This paper presents a linear computational homogenization framework to evaluate the effective (or generalized) electromechanical coupling coefficient (EMCC) of adaptive structures with piezoelectric structural fiber (PSF) composite elements. The PSF consists of a silicon carbide (SiC) or carbon core fiber as reinforcement to a fragile piezo-ceramic shell. For the micro-scale analysis, a micromechanics model based on the variational asymptotic method for unit cell homogenization (VAMUCH) is used to evaluate the overall electromechanical properties of the PSF composites. At the macro-scale, a finite element (FE) analysis with the commercial FE code ABAQUS is performed to evaluate the effective EMCC for structures with the PSF composite patches. The EMCC is postprocessed from free-vibrations analysis under short-circuit (SC) and open-circuit (OC) electrodes of the patches. This linear two-scale computational framework may be useful for the optimal design of active structure multi-functional composites which can be used for multi-functional applications such as structural health monitoring, power harvest, vibration sensing and control, damping, and shape control through anisotropic actuation.

고효율의 에너지 변환 및 친환경적인 이점들을 이유로, 고분자전해질 연료전지(PEMFC)는 차세대 에너지 장치로 이목을 끌어왔다. 반면, 값비싼 백금 촉매의 이용은 연료전지의 상업적 이용에 주요한 결점으로 작용했다. 최근, Zelenay와 연구팀은 폴리아닐린-철-탄소 복합체구조에서 산소환원활성이 백금과 견주어 비슷한 성능을 낼 수 있음을 보고 하였다. Dodelet은 이러한 높은 성능이 전이금속의 영향에 의한 것일 수 있다는 주장을 하였다. 본 연구팀은 지난 연구에서 제일원리전산모사를 통해 니켈, 코발트, 구리등과 같은 전이금속이 질소가 도핑된 탄소 그래핀층에 미치는 거동을 밝혔다. 결론적으로, 금속들은 질소가 도핑된 그래핀의 전자구조를 바꿀 수 있고, 이러한 전자구조의 변화는 산소 환원반응에서 긍정적으로 작용할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 이론적 연구에 기반하여, 탄소층으로 감싼 금속은 내구성과 활성을 동시에 보유한 향후 전망있는 촉매 물질로 예상되어진다. 특히, 질소가 도핑된 탄소층으로 코팅된 철-코발트 합금은 계산을 통해 산소환원반응에서 우수할 것으로 예측되었다. 본 연구팀은 FeCo@N-C 나노입자를 직접 합성하였고, 이 촉매의 우수한 활성을 전기화학적, 구조적 관점에서 1) 질소의 도핑 효과, 2) 탄소의 두께 효과, 3) 합금효과에 집중하여 분석하였다.

Spatial variation of heavy metal accumulation was investigated in Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum collected from several tidal flats. Sediment metal levels varied highly among the sites, which was attributed primarily to differences in Fe and organic carbon contents and in part to gain size. Significant differences in metal concentrations also were found in the clam tissue among the different sampling sites. However, except for a few metals (Mn, Zn, Pb), which showed some elevation, the variations in the clam tissue were not related to the variations in the sediment. This is likely because most metals in filter-feeding herbivores such as R. philippinarum accumulated as a result of feeding on suspended particles such as phytoplankton and organic detritus in the water column, not in bottom sediment. In addition, tissue weight for a specific shell size varied significantly among the sites, and increased tissue mass indicating a good nutritive condition likely caused a subsequent dilution of body metals leading to reduced weight-specific concentrations of some metals (Cd, Zn, Cu, Co).

NiTi alloy known as its shape memory effect also has superelastic characteristic, which makes it possible to be elastic under large deformation. Since the tensile strength of the alloy is very high and density is low compared to carbon steel, it can be applied to lightweight structural design. In order to design structures with shape memory alloy, finite element analysis is used and a constitutive algorithm based on Aurrichio's model is added to LS-DYNA as a user subroutine. Explicit time integration and shell element formulation are used to simulate thin-walled structures. The algorithm uses Drucker-Prager type loading condition to calculate martensite volume fraction during the transformation. The implemented algorithm is verified in uni-axial loading condition and martensite phase transformation can be detected well with the algorithm. In this study, as a energy absorbing structure, thin-walled tube is modeled with finite elements and the deformation behavior is studied. Simulation results has shown that the martensite transformation was generated in loading condition. After plastic deformation reached, the load decreases linearly without reverse martensite transformation.

