Two different types of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques were employed to investigate the tensile behavior of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). Two NDE methods, ultrasonic testing (UT) and infrared (IR) thermography, were used to assess defects and/or damage evolution before and during mechanical testing. Prior to tensile testing, a UTC-scan and a xenon flash method were performed to obtain initial defect information in light of UT C-scans and thermal diffusivity maps, respectively. An IR camera was used for in-situ monitoring of progressive damages. The IR camera measured temperature changes during tensile testing. This paper has presented the feasibility of using NDE techniques to interpret structural performance of CMCs.

In the manufacturing of large scale composite structures, the cost-effective processing and the enhancement of structural performance are critical. One of the most effective ways for this purpose is to use stitched multiaxial warp knitted (MWK) perform in the resin transfer molding process. This study reports the effect of stitching on the mechanical properties of MWK composites, and the feasibility processing of the thick U-beam structure utilizing the stitched preforms. Permeability of the preform, viscosity and cure property of the epoxy resin have been measured. The results of resin flow analysis has been used in determining the gate/vent locations of the RTM mold. Cross-sectional observation of the channel beam prototype demonstrated that the resin impregnation was almost complete, except for some surrounding area of stitched yarns.

The efficiency of complex slurry preparation route for developing the high performance SiC matrix of $RS-SiC_{f}/SiC$ composites has been investigated. The green bodies for RS-SiC materials prior to the infiltration of molten silicon were prepared with various C/SiC complex slurries, which associated with both the sizes of starting SiC particles and the blending conditions of starting SiC and C particles. The characterization of Rs-SiC materials was examined by means of SEM, EDS and three point bending test. Based on the mechanical property-microstructure correlation, the process optimization is also discussed. The flexural strength of Rs-SiC materials greatly depended on the content of residual Si. The decrease of starting SiC particle size in the C/SiC complex slurry was effective for improving the flexural strength of RS-SiC materials.

Surface integrity is dictated by the fabrication process of the metal part. In this work, steel specimens were prepared under various mechine conditions to achieve different degrees of deformation state. The tribological characteristics of the speciments were tested using a pin-on-disk type apparatus and other surface characterization tools. It is shown that though frictional characteristics are similar, the wear rate is significantrly affected by the properties of the surface. In the case of steel, surface cracks resulted in high wear despite the relatively high hardness of the specimen. Also, the sliding action were found to reduce the residual stress on the surface. These results indicate that there is a strong relationship between surface integrity and the tribological properties of steel, and therefore the machining condition should be optimized woth respect to tribological performance of a steel part.

Recent microwave IC's reach to the extent of high operating frequencies at which bonding wires limit their performance as dominant parasitic components. Double bonding wires separated by an internal angle have been firstly characterized using the Method of Moments with the incorporation of the ohmic resistance calculated by the phenomenological loss equivalence method. For a 30$^{\circ}$ internal angle, the calculated total reactance is 45% less than that of a single bonding wire due to the negative mutual coupling effect. The radiation effect has been observed decreasing the mutual inductance, whereas for parallel bonding wires it greatly increases the mutual inductance. This calculation results can be widely used for designing and packaging of high frequency and high density MMIC's and OEIC's.

This paper presents process model to accomplish traffic engineering in Internet. The process model consists of 4 stages. The first stage is the formulation of a control policy dominated network operation. The second stage is the observation of the network state through a set or monitoring functions. The third stage is the characterization or traffic and analysis or the network state. The final stage is the optimization of network performance. the four stages of the process model defined above are iterated.

Picosecond time-correlated single photon counting system and time-resolved luminescence spectrometer were constructed, employing a mode-locked picosecond laser, fast electronics, and microchannel plate tube. It has been shown that the instrument response function critically depends on laser pulse shape, timing jitter and walk of the electronics, and characteristics of detector and amplifier. Correcting time dispersion in the optical system, the best instrument response function obtained appears to be 25 ps, which made it possible to measure the luminescence lifetime with less than 10 ps resolution in the picosecond to microsecond range. range.

A dosimeter using tissue-equivalent scintillator by photon-counting method was developed and evaluated in its performance. The dosimeter is portable and can be operated by low power from lap-top computer. A data-acquisition software of the dosimeter system was developed by Labwindows/CVI based on Windows. The energy to channel ratio for energy calibration was 0.839 keV/ch. obtained from pulse height spectrum of $^{137}Cs$ and $^{60}Co$ gamma-ray. Using the dosimeter system, the absorbed dose of environmental radiation in Gyungju was 0.18 ${\mu}Sv/h$.

가시광 CCD나 HxRG 등의 적외선 어레이 디텍터는 천문관측기기를 구성하는 핵심부품으로, 관측기기의 종합 성능 결정에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 따라서 디텍터의 성능을 정확하게 진단하는 것은 관측기기의 성능을 예측하거나 유지 또는 개선하는데 중요한 요소가 된다. 한국천문연구원은 최근에 디텍터 성능을 직접적으로 측정할 수 있는 광전자 시스템을 구축하고 장치를 구동하기 위한 소프트웨어를 자체 개발하였다. 본 시스템을 기반으로 Andor iKon-M 카메라 CCD의 시스템 게인, 최대 포화전자수, 감도, 비선형성, 양자효율, 암전류, 읽기 잡음, 불량 픽셀의 특성을 측정하였으며 특히, 양자효율의 경우 디텍터의 구동 온도에 따라 파장별로 2%에서 30% 이상까지 편차가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 디텍터의 성능 평가와 그 중요성에 대하여 논의한다.

This paper dealt with the LPS process for the development of high performance SiC materials, based on the detailed analysis of their microstructure and mechanical properties. The submicron SiC powder was used for the fabrication of LPS-SiC materials. A mixture of $Al_2O_3$ and $Y_2O_3$ particles was also used as a sintering additive in the LPS process. LPS-SiC materials were fabricated at different temperatures, using various additive composition ratio ($Al_2O_3/Y_2O_3$). The total amount of additive materials ($Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$) was fixed as 10 wt%. The characterization Of LPS-SiC materials was investigated by means of SEM, XRD and three point bending test. The LPS-SiC material represented a relative density of about 98 % and a flexural strength of about 800MPa, when it was fabricated at the temperature of $1820^{\circ}C$ and the additive compositional ratio of 1.5.
