이 연구의 목적은 수직착지시 성에 따른 슬관절 가동범위의 차이를 알아보는 것이다. 연구 대상자는 20대의 건강한 성인 48명(남자 25명, 여자 23명)이었다. 연구 대상자에게 40 cm 높이에서 한발로 뛰어내리도록 하고, 2차원 동작측정 기구인 CMS-HS를 이용하여 수직착지시 슬관절의 굴곡각도, 최대 슬관절 굴곡각도, 슬관절의 가동 범위, 각속도를 측정한 후, 남 여 두 집단간의 차이를 알아보았다. 이때 사용한 분석방법은 독립적인 두 표본 t-검정이었으며 축차적(stepwise) 다변량회귀분석을 이용하여 체중과 신장을 조절한 상태에서 남여 간에 차이가 있는지를 분석하였다. 그 결과 수직착지시 슬관절의 굴곡각도에서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 최대 슬관절 굴곡각도, 슬관절의 가동 범위, 각속도에는 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<.05). 체중과 신장이 조절된 조건 하에서 여자는 수직착지시 최대 슬관절의 굴곡각도와 슬관절의 가동범위가 남자보다 작았다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 수직착지시 여자가 남자보다 슬관절 손상의 빈도가 높은 이유 중의 하나는 여자가 슬관절을 덜 굴곡시킴으로 인해 바닥의 충격을 더 많이 받기 때문이라는 가능성을 발견하였다.

In order to understand how static stretch and PNF stretch affect flexibility improvement of college taekwondo players, the study evaluated the joint working range of the knee joint while testing the jump performance to see if those stretches have any influence on a functional performance. According to the results of the research, each group of the static stretch and PNF stretch was observed with significant improvements in the joint working range and the jump performance. From the comparison between the two groups, only the jump performance came up with significant differences.

The material properties of heat resistant materials at power plants are affected by thermal aging as operating time is accumulated. In this study, the influence of thermal aging on yield strength, tensile strength and fracture behavior for Mod.9Cr-1Mo (ASME Grade 91) steel which is a material widely adopted for Generation IV nuclear energy system has been investigated and analyzed. Service exposed Gr.91 steel materials sampled from a piping system of an ultra-supercritical (USC) plant in Korea with accumulated operation time of 73,716 hours were used for material testing. The test results of the service exposed material specimens were compared with those of the virgin Gr.91 steel specimens. Those test data were compared with the material properties of ASME code and RCC-MRx code. Conservatisms of the material properties in the design codes have been quantified based on the comparisons of those from virgin and service exposed material specimens.

The movable bracket structure, which is an apparatus for supplying electric power to a running electric locomotive, is applied by a repeated load during the passage of the electric locomotive. Such a repeated load becomes an excitation source that causes screws constituting the movable bracket structure to be loosened. This study was conducted on the causes and countermeasures of the bolt loosening caused by the repeated vibration using a computer simulation. As the result, a simulation model was constructed to enable the dynamic analysis of the movable bracket structure. It could be found that the principal excitation frequency range for the bolt loosening of the movable bracket structure was less than 200 Hz. In addition, the bolts are prevented from being loosened by increasing stiffness of H beams. The vibration mode of a lower band bracket is found to be triggered in a frequency range between 300 and 600 Hz. And the increase in stiffness of the lower band bracket exhibits the effect to avoid the bolt loosening at a frequency range of 200 Hz or more.

A conveyor system in corrugated manufacturing industry may be in charge of carriage/storage, and may control logistics flow and production activities of products in a manufacturing process which consists of corrugators, conveyors, and printer-slotter systems. It identifies problems that the conveyor system in this case study is overloaded and often operated manually. This research is to evaluate e the conveyor system though simulation model of technological evaluation beyond d eco-nomic and qualitative one. The rate of operation and the load of the conveyor system are used as parameters in the simulation. This paper suggests a direction to a new conveyor system implementation the basis of the results that are derived by new alternatives based on current model. The best alternative is supposed to be the number of conveyors and the operation times of the printer-slotter that may be increased at the same time.

Generally, water is taken through channels and rivers, in which there are many weirs and structures, which cross rivers and temporally hold up water. But this way has its own shortcomings. It is main reason that the water flows through structures, and backwater come into being. So it causes many water quality problems and some flood side-effects and so on. In this study, among the various movable weirs, we installed bottom-discharged and air pressure movable weir in the experimental channel. And we analyzed flowing influence, which is followed by the angle variation of movable weir. We also make further study the flow characteristic variation followed by installing entrance at the bottom to discharge the bottom water. The analysis result was that installed weir angle was increased, and the discharge also gradually increased. The installed weir angle depended on the water quantity, which can be excluded in the bottom. In case of velocity, there was increased as maximum 21.9 times, according to there is entrance or not at the bottom. And in case of water level, it showed the water level of locally above the average decrease in the upper river of weir.

In pressurized water nuclear reactors (PWRs), the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) upper head contains penetration nozzles that use a control rod drive mechanism (CRDM). The penetration nozzle uses J-groove weld geometry. Recently, the occurrence of cracking in alloy 600 CRDM penetration nozzle has increased. This is attributable to primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC). PWSCC is known to be susceptible to the welding residual stress and operational stress. Generally, the tensile residual stress is the main factor contributing to crack growth. Therefore, this study investigates the effect on weld residual stress through different analysis methods for normal operating conditions using finite element analysis. In addition, this study also considers the effect of repeated normal operating condition cycles on the weld residual stress. Based on the analysis result, this paper presents a normal operating condition analysis method.

Pressure tubes at the CANada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) nuclear power plants are periodically inspected in accordance with the CSA N285.4 code. If flaws that do not satisfy the criteria given in CSA N285.4 are detected, the code permits a fitness-for-service assessment to determine the acceptability of the flawed pressure tubes. In this paper, the Wolsong In-service Evaluation System (WIES) is introduced; this system has been developed for the assessment of the flawed pressure tubes and is based on CSA N285.8. Since the system evaluates the integrity of flawed pressure tubes exactly and promptly during an in-service inspection, it will help in operating the Wolsong nuclear power plants without prolonging the outage period.

A moving-coil type linear actuator has been widely used in the system reciprocating short stroke because of its several advantages, such as the structural simplicity, low weight and a fast control response speed. This paper presents a design approach for improving the actuating performance with a clear expression of optimal configuration represented by a level set function. The optimization problem is formulated to minimize the variation of magnetic force at every moving displacement of the mover for fast and easy control. To consider the manufacturability of actuator, the concept of phase-field model is incorporated to control the complexity of structural boundaries. To verify the usefulness of the proposed method, the core design example of cylindrical linear actuator is performed.
