포천 화강암에 피로하중을 가할 때 암석의 변형 거동과 피로하중에 의해서 생성되는 미세균열의 발달특성을 초음파 속도측정 및 차분변형율 분석을 통하여 연구하였다. 미세균열은 피로하중이 가해지는 방향과 평행하게 생성되며, 피로하중이 가해지는 초기에는 기존의 미세균열이 전파되면서 생성된다. 새로운 미세균열은 피로파괴횟수의 약 1/8-l/6 이상의 지난 후 생성되기 시작한다. 초음파 속도 측정, 차분변형율 분석 및 영구변형 측정은 암석내의 미세균열 발달을 잘 지시한다. 그러나 각 방법에 의하여 규명된 미세균열의 발달상태는 약간의 차이를 보여, 미세균열의 발달을 정량적으로 규명하기 위해서는 각 방법에 의하여 측정된 결과를 종합하여 해석하여야 할 것으로 판단된다. 80% 피로하중 수준에서 초기에 발달하는 미세균열은 70% 하중수준에 비하여 2배 정도로 높아서 하중수준이 커질수록 초기에 발달하는 미세균열의 량은 많아질것으로 판단된다. 그러나 파괴 직전의 시료에 발달한 미세균열의 량은 암석 부피의 약 0.3% 정도로, 포천화강암의 경우 부피의 0.3% 정도의 미세균열이 발달하면 암석이 파괴에 도달하는 것으로 판단된다.

기체확산층은 유로에서 전극으로 반응물을 전달하고, 반응으로 생성되는 물을 배출하는 통로이며 열 배출과 전극 지지대 등의 역할을 하는 고분자전해질 연료전지의 핵심 구성요소이다. 본 연구에서는 국내외 기체확산층 상용 제품인 39BC와 JNT30-A3에 대한 연료전지의 성능 평가를 수행하였다. 25 ㎠ 단위 전지를 이용하여 유량, 상대습도 조건에 대한 분극 곡선을 측정하였고, empirical equation을 이용하여 운전 조건에 대한 성능 인자를 도출하였다. 기체확산층의 PTFE 함량이 높을수록 저항이 증가하였고, 미세다공층의 크랙은 물의 이동 통로로서 농도 손실에 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 상대습도가 낮을수록 Ohmic 저항이 증가하였지만, 전류밀도가 증가할수록 이온전도도가 증가하여 Ohmic 저항이 감소하였다. Empirical equation을 이용한 fitting curve을 통하여 기체확산층의 운전 조건에 대한 성능 인자 경향을 해석할 수 있었다.

The applicability of UPT (Ultrasound Pulse Thermography) for real-time defect detection of the ceramic heating plate is described. The ceramic heating plate with superior insulation and high radiation is used to control the water temperature in underwater environment. The underwater temperature control system can be damaged owing to the short circuit, which resulted from the defect of the ceramic heating plate. A high power ultrasonic energy with pulse duration of 280 ms was injected into the ceramic heating plate in the vertical direction. The ultrasound excited vibration energy sent into the component propagate inside the sample until they were converted to the heat in the vicinity of the defect. Therefore, an injection of the ultrasound pulse wave which results in heat generation, turns the defect into a local thermal wave transmitter. Its local emission is monitored and recorded via the thermal infrared camera at the surface which is processed by image recording system. Measurements were Performed on 4 kinds of samples, composed of 3 intact plates and the defect plate. The observed thermal image revealed two area of crack in the defective ceramic heating plate.

