Experimental study on combustion characteristics of double swirl coaxial injectors has been conducted for the assessment of critical injector design parameters. A reusable, unielement thrust chamber has been fabricated with a water-cooled copper nozzle. Two principal design parameters. a swirl angle and a recess length, have been investigated through hot firing tests for the understanding of their effects on high pressure combustion. Clearly, both parameters considerably affect the combustion efficiency, dynamics and hydraulic characteristics of an injector. Internal mixing of propellants in a recess region increases combustion efficiency along with the increase of a pressure drop required for flowing the same amount of mass flow rates. It is concluded that pressure buildup due to flame can be released by the increase of LOx flow axial momentum or the reduction of a recess length. Dynamic pressure measurements of the thrust chamber show varied dynamic behaviors depending on injector configurations.

In this paper, impulse-momentum theory was coupled to a constitutive equation both for implementing quasi-static and impact characteristics of EPP (Expanded polypropylene). Also, parameters which have physical meanings were expressed as functions of relative density. Simultaneous nonlinear Newton-Raphson method was applied to find the proper values for parameters in the constitutive equation along with quasi-static test data. Results from the impulse-momentum theory coupled constitutive equation showed good agreement with experimental data and the potential to be applied to different material type polymeric foam.

Stainless steel sheets are widely used as the structural material for railroad cars and commercial vehicles. Structures made of stainless steel sheets are commonly fabricated by gas welding, For the fatigue design of gas welded joints such as fillet joints, it is necessary to obtain design information of the stress distribution at the weldment as well as the fatigue strength of the gas-welded joints. Further, the influence of the geometrical parameters of gas-welded joints on stress distribution and fatigue strength must be evaluated. in this study, ${\Delta}P-N_f$ curves were obtained by fatigue tests. and, the ${\Delta}P-N_f$ curves were rearranged on the basis of the ${\Delta}{\sigma}-N_f$ relation for the hot-spot stresses at the gas-welded joints. These results, were used for conducting an accelerated life test(ALT) From the experiment results, an acceleration model was derived and factors were estimated. The objective is to obtain the information required for the analysis of the fatigue lifetime of fillet welded joints and for data analysis by the statistic reliability method to save time and cost and to develop optimum accelerated life prediction plans.

원전은 고온기능시험 이후 2차계통 내부를 상대습도 40%이하로 관리하여 계통 재질 부식을 최소화하고 있다. 일반적으로 발전소에서는 운전 정지 후 상대습도 40%이하로 낮추는데 15일정도 소요되지만, 발전소 계통 중 일부 곡관부위는 약 60일정도 소요된다. 본 연구는 일부 계통 재료가 상대습도 제한치(<40%) 이상의 환경에서 장기간(최대 60일) 노출시 재료 건전성에 미치는 영향 평가이다. 평가를 위해 시편의 실험 전, 후 무게변화를 이용한 부식률 측정과 표면분석을 위해 광학현미경을 이용하였다. 사용 시편의 재료는 SA516 Gr.70이며 표면상태를 인위적으로 산화피막을 생성 시킨 것(2개)과 산화피막이 없는 것(6개)으로 2종류로 제작하였다. 총 시험기간은 60일이고 시험기간 중 산화피막이 없는 시편은 7일, 21일, 60일에 시편을 2개씩 꺼내어 무게를 측정하여 부식률을 계산하였다. 실험결과, 산화피막이 없는 시편은 노출되는 시간에 따라 부식률이 각각 0.35(7일), 0.21(21일), 0.67(60일) mpy이었고 산화피막이 있는 시편은 0.06(60일) mpy였다. 산화표면 분석결과, 산화피막이 없는 시편은 노출되는 시간에 관계없이 물방울이 맺힌 부분에 pitting을 확인하였다. 하지만, 산화피막이 있는 시편은 pitting의 흔적은 없었다. 산화피막이 없는 시편의 경우 시간에 따라 부식률은 높아지지만 학계에서 통용되는 뛰어난 내부식성 재료의 부식률 기준인 < 1 mpy이하기 때문에 재료 건전성에 미치는 영향은 거의 없을 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 대부분 원전의 경우 고온기능시험 또는 운전기간 동안에 2차계통 구성 재료 표면에 산화막이 생성되었기 때문에 산화피막이 있는 시편의 결과로 판단하면 상대습도 40%이상에 60일 이상 노출되어도 부식은 거의 일어나지 않았을 것으로 사료된다. 실증실험결과를 가지고 종합적으로 평가하면 상대습도 40%이상 환경에서 곡관부위가 60일이상 노출되어도 재료 건전성에 미치는 영향은 거의 없을 것으로 판단된다.

