Chromium nitride (CrN) samples with two different layer structures (multilayer and single layer) were coated on bipolar plates of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) using the reactive sputtering method. The effects with respect to layer structure on corrosion resistance and overall cell performance were investigated. A continuous and thin chromium nitride layer ($Cr_{0.48}\;N_{0.52}$) was formed on the surface of the SUS 316L when the nitrogen flow rate was 10 sccm. The electrochemical stability of the coated layers was examined using the potentiodynamic and potentiostatic methods in the simulated corrosive circumstances of the PEMFC under $80^{\circ}C$. Interfacial contact resistance (ICR) between the CrN coated sample and the gas diffusion layer was measured by using Wang's method. A single cell performance test was also conducted. The test results showed that CrN coated SUS316L with multilayer structure had excellent corrosion resistance compared to single layer structures and single cell performance results with $25\;cm^2$ in effective area also showed the same tendency. The difference of the electrochemical properties between the single and multilayer samples was attributed to the Cr interlayer layer, which improved the corrosion resistance. Because the coating layer was damaged by pinholes, the Cr layer prevented the penetration of corrosive media into the substrate. Therefore, the CrN with a multilayer structure is an effective coating method to increase the corrosion resistance and to decrease the ICR for metallic bipolar plates in PEMFC.

Modal analysis method (MAM) is introduced for the fully coupled structural dynamic problems. In this paper, the beam with active constrained layered damping (ACLD) treatment is considered as a representative problem. The ACLD beam consists of a viscoelastic layer that is sandwiched between the base beam structure and an active piezoelectric layer. The exact damped natural modes are spectrally formulated from a set of fully coupled dynamic equations of motion. The orthogonality property of the exact damped natural modes is then derived in a closed form to complete the modal analysis method. The accuracy of the present MAM is evaluated through some illustrative examples: the dynamic characteristics obtained by the present MAM are compared with the results by spectral element method (SEM) and finite element method (FEM). It is numerically proved that MAM solutions become identical to the accurate SEM solutions as the number of exact natural used in MAM is increased.

A method to predict the three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer on ship forms is introduced. The present differential method is in the scope of thin boundary layer theory and adopting the eddy-viscosity turbulence model. Two different numerical schemes are taken in this paper to handle the sign-changing cross-flows. The method is applied to predict the boundary layer development on real ship forms; SSPA Model 720($C_B$=0.675) and HSVA Tanker Model($C_B$=0.85). The results are qualitatively in good agreements with measurements except at the very stern. Therefore the method seems to be very promising if further developments are accomplished to handle the thick stern boundary layer effectively.

A method for repairing cracks using low-viscosity resins has been proposed as a construction method that can quickly repair roads from deterioration. However, when the viscosity of the epoxy resin is high, there is a limit in that it is difficult for the material to penetrate into microcracks and cracks in the concrete top plate. In this study, an epoxy thin-layer pavement repair method was developed using low-viscosity PMMA (Poly methyl methacrylate) to repair microcracks on the pavement surface and pavement layer and reinforce the pavement surface. Materials necessary for the thin-layer packaging method were developed, and performance was evaluated to meet the epoxy binder quality standards. As a result, all materials met the required performance.

Encapsulation is required since organic materials used in OLED devices are fragile to water vapor and oxygen. Laser sealing method is currently used where IR laser is scanned along the glass-frit coated lines. Laser method is, however, not suitable to encapsulating large-sized glass substrate due to the nature of sequential scanning. In this work we propose a new method of encapsulation using Joule heating. Conductive layer is patterned along the sealing lines on which the glass frit is screen printed and sintered. Electric field is then applied to the conductive layer resulting in bonding both the panel glass and the encapsulation glass by melting glass-frit. In order to obtain uniform bonding the temperature of a conductive layer having a shape of closed loop should be uniform. In this work we conducted simulation for heat distribution according to the structure of a conductive layer used as a Joule-heat source. Uniform temperature was obtained with an error of 5% by optimizing the structure of a conductive layer. Based on the results of thermal simulations we concluded that Joule-heating induced encapsulation would be a good candidate for encapsulation method especially for large area glass substrate.

