This study investigated physical properties and combustion gas characteristics for 8 types of wood pellets (4 domestic and 4 imported products) distributed in the domestic market. Results showed that most pellet types were first-grade pellets in the wood pellet quality standards in Korea with the exception of 3 pellet types from K company (second-grade in mechanical durability), G company (off-grade in nitrogen content) and P company (second-grade in ash percentage). Mixed pellets which contained more lignin and sap content were higher in mechanical durability (%) than that of white pellets. From the combustion gas analysis results, NOx emitted from all pellets combustion was at acceptable levels for national emission standard of the Clean Air Conservation Act except for pellets from G company. In addition, CO levels from all types of wood pellets were acceptable except for pellets from D company and domestic pellets were higher CO levels than imported pellets. These results indicate the higher CO levels in domestic pellets due to the usage of forest thinning materials including logging debris which usually had the high content of bark.

The probability of landslide hazards was predicted to natural terrain around the stone relics of Jinjeon-saji area, which is located in Yangyang, Kangwon Province. As the analysis results of field investigation, laboratory test and geology and geomorphology data, the effect factors of landslides occurrence were evaluated, and then the landslides prediction map was made up by use of prediction model considering the effect factors. The susceptibility of stone relics induced by landslides was investigated as the grading classification of occurrence probability using the landslides prediction map. In the landslides prediction map, the high probability area of landslides over 70% of occurrence probability was 3,489m3, which was 10.1% of total prediction area. If landslides are occurred at the high elevation area, the three stories stone pagoda of Jinjeon-saji (National treasure No.122) and the stone lantern of Jinjeon-saji (Treasure No.439) will be collapsed by debris flow.

The objectives of this paper are twofold to summarize the new findings and confirmed results from the Phebus FPT-1 experimental data and to report useful information to MELCOR users regarding the better use of MELCOR. For the core damage behavior, the early stage of a melt progression was predicted well; however, the late phase models, concerned with fuel dissolution, oxide cladding failure, fuel slumping, rubble debris heat up, effects of burn-up fuel, and so on, still showed limitations in MELCOR. For the fission product behavior, the comparison showed unexpected phenomena, various limitations, unresolved issues, and even absence of models. The issues summarized in this study have revealed the main areas where our endeavors need to be intensified in order to improve our understanding of severe accident phenomena. From the analysis of the Phebus FPT-1 test results, not only new core damage features, such as foaming or core expansion, but also possible new fission product release patterns due to effects from a high burn-up fuel have raised alternative challenging phenomena that should be solved in the next severe accident research phase.

본 연구에서 AFDA(Approximate Full Distribution Approach)를 사용하여 하수관의 성능불능확률(Probability of capacity failure)을 정량적으로 산정할 수 있는 신뢰성 모형이 개발되었다. 전국 여러 도시의 연 최대강우강도(Yearly Maximum Rainfall Intensity)를 이용하여 그 확률분포함수를 규명하였고 우수관(Storm sewer)의 성능불능확률 산정을 위한 신뢰성모형에 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 우수관의 성능불능확률을 산정하여 신뢰성 해석을 수행하였다. 먼저 적용도시의 강우자료를 면밀히 분석하고 연 최대강우강도의 통계적 특성을 분석하여 신뢰함수를 구축하였으며 우수관의 성능불능확률 산정을 위한 신뢰성 모형이 개발되었다. 그리고 우수관에 적체되는 토사의 깊이에 따라 우수관의 용량을 산정하였다. 재현기간별 강우강도를 사용하여 청주와 춘천의 원형우수관의 성능불능확률을 산정한 결과, 재현기간의 증가에 따란 성능불능확률을 급하게 상승하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 5년, 10년, 20년 재현기간에 따른 연 최대강우강도를 사용하여 청주와 춘천의 우수관의 성능불능확률을 산정하였다. 또한 토사의 적체에 따른 우수관 유효면적의 변화를 고려하여 두 도시의 우수관의 성능불능확률을 산정하였다. 원형 우수관의 성능불능확률을 산정한 결과, 토사의 적체에 따라 우수관의 용량은 감소하여 성능불능확률이 크게 증가하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 우수관의 용량 감소를 막고 성능불능확률을 최소화하기 위해 우수관에 적체된 토사의 양을 예측할 수 있는 연구가 필요하며 적체된 토사와 콘크리트나 강관벽면이 복합된 우수관에 대한 조도계수를 보다 더 정확히 정량화 할 수 있는 연구가 수행되어야 할 것이다.

