This paper analyzes on the radiation effect of silicon solar cells in a low Earth orbit satellite by using high energy electron beams. Generally, the satellite circling round in a low orbit go through Van Allen belt, in which electronic components are easily damaged and shortened by charged particles moving in a cycle between the South Pole and the North Pole. For example, Single Event Upset (SEU) by radiation could cause electronic devices on satellite to malfunction. From the ground experiment in which we used the high energy electron beam facility at Knrea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), we tried to explain sun sensor degradations on orbit could he caused by high energy electrons. While we focused on the solar cells used for light detectors, We convince our research also contributes to understand the radiation effect of solar cells generating electric powers on satellites.

Structural tests for the mixing head of a 75tonf class thrust chamber were performed to verify structural stability. The mixing head of a thrust chamber is loaded by high pressure with regeneratively cooled fuel and cryogenic liquid oxygen(LOx) as well as it transfers thrust load generated by liquid rocket engine. Therefore structural stability of mixing head is a very important factor to work without any plastic deformation or structural failure. In this study, two mixing heads were manufactured using different welding methods, Tungsten Inert Gas(TIG) welding and Electron Beam Welding(EBW) and evaluated a structural stability. The results of structural tests showed that the mixing head assembled by EBW can withstand the applied design load without any structural failures and be structurally more stable than that of TIG welding.

Potentially lethal damage repair (PLDR) in HFL-I was investigated by delayed plating experiments. The surviving fraction data were fitted to the linear Quadratic equation ($LogSn=-n{\gamma}({\alpha}d+{\beta}d^2$) where ${\gamma}=1$ for immediate plating). And a repair factor ${\gamma}$ was developed to compare survival for immediate and delayed plating. When we only took into account the repair factor of PLDR ${\gamma}$ which was derived from the delay assay, the cell survival response th fractionated carbon ion irradiation was not fully matched. This gap suggested that consideration of another repair process is necessary. So this suggests that the various repair process plays an important role in the fractionated irradiations.

In this paper, the feasibility of using Shannon's sampling theorem to reconstruct exact mode shapes of a structural system from a limited number of sensor points and localizing damage in that structure with reconstructed mode shapes is investigated. Shannon's sampling theorem for the time domain is reviewed. The theorem is then extended to the spatial domain. To verify the usefulness of extended theorem, mode shapes of a simple beam are reconstructed from a limited amount of data and the reconstructed mode shapes are compared to the exact mode shapes. On the basis of the results, a simple rule is proposed for the optimal placement of accelerometers in modal parameter extraction experiments. Practicality of the proposed rule and the extended Shannon's theorem is demonstrated by detecting damage in laboratory beam structure with two-span via applying to mode shapes of pre and post damage states.

High-energy and high-dose X-ray and electron beam have been used in radiation therapy after developing particle accelerators. It is recommended to irradiate patients exect real dose for improving therapy effectiveness by International Committee on Radiation Units and Measurement. The radiation detector for daily beam checks of medical accelerators is described. Using thirteen silicon diodes, we have designed the diode detector providing information about calibration, beam symmetry, flatness, stability variation according to radiation damage, time and general quality assurance for both photon and eletron beams. we also compared these measurement values with those of using ionization chamber, film and semiconductor dosimeter.

직격뇌가 높은 건축물에 치거나 인접 건물로부터 뇌전류가 유입되었을 때 잘못된 피뢰설비로 인한 피해는 매우 심각한 실정이다. 낙뢰가 치는 순간에 반도체와 같은 민감한 전자부품을 사용하는 전자 및 통신기기는 뇌전류로 인한 전자기장의 영향으로 오동작이 발생하거나 부품의 손상을 입기가 쉽다. 본 논문에서는 건축물 구조체에 직격뇌가 유입되었을 때 건축물 구조체 및 건물 주위에 나타나는 전위분포특성을 연구하였다. 본 논문에서 30m 높이 건축물의 상부 모서리와 중앙부 그리고 건축물 하부 모서리와 중앙부로 뇌전류가 유입된다고 가정하여 건축물의 전계분포특성을 시뮬레이션하였으며, 뇌전류는 2중 지수함수형태로 모의된 20kA 임펄스 서지 전류를 주입하였다. 뇌서지 전류의 주파수 특성은 Fast Fourier Transform(FFT)을 이용하여 얻었으며, 얻어진 주파수 값을 이용하여 건축물 구조체와 인접지역의 Scalar Potentials과 Electric Fields의 특성을 시뮬레이션하였다. 또한 철골 빔 건축물의 철골 빔에 직접 뇌전류가 유입되는 경우와 건물 하부의 접지전극에 뇌전류가 유입되는 경우로 분리 하여 연구하였다. 그 결과 뇌전류의 유입경로가 건축물의 모서리부분 보다는 중심부에 위치될 때 전위 및 전계 크기가 작았으며 건축 철골구조물보다 건축물 하부에 접지전극이 설치될 때 더 낮은 전계 값을 갖는 것을 확인하였다.

