  • 본 논문에서는 아이소-지오메트릭 해석법을 이용하여 고주파수를 가지는 파워흐름 문제에 대하여 연속체 기반 형상 최적 설계를 수행하였다. 아이소-지오메트릭 기법을 형상 최적설계에 적용하면, CAD 기하 모델링에서 쓰이던 NURBS 기저 함수가 직접 쓸 수 있기에 정확한 기하학 정보가 수치계산에서 고려되고, 이에 따라 형상 최적설계 관점에서 볼 때, 전통적인 유한요소법에 비해 향상되고 부드러운 설계 섭동량을 가지는 설계 매개화가 가능하게 된다. 즉, 정확한 기하 모델이 응답 해석과 설계민감도 해석에 쓰이게 되고, 이에 따라 설계영역 전체에서 법선 벡터와 곡률이 연속적으로 되게 된다. 결과적으로 정밀한 민감도 해석이 가능하게 된다. 몇 가지 수치예제를 통하여 개발된 아이소-지오메트릭 설계민감도가 유한차분 설계민감도와 비교하여 정확성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 형상 최적설계 문제를 통해서 본 방법론을 적용하여 검증하였다.

  • 소형 SCR 시스템(처리용량 25,300 Sm3/hr, 내부용적 $2.4{\times}2.4{\times}3.1\;m^3$)의 촉매성능개선을 목적으로 배기가스 유동제어에 관한 수치 해석적 연구가 수행되었다. 유동제어를 위해 여러 형태의 배플이 제안되었으며 CFD 해석을 통해 최적의 배플형상을 결정하였다. 유동 균일화를 위해서 설치된 배플의 유무에 따라 본 연구의 SCR 시스템에서의 촉매층 전단 5 mm에서 유속에 대한 RMS(%) 값은 약 6.2%의 차이를 보였다. 수치해석에 의해 결정된 격자 형상의 배플에서 사용된 배플판의 두께범위가 0~8 mm에서는 RMS(%) 값의 변화가 없었으나 두께 10 mm가 되면 2.5% 가량 수치가 증가하여 유동에 영향을 주었다. 격자 형상의 배플은 원뿔대 형상, 믹서 형상 배플에 비해 상대적으로 높은 유동안정도를 나타내며 형상에 따라 RMS(%) 값은 10% 이상의 차이를 나타내었다.

  • Dynamic conformal arc therapy (DCAT) and flattening-filter-free (FFF) beams are commonly adopted for efficient conformal dose delivery in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Off-axis geometry (OAG) may be necessary to obtain full gantry rotation without collision, which has been shown to be beneficial for peripheral targets using flattened beams. In this study dose distributions in OAG using FFF were evaluated and the effect of mechanical rotation induced uncertainty was investigated. For the lateral target, OAG evaluation, sphere targets (2, 4, and 6 cm diameter) were placed at three locations (central axis, 3 cm off-axis, and 6 cm off-axis) in a representative patient CT set. For each target, DCAT plans under the same objective were obtained for 6X, 6FFF, 10X, and 10FFF. The parameters used to evaluate the quality of the plans were homogeneity index (HI), conformality indices (CI), and beam on time (BOT). Next, the mechanical rotation induced uncertainty was evaluated using five SBRT patient plans that were randomly selected from a group of patients with laterally located tumors. For each of the five cases, a plan was generated using OAG and CAG with the same prescription and coverage. Each was replanned to account for one degree collimator/couch rotation errors during delivery. Prescription isodose coverage, CI, and lung dose were evaluated. HI and CI values for the lateral target, OAG evaluation were similar for flattened and unflattened beams; however, 6FFF provided slightly better values than 10FFF in OAG. For all plans the HI and CI were acceptable with the maximum difference between flattened and unflattend beams being 0.1. FFF beams showed better conformality than flattened beams for low doses and small targets. Variation due to rotational error for isodose coverage, CI, and lung dose was generally smaller for CAG compared to OAG, with some of these comparisons reaching statistical significance. However, the variations in dose distributions for either treatment technique were small and may not be clinically significant. FFF beams showed acceptable dose distributions in OAG. Although 10FFF provides more dramatic BOT reduction, it generally provides less favorable dosimetric indices compared to 6FFF in OAG. Mechanical uncertainty in collimator and couch rotation had an increased effect for OAG compared to CAG; however, the variations in dose distributions for either treatment technique were minimal.

