This paper describes the beneficial effect of weldment imperfection of the cask impact limiter, by applying intermittent-weld, for impact energy absorbing behavior. From the point of view of energy absorbing efficiency of an energy absorber, it is desirable to reduce the crush load resistance and increase the deformation of the energy absorber within certain limit. This paper presents the test results of intermittent-weldment and the analysis results of cask impacts and the discussions of the improvement of impact mitigating effect by the imperfect-weldment. The rupture of imperfect weldment of an impact limiter improves the energy-absorbing efficiency by reducing the crush load amplitude without loss of total energy absorption. The beneficial effect of weldment imperfection should be considered to the cask impact limiter design.

구조물은 지진, 풍랑 등과 같은 외부의 충격에 대해서 노출되어 있기 때문에 대규모의 피해가능성이 항상 존재한다. 이러한 외부에 대한 충격흡수 장치는 여러 가지가 있다. 이러한 기구 중에서 널리 사용되고 있는 것이 기계적 에너지를 소산시키는 유압 감쇠기이다 본 논문에서는 유압 감쇠기의 단점을 보완하고 보다 효율이 높은 감쇠기를 나노기술을 응용하여 새로운 감쇠기에 대한 기초적 이론연구를 하였다. 새로운 감쇠기는 내부에 점성 유체 대신에 무기재료의 입자를 유체와 혼합하여 사용하였고 오리피스를 생략함으로 해서 보다 간단한 구조로 설계하였다. 나노 단위 기공에서의 유동 현상을 설명하기 위해서는 기존의 유체역학에 대한 지배방정식 및 가설들이 더 이상 적용이 되지 않는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 지금까지 명확하게 규명되지 않았던 감쇠기의 열 발생, 나노 유동, 그리고 에너지 소산에 대한 이론적 해석을 수행하였다. 그리고 다공 입자 구조에 따른 에너지 소산에 대한 영향을 모델링하여 조사하였다. 감쇠 효과를 검토하기 위해 기존의 유압 감쇠기와 에너지 소산효율을 비교하였다. 또한 감쇠 효율을 수치적인 해석결과와 실험 결과를 서로 비교하여 검토하였다.

본 논문에서는 주기패턴 레이더 흡수 구조(RAS)에 다양한 손상을 모사하기 위한 저속충격시험을 수행하고 파손모드에 따른 전자기파 흡수 성능 특성 변화를 평가하였다. 주기패턴 레이더 흡수 구조는 주기패턴시트(PPS) 및 유리섬유강화플라스틱(GFRP)으로 구성되며 설계 및 제작된 구조는 X-band(8.2-12.4 GHz)에서 효과적으로 전자기파를 흡수하였다. 제작된 레이더 흡수 구조에 다양한 손상을 유도하기 위해 충격에너지에 따른 저속충격시험을 수행하였으며, 육안검사, 비파괴 검사 및 이미지 프로세싱을 이용하여 발생한 손상모드 확인 및 손상영역을 정량화하였다. 충격 전, 후 레이더 흡수 구조의 전자기파 흡수 성능은 자유공간 측정 시스템을 이용하여 평가하였다. 시험결과, 15 J의 낮은 충격에너지로 인해 발생한 크기가 작은 층간분리는 레이더 흡수 구조의 전자기파 흡수성능 변화에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그러나 충격에너지를 40 J 또는 60 J로 증가시켜 상대적으로 넓은 영역의 섬유파손 또는 관통파손이 발생한 구조에서는 전자기파 흡수 성능이 크게 저하되는 것을 확인하였다.

