The important design factors for designing solid lubricating of dynamic seal are tightness, wear resistance and lubricant films. In this study, the effect factors influenced solid lubricating properties of the graphite were analyzed and wear behaviour caused for various test conditions was compared with results obtained from reciprocating wear tests. Also the optimal conditions for formation of lubricant films were investigate to evaluate wear properties of graphite materials. The repeated procedure for the formation of wear particles and lubricant films, and the dissipation of lubricant films was estimated the wear mechanisms with changes of wear depth. Therefore the lubricant film of graphite seal was generated by adhesion of wear particles on the worn surface and it was very useful in wear characteristics.

Fracture toughness of rock is a constant that can indicate the initiation and propagation of cracks due to blasting, excavation, etc. Scaled model tests have been applied to the behavior of tunnels and the stability of limestone mines. Through the scaled model, damaged zone evaluation due to blasting is also carried out, and the scale factor is not applied to the failure-related factors. In this study, DCT (diametral compression test) and finite element method ATENA2D numerical analysis results were compared to determine whether the scale factor could be applied to the fracture toughness of rock. The theoretical values of the scale factor applied to the fracture toughness of the rock and the DCT test results and the numerical results are 0.21~0.46, 0.40, and 0.99MPa ${\sqrt{m}}$ respectively, so these three values should be considered when determining scale factor. It is necessary to derive a suitable scale factor in consideration of the length, time, and mass to which the scale factor is applied, as well as the values of the scale factor of major design factors such as uniaxial compressive strength and density.

Ultrasonic waveguide sensor has been developed for under-sodium viewing of reactor internal structures of a sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR). The structure design concept of a waveguide sensor assembly was suggested and evaluated for the application in SFR. A 10 m long ultrasonic waveguide sensor assembly has been manufactured and the experimental feasibility tests were carried out. The 10 m long distance propagation performance of zero-order antisymmetric $A_0$ Lamb wave has been verified. The feasibility of ultrasonic waveguide sensor has been demonstrated by the C-scanning resolution performance test.

The IMO has adopted emission standards that strictly restrict the use of bunker C oil for vessels. Accordingly, research and bunkering pilot projects for LNG fueled ships are being actively carried out, which is expected to substantially reduce environmental pollution. In this study, we have adopted the turret moored Floating LNG Bunkering Terminal (FLBT) designed to receive the LNG from LNGCs and to transfer LNG to LNG bunkering shuttles in ship to ship moored condition. Numerical simulations have been performed with a 1-year return period of wind, wave, and current. Damping values of numerical model were adjusted from the results of model tests to obtain accurate simulation results. The results confirm safe berthing operation during the 1-year return period of environmental condition. Safety depends on the direction of environment, with increasingly stable operation facilitated by the application of heading-control function of FLBT to avoid beam-sea conditions.

In this paper, the strength of the composite securement device was characterised by FE analysis. Preliminary frontal crash analysis for the vehicle, equipped with the conventional steel securement device, was carried out according to the ISO 10542 for special transportation to obtain loading data, which were applied to securement device during crash. The securement device consists of block, guide and rail and the weight fraction of rail was the highest among them, therefore, it is desirable to reduce weight of rail by applying carbon/epoxy composite. Also, it was found that 27% of lightweight effect was obtained by hybrid rail that bottom part was replaced by a composite compared to the conventional rail, i.e., made of SAPH 440, without sacrificing the structural strength.

In this paper, we present the results of experimental and analytical investigations on the structural behavior of GFRP pipes used in the water supply pipeline system. Cross-section of the pipe is consisted with two GFRP tubes and polymer mortar between the tubes. Due to the advantages such as light-weight, corrosion resistance, smooth surface, flexibility, etc., use of GFRP pipe in the water supply pipeline system is ever increasing trend. Therefore, more optimized structural design methodology should be developed. In the investigation, we conducted theoretical and analytical studies on the load versus radial deformation characteristics of GFRP pipes. In addition, ring stiffness test is also performed. Test results are compared with theoretical and analytical results and it was found that the results are agreed well within 5% of radial deformation. Finally, it was also found that the GFRP pipes used in the water supply pipeline system are strong enough to satisfy the industrial requirements.

Concrete has advantages in fire situations as it is non-combustible and has low thermal conductivity. However, concrete that is not designed against fire can experience significant explosive spalling from the build-up of pore pressures and internal tensile stresses when heated. In this study, the performance of wet-mixed high strength sprayed polymer mortar for fire resistance of tunnel system was evaluated by experimentally and numerically. The fire test was performed in fire resistance(electric) furnace according to RABT(Richtlinien fur die Ausstatung und den Betrieb von $Stra{\beta}entunneln$) time heating temperature curve, so as to evaluate the temperature distribution with cover thickness of wet-mixed high strength sprayed polymer mortar for fire resistance of tunnel system. Based on experimental results and numerical analysis, the proper cover thickness of wet-mixed high strength sprayed polymer mortar determined the more than 4cm.

As research results showed that ozonated olive oil has excellent therapeutic effects on skin diseases, attempts were made to develop cosmetics manufacturing technology using ozone. Ozone is harmful to the human body, so a separate facility must be prepared to manufacture ozonated olive oil as a cosmetic raw material. The manufacturing device developed in this study was designed as an optimized process for manufacturing cosmetics while ensuring the safety of workers involved in production. To verify the ozonated olive oil produced from the implemented device, a toxicity test was conducted on animals. After applying ozonated oil (high concentration) to the rabbit's back for 24 hours, mortality, general symptoms and symptoms were measured. A skin irritation evaluation was performed. As a result of the experiment, as a result of evaluating the test substance treatment area after a certain period of time, it was confirmed that no skin irritation was observed in all animals, confirming the safety of the ozonated oil production process and the safety of the product.

This study was conducted for the purpose of examinating the safety and economical efficiency of large high tension bolted joints. The specimen using F10T-M30 large high strength bolts has been selected and static tensile test has been conducted to evaluate the slip characteristics. In addition, finite element analysis has been carried out to estimate the number of required bolts. As a result, the average slip coefficient of M30 high strength bolts exceeded 0.4 - the standard in highway bridge design specification - and has satisfied the slip strength, which is the same as that of M22 high strength bolts. In addition, if F13T-M22 high strength bolts were applied, the number of required bolts decreased by 21%, and if F10T-M30 high strength bolts were applied, the number of required bolts decreased by 46%, that leads to the conclusion that the economical efficiency in accordance with diametering of high strength bolts was now verified.
