  • Electric cables are one of the most important components in a nuclear power plant since they provide the power needed to operate electrical equipment. Despite their importance, cables typically receive little attention since they are considered passive, long-lived components that have been very reliable over the years when subjected to the environmental conditions for which they were designed. The operating experience reveals that a defect of the insulator or poor construction causes the initial failure of cable. However, the number of cable failures increase with plant aging, and these cable failures are occurring within the plants' 40-year licensed period. These cable failures have resulted in plant transients, shutdown, loss of safety functions or redundancy, entries into limiting conditions for operation, and challenges for plant operators. Therefore, diagnosis of MV cable installed in NPPs has become one of the most urgent issues in recent years. In accordance with PSR, condition maintenance for cables is also continuously required. Recently, HFPD tests have been widely performed to diagnose cable in the transmission and distribution cable system. However, on-line HFPD wasn't used in the NPPs because of the danger of plant shutdown, measurement sensitivity and application problems, etc. In this paper, HFPD measurement with portable device was performed to evaluate the integrity of the 4.16kV & 13.8kV cable lines. The test results show that HFPD is highly attractive to the diagnosis of MV cables in NPP by high detection sensitivity on-site.

  • 절토사면은 토층, 풍화토, 풍화암, 연암, 경암 등의 풍화도가 다른 물질로 구성되어 있어 지반구성물질에 대한 공학적인 판단이 쉽지 않으며, 시공 중 또는 시공 후에 사면의 안정성 문제가 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 사면의 안정성 문제는 과거 30여년 동안 고속도로의 많은 절토사면에서 경험되어 왔으며 현재에도 계속적으로 사면붕괴 및 복구를 경험하고 있으나 체계적인 관리 및 조사가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 수집된 자료의 효율적인 자료분석을 통하여 절토사면을 체계적으로 관리하고자 하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 데이터베이스 프로그램을 개발하였으며, 이 관리프로그램을 활용한다면 국내에 분포하는 암반의 내적 요인들에 대한 지질 공학적인 특성을 파악할 수 있고 지역에 따라 분포하는 암석종류, 지질시대 및 지질구조에 따라 붕괴유형 및 발생빈도 등을 분석함으로써 도로 및 주택단지의 개설시 예비적인 사면안정문제를 예견할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • 금융기관 및 통신사 등 대량의 데이터를 다루는 회사에서 테스트환경은 구축 비용문제로 인한 스토리지 용량의 한계 및 중요정보 컬럼의 변환 등으로 운영환경과 항상 동일한 것은 아니다. 따라서, 이러한 테스트환경과 운영환경이 동일하지 않아 발생하는 SQL 성능저하는 예상치 못한 거래장애로까지 연결되어 기업의 금전적 손실 및 고객민원, 신뢰도 하락을 발생시키는 중요 원인이 되고 있다. 그동안 SQL과 관련한 성능연구는 DBMS Optimizer와 관련한 튜닝연구 중심으로 이루어져, 이러한 문제에 대해서는 다루어지지 않았다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 테스트환경과 운영환경의 차이로 발생하는 SQL의 성능저하에 따른 온라인 거래장애 방지를 위해 개선된 SQL 성능 기반의 IT 응용프로그램 변경관리 프로세스를 제시하여 그 효과성을 검증한다.

  • 상수관망에서 다양한 제수밸브 분포간의 우열성 평가는 상수관망의 신뢰성 확보를 위해 필수적이다. 기존 상수관망에 새로운 제수밸브를 추가할 경우나 새로운 상수관망을 건설할 경우, 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 제수밸브 분포간의 우열성을 평가하여 좀 더 효율적인 제수밸브 분포를 선택할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 방법은 상수관 및 제수밸브의 파괴 모의를 바탕으로 하며 제수밸브 분포간의 우열성은 상수관망의 신뢰도를 기준으로 하였다. 상수관망의 신뢰도는 상수관 파괴당 평균적인 단수인구로 나타내지며 충분한 횟수의 상수관 및 제수밸브 파괴모의를 통해서 산정하였다. 제안된 방법의 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 실제 상수관망을 대상으로 새로운 제수밸브를 추가할 경우 두가지 다른 밸브분포를 결정한 후 우열성을 판별하였다. 또한 다양한 제수밸브 신뢰도에 따른 관파괴당 평균단수인구를 산정하여 제수밸브 신뢰도가 상수관망의 신뢰도 향상에 미치는 영향을 검증하였다.

