고무는 금속 및 플라스틱 재료와 달리 작은 하중에서도 큰 변형이 발생되며, 높은 변형 구간에서 탄성특성을 보이는 특징이 있다. 특히 충격흡수 특성이 금속 및 플라스틱보다 우수하므로 제진 및 충격 완충구조물로 널리 활용되고 있다. 충격하중을 받는 고무 구조물의 특성을 평가하기 위하여 자유 낙하형 충격시험기를 이용하여 충격실험을 실시하였으며, ABAQUS/Explicit를 이용하여 유한요소 해석을 수행하였다. 고무의 동강성은 충격펄스의 최대변형량과 충격지속시간으로부터 얻어진 진폭과 주파수를 적용하여 동특성 시험을 수행하고 WLF모델을 적용하여 높은 주파수 대역의 동강성을 예측하였다. 실험을 실시한 $0.3{\sim}l.5J$의 충격에너지 영역에서는 고무의 경도가 증가되면 충격흡수율이 감소되며, 충격에너지가 커질수록 충격흡수율은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.

The objective of this study was to present a damped pneumatic suspension, a bike fork suspension, which can adapt itself to incoming road excitations is presented in this paper. It consists of a hydraulic damper and a pneumatic spring in parallel with a linear spring. The study also proposed a variable and switchable orifice, in the hydraulic damper, to select appropriate damping property. Hydraulic-pneumatic circuit model for the bike fork suspension was established based on AMESim, in order to predict its performance. In addition, elastic-damping characteristics of the fork such as spring constant and viscous damping coefficient were computed and compared, for validation, with those evaluated by experiment using the universal test machine. Through simulation analysis and test, it was established that the hydraulic-pneumatic circuit model is effective and practical for development of future MTB suspensions.

We have investigated biological responses to radiofrequency (RF) radiation in in vitro and in vivo models. By measuring the levels of heat shock proteins as well as the activation of mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs), we could not detect any differences upon RF exposure. In this study, we used more sensitive method to find the molecular responses to RF radiation. Jurkat, human T-Iymphocyte cells were exposed to 1763 MHz RF radiation at an average specific absorption rate (SAR) of 10 W/kg for one hour and harvested immediately (R0) or after five hours (R5). From the profiles of 30,000 genes, we selected 68 differentially expressed genes among sham (S), R0 and R5 groups using a random-variance F-test. Especially 45 annotated genes were related to metabolism, apoptosis or transcription regulation. Based on support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, we designed prediction model using 68 genes to discriminate three groups. Our prediction model could predict the target class of 19 among 20 examples exactly (95% accuracy). From these data, we could select the 68 biomarkers to predict the RF radiation exposure with high accuracy, which might need to be validated in in vivo models.

Stainless steel is used in automobile muffler and exhaust systems. However, in comparison with other steels it has a high thermal expansion rate and low thermal conductivity, and undergoes excessive thermal deformation after welding. To address this problem, we evaluated the use of arc brazing in place of welding for the processing of an exhaust system, and investigated the parameters that affect the joint characteristics. Muffler parts STS439 and hot-dipped Al coated steel were used as test specimens, and CuAl brazing wire was used as the filler metal for the cold metal transfer (CMT) welding machine, which is a low heat input arc welder. In addition, a Box-Behnken design of experiment was used, which is a response surface methodology. The main process parameters (current, speed, and torch angle) were used to determine the appropriate welding quality and the mechanical properties of the brazing part was evaluated at the optimal welding condition. The optimal processing condition for arc brazing was 135A current, 51cm/min speed and $74^{\circ}$ torch angle. The process was applied to an actual exhaust system muffler and the prototype was validated by thermal fatigue, thermal shock, and endurance limit tests.

Optical disk technology with a laser beam for data recording and retrieval is one of the most promising route for high density information storage in multimedia era. As the storage density and data transfer rates are increased, mechanical issues, mainly noise and vibration, become critical. Rubber materials are extensively used in various machine design application, mainly for vibration/shock/noise control devices. Over the years an enormous effort has been put into developing procedures to provide properties of rubber components with complex shape and under pre-deformed state. In this paper, non-linear large deformations of a rubber mount for optical disk drive were investigated using the finite element method. A tension test of rubber material was performed, to calculate a strain energy function. According to the pre-deformed state, the variation of rubber mount stiffness were calculated and the reliability of numerical results were checked by compared with the measuring the deflection values. Also, the effects of the pre-deformed rubber mount on the system dynamic characteristics were investigated and the relation between the static stiffness variation of rubber mount and the natural frequence variation of system was discussed.

에폭시 수지는 취성(brittleness)으로 인한 기계적 강도의 저하가 발생하고 금속 등과 같이 열팽창 계수가 다른 재료와 결합하여 함께 사용하는 경우에 열변형 차이 때문에 부품의 박리나 부분 손상 등이 일어나는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 복합재료의 기계적 강도 및 열안정성을 높이기 위하여 아민기를 가진 실란 커플링제를 이용하여 표면 처리한 실리카 입자를 에폭시 수지에 첨가하여 강화된 복합재료 시편을 제조한 에폭시 복합재료 시편을 대상으로 분산의 적절성을 확인하고 기계적 특성과 열적 물성을 평가하고자 하였다. 함량 변화에 따른 기계적 특성 변화를 UTM으로 인장강도를 측정한 결과 30-50 MPa의 인장강도 값을 보였다. 실리카 입자가 에폭시 수지 내에 함량에 따라 분산된 정도를 비교하기 위해 SEM 및 EDS 분석을 수행하였다. TMA 분석을 통하여 열팽창계수 및 유리전이온도를 확인하였으며 열충격 실험을 통하여 에폭시 복합소재의 내열안정성을 평가하였다.
