To improve the durability of a hydrogen pressure vessel which is applied high-pressure, it needs the autofrettage process which induces compressive residual stress in the Aluminum liner. This study presents the elasto-plastic analysis to predict the behavior of structure accurately, and the Tsai-Wu failure criterion is applied to predict failure of pressure vessel of Aluminum liner and composite materials. Generally, plastic analysis is more complex than elastic analysis and has much time to predict. To complement its weakness, the AxicomPro(EXCEL program), applied radial return algorithm and nonlinear classical laminate theory (CLT), is developed for predicting results with more simple and accurate than the existing finite element analysis programs.

The containment failure probability due to hydrogen burning during severe accidents proceeding in a low pressure sequence is calculated using Monte Carlo method. The probability distribution functions for this Monte Carlo calculation is obtained from the statistical method. The calculations are performed for Kori unit 2, and the sensitivity studies on the input variables-the amount of hydrogen generated at SFD, cerium diameter, cerium length, oxidation rate at FCI, and the amount of hydrogen generated during MCCI-are also performed. It is revealed that SFD is the main factor in hydrogen generation, but the other sources also cannot be neglected. The containment failure probability due to the hydrogen burning lies within 6% in case of Kori unit 2.

Destruction phenomena of structure by gas explosion is due to the explosion pressure and heat. Explosion pressure is a kind of energy converted from the gas mixture explosion. In this paper, we tried to find the relationship between explosion characteristics and combustion heat of the hydrocarbon-oxygen mixtures. Experiment were carried out with the volume of $5916cm^3$ cylindrical explosion vessel. Hydrocarbon gases which used in this study were methane, ethylene, propane, and buthane Experimental parameter was the concentration of the gas mixtures. Explosion characteristics were measured with strain type pressure transducer through the digital storage oscilloscope. From the experimental result, it was found that explosion pressure depend upon the combustion heat.

Gas explosion characteristics of hydrogen and liquefied petroleum gas(LPG) were measured in 6L cylindrical vessel, and experiment for explosion to fire transition phenomena of the gases were carried out using the 270L vessel. Explosion characteristics were measured using the stain type pressure transducer and explosion to fire transition phenomena was analyzed with the hish-speed camera. Base on the experiment, it was found that explosion pressure was most high slightly above the stoichiometric concentration, and explosion pressure rise rate and flame propagation velocity were proportional to the combustion velocity. And we find that those kind of explosion characteristics affect the explosion-to-fire transition, in addition, explosion flame temperature, flame residence time, are important parameters in explosion-to-fire transition.

미국 국방부 소속 육군차량사업부(National A Automotive Center)는 대체에너지를 이용한 군용 차량 개발을 위해 Michigan 주 Rochester Hills에 위치한 E Energy Conversion Devices(ECD) 사와 일부 기술 개발 에 대한 기술 제휴를 한다고 발표했다. 국방부는 태양전 지와 수소를 연료로 사용하는 대체에너지 차량을 개발하 기 위해 ECD에 1단계 연구에 필요한 연구비를 지원했다. 이번 연구에는 연료전지를사용한차량개발을위해 5 500,$\omega$0달러가 투자되는데, Texaco Ovollic Hydrogen S Systems(TOHC)의 고체 휴대용 수소 연료와 채충천 (refueling) 시스탬이 주요 개발 목표로 설정됐다. ECD의 역할은 최근 개발된 Toyota Prius에 시범 적으로 장착된 저압 고체형 수소 저장 시스템의 기술을 군용 차량에 알맞게 전환시키는 것이다. TOHC와 ECD가 개발한 고체형 수소 보관 시스댐은 고압을 요구하는 연료전지 차량의 수소 저 장 시스템이 갖고 있는 많은 문제점들을 해결할 수 있을 것으로 기대되는 연료전지를 이용한 엔진 개발 중 최신 기술이다. 특히 전투 상황에서 차량이 폭발하기 쉬운 수소 저장 탱크를 장착한 채 전 장으로간다는 것은적에게 노출 될 경우자살과마찬가지인 치명적인 피해를 입을수 있다. 이 프로젝트의 개요를 살펴보면, 수소 저장 시스템은 적어도 약 lOkg의 수소를 적은 용적 내에 낮은 압력에서 안전하게 고체 상태로 저장할 수 있다. 이 고체 저장 용기는 하루에 두 번 1.7kg의 수소를 10분 이내에 재급유할 수 있다. 수소는대부분고압가스형태나저온액체 형태로보관된다. 기체나액체 형태의 수소는 연료전 지에 사용되기에는 적합하지 않은 점이 많다. Ovonie 수소 저장 방법은 수소를 저압 고체 형태 ( (metal hydride)로 보관하는 방법으로, 고압 기체나 저온 액체가 갖고 있는 많은 문제점들을 해결 할수있다. 그림을 참조하면 고체 형태의 수소 보관 방법이 다른 보관 방법에 비교해 단위 체적당 최고 6배 많은수소질량을보관할수 있다. 이 고체 형태의 보관방법은수소가적절한합금과평형 압력 이 상의 환경에 놓일 경우 합금에 홉착되는 현상을 이용하고 있다. 수소를 흡수한 합금은 새로운 특성 을 가진 metal hydride로 변하게 된다. 이 과정 에서 열이 부산물로 발생한다. 반대로 수소를 metal hydride로부터 분리시키기 위해서는 합금을 가열해야 한다.

