Oscillating wave amplitude in a bottom-mounted OWC chamber designed for wave energy converter is investigated by applying characteristic wave conditions in Korean coastal water. The effects of shape parameters of OWC chamber in a view of wave energy absorbing capability are analyzed. Both experimental and numerical approaches are adopted and their results are compared to optimize the shape parameters which can result in a maximum power production under given wave distribution. The experiment was carried out in a wave flume under 2-D assumption of OWC chamber. The numerical scheme employed a hybrid Green integral equation which adopts the Rankine Green function inside chamber to take account of fluctuating air pressure, while it uses the Kelvin Green function in outer domain. Air duct diameter, chamber width, and submerged depths of front skirt and back wall of chamber changes the magnitude and peak frequency of wave absorption significantly.

In this study, the strain energy density, stress and deformation behaviors have been analyzed as functions of a thickness and a force area of protective helmets with and without an extruder on the top of the shell structure using the finite element method. The strain energy density in which is related to the absorption capacity of an impact energy transfer is one of a key element of the helmet safety. The FEM analyzed results show that when the impulsive force of 4,540N is applied on the top surface of the helmets, the maximum stress is linearly reduced for an increased area of impact forces. But, the maximum strain energy density has been reduced for the increased force area. The reduced strain energy density may increase the impulsive forces transferred to the head and neck of helmet wearers, which may decrease the impact energy absorption safety of the helmets. In thus, it is safer design of the helmet in which has an extruded structure on the summit surface, but the modified helmet may decrease the impact energy absorption capacity.

Ni-Mn-Zn ferrite, Ni_0.5-xMn_xZn_0.5Fe₂O₄ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5), was synthesized using the sol-gel method to investigate the crystal structure, microstructure, magnetic properties, high-frequency characteristics, and electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption characteristics as a function of Mn substitution. As the Mn content increased, a continuous decrease in saturation magnetization (M_S) was observed with little change in coercivity (H_C). Samples for each composition (x) exhibited strong EM wave absorption performance with first and second strong EM wave absorption regions satisfying minimum reflection loss, RL_min < -40 dB in the 1.5~2.5, 6~11 GHz range, respectively. The EM wave absorption in Ni-Mn-Zn ferrite depends on magnetic loss, and adjusting µ' and µ'' spectra by Mn substitution or H field allows control of the EM wave absorption frequency.

본 연구에서 다루는 복합재료는 알루미늄 폼으로써 다공성 구조체로 고체 알루미늄 금속에 비하여 비중이 1/10 정도로 작고, 충격에너지 흡수가 우수하다. 본 연구에서는 다공성 심재를 갖는 복합재료 알루미늄 폼 코어의 충격실험을 실시하여 기계적 특성을 파악하였다. 시험편은 알루미늄 폼 코어를 갖는 복합재료로써 시험편에 50J의 저 충격에너지를 가하도록 하였다. 그 결과, 모든 실험에서 스트라이커가 상부면재 통과 시 최대하중이 나타났고, 이때의 최대하중 값은 약 5.5 KN으로 나타났다. 또한 최대 하중 발생 시간은 50J일 때 약 4.2 ms가 나왔다. 최대 하중이 발생한 후, 즉 상부 면재 통과 후에 실험에서는 약 10 mm정도를 더 뚫으면서 심재에 까지 손상을 주었지만 하부 면재에는 손상을 주지 못하였다. 이로써 스트라이커가 알루미늄 폼 코어 샌드위치 복합재료를 통과 할 때 상부면재 통과 시 최대 하중이 발생하고 심재를 지나며 서서히 감소되는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

Various technical methods are applied for removing water from the water-retaining media, and the energy efficiency is the main concern in those methods. The electroosmotic process is studied as an efficient way for dewatering. An experimental electroosmotic reactor is designed and used for evaluating the effects of operational variables. The operational variables such as the electrical fields and the structure of water-retaining medias were studied. Three different shapes of polarized electric fields in ranges of 0-100 V/cm and 0-10 kHz are used as the source of electric voltage. The effect of electroosmotic process with respect to the structural variation is estimated by filling the electroosmotic reactor with the glass beads in 0.18 mm, 0.35 mm and 1.2 mm in diameters. 6% of water removal is obtained in the simulating electroosmotic reactor of glass beads. The estimated energy consumption in the simulating electroosmotic was 330~490 cal/g-water.