It is very important to determine the age of the Cultural Properties in archeology. In about 1950, W.F. Libby and a team of scientists at the University of Chicago developed the Radiocarbon Dating technique. Radiocarbon($^14$C) Dating is probably one of the most widely used and best known absolute dating methods. Radiocarbon ages are conventionally specified to the year 1950. This year is 0 BP year. BP is the initial of Before Present. The $^14$C within an organism is continually decaying into stable carbon isotopes. When $^14$C decays, it emits a $\beta$ - particle with an energy content of 156 KeV and becomes 14N. Only the $\beta$ - particle is detected by Liquid Scintillation Counting. $^14$C has a half life of 5730 years. It has been used to date samples as old as 50,000 years. Radiocarbon determinations can be obtained on organic material : wood, charcoal, shell, etc. The results of radiocarbon dating using Benzene Synthesizer and Liquid Scintillation Counter are KCP539 $4030\pm60$BP year, KCP540 $3980\pm60$BP year, KCP575 $4870\pm50$, KCP576 $100\pm50$BP year, KCP577 $130\pm50$BP yea and KCP578 $210\pm70$BP year.

One of the objectives of this study were to develop a process for manufacturing activated carbons from agricultural by-products(rice shells and saw dust) and another is to measure the iodine number, ash content and removal ratio of COD. The other is to compare those values with those of commercialized activated carbons. Agricultural by-products based activated carbons were manufactured through the steam-reaction method. A rotary kiln type furnace was used for both carbonization and activation. The optimum operating temperatures for carbonization and activation were $650^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$, respectively. For the activated carbons produced under these conditions, the iodine number was 1,127mg/g. Especially, removal efficiency of COD was 61.5% for 40mg/L of wastewater and 30% for 150mg/L of SLS(Sodium Lauryl Sulfate).

In the present study, modelling and vibration control of axially moving laminated Carbon nanotubes/fiber/polymer composite (CNTFPC) plate under initial tension are investigated. Orthotropic visco-Pasternak foundation is developed to consider the influences of orthotropy angle, damping coefficient, normal and shear modulus. The governing equations of the laminated CNTFPC plates are derived based on new form of first-order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT) which is simpler than the conventional one due to reducing the number of unknowns and governing equations, and significantly, it does not require a shear correction factor. Halpin-Tsai model is utilized to evaluate the material properties of two-phase composite consist of uniformly distributed and randomly oriented CNTs through the epoxy resin matrix. Afterwards, the structural properties of CNT reinforced polymer matrix which is assumed as a new matrix and then reinforced with E-Glass fiber are calculated by fiber micromechanics approach. Employing Hamilton's principle, the equations of motion are obtained and solved by Hybrid analytical numerical method. Results indicate that the critical speed of moving laminated CNTFPC plate can be improved by adding appropriate values of CNTs. These findings can be used in design and manufacturing of marine vessels and aircrafts.

