In this study, the displacement dependence, strength, and energy dissipation capacity of the steel rod damper were evaluated. The test variables are the number of steel rod dampers and the lateral deformation prevention details. From test results, it was evaluated that the displacement dependence conditions in the structural design code were satisfied. The maximum strength and energy dissipation capacity increased linearly as the number of steel rod increased. In addition, the maximum strength and energy dissipation capacity were evaluated by more than 20 times increased by using of the lateral deformation prevention details.

The effect of texture of an extruded OFHC Cu rod on its sliding wear has been explored. Disk specimens with three different orientations were machined from the Cu rod for the wear test; surfaces of the disk were perpendicular ($0^{\circ}$), inclined with a specific angle ($45^{\circ}$), and parallel ($90^{\circ}$) to the extrusion axis of the rod. The texture was analyzed using an X-ray goniometer by measuring {111}, {200}, and {220} pole figures of each specimen. The analyzed texture was correlated with wear-test results of the Cu specimen. Dry sliding wear tests were performed at room temperature using a pin-on-disk wear tester against an Al2O3 ball. Applied load, sliding distance, sliding speed were fixed as 20 N, 200 m, and 0.5 m/sec, respectively. The $45^{\circ}$-inclined (to the extrusion axis) disk specimen showed the lowest wear resistance with the least data scatters. It has been found that distribution of cube texture strongly influences wear rate of the extruded Cu rod.

The theoretical and analytical studies on dynamic signals(force and acceleration signals) measured at SPT rod are actively made. In this paper, the characteristics of stress wave(force signals) in SPT rod were studied experimentally using model rod system. It was noted that the amplitude ratios of reflected wave over incident wave in different end conditions were well matched with theoretical results. The impedance of soil could be determined if the characteristics of incident and reflected waves could be evaluated quantitatively in situ SPT test. On the other hand, the results of model tests showed that the effect of reflected wave caused by side friction was negligible, and therefore, the analysis model considering only end resistance of sampler could be applicable in dynamic analysis of SPT.

The connecting rod big-end bearing is one of the most heavily loaded components of the lubrication system of high-speed combustion engines. The supply oil flow has to pass to the main bearing and the rotating crankshaft before entering the connecting rod bearing. It is common knowledge that the centrifugal forces due to the crankshaft rotation influence the oil flow to connecting rod bearing through the oil supply bore, especially, when the oil supply system to the connecting rod bearing has a 180$^{\circ}$circumferential groove via a single drilling in the crankshaft. In this case, it should be confirmed that the groove oil pressure in the main bearing is sufficient to overcome these centrifugal forces. For the purpose, the dynamic oil pressure before entering oil supply bore to the connecting rod bearing was measured instead of averaged oil pressure in main gallery. Experimental test results show that the dynamic oil pressure in the oil groove was more useful than that of main gallery. And it was also found that the oil pressure fluctuation in the groove was sensitively affected by the reduction of the main bearing clearance.

The authors have developed two devices which cuts the spend fuel rod to an optimal size and extracts fuel pellet from the pieces of cut fuel rods. These devices are so important to reduce radioactive wastes that some advanced countries developed their own methods and devices. The authors have benchmarked from these methods and devices. For spent fuel rod cutting, the tube cutting method has been chosen. some mechanical properties of the fuel tube and pellet has been carefully considered for an optimal cutting size. For fuel pellet extraction, a mechanically extracting method has been adopted. The existing chemical method have turned out to be inappropriate because it produced large amount of radioactive wastes, in spite of its high fuel recovery characteristics. The developed method has an advantage that it can be applied to other fuel rods that have different shapes and sizes. The two devices are set up and operated in the hot cell where people can not go in, so that the devices have been designed to be controlled remotely and modulated for easy maintenance. And the performance of the devices has been tested by using simulated fuel rod. From the experimental results, the devices are supposed to be useful for reducing radioactive wastes.

A new type of a fretting wear tester has been designed and developed in order to simulate the actual vibration behavior of a nuclear fuel rod for springs/dimples in room temperature. When considering the actual contact condition between fuel rod and spring/dimple, if fretting wear progress due to the flow-induced vibration (FIV) under a specific normal load exerted on the fuel rod by the elastic deformation of the spring, the contacting force between the fuel rod and dimple that were located in the opposite side should be decreased. Consequently, the evaluation of developed spacer grids against fretting wear damage should be performed with the results of a cell unit experiments because the contacting force is one of the most important variables that influence to the fretting wear mechanism. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of fretting test rig in order to simulate the actual contact condition. In this paper, the development procedure of a new fretting wear tester and its performance were discussed in detail.

This study was conducted to investigated the feasibility of using a fused borate rod for the remedial treatment, using pine specimens decayed by Tyromyces palustris and Gloeophyllum trabeum. The borate rod appears to be a useful remedial product for eliminating as well as preventing decay. However, the easiness of retention gradient of boron according to the distance from a rod treatment site, is required for more effective treatment. The effect of the extension of diffusion period and rod size on retention gradient of boron should be fully investigated for successful remedial treatments using borate rod.

Torsional characteristics of nonuniform circular waveguides were studied experimentally by using an in-plane laser vibrometer. The circumferential displacement along the axis of a rod was measured as a response of the torsional oscillation excited at one end of the rod. The experimental results obtained for a stepped circular rod and a conically-tapered rod were compared with theoretical predictions. The results of this paper show the possibility of using the in-plane laser vibrometer for the measurement of torsional vibrations.

박막 태양전지의 광흡수를 증가시키기 위한 방법으로 나노 사이즈의 구조체를 이용하는 방법들이 주목받고 있다. 나노 구조체로 인한 광 산란 효과는 광 흡수층에서 빛의 흡수를 높여 태양전지의 변환효율을 높일 수 있다. 3차원 구조체를 제작하는 기존의 방법들은 대면적 기판에 적용이 어렵고, 비용적 측면 등의 문제점들이 있다. 본 연구에서는 대면적화가 가능한 나노 임프린트 리소그래피 방법을 이용하여 Ag nano rod 패턴을 제작하였다. 임프린트 공정 중 UV 조사시간, 가해지는 하중, 기판온도 등의 변수들과, 건식 이온 식각 시 변수들을 조절하여 최적화된 3차원 rod 패턴을 형성할 수 있었다. 그림 1은 형성된 Ag rod 패턴의 SEM 측정 사진이다. 전극 폭 300 nm, 간격 300 nm로 제조된 rod는 Ag의 두께를 조절함으로써 전기, 광학적 특성을 조절할 수 있었다. 3차원 Ag nano rod를 박막 태양전지의 전, 후면 전극으로 사용하여 태양전지의 특성변화를 분석하였다.

In this study, the stiffness of spatially reinforced composites (SRC) are predicted by using superposition of a rod and matrix stiffnesses in an arbitrary direction. To confirm the predicted values, the material properties of SRC are measured. The predicted values from the volume average of stiffness matrix are consistent with the tested values in a rod direction, but are inconsistent in an off-rod direction while reverse is true fur the volume average of compliance matrix. Therefore, the harmony function from superposition of stiffness and compliance matrix is introduced. The predicted values from the harmony function are consistent with the tested values in both the rod and the off-rod directions.
