일체형 원자로는 제어봉의 고장으로 인해 제어봉을 이용한 원자로 정지가 불가능한 경우 원자로에 붕산을 주입하여 정지시킨다. 일반적으로 붕산을 주입하는 방식은 붕산 분말을 물에 용해시켜 고농도의 붕산수를 만들어 저장하고 있다가 사용하는 것이다. 그러나 이와 같은 방식은 구성 기기의 수가 많고 구성이 복잡하므로 비경제적이며 운전과 계측제어 및 유지보수 측면에서 불리하다 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 단점을 개선하기 위해 붕산 분말을 원자로에 직접 주입하는 방식을 채택하였다. 붕산 분말을 원자로에 직접 주입하므로써 기기의 수가 줄어들고 계통의 구성, 운전 및 유지보수가 매우 단순해지고 경제적이다

A high-pressure hose includes rebar layers of the synthetic fiber such as nylon or a steel wire to control internal pressure. The hose assembly is manufactured through the swaging process to clamp the hose into the metal fittings. Usually, the hose behavior is affected by the resultant of the longitudinal and circumferential forces produced by the internal pressure. The rebar layers can appear the most ideal rebar effect when they are arranged to the same direction as the resultant force. The braid angle applied in the rebar layers is an important factor in determining ultimate burst pressure and overall hose life. Failure can occur on the contacted parts of a hose with the metal fittings under severe operating conditions such as high pressure and temperature of the inner fluid. In this paper, the mechanical behavior between the hose and the metal fittings during the swaging process and the stress variation characteristics of a high-pressure hose under a constant applied pressure are analyzed with respect to the braid angle of steel wire using the finite element method.

Number of components and payload systems installed in satellites were found to be exposed to various disturbance sources such as the reaction wheel assembly, the control moment gyro, coolers, and others. A micro-level of vibration can introduce jitter problems into an optical payload system and cause significant degradation of the image quality. Moreover, the prediction of on-orbit vibration effects on the performance of optical payloads during the development process is always important. However, analyzing interactions between subsystems and predicting the vibration level of the payloads is extremely difficult. Therefore, this paper describes the analytical and experimental approach to microvibration effects on satellite optical payload performance with integrated jitter analysis frame-work, microvibration emulator and satellite structure testbed.

Exploring artificial intelligence and machine learning for nuclear safety has witnessed increased interest in recent years. To contribute to this area of research, a machine learning model capable of accurately predicting nuclear power plant response with minimal computational cost is proposed. To develop a robust machine learning model, the Best Estimate Plus Uncertainty (BEPU) approach was used to generate a database to train three models and select the best of the three. The BEPU analysis was performed by coupling Dakota platform with the best estimate thermal hydraulics code RELAP/SCDAPSIM/MOD 3.4. The Code Scaling Applicability and Uncertainty approach was adopted, along with Wilks' theorem to obtain a statistically representative sample that satisfies the USNRC 95/95 rule with 95% probability and 95% confidence level. The generated database was used to train three models based on Recurrent Neural Networks; specifically, Long Short-Term Memory, Gated Recurrent Unit, and a hybrid model with Long Short-Term Memory coupled to Convolutional Neural Network. In this paper, the System Engineering approach was utilized to identify requirements, stakeholders, and functional and physical architecture to develop this project and ensure success in verification and validation activities necessary to ensure the efficient development of ML meta-models capable of predicting of the nuclear power plant response.

개별요소방법은 재료의 미시적 거동 및 불연속적 거동과 관련하여 지반공학 분야에서 그 활용이 증가하고 있으나, 기존 개별요소 방법들은 입자형태의 재료들간 상호작용을 위주로 연구되었으며, 이는 지반공학 분야에 개별요소 방법을 제한적으로 적용하는 주요 원인이 되었다. 최근 기존 개별요소 방법에 흙, 암반 및 투수성 매질에서의 물 흐름을 고려한 수리연동 기법의 적용연구(Kawaguchi et al., 2003; Shimizu, 2004)가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 개별요소방법에 수리연동 기법을 적용하여 수압조건별 지반의 공동생성 및 확장에 대한 수치해석을 실시하였다. 직사각형 해석요소에 입자크기와 초기 간극률 조건에 대한 개별요소 및 경계면 생성 후, 서보 제어방법을 통한 경계면 응력조건을 구현하였다. 수리거동의 고려는 연속방정식과 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 이용하여 압력과 속도를 구한 후, 입자와 유수간의 상호작용을 풀어가는 방식(Tsuji, 1993)으로 수행하였다. 구속압 조건($0.1MP{\alpha},\;0.5MP{\alpha}$)에 대하여 해석모델 중앙지점에 7단계로 증가되는 수평방향 유속을 재하하고, 재하지점 인근의 개별요소 이동 및 지점별 유량, 유속, 압력, 경계면 응력변화 등을 분석하였으며, 해석조건에 따라 개별요소와 수리 영향의 상호거동을 통한 공동생성 및 확장, 한계압력 발생 등을 확인하였다.