  • A venturi scrubber is an important element of Filtered Containment Venting System (FCVS) for the removal of aerosols in contaminated air. The present work involves computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study of dust particle removal efficiency of a venturi scrubber operating in self-priming mode using ANSYS CFX. Titanium oxide ($TiO_2$) particles having sizes of 1 micron have been taken as dust particles. CFD methodology to simulate the venturi scrubber has been first developed. The cascade atomization and breakup (CAB) model has been used to predict deformation of water droplets, whereas the Eulerian-Lagrangian approach has been used to handle multiphase flow involving air, dust, and water. The developed methodology has been applied to simulate venturi scrubber geometry taken from the literature. Dust particle removal efficiency has been calculated for forced feed operation of venturi scrubber and found to be in good agreement with the results available in the literature. In the second part, venturi scrubber along with a tank has been modeled in CFX, and transient simulations have been performed to study self-priming phenomenon. Self-priming has been observed by plotting the velocity vector fields of water. Suction of water in the venturi scrubber occurred due to the difference between static pressure in the venturi scrubber and the hydrostatic pressure of water inside the tank. Dust particle removal efficiency has been calculated for inlet air velocities of 1 m/s and 3 m/s. It has been observed that removal efficiency is higher in case of higher inlet air velocity.

  • 가습 소자를 이용한 증발식 가습은 건물이나 데이터 센터의 공조에 널리 사용되고 있다. 가습 소자의 성능은 가습 효율로 나타내는데 이 효율은 공기의 온습도나 물 온도에 무관하게 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 데이터 센터와 건물 공조의 두 공기 조건에 대하여 셀룰로오스/PET, Glasdek의 두 소자를 사용하여 전벙 풍속과 물 온도를 변화시키며 일련의 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 측정된 가습 효율은 공기 조건과 물 온도에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 심지어 건물 조건에서는 소자의 입구부에서 감습이 나타나기도 하였는데 그 이유는 공급수 온도가 입구 공기의 노점온도보다 낮았기 때문이었다. 건물 조건에서는 공급수 온도와 공기의 노점 온도 차이가 증가할수록 가습 효율은 감소하였다. 이로부터 가습 효율 모델을 적절히 세우려면 길이 방향으로 수분 전달량이 변화하는 입구 영역에 대한 해석이 중요하다고 판단된다. 셀룰로오스/PET 소자에 대하여 성능 해석을 수행한 결과 Sherwood 수는 적절히 예측하였으나 마찰 손실은 과대 예측하였다. 이는 해석시 채널 형상을 단순한 삼각형으로 가정하고 소자 표면에 형성된 액막의 영향을 무시한 때문으로 판단된다.

  • 섬유 금속 적층판(Fiber metal hybrid laminate, FML)은 금속재료와 FRP의 접합으로 기존의 금속 소재가 가지지 못했던 뛰어난 물성과 가벼운 무게로 경제적인 구조용 재료로 사용된다. 그러나 섬유의 형태와 종류, 적층조건에 따라 물성의 차이가 크며, 파괴거동을 예측하기 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Al6061-T6 합금에 직조형태의 유리섬유 플라스틱(GFRP, GEP118)을 적층피막한 복합재의 파손거동에 대해 연구한다. Al합금에 GFRP 1, 3, 5 겹을 피막한 3가지 조건으로 성형하고, 피막의 적층수를 변수로 정적시험과 저주기 피로시험을 병행하여 파손거동을 분석하였다. 저주기 피로시험에서는 변형률-수명 해석, 전변형률 에너지밀도법을 사용하여 분석하고, 피로수명을 예측하여 하이브리드 재료에 대한 수명예측성을 분석하였다. 인장해석 결과, GFRP 피막으로 인한 강화효과는 없었고, 피로시험시 나타나는 히스테리시스 형상은 GFRP피막 유무와 피막 수에 상관없이 모재인 Al합금의 거동을 따랐다. 저주기 피로시험 결과 GFRP의 피막으로 피로강도가 증가하였지만, GFRP의 두께에 따라 비례하여 증가하지는 않았다.

