The tribrachial flame has attracted interest as a basic structure of the flame edge. This flame structure helps understand stabilization of laminar flames and re-ignition of turbulent flames. A number of analytical and experimental studies have been carried out on the tribrachial flame. However, the effect of the variation of the flammability limits on the structure of the tribrachial flame has not been studied in detail. In this study, the effect of non-symmetric flammability limits on the flame structure was investigated by adopting a simple numerical scheme based on several laminar flame theories. A fixed velocity field was considered and boundary matching algorithm was used on the premixed branch. The variation of the diffusion branches under the non-symmetric flammability limits and heat loss was investigated. The formation and extinction of the diffusion branch behind the premixed branch were successfully described. This basic study can help understand the fundamental structure of the flame and can form the basis of subsequent detailed studies.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of bridging using Swiss ball, whole body vibration (WBV), and mat on trunk and lower extremity muscle activity and postural stability. The results were as follows: 1) EMG activity of internal oblique increased significantly in WBV condition compared with mat condition (p<.05). 2) EMG activity of rectus femoris and medial gastrocnemius increased significantly in Swiss ball condition and WBV condition compared with mat condition (p<.05). 3) The muscle activity of medial hamstrings increased significantly in Swiss ball condition compared with mat condition (p<.05). 4) The limit of stability in three groups increased significantly in all directions after 4-week intervention (p<.05). 5). There were no significant differences in the limit of stability among three groups after 4-week intervention (p>.05). Therefore the trunk and lower extremity muscle activity increased in Swiss ball and WBV conditions, and postural stability was improved in three groups after intervention period.

Yield seismic coefficient plays an important role in the estimation of permanent displacement of a soil slope subjected to earthquake using Newmark's sliding block theory. However, yield seismic coefficients currently used in practices are not mechanically rigorous since most of them are estimated using limit equilibrium methods considering equilibrium condition only. Therefore, estimation of permanent displacement of a soil slope based on existing yield seismic coefficient may cause problems. Limit analysis estimating the range of mechanically rigorous solution is thought to be effective in evaluating the validity of existing yield seismic coefficient. In this study, a simple stability chart for yield seismic coefficient useful in practices is proposed by considering various slope conditions including stability number, slope inclination, strength parameters, etc.

One of the cause of embankment failure for piping is a routine design for piping consideration without exact understanding of that. Therefore, in this study, comparison and analysis of existing piping consideration methods had been conducted through embankment sections when sheet piles constructed on sandy ground. For the Terzaghi method and the critical hydraulic method, safety factors were changed up to double depending on the method. And for the critical velocity method, it was dramatically changed due to design parameters. Consequently, existing piping consideration method currently used is recommended not to be applied to all ground conditions uniformly but to applied with exact understanding of each consideration method characteristics depending on ground conditions.

Core safety limits define reactor operating conditions and parameters that will assure fuel rod and reactor system's integrity. Limiting safety system settings (LSSS) programmed into reactor protection system (RPS) then ensure a rapid reactor trip to prevent or suppress conditions which might violate the core safety limits. Generation of the LSSS must properly take into account uncertainties in both calculated and measured parameters in order to assure, with an appropriate degree of confidence, that the RPS will protect the core safety limits. Reviewed in this report are Westinghouse RPS setpoint generation philosophy, methodology of safety limit development and LSSS generation procedure. The Westinghouse RPS trip setpoint generation methodology has been established based on the calculation of core safety limits and the selection of LSSS allowing appropriate uncertainties in a conservative manner. Such conservative values of setpoint assure a high degree of core protection against fuel melting and occurrence of DNB.

The objective of this paper is to examine the ways in which to implement MEPS method for setting the design and operational limits in order to provide the guaranteed performance of the aircraft engine. Direct adder arithmetically added and related with the effects of ambient humidity, engine quality, throttle set tolerance and deterioration, etc is described with the random adder added in root square sum. The method was applied on the preliminary design of 4,000Ib class turbofan engine and the MEPS for engine component design and operational margin was generated.

A method for determining the optimum ideal MHD $\beta$limit and the operation conditions is presented for an axisymmetric tokamak reactor with a circular cross section. The $\beta$limit is calculated under the constraints of ideal MHD instability criteria with varying the operation conditions which depend on the toroidal current density distributions. Semiempirical laws deduced from experimental observations are used for the toroidal current density distributions. Analytic derivations of various equations required to determine the $\beta$limit are carried out from the empirical equations. Various distributions of the $\beta$limit are obtained by the numerical calculations for different distributions of the toroidal current density. The resulting values of the maximum $\beta$limited by ideal MHD instabilities are expressed by a scaling law in terms of the tokamak geometry and the safety factor.

가속수명시험은 제품의 사용조건 보다 높은 스트레스 수준에서 시험하여 제품의 신뢰수명을 추정하는 것으로써 스트레스 수준을 일정하게 유지하는 일정형 시험이 일반적이다. 그러나 경우에 따라서는 시험절차의 편리와 시험기간의 단축을 위해서 스트레스를 시간에 따라 선형적으로 증가시키는 램프(ramp)형 시험을 사용하기도 한다. 이 논문에서는 일정스트레 s에서 제품의 수명이 모수 $\Theta$(s), $\beta$인 와이블분포를 따르고 수명과 스트레스의 관계가 역거듭제곱모형인 경우에 스트레스를 사용조건에서 가하고, 스트레스 수준의 최대 한계가 주어져 있는 램프시험 하에서 시험제품이 갖는 수명분포를 유도하고, 정시관측중단시험의 경우에 대해서 수명분포의 최우추정량과 추정량의 점근분포를 구하며, 최우추정치를 구하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.
