원자로용기의 안전성은 가동중 운전조건과 조사취화등으로 인한 재료의 열화(degradation)를 검토함으로써 평가되는데, 특히 운전조건중, 비상사태에 해당하는 가압열충격에 관한 평가가 최근 중요한 안전문제로 부각되고 있다 본 연구의 목적은 가압열충격 사고중 소규모 냉각재 손실사고(Small LOCA)가 발생하는 경우, 원자로용기 내벽에 존재하는 균열의 안전성을 유한요소해석을 통해 평가하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 Small LOCA 발생시 원자로용기의 내벽에 존재하는 균열의 종류, 방향, 균열형상비 및 클래드부의 두께가 응력확대 계수 계산에 미치는 영향을 평가하였으며, 이를 위해 총 14가지 경우에 대해서 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 이러한 Small LOCA 해석수행을 기초로 다양한 가압열충격 사고에 대한 유한요소해석 모델링 기법, 해석 기법, 후처리 기법을 제시하였다.

The present study is concerned with the hydrostatic extrusion process of copper-clad aluminum rod through metallurgical joining. In this study, the rigid plastic finite element program, HICKORY, is used to analyze the steady state extrusion process of the bimetal rod. Simulations are performed for copper-clad aluminum rod with several extrusion ratio to give the distributions of effective strain rate, equivalent stress and hardness. Experiments are also carried out for aluminum-inserted copper rod at room temperature. It is found out that finite element predictions are generally in good agreement with the experimental observations. The detail comparison of the extrusion loads by the finite element method with those by experiments are given.

The effects of pre-indentation technique are presented for A12024-T3 Alclad alloy using as skin material for aircraft fuselage and wing. Indentations were applied to specimens to be placed on the presumed path of fatigue crack growth before fatigue tests. Tension-tension fatigue tests were conducted on the edge cracked specimens in the L-T orientation. Test results were analyzed to investigate the effectiveness of pre-indentation with the variation of specimen's thickness, position of indentation and applied maximum stress. Fatigue crack retardation by pre-indentation is well recognized in the various conditions.

The clad samples of five plies of sheets comprising ferritic stainless steel (STS) and aluminum (Al) were prepared by roll-cladding at $350^{\circ}C$. The evolution of strain states and textures during roll-cladding of STS430/AA3003/AA3003/AA3 003/STS430 and STS430/AA3003/STS430/AA3003/STS430 was investigated by measurements of crystallographic textures and by simulations with the finite element method (FEM). Because the deformation mainly occurs in the Al layer during roll-cladding, the present investigation was focused on the Al layers located. The stacking sequence of sheet materials in the clad samples played an important role in the evolution of strain states during roll-cladding.

The UV laser trimming can be useful to have an accurate performance specification of the passive waveguide devices. In order to measure the change of the refractive index of polymer overclad layer under the irradiation of uv light in a high precision Bragg grating is fabricated on the silica core of planar waveguide and the corresponding transmittance spectrum was analyzed. An effective refractive index change of $4.7x10^{-5}$ was obtained for a straight waveguide when its $60{\mu}m$-thick overclad was irradiated by UV laser pulses of its total fluence 24 $J/cm^2$.

Derived was the scalar wave equation of optical fibers. Based on the derived equation, the dispersion characteristics of arbitrarily profiled fibers were analyzed. We applied the 1-D FEM employing quadratic interpolation fucntions to solve the scalar wave equation. To find the optimum index distribution of a fiber that has the ultra-low total dispersion, we analyzed QC fibers as objects. Adding 2$_{nd}$ and 3$_{rd}$ clads to DC fiber, we investigated the change of dispersion characteristics. We found the QC fiber parameters for which the dispersion was ultra-low flattened, less than 0.5 ps/km.nm for ${\lambda}=1.4~1.6{\mu}m$, and the dispersion value was as low as 0.20 ps/km.nm at ${\lambda}=1.55{\mu}m$.

The effect of press warm forming in cylindrical deep drawing of stainless-aluminum clad sheet metals are examined . The temperature of die and blank holder is varied from room temperature to 20$0^{\circ}C$, while the punch is kept cooled during test to increase the fracture strength of workpiece on the punch corner area. Test materials chosen for experiments are STS304-Al050-STS304, STS304-A1050-STS430-, STS304 and Al050 metals and teflon film as a lubricant is used on both sides of a workpiece. The limit drawing ration as well as quality of drawn cups (distribution of thickness and hardness)are investigated and discussed.

Performed here is an assessment study for deterministic fracture mechanics analysis of a pressurized thermal shock(PTS). The PTS event means an event or transient in pressurized water reactors(PWRs) causing severe overcooling(thermal shock) concurrent with or followed by significant pressure in the reactor vessel. The problems consisting of two transients and 10 cracks are solved and maximum stress intensity factors and maximum allowable nil-ductility reference temperatures are calculated. Their results are compared each other to address the general characteristics between transients, crack types and analysis methods. The effects of elastic-plastic material behavior and clad coating on the inner surface are explored.

A Comparative study on deep drawing of clad sheet is carried out to investigate the forming characteristics and the effectiveness of modified finite element analysis. An elasto-plastic finite element analysis Is developed to analyze the forming of clad sheet using explicit scheme and layered shell. Axisymmetric deep drawing of stainless clad metal sheet is performed and thickness distribution is obtained. The corresponding finite element analysis shows good agreement with the results. Some disagreement can be explained by the assumption of shell element and the complexity of deformation of clad sheet.

Circular slab waveguides are conformally mapped into straight waveguides. In the outer cladding region with monotonically increasing index profile, modified Airy functions (MAF) of traveling-wave form are introduced to express the leaky mode. Field distributions and losses calculated by the proposed method are compared with those obtained by the WKB (Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin) method. Detailed numerical examples are presented and compared with the conventional WKB methods, demonstrating our method not only allows a converging field at turning points but also guarantees fine accuracy.
