In this study, the fracture energy and displacement fields characteristics of particulate reinforced composite is evaluated. Wedge splitting test was performed at various temperatures. Fracture energy of material is calculated at room temperature, $-40^{\circ}C$ and $-60^{\circ}C$. Displacement and strain fields of specimen surface were visualized by using digital image correlation. The surface displacement fields of the specimens were analyzed by mark tracking method using digital image correlation. The results showed that, the fracture energy was decreased as temperature decreased. The surface displacement fields at room temperature were similar to there at $-40^{\circ}C$. The surface displacement fields at $-60^{\circ}C$ was significantly reduced because of the brittle behavior. The strain fields of the specimen surface decreased as temperature decreased form room temperature to $-60^{\circ}C$.

In this study, a cold flow test was carried out on a high-speed vehicle facility with a high-altitude environment simulator. Variable test was carried out according to the blockage ratio, angle, and length of the test model. It is confirmed that the blockage rate can be operated in the range of 40%, and that the model should be selected at an angle of 45 degrees or less. The variables of length are less dominant compared to the variables of blockage rate and angle. Through this, a database is obtained according to the parameters of the conical model of the high-speed vehicle test facility.

본 연구는 사용후핵연료 수송 저장 용기인 저합금강(SA350 LF3)에 일정의 감마선을 조사하고 감마선 조사 전후 물성 및 내식 특성 변화와 표면처리에 의한 내식성 개선 효과에 관하여 연구하였다. 상온 항복강도 및 인장강도의 기계적 물성은 감마선 조사 여부에 따라 물성의 차이는 보이지 않았지만, 저온충격 특성은 감마선 조사를 하지 않은 충격 흡수에너지에 비교하여 조사후 시험편의 충격 흡수 에너지가 감소되었다. 양분극 곡선에 측정에 의해 관찰된 저합금강의 내식성은 감마선 조사된 시험편에서 감마선을 조사하지 않은 시험편 보다 낮은 부식전위를 나타내었다.

원자력 발전소 배관계통에 파단전 누설 (LBB) 설계개념의 적용을 위해서는 원자로 가동온도에서의 재료의 파괴저항성 평가가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 원자로의 1차 냉각계통배관의 엘보우 소재로 사용되는 SA516-Gr.70 강의 파괴저항성에 미치는 DSA (Dynamic Strain Aging, 동적변형시효) 영향을 고찰하였다. 파괴저항성 평가를 위해 원자로 가동온도를 포함한 상온~50$0^{\circ}C$ 온도영역에서 준정적 하중에서부터 지진 하중 정도의 동적 하중까지 하중속도를 달리하여 직류전위차법 (DCPD) 이용하여 J-R 시험을 행하였다. J-R 시험결과, SA516-Gr.70 강은 특정한 온도와 하중속도의 조합에서 파괴저항성이 크게 떨어지는 양상을 보였으며, 낮은 파괴저항성을 나타내는 온도는 하중속도가 증가함에 따라 높은 온도쪽으로 이동하는 전형적인 DSA 감수성을 보였다. 인장시험을 통해서도 큰 폭의 serration 이 관찰되었으며 SA516-Gr.70 강에서 파괴저항성의 변화와 DSA 현상과의 연관성을 고찰하였다.

핵연료 피복관용 Zr신합금을 개발하기 위해서 16종의 신합금을 설계하였다. 설계된 합금은 진공아크용해, $\beta$-열처리, 열간압연, 냉간압연 및 진공열처리의 공정에 의해 판재로 제조되었으며 이들 시편에 대해 35$0^{\circ}C$와 40$0^{\circ}C$에서 부식시험, 상온과 고온에서 인장시험 및 40$0^{\circ}C$에서 크립시험을 실시하여 신합금의 특성을 평가하였다. Zr-Nb-Sn계에 Fe, V, Te, Sb, Ru, Pd의 다른 원소를 미량 첨가하는 다원계 합금에서 Fe와 Cr은 부식특성을 향상시키는데 매우 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. Sb는 기계적강도를 향상시키고 Fe, Cr원소는 연신율을 증가시키는 원소로 밝혀졌으며 Sb와 V은 크립저항성을 매우 향상시킨다. 16종의 합금중 2-3종의 합금은 기존의 Zircaloy-4보다 우수한 내식성을 보였으며 Zr-Nb-Sn-FeCr합금은 ZIRLO와 유사한 부식저항성을 나타냈다. 부식과 크립저항성을 동시에 향상시키기 위해서는 Fe, Cr, Sb원소를 적절히 함유시킨 합금에 대해서 집중적인 연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

