In this study, imidazolium salt ionic liquid on amorphous silica was prepared and its catalytic performance in the cycloaddition of $CO_2$ with allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) to produce heterocyclic carbonate was investigated. The ionic liquid was generated on chloropropyl functionalized silica through the immobilization of imidazole. The prepared catalyst was characterized using a number of instrumental analysis including XRD, BET, $^{29}Si$ MAS-NMR and SEM. $^{29}Si$ MAS-NMR showed that the ionic liquid formed adduct with the chloropropyl groups attached to the silica surface. The immobilized ionic liquid showed very good catalytic activity for the cycloaddition of $CO_2$ with AGE, showing 55-61% of AGE conversion with over 85% of the carbonate selectivity at $80-120^{\circ}C$. Its AGE conversion and selectivity to the carbonate were even higher than the homogeneous analog, 1-n-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium bromide (BMImBr).

In this paper, the stress intensity factor, energy release rate and crack opening displacement are computed using the finite element method for axisymmetric viscoelastic cylinders with the penny-shaped and circumferential cracks. The triangular elements with quarter point nodes are used to describe the stress singularity around the crack edge. The analytical solutions are also derived by using the elastic-viscoelastic correspondence principle and compared with the numerical results to show the validity and accuracy of the presented method. Viscoelastic materials are assumed to behave elastically in dilatation and like a three-parameter standard linear solid.

The catalytic applicability of various ionic liquids immobilized on different silica-supports such as amorphous, SBA, MCM and commercial silica for the cycloaddition of $CO_2$ and epoxides is reviewed in this work. The effects of different structures of supported ionic liquids and silica supports in the synthesis cyclic carbonate by the cycloaddition of $CO_2$ have been remarked. The studies revealed that ionic liquids possessing functional groups or metals exhibited increased catalytic performance towards cyclic carbonate synthesis. Moreover, the reusability of SSIL catalyst and mechanism for the cycloaddition of $CO_2$ were studied.

The airbag system is known to be extremely efficient for the protection in an automobile crash. The performance of the airbag system is evaluated by real tests. However, the test is very difficult and expensive. Therefore, the computational simulations are carried out with low cost. The airbag analysis is included in the anlysis of the full-car crashworthiness. The behavior of the airbag can be predicted by a thermodynamic analysis. The contact force between the occupant and the airbag is calculated from the contact volume and the pressure in the airbag. The injury rate is evaluated from the contact force and the acceleration of dummies. So far, the contact is defined after the airgag is fully inflated. In many cases, the occupant is seated in the out-of-position and the contact can happen during the inflation process. A new algorithm has been developed for the out-of-position. To describe the inflation process precisely, the airbag is defined by a sphere and a torus. The injury is evaluated for the contact happened at any time. The developed algorithm is coded and interfaced with an existing software in the public domain. The full-car modeling is adopted from the previous study which is tuned for the regular position and real tests. Numerical experimentation have been carried out with a couple of dummies in the out-of-position and the injury processes are analyzed.

The adsorption properties of CO on the cation exchanged natural zeolite, $K_{111}$ and cation effects upon the CO adsorption were studied. $Na^+-,\;Cu^{2+}-\;and\;Ba^{2+}-\;K_{111}$ exhibited relatively good CO adsorption capacities and $Ba^{2+}- K_{111}$ treated by 0.4 N-$BaCl_2$ solution proved itself as the best adsorbent and superior to the synthetic zeolite 4A and 5A. The observed adsorption tendency due to the cations were in the order of $Ba^{2+}>Cu^{2+}>Na^+>K^+>Mg^{2+}>Ca^{2+}$. The cation exchanged number per unit cell as well as the kind of cation which forms bond with CO molecules in different intensities and other mineral factors such as pore size indicated to be important factors to the CO adsorption properties. The CNDO/2 calculations were performed to compare the adsorption tendencies and CO interaction energy of cations in $K_{111}$.

