimens, which were sintered at a higher temperature. Under the same sintering condition, densification as well as grain growth was retarded more severly when the SiC content was higher or the SiC particle size was smaller. The highest flexural strength obtained at 5.0 vol% SiC regardless of the SiC particle size seemed to be owing to the finer and more uniform microstructures of the specimens. Annealing of the specimens at $1300^{\circ}C$ improved the strength in general and this annealing effect was good for the specimens containing as low as 1.0 vol% of SiC. Fracture toughness did not change appreciably with the SiC content but, for the composites containing 10 vol% SiC, a significantly higher toughness was obtained with the specimen containing 1.9$\mu\textrm{m}$ SiC particles.

Stable slurries of YSZ in aqueous suspension with added polymer dispersants, namely, poly-methacrylic acid ammonium salt (PMMA), poly-acrylic acid (PAA) and poly-acrylic-co-maleic acid (PAMA), were mixed with the monomolecular dispersants citric acid and oxalic acid. The dispersion properties of the suspension were investigated using PSA, viscosity, sedimentation, and FT-IR. The polymer dispersants and monomolecular dispersants were attached to the YSZ surface by the carboxylic group, as shown by the FTIR results. A stabilized aqueous suspension was obtained when the polymer dispersant and citric acid were mixed and compared to the use of citric acid alone as a dispersant agent. When the polymer dispersant and citric acid were mixed and milled through attrition milling, there was a smaller particle size compared to when the polymer dispersant alone was used as a dispersant agent. This study determined that the particle size of the mixed dispersant was affected by the properties of the monomolecular dispersant and that the stability of the suspension was affected by the polymer dispersant. However, when slurries of YSZ were mixed with oxalic acid, the particle bridging behavior was the result of the high degree of viscosity and the small sedimentation height.

$Al_2O_3$/TiC/SiC, $Al_2O_3$/SiC 및 $Al_2O_3$/TiC 복합체들을 고온가압소결로 제조하여 이들의 균열저항거동과 기계적 성질을 비교해 보았다. $Al_2O_3$에 $0.8{\mu}m$의 TiC가 30vol% 첨가된 $Al_2O_3$/TiC는 단일체 $Al_2O_3$와 비슷한 균열저항거동을 보이며 파괴인성은 전반적으로 10% 이내의 증가를 보이는데 그쳤지만 강도는 약 30% 증가하였다. $Al_2O_3$에 $3{\mu}m$ SiC가 30vol% 첨가된 $Al_2O_3$/SiC는 SiC 입자의 균열 접속으로 인해 증가하는 균열저항거동을 뚜렷이 보이면서 파괴인성이 긴 균열에서 약 75% 증가하였으나 강도는 다소 감소했다. $Al_2O_3$/TiC에 SiC 입자가 30 vol% 첨가된 $Al_2O_3$/TiC/SiC 복합체의 경우 단일체 $Al_2O_3$에 비해 긴 균열 거리에서 파괴인성이 50% 이상 증가된 6.6 MP${\cdot}\sqrt{m}$에 이르렀으며 강도 값도 약 20% 상승하였다. 그러나 큰 SiC 입자의 첨가로 인해 TiC 입자만 첨가된 $Al_2O_3$/TiC 복합체보다는 강도가 다소 낮았다. 또한 SiC 입자만 첨가된 $Al_2O_3$/SiC 복합체보다는 파괴인성이 다소 낮았는데, 이는 작은 TiC 입자들이 SiC 입계를 거칠게 만들어 균열접속을 일으키는 SiC 입자의 뽑힘 현상을 방해하였기 때문이다.

In this study, a specification for the filter system of plastic board drain using in korea. When PBDs was installed in the soft ground, bridging, blocking, blinding and clogging phenomena could be appeared near the PBD. Especially, clogging phenomena near the filter of PBD is very important factor to determine the life span of the vertical drainage system. Therefore, in this study, we proposed the specification on the filter of PBD considering the size of soil particle. To verify the proposed specification, model tests were conducted by using filter seepage tester. From the model test, newly proposed specification which considered the size of soil particle maintained the ability of seepage of the filter system of PBD.