This study was to evaluate the efficiency of diffusive monitor using activated carbon fiber(ACF, KF-1500) in measuring airborne organic solvents. The following characteristics were identified and studied as critical to the performance of diffusive monitor; recovery, sampling rate, face velocity, reverse diffusion and storage stability. For the evaluation of the performance of this monitor, MIBK, PCE, toluene were used as organic solvents. In the sampling rate experiments, eight kinds of solvents (n-hexane, MEK, DIBK, MCF, TCE, CB, xylene, cumene) as well as the above solvents were used. The results were as follows: 1. The desorption efficiencies(DE's) of ACF diffusive monitor ranged from 83 % to 101 %. In contrast, those of coconut shell charcoal ranged from 78 % to 102 %. Especially, the DE's of ACF for the polar solvents such as MEK were superior to those of charcoal. 2. Experimental sampling rates on ACF were average 42ml/min(37-46ml/min) for 11 organic solvents at $24{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, $50{\pm}5%RH$. However ideal sampling rates(DA/L) were 33 % higher than experimental sampling rates. 3. The initial response(15~16 min) of the testing monitor was 2 times higher than the actual concentration determined by the reference methods at $24{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, $8{\pm}5%RH$ and $80{\pm}5%RH$. Within 1 hours, the curve reached a linear horizontal line at low humidity condition. But sampling efficiencies decreased with respect to time at high humidity condition. And sampling efficiencies were higher at high humidity condition than low humidity condition for MIBK. 4. At very low velocity (less than 0.02 m/sec), the concentration of ACF diffusive monitor were poorly estimated. But ACF diffusive monitor were not affected at higher velocity(0.2 m/sec-0.6 m/sec). 5. There was no significant reverse diffusion when the ACF monitors were exposed to clean air for 2 hours after being exposed for 2 hours at the level of 1 TLV. 6. There was no significant sample loss during 3 weeks of storage at room temperature and 5 weeks of storage at refrigeration.

본 연구에서는 고용량 리튬이온배터리용 음극 소재로 탄소 코팅된 할로우 구조의 실리콘(HSi/C) 복합소재를 제조하였다. CTAB (N-Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide)이 첨가된 Stöber법을 통해 할로우 실리카(HSiO₂)를 합성하였으며, HSiO₂를 마그네슘열 환원한뒤 표면에탄소를 코팅하여 HSi/C 음극복합소재를 제조하였다. 복합소재의물리적 특성과 전기화학적 특성을 CTAB 조성에 따라 조사하였다. FE-SEM 분석 결과 CTAB 조성이 감소할수록 HSiO₂ 입자의 크기가 커졌으나 두께는 감소하였다. 제조된 HSi/C 소재는 다양한 CTAB 비율(0.5, 1.0, 1.5)에서 각각 2188.6, 2164.5, 1866.7 mAh/g의 높은 초기 방전용량을 나타내었으며, 100 사이클의 충·방전 후 0.5-HSi/C가 1171.3 mAh/g의 높은 가역 용량과 70.9%의 용량 유지율을 보여주었다. 전기화학 임피던스 분광법(Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, EIS)으로 저항 특성을 분석하였으며, 0.5-HSi/C 소재가 20 사이클 이후 다른 CTAB 조성의 HSi/C 복합소재에 비해 안정적인 저항 특성을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

폐 농업용 비닐을 이용한 연료유 생산 공정을 위한 저밀도폴리에틸렌(LDPE)과 에틸렌비닐아세테이트(EVA) 수지에 대한 열분해 반응 실험을 하였다. 질소 분위기에서 상온에서 $650^{\circ}C$까지의 비등온 조건에서의 열분석기(열중량분석기, 시차주사열량계)와 $420^{\circ}C$의 배치형 반응기에서 무촉매반응과 소성 백운석,소성 석회석, 소성 굴껍질 등의 칼슘계 촉매를 사용한 열분해가 행하여졌다. TGA 실험에서 가열속도에 따라서 LDPE의 열분해 개시온도는 $330{\sim}360^{\circ}C$로 변화되었다. EVA 수지는 $300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$의 1차분해영역과 $425{\sim}525^{\circ}C$의 2차분해 영역에서 열분해 되었다. LDPE 수지에 10% 칼슘계 촉매 첨가 시 소성백운석 첨가가 반응 속도를 증가시켰다. EVA 수지 열분해 실험에서는 칼슘계 촉매 첨가가 열분해 반응을 다소 지연시켰다. DSC 실험에서 칼슘계 촉매는 LDPE 수지 원료의 융해개시온도는 다소 낮추었지만 융해열에 대하여는 영향이 없었다. 소성백운석 첨가 시 열분해열을 20% 정도 감소시켰다. 회분식 반응기에서 소성백운석과 소성 석회석 첨가 시 연료유 생성 수율을 높였으나, 생성 연료유 내의 탄소 수 분포에는 큰 영향이 없었다.
