In this study, we tried to invent ceramic armor material with brilliant ballistic properties by the silica of the high compression-expansion ratio and based on alumina that has the most economical and higher ballistic efficiency. After we choose three compositions, proper sintering temperature for each composition was decided. After physical/mechanical measurement, we measured ballistic properties about KE(Kinetic Energy, L/D=10.7, tungsten heavy alloy) and HEAT(High Explosive Anti-Tank, K215) projectiles. As a result, $46\%\;Al_2O_3\;-\;51\%\;SiO_2$ of three compositions had the highest ballistic efficiency md better properties than alumina.

Multiscale Simulation은 sub-nano scale의 전자 구조에서부터 macro scale의 multibody system에 이르기까지 다양한 시간/공간 스케일을 관통하는 시뮬레이션 기법이다. 즉, 전자수준에서의 변화로 인한 분자 전체의 구조 변화와 그에 따른 기능의 변화를 알 수 있는 simulation 방법으로 다양한 스케일에서 분자의 정보를 얻을 수 있다는 점에서 최근 중요하게 여겨지는 시뮬레이션 방법 중 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 몇 가지의 EDISON_CHEM 솔버들을 조합하여 Multiscale Simulation의 가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 또한, 세부적으로 양자계산 시에 어떤 이론을 선택하여 계산하면 더 정확한지, basis set 선택 시 발생하는 basis set superposition error(BSSE)로 인한 분자 수준의 물성의 오차는 어느정도 인지 알아보고자 했다. 본 연구에서는 비교적 간단하지만 온실 가스이자 에너지원으로 각광받고 있는 메탄을 대상으로 하였다. 다양한 시공간 스케일을 다루는 에디슨 솔버들 중에 양자 수준의 계산을 할 수 있는 솔버로는 "GAMESS"를 이용했고, 이 결과를 통해 분자 수준의 물성을 알아보기 위한 솔버로는 "사용자 지정 역장을 사용한 일반 분자동력학(general_MD)"과 "두가지 서로 다른 종류의 LJ입자에 대한 분자동력 시뮬레이션 프로그램(sejong_lj))"을 이용했다. 메탄의 상 전이 과정에 대한 연구 결과 Hartree fock (HF) self-consistent theory를 통해 얻은 force field 보다는 Second-order Møller-Plesset (MP2) perturbation theory로 얻은 force field가 더 정확한 상 전이 온도를 예측한다는 것을 메탄의 coarse-grained simulation을 통해 알 수 있었다. 또한, MP2 이론으로 구한 force field에서 BSSE를 보정해주면 실험적으로 구한 메탄의 상 전이 온도와 더 근사한 값의 시뮬레이션 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이를 통해 전자 간의 상호작용을 더 정교하게 계산하는 MP2 이론으로 force field를 구해서 BSSE를 보정해주면 계산의 결과가 정확해진다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 이것이 EDISON_CHEM의 솔버들로 가능하다는 것을 제시하였다.

이상에서 살펴본 바와 같이, 내열재료들은 고밀도를 이용하여 비행하는 물체의 운동에너지를 극대화 시킬 수 있기 때문에 군사적으로 각종 무기체계의 성능 향상에 매우 중요하다. 또한 유도 무기 및 항공기의 경우 고온, 고압 등의 환경에서 운용되기 때문에, 이러한 조건에서 견딜 수 있는 소재 개발이 필수적이다. 따라서 무기 선진국에서는 고밀도 재료인 텅스텐, 몰리브덴, 탄탈륨, 텅스텐-구리 감손우라늄을 활용하기 위한 연구를 활발하게 진행하고 있다. 이중, 텅스텐, 몰리브덴, 텅스텐-구리 라이너에 관한 연구는 괄목할 만한 연구 성과를 거두고 있다. 이러한 연구성과는 기존 탄의 관통 성능을 크게 증가시켜, 이에 대응하고자 하는 방어 체계 연구자들을 바쁘게 할 것으로 판단된다. 한편 내열 금속의 경우, 초고온 및 고압과 같은 극한 환경에서의 고온 강도 및 내삭마성이 우수하기 때문에, 각종 유도 무기 체계의 구성 부품, 즉 터빈, 밸브, 노즐, 제트 베인 등에 적용되고 있으나 대부분의 내열 재료들은 제조 방법이 까다롭고, 가공성이 나쁘며, 고가라는 단점들이 있어 이를 극복하는 연구들이 현재 진행 중에 있다.

Pseudoaneurysm which is usually caused by high energy trauma or penetrating injury results in serious complications if the diagnosis is delayed. The authors experienced a 63-year-old patient who slipped on the stairs with simple contusion and skin laceration. But, he was finally diagnosed with pseudoaneurysm of tibioperoneal trunk of tibial artery on magnetic resonance imaging and 3-dimensional computed tomography angiogram performed in two weeks due to aggravation of the symptoms. To the best of my knowledge, pseudoaneurysm of tibio-peroneal trunk caused by minor blunt trauma has not been reported till now in Korea. So we report this case with a review of the relevant literature.

