The critical buckling temperature rise of a newly proposed piezoelectrically active sandwich plate (ASP) has been investigated in this work. This structure includes a porous polymeric layer integrated between two piezoelectric nanocomposite layers. The piezoelectric material is made of a passive polymeric material that is activated by lead-free nanowires (NWs) of zinc oxide (ZnO) embedded inside the matrix. In both nanocomposite layers and porous core, functional graded (FG) patterns have been considered for the distributions of ZnO NWs and voids, respectively. By adopting a higher-order theory of plates, the governing equations of thermal buckling are obtained. This set of equations is then treated using an extended mesh-free solution. The effects of plate dimensions, porosity states, and the nanowire parameters have been investigated on the critical buckling temperature rises of the proposed lightweight ASPs with different boundary conditions. The results disclose that the use of porosities in the core and/or mixing ZnO NWs in the face sheets substantially arise the critical buckling temperatures of the newly proposed active sandwich plates.

The nonlinear snap-through buckling of functionally graded (FG) carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) curved tubes is analytically investigated in this research. It is assumed that the FG-CNTRC curved tube is supported on a three-parameter nonlinear elastic foundation and is subjected to the uniformly distributed pressure and thermal loads. Properties of the curved nanocomposite tube are distributed across the radius of the pipe and are given by means of a refined rule of mixtures approach. It is also assumed that all thermomechanical properties of the nanocomposite tube are temperature-dependent. The governing equations of the curved tube are obtained using a higher-order shear deformation theory, where the traction free boundary conditions are satisfied on the top and bottom surfaces of the tube. The von Kármán type of geometrical non-linearity is included into the formulation to consider the large deflection in the curved tube. Equations of motion are solved using the two-step perturbation technique for nanocomposite curved tubes which are simply-supported and clamped. Closed-form expressions are provided to estimate the snap-buckling resistance of FG-CNTRC curved pipes rested on nonlinear elastic foundation in thermal environment. Numerical results are given to explore the effects of the distribution pattern and volume fraction of CNTs, thermal field, foundation stiffnesses, and geometrical parameters on the instability of the curved nanocomposite tube.

본 연구에서는 해결방안으로 내부 콘크리트를 강섬유와 혼입하여 기둥자체의 연성과 인성을 증대시키는 것에 중점을 맞추고 있다. 즉, 강섬유 혼입량과 하중조건에 따른 내력 및 변형능력을 종합적으로 파악하여 강섬유 콘크리트와 용접조립각형 강관기둥의 상호작용을 구조, 내화측면에서 분석해 보고자 한다. 동일한 형상과 경계조건(하중비)에서 강섬유 혼입(0.375%)으로 내화성능은 약 1.1~1.3배 향상된 실험결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 강섬유 콘크리트의 균열 억제 특성은 열 하중에 의한 콘크리트의 변형저항 성능을 증가 시키면서 내화성능의 향상을 가져온 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 내부 리브의 열 변형에도 내부 콘크리트 단면은 건전한 상태로 남아있어 하중 분담능력이 증폭된 결과로 분석됐다.

건축용 내화강재가 적용된 양단 고정단 보부재의 고온 시 최대 내력과 처짐을 해석적으로 평가하였으며, 이 결과를 일반강재 적용 정정 보부재와의 비교평가를 통하여 안전성을 평가한 결과, 건축용 내화강재 적용 부정정 보부재의 내화성능을 일반 강재 정정 보부재로 평가되는 것은 안전측이었으며, 부재길이가 길어지면 처짐의 증대와 최대 내력의 감소가 유발되는 등 이에 대한 보완책이 요구되는 것으로 나타났다.

Silicon nitride is one of the most successful engineering ceramics, owing to a favorable combination of properties, including high strength, high hardness, low thermal expansion coefficient, and high fracture toughness. However, the impact damage behavior of $Si_3N_4$ ceramics has not been widely characterized. In this study, sphere and explosive indentations were used to characterize the static and dynamic damage behavior of $Si_3N_4$ ceramics with different microstructures. Three grades of $Si_3N_4$ with different grain size and shape, fine-equiaxed, medium, and coarse-elongated, were prepared. In order to observe the subsurface damaged zone, a bonded-interface technique was adopted. Subsurface damage evolution of the specimens was then characterized extensively using optical and electron microscopy. It was found that the damage response depends strongly on the microstructure of the ceramics, particularly on the glassy grain boundary phase. In the case of static indentation, examination of subsurface damage revealed competition between brittle and ductile damage modes. In contrast to static indentation results, dynamic indentation induces a massive subsurface yield zone that contains severe micro-failures. In this study, it is suggested that the weak glassy grain boundary phase plays an important role in the resistance to dynamic fracture.

