This paper investigated the vertical throughflow effects on natural convection due to heating from below in horizontal porous layer. The motion of the fluid in the porous layer is governed by Brinkman-Darcy equation. And compared Critical Rayleigh number in case of throughflow with no throughflow. Investigated Nusslet number, isothermalline and flow with the variation of the strength of throughflow in a constant Rayleigh number. In the numerical analysis, flow is assumed to be two-dimensional and unsteady. The numerical scheme used is a finite-difference method. In the experimental study, Temperature distribution was measured by use of Liquid Crystal film. As a results, indicated that throughflow influences largely on the temperature field and as the strength of throughflow increased, unstability of natural convection decreased. Also it could predict the strength of natural convection with the measured Nusselt number.

The present paper provides the elastic stress intensity factors(SIFs) of thick-walled cylinder with non-idealized circumferential through-wall cracks. For estimating these elastic SIFs, the systematic three-dimensional(3D) elastic finite element(FE) analyses were performed. In order to consider practical shape of thick-walled cylinder and non-idealized circumferential through-wall crack, the values of thickness of cylinder, reference crack length and crack length ratio were systematically varied. As for loading conditions, axial tension, global bending and internal pressure were considered. In particular, in order to calculate the SIFs of thick-walled cylinder with non-idealized circumferential through-wall crack from those of thick-walled cylinder with idealized circumferential through-wall crack, the correction factor representing the effect of non-idealized crack on the SIFs were proposed in this paper. The present results can be applied to accurately evaluate the rupture probabilities of nuclear piping considering actual crack growth behaviors.

The puncture properties under various conditions were investigated for the optimum conditions to yield the best properties. Fiber aspect ratio(AR: length of fiber/diameter of fiber), interphase condition and fiber content were considered as variables which impact the puncture force and friction force. The puncture force of short-fiber reinforced rubber increases up to 3.4 times compared to the virgin material. The better interphase condition shows the higher puncture force at given fiber AR and fiber content. The friction force of the matrix and reinforced rubber with a fiber AR below 155 does not exist. The friction force of the reinforced rubber with the good interphase condition and high fiber AR is higher than puncture force of matrix. Overall, it was found that the interphase condition, fiber AR and fiber content have an important effect on the puncture properties.

The puncture properties of short-fiber reinforced rubber were investigated as functions of fiber aspect ratio(AR: length of fiber/diameter of fiber), fiber content, specimen size and testing velocity. The puncture stresses of the matrix and short-fiber reinforced rubber decreased with specimen size, and increased with testing velocity at same specimen size. As the fiber AR increased the puncture stress at given fiber content also increased. The problem of the specimen shape was investigated by the comparison of the tensile strength with puncture stress. The forces acting in the membrane wall of the matrix and the short-fiber reinforced rubber showed a similar data regardless of specimen size. And those increased with testing velocity at same specimen size. As the fiber AR increased the force acting in the wall at given fiber content also increased. Overall, it was found that the specimen size, testing velocity had an important effects on the puncture properties.

In this study, the shock characteristics for high velocity impact phenomena during the initial shock state by the long rod penetrator are calculated. From these results we re-analyze the one-dimensional hydrodynamic penetration theory by introducing the effective area ratio calculated from the mushroomed strain which is dependent on impact velocity. Calculated penetration depth and mushroomed strain show good agreement with high velocity impact experimental data. In addition we visualize the shock wave propagation in a transparent acryle block.

스프링클러설비와 방화구획 구성요소는 화재시 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러나 기존에 15층이하 아파트는 스프링클러설비가 없어 화재시 방화구획에 의존해야 되는데 방화구획 관련 설계, 시공, 감리가 미비하여 화재에 쉽게 노출되어 있다. 설비슬리브, 전선관, 덕트등이 방화구획으로 되어 있는 부분을 관통하는 경우 그틈을 시멘트모르타르나 기타 불연재료로 메우도록 규정하고 있으나 화재발생시 관통부를 메운 재료의 내화성능 부실, 균열, 탈락 등으로 화재안전성이 떨어진다. 현장에서의 설계, 시공, 감리등 대응하는 자세가 너무 허술하다. 설계에 방화댐퍼, 관통부 틈새의 내용이 반영 되지 않고 건축, 기계, 전기, 통신, 소방등 각 분야의 허가 도면에 도장이 날인되어 나타난다. 시공자는 잘못된 설계도면을 가지고 허가 도면이라며 도면되로 시공한다. 또한 실리콘, 우레탄폼등을 방화구획 관통부 틈새에 주입하며, 작업자도 비숙련자로서 개념도 없이 방화용실란트와 우레탄폼을 혼용해가며 작업을 한다.

New warheads are designed and developed to be highly lethal when used as part of ballistic missile payloads. There are many trades associated with the design of a central warhead core, mainly dealing with the projectiles or penetrators. Obviously, a payload-type configuration is very susceptible to kills from one projectile because of the high impacts required for bomblet or submunition payloads. Based on these requirements, the optimum kill vehicle configuration will have the smallest mass and relative velocity that will kill all the submunitions. The designs of the penetrator shape and size are directly related to the space and weight of the warhead. The shape, size, L/D, penetrator material, and manner in which they are inserted inside the surrounding explosive segments are critical in achieving successful penetrator design. The AUTODYN-3D code was used to study the effect of penetrator penetration. The objective of numerical analysis was to determine the penetration characteristics of the penetrator produced by hypervelocity impacts under different initial conditions such as initial velocity, shape, and L/D of the penetrator.

We have studied the damage mechanism of a metallic thin plate by the highly energetic fragments generated from high explosive(HE) warhead. The penetration process has presumed that the velocity of a fragment is in the range of 350 m/s to 3353 m/s, the thickness of Aluminum 2024 target plate is in the range of 1 mm~6.3 mm thick. The mass of fragment with hemisphere nose shape is in the range of 0.32 g to 16 g. The analytical solution for penetration process has been derived by using the report of the project THOR. The results of analysis implied that the closed forms by an exponentially decay function well fit the change of the ballistic limit velocity, loss velocity and loss mass of fragment as the mass of fragment and the thickness of target plate increase.

In this paper, SI(Signal Integrity) characteristic of the 4-layer PCB(Printed Circuit Boards) with a through-hole via was analyzed by impedance mismatching between the through-hole via and the transmission line, and deterioration of clock pulse response characteristic due to the P/G plane resonances which are generated between the power and the ground plane. The minimized impedance mismatching between the through-hole via and the transmission line for the improving of SI characteristic is confirmed by the TDR(Time Domain Reflector) simulation and lumped element modeling of the through-hole via. And the cancellation method of P/G plane resonances for improvement of the SI characteristic is represented by simulation result.

In this study, we re-examined the Tate's modified Bernoulli equation to study penetration phenomena for long rod projectile into single or multi-layered finite thickness plates. We used the force equlibrium equation at mushroomed nose/target interface instead of conventional pressure equation at the stagnation point. In our penetration model, we considered the velocity dependent $R_t$ value for semi-infinite target and considered only the back face effect for finite target. To compensate for $R_t$ value according to target's thickness and back face effect, we used the spherical cavity expansion theory for semi-infinite plate and used the cylindrical cavity expansion theory for finite plate. Also we developed the experimental technique using make screen to measure the penetration duration time at each layered plate. In 3-layered laminated RHA/mild steel/ A1 7039 plate, we observed that spall had occured around the back face of A1 7039 plate by the stress wave interaction. Through the comparison between theoretical and experimental data including Lambert's results, we conform that our study has good confidences.