  • Embankment Slope (or Fill Slope) is defined as artificial slope formed by the filling of soil or rocks on the original ground. Recently a lot of embankment failures and collapse has occurred due to the increase of torrential rainfall and typhoons. Embankment collapse has lead to a great loss of lives and property therefore there is a need to establish a systematic embankment slope management system that will handle the maintenance and repair of risky embankment slopes. The objective of this study is to establish an "Embankment Slope Management Method" for embankment slopes located along national highways all over Korea. The method for field investigation of embankment slopes was recommended and the system for investment priority determination was also developed. The factors that lead to the collapse of embankment slopes caused by natural calamities were also determined through the initial survey of embankment slopes located along river fronts and mountainous areas.

  • The KSTAR device succeeded in first plasma generation on $13^{th}$ June of 2008 through comprehensive system test and commissioning. Among various kinds of the key factors that decisively affected the project, success in the construction and assembly of the major tokamak structure was most important one. Every engineering aspects of each structure were finally confirmed in the integrated commissioning period, and there were no severe troubles and failures prevented the KSTAR device from operating during the commissioning and the first plasma experiments. As a result, all of the experiences and technologies achieved through the KSTAR construction process are expected to be important fundamentals for future construction projects of superconducting fusion devices. This paper summarizes key engineering features of the major structures and of the machine assembly.

  • The process before the model learning stage in AI R&D can be subdivided into data collection/cleansing-data purification-data labeling. After that, according to the purpose of development, it goes through a stage of verifying the model by performing learning by using the algorithm of the artificial intelligence model. Several studies describe an important part of AI research as the learning stage, and try to increase the accuracy by changing the structure and layer of the AI model. However, if the refinement and labeling process of the learning data is tailored only to the model format and is not made for the purpose of development, the desired AI model cannot be obtained. The latest research reveals that most AI research failures are the failure of the learning data rather than the structure of the AI model. analyzed.

  • The O&M (Operation and Maintenance) phase of offshore plants with a long life cycle requires heavy charges and more efforts than the construction phase, and the occurrence of an accident of an offshore plant causes catastrophic damage. So previous studies have focused on design for reliability, and recently many studies have dealt with a maintenance system to prevent unexpected failures. Nowadays due to the emerging ICTs (Information Communication Technologies) and sensor technologies, it is possible to send health monitoring information of important equipment to administrator of an offshore plant in real time, which leads to having much concern on condition based maintenance policy or predictive maintenance. In this study, we have reviewed previous studies associated with condition-based maintenance of offshore plants, and introduced the approaches predicting failures of the compressor which is one of essential mechanical devices in LNG FPSO.

  • The power train of a concrete truck mixer reducer includes differential planetary gears to get a large reduction ratio for operating the mixer drum in a compact structure. These differential planetary gears are a very important part of the mixer reducer where strength problems are the main concern. Gear bending stress, gear compressive stress and scoring failure are the main concerns. Many failures in differential planetary gears are due to the insufficient gear strength and resonance problems caused by major excitation forces such as gear mating failure in the transmission. In the present study, where the excitation frequencies are the gear tooth passing frequencies of the mating gears, a Campbell diagram is used to calculate differential planetary gear critical speeds. Mode shapes and natural frequencies of the differential planetary gears are calculated by CATIA V5. These are used to predict gear resonance failures by comparing the working speed range with the critical speeds due to the gear transmission errors of the differential planetary gears.

  • The power train of hydro-mechanical continuously variable transmission (HMCVT) for 8-ton class forklift includes hydro-static units, hydraulic multi-wet disc brake & clutches and complex helical & planetary gears. The helical & planetary gears are key components of HMCVT's power train wherein strength problems are the main concerns including gear bending stress, gear compressive stress, and scoring failure. Many failures in power train gears of HMCVT are due to the insufficient gear strength and resonance problems caused by major excitation forces, such as gear transmission error of mating gear fair in the transmission. In this study, wherein excitation frequencies are the gear tooth passing frequencies of the mating gears, a Campbell diagram is used to calculate the power train gears' critical speeds. Mode shapes and natural frequencies of the power train gears are calculated by CATIA V5. These are used to predict resonance failures by comparing the actual working speed range with the critical speeds due to the gear transmission errors of HMCVT's power train gears.