In many of microdevices a part of a microbeam is covered by a piezoelectric layer. Depend on the application a DC or AC voltage is applied between upper and lower side of the piezoelectric layer. A common method in many of previous works for evaluating the response of these structures is discretizing by Galerkin method. In these works often single mode shape of a uniform microbeam i.e. the microbeam without piezoelectric layer has been used as comparison function, and so the convergence of the solution has not been verified. In this paper the Galerkin method is used for discretization, and a comprehensive analysis on the convergence of solution of equation that is discretized using this comparison function is studied for both clamped-clamped and clamped-free microbeams. The static and dynamic solution resulted from Galerkin method is compared to the modal expansion solution. In addition the static solution is compared to an exact solution. It is denoted that the required numbers of uniform microbeam mode shapes for convergence of static solution due to DC voltage depends on the position and thickness of deposited piezoelectric layer. It is shown that when the clamped-clamped microbeam is coated symmetrically by piezoelectric layer, then the convergence for static solution may be obtained using only first mode. This result is valid for clamped-free case when it is covered by piezoelectric layer from left clamped side to the right. It is shown that when voltage is AC then the number of required uniform microbeam shape mode for convergence is much more than the number of required mode in modal expansion due to the dynamic effect of piezoelectric layer. This difference increases by increasing the piezoelectric thickness, the closeness of the excitation frequency to natural frequency and decreasing the damping coefficient. This condition is often indefeasible in microresonator system. It is concluded that discreitizing the equation of motion using one mode shape of uniform microbeam as comparison function in many of previous works causes considerable errors.

세션간 공유 대역폭의 공정성을 위한 연구로 LVMPD(Layered Video Multicast with Priority Dropping)가 있다. 이 기법은 어느 한 세션에서 혼잡 발생 시 공정성에 의해 혼잡이 없는 다른 세션의 최상위 레이어도 같이 드롭된다. 따라서, 혼잡이 없는 세션은 여분의 대역폭이 있음에도 불구하고 대역폭을 효율적으로 사용하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 공정성에 의해 발생하는 여분의 대역폭을 효율적으로 사용하기 위한 분배 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법에서는 현재 수신자가 수신하는 최상위 레이어와 요구하는 상위 레이어를 고려하였다. 송신자는 수신자가 혼잡상태 일 때 패킷 제거 우선순위를 부여하고, 혼잡이 없는 세션의 수신자가 상위 레이어를 요구 시 레이어 추가/드롭 플래그에 값을 부여한다. 스위치는 패킷 제거 우선순위가 부여된 패킷을 제거하고, 혼잡이 없는 세션을 위해 레이어 추가/드롭 플래그가 부여된 패킷을 전송한다. 따라서, 혼잡이 없는 세션의 수신자들이 상위 레이어를 추가할 수 있도록 하였다. 실험결과, 제안 기법이 기존 기법보다 세션간 공유 대역폭을 효율적으로 사용함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper describes a new technique for thickness measurement of a very thin layer less than one-quarter of the wavelength of ultrasonic wave used in the ultrasonic pulse-echo measurements. The technique determines the thickness of a thin layer in a tapered medium from constructive interference of multiple reflection waves. The interference characteristics are derived and investigated in theoretical and experimental approaches. Modified total reflection wave g(t) defined as difference between total and first reflection waves increases in amplitude as the interfacial layer thickness decreases down to zero. A layer thickness less than one-tenth of the ultrasonic wavelength is measured using the maximum amplitude of g(t) with a good accuracy and sensitivity. The method also requires no inversion process to extract the thickness information from the waveforms of reflected waves, so that it makes possible to have the on-line thickness measurement of a thin layer such as a lubricating oil film in thrust bearings and journal bearings during manufacturing process.

The flexural vibration of laminated composite beams with active and passive constrained layer damping has been investigated to design a structure with maximum possible damping capacity. The equations of motion are derived fro flexural vibrations of symmetrical,. multi-layer laminated beams. The damping ratio and model damping of the first bending mode are calculated by means of iterative complex eigensolution method. The direct negative velocity feedback control is used for the active constrained layer damping. It is shown that the flexible laminated beam is more effective in the vibration control for both active and passive constrained layer damping. and this paper addresses a design strategy of laminated composite under flexural vibrations with constrained layer damping.

Nondestructive nonlinear acoustic method in two dimensions is suggested as a useful tool for detecting defects in a composite layer-structured material. Spectrum level changes in fundamental and harmonic frequencies are observed in the presence of a layer type defect compared with in the absence of such a defect. It is proposed in this study that such spectrum changes we due to the mode conversion. The layer type defect makes different normal modes due to different boundary conditions in the thickness direction for the Lamb waves propagating in a layer-structured material. Specifically, the normal mode with the fundamental frequency in the case of the water-layer gap is converted to the normal mode with the second harmonic frequency in the case of the air-layer gap.
