  • Passive auto-catalytic recombiners (PARs) are widely used to mitigate a hydrogen hazard. The first step to evaluate the hydrogen safety by PARs is to obtain qualified test data of the PARs for validation of their analytical model. SPARC PAR tests SP8 and SP9 were conducted to evaluate the hydrogen recombination characteristics of a honeycomb-shaped catalyst PAR. To obtain the hydrogen recombination rate from the PAR test data, two methods, Method-1 and Method-2, introduced by the THAI project, were applied. Since a large gradient of hydrogen concentration developed during hydrogen injection can cause a large error in the hydrogen mass obtained by integrating the measured hydrogen concentrations, a gate was installed at the PAR inlet to homogenize hydrogen in the test vessel before the PAR operation in the tests. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code with a PAR model was also applied to evaluate the characteristics of the PAR recombination according to the PAR inlet conditions, and the results were compared with those from Method-1 and Method-2. It was confirmed that the recombination rates from Method-1 require a correction factor to be compatible with results from Method-2 and the CFD simulation in the case of the SPARC-PAR tests.

  • 중규모 기상모형을 이용하여 기상장에서의 지형적 특성의 효과가 연구되었다. 본 연구에서는 지형의 경사를 고려한 조도각을 이용하여 지표면의 지형 특성이 직달 복사량에 미치는 효과를 계산하고, 이것이 중규모 기상장에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 기상 조건에 따른 직달 복사량의 변화를 고려하기 위해, 고기압의 영향을 받은 날과 저기압의 영향을 받은 흐린 날을 선택하여 두 사례에 대한 실험 결과를 나타내었다. 직달 복사량의 보정에 대한 두 사례의 실험 결과, 지형 경사가 급한 태백산맥과 소백산맥에서 직달 복사량의 뚜렷한 차이가 나타났다. 또한 이러한 결과의 시계열 분석을 살펴보면, 산맥의 동쪽 사면에서의 직달 복사량이 오후보다 오전에 약 $10-60W/m^2$ 더 크게 나타나는 반면, 서쪽 사면에서는 그 반대 경향이 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 맑은 날의 경우 더욱 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 같은 방법으로 지표면 온도의 변화를 살펴본 결과, 맑은 날의 경우 지표면 온도는 전 시간에 걸쳐 양 사면에서 더 높게 나와 관측 값에 더욱 근접한 값을 보였다. 흐리고 비가 왔던 날의 경우, 지표면 온도는 오전에는 동쪽 사면에서 더 높은 값을 보였고 오후에는 더 낮은 온도를 보였다. 반면, 서쪽 사면에서의 지표면 온도는 전 시간에 걸쳐 높은 값을 나타냈다. 이 두 사례의 경우, 지표면의 경사를 고려한 경우의 지표면 온도가 수평 지표면을 고려했을 때보다 대개 높게 나타남을 볼 수 있다. 바람장을 살펴보면, 태백산맥과 소백산맥 주위에서 강한 바람이 모사되는데, 이러한 결과는 지형의 기울기를 고려해 줌으로써 수평면을 고려했을 때 보다 온도 경도가 증가되고, 이에 따라 기압 경도력이 강화되기 때문이다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of paper is to implement software to visualize brain fiber tract using a 24-bit color coding scheme and to test its feasibility. Materials and Methods: MR imaging was performed on GE 1.5 T Signa scanner. For diffusion tensor image, we used a single shot spin-echo EPI sequence with 7 non-colinear pulsed-field gradient directions: (x, y, z):(1,1,0),(-1,1,0),(1,0,1),(-1,0,1),(0,1,1),(0,1,-1) and without diffusion gradient. B-factor was 500 sec/$\textrm{mm}^2$. Acquisition parameters are as follows: TUTE=10000ms/99ms, FOV=240mm, matrix=128${\times}$128, slice thickness/gap=6mm/0mm, total slice number=30. Subjects consisted of 10 normal young volunteers (age:21∼26 yrs, 5 men, 5 women). All DTI images were smoothed with Gaussian kernel with the FWHM of 2 pixels. Color coding schemes for visualization of directional information was as follows. HSV(Hue, Saturation, Value) color system is appropriate for assigning RGB(Red, Green, and Blue) value for every different directions because of its volumetric directional expression. Each of HSV are assigned due to (r,$\theta$,${\Phi}$) in spherical coordinate. HSV calculated by this way can be transformed into RGB color system by general HSV to RGB conversion formula. Symmetry schemes: It is natural to code the antipodal direction to be same color(antipodal symmetry). So even with no symmetry scheme, the antipodal symmetry must be included. With no symmetry scheme, we can assign every different colors for every different orientation.(H =${\Phi}$, S=2$\theta$/$\pi$, V=λw, where λw is anisotropy). But that may assign very discontinuous color even between adjacent yokels. On the other hand, Full symmetry or absolute value scheme includes symmetry for 180$^{\circ}$ rotation about xy-plane of color coordinate (rotational symmetry) and for both hemisphere (mirror symmetry). In absolute value scheme, each of RGB value can be expressed as follows. R=λw|Vx|, G=λw|Vy|, B=λw|Vz|, where (Vx, Vy, Vz) is eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue of diffusion tensor. With applying full symmetry or absolute value scheme, we can get more continuous color coding at the expense of coding same color for symmetric direction. For better visualization of fiber tract directions, Gamma and brightness correction had done. All of these implementations were done on the IDL 5.4 platform.