This study presents the findings of the structural health monitoring and the real time system identification of one of the first large scale building instrumentations in Turkey for earthquake safety. Within this context, a thorough review of steps in the instrumentation, monitoring is presented and seismic performance evaluation of structures using both nonlinear pushover and nonlinear dynamic time history analysis is carried out. The sensor locations are determined using the optimal sensor placement techniques used in NASA for on orbit modal identification of large space structures. System identification is carried out via the stochastic subspace technique. The results of the study show that under ambient vibrations, stocky buildings can be substantially stiffer than what is predicted by the finite element models due to the presence of a large number of partitioning walls. However, in a severe earthquake, it will not be safe to rely on this resistance due to the fact that once the partitioning walls crack, the bare frame contributes to the lateral stiffness of the building alone. Consequently, the periods obtained from system identification will be closer to those obtained from the FE analysis. A technique to control the validity of the proportional damping assumption is employed that checks the presence of phase difference in displacements of different stories obtained from band pass filtered records and it is confirmed that the "proportional damping assumption" is valid for this structure. Two different techniques are implemented for identifying the influence of the soil structure interaction. The first technique uses the transfer function between the roof and the basement in both directions. The second technique uses a pre-whitening filter on the data obtained from both the basement and the roof. Subsequently the impulse response function is computed from the scaled cross correlation between the input and the output. The overall results showed that the structure will satisfy the life safety performance level in a future earthquake but some soil structure interaction effects should be expected in the North South direction.

KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) fabricated MOX (Mixed Oxide) fuel pellets as a cooperation project with PSI (Paul Scherrer Institut) for an irradiation test in the Halden reactor. The MOX pellets were fitted into fuel rods that included instrumentation for measurement in IFE (Institutt for Energiteknikk). The fuel rods were assembled into the test rig and irradiated in the Halden reactor up to 50 MWd/kgHM. The irradiated fuel rods were transported to the IFE, where ceramography was carried out. The fuel rods were cut transversely at the relatively higher burn-up locations and then the radial cross sections were observed. Micrographs were analyzed using an image analysis program and grain sizes along the radial direction were measured by the linear intercept method. Radial cracks in the irradiated MOX were observed that were generally circumferentially closed at the pellet periphery and open in the hot central region. A circumferential crack was formed along the boundary between the dark central and the outer regions. The inner surface of the cladding was covered with an oxide layer. Pu-rich spots were observed in the outer region of the fuel pellets. The spots were surrounded by many small pores and contained some big pores inside. Metallic fission product precipitates were observed mainly in the central region and in the inside of the Pu spots. The average areal fractions of the metallic precipitates at the radial cross section were 0.41% for rod 6 and 0.32% for rod 3. In the periphery, pore density smaller than 2 ${\mu}m$ was higher than that of the other regions. The grain growth occurred from 10 ${\mu}m$ to 12 ${\mu}m$ in the central region of rod 6 during irradiation.

Recently, many utilities have considered interim dry storage of spent nuclear fuel as an option for increasing spent fuel storage capacity. Foreign nuclear regulatory committees have provided some regulatory and licensing requirements for relatively low- and medium-burned spent fuel with respect to the prevention of spent fuel degradation during transportation and interim dry storage. In the present study, the effect of cladding creep and hydride distribution on spent fuel degradation is reviewed and performance tests with high-burned Zircaloy-4 and advanced Zr alloy spent fuel are proposed to investigate the effect of burnup and cladding materials on the current regulatory and licensing requirements. Creep tests were also performed to investigate the effect of temperature and tensile hoop stress on hydride reorientation and subsequently to examine the temperature and stress limits against cladding material failure. It is found that the spent fuel failure is mainly caused by cladding creep rupture combined with mechanical strength degradation and hydride reorientation. Hydride reorientation from the circumferential to radial direction may reduce the critical stress intensity that accelerates radial crack propagation. The results of cladding creep tests at $400^{\circ}C$ and 130MPa hoop stress performed in this study indicate that hydride reorientation may occur between 2.6% to 7.0% strain in tube diameter with a hydrogen content range of 40-120ppm. Therefore, it is concluded that hydride re-orientation behaviour is strongly correlated with the cladding creep-induced strain, which varies as functions of temperature and stress acting on the cladding.