A tensile test evaluation of a polypropylene plate was carried out using an Instron tester with a capacity of 500 kgf. To evaluate the strain rate sensitivity of the polypropylene plate with a thickness of 0.8 mm, a tensile test was performed at room temperature through strain rate variations from $5{\times}10^{-4}/sec$ to $5{\times}10^{-2}/sec$. From these, the changes in strength due to the strain rate change and temperature change were compared. As a result of the experiment, the strength increased with increasing initial strain rate. Polypropylene was found to be a material with a positive strain rate sensitivity. In addition, the high temperature tensile properties of the polypropylene plate were evaluated using high temperature tensile tests at 80, 120, and $160^{\circ}C$. The strength decreased with increasing temperature. In particular at $160^{\circ}C$, the tensile strength decreased to zero. The increase in yield strength and the tensile strength at room temperature, $80^{\circ}C$ and $120^{\circ}C$ were similar. At $160^{\circ}C$, however, there was almost no increase in strength because the stress approached zero. In the high temperature tensile test, the tensile strength increased more than the increase in yield strength with increasing strain rate.

Surfactant-enhanced air sparging (SEAS) was developed to suppress the surface tension of groundwater prior to air sparging resulting in higher air saturation and larger contact area between NAPL and gas during air sparging. Larger contacting interface between NAPL and gas means faster mass transfer of contaminants from NAPL to gas phase. This new technique, however, is limited to relatively volatile contaminants because vaporization is its basic mechanism of mass transfer. In this study, SEAS was tested at an elevated temperature for a semi-volatile n-decane, which is expected not to be a good candidate of SEAS application due to its low vapor pressure at ambient temperature. Three sparging experiments were conducted using 1-dimensional column (5 cm id, 80 cm length) packed with sand; (1) ambient temperature ($23^{\circ}C$), column saturated with distilled water, (2) SEAS at ambient temperature ($23^{\circ}C$), for n-decane contaminated sand, (3) SEAS at elevated temperature ($73^{\circ}C$), for n-decane contaminated sand. Higher air saturation was achieved by SEAS compared to that by air sparging without surfactant application. The n-decane removal efficiency of SEAS at elevated temperature was significantly higher(> 10 times) than that of ambient SEAS. The n-decane concentrations in the gas effluent from column during SEAS at $73^{\circ}C$ are found to be 10 times of those measured at ambient temperature. Thus, SEAS technique can be applied for removal of semi-volatile contaminants provided that an appropriate technique for elevating aquifer temperature is available.

This study conducted tensile tests on SA508 Gr.1a low alloy steel and SA312 TP316 stainless steel piping materials under various strain rates at room temperature (RT) and $316^{\circ}C$ to investigate the effects of loading rate on the deformation behavior of nuclear piping materials. At RT, the deformation behavior for both pipe materials showed a typical loading rate dependence, i.e., the strength increased and the ductility decreased as the loading rate increased. At $316^{\circ}C$, however, the strength and elongation of SA508 Gr.1a low alloy steel decreased as the loading rate increased, and its reduction of area non-linearly varied with the loading rate. For SA312 TP316 stainless steel, the strength, elongation, and reduction of area at $316^{\circ}C$ were almost the same regardless of the loading rate. At both temperatures, the strain hardening capacity was nearly independent of the loading rate for SA508 Gr.1a low alloy steel, while it decreased with increasing loading rate for SA312 TP316 stainless steel.

Hydrodynamic performance test was conducted for a fuel pump of a liquid rocket engine turbopump. The pump driven by an electric motor was tested using water. It is experimentally shown that the inducer had very small effect on the pump's head and efficiency but great effect on the pump's cavitation performance. Additionally, inducer test was carried out to investigate the effect of the inducer on the pump in detail, and it was found that the pump reached a critical cavitation number when the inducer head dropped by 55%.