Although there has been substantial research on the squeal noise for the automotive brake system, robust design issues with respect to control factors equivalent to design variables in optimization, noise factors due to system uncertainties, and signal factors designed to accommodate a user-adjustable setting still need to be addressed. For the purpose, the robust design applied to the disk brake system has been investigated by DOE (Design of Experiments) based Taguchi analysis with dynamic characteristics. The specific goal of this methodology is to identify a design with linear signal-response relationship, and variability minimization. The finite element models of the disk brake assembly have been constructed, and the squeal noise problems have been solved by complex eigenvalue analysis. As the practical robust design to reduce the brake squeal noise, material properties of pad, disk, and backplate, thickness and geometry of pad are selected as control factors, material properties of pad and disk, and the contact stiffness have been considered as noise factors, and friction coefficient between pad and disk is chosen as a signal factor. Through the DOE based robust design, the signal-to-noise ratio and the sensitivity for each orthogonal array experiment have been analyzed. Also, it has been proved that the proposed robust design is effective and adequate to reduce the brake squeal noise.

Crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated cables are now widely used all over the world for extra-high voltage underground transmission systems. Prefabricated type (compression type) joint has developed in order to shorten the assembly time and lower the possibility of contamination at site by many companies in the world. For outdoor termination, to control the electric field distribution as uniform as possible, especially for the use of extra-high voltage system. much of products are adopting the oil-impregnated condensor cone type instead of electric field control element which uses the permitivity of it only (not capacitance). For Gas-immersed termination, dimension of outer insulation bushing was determined by IEC Publication 859. The highest voltage of underground power cable system is 345kV now, in Korea. We have much of experiences of the development of prefabricated type accessories for CV cable systems (154kV, 161kV, 230kV level). So it was possible to inspect the proto type of accessories for 345kV CV cable system and seems that the need time for the development of products is reduced.

Machine learning (ML) data-driven meta-model is proposed as a surrogate model to reduce the excessive computational cost of the physics-based model and facilitate the real-time prediction of a nuclear power plant's transient response. To forecast the transient response three machine learning (ML) meta-models based on recurrent neural networks (RNNs); specifically, Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), and a sequence combination of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and LSTM are developed. The chosen accident scenario is a control element assembly withdrawal at power concurrent with the Loss Of Offsite Power (LOOP). The transient response was obtained using the best estimate thermal hydraulics code, MARS-KS, and cross-validated against the Design and control document (DCD). DAKOTA software is loosely coupled with MARS-KS code via a python interface to perform the Best Estimate Plus Uncertainty Quantification (BEPU) analysis and generate a time series database of the system response to train, test and validate the ML meta-models. Key uncertain parameters identified as required by the CASU methodology were propagated using the non-parametric Monte-Carlo (MC) random propagation and Latin Hypercube Sampling technique until a statistically significant database (181 samples) as required by Wilk's fifth order is achieved with 95% probability and 95% confidence level. The three ML RNN models were built and optimized with the help of the Talos tool and demonstrated excellent performance in forecasting the most probable NPP transient response. This research was guided by the Systems Engineering (SE) approach for the systematic and efficient planning and execution of the research.

용접법은 선박 생산 공정에 있어서 금속 접합을 위해 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 용접은 금속 접합을 위해 유용한 방법이지만 국부적 가열, 용융, 냉각으로 이어지는 열하중에 의하여 잔류응력과 잔류변형을 발생시킨다. 잔류응력은 구조물의 강도에 부정적인 영향을 끼치고, 잔류변형은 조립 작업에 부정적인 영향을 끼치게 된다. 그러므로 역학적 방법에 의한 잔류응력과 잔류변형의 예측은 이들을 제어할 수 있는 방법을 작업 전에 제시할 수 있도록 하므로, 선체 강도 확보와 선박 생산성 향상을 위하여 매우 중요한 문제라고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 배경에서 용접 현상을 가장 잘 시뮬레이션할 수 있는 방법인 유한요소법을 이용한 3차원 열탄소성 해석을 이용하였다. 열탄소성 해석을 위하여 온도분포를 계산한 후 계산된 온도분포를 이용하여 용접변형 및 응력을 순차적으로 계산하였다. 온도분포 계산을 위하여 용융과정을 엔탈피 방법을 이용하여 구현하였으며, 용접비드의 용입은 요소생성법을 이용하여 구현하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 해석과정은 기존 연구에서 제시한 실험결과와 정성적으로 일치하는 결과를 주는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the temperature-pressure characteristics of a new SMH actuator using a Peltier module. The SMH actuator is characterized by its small size, low weight, noiseless operation, and compliance similar to that of the human body. The simple SMH actuator, consisting of the plated hydrogen-absorbing alloys as a power source, Peltier elements as a heat source, and a cylinder with metal bellows as a functioning part has been developed. To improve the thermal conductivity of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy, an assembly of copper pipes has been used. It is well known that hydrogen-absorbing alloys can reversibly absorb and desorb a large amount of hydrogen, more than about 1000 times of their own volume. The hydrogen equilibrium pressure increases when hydrogen is desorbed by heating of the hydrogen-absorbing alloys, whereas by cooling the alloys, the hydrogen equilibrium pressure decreases and hydrogen is absorbed. The new special metal hydride (SMH) actuator uses the reversible reaction between the heat energy and mechanical energy of a hydrogen absorbing alloys. The desirable characteristics of SMH actuator, which makes it suitable for the uses in medical and rehabilitation applications, have been also studied. For this purpose, the characteristics of the new SMH actuator for different temperature, pressure, and external load were explored.
