산업이 고도화 첨단화 됨에 따라 전력의 안정성과 신뢰성이 중요한 문제로 인식되고 있고, 한 순간의 정전도 허용하지 않는 전력설비의 열화진단이 점점 중요한 과제로 제기되고 있다 특히 전력 설비에서 가장 중요한 것은 변압기의 신뢰성으로 절연지의 성능에 크게 영향을 받으며, 이것은 권선의 절연 특성에 상당한 영향을 준다. 그러므로 절연지의 열화상태 파악은 변압기 권선에서 발생할 수 있는 주요 문제를 예측하는데 필수적이며, 이런 문제의 사전예측은 치명적인 고장과 다른 설비에 대한 2차적 손상을 피할 수 있다.(중략)

Catastrophe risk models require the damage functions of each vulnerable item in inventory to estimate volcanic ash losses. The damage functions are used to represent the relation between damage factors and damage and also widely used in engineering and natural hazard studies to calculate the vulnerability. In most cases, damage functions are constructed as fragility or vulnerability curves, and researchers are confused by the similarities between them particularly when they perform interdisciplinary research. Thus, we aim to explain the similarities and differences between fragility and vulnerability curves and their relationship by providing case studies to construct them. In addition, we suggest a simple method to construct the damage functions between damage ratio and volcanic ash thickness using limited damage data. This study comes from the fact that damage functions are generally constructed using damage data. However, there is no available volcanic ash damage data in Korea, and not even enough volcanic disaster data to construct damage functions in the world, compared to other hazards. Using the method suggested in the study and the limited damage data from Japan and New Zealand, we construct Weibull-type functions or linear functions dependent of available data to calculate volcanic ash loss estimation, which we think need to be corrected to make it more suitable for inventory characteristics and environmental conditions in Korea.

This study was examined the tensile strength change of a circular tubular member with artificial sectional damage on its surface to consider surface sectional damage by corrosion. The tensile strength tests were conducted using circular tubular specimens with artificial sectional damage considering sectional damaged height and width on its surface according to the corrosion level. From the tensile strength test results, it is confirmed that tensile strength of the circular tubular specimens was affected by the damaged circumference (damaged width), not damaged length (damaged height) and their tensile failures were appeared at the minimum section of the artificial sectional damage part. Nonlinear finite-element analyses were conducted considering equivalent sectional damage effect on sectional damaged part in tensile specimens to examine the change in the tensile strength of tubular specimens with artificial sectional damage since it is difficult to estimate the sectional damaged surface condition of the specimens clearly. From the nonlinear finite element analysis results for the tensile test specimens, tensile strengths of test specimens with irregular sectional damaged surface were relatively evaluated to be highly decreased than these of FE analysis model with equivalent sectional damage. Therefore, residual tensile strengths of tensile members with irregular sectional damage as local corrosion can be evaluated and predicted using correlation coefficient between tensile test results and FE analysis results with equivalent sectional damage.

Fatigue damage analysis of ships includes parameters considering operational factors. Due to these operational variables, there is a difference between the fatigue damage estimated during the design stage and the actual accumulated fatigue damage. Likewise, there are various loading conditions for the real container ships, but at design stage the fatigue damage is calculated by applying the representative loading conditions. Moreover, although the difference in fatigue damages is expected when the actual and design loading conditions are applied, there are few studies on the contributions of the fatigue damage based on the loading conditions of container ships. In this paper, fatigue contributions were investigated from various cargo weight distributions. The hull girder loads calculated through seakeeping analysis and fatigue damages obtained by performing spectral fatigue analysis were identified under new loading conditions. As a result, it was found that the variation of cargo weight distribution in the container ship brought about changes in the hull girder loads and fatigue damage by affecting the hull girder stress.

Damage in brittle rock due to stress increase starts from initiation of microcracks, and then results in failure by forming macro failure planes due to propagation and coalescence of these discrete cracks. Conventionally, continuum approaches using macro-failure criteria or a number of elasto-plastic models have been major solution to implement rock damage and failure. However, actual brittle failure processes can be better described in phenomenological approach if initiation and propagation of discrete fractures are explicitly considered. This study presents damage and failure process of rock using a boundary element code, FRACOD, which has been developed to model fracturing process of rocks. Through a series of numerical uniaxial compressive tests, the feasibility of the developed model was verified, and realistic rock failure process was reproduced considering scale effects in rocks. In addition, the fracturing process and the corresponding rock damage in the vicinity of deep shaft in rock mass were presented as an application of this approach. This approach will be expected to contribute to finding better engineering solutions for the analysis of stability problems in brittle rock masses.

