To maintain sustainability of nuclear energy as an important energy source, both safety problem and Spent Nuclear Fuels(SNFs) problem should be solved. In case of Gen-IV reactors such as fast reactor, SNFs can be used as fuels by using fast neutrons. It can be a suitable treatment method of high-level waste in near future. Liquid metals such as Sodium or Lead-Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) can be possibly used as a coolant to use fast neutrons. In this paper, it was described that natural circulation parameter studies, design analyses, material selections and a completion of facilities. To develop a natural circulation facility, thermal hydraulic analyses were performed. Installation technique of liquid metal natural circulation were secured.

Blades are one of the critical parts of the wind machine. This paper presents a design procedure for the blade of a 7m diameter horizontal axis wind turbine with the constraint conditions of stresses and fundamental frequency. This blade consists of glass/polyester woven fabric and unidirectional prepreg. It was firstly designed by the classical beam theory on the assumption that torque box sustains all external loads and the reliability of the blade was then inspected in the preliminary estimation by using FEM.

본 연구는 초음파 알루미늄 웨지 및 금 볼 본딩을 동시에 적용 가능한 본딩 Pad의 금속학적 안정성을 고려한 표층전극 형성 방법에 관한 것이다. 특히, 이동통신 및 전장용 모듈의 복합 및 융합화로 LTCC기판 패키징에 있어서 다양한 본딩 기술이 요구되고 있다. 전통적인 interconnection 기술인 Au ball 본딩 및 초음파 에너지를 이용한 Al wedge 본딩 기술이 동시에 사용되어야 하는 패키지 구조의 경우 본딩 패드의 표층전극 설계는 서로 상충되는 조건이 요구된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 LTCC기판의 표층전극의 Metal finish 방법으로 이용되는 ENEPIG(무전해 Ni/Pd/Au도금)공법으로 Au ball 본딩 및 초음파 Al wedge 본딩을 동시에 가능하게 하는 solution을 제시하여 패키징 자유도뿐만 아니라 Interconnection 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있었다.

나노복합 블레이드가 반도체 웨이퍼 가공을 위한 마이크로급 나노장치나 그 이상의 나노급 구조체를 위해 사용되었다. 금속 블레이드는 실리콘 웨이퍼 가공을 위해 사용되어 왔다. 그러나, 최근 레진 복합 블레이드는 반도체나 핸드폰의 쿼츠 웨이퍼 가공에 사용된다. 유기 또는 비유기 재료 선정은 기계가공성, 전기 전도성, 강도, 연성 및 웨이퍼 저항을 가진 블레이드를 만드는데 중요하다. 고성능 응용의 증대 요구에 따라 개발된 고기술 비유기성 재료의 혼합은 낮은 가격에 고기능의 신뢰도를 필요로 한다. 나노 입자의 크기를 가진 레진 복합물의 마이크로 설계는 입자간 상호작용의 제어가 필요하다. 형상 제작 동안 마이크로 차원에 두께를 유지하기 위해서는 마이크로/나노급 제작을 위한 가공기술이 중요한 것 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 핫 프레스 구조물이 원래 설계 기준과 두께 차이의 실험 접근법을 사용해 만들어졌다. 다른 습식 공정 기술은 차원의 허용치를 개선하기 위해 만들었다. 실험들과 해석들은 신뢰성 결과가 사용가능함을 보여주었다. 반도체 시장에 사용될 레진 복합 블레이드의 개선 효과가 논의되었다.

We propose a band-switchable terahertz metamaterial based on an etched vanadium dioxide (VO₂) thin film. A line of etched VO₂ thin film was placed in the center gap of the split square-loop shape for the tunability of the metamaterial. The resonance frequency of the metamaterial can be switched from the 1.4 THz band to the 0.7 THz band, according to the insulator-metal phase transition in the VO₂ thin film. The absolute difference in the transmittance of the metamaterial was 78.5% and 65.8% at 0.7 THz and 1.4 THz respectively, according to the band switching. The differential phase shift was around 90°, and the transmittance was stably maintained between 40% and 60% in the middle band of the two switchable resonance-frequency bands.

In this paper, the seismic analysis model for seismically isolated KALIMER reactor structures is developed and the modal analysis and the seismic time history analysis are carried out for seismic isolation and non-isolation cases. To check the seismic stress limit according to the ASME Code, the equivalent seismic stress analyses are preformed using the 3-D finite element model. From the seismic stress analysis, the seismic margins are calculated for structural members. The limit of seismic load is defined to show that the maximum input acceleration ensures the structural safety for seismic load. In comparison of seismic responses between seismic isolation and non-isolation cases, the seismic isolation design gives significantly reduced acceleration responses and relative displacements between structures. The seismic margin of KALIMER reactor structure is high enough to produce the limit seismic load 0.8g.

A heat insulating material used in the industrial site normally derives its heat insulating performance by using a low thermal conductivity material such as glass fiber. In case of the metal insulation for nuclear power plant, in contrast, only TP 304 stainless steel foil having high thermal conductivity is the only acceptable material. So, it is required to approach in structural aspect to ensure the insulation performance. In this study, the design factors related to the metal insulation internal structure were determined considering the three modes of heat transfer, i.e., conduction, convection, and radiation. The analysis of heat flow was used to understand the ratio of the heat transfer from each factor to the overall heat transfer from all the factors. Based on this study, in order to minimize the convection phenomenon caused by the internal insulation, a multiple foil was inserted in the insulation. The increase in the conduction heat transfer rate was compared, and the insulation performance under the three modes of heat transfer was analyzed in order to determine the internal geometry.

With the high design freedom of the additive manufacturing process, there is a growing interest in multi-dimensional lattice structures among researchers, who are studying intricate structural modeling that is challenging to produce using conventional manufacturing processes. In the case of titanium alloy implants for human insertion, a multi-dimensional lattice structure is employed to ensure compatibility with bones, adjusting strength and elastic modulus to levels similar to those of bones. Therefore, securing a database on the mechanical properties based on lattice structure design variables and the development of related simulation techniques are believed to efficiently facilitate the customization of implants. In this study, lattice structures were additively manufactured using Ti-6Al-4V alloy, and the elastic modulus was measured based on design parameters. The results were compared with simulations, and an approach to finite element analysis for accurate prediction of the elastic modulus was proposed.

Composite motor cases fabricated by the filament winding method are structurally weak in the dome when they are required to withstand the internal pressure of the combustion gas. In this study, a finite element analysis is conducted to compare the burst pressure of a composite dome according to the variation of the pressure distribution ratio(PDR). The performance of the composite motor case was compared quantitatively by calculating the stress on the inner and outer dome surfaces and metal boss volume. As a result, the critical point of the failure mode was observed at a PDR between 2.5 and 3.0. A design at a PDR of 2.5­-3.5 can reduce the weight of metal boss without fluctuation in the burst pressure of the combustion motor case. Moreover as the design reference value changes according to the dome shape and opening size, further analysis and testing are necessary.