  • Purpose: A full-energy-peak (FEP) efficiency correction is required through a Monte Carlo simulation for accurate radioactivity measurement, considering the geometrical characteristics of the detector and the sample. However, a relative deviation (RD) occurs between the measurement and calculation efficiencies when modeling using the data provided by the manufacturers due to the randomly generated dead layer. This study aims to optimize the structure of the detector by determining the dead layer thickness based on Monte Carlo simulation. Methods: The high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector used in this study was a coaxial p-type GC2518 model, and a certified reference material (CRM) was used to measure the FEP efficiency. Using the MC N-Particle Transport Code (MCNP) code, the FEP efficiency was calculated by increasing the thickness of the outer and inner dead layer in proportion to the thickness of the electrode. Results: As the thickness of the outer and inner dead layer increased by 0.1 mm and 0.1 ㎛, the efficiency difference decreased by 2.43% on average up to 1.0 mm and 1.0 ㎛ and increased by 1.86% thereafter. Therefore, the structure of the detector was optimized by determining 1.0 mm and 1.0 ㎛ as thickness of the dead layer. Conclusions: The effect of the dead layer on the FEP efficiency was evaluated, and an excellent agreement between the measured and calculated efficiencies was confirmed with RDs of less than 4%. It suggests that the optimized HPGe detector can be used to measure the accurate radioactivity using in dismantling and disposing medical linear accelerators.

  • Background: The thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) and Monte Carlo (MC) dosimetry are carried out to determine the occupational dose for personnel in the handling of 125I seed sources. Materials and Methods: TLDs were placed in different layers of the Alderson-Rando phantom in the thyroid, lung and also eyes and skin surface. An 125I seed source was prepared and its activity was measured using a dose calibrator and was placed at two distances of 20 and 50 cm from the Alderson-Rando phantom. In addition, the Monte Carlo N-Particle Extended (MCNPX 2.6.0) code and a computational phantom with a lattice-based geometry were used for organ dose calculations. Results and Discussion: The comparison of TLD and MC results in the thyroid and lung is consistent. Although the relative difference of MC dosimetry to TLD for the eyes was between 4% and 13% and for the skin between 19% and 23%, because of the existence of a higher uncertainty regarding TLD positioning in the eye and skin, these inaccuracies can also be acceptable. The isodose distribution was calculated in the cross-section of the head phantom when the 125I seed was at two distances of 20 and 50 cm and it showed that the greatest dose reduction was observed for the eyes, skin, thyroid, and lungs, respectively. The results of MC dosimetry indicated that for near the head positions (distance of 20 cm) the absorbed dose rates for the eye lens, eye and skin were 78.1±2.3, 59.0±1.8, and 10.7±0.7 µGy/mCi/hr, respectively. Furthermore, we found that a 30 cm displacement for the 125I seed reduced the eye and skin doses by at least 3- and 2-fold, respectively. Conclusion: Using a computational phantom to monitor the dose to the sensitive organs (eye and skin) for personnel involved in the handling of 125I seed sources can be an accurate and inexpensive method.

  • The copper ion, Cu(II), binding sites for amyloid fragment Aβ1-16 (=Aβ16 ) were investigated to explain the biological activity difference in the Aβ16 aggregation process. The [M+Cu+(z-2)H]z+ (z = 2, 3 and 4, M = Aβ16 monomer) and [D+Cu+(z-2)H]z+ (z = 3 and 5, D = Aβ16 dimer) structures were investigated using electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Fragment ions of the [M+Cu+(z-2)H]z+ and [D+Cu+(z-2)H]z+ complexes were observed using collision-induced dissociation MS/MS. Three different fragmentation patterns (fragment "a", "b", and "y" ion series) were observed in the MS/MS spectrum of the (Aβ16 monomer or dimer-Cu) complex, with the "b" and "y" ion series regularly observed. The "a" ion series was not observed in the MS/MS spectrum of the [M+Cu+2H]4+ complex. In the non-covalent bond dissociation process, the [D+Cu+3H]5+ complex separated into three components ([M+Cu+H]3+, M3+, and M2+), and the [M+Cu]2+ subunit was not observed. The {M + fragment ion of [M+Cu+H]3+} fragmentation pattern was observed during the covalent bond dissociation of the [D+Cu +3H]5+ complex. The {M + [M+Cu+H]3+} complex geometry was assumed to be stable in the [D+Cu+3H]5+ complex. The {M + fragment ion of [M+Cu]2+} fragmentation pattern was also observed in the MS/MS spectrum of the [D+Cu+H]3+ complex. The {M + [y9+Cu]1+} fragment ion was the characteristic fragment ion. The [D+Cu+H]3+ and [D+Cu+3H]5+ complexes were likely to form a monomer-monomer-Cu (M-M-Cu) structure instead of a monomer-Cu-monomer (M-Cu-M) structure.
