Micro gas turbines are designed with low turbine inlet temperature and pressure ratio. To overcome the efficiency defect of the simple cycle, adoption of the recuperator is an inevitable choice. In addition to the design performance, we should also pay attention to the off-design performance of gas turbines since they usually operate at part-load conditions lot a considerable amount of their lifetime. This study analyzes off-design performance characteristics of micro gas turbines and addresses the importance of the recuperation process doting the part load operation. Comparative analyses have been performed to evaluate the part load performance differences among various design and operating options : simple vs recuperative cycles, single vs two shaft configurations, various operating strategies for the single shaft configuration, and current vs advanced engines. Major finding is that maintaining high turbine exhaust temperature is crucial for efficient operation of micro gas turbines.

Solar cell has been considered as renewable green energy. Its silicon wafer thickness is thinner due to manufacturing cost and accordingly micro cracks is often generated in the process. Micro cracks result in bad quality of solar cell, and so their accurate and reliable detection is required. In this paper, near-infrared optics system is newly designed based on the analysis of near-infrared transmittance characteristics and its important parameters are optimally selected using the design of experiment for micro crack detection in solar cell wafer. The performance of the proposed method is verified using several experiments.

In addition to the design performance, we should also pay attention to the off-design performance of gas turbines since they usually operate at part-load conditions for a considerable amount of the time. This study aims at analyzing off-design performance characteristics of micro gas turbines and addressing the importance of the recuperator in the part load operation. Comparative analyses have been performed to evaluate the part load performance differences among various design and operating options : simple vs recuperative cycles, single vs two shaft configurations, various operating strategies for the single shaft configuration (fuel only control, variable speed operation, variable inlet guide vane control), and current vs advanced engines. Major finding is that maintaining turbine at high level is crucial in efficient operation of micro gas turbines.

With increasing the needs for micro and precision parts, micro machining technology has been studied to fabricate a small part with high density such as electronics, optics, communications, and medicine industry more than before. But there are many problems to be solved requiring a high-level technology. So this research presents the new method to fabricate a small part through applying chemical mechanical micro machining (C3M) for the Al wafer. Al(thickness I ,u m) was sputtered on the Si substrate. Al is widely used as a lightweight material. However form defect such as burr has a bad effect on products. To improve machinability of ductile material, oxide layer was formed on the surface of AI wafcr before grooving by chemical reaction with HN03(10wt%). And then workpieces were machined to compare conventional micro-machining process with newly suggested method at different machining condition such as load and feed rate. To evaluate whether or not the machinability was improved by the effect of chemical condition, such as the size, the width of grooves 'and burr generation were measured. Finally, it is confirmed that C3M is one of the feasible tools for micro machining with the aid of effect of the chemical reaction.

Purpose: This technical report aims to describe and detail the use of micro-computed tomography for a reliable evaluation of the bulk-fill composite/tooth interface. Materials and Methods: Bulk-fill composite restorations in tooth cavities were scanned using micro-computed tomography to obtain qualitatively and quantitatively valuable information. Two-dimensional information was processed using specific algorithms, and ultimately a 3-dimensional (3D) specimen reconstruction was generated. The 3D rendering allowed the visualization of voids inside bulk-fill composite materials and provided quantitative measurements. The 3D analysis software VG Studio MAX was used to perform image analysis and assess gap formation within the tooth-restoration interface. In particular, to evaluate internal adaptation, the Defect Analysis addon module of VG Studio Max was used. Results: The data, obtained with the processing software, highlighted the presence and the shape of gaps in different colours, representing the volume of porosity within a chromatic scale in which each colour quantitatively represents a well-defined volume. Conclusion: Micro-computed tomography makes it possible to obtain several quantitative parameters, providing fundamental information on defect shape and complexity. However, this technique has the limit of not discriminating materials without radiopacity and with low or no filler content, such as dental adhesives, and hence, they are difficult to visualise through software reconstruction.

