In this paper, we analyzed damage patterns of a folder type mobile phone caused by microwave-irradiation, to find an accurate fire cause and to investigate deliberate broken of mobile phone for obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception. In order to analyze broken patterns, we irradiated a mobile phone with microwave using by 2.45 GHz microwave oven. Form the experiment results, damage patterns of mobile phone have been tendency toward heavy broken patterns depending on time of microwave-irradiated. Distinctively, folder hinge and intenna(Planar Inverted-F Antenna) were heavy broken in compare with battery, enclosure and so on. The enclosure of mobile phone became just thermo-metamorphism and the battery was not broken such as explosion.

Laboratory model blast and in-situ rock blast tests were conducted to determine blast-induced stress wave propagation characteristics under different explosive types, different loading conditions and different mediums. Dynamic numerical approaches were conducted under the same conditions as experimental tests. Stress magnitudes at mid-point between two blast holes which were detonated simultaneously increased up to two times those of single hole detonation. The rise time of maximum stress in a decoupled charge condition was delayed two times that of a fully charged condition. Dynamic numerical analysis showed almost similar results to blast test results, which verifies the effectiveness of numerical approaches fur optimizing the tunnel blast design. Dynamic numerical analysis was executed to evaluate rock behavior and damage of the contour hole, the sloping hole adjacent to the contour hole in the road tunnel blasting pattern. The rock damage zone of the sloping hole from the numerical analysis was larger than that of the contour hole. Damage in the sloping hole can be reduced by using lower density explosive, by applying decoupled charge, or by increasing distance between the sloping hole and the contour hole.

본 연구에서 액체금속로의 노심용융(core meltdown)으로 인한 초 즉발 임계(super-prompt critical)의 출력 폭주 사고시, 노심의 반응도 및 열수력 특성 변화와 에너지 방출량등을 계산하기 위하여, Bethe-Tait 방버론을 수정, 보완한 분석 모델이 개발되었다. 주요 보완 내용으로서는, 금속 연료 노심의 단상 액체 영역에서의 선형의(Linear) threshold 형태의 상태 방정식뿐만 아니라 포화 증기(saturated fuel vapor) 영역에서의 상태 방정식이 개발되었고, 이에 따른 노심 붕괴 반응도(disassembly reactivity)의 분석 모델이 개발되었다. 또한 도플러 반응도 효과를 고려하기 위한 분석모델도 아울러 개발되었다. 상기 보완 모델을 실행할 수 있는 수치 해석 프로그램이 개발되었고, 이를 활용하여 KALIMER에서 HCDA가 발생하였을 경우 노심에서의 에너지 방출량 계산이 수행되었다. 분석결과 도플러 효과와 포화 증기 영역에서의 압력 증가 및 노심팽창의 중요성이 확인되었다. 도플러 효과가 고려되지 않을 경우 HCDA는 분석된 모든 반응도 삽입률에 대하여 폭발적인 에너지 방출과 함께 사고가 종결되는 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 도플러 상수가 최적 평가치인 -0.002인 경우 50$/s이하의 반응도 삽입률에서는 노심은 비등점(0.8KJ/g)에 도달치 않았으며, 설계 기준 사고인 100$/s의 경우에도 노심은 포화 증기 영역에 머물고 압력이 급격히 증가하는 단상(single phase)액체 영역의 threshold 값에 미치지 않기 때문에 사고는 핵연료 증기(vapor)의 점진적인 분산과 함께 종결되는 것으로 분석되며, 총 에너지 발생량은 약 1,800MJ로서 기계적 손상 에너지로 전환되는 분율을 고려할 때 KALIMER 원자로 용기의 구조 설계 기준치에 비해 상당한 여유도를 갖는 것으로 평가되었다.

Forensic Engineering is the art and science of professionals qualified to serve as engineering experts in courts of law or in arbitration proceedings. Buses using compressed natural gas (CNG) trend to be extended in use internationally as optimal counterplan for reducing discharge gas of light oil due to high concern about environment. However, CNG buses have to be equipped with composite pressure vessels (CPVs); since the CPVs contain compressed natural gas, the risks in the case of accident is very high. Hence, the investigation of such accidents is usually associated with engineering analysis. Among the possible reasons for such CNG explosion accidents is vehicle fire and vessel fracture. By conducting formal inspection and engineering tests, in this study, the cause of vessel explosion is investigated by analyzing the failure mechanism by fractography and by comparing the material properties of a reference part with those of a problem part by adopting instrumented indentation technique.

