Nowadays, automated modeling system for steel margin based on interactive user interface has been developed and applied to the production design stage. The system could increase design efficiency and minimize human error owing to recent CAD technique. However, there has been no approach to the pre-nesting design stage at all in early modeling process especially where ship model should be handled at more than two design stages using AVEVA Marine. A designer of the design stage needs artificial intelligence system beyond modeling automation when 3D model must be prepared in early modeling process using AVEVA Marine because they have focused on 2D nesting traditionally. In addition, they have a hard time figuring out the model prepared in previous design stage and modifying the model for steel purchase size in early modeling process. In this paper, artificial intelligence modeling system for automated application of steel margin in early modeling process using AVEVA Marine is developed in order to apply to the pre-nesting design stage that can detect effective segments before a calculation to find if a segment locates near block butt boundaries by filtering noise segments among lines, curves and surface intersections based on IT big data analysis.

A Study on the Fracture Strength of All-Ceramic Crown according to the Zirconia Coping Design using CAD/CAM System L. Bulgan, In-Ho Cho, Soo-Yeon Shin Department of Prosthodontics, Graduate School, Dankook University The fracture strength of prosthesis is important, because it affects the function, and long term success of prosthesis and teeth. The purpose of this study was to compare the fracture strength of zirconia coping designs. Experimental test group were classified into three designs according to coping design, Modified design: Zirconia coping margin was located at 1mm above the axiogingival line angle. Collarless design: The coping margin terminated at the axiogingival line angle Butt design: The coping margin was extended to the finishing line of prepared margin. A $Cercon^{(R)}$(Degussa, Germany) CAD/CAM system was used to make the zirconia coping. Fracture strength was measured using loading machine at a cross head speed of 1mm/min. The results were statistically analyzed using the one-way ANOVA and multiple comparison test. Statistical significance was set in advance at the probability level of less than 0.05. The result : I. Collarless($738N{\pm}155N$) and Modified($755N{\pm}185N$) groups showed significantly a lower fracture strength than Butt($1057N{\pm}262N$) group(p<0.05). II. There were no statistical differences of the fracture strength between Modified($755N{\pm}185N$) and Collarless($738N{\pm}155N$) groups. III. When comparing the fractured surface, all the group showed porcelain fracture, which were fractured at the labial surface of baked porcelain The butt design of the zirconia coping has higher fracture strength than modified and collarless design.

The permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is widely used in various fields and the proportional-integral (PI) controller is popular in PMSM control systems. However, the motor parameters are usually unknown, which can lead to a complicated PI controller design and poor performance. In order to design a PI controller with good performance when the motor parameters are unknown, a control algorithm based on stability margin is proposed in this paper. First of all, based on the mathematical model of the PMSM and the least squares (LS) method, motor parameters are estimated offline. Then based on the estimation values of the motor parameters, natural angular frequency and phase margin, a PI controller is designed. Performance indices including the natural angular frequency and the phase margin are used directly to design the PI controller in this paper. Scalar functions of the d-loop and the q-loop are selected. It can be seen that the designed controller parameters satisfy Lyapunov large scale asymptotic stability theory if the natural angular frequencies of the d-loop and the q-loop are large than 0. Experimental results show that the parameter estimation method has good accuracy and the designed PI controller proposed in this paper has good static and dynamic performances.

Decisions of the design speed, MCR, and engine capacity have been empirically made by assuming the value termed the sea margin. Due to ambiguity regarding the effect of some factors on the sea margin, the value has been commonly decided based on experience. To evaluate the value from a new viewpoint, it is necessary to construct an approach to estimate the sea margin through an objective procedure based on a physical and mathematical model. In this paper, a framework to estimate the actual sea margin of an LNGC based on the maneuvering equations of motion is suggested by considering the hull, propeller, rudder, and given sea route under wind and waves. The fouling effect is additionally quantified as the increase of total resistance by considering the re-docking period. The operation data is reviewed to amend the increase of the total resistance considering the speed loss of a ship. Finally, the factor of how much the resistance increases due to fouling is newly obtained for the vessel. Based on the comparison of the estimated sea margin with the empirical range of the sea margin, the constructed framework is regarded as feasible.

