A microlens has been fabricated by various methods such as a thermal reflow, hot embossing, diamond milling, etc. However, these methods require a relatively complex process to control the microlens shape. In this work, we report on a simple and cost-effective method to fabricate a cylindrical microlens (CML), which can diffuse light widely. We have employed a slot-die head with the dual plate (a meniscus guide with a protruded μ-tip and a shim with a slit channel) for coating of a narrow stripe using poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). We have shown that the higher the coating gap, the lower the maximum coating speed, which causes an increase in the stripe width and thickness. The coated PMMA stripe has the concave shape. To make it in the shape of a convex microlens, we have applied the thermal reflow method. When the stripe thickness is small, however, its effect is negligible. To increase the stripe thickness, we have increased the number of repeated coating. With this scheme, we have fabricated the CML with the width of 223 ㎛ and the thickness of 7.3 ㎛. Finally, we have demonstrated experimentally that the CML can diffuse light widely, a feature demanded for light extraction efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and suppression of moiré patterns in displays.

In this study, the pullout resistance characteristic of a wedge-shaped soil nail, made by attaching small steel sticks to the tip of a nail in a wedge shape, was investigated. It was developed to improve the overall pullout resistance capacity of the existing soil nail system, composed of nail and grout, by making the wedge provide additional pullout resistance. In order to evaluate the pullout resistance of the wedge shape-soil nail, field pullout tests were conducted, and the results were compared with those for the existing soil nail without the wedge. The field test results showed that the pullout resistance capacity of the wedge-shaped soil nail was 50% larger than that of the existing soil nail without the wedge.

Tetrapod-shaped ZnO crystals were synthesized through a simple oxidation of metallic Zn powder in air without the presence of any catalysts or substrates. X-ray diffraction data revealed that the ZnO crystals had wurtzite structure. It is supposed that the growth of the tetrapod proceeded in a vapor-solid growth mechanism. As the amount of the source powder increased, the size of the tetrapod decreased. The tip morphology of the tetrapod changed from a needle-like shape to a spherical shape with the oxidation time. ZnO crystals with rod shape were fabricated via the oxidation of Zn and Sn mixture. Sn played an important role in the formation of ZnO crystals with different morphology by affecting the growth mode of ZnO crystals. The cathodoluminescent properties were measured for the samples. The strongest green emission was observed for the rod-shaped ZnO crystals, suggesting that the crystals had the high density of oxygen vacancies.

The crack propagation path can be considered as a boundary problem in which the crack advances towards the interior of the domain. Consequently, this poses an optimization problem wherein the local crack-growth direction angle can be treated as a design variable. The advantage of this approach is that the continuous minimization of strain energy naturally leads to the mode I propagation path. Furthermore, this procedure does not rely on the precise characterization of the stress field at the crack tip and is independent of stress intensity factors. This paper proposes an algorithm based on internal point exploration as well as shape sensitivity optimization and strain energy minimization to determine the crack propagation direction. To implement this methodology, the algorithm utilizes a modeling GUI associated with an academic analysis program based on the Dual Boundary Elements Method and determines the propagation path by exploiting the elastic strain energy at points in the domain that are candidates to be included in the boundary. The sensitivity of the optimal solution is also assessed in the vicinity of the optimum point, ensuring the stability and robustness of the solution. The results obtained demonstrate that the proposed methodology accurately predicts the crack propagation direction in Mode I opening for a single crack (lateral and central). Furthermore, robust optimal solutions were achieved in all cases, indicating that the optimal solution was not highly sensitive to changes in the design variable in the vicinity of the optimal point.

척추체간 유합케이지의 성능평가에 있어서 압축강도와 상대적인 3차원적 안정성 그리고 골유도를 촉진시킬 수 있는 형상은 성공적인 골유합의 정도를 판가름 할 수 있는 중요한 척도이다. 새로 고안된 박스형 유합케이지 스파이크의 형상변화에 따른 척추체의 골단판에 미치는 응력분포 양상과 케이지의 안정성을 비교하기 위하여 압축하중 작용 초기에 스파이크 끝딘과 골단판이 접촉하는 경우와 스파이크가 골단판에 삽입되었을 경우를 구분하여 스파이크의 높이, 폭 및 각도를 변화시켜 가면서 유한요소 해석을 실시하여 고찰하였다. 유합케이지 2개가 척추체간에 삽입되어 있는 상태에서 수직하중 1700N이 가해질 때 척추체 골단판에 전달되는 응력분포를 조사하였으며, 전, 후방향으로 케이지 하나에 100N의 pull out하중을 부과하여 케이지의 스파이크 형상변화에 따른 미세이동 정도를 비교 평가하였다. 그 결과, 척추체 골단판의 응력 집중 정도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 케이지스파이크 끝단 폭의 크기이며, 케이지 스파이크의 높이 및 각도의 변화는 스파이크 끝단과 접촉하는 척추체 골단판에 미치는 응력 정도에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 스파이크 경사면 각도조절 및 양방향혼합형의 대칭 배열을 통하여 전후방향 pull-out하중에 대한 변위량을 저감시킬 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통하여 척추체에서의 응력집중을 피할 수 있고 케이지의 초기 접촉시 골단판의 파괴를 방지하고 골유합에 유리한 케이지 스파이크 형상을 설계하였고, 케이지 치환술 후 운동시 전후방향으로 이동을 최소화하여 기계적 안정성을 높일 수 있는 새로운 척추체간 유합 케이지의 최적 형상을 제안하였다.

Lateral type poly-silicon field emitters were fabricated by utilizing the LOCOS (Local Oxidation of Silicon) process. For the implementation 'of an ideal field emission device with quasi-zero tunneling barrier, a new and fundamental approach has used conducted by introducing an intelligent carbon-based thin layer on the cathode tip surface via a field-assisted self-aligning of carbon (FASAC) process. Fundamental lowering of the turn-on field for the electron emission was feasible through the control of both the tip shape and surface barrier height.

This study involved the fabrication of precision machine tools using a polycrystalline diamond tip [sintered PCD and cemented carbide (WC-Co) tip] and WC-Co shanks via diffusion bonding with a paste-type nickel alloy filler metal. Diffusion bonding is a process whereby two materials are pressed together at high temperature and high pressure for a sufficient period of time to allow significant atomic diffusion to occur. For smooth progress, a filler metal of nickel alloy was used at the interface. Optical microscopy images were used to observe the copula of the bonded layer. It was confirmed that cracks occurred near the junction in all cases. The tensile strength of the bond was measured using a universal testing machine (UTM) with WC-Co proportional test specimens.

We demonstrate a novel fabrication technology for the microneedle array that can be used in the medical test field, which is transdermal drug delivery and blood analyte sampling. Previous researchers have used silicon-processed micromachining, a reactive ion etching, and molding techniques for the fabrication of microneedle array. However, these fabrication techniques have somewhat limitations apply to the microneedle array fabrication according to its application. Inclined LIGA process is suggested to overcome these problems. This process provides easier, sharper and longer out-of-plane microneedle array structure than conventional silicon-processed fabrication method did. Additionally, because of the advantage of the LIGA process based on mold fabrication for mass production, the polymer, PMMA(PolyMethylMethAcrylate), based microneedle array is useful as the mold base of nickel electroplating process; on the other hand, silicon-processed microneedle array is used in itself. In this research, we fabricate different types of out-of-plane microneedle array, which have different shape of tip, base and hole structure, using the inclined LIGA process. The fabricated microneedles have proper mechanical strength, height and sharpness to puncture human hand epidermis or dermis with less pain and without needle tip break during penetrating the skin.