An experimental study on the welding part of a heat transfer plate that constitutes the lightweight and high efficiency recuperator is presented in this paper. In particular, to find out the service life of the welded part, fatigue characteristics were determined through experiments. Experiments were carried out on two materials (STS347, AL20-25 + nb), which are selected as the material of the recuperator; further, the specimens were manufactured through the methods used for actual fabrication and the standards recommended by ASTM. To evaluate the mechanical properties of the specimens at room and high temperature, MTS-810 was used in a high-temperature furnace. The tensile test was carried out at room and high temperatures for each specimen. The fatigue test was carried out by setting the load ratio corresponding to 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, and 10% of the tensile strength at the stress ratio of 0.1. Finally, the fatigue life characteristics obtained by the experiment were compared with the stresses owing to the load generated in the operating conditions of the recuperator, and the lifetime of the welds was evaluated to prepare for the operation time required by the UAV.

Rubber hose assembly for automotive hydraulic brake during operation is subject to combined stresses of cyclic pressure, cyclic bending and torsion as well as thermal load. The rubber hose is composed of ethylene-propylene diene monomer(EPDM) rubber layers reinforced by polyvinyl acetate(PVA) braided fabrics. A durability tester with loading rigs for inducing the above cyclic stresses was used to investigate failure mechanisms in the rubber hose assembly. Failure examination was performed at every 100 thousands cycles of bending and torsion. Hose samples were sectioned with a diamond-wheel cutter and then polished. The polished surface was observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Some interfacial delamination with a length of about 1mm along the interface between EPDM rubber and PVA fabrics was shown at the test cycles of 400,000. The delamination induced some cracking into the outer rubber skin layer to leading the final rupture of the hose.

Twenty eight gas impermeable plastic films for food-contact application were collected in the domestic market and material and/or migration tests for overall migration, antioxidants, potassium permanganate consumption, heavy metal, and plasticizers were carried out. The average overall migration values for NY/PE or NY/LLDPE, PETP/PE, and PVDC packaging films obtained by using n-heptane as fatty food simulant were 7.6, 6.9 and 14.1 mg/L, respectively. These values were much lower than the limit values of 150 and 30 mg/L for polyethylene and polyvinylidene chloride prescribed in the Korea Food Code. In almost of the packaging materials tested, the antioxidants such as Irganox 1010, Irganox 1076 and Irgafos 168 were found. The migration test result showed that almost of all samples except PVDC film contained Irganox 1076 and Irgafos 168, while the maximum migration value of Irganox 1076 into n-heptane was found in the Ny/PE/LLDPE(15/25/50 ${\mu}m$) sample at the concentration of 216.9 ${\mu}g/g$. From the plastic packaging samples tested, plasticizers such as DEP, DPRP, DBP, DPP, BBP, DCHP, DEHP, DEHA and observed above the detection limit. Consumption amount of potassium permanganate was much lower than the limit value of 10 mg/L. In the material test for heavy metals, cadmium and lead were determined at the concentrations far below the limit value of 100 mg/kg. The migration test for cadmium and lead showed a lower value than the detection limit. Therefore, it can be concluded that the safety status of the plastic films tested met the requirement of limit values as prescribed for the material and migration tests of food packaging utensils, containers and packages of the Korea Food Code.

무선방식으로 원격에서의 인식으로 정보교환을 가능하게 하는 RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) 시스템은 태그 내의 배터리 유무에 따라 수동형과 능동형으로 구분된다. 수동형 태그는 판독기로부터 받은 RF 신호를 에너지로 이용하기 때문에 인식거리가 짧으며, 가격이 싸고 반영구적으로 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 반면에, 능동형 태그는 금속재질에 취약한 수동형의 단점을 극복하는 동시에 인식거리가 길고, 인식률이 좋은 장점이 있다. 따라서 항만물류나 국방 분야에서 능동형 RFID 시스템에 대한 개발이 점차 확대되고 있다. 하지만 동일한 표준으로 개발된 제품의 서로 간에 인식이 불가능한 사례가 보고되고 있으며, 국제적으로 정확한 평가방법 및 장치가 정립되지 않아 개발된 제품들 간의 상호 운용성 및 표준 적합성 평가에 대한 어려움이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 능동형 RFID 시스템의 적합성 평가를 위한 에뮬레이터의 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어를 설계하고 제작하였다. 설계된 장치는 Matlab의 Simulink를 통한 시뮬레이션으로 성능을 분석하였고, 실제 능동형 RFID 태그의 표준적합성 평가를 통해 에뮬레이터의 적용 가능성을 검증하였다.
