The performance of the Type3 hydrogen composite cylinder whose pressure is 70 MPa using hydrostatic cycling test equipment was evaluted in this study. It also includes the finite element method analysis on the performance of the cylinder when the pressure is applied. As a result, cylinder body parts of the Type3 hydrogen composite cylinder, which draws attention with its safe status and the lightness, was ruptured first and the same result has been found out through the finite element method. The dome knuckle and the cylinder body were proved as the weakest parts since the cylinder body parts was expanded under the pressure.

This research aims to increase the reliability and reproducibility of the ambient cycling test by properly making corrections to the test procedure. The vessel (106 L) is initially filled with 70 L of water and horizontally placed on a balance. The pressure range inside the vessel varies from 2.5 to 25.9 MPa at the frequency of 6 cycles per minute. After reviewing the results, there was a temperature difference of approximately $10^{\circ}C$ between the air pocket and the water, and the upper part of the liner faced a repeated temperature change of $40^{\circ}C$. It is possible for the aluminum liner of the composite vessel to be damaged by such a sharp change in temperature. Additionally, as a result, no pass having anything to do with the purpose of the test would occur. Therefore, it is suggested that the air pocket be completely removed.

지구 온난화의 원인이 되는 이산화탄소를 저감하며 유해한 배기가스를 배출하지 않는 수소연료전지자동차(FCV)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 한국가스안전공사에서 현재 구축하고 있는 평가장비는 이러한 수소연료전지자동차용으로 사용되는 고압용기의 수압반복시험 및 밸브류로 구성된 고압수소저장시스템의 단품 및 시스템 평가를 통한 안전신뢰성 검증을 목적으로 하고 있다. 현재 수소연료전지자동차는 차량이나 부품의 시험 방법에 대한 통일된 기준/표준/시험법이 아직 완전하게 정비되어 있지 않고, 시장에서의 도입 제도, 기준 등이 만들어지고 있는 현실이다. 또한 연료로 수소를 사용하는 도입단계에 있기 때문에, 수소용기가 반복압력변동에 따라 어떤 거동을 나타내는지에 대한 실험관련 연구가 미진한 상태이다. 따라서 수소연료전지자동차용 고압수소저장시스템에 대한 내구성, 안전성 확보를 위하여 수소연료전지자동차에서 중요한 부품인 용기에 대한 반복피로시험이 필요하다. 특히 복합재 용기 분야에서 Type3용기에 대한 높은 안전성과 내구성이 보고되고 있지만 실질적으로 얼마나 다른 용기에 비해 높은 성능을 가지고 있는지 국내에서는 체계적으로 검증된바 없다. 따라서 구축된 수압반복 장비를 이용하여 Type3 용기에 대한 수압반복시험을 실시하였으며, 이를 통해 수소용기의 거동을 확인하고자 한다.

This study is to investigate the problem of the SPM(Skin Pass Mil7) system which is a finishing treatment of steel sheet. and to develop a PID control scheme to minimize process instability. An electrohydraulic servo system with conventional proportional controller used to regulate the force on the strip works inadequately to yield very undesirable transient responses at the moments welding parts of the strip conte into and pass through the rolls. Both linearized and nonlinear models of a typical SPM system ware simulated first by using Simulink. Then Ziegler-Nichols ultimate cycling method was used for an initial reference guide to tune PID gains, and further fine tuning was performed to get desirable response. The test result in the plant show that proposed PID control scheme successfully improves the process instability in a SPM system.

The Fuel Test Loop(FTL) which is capable of an irradiation testing under a similar operating condition to those of PWR(Pressurized Water Reactor) and CANDU(CANadian Deuterium Uranium reactor) nuclear power plants has been developed and installed in HANARO, KAERI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute). It consists of In-Pile Section(IPS) and Out-of Pile System(OPS). The IPS, which is located inside the pool is divided into 3-parts; the in-pool pipes, the IVA(IPS Vessel Assembly) and the support structures. The test fuel is loaded inside a double wall, inner pressure vessel and outer pressure vessel, to keep the functionality of the reactor coolant pressure boundary. The IVA is manufactured by local company and the functional test and verification were done through pressure drop, vibration, hydraulic and leakage tests. The brazing technique for the instrument lines has been checked for its functionality and performance. An IVA has been manufactured by local technique and have finally tested under high temperature and high pressure. The IVA and piping did not experience leakage, as we have checked the piping, flanges, assembly parts. We have obtained good data during the three cycle test which includes a pressure test, pressure and temperature cycling, and constant temperature.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the stability of prosthetic screws from three types of craniofacial prostheses retention systems (bar-clip, ball/O-ring, and magnet) when submitted to mechanical cycling. Materials and Methods: Twelve models of acrylic resin were used with implants placed 20 mm from each other and separated into three groups: (1) bar-clip (Sistema INP, São Paulo, Brazil), (2) ball/O-ring (Sistema INP), and (3) magnet (Metalmag, São Paulo, Brazil), with four samples in each group. Each sample underwent a mechanical cycling removal and insertion test (f=0.5 Hz) to determine the torque and the detorque values of the retention screws. A servo-hydraulic MTS machine (810-Flextest 40; MTS Systems, Eden Prairie, MN, USA) was used to perform the cycling with 2.5 mm and a displacement of 10 mm/s. The screws of the retention systems received an initial torque of 30 Ncm and the torque values required for loosening the screw values were obtained in three cycles (1,080, 2,160, and 3,240). The screws were retorqued to 30 Ncm before each new cycle. Results: The sample was composed of 24 screws grouped as follows: bar-clip (n=8), ball/O-ring (n=8), and magnet (n=8). There were significant differences between the groups, with greater detorque values observed in the ball/O-ring group when compared to the bar-clip and magnet groups for the first cycle. However, the detorque value was greater in the bar-clip group for the second cycle. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that all prosthetic screws will loosen slightly after an initial tightening torque, also the bar-clip retention system demonstrated greater loosening of the screws when compared with ball/O-ring and magnet retention systems.

The capacity of natural purification was limited by the interruption of natural flow and the problems such as eutrophication were occurred by nutritive salts accumulation in stagnant stream. Moreover, the inflow of non-point sources causes non-degradable materials to increase in stagnant stream. In this study, an upflow biological activated carbon (BAC) biofilm process comprised of anoxic, aerobic 1, and aerobic 2 reactors were introduced for treatment of stagnant stream and SS, $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$, $COD_{Cr}$, TN, and TP were monitored in the upflow BAC biofilm reactors with continuous cycling. In order to simulate stagnant stream, the lake water of amusement park and golf course were stored as influent in a tank of $2m^3$ and hydraulic retention time (HRT) was changed into 6, 4, and 2 hours. At HRT 4hr and the lake water of amusement park as influent, the removal efficiencies of SS, $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$, $COD_{Cr}$, TN, and TP showed the best water quality improvement and were 69.8, 83.0, 91.3, 74.1, 74.7, and 88.9%, respectively. At HRT 4hr and the lake water of golf course as influent, the removal efficiencies of SS, $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$, $COD_{Cr}$, TN and TP were 78.5, 78.0, 80.2, 74.9, 55.6 and 97.5%, respectively. As the results of polymerase chain reaction - denaturing gel gradient electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE), microbial community was different depending on influent type. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) showed that nitrifying bacteria was dominant at HRT 4 hr. The biomass amount and microbial activities by INT-DHA test were not decrease even at lower HRT condition. In this study, the upflow BAC biofilm process would be considered to the water quality improvement of stagnant stream.