약 10%이하의 Pt 또는 Ir 첨가시켜 니켈모노실리싸이드를 고온에서 안정화 시키는 것이 가능한지 확인하기 위해서 활성화영역을 가정한 단결정 실리콘 웨이퍼와 게이트를 상정한 폴리 실리콘 웨이퍼 전면에 Ni, Pt, Ir을 열증착기로 성막하여 10 nm-Ni/l nm-Pt/(poly)Si, 10 nm-Ni/l nm-Ir/(poly)Si 구조를 만들었다. 준비된 시편을 쾌속 열처리기를 이용하여 40초간 실리사이드화 열처리 온도를 $300^{\circ}C{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 변화시켜 두께 50nm의 실리사이드를 완성하였다. 완성된 Pt와 Ir이 첨가된 니켈실리사이드의 온도별 전기저항변화, 두께변화, 표면조도변화, 상변화, 성분변화를 각각 사점전기저항측정기와 광발산주사전자현미경, 주사탐침현미경, XRD와 Auger depth profiling으로 각각 확인하였다. Pt를 첨가한 결과 기판 종류에 관계없이 기존의 니켈실리사이드 공정에 의한 NiSi와 비교하여 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상의 NiSi 안정화 구역을 넓히는 효과는 없었고 면저항이 커지는 문제가 있었다. Ir을 삽입한 경우는 단결정 실리콘 기판에서는 $500^{\circ}C$ 이상에서의 NiSi와 동일하게 $1200^{\circ}C$까지 안정한 저저항을 보여서 Ir이 효과적으로 Ni(Ir)Si 형태로 $NiSi_{2}$로의 상변태를 적극적으로 억제하는 특성을 보이고 있었고, 다결정 기판에서는 $850^{\circ}C$까지 효과적으로 NiSi의 고온 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

Hydrogen-delayed fracture (HDF) was analyzed from the deposited weld metals of 600-MPa and 800-MPa flux-cored arc (FCA) welding wires, and then from the diffusible hydrogen behavior of the weld zone. Two types of deposited weld metal, that is, rutile weld metal and alkali weld metal, were used for each strength level. Constant loading test (CLT) and thermal desorption spectrometry (TDS) analysis were conducted on the hydrogen pre-charged specimens electrochemically for 72 h. The effects of microstructures such as acicular ferrite, grain-boundary ferrite, and low-temperature-transformation phase on the time-to-failure and amount of diffusible hydrogen were analyzed. The fracture time for hydrogen-purged specimens in the constant loading tests decreased as the grain size of acicular ferrite decreased. The major trapping site for diffusible hydrogen was the grain boundary, as determined by calculating the activation energies for hydrogen detrapping. As the strength was increased and alkali weld metal was used, the resistance to HDF decreased.

The characteristic of tellurium thin films was studied for detecting nitrogen dioxide gas at room temperature. The film was deposited on $Al_{2}O_{3}$ substrate by using thermal evaporator. The subsequent process was heat treatment by several conditions. (temperature, flowed gases) Surface and grain boundary was investigated using SEM. The results showed that resistance of the tellurium film decreases reversibly in the presence of nitrogen dioxide. The sensitivity of this device depends on the gas concentration and detect lower concentrations less than 10 ppm.

Multi-level thin films are very important in ULSI applications because of their high electromigration resistance. This study presents the effects of titanium, titanium nitride and titanium tungsten underlayers of the stability of multi-aluminum thin films during isothermal annealing. High purity Al(99.999%) films have been electron-beam evaporated on Ti, TiN, TiW films formed on SiO2/Si (P-type(100))-wafer substrates by RF-sputtering in Ar gas ambient. The hillock growth was increased with annealing temperatures. Growth of hillocks was observed during isothermal annealing of the thin films by scanning electron microscopy. The hillock growth was believed to appear due to the recrystallization process driven by stress relaxation during isothermal annealing. Thermomigration damage was also presented in thin films by grain boundary grooving processes. It is shown that underlayers of Al/TiN/SiO2, Al/TiW/SiO2 thin films are preferrable to Al/SiO2 thin film metallization.

We investigated grain boundary effect for terrestrial applications of solar cell\ulcorner with low cost, large area, and high efficiency. Grain boundaries are known as potential barriers and recombination centers for the photo-generated charge carriers, which make it difficult to achieve a high efficiency cell. To reduce these effects of grain boundaries, we investigated various influencing factors such as thermal treatments, various grid patterns, selective wet etchings for grain boundaries, buried contact metallizations along grain boundaries, and use of metallic thin films. From the various grid patterns we learned that the series resistance of solar cell reduced open circuit voltage and consequently decreased the cell efficiency. This paper describes the effect of various grid patterns and the employment of metallic thin films for a top electrode.
