원자력 발전소에서의 중대사고시, 고온의 노심 용융물이 원자로 공동으로 떨어지면 노심용융물과 콘크리트간의 반응(MCCI)에 의한 여러가지 현상으로 인해 격납용기의 건전성을 위협할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 노심 용융물의 모사체로 고온의 Thermite 20kg을 영광 원자력 발전소 3, 4호기에 사용된 콘크리트 시편에 부어 중대사고시 MCCI 현상을 모사하였다. 실험에서는 국내 콘크리트에서의 침식율, 가스 및 입자 발생률을 측정하였다. 실험에서 측정된 용융물의 최고 온도는 약 2230 $^{\circ}C$이고, 콘크리트 시편으로의 최대 하부 열유속은 초기에 약 1.1~1.3 MW/$m^2$로 나타났으며, 전체적인 콘크리트의 침식 깊이는 약 15mm 그리고 초기의 최대 침식율은 129 cm/hr로 나타났다. 향후에 이 실험 결과를 MELCOR 코드의 MCCI 해석 모듈인 CORCON-MOD3의 해석 결과와 비교할 예정이다.

To establish nondestructive test method for aerospace composite materials, various composite specimens were tested and analyzed using acoutic emission. The hit rate of acoustic emission closely was rotated with crack initiation and propagation. This report also presents defection capability of crack initiation pressure, initial crack active location, and crack propagation using acoustic emission.

In this paper, finite element analysis is applied for simulation of cracks due to restraining autogenous and drying shrinkage at early-age concrete. A micro-level heat hydration model and a shrinkage prediction model along with a moisture diffusion model are adopted for the finite element analysis. Then, an axial restraint test is carried out for concrete specimens containing different amounts of chloride ions to evaluate stress development and cracking due to the restraining shrinkages at early ages. Test results show that the increase of contents of chloride ions increases restrained stress, but does not increase strength. By this increase of shrinkage strain at early-age, time to occur the crack is accelerated. Finally, stress development and cracking of concrete specimens containing different amount of chloride ions we simulated using the finite element analysis. Results of the analysis using the Proposed model are verified by comparison with test results.

An experimental research investigation of the fracture properties of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete is reported. Fibers used in this experiment were two types, monofilament and fibrillated polypropylene fibers. Fiber length was 19 mm, and volume fractions were 0, 1, 2, and 3%. Also, as initial notch depths influence the fracture properties of fiber reinforced concrete, the notch depth ratios by specimen height were 0.15, 0.30 and 0.45. The main objective of this experimental program is to obtain the load-deflection and the load-CMOD curves, to investigate the fracture properties of the polypropylene fiber reinforced concretes. Therefore, the flexural specimen testings on the four-point bending were conducted. Then, the load-load point displacement and the load-crack mouth opening displacement curves were measured. The effects of different volume fractions of the monofilament and the fibrillated polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete on the compressive strength, flexural strength and toughness, stress intensity factor, and fracture energy were investigated through the experimental results.

This study investigated the effect of relative density on the thickness of shear zone. Digital image processing was used to measure the thickness of shear zone under plane strain conditions. A suitable epoxy resin was injected into the sample and the thickness of the shear zone was investigated. Four independent condition samples were prepared and the thickness of the shear zone was measured. The results indicated that the thickness of shear zone increases as the initial density of sample increases, and during the shear, the void ratios of the shear zone were changed, but the thickness of shear zone was not changed. In addition, the result of measurement of the thickness showed that the thickness of shear zone was almost fixed before critical state, but beyond critical state, the thickness of shear zone sharply increases as relative density increases.

The effect of exposure times on the aging characteristics of carbon fiber/epoxy composite ring specimen was evaluated using an accelerating aging tester. Combined exposure conditions, such as temperature, moisture, and ultraviolet, were applied up to 3000 hours. Tensile properties and flexural properties including the effect of curvature were evaluated on the specimens subject to various exposure times through a material testing system. Their aging surfaces were observed through a scanning electron microscope. According to the results, tensile modulus was little affected by the exposure times. However, tensile strength, at the early stage of the exposure times, increased due to physical aging and curing reaction, but tensile strength slightly decreased due to degradation as the exposure times increased. The flexural modulus and flexural strength increased at the early stage of the exposure times, but slightly decreased as the exposure times increased. Aging surfaces of the specimens examined using the scanning electron microscope revealed a different morphology in various exposure times and provided useful information for identifying the degradation in mechanical properties of the composite subject to various exposure times.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate failure characteristics of Carbon/BMI-Nomex honeycomb sandwich on design parameters. A total of 6 types sandwich specimens were manufactured according to core height, face thickness and density, and environmental condition were applied to evaluate temperature and humidity effects of one of these specimens. The test results show that the core shear buckling loads was commonly observed in all specimens except for the joint with density of $64kg/m^3$. After core shear buckling, however, the joint carried additional loads over the buckling loads and then finally failed in the upper face and lower face at the same time. In the case of specimen having high stiffness, the maximum failure load was low due to interfacial failure of the upper face and core without initial core shear buckling. The ETW1 and ETW2 conditions, which were carried out to evaluate the environmental condition of the sandwich specimen, show an initial failure mode which was significantly different from RTD condition. Also, the ETW2 condition with increased temperature under the same humidity shows that the core shear buckling load was 18% less than ETW1 condition.