열차폐 코팅(Thermal Barrier Coating)은 주로 항공기 엔진이나 화력발전용 터빈 등의 $1300^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 사용되는 부품에 적용되어 모재(내열합금)의 손상 방지 및 에너지 효율 향상을 위해 사용되고 있다. 열차폐 코팅의 경우 Plasma Spray 공법과 EB-PVD(전자빔 물리 증착법) 공법이 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. Plasma Spray에 의한 열차폐 코팅 공정은 생산 비용이 저렴하고 수평형 적층 구조를 통한 높은 열전도율을 가지는 장점이 있으며, EB-PVD 공정은 수직형 구조의 열차폐막을 통해 내열 충격성과 내열 사이클성이 양호하다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 열 사이클의 내구성이 뛰어난EB-PVD를 이용하여 열차폐 코팅 공정연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구소에서 사용하고 있는 EB-PVD 는 종래의 장치와는 달리 70 kW급 전자총 5기가 장착 되어 있으며, 각각 시편 가열용 전자총 2기 및 피코팅용 가열 전자총 3기로 구성되어 있다. 이런 구성을 통해 다양한 종류의 열차폐 박막과 높은 결정성과 치밀도를 가지는 박막 형성할 수 있을 것이다. 본 발표에서는 EB-PVD 공정 연구결과 및 향후 실용화를 위한 개발 연구 방향에 대해서 기술하였다.

The lasing characteristics of a Nd:phosphate glass laser pumped by 514 nm of an $Ar^{+}$ laser has been investigated. The oscillator consists of a Nd:glass gain medium set at Brewster angle, and two concave mirrors, and a flat mirror with a reflectance of 98%. The $Ar^{+}$ laser pumping beam is focused longitudinally at the beam waist of laser mode for efficient pumping. The pumping beam is chopped at 100 Hz to reduce the heat loading to prevent the thermal damage of the gain medium by the latent heat from the absorbed pumping beam. The maximum laser output power of 70 mW at 1.5 W pumping and the threshold input power of 520 mW have been obtained.

Opportunistic Beamforming (OBF) offers a way to provide the multiuser diversity even in slow fading channel by using randomly generated beam weights, leading to the substantially reduced feedback in the form of the instantaneous SNR from users. In spite of the advantage of the reduced feedback, the imperfect channel estimation might influence the quality of the estimated SNR and channel scheduler so bad that the selected AMC level would be higher than the achievable rate of the actual channel, resulting the corruption of transmitted packet. In this paper, we propose a conservative link adaptation, where the estimated SNR is scaled down by a conservative factor which minimizes the variance of the maximum difference between the actual channel SNR and the resultant SNR. To support the proposed scheme, we analyze the statistics of the difference of the channel SNR and the estimated SNR. Simulation results show that the introduction of conservative factor achieves more than two-fold performance improvement in the presence of channel estimation error and the fairness of PF scheduler is maintained when the least squared channel estimator is applied.

It is of great importance to localize leakages in complex pipelines for assuring their safety. A sensor array that can detect where leakages occur enables us to monitor a wide area with a relatively low cost. Beamforming is a fast and efficient algorithm to estimate where sources are, but it is generally made use of in free field condition. In practice, however, many pipelines are placed in a closed space for the purpose of safety and maintenance. This leads us to take reflected waves into account to the beamforming for interior leakage localization. Beam power distribution of reflected waves in a closed space is formulated, and spatial average is introduced to suppress the effect of reflected waves. Computer simulations and experiments ensure how the proposed method is effective to localize leakage in a closed space for structural health monitoring.