Current need of weight reduction in automotive part increases the application for high strength steel (HSS). The various types of high strength steels have been used to produce chassis part, control arms and trailing arms for weight reduction and increasing of fatigue durability such as dual phase steel (DP) and ferrite bainite steel (FB). But, DP and FB steels have proven to show inferiority in durability as well as press formability. Edge cracking occurred often in flange forming and hole expansion processes is the major failure encountered. This paper discussed the behavior of edge stretchability of high strength steel of DP and FB steels. Experimental works have been conducted to study the effect of punch clearance and burr direction on hole expansion ratio (HER). Also finite element simulation (FEM) has been preformed to clarify the mechanism of flange crack and support the experimental results on HER of DP and FB steels. It was simulated the whole process of blanking process following by hole expansion process and ductile fracture criterion named the modified Cockcroft-Latham model which was used to capture the fracture initiation. From the hole expansion tests and FEM simulation studies it was concluded that ferrite bainite steel showed better stretch-flangeability than dual phase steel. It was attributed to the lower work hardening rate of ferrite bainite steel than dual phase steel at the sheared edge.

This study was carried out to investigate the fracture behavior and the fracture criterion of yellow lauan(Shorea spp.), when has used for furniture and wood structures, and to offer a reliability for wood structure and basic data for wood fracture criterion in experiments which are fracture tested under mode I, mode II and mixed mode loading condition. The results were summarized as follows; 1. Fractures in specimens which have inclined grain in yellow lauan procedeed from crack tip in the radial direction along the grain. 2. In yellow lauan, $K_{IC}RL$ was 42.1kg/$cm^{3/2}$ and $K_{IIC}RL$ was 15.8kg/$cm^{3/2}$. 3. The fracture criteria of lauan were; ($K_I/K_{IC}$)+($K_{II}/K_{IIC}$)=1 in RL system with inclined grain at $45^{\circ}$, ($K_I/K_{IC}$)+$(K_{II}/K_{IIC})^2$=1 with inclined grain at $15^{\circ}$ and $(K_I/K_{IC})^2$+$(K_{II}/K_{IIC})^2$=1 with inclined grain at $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $75^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$, respectively. 4. The fracture criterion of wood could vary with the species, and the load applying condition. In order to measure the fracture criterion strictly, along with standardization of specimen geometry a large amount of experimental data is needed. 5. $K_{IC}$(critical stress intensity factor) can be predicted by grain angle. As the grain inclined angle increased, $K_{IC}$ and $K_{IIC}$ are increased.

강바닥판 교량의 교면포장은 차량의 윤하중을 상판에 고르게 분포시켜 교량 상판을 보호하는 역할을 한다. 하지만 교량의 장대화가 가속화됨에 따라 포장체와 강바닥판의 두께가 얇아지고 이 때문에 교면포장의 횡방향 균열이 빈번하게 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 강바닥판 교면포장의 파손원인 규명과 저감 방안을 모색하기 위해 윤하중을 받는 강박스형 거더를 가진 강바닥판의 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 다양한 구조적 매개변수 변화에 따른 교면포장 상면 변형도를 조사한 결과 해석결과에서 공통적으로 웹 상단에서 큰 인장변형이 발생하였고, 이것이 교면포장의 구조적인 파손의 주요 원인이 되는 것을 알 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 폭발하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 슬래브의 비선형 해석을 위한 개선된 수치 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 모델은 2축 응력 상태를 반영한 등가 강도에 의해 정의된 응력-변형률 관계를 사용하여 응력 상태를 직접 결정하는 변형률 속도 의존 이등방성 구성 모델을 다룬다. 또한, 균열 발생 후 콘크리트와 철근 사이의 부착 슬립이 점차 확대되어 소성힌지 영역으로 집중된다. 2축 응력 상태에서 콘크리트의 균열 방향은 주응력 방향에 따라 달라지므로 이를 고려한 부착 슬립 모델을 해석에 도입하였다. 해석 모델의 검증을 위해 수치해석과 실험결과의 상관관계 연구(correlation studies)가 수행되었다. 해석결과는 재료모델의 2축 거동과 부착 슬립의 영향을 고려하는 것이 해석결과의 정확성 향상에 중요함을 보여주며 제안된 해석 모델이 철근콘크리트 슬래브 부재의 폭발해석에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