This is the second of two companion papers that describe the performance assessment for flexible rockfall protection systems. Described in a companion paper is the criteria to assess the performance of flexible rockfall protection systems. In this study the performance assessment of domestic rockfall protection fences was implemented using the criteria suggested in the companion paper. It was investigated that the rockfall protection fences for express highways performed well to resist the rockfall energy of 50kJ and the deformed rockfall protection fences right after impacting would not obstruct the vehicle traffic. However, to dissipate the rockfall energy of 50kJ with the level of European standards constantly, the spacing of wireropes was adjusted to be 200mm up to the 8th wirerope from the bottom and spacing-maintainers should be extended to the 8th wirerope. It was figured out that the rockfall protection fences for general highways were required to install spacing-maintainers as those for express highways because they, which did not have spacing-maintenance members, were very prone to the penetration of rockfall even for the very small rockfall impact energies.

Two types of cast-in-place concrete-filled hollow PC (HPC1, HPC2) columns were developed to reduce lifting load of heavy-weight PC columns and to improve the structural integrity of joints. To form the hollow PC columns, a couple of prefabricated PC panels was used for HPC1, and special hoops were used for HPC2. Lateral pressure of wet concrete on PC faces was measured while placing the concrete inside the columns. To evaluate the seismic resistance, full scale specimens of two HPC columns and a conventional RC column were tested under combined axial compression and lateral cyclic loading. The test results showed that the structural performance of the proposed HPC columns such as intial stiffness, maximum strength, and displacement ductility was comparable to that of the conventional RC column, but the energy dissipation of HPC2 slightly decreased after rebar-buckling. However, all the test specimens satisfied the energy dissipation requirement specified in ACI 374.

The transmission of vibration energy through beam-plate junctions in vibration intensity analysis called power new analysis (PFA) has been studied. PFA is an analytic tool for the prediction of frequency averaged vibration response of built-up structures at medium to high frequency ranges. The power transmission and reflection coefficients between the semi-infinite beam and plate are estimated using the wave transmission approach. For the application of the power coefficients to practical complex structures, the numerical methods, such as finite element method are needed to be adapted to the power flow governing equation. To solve the discontinuity of energy density at the joint, joint matrix is developed using energy flow coupling relationships at the beam-plate joint. Using the joint matrix developed in this paper, an idealized ship stem part is modeled with finite element program, and vibration energy density and intensity are calculated.

This study was carried out to investigate the injection characteristics of 800 kPa compressed natural gas compressed natural gas (CNG) injector developed in Korea. The CNG injector with multi-holes, employed in this experiment, was designed to inject CNG in the manifold at high pressure of 800 kPa. The spray macroscopic visualization test was carried out via Schlieren photography to study fuel-air mixing process. The fundamental spray characteristics, such as spray penetration, spray cone angle and spray velocity, were evaluated in the constant volume combustion chamber (CVCC) with varying the constant back pressure in CVCC from 0 to 1.8 bar. For the safety reason, nitrogen ($N_2$) and an acetone tracer were utilized as a surrogate gas fuel instead of CNG. The surrogate gas fuel pressures were controlled at 3, 5.5, and 8 bar, respectively. Injection durations were set at 5 ms throughout the experiment. The simulating events of the low engine speed were arranged at 1,000 rpm. The spray images were recorded by using a high-speed camera with a frame rate of 10,000 f/s at $512{\times}256pixels$. The spray characteristics were analyzed by using the image processing (Matlab). The results showed the significant difference that higher injection pressure had more effect on the spray shape than the lower injection pressure. When the injection pressure was increased, the longer spray penetration occurred. Moreover, the linear relation between speed and time are dependent on the injection pressure as well.

A numerical simulation has been performed for the penetration of a long-rod penetrator into a metal block (ceramic-tile-inserted 4340-steel plate). The impact velocity is 1.5km/s at a normal incidence angle. The first two validations are conducted for a semi-infinite block measuring the depth of penetration (DOP). The material model of ceramic is the JH-2 (Johnson-Holmquist) model. The predicted DOP values are in close agreement with the experimental data. Then, the primary simulation is performed by varying the position of the confined ceramic tile for three types of thickness of ceramic tile. The residual velocity, residual mass and residual kinetic energy of the long-rod are obtained from the simulation. Based on these predicted values, the trend of the ballistic performance of the protective structure is estimated. In addition, the mass efficiency is calculated in order to determine the performance of the ceramic-tile-inserted metal block. Finally, the optimum protective structure is identified.

In this study, ballistic impact effects on a helmet were investigated using the AUTODYN-3D program. Two types of materials were used for manufacturing the helmet: single Kevlar and Steel/Kevlar hybrid composites. Furthermore, two types of bullets were used in the simulation: steel spherical and 7.62 mm full-jacketed. In the simulation, the shape deformation of the projectile and internal energy were calculated. From the results, impact velocities above 655 m/s and 845 m/s were required to perforate the Steel/Kevlar helmet with steel spherical and 7.62 mm full-jacketed bullets, respectively. The results show that there was a large difference between the ballistic resistance of the Kevlar and Steel/Kevlar helmets. For the simulation on an NIJ-STD-0106.01 Type II helmet, a 7.62 mm fulljacketed bullet with a striking velocity of 358 m/s was used. Simulation results show that the Steel/Kevlar helmet could resist a 7.62 mm full-jacketed bullet traveling at 358 m/s.