The Core Protection Calculator System (CPCS) is vital for plant safety as it ensures the required Specified Acceptance Fuel Design Limit (SAFDL) are not exceeded. The CPCS generates trip signals when Departure from Nucleate Boiling Ratio (DNBR) and Local Power Density (LPD) exceeds their predetermined setpoints. These setpoints are established based on the operating margin from the analysis that produces the SAFDL values. The goal of this research is to create a simplified CPCS that optimizes operating margin for I-SMRs. Because the I-SMR is compact in design, instrumentation placement is a challenge, as it is with Ex-core detectors and RCP instrumentation. The proposed CPCS addresses the issue of power flux measurement with In-Core Instrumentation (ICI), while flow measurement is handled with differential pressure transmitters between Steam Generators (SG). Simplification of CPCS is based on a Look-Up-Table (LUT) for determining the CEA groups' position. However, simplification brings approximations that result in a loss of operational margin, which necessitates compensation. Appropriate compensation is performed based on the result of analysis. FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) are presented as a way to compensate for the inadequacies of current systems by providing faster execution speeds and a lower Common Cause Failure rate (CCF).

Analyzed is the thermal margin of the Korea Nuclear Unit 1 (KNU-1) reactor core consisting of either 14 x 14 standard fuel assemblies (SFA) or optimized fuel assemblies (OFA). Employed for the analysis are two different thermal design methods; traditional and statistical thermal design method. Compared to the traditional design thermal method, the statistical thermal design method improves the core thermal margin utilizing best-estimate values for the core operating parameters combining their uncertainties in a statistical manner. Calculations are performed using a steady state and transient thermal-hydraulic analysis computer program, COBRA-IV-i. Calculated results show that the statistical thermal design method significantly improves the thermal margin and satisfies the core thermal design base of the KNU-1 SFA and OFA core. However, the thermal design base can not be met, if the traditional thermal design method is employed for the OFA role analysis.

In this study, the probabilistic fatigue life model for Ni-base alloys was developed based on the Weibull distribution using statistical analysis of fatigue data reported in NUREG/CR-6909 and the new fatigue data of Alloy 52M/152 and 82/182. The developed Weibull model can consider right-censored data (i.e., non-failed data) and quantify the improved safety (or reliability) based on the level of failure probability. The overall margin in the current fatigue design limit model (ASME design curve + NUREG/CR-6909 F_en model) is similar to that of the Weibull model with a cumulative failure probability of approximately 2.5%. The margin in the current fatigue design limit model demonstrated inconsistencies for the Ni-base alloy weld data, whereas the Weibull model showed a consistent margin. Therefore, the Weibull model can systematically mitigate the excessive safety margin.

After extraction of tooth, alveolar ridge resorption is inevitable in most cases. Clinicians confront with horizontal and vertical resorption of alveolar bone. Without massive amount of bone and soft tissue graft, dental implant will be placed apically to gain stability. In those cases, not only white esthetic part, but also pink esthetic part should be restored with pink porcelain. The margin of prosthesis should be located apically to reproduce natural look with adjacent teeth. However, when the margin is located apically, it is always hard to remove remaining cement, thus complications may arise. In this report, a novel design of implant prosthesis is introduced to solve those issues. The novel design is consisted of zirconia framework with pink porcelain and separate crowns on top of the framework. It eliminates the possibility of cement remnants by bringing the crown margin coronally. Pink esthetic part is incorporated in abutment part instead of crown part and the screw hole is covered with separate crowns.

반도체 physical layout design rule이 작아짐에 따라 Proximity effect와 overlay가 Pattern 구현에 크게 영향을 미치고 있다. Metal layer와 contact의 부족한 overlay margin으로 overlay 불량이 발생하고, 감소한 space margin으로 인해 bridge와 같은 문제가 나타난다. 따라서, resolution을 향상시키고, 최소한의 overlay margin을 확보함으로써 미세 pattern의 구현을 가능하게 한다. 이를 위해 OPC와 attPSM 같은 분해능향상기술이 사용된다. 그러나 attPSM의 사용은 원하지 않는 pattern이 생성되는 sidelobe와 같은 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 serial image simulation올 통해 추출한 rule을 rule-based correction에 적용하여 sidelobe현상을 방지한다. 그리고 overlay margin 부족으로 나타나는 문제는 metal layer와 contact overlap되는 영역의 line edge를 확장하고, rule checking을 통해 최소한의 space margin을 확보하여 해결한다 따라서 overlay error를 rule-based correction을 사용하여 효과적으로 방지한다.
