In this study, a damage estimation model for water distribution system was developed to quantitatively calculate the cumulative damage of water distribution system. And it was applied to real water distribution system to analyze the cumulative damage of water distribution system. To analyze the overall damage rate of the water distribution system, the cumulative damage analysis formula of individual pipes was established. And the aging index that affects the damage rate was analyzed using MCS (Monte Carlo Simulation), and Romanoff's measured data was used to calculate the thickness change due to corrosion. In addition, a cumulative damage estimation model was applied to unit network such as small and medium block network, and the cumulative damage of the unit network for up to 50 years was calculated. From the results, it was found that the cumulative damage rate is increased from 7% to 79% for the water distribution system of Naeduk 1-dong, Cheongju City, as the age of the pipeline is increased from 20 years to 50 years.

Fatigue strength analysis is one of the most important themes of ship structure design, as fatigue damages are reported on ship structures even now. But these need basic research workes which will take time. The others are the problem to apply fatigue strength analysis in design and have to be investigated in parallel with basic researches. The one of major items in the latter is the critical damage factor to define with S-N curve for fatigue strength analysis of ship structure design.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change of the amount of soil erosion by comparisons between burned and unburned area after forest fire. The amount of soil erosion in burned area was more high 11.2 times in year of fire, 8.4 times in 1 later year, 2 times in 5 later year and 1.3 times in 10 later year than in unburned area. The ratio of soil erosion in burned area was reduced to 98% of 10 later year as compared to the year of fire. Therefore, the soil erosion in the burned area almost tended to stabilization like unburned area passing ten year after forest fire. The most affecting factors on the amount of soil erosion in burned and unburned area were unit rainfall, number of unit rainfall and number of rainfall accumulated.

Structural loading on a wind turbine is due to cyclic loads acting on the blades under turbulence and periodic wind field. The structural loading generates fatigue damage and fatigue failure of the wind turbine. The individual pitch control(IPC) is an efficient control method for reducing structural loading. In this paper, we present an IPC design method using Decentralized LQR(DLQR) and Disturbance accommodating control(DAC). DLQR is used for regulating rotor speed and DAC is used for canceling out disturbances. The performance of the proposed IPC is compared with CPC, which was designed with a gain-scheduled PI controller. We confirm the effect of fatigue load reduction with the use of damage equivalent load(DEL).

급변하는 글로벌 비즈니즈 환경속에서 물류의 역할은 나날이 증가하고 있다. 아울러 기존의 노동 집약적 물류 산업의 탈피가 가속화 되어 있으며, 고부과가치 물류 시스템 구축으로 융복합 기술을 활용한 새로운 모습으로 변화를 요구하고 있다. 특히, 물류 분야 중 자동차 생산 분류에 선재 관리를 통해 기업과 기업으로 서로 운송되어 분류되어 있으며, 차량 선재 분류는 자동화 통해 수행하고 있으나, 생산된 선재는 색깔별, 두께별로 일괄적으로 생산하여 나중에 선재를 작업자가 분류지를 보면서 작업을 하고 있하고 있다. 그러나, 선재 분류자는 반복적인 업무와 피로 누적으로 휴멘 에러가 발생으로 선재의 누락 혼합 발생되어 선재 물류 납품 시 이 차 기업으로 비용과 시간적 피해가 발생하게 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 차량 선재 공정 분류와 그룹 모니터링 장치 기반의 선재 물류 분류 장치를 통해 공정을 개선하고자 한다.

The process and facilities of modern chemical plants are becoming increasingly complex, there is possibility of potential risk. Internal chemicals generate stress concentration when operated due to turbulence, laminar flow, pressure, temperature, friction, etc. It causes cumulative fatigue damage, which can damage or rupture chemical facilities and devices. The statistics of chemical accidents found that the highest rate of occurrence was in summer, and in the last five years statistics on chemical accidents, leakage incidents make up a decent percentage of accidents. Chemical leaks can cause serious human damage and economic damage, including explosions and environmental pollution. In this study, based on the leak accident of chemical plant, the risk analysis, and damage effects assessment were estimated using a 3D scanner and FLACS. As a result, if chemicals leak in summer, the risk is higher than in other seasons, the seasonal safety management measures, and countermeasure were estimated.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes of surface runoff by comparisons between burned and unburned area after forest fire. The amount of surface runoff in burned area was more high 1.72 times in the year of fire, 1.44 times in one year later, 1.38 times in five years later and 1.16 times in ten years later than those of unburned area. Therefore, surface runoff in the burned area almost tended to be stabilized like unburned area ten year later after forest fire. The most affecting factors on the amount of surface runoff in burned and unburned area were number of unit rainfall, number of rainfall accumulated and unit rainfall. But coverage was shown to mitigate the amount of surface runoff in burned and unburned area.

This study was conducted to determine the impact of elevated temperature in growing season on the growth and fruit quality of red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) by cultivating pepper in the temperature gradient tunnels. Plant height, stem diameter, leaf number and total leaf area, fresh weight and dry weight increased at ambient $+2^{\circ}C$ temperature, whereas each leaf area decreased as temperature increased. The plants grown under ambient $+2^{\circ}C$ temperature showed the greatest number of flower and fruit. Fruit weight, fruit length and fruit diameter decreased as the temperature increasing gradually. Total fruit number, total fruit weight and total dry fruit weight was the highest at ambient $+2^{\circ}C$ temperature. Major free sugars of red pepper fruit were fructose and glucose. Free sugar content of red pepper according to the differences in harvesting times and in growth temperature showed a little differences. The yield of red pepper fruit at ambient $+2^{\circ}C$ temperature increased by 13% compared with the control. However, the yield of red pepper fruit at ambient $+4^{\circ}C$ temperature decreased by 20% as compared to control. Non-marketable fruits (diseased fruit, malformed fruit and small sized fruit) increased as the temperature rised.

Flowering time has been put forward due to the recent abnormally warm winter, which often caused damages of flower buds by late frosts persistently. In the present study, cumulative chill unit and cumulative heat unit of Niitaka pear, which are required for releasing the endogenous dormancy and for flowering after breaking dormancy, respectively, were compared between flowering time prediction models used in South K orea. Observation weather data were collected at eight locations for the recent three years from 2018-2020. The dates of full bloom were also collected to determine the confidence level of models including DVR, mDVR and CD models. It was found that mDVR model tended to have smaller values (8.4%) of the coefficient of variation (cv) of chill units than any other models. The CD model tended to have a low value of cv (17.5%) for calculation of heat unit required to reach flowering after breaking dormancy. The mDVR model had the most accurate prediction of full bloom during the study period compared with the other models. The DVR model usually had poor skills in prediction of full bloom dates. In particular, the error of the DVR model was large especially in southern coastal areas (e.g., Ulju and Sacheon) where the temperature was warm. Our results indicated that the mDVR model had relatively consistent accuracy in prediction of full bloom dates over region and years of interest. When observation data for full bloom date are compiled for an extended period, the full bloom date can be predicted with greater accuracy improving the mDVR model further.