Axisymmetric modeling of the nuclear containment building has been often employed in practice to estimate structural behavior for the axisymmetric loadings, where the axisymmetric approximation is required for the actual non-axisymmetric tendon arrangements in the dome. In the preceding companion paper, some procedures are proposed for the domestic CANDU and KSNP type containments that can implement the actual 3-dimensional tendon stiffness and prestressing effect into the axisymmetric model. In this paper, the proposed schemes are verified through some numerical examples comparing the results of the actual 3-dimensional model with those of some axisymmetric models. The results of the proposed axisymmetric analyses show relatively good agreements with the actual structural behavior especially for the CANDU type. Also, it is shown that proper level of the prestressing in a hoop direction plays an important role to predict the actual prestressing effect in the axisymmetric dome modeling. Finally, correction factors are discussed that can revise some approximations introduced in the derivations.

Prestressing tendons in a nuclear containment building dome are non-axisymmetrically arranged in most cases. However, simple axisymmetric modeling of the containment has been often employed in practice to estimate structural behavior for the axisymmetric loadings such as an internal pressure. In this case, the axisymmetric approximation is required for the actual tendon arrangements in the dome. Some procedures are proposed that can implement the actual 3-dimensional tendon stiffness and prestressing effect into the axisymmetric model. Prestressing tendons, which are arranged in 3 or 2-ways depending on a containment type, are converted into an equivalent layer to consider the stiffness contribution in meridional and hoop directions. In order to reflect the prestressing effect, equivalent load method and initial stress method are devised and the corresponding loads or stresses are derived in terms of the axisymmetric model. In a companion paper, the proposed schemes are applied into CANDU and KSNP(Korean Standard Nuclear Power Plant) type containments and are verified through some numerical examples comparing the analysis results with those of the actual 3-dimensional model.

The ring-opening isomerization polymerization behavior of 2,5,6,7-tetrahydro-3H-imidazo[2,1-b] [1,3] oxazine(TII) has been studied under various conditions. The present study aimed at improving the low polymerizability of the above monomer (six-membered ring) up to a level comparable to that of 2,5,6-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-b] [l,3] oxazole(TIO) (five-membered ring). The optimum result could be observed when methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate(MeOTf) and nitrobenzene were used as an initiator and a solvent in the polymerization at $60^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. Polymers were confirmed by$^1H$ NMR과$^{13}C$ NMR, and m measurements. The molecular weight obtained by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) corresponded to the molecular weight theoretically calculated from the feed ratio. The melting temperature ($T_m$) of TII was conspicuously different from that of TIO, because of the difference in the alkyl group.

The effect of a circular hole reinforced by a ring of different material in a plate under biaxial loadings is considered. In this problem, an infinitely large flat is assumed. The reinforcing ring is of uniform rectangular cross-section of same thickness as the plate. The outer boundary of the ring is cemented to the inner boundary of the hole in the plate. The plate is subjected to hydrostatic tension and pure shear loadings. The stress distribution around the hole is obtained by means of the two dimensional theory of elasticity. To conform the validities of above solutions, a series of photo-elastic stress analysis for a composite model was carried out. Fair agreements were observed between two sets of values. The conclusions arrived at are as follows: 1) The theoretical solutions are exact ones for the case of infinitely large flat plate. 2) The solutions can be used for most case of engineering problem if the bonding between the plate and ring is perfect. 3) If the ratio of Young's moduli of the ring and the plate is increased, the stresses in the plate decrease whereas those in the ring increase. 4) The stress concentration near the hole has localized effect. 5) Under hydrostatic tension, maximum principal stress and maximum shear stress increase as the ratio of inner and outer diameters of the ring increases. 6) Under pure shear, the stresses depend upon angular orientations of the points and maximum principal stress and maximum shear stress appear at 45 degree. They increase as the ratio of inner and outer diameters of the ring increases.