Whereas a somatic pain notifies tissue damage, a neuropathic pain presents disorder of the nerve itself. The causes of neuropathic pains are trauma, infection, chronic irritation by adjacent tissue and so on. The iatrogenic trauma or infection also causes traumatic neuropathy, which may exert a bad influence on doctor-patient relationship. Some of related dental treatments are implantation (directly or indirectly through heating), root canal treatment, teeth extraction, block anesthesia, mandibular surgery. If inappropriate management is performed after nerve trauma, there will be many chances to develop chronic neuropathy for the patient. It is important that the sign of nerve trauma have to be caught by the practitioner as soon as possible and treated properly.

In recent years, the earthquake sequence in Christchurch, New Zealand (NZ) was unprecedented in terms of repeated earthquake shocks with substantial levels of ground motion affecting modern infrastructure, and in particular, broad and precise reports for liquefaction-induced permanent ground deformation (PGD) and repairs of wastewater (WW) pipelines were collected. In this study, a geographical information system (GIS) and linear regression analysis were performed using data for the length and repair points of earthenware (EW) and concrete (CONC) wastewater pipelines acquired after the MW 6.2 February 22, 2011 earthquake. The repair rates (repairs/km) for the EW and CONC wastewater pipelines were evaluated inside the areas of PGD, and both angular distortion of ground and lateral ground strain were calculated from the high resolution LiDAR data acquired before and after the seismic event. The research results showed that both pipelines have similar trends of damage but the CONC wastewater pipeline with higher stiffness showed less damage. The results of linear regression analyses can be used to predict the repair rates for EW and CONC wastewater pipelines inside the areas of PGD induced by future earthquakes.

PSC-I girder bridges constitute the largest proportion among highway bridges in Korea. According to the precision safety diagnosis data for the past 10 years, approximately 41.3% of the PSC-I bridges have been graded as C. Furthermore, with the increase in the aging of bridges, preemptive management is becoming more important. Damage and deterioration to the deck and girder with a long replacement cylce can have considerable impacts on the service and deterioration of a bridge. In addition, the high rate of device damages, including expansion joints and bearings, necessitates an investigation into the influence of the device damage in the structural members of the bridge. Therefore, this study defined representative PSC-I girder bridges with single and multiple spans to evaluate heterogeneous damages that incorporate the damage of the bridge member and device with the deterioration of the deck. The heterogeneous damages increased a crack area ratio compared to the individual single damage. For the single-span bridge, the occurrence of bearing damage leads to the spread of crack distribution in the girder, and in the case of multi-span bridges, expansion joint damage leads to the spread of crack distribution in the deck. The research underscores that bridge devices, when damaged, can cause subsequent secondary damage due to improper repair and replacement, which emphasizes the need for continuous observation and responsive action to the damages of the main devices.

최근의 관측에 의하면 우리 은하의 헤일로내 field에 위치한 subdwarf B 항성이 헬륨이 증가된 구상성단의 푸른 수평계열성 ( Extreme Blue Horizontal Branch ) 과 동일한 기원을 가질 것으로 예측된다. 초기 우주 환경과 비슷한 헬륨 함량을 보이는 환경에서는 Building Block 내부 이외에는 헬륨이 충분히 증가된 가스를 공급할 수 없기 때문에 이러한 기원을 가지는 sdB 항성의 개수를 예측함으로써 우리 은하의 초기 Building Block으로 부터 얼마나 많은 수의 항성이 헤일로에 뿌려졌는지 예측할 수 있다. 우리는 우리 은하내 나이가 많은 항성들로 이루어진 헤일로와 Bulge 내에 이러한 기원을 가지는 sdB 항성의 개수를 예측한 결과, 초기 Building Block으로 부터 유입된 sdB 항성이 최소 8만 여개 이상일 것으로 추정하였다. 이 개수는 우리 은하 구상 성단 중 은하 Building Block의 잔재로 생각되는 성단에 존재하는 헬륨이 증가된 수평계열성의 총 합의 10배 이상의 규모에 해당한다. 이는 이들 성단이 은하 생성 초기에는 현재의 질량 규모보다 최소 10배 이상 무거웠을 것이라는 가정과 일치하는 결과이다.
