Theoretical backgrounds on the experimental methods of explosive welding, explosive forming and shock consolidation of powders are introduced. Explosive welding experiments of titanium (Ti) and stainless steel (SUS 304) plate were carried out. It was revealed that a series of waves of metal jet are generated in the contact surface between both materials; and that the optimal collision velocity and collision angle is about 2,100~2,800 m/s and $15{\sim}20^{\circ}$, respectively. Also, explosive forming experiments of Al plate were performed and compared to a conventional press forming method. The results confirmed that the shock-loaded Al plate has a larger curvature deformation than those made using conventional press forming. For shock consolidation of powders, the propagation behaviors of a detonation wave and underwater shock wave generated by explosion of an explosive are investigated by means of numerical calculation. The results revealed that the generation and convergence of reflected waves occur at the wall and center position of water column, and also the peak pressure of the converged reflected waves was 20 GPa which exceeds the detonation pressure. As results from the consolidation experiments of metal/ceramic powders ($Fe_{11.2}La_2O_3Co_{0.7}Si_{1.1}$), shock-consolidated $Fe_{11.2}La_2O_3Co_{0.7}Si_{1.1}$ bulk without cracks was successfully obtained by adapting the suggested water container and strong bonding between powder particles was confirmed through microscopic observations.

연료로 사용하는 가연성 가스의 양이 증가함에 따라 가스 사고 건수도 증가하고 있으며 가스사고 중 약 35% 정도가 가스의 누설사고였다. 이러한 가스의 누설사고는 일정시간 경과 후 적절하게 배출되지 못할 경우 화재나 폭발사고로 이어질 위험성이 매우 크다. 즉 가스의 누출은 폭발이나 연소의 3요소 중에서 가연물이 제공되는 과정으로 가스폭발사고나 화재를 예방하기 위해서는 근본적으로 가스의 누출을 방지해야 한다. (중략)

We present an innovative method of multi-physics application involving energetic materials. We use an Eulerian methodology to address these problems. We have devised a new level set based tracking framework that can elegantly handle large gradients typically found in energetic response of high explosive and metals. Proper constitutive relations are employed to model the transient phases of gas, lliquid, and solid in the high strain rate regime. We use the confined and unconfined rate stick results to validate against the experimental data.

In this study the structure of a two phase detonation has been numerically investigated through the assumption of a steady and one-dimensional flow in the suspension of carbon particles and pure oxygen. The bow shock formation in front of carbon particles has been taken into consideration when the relative velocity of gas flow with respect to the particle exceeds the local speed of sound. But its effect was found to be very limited to the induction zone only. Furthermore the interior particle temperature distribution has been considered in this work. It was found that the inner temperature gradient was very steep in the region of high relative velocity. On the while the temperature distribution inside the particle was almost uniform in the region of low relative velocity. Overall, the effect of the interior particle temperature distribution has been significant in the two phase detonation.

In this paper, internal blast effect of reinforced concrete core structure were investigated using Ansys Autodyn, which is a specialized hydrocode for the analysis of explosion and impact. It is expected that internal blast case can give additional damage to the structure because it causes rebound of blast loads. Therefore, in this paper, the hazard of internal blast effect is demonstrated using UFC 3-340-02 criteria. In addition, analysis result of Autodyn, experimental result regarding rebound of blast load, and example of UFC 340-02 are compared to verify that Autodyn can analyze internal blast effect properly. Furthermore, progressive collapse mechanism of core structure which is one of the most important parts in high rise buildings is also analyzed using Autodyn. When internal blasts are loaded to core structure, the core structure is mostly damaged on its corner and front part of core wall from explosives. Therefore, if the damaged parts of core wall are demolished, progressive collapse of the core structure can be initiated.

천리안위성은 2010년 6월 발사되어 지구적도상공 약36,000km, 동경 128.2도에 위치하고 지구 자전 방향으로 지구와 같은 속도로 회전하며 24시간 한반도를 관측하는 정지궤도위성이다. 정지궤도위성은 높은 고도로 인하여 태양활동 변화에 따른 태양풍, 고에너지 전자 등에 의한 영향을 직접적으로 받는 환경에 놓여있다. 과거 사례들로부터 정지궤도위성의 오작동은 태양활동에 의해 다양한 현상으로 발생될 수 있다는 사실도 밝혀졌다. 본 연구에서는 2013년 태양활동 극대기를 대비하여 태양활동 변화가 천리안위성의 탑재체에 끼치는 영향에 대해 조사되었다. 천리안위성은 기상 해양관측을 위한 광학탑재체와 통신서비스를 위한 통신탑재체로 이루어져있다. 이 중 우리는 2011년에 발생된 X등급의 태양폭발 규모에 따라서 기상관측을 수행하는 기상탑재체 상태가 태양폭발이 없는 기간의 상태와 어느 정도 차이를 보이는지 분석하였다. 2011년에 발생된 경보는 3단계 10회, 4단계 2회로 발생빈도가 증가하는 추세이다. 4단계 경보의 태양폭발에도 천리안위성은 모든 부분에서 정상운영을 유지하고 있다. 이번연구를 통해 태양폭발 규모에 따른 기상탑재체의 영향 정도를 가시화하여 앞으로 발생 가능한 문제를 예측하고 대비함으로서 안정적인 위성운영을 도모하고자 한다.

The static eliminator is used for prevention of disasters by static discharge, improvement of production efficiency, protection of a sensitive electronic element on the discharge of static, and it is handled for elimination of static in the painting plant, the film manufacturing plant, the producing semi-conductor factory. This study described on the explosion appearance by discharge phenomena on the voltage input type eliminator's ion generation bar of inflammable gas through an experimental tests. It was used Hydrogen, Ethylene, Propane, Methane gas with the inflammable gas and it was studied on the ignition phenomena by the length of ion-generation static bar, the number of ion-generation electrode and the variation of input voltage to the ion-generation electrode. As a result of this study it was confirmed that the shorter of the bar's length, the greater of explosion danger. And it is considered that there will not ignite at general using inflammable gas, in case of more than 900 mm bar and one electrode.

Nitrous oxide is known as green and safe propellant, and can be supplied by its own vapor pressure. So, many liquid propulsion research institutes and university laboratories use nitrous oxide as oxidizer of experimental liquid rocket engine. However, the unknown explosions occurred twice during hot fire experiments using subscale ethanol/nitrous oxide thruster. In this paper, we surmised that the explosions were caused by the decomposition of nitrous oxide in the injector body and the recondensation of nitrous oxide. Improvement and the safe handling methods are suggested.

The explosion phenomenon and hazard estimate of LP gas, the study was examined into variation of oxygen concentration and LP gas concentration. As the result of experiment, the lower explosive limit was decreased as the increased at concentration of LP gas and 21% of oxygen concentration. Minimum oxygen concentration was 14.5%. 12.0%, 11.5% at 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 bar respectively. And maximum explosion pressure was increased for $6.46kg/cm^2,\;9.41kg/cm^2\;and\;13.49kg/cm^2$ according to increased of pressure. The speed of flame propagation was increased as the higher with initial pressure of LP gas.