  • 이 연구에서는 하중비전달형 필렛용접부를 대상으로 순수휨상태에서 TIG 처리에 따른 피로강도 향상정도 및 피로특성을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해서 4점 휨실험을 실시하였다. 피로실험결과 용접후처리를 실시하지 않은 시험체는 국내 외에서 규정하는 피로강도등급을 만족하고 있고 TIG 처리한 시험체는 용접후처리를 실시하지 않은 시험체보다 $2{\times}106$회 피로강도가 상회하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 비치마크실험결과 피로균열은 용접지단부의 비드접선각도 및 곡률반경이 최소로 되는 점에서 다발적으로 발생하며, 반타원형 균열로 성장, 합체되어 파단에 이르는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 유한요소해석결과 용접지단부의 응력집중계수는 용접지단부의 비드접선각도 및 곡률반경과 밀접한 관계가 있으며, 이 중에서 곡률반경이 용접지단부의 응력집중계수에 보다 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 한편 파괴역학적 해석결과 a/t가 0.4 이하인 경우에 기하학적형상보정계수가 균열보정계수에 가장 지배적인 영향을 미치는 인자임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 유한요소해석결과로부터 산정한 응력확대계수범위와 피로균열성장속도의 관계식으로부터 피로수명을 비교적 정확하게 산정할 수 있었다.

  • 본 시험은 배양액 내 pH 변화에 따른 이온과 EC의 모형을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 배양액 내 $HPO_4{^{-2}}$$H_2PO_4{^-}$의 변량에 따른 pH가 변하는데, pH 4.0-5.0은 EC의 변량이 상승하고, pH 5.0-7.0은 EC의 변량이 완만하고, pH 7.0-8.0은 다시 상승하였다. 배양액 내 다량원소의 변량을 보면, pH가 상승할수록 K, Ca, N, P의 이온 농도도 증가하는데, 특히 K과 P의 변량이 크게 나타났다. 반면 Mg와 S의 변량은 일정하게 유지되었다. 배양액의 IBM(ion balance model)에 따른 분석에서, EC의 변량은 크게 변하지 않고, 이온의 균형점이 a분면에서 d분면으로 이동하면 pH가 상승하면서 음이온 보다 양이온이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 pH 변량이 높을수록 EC 중앙선으로부터 멀어져 배양액의 이온 불균형이 증가되었다. $HPO_4{^{-2}}$$H_2PO_4{^-}$의 변량에 대한 K와 Ca의 당량비 보정은 pH가 증가할수록 K는 감소하지만 Ca는 증가하였고, EC 변량의 영향보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. K와 Ca의 당량비 보정에 따른 pH 변량은 0.97의 이차 다항식 상관모형을 나타냈다. 본 연구를 통해 인산염의 구배에 따른 pH, 이온, EC의 변량에 대하여 pH 변량 모형이 구명되었다.

  • Purpose: To compare three, motion-resistant, T1-weighted MR sequences on the hepatobiliary phase for gadoxetic acid-enhanced MR imaging of the liver. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 79 patients underwent gadoxetic acid-enhanced, 3T liver MR imaging. Fifty-nine were examined using a standard protocol, and 20 were examined using a motion-resistant protocol. During the hepatocyte-specific phase, three MR sequences were acquired: 1) gradient recalled echo (GRE) with controlled aliasing in parallel imaging results in higher acceleration (CAIPIRINHA); 2) radial GRE with the interleaved angle-bisection scheme (ILAB); and 3) radial GRE with golden-angle scheme (GA). Two readers independently assessed images with motion artifacts, streaking artifacts, liver-edge sharpness, hepatic vessel clarity, lesion conspicuity, and overall image quality, using a 5-point scale. The images were assessed by measurement of liver signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and tumor-to-liver contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). The results were compared, using repeated post-hoc, paired t-tests with Bonferroni correction and the Wilcoxon signed rank test with Bonferroni correction. Results: In the qualitative analysis of cooperative patients, the results for CAIPIRINHA had significantly higher ratings for streak artifacts, liver-edge sharpness, hepatic vessel clarity, and overall image quality as compared to, radial GRE, (P < 0.016). In the imaging of uncooperative patients, higher scores were recorded for ILAB and GA with respect to all of the qualitative assessments, except for streak artifact, compared with CAIPIRINHA (P < 0.016). However, no significant differences were found between ILAB and GA. For quantitative analysis in uncooperative patients, the mean liver SNR and lesion-to-liver CNR with radial GRE were significantly higher than those of CAIPIRINHA (P < 0.016). Conclusion: In uncooperative patients, the use of the radial GRE sequence can improve the image quality compared to GRE imaging with CAIPIRINHA, despite the data acquisition methods used. The GRE imaging with CAIPIRINHA is applicable for patients without breath-holding difficulties.

  • In this paper, size dependent bending and free flexural vibration behaviors of functionally graded (FG) nanobeams are investigated using a nonlocal quasi-3D theory in which both shear deformation and thickness stretching effects are introduced. The nonlocal elastic behavior is described by the differential constitutive model of Eringen, which enables the present model to become effective in the analysis and design of nanostructures. The present theory incorporates the length scale parameter (nonlocal parameter) which can capture the small scale effect, and furthermore accounts for both shear deformation and thickness stretching effects by virtue of a hyperbolic variation of all displacements through the thickness without using shear correction factor. The material properties of FG nanobeams are assumed to vary through the thickness according to a power law. The neutral surface position for such FG nanobeams is determined and the present theory based on exact neutral surface position is employed here. The governing equations are derived using the principal of minimum total potential energy. The effects of nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio and various material compositions on the static and dynamic responses of the FG nanobeam are discussed in detail. A detailed numerical study is carried out to examine the effect of material gradient index, the nonlocal parameter, the beam aspect ratio on the global response of the FG nanobeam. These findings are important in mechanical design considerations of devices that use carbon nanotubes.
