Check valves used in vessels include shock-release function on piping system, aside from basic back flow prevention. However, proper and enough protection of system is not obtainable due to use of high-pressure and bulk fluids, resulting from enlargement of vessels. In this study, casting analysis of check valves protecting systems in flow path from water hammering or back flow is conducted, using Z-CAST program. Also, molten metal filling, flow analysis, solidification analysis and shrinkage cavity analysis are conducted. The main results are as following. Regarding filling of each risering, molten metal showed stable supply condition without being isolated. It was identified that the final solidification exists on risering, but shrinkage cavity possibly might happens at the point of isolation solidification.

1669년 이민철(李敏哲, 1631~1715)은 천문시계를 제작하였다. 이민철의 천문시계는 2단의 수호(水壺)와 부차(浮車), 수차로 구성된 수격식 동력시스템에 의해 작동된다. 이 중 부차는 2단의 수호 중 아래쪽 단에 위치한 소호(小壺) 안에 설치되어 있다. 위쪽 단에 위치한 수호로부터 아래쪽 단에 위치한 소호로 물이 차면 부차가 떠오른다. 부력에 의해 떠오른 부차는 수차를 회전시킨다. 수차로부터 발생된 동력은 기륜을 통해 전달되어 태양운행장치와 달운행장치, 시보장치를 작동시켜 시간을 알려준다. 이민철 천문시계의 수격식 동력시스템은 부력으로 부차를 움직여 수차가 일정하게 회전도록 하였다. 이와 같이 수차운행에서 부력을 활용하는 방식은 조선 중기에 제작된 천문시계에서만 적용된 방식이다. 우리는 이민철 천문시계의 수격식 동력시스템에 관한 연구를 수행하여 전체적인 형태과 작동메커니즘에 대해 추정하였다. 아울러 연구 결과를 바탕으로 개념설계를 진행하였다.

In recent years, the piping vibration in many Power Plants is being increased by the aged generating facilities due to a long time use. Generally, the pressure fluctuations associated with the flow-induced excitations in this case are broadband in nature. Mainly, the dominant sources of vibration are a vortex-shedding, plane waves and boundary layer turbulence. The peak level of the spectrum is proportional to the dynamic head. A severe disturbance in pipeline results in the generation of intense broadband internal sound waves which can propagate through the piping system. The characteristic frequencies of operating loads of 20%, 57%, 70%, 100% are 4 - 6 Hz and coincide with the results from impact hammering test and FEM analysis. We chose the wire energy absorbing rope restraint as a vibration reduction method after reviewing the various conditions such as site, installing space and economic cost etc. After installation, the vibration level was reduced about 54% in velocity.

The aim of the work described in this paper is to develop a complex underground acoustic system which detects and localizes the origin of an underground hammering sound using an array of hydrophones located about 100m underground. Three different methods for the sound localization will be presented, a time-delay method, a power-attenuation method and a hybrid method. In the time-delay method, the cross correlation of the signals received from the array of sensors is used to calculate the time delays between those signals. In the power-attenuation method, the powers of the received signals provide a measure of the distances of the source from the sensors. In the hybrid method, both informations of time-delays and power-ratios are coupled together to produce better performance of position estimation. A new acoustic imaging technique has been developed for improving the hybrid method. This new acoustic imaging method shows the multi-dimensional distribution of the normalized cost function, so as to indicate the trend of the minimizing direction toward the source location. For each method the sound localization is carried out in three dimensions underground. The distance between the true and estimated origins of the source is 28m for a search area of radius 250m.

In this paper, we proposed an air bearing stage with active magnetic preloads in vertical directions compensating motion errors and attenuating vibrations to improve dynamic characteristics. This preloaded design gives simpler configuration of the stage, and active control of preload can be used for compensating motion errors by feedforward method. To improve dynamic characteristics, vibration of the table is monitored by an accelerometer, and controlled by a DSP based digital controller with integrator and band pass filters for suppressing roll and pitch vibration modes. The modes were evaluated by measuring frequency response functions, and compared with compensated responses. This showed effective results for suppressing poorly damped regenerative vibration of air bearings.

A pile is a structural element that is used to transfer external loads from superstructures and has been widely utilized in construction fields all over the world. The method of installing a pile into the ground should be selected based on geotechnical conditions, location, site status, environmental factors, and construction costs, among others. It can be divided into two types: direct hammering and preboring. The direct hammering method installs a pile into the bearing layer, such as rock, using a few types of hammer, generating a considerable amount of pile driving-induced vibration. The vibration from pile driving influences adjacent structures and the ground; therefore, quantitatively investigating the effects of vibration is inevitably required. In this study, two-dimensional dynamic numerical modeling and analysis are performed using the finite difference method to investigate the influence on the adjacent slope, including temporary supporting system. Time-dependent loading induced by pile driving is estimated and used in the numerical analysis. Consequently, large surface displacement is estimated due to surface waves and less wave deflection, and refraction at the surface. The total displacement decreases with the increase of the distance from the source. However, lateral displacement at the top of the slope shows a larger value than vertical displacement, and the overall displacement tends to be concentrated near the face of the slope.

This paper presents a new approach to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) for local seismic disaster preventing system in densely populated area. The seismic data measured in the local site includes various sensing noises (offset or measurement noise) and man-made/natural noises (road and rail traffic noise, rotating or hammering machinery noise, human activity noise such as walking and running, wind/atmospheric pressure-generated noise, etc.). These additive noises are different in time and frequency characters. The proposed method uses 3-stages processing to reduce these different additive noises. In the first stage, misalignment offset noise are diminished by time average processing, and then the second and third stages, coherent/incoherent noises such as man-made/natural noises are suppressed by array stacking. In addition, we derived the theoretical equation of the SNR gain improved by the proposed method. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, computer simulations were performed with real seismic data and test equipment generated data as the input.
