In order to estimate blast damage zone and control rock fragmentation in blasting, it is important to obtain information regarding blast hole pressure. In this study, drop impact tests of acrylic, aluminium, steel sensors were performed to investigate the dynamic response characterizations of the sensors through the strain signals. As a result, the strain signals obtained from the steel sensors showed less sensitivity to impact force level and experienced small changes with various length of the sensors. The steel sensors were applied to measure the impact force of an electric detonator.

Harmful factors such as shock waves and fragments are generated at domestic ammunition testing sites and military shell shooting training sites due to frequent shooting and explosion tests. As a result, complaints from local residents are rapidly increasing, and there is a high risk of damage to facilities and human life. The recently constructed ammunition test site built a test facility for firing artillery and rocket propulsion in a narrow area with a radius of 300 m due to site restrictions, but damage to the facility is accumulating because there is no adequate protective structure. Therefore, in this study, quantitative data on harmful factors such as noise, vibration, shock wave, and thermal effect generated between artillery firing and rocket propulsion tests were measured, and explosion pressure characteristics were analyzed to design a protective structure, and use Autodyn to protect performance. to perform verification.

In order to see the detailed characteristics of model scramjet engine, numerical analysis was performed and compared to the ground test results done by KARI and UQ. Pressure distribution predicted by numerical analysis showed good agreements with test results. Static temperature and pressure distribution explained the mechanisms of cavity flame holder and W-shape cowl which have showed enhancing effects on the supersonic combustion.

Ejector system are used to transport a low momentum flow to the higher pressure flow by the momentum change between high and low momentum flows. This system is used to simulate the high altitude and Mach number condition over altitude 20 km and Mach 4 of the supersonic test facility. We applied the design and the performance analysis technique(EISIMP code) of the Ramjet Test Facility(RJTF) air system in JAXA to the ejector system of the ramjet test facility in KARI. After preliminary design of the ejector system, we performed a computational study using FLUENT and investigated shock structures and flow characteristics of the ejector system.

The main reasons that ignite the propellant in the process of producing solid rocket motor are worker mistakes, wrong working process, mechanical defects, impact, friction, electrostatic and short circuits. In the past decades, many accidents have occurred in the process of producing solid rocket motor, accidents investigation have confirmed that the sensitivity of electrostatic is very high under specific condition. In this paper, we analyzed overseas accident cases and measured the sensitivity of electrostatic in the situation of confinement and pressure load by considering the manufacturing process. As a result of the test, the sensitivity of propellant was increased in the situation of confinement and pressure load and the propellant reacted more sensitively to electrostatic in the situation of confinement than pressure load.

Sealed sources have to conducted the tests be done according to the classification requirements for their typical usages in accordance with the relevant domestic notice standard and ISO 2919. After each test, the source shall be examined visually for loss of integrity and pass an appropriate leakage test. Tests to class a sealed source are temperature, external pressure, impact, vibration and puncture test. The environmental test conditions for tests with class numbers are arranged in increasing order of severity. In this study, the apparatus of tests, except the vibration test, were developed and applied to three kinds of sealed source. The conditions of the tests to class a sealed source were stated and the difference between the domestic notice standard and ISO 2919 were considered. And apparatus of the tests were made. Using developed apparatus we conducted the tests for $^{192}Ir$ brachytherapy sealed source and two kinds of sealed source for industrial radiography. $^{192}Ir$ brachytherapy sealed source is classified by temperature class 5, external pressure class 3, impact class 2 and vibration and puncture class 1. Two kinds of sealed source for industrial radiography are classified by temperature class 4, external pressure class 2, impact and puncture class 5 and vibration class 1. After the tests, Liquid nitrogen bubble test and vacuum bubble test were done to evaluate the safety of the sealed sources.

In order to obtain the dynamic response behavior of the rock subjected to blasting loading, a shock-proof high sensitivity impact sensor which can measure high frequency dynamic force and strain events should be adopted. Because the impact sensors which uses quartz and piezoelectric element are costly, generally the strain measurement-based impact (SMI) sensors are applied to high speed loading devices. In this study, dynamic Brazilian tension tests of granitic rocks was conducted using the Nonex Rock Cracker (NRC) reaction driven-high speed loading device which adopts SMI sensors. The dynamic response of the granite specimens were monitored and the intermediate strain rate dependency of Brazilian tensile strengths was discussed.

Military rotorcraft should be designed taking into account the condition of the fuel cell bullet impact. The internal fluid pressure, stress of metal fitting and fuel cell, bullet kinetic energy can be included as the design factor for the fuel cell. The best way to obtain the important design data is to conduct the verification test with actual product. But, the verification test requires huge cost and long-term effort. Moreover, there is high risk to fail because of the sever test condition. Thus, the numerical simulation is required to reduce the risk of trial-and-error together with prediction of the design data. In the present study, the bullet impact simulation based on SPH(smoothed particle hydrodynamics) is conducted with the commercial package, LS-DYNA. As the result of the numerical simulation, the internal pressure of fuel cell is calculated as 350~360MPa and the equivalent stress caused by hydro-ram effect is predicted as 260~350MPa on metal fittings.

Korea Aerospace Research Institute has been designed and manufactured various thurst nozzles of the scramjet engine for optimized configuration. The test campaign for thurst nozzle characteristics was performed at T4 free-piston shock tunnel in University of Queensland, Australia. Total 8 kinds of thrust nozzles and 2 kinds of side walls were manufactured for this campaign. In this paper, the design and specification of thrust nozzles was reported. Based on the static pressure distribution of the engine and pitot pressure distributions at nozzle exit, The positive net thurst was observed with baseline case of the test campaign.

원자로 압력용기 재료의 중성자 조사 취화 문제는 원자력발전소의 안전성 및 수명 관리에 가장 중대 한 영향을 미친다. 재료의 조사 취화를 평가하기 위하여 수행하고 있는 충격 및 인장시험 같은 파괴적 시험 결과는 석출물 크기나 분포, 전위 밀도 등, 재료 자체의 조직학적 특성에 좌우되므로 한정된 시편을 이용한 평가에는 많은 불확실성이 존재하게 된다. 따라서 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 비파괴기술을 이용한 조사 취화 평가에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 현재 원자로 압력용기 재료의 조사 취화에 따른 미세 조직 변화를 분석하기 위하여 응용되고 있는 비파괴기술로는 전기, 자기, 전자기, 초음파 및 경도측정법 등이 있으나 비파괴피험 결과와 미세조직의 변화, 기계적 성질 및 취화 정도 등과의 상관 관계를 정립해야만 기존 파괴적 시험의 대체가 가능하게 된다. 따라서 현재까지 수행되고 있는 여러 비파괴기술을 이용한 조사 취화 평가 연구결과를 비교 분석하여 보다 실현 가능성 있는 비파괴기술을 검토하였다.