Due to the environmental problems of fuel consumption and vehicle emission, etc., automotive makers are trying to reduce the weight of vehicles. The most effective way to reduce a vehicle weight is to use lighter materials, such as aluminum and plastics. Aluminum Intensive Vehicle(AIV) has many advantages in the aspects of weight reduction, body stiffness and model change. So, most of automotive manufacturers are attempting to develop AIV using Aluminum Space Frame(ASF). The weight of AIV can be generally reduced to about 30% than that of conventional steel vehicle without the loss of impact energy absorbing capability. And the body stiffness of AIV is higher than that of conventional steel monocoque body. In this study, Aluminum Intensive Vehicle is developed and analyzed on the basis of steel monocoque body. The energy absorbing characteristics of aluminum extrusion components are investigated from the test and simulation results. The crush and crash characteristics of AIV based on the FMVSS 208 regulations are evaluated in comparison with steel monocoque. Using these results, the design concepts of the effective energy absorbing members and the design guide line to improve crashworthiness for AIV are suggested.

In this study, in order to measure energy-absorbing charactistics in collapse test of CFRP thin-walled laminates and interpretate the cause of decreasing age when collapse test is carried out under the environments of high temperatures and hygrothermals, the moisture absorbing behavior according to the variety of orientation angel is observed and collapse characteristics is compared with the influence of high temperatures and hygrothermals. Especially, we supposed to clearly understand reationship between collapse characteristics in proportion to the variety of orientation angel and moisture absorbing. The value of the maximum loading, mean loading,rate of energy absorption energy per unit volume and mass in CFRP thin-walled laminates on the high temperatures and hygrothermals is measured lower than under no moisture absorbing. The maximum collapse loading in dynamic impact test is taken measurement lower than in static collapse test regarding compared with collapse characteristics conformity with the variety of the CFRP circular laminates in high temperatures and hygrothermals. But the absorbed energy per unit mass and volume is almost same and the biggest amount of energy is shown in the CFRP circular laminates with orientation angel of 15 .deg.. Therefore, in the case of use to CFRP circular laminates with axisymmetric mode, CFRP thin-walled structal members with orientation angel of 10 .deg. , 15 . deg. are generally useful.

The Passive acoustic control is used in various fields, such as structures, automobiles, aircraft and so on. It is used in variety of acoustic field with the absorbing material, as one of the methods which can control the acoustic in optional space. In that case of passive control using this absorption material, it would be important to maximize the control performance of material property, numbers, geometry shape and the attached location of boundary area of the absorbing material. But realistically these variables, specially material Property, have no broad choice. Therefore, the position of absorbing material is the most important variable. In this study, we use the optimization method to minimize acoustic energy of optional space in the interest frequency attaching some absorbing materials to the boundary area. For analysis and optimization, this study uses the FEA and the conjugate gradient method. This optimization process is very efficient and useful in the passive acoustic control.

Recently, while rockfall occurs very frequently, a lot of researches on the rockfall protection fence Is in process. But the rockfall protection fence has been installed unrelated to slope characteristics, rockfall shape and rockfall height. Therefore, in this study we suggested the effective protection fence model considering about rockfall energy and energy absorbing capacity and we verified the model by field test. According to these results, it is more reasonable to evaluate rockfall energy based on the results of simulation program, which can be consider effects of energy decrease, than use the simplified method proposed by Japanese road association. And rockfall energy is affected by the size of supports and wire rope and the space of supports. As the results of comparing rockfall energy with energy absorbing capacity, type$\circled1$(the space of supports is changed to 3.0m)can be available for generally expected rockfall except the rock slope over 30m heights. But rockfall protection fence installed at the field, it should be partially reinforced after consideration of slope particularities and construction conditions.

One of the best methods to evaluate crashworthiness of a full rake trainset is to analyse 1-dimensional dynamic model using dampers, nonlinear springs and bars, and masses. In this study, the crashworthiness of KHST has been evaluated by analysing a nonlinear dynamic model made up of springs/bars-dampers-masses. The numerical results show that the KHST can absorb more kinetic energy at lower impact forces and lower accelerations in case of heavy collisions, if compared with KTX. Also, the KHST can be protected from any damage in its car-body and electric components except the energy absorbing tube in case of light collisions, like train-to-train accidents at speed under 8 kph. On the other hand, the KTX may be more damaged in the light collisions because there is no energy absorbing tube.