원자로 압력용기 재료로 사용되고 있는 ASTM SA508 및 SA533 계열의 재료는 결정구조가 체심입방격자(bcc)로서 시험온도별 최대흡수에너지(USE)에 대한 선도를 그리면 고온에서는 연성이 크고, 저온에서는 취성이 큰 전형적인 “S”자 형태의 Cv-천이온도곡선으로 나타난다. 그리고 조사전과 조사후의 연성-취성천이온도곡선을 흡수에너지값이 30ft-lb 또는 50ft-lb인 지점에석 비교해보면 재료의 조사취화(radiation embrittlement)현상으로 온도가 높은 쪽으로 이동됨을 알 수 있으며, 이러한 온도의 이동값은 원자로의 운전수명과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 따라서 조사전후의 흡수에 너지값에 따른 온도변화량를 정확하게 산출하기 위해서는 시편의 온도를 조절하는 장치 및 시편을 아주 짧은 시간내에 충격시험기의 앤빌까지 장전하는 장치 둥의 충격시험시스템 구축은 매우 중요하다. 이에 조사계시험시설(IMEF)에서는 원자로 압력용기 감시시험에 대한 충격시험시스템을 구축하였고, 이의 내용은 감시시험 수행에 기준이 되는 ASTM El85-82 및 과학기술처 고시 제 92-20호의 세부내용을 충분하게 만족시키는 것으로 확인되었으며, 이렇게 확인된 내용들은 현재 국내에서 수행되고 있는 감시시험에 적극적으로 활용되고 있다.

The front-end side members of automobiles absorb most of the energy in a case of front-end collision. The front-end side members are required to have a high stiffness together with easiness to collapse sequentially to absorb more impact energy. The axial static collapse test (5mm/min) was conducted by using UTM for form different types of members which have different cross section shapes; single hat, single cap, double cap, and double hat. The single hat shaped section member has the typical standard section, which the double hat shape section has a symmetry in the center to have more stiffness. As a result of the test, the energy absorbing characteristic was analyzed for different section shapes. It turned out that the change of section shape influence the absorbing energy, the mean collapse load and the maximum collapse load, and the relation between the change of section shape and the collapse mode.

In this work, energy absorption characteristics and optimal welding space of spot-welded square hat type tube are investigated via quasi-static crush experiments and finite element (FE) analyses. A FE model reflecting the crush characteristics is established based on the experimentally observed crush mechanisms of specimens with welding spaces (20, 30 & 45 mm) and (25,40 & 55 mm) respectively for two specimen widths (60, 75 mm). The established FE model is then applied to other crush models of widths (50, 60 & 75 mm) with various welding spaces (20, 25, 30, 40, 45, 55, 75, 150, 300 mm) respectively. We examine the energy absorption characteristics with respect to the welding space for each specimen width. The outcome suggests an optimal spot welding space of square hat type thin-walled tube. Energy absorption is also presented in terms of yield strength of base metal, specimen thickness, width, and mean crushing force of spot-welded square hat type thin-walled tube.

Impact tests are performed on the high strength structural steel that is being developed for the submarine material. Especially, the impact characteristics of this structural steels at low temperatures are investigated by charpy impact testing. Hyperbolic tangent curve fitting method is used to evaluate the LSE(lower shelf energy), USE(upper shelf energy) and DBTT(ductile-brittle transition temperature). Proportional equations between charpy impact energy and lateral expansion are obtained using the test results. Effect of temperature on the fracture appearance is investigated by using SEM.
