PURPOSES: To characterize the aging effect on asphalt binder, dynamic shear modulus mastercurve of two typical asphalt binders are developed. METHODS: To develop dynamic shear modulus mastercurve, dynamic shear modulus at high temperature and creep stiffness at low temperature are measured by temperature sweep test and bending beam rheometer test, respectively. RESULTS: It is observed that the aging effect on asphalt binder can be clearly observed from dynamic shear modulus mastercurve and the mastercurve can be utilized to predict behavior of asphalt binder at wide range of temperature. CONCLUSIONS: It is confirmed that SBS 5% modified binder has more desirable mechanical property at low and high temperature as a pavement material comparing to PG64-22 binder and the mastercurve is an effective tool to evaluate the property of asphalt binder.

Degree of membrane degradation in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) is mainly evaluated by the hydrogen crossover current density. The hydrogen crossover current density is measured by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), which differs from the DOE protocol and the NEDO protocol. In this study, two protocols were compared during PEMFC operation and accelerated stress test. In the LSV method by the DOE method, the scan rate change affects the hydrogen crossover current density, but the NEDO method does not affect the hydrogen crossover current density. In the course of 15,000 cycles of polymer membrane wet/dry cycle, the DOE method was sensitive to membrane degradation, but the NEDO method was less sensitive to membrane degradation than the DOE method.

A vibration test for a cylindrical rod inserted on the grid support structure was tested using the sine sweep excitation method with closed loop force control. The effect of the mounting location of a test rod on the vibration characteristics of a rod continuously supported by the full size($16{\times}16$) grid support was identified. An electromagnetic vibration shaker, non-contact displacement sensor and HP/VXI data acquisition device were used and TDAS software was also used as a data sampling and processing tools. The natural frequencies and mode shape of the test rod were consistent with the previous works of a rod vibration test with partial grids($3{\times}3,\;5{\times}5\;and\;7{\times}7$). The frequency characteristics of the rod according to the mounting location were shown clear discrepancies, but mode shapes were nearly same. As the test rod closes to the bottom clamping region of the spacer grid, peak vibration amplitudes of the rod become smaller.

Abnormal cab vibrations in the Y direction in commercial vehicles during driving(70~90kph) are not common vibrations that happen to vehicles during driving and can be an obstacle to normal driving. This study conducted Operation Deflection Shape(ODS) testing to identify the causes of those abnormal cab vibrations and find solutions for them and also a sine sweep test to find resonance and frequency in the cab suspension system and set directions for improvement. The study also altered the shape of the bush inner part for changes to the rigidity features of the cab bush in the Y direction and revised the design with optimal rigidity in the Y direction, thus improving abnormal cab vibrations in the Y direction during driving.

프리스트레싱 시스템이 도입된 구조물의 사용수명이 오래됨에 따라, 이들 구조물의 잔존수명 평가와 보수 및 보강 등의 유지관리 차원에서 프리스트레싱 시스템의 현재 긴장력에 대한 평가는 매우 중요한 현안이 되어왔다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 프리스트레싱 시스템의 현재 긴장력을 평가하기 위한 첫 단계로서 프리스트레싱 시스템의 긴장력이 구조계의 강성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 이를 위하여 부착식 텐던 형식의 프리스트레싱 시스템이 도입된 시험체를 대상으로 SIMO sine sweep test를 수행하고 긴장력과 시험체의 유효 강성에 대한 상관성을 규명하였다. 그 결과, 프리스트레싱 시스템의 긴장력은 시험체의 유효강성을 증가시키며, 저차 고유진동수가 긴장력과 높은 상관성을 지니는 것으로 나타났다.

The influence of co-existing gases on the hydrogen permeation without sweep gas was studied through a Pd-coated $V_{99.8}B_{0.2}$ alloy membrane. Membranes have been investigated in the pressure range 1.5-8.0 bar under pure hydrogen, hydrogen-carbon dioxide and hydrogen-carbon monoxide gas mixture without sweep gas at $400^{\circ}C$. Preliminary hydrogen permeation experiments without sweep gas have been confirmed that hydrogen flux was $40.7mL/min/cm^2$ for a Pd-coated $V_{99.8}B_{0.2}$ alloy membrane (thick : 0.5 mm) using pure hydrogen as the feed gas. In addition, hydrogen flux was $21.4mL/min/cm^2$ for $V_{99.8}B_{0.2}$ alloy membrane using $H_2/CO_2$ as the feed gas. The hydrogen permeation flux decreased with decrease of hydrogen partial pressure irrespective of pressure when $H_2/CO_2$and $H_2/CO$mixture applied as feed gas respectively and permeation fluxes were satisfied with Sievert's law in different feed conditions. It was found from XRD, SEM/EDX results after permeation test that the Pd-coated $V_{99.8}B_{0.2}$ alloy membrane had good stability and durability for various mixtures feeding condition.

Generally, printing inks are composed of pigment, vehicle and additive. Among others, the vehicle transfers the pigment to substrate and then binds it on the surface. So, rheological properties of the vehicle are an important factor which has influence on printability. Thus, in this study, rheology of the vehicle was investigated by using rotational rheometer according to molecular weight of resin. Also, emlusion rheology of water in oil type and its microstructure were examined with increasing the shear rate. Consequently, the following results were obtained: (1) By viscometric flow test, zero shear viscosity and shear thinning index of vehicle increased with increasing the molecular weight of resin. (2) By relaxation and creep test, relaxation time and retardation time of vehicle increased with increasing the molecular weight of resin. (3) By frequency sweep test, crossover point of vehicle increased with increasing the molecular weight of resin. (4) G' and G" of emlusions increased with increasing the molecular weight by amplitude sweep test. (5) The shape of water drop in emlusions was changed to the capillary tube.