선박의 구조설계단계에서 최종붕괴강도를 설계기준으로 삼는 경우는 거의 없으나 최근에 각국 선급에서 최종붕괴강도를 의무적인 설계기준으로 삼기 위해 자체적인 해석법과 설계식을 제시 하고 규정화하는 작업을 진행시키고 있다. [12, 17, 31, 32]. 1994년 ISSC [1]에서도 토론된바와 같이 특히 새로운 구조방식을 가진 선박의 합리적인 구조설계를 위하여는 해상플렛폼의 구조설 계시와 마찬가지로 삼아야 할 것이다. 본고에서는 선각거더의 최종붕괴강도에 대한 해석법과 간이계산식에 관한 연구동향을 문헌조사를 통하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 순수굽힘모멘트가 작용 하는 문제의 경우 최종붕괴강도 해석법은 어느정도 확립되었다고 판단되지만 최종붕괴강도의 간이계산식은 아직도 정도 등의 면에서 개선의 여지가 남아 있다고 생각된다. 앞으로 순수 굽 힘모멘트뿐만아니라 조합하중을 받는 경우와 피로균열을 비롯한 초기구조손상을 가진 노후화된 선박에 대한 최종붕괴강도를 보다 정밀하게 해석하기 위한 해석법의 개발과 간이계산식의 도 출이 필요하다고 사료된다. 또한, 충돌, 좌초, 폭발 등에 기인된 선각거더의 붕괴강도 평가를 위한 해석법의 개발도 앞으로 남은 과제중의 하나이다.

The proportion of natural gas-fueled power generation is expanding due to the change of domestic energy policy pursuing reduction of dust and increasing clean energy consumption. Natural gas fuels used for the combined-cycle power plants and the district-heating power plants are operated at high temperature and high pressure in the fuel supply system. Accidents due to leakage of the gas such as fire and explosion should be prevented by applying risk management techniques. In this study, risk assessment was performed on the natural gas fuel supply system of a combined power plant based on the API RP 581 RBI code. For the application of the API RBI code, lines and segments of the evaluation target system were identified. Operational data and input information were analyzed for the calculations of probability of failure and consequence of failure. The results of the risk assessment were analyzed over time from the initial installation time. In the code-based evaluation, the gas fuel supply system was mainly affected by thinning, external damage, and mechanical fatigue damage mechanisms. As the operating time passes, the risk is expected to increase due to the external damage caused by the CUI(Corrosion Under Insulation).

With the introduction of 40 hour working week system, more households enjoy picnics on weekends. More gas accidents take place on Saturdays and on Sundays than any other days of week. As of October, 2004 casualties resulted from butane can accidents increased 1.5 times compared to the same period of the previous year. In this study, the influence of explosion over-pressure caused by the rupture of butane can thrown away after use was calculated by using the Hopkinson's Scaling Law and the accident damage was estimated by applying the influence on the adjacent structures and people into the Probit model. As a result of the damage estimation conducted by using the Probit model, both the damage possibility of explosion over-pressure to structures 50 meters away and that of over-pressure to people 10 meters away showed nothing. The explosion efficiency used was 100 percent. As a result of this, the actual damage influenced by the rupture of butane can would be lower than the value calculated in this study and expected to be safer.

The operation of electric automatic windows is used in harsh environments, and the energy density decreases as charging and discharging are repeated, and as soundness deteriorates due to damage to the internal separator, the vehicle's mileage decreases and the charging speed slows down, so about 5 to 10 Batteries that have been used for about a year are classified as waste batteries, and for this reason, as the risk of battery fire and explosion increases, it is essential to diagnose batteries and estimate SOH. Estimation of current battery SOH is a very important content, and it evaluates the state of the battery by measuring the time, temperature, and voltage required while repeatedly charging and discharging the battery. There are disadvantages. In this paper, measurement of discharge capacity (C-rate) using a waste battery of a Tesla car in order to predict SOH estimation of a lithium-ion battery. A Support Vector Machine (SVM), one of the machine models, was applied using the data measured from the waste battery.