Tow Prepreg is the intermediate material for filament winding process that has been "pre-impregnated fiber tow" with resin system. As "dry filament winding" process emerges as a reliable alternative to conventional filament winding (called "wet filament winding") process, interest in tow prepreg as a material for dry filament winding is rising as well. In this article, we have reviewed the recent research trends in carbon fiber tow prepreg for high-performance rocket motor cases, fuel tanks for hydrogen vehicles and other high-quality commercial pressure vessels.

FCV is installed with a automatic valve attached in an high pressure cylinder to control the hydrogen flow. The supply of hydrogen from the cylinder into the fuel cell stack is controlled via the on/off operation of a solenoid attached to the automatic valve. The solenoid needs to provide the necessary attraction force even at any saturation temperature caused by drive of the vehicle. In this study, the simplified prediction equations for the saturation temperature are suggested. The finite element analysis was performed by steady state technique, according to the boundary condition in order to predict the saturation temperature and attraction force. Finally, the saturation temperature was validated through comparison between the analysis results and measurement results. From the results, the measured saturation temperature $5.9^{\circ}C$ lower with respect to the analysis results. And the error of attraction force ranged from 1.0 to 2.1 N at testing conditions.

Composite pressure vessels made through filament winding are widely used in various fields. Numerous studies regarding composite pressure vessels have been conducted in the automotive industry to improve the space efficiency of trunks as well as the fuel efficiency. Compared with steel liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vessels used in the conventional LPG vehicles, the use of type 4 composite pressure vessels has advantages in terms of reduction of the weight of vehicles. This study focused on development of type 4 composite pressure vessels that can be installed in the spare tire well. Those type 4 composite pressure vessels are designed with torispherical dome shapes instead of geodecis dome shapes because of the space limitation. To reduce deformation due to the stresses in the axial direction of the vessels, thereby securing the safety of the container, the reinforcing bar concept was applied. A structural analysis software, ABAQUS, confirmed the effect of the reinforcing bar on the axial deformation through the type 4 composite pressure vessel. As a result, the final winding angle of the composite layer was analyzed by applying $26^{\circ}/28^{\circ}/26^{\circ}/28^{\circ}/26^{\circ}/88^{\circ}$ The tensile stress was 939.2 MPa and the compressive stress was 249.3 MPa.

An analysis is presented of key phenomena and scenario which imply some general trends for beyond design-basis-accident in Kori-1 PWR dry containment. The study covers a wide range of severe accident sequences initiated by small break LOCA. The MARCH computer code, with KAERI modifications was used in this analysis. The major emphasis of the paper are two folds, 1) the phenomenologic understanding of severe accident and 2) a study of H2 combustion and debris/ water interactions in a specific small break LOCA for Kori-1 plant. The sensitivity studies for the specific plant data and thermal interaction modelings used in the SASA were performed. The results show that if hydrogen burning does occur at low concentration, the resulting peak pressure does not exceed the design value, while the lower concentration assumption results in repeated burning due to the continuing H$_2$ generation. For debris/water interaction, the particle size has no effect on the magnitude of peak pressure for the amount of water assumed to be in the reactor cavity. But, the occurrence of peak pressure is considerably delayed in case of using the dryout correlation. The peak containment pressure predicted from the hydrogen combustion and steam pressure spite during full core meltdown scenario does not present a severe threat to the containment integrity.
