A demonstration facility for an advanced spent fuel conditioning process (ACP) is under construction at KAERI. In this hotcell facility, the rear door is frequently used since all process equipment and materials are taken in and out only through the rear door. Therefore , both the structural safety and stability of the door are essentially required for the safety of ACP facility. In this paper, the finite element analysis has been performed to investigate the structural safety under the impact condition between the rear door and the door frame. Also the possibility of the rear door being tumbled over by the impact force or the inertia force under a sudden stop conditon has been evaluated. The analysis results demonstrate that the structural safety and stability of the rear door are sufficiently assured for both the impact and the accidential stop conditions.

The purpose of this study is to examine the improvement of the slipperiness of building floors and to test the safety in accidental collision in the primary schools. To perform this purpose effectively, the actual 20,202 cases of accident on the year 2000-2009 which had been dealt by Seoul School Safety and Insurance Association were analysed in several aspects. And to test the current slipperiness and hardness of building floors, 3 primary schools whose construction year differed were examined. This study found that among the indoor accidents of 2,646 cases on the year 2000-2002, 70.7% accidents of them were caused by slipperiness. It was also found that the building floors of the primary schools could not be safe from the result of examining the slipperiness and hardness of the building floors. As the result of this study, it showed that the desirable efficient criterion of slipperiness would be more than C.S.R 0.4, and that of safety in accidental collision would be less than Gs 100G for the safety of primary school students.

2,097 deaths out of 5,229 by traffic accident occurred by vehicle to vehicle crash and 855 deaths out of 2,097 occurred at side crash in 2011. Korean government adopted New Car Assessment Program to reduce the wounded and deaths at traffic accident in 1999 and side impact test has been added in 2003. 43 out of 53 vehicles tested in NCAP side impact rated 4 and 5 stars means the highest occupant protection. In this study three small class vehicles have been tested according to Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's side crashworthiness test protocol. IIHS test protocol uses 1,500kg moving barrier rather than NCAP's 950kg and the occupant protection rated Good, Acceptable, Marginal and Poor based on injury measure, structural integrity and head protection.

Over the past ten years, since the introduction of the side crash test regulation in Europe, much research work has been performed internationally to develop new and modified test procedures to improve the level of occupant protection offered by vehicles in side crash test. This research has been co-ordinated and finally contributed to development of an AE-MDB(Advanced European Moving Deformable Barrier) and WorldSID (Worldwide Side Impact Dummy). EuroNCAP(European New Car Assessment Program) has the plan to conduct AE-MDB side crash test using WorldSID from 2015 by replacing Progressive MDB and EuroSID II. Automobile manufacturers need to respond to these changes closely. This paper is to find dominant control factor and analyze it of WorldSID 50%ile dummy injury through AE-MDB side crash test by predicting best and worst condition. And control factors will be validated within EuroNCAP regulations. This paper is analyzed by DFSS(Design for six sigma) which contains 5 control factors and is evaluated by ANOVA with the data as a result of LS-DYNA analysis correlated with crash pulse from 50 kph AE-MDB side crash test using WorldSID 50%ile dummy.

지구온난화의 심화로 사회적으로 환경의 중요성에 대한 인식이 확산되면서 $CO_2$ 배기가스 및 연비와 직결되어 있는 자동차 중량 절감의 중요성이 강조됨에 따라 차체 경량화 기술은 환경 친화적인 자동차 개발의 핵심기술로 연구되고 있다. 그러나 충돌보호 장치 및 편의장치의 증가로 차체 중량은 지속적으로 증가하고 있어 차체 중량을 혁신적으로 절감할 수 있는 초경량 차체기술이 요구된다. 차체 경량화 방법으로 기존 강재를 알루미늄재로 대체하는 방안이 연구되고 있으며, 일부 해외 고급 차종에서 알루미늄재를 이용한 스페이스 프레임 및 부품 개발을 검토 적용 중이다. 그러나 알루미늄 단일재 사용은 안전성등에서 요구 성능을 만족시키기 어렵기 때문에 강재와 알루미늄재의 적절한 사용이 필요하다. 이를 위하여 강재와 알루미늄간 이종접합부가 발생하며 이를 위한 적정 공정 개발이 필요하다. 전자기 펄스 용접(MPW)은 고상접합의 한 종류로서 고전류를 순간적으로 방전하여 발생된 고에너지를 통하여 접합이 이루어진다. 이러한 고에너지는 외부재의 전 자기적 성질에 의하여 에너지량이 결정되므로 외부재의 전도도(conductivity)는 매우 중요하며 이러한 이유로 Aluminum 1xxx계 중심의 전자기 펄스 용접 공정이 연구되었다. 그러나 자동차 스페이스 프레임 및 드라이브 샤프트등과 같은 부품에 알루미늄재를 적용하기 위해서는 일정 강도를 확보할 수 있는 6xxx계의 관련 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고품질의 접합부 확보를 위한 1xxx계와 6xxx의 최적의 공정변수(충전전압, 외부재와 내부재 사이의 간격, 외부재 두께)를 도출하였다. 이를 위하여 전자기 펄스 용접 장치는 한국생산기술연구원과 웰메이트(주)에서 공동으로 개발한 $120{\mu}F$의 캐패시터 6개로 구성된 'W-MPW36'을 사용하였으며 접합 후 누수시험을 통하여 접합부의 품질을 검토하였다.
