The structure of winch brake disk was successfully designed and developed based on sizing optimization. In this research, static analysis was performed by commercial software ANSYS v12.0. To simulate the working process of disk brake, the real properties of materials and working conditions were considered. Based on the results of the static structural analysis, the existing designs of the brake discs were optimized. Among existing designs, there are three cases that have achieved an efficient light weight around 200g. As a result, the optimized weight of each case was 3.41kg, 3.42kg, and 3.44kg, respectively. Finally, through prototyping and performance testing, the stability of the optimized brake disc was verified. Although, this free-fall winch brake disk had been developed in design and evaluation techniques, more detailed plans for developing the disk brake structure were also proposed as a further study based on this research.

A new piston-type Free-fall corer (FFC) was developed for the sampling of core sediments in aquatic environments. The corer, named "KORDI-FFC", is the modified sampler of the existing FFX with an open barrel gravity corer. It was rested successfully on the muddy bottom in the Chinhae Bay and on the sandy bottom (Mz=3$\phi$) in nearshore areas around the Cheju Island. Several merits found in the unstrument are; $\circled1$ operation on a small vessel without winch and cable, $\circled2$ low cost of construction, $\circled3$ little disturbance of surface sediments during the sampling, $\circled4$ short round-trip time of sampling, and $\circled5$ simultaneous performance of other research works during the lowering of FFC.