Bearing strength test was investigated to determine the bearing properties of domestic larix glulam according to the load direction (in parallel to grain and in perpendicular to grain), the fastener (bolt and drift-pin), and the direction of laminae. The specimen was 5 ply glulam. The diameters of fastener are 12, 16 and 20 mm. The results were as follows. 1) In according to the diameter of bolt and drift-pin, the average of maximum bearing strength in parallel to grain loading was similar to that in perpendicular to grain loading. The average of maximum bearing strength was 1.50~2.31 times higher in parallel to grain loading than in perpendicular to grain loading. The average of maximum bearing strength in parallel to grain loading was lowered by 20% with increasing the diameter from 16 mm to 20 mm, but that in perpendicular to grain loading didn't show a clear tendency. 2) The average of bearing stiffness in parallel to grain loading was the highest at 16 mm in diameter. The average of bearing stiffness is similar to the shearing stiffness in drift-pin connection with increasing diameter. 3) In parallel to grain loading, the failure mode of specimens was the splitting along the grain in decreasing diameter. The failure mode in perpendicular to grain loading was the splitting along the grain. In this case, split occured more in specimens using bolt than in those using drift-pin. 4) The 5% offset yield strength in parallel to grain loading was similar to the predicted bearing strength of KBCS, NDS. In perpendicular to grain loading, the NDS's equation can be applied to predict the bearing strength.

TiO$_2$의 첨가가 Mn-Zn ferrites의 전자기적 물성에 미치는 효과에 대해 연구하였다. TiO$_2$의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 밀도와 전기비저항이 증가된 반면 초기투자율은 감소하였다. TiO$_2$의 첨가에 따라 Fe$^{2+}$ ion의 증가에 기인하여 전력손실의 최소 값을 나타내는 온도가 저온으로 이동하였다. TiO$_2$를 0.12wt% 첨가한 시편의 경우, 100 kHz, 200 mT, 8$0^{\circ}C$ 측정 조건에서는 소결온도가 증가함에 따라 전력손실이 감소하였으며 125$0^{\circ}C$ 소결한 시편이 340 mW/㎤으로 가장 낮은 값을 보였다. 500 kHz, 50 mT, 8$0^{\circ}C$의 측정 조건에서는 소결 온도가 감소함에 따라 전력손실이 감소하였으며 115$0^{\circ}C$ 소결한 시편이 105 mW/㎤으로 가장 낮은 전력손실 값이 관찰되었다.

2.3%C-26%Cr-1%Ni-0.5%Mo 조성의 아공정 백주철을 여러형태로 열처리를 한 후 잔류오스테나이트함량(Vr), 거시 및 미소경도 그리고 내마찰마모성사이의 상호관계를 연구하였다. 주방상태에서의 Vr가 70.2%인 반면 열처리시편들의 경우 0.3-65.4%의 분포를 나타내었다. 초기마모구간 이외에는 마찰마모량과 마모시간과의 사이에 직선적 관계가 얻어졌으며 그 직선의 기울기(Rw)를 내마모성의 비교시 지표로 사용하였다. Rw는 주방상태에서 $2.77{\times}10^{-2}\;mg/s$로 가장 낮았으며 l173k에서 18ks동안 균질화 열처리만 한 시편의 경우 $4.12{\times}10^{-2}\;mg/s$로 내마모성이 가장 열악하였다. 주방상태에서 내마모성이 가장 좋은 이유는 마찰마모시 오스테나이트가 가공경화를 일으켜 마르텐사이트로 변태되었기 때문으로 여겨진다. 미소경도는 HV 358-HV 756, 거시경도는 이 보다 높은 HV 529-HV 785의 분포를 나타내었는데 이는 거시경도의 측정시 공정탄화물인 $M_7C_3$가 포함되었기 때문이다. 가장 높은 미소 및 거시경도는 1323k에서 7.2ks동안 오스테나이화열처리한 시편에서 얻어졌으며 주방상태의 시편이 가장 낮은 경도치를 나타내었다.