본 연구에서는 hydroxyapatite/poly $\varepsilon$-caprolactone composite (HA/PCL) 지지체와 matrigel을 랫드의 두개골 결손부 모델에 함께 이식 시의 골형성 정도를 평가하였다. 두개골결손부는 Sprague Dawley rat (n = 18)에서 수술적으로 형성하였으며 실험군은 Matrigel과 함께 HA/PCL 지지체를 이식한 군(M-HA/PCL group, n = 6)과 HA/PCL 지지체단독이식군(HA/PCL group, n = 6)으로 나누었고 대조군(CD group, n = 6)에는 아무 것도 이식하지 않았다. 수술 4주 후, 골형성은 방사선촬영, micro CT 및 조직검사를 통해 평가되었다. 방사선상에서 CD군의 골형성은 관찰되지 않았으나 HA/PCL과 M-HA/PCL군에서는 관찰되었고 골과 유사한 방사선비투과성이 M-HA/PCL군에서 더 많이 관찰되었다. Micro CT 평가에서 골부피는 HA/PCL군보다 M-HA/PCL군에서 더 높았으나 두 군 사이의 유의적 차이는 관찰할 수 없었다. 그러나 골밀도에서는 HA/PCL군보다 M-HA/PCL군이 더 유의적으로 높음을 확인할 수 있었다(p < 0.05). 조직학적 검사에서는 CD군에서 새로운 골은 원래 존재하던 골로부터만 형성되었으며 두개골결손부 내의 골형성은 보이지 않았다. HA/PCL군에서 새로운 골형성은 원래 존재하던 골로부터만 유래되었으나 M-HA/PCL군은 가장 많은 골형성을 보여주었으며 새로운 골이 원래 존재하던 골과 HA/PCL지지체 주변에서도 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과로 미루어볼 때 HA/PCL 지지체와 matrigel을 함께 사용하는 것이 골의 임계결손부에서 골형성을 증대시키는 효과적인 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The applicability of the ultrasonic C-scan inspection is restricted due to the deterioration of mechanical properties of specimen during the test. Therefore, the aim of this research is applied to Eddy Current (EC) test substitute for the C-scan inspection in CFRP tube containing defects. This research is to evaluate the EC signals for the inspection of CFRP tube containing various circular hole defects (20% to 100% depth to the specimen thickness) using the unloading specimen and radial loading specimen. This study was considered the following points; 1) Analysis of EC signals for the inspection of saw-cut defect and circular hole defect, 2) The evaluation of defect depths and EC signals relationship. 3) Variation of EC signal owing to the radial load. In conclusions, the high frequency such as 300∼500 kHz made it possible to the inspection of 40% to 100% defects. Particularly, in case of 20% defect, the EC signal was not detected due to the noise of micro-crack and delamination. While the depth of the hole defects were decreasing, the difference of the phase angle between unloading specimen and radial loading specimen was gradually increasing.

It is not clearly known how surface defects or inclusions of a medium carbon steel affect a fatigue strength. In this study, we used SM35C specimens with spheroidized cementite structure to eliminate dependence of micro structure of fatigue crack. The investigation was carried out by behavior of crack closure at non-propagation crack and effect of the fatigue limit according to the artificial defects size. Experimental findings are obtained as follows : (1) Fatigue crack initiation point of medium carbon steel with spheroidized cementite structure is at the surface defects. (2) Non-propagating crack length of smooth specimen is equal to the critical size of defect. (3) Considering the opening and closure behavior of fatigue crack, the defect shape results in various crack opening displacement, while it does not affects the fatigue limit level of medium carbon steel with spheroidized cementite structure. (4) The critical length of the non-propagation crack of smooth specimen is the same as critical size of defect in transient area which determines threshold condition in steel with spheroidized cementite structure.

Purpose: The purpose of this animal study was to perform a 3-dimensional micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) analysis in order to investigate the influence of root surface distance to the alveolar bone and the periodontal ligament on periodontal wound healing after a guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedure. Methods: Three adult Sus scrofa domesticus specimens were used. The study sample included 6 teeth, corresponding to 2 third mandibular incisors from each animal. After coronectomy, a circumferential bone defect was created in each tooth by means of calibrated piezoelectric inserts. The experimental defects had depths of 3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm, 9 mm, and 11 mm, with a constant width of 2 mm. One tooth with no defect was used as a control. The defects were covered with a bioresorbable membrane and protected with a flap. After 6 months, the animals were euthanised and tissue blocks were harvested and preserved for micro-CT analysis. Results: New alveolar bone was consistently present in all experimental defects. Signs of root resorption were observed in all samples, with the extent of resorption directly correlated to the vertical extent of the defect; the medial third of the root was the most commonly affected area. Signs of ankylosis were recorded in the defects that were 3 mm and 7 mm in depth. Density and other indicators of bone quality decreased with increasing defect depth. Conclusions: After a GTR procedure, the periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone appeared to compete in periodontal wound healing. Moreover, the observed decrease in bone quality indicators suggests that intrabony defects beyond a critical size cannot be regenerated. This finding may be relevant for the clinical application of periodontal regeneration, since it implies that GTR has a dimensional limit.