강원도의 경우 대부분의 지형이 산지로 이루어져 있으며 2002년, 2003년과 2006년에 대규모 태풍 및 집중호우에 의해 많은 재산피해와 인명피해를 입었다. 특히 인제지역은 2006년 7월 태풍에 위니아와 빌리스로 인해 많은 산사태와 토사재해가 발생하였다. 피해원인을 분석해 보면 집중호우에 의해 산지 지역에 위치한 소하천으로 많은 양의 토사와 암설류등의 유입으로 인해 피해가 가중되었으며 이러한 토사재해의 특성과 요인을 분석하기 위해 최근 GIS 및 원격탐사를 이용하여 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 토석류 발생유역의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 토석류 발생 전후 영상을 토대로 재해 발생지역을 추출하여 디지타이징하고, GIS를 이용하여 토석류 발생지역의 DEM 생성 및 대상 유역을 추출하고 공간자료를 수집하여 토석류 발생영역별 수문학적, 지형학적 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과를 토대로 토석류 발생유역을 발생부, 유하부, 퇴적부로 분류하고 구간별 경사 분포와 토석류 및 산사태 발생지점과 하천의 거리, 면적 등을 고려한 상관관계 분석결과 유역의 경사와 하천과의 거리가 높은 상관성을 나타내었다.

During sling wear of a ferrous metal, a surface layer is formed. Its microstructure, constituting phases, and mechanical property are different from those of the original wearing material. Since wear occurs at the layer, it is important to characterize the layer and understand how wear rate changes with different layers. Various layers are formed depending on external wear conditions such as load, sliding speed, counterpart material, and environmental conditions. In this research, sliding wear tests of pure iron were carried out against two different counterparts (AISI 52100 bearing steel and $Al_2O_3$) in the air and in an inert Ar gas atmosphere. Pure iron was employed to exclude other effects from secondary phases in steel on the wear. Wear tests were performed at room temperature. Worn surfaces, wear debris, and cross-sections were analyzed after the test. It was found that these two different counterparts and environments produced diverse layers, resulting in significant changes in wear rate. Against the bearing steel, pure iron showed higher wear rate in an Ar atmosphere due to severe adhesion than that in the air. On the contrary, the iron showed much higher wear rate in the air against $Al_2O_3$. Different layers and wear rates were analyzed and discussed by oxidation, severe plastic deformation, and adhesion at wearing surfaces.

Currently, the coolant system in industrial sites is an efficient process to keep clean cutting oils. However, the damage to a pump occurs due to a chip and debris when inhaled into the pump, and thus problems such as the reduction of both efficiency and lifespan might arise. In this study, a new type of filter was developed in order to primarily prevent the damage from the pump impeller and make it unnecessary to have the replacement and cleaning at the same time. This study found the problem reducing the suction volumetric efficiency and cavitation when inhaled, and conducted a method to solve the problem compared to the result of fluid analysis according to two velocity conditions. As a result, this study achieved the effect of lowering the pressure and meeting the suction flow rate by connecting the four filters.

This investigation was performed in eutrophic lake within the framework of a series of studies to evaluate the significance of gram reaction for both bacterioplankton and attached bacteria in the dynamics of organic materials at various aquatic ecosystems. In Lake Kasumigaura as a representative of the highly eutrophic freshwater environments, the gram-stain characteristics of the bacterial community changed with the influx of pulses of phytoplankton, as those in the meso trophic environments. The predominency of the gram-negative forms in the bacterial community was about 57% for bacterioplankton and about 53% for attached bacteria. The statistical analysis of the difference of these two distributions showed that these communites were different. Both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria attached to particles were shown to effect the formation and degradation of particulate organic matter. Gram-negative bacteria plankton participate exclusively in the dynamics of dissolved organic matter.

The potential hazards resulting from a low-velocity impact(bird-strike, tool drop, runway debris, etc.) on aircraft structures, such as engine nacelle or leading edges has been a long-term concern to the aircraft industry. Certification authorities require that exposed aircraft components must be tested to prove their capability to withstand low-velocity impact without suffering critical damage. In most of the past research studies unloaded specimens have been used for impact tests, however, in reality it is much more likely that a composite structure is exposed to a certain stress state when it is being impacted, which can have a significant effect on the impact performance. And the radiated impact sound induced by impact is analyzed for the damage detection evaluation. In this study, an investigation was undertaken to evaluate the effect in-plane loading on the impact force and sound of composite laminates numerically.
