The first-ever integral effect test for simulating a guillotine break of a DVI (Direct Vessel Injection) line of the APR1400 was carried out with the ATLAS (Advanced Thermal-hydraulic Test Loop for Accident Simulation) from the same prototypic pressure and temperature conditions as those of the APR1400. The major thermal hydraulic behaviors during a DVI line break accident were identified and investigated experimentally. A method for estimating the break flow based on a balance between the change in RCS inventory and the injection flow is proposed to overcome a direct break low measurement deficiency. A post-test calculation was performed with a best-estimate safety analysis code MARS 3.1 to examine its prediction capability and to identify any code deficiencies for the thermal hydraulic phenomena occurring during the DVI line break accidents. On the whole, the prediction of the MARS code shows a good agreement with the measured data. However, the code predicted a higher core level than did the data just before a loop seal clearing occurs, leading to no increase in the peak cladding temperature. The code also produced a more rapid decrease in the downcomer water level than was predicted by the data. These observable disagreements are thought to be caused by uncertainties in predicting countercurrent flow or condensation phenomena in a downcomer region. The present integral effect test data will be used to support the present conservative safety analysis methodology and to develop a new best-estimate safety analysis methodology for DVI line break accidents of the APR1400.

A front-end loader (FEL) mounted on an agricultural tractor is one of the most commonly used implements for farm work. However, when the tractor carries material using the bucket attached to the FEL on a sloping ground, the materials can spill or roll back over the operator due to the tilted body, thereby requiring the bucket surface to remain level at a constant value regardless of varying slopes. In this study, an active system for controlling the angle of the FEL bucket on a tractor based on the real-time measurement of ground slopes was developed to enable the bucket to constantly remain level. A FEL simulator operated based on an electro hydraulic proportional valve (EHPV) was constructed in the laboratory to develop a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller forming a virtual electronic control unit (ECU) on the computer, which could automatically adjust the bucket angles depending on varying input angles while sending SAE-J1939 associated messages via CAN BUS to the EHPV. The different parameter values for the PID controller due to the gravity effect of the bucket were determined using a manual PID tuning method while assuming that the tractor travels on either an ascending slope or a descending slope. The developed PID control-based self-leveling system showed a mean of steady-state errors of within $1^{\circ}$ and a mean of delayed times of ~ 0.8s when the step input of $+20^{\circ}$ was given, implying that the developed system and control algorithm would be effective in maintaining the bucket angle at a certain value. Future studies include the improvement of the control algorithm to reduce such a time delay as well as the application of the developed algorithm to the FEL mounted on a tractor tested at a testing ground.

부분포화토의 물리적 특징 중 하나인 함수특성곡선(soil-water characteristic curve)은 모관흡수력과 체적함수비의 관계를 나타낸다. 함수특성곡선은 지반의 습윤과정과 건조과정의 이력현상을 보여줄 수 있으나, 일반적으로 함수특성 곡선을 표현하는 방법은 이러한 이력현상을 무시한다. 또한 함수특성곡선의 고유한 형태는 흙의 간극비와 토립자들의 변형을 유발할 수 있는 외부의 여러 가지 하중들에 의해 언제든지 변화될 수 있다. 그러므로 여러 흙들이 가지고 있는 함수특성곡선과 토립자들 변형 사이의 관계에 대해서 실험적인 측면과 해석적인 측면의 차이점에 대해 이해가 필요하다. 실험적으로 1차 건조과정, 습윤과정 그리고 2차 건조과정으로 그려지는 전형적인 함수특성곡선들이 얻어진다. 이러한 이력현상을 갖는 함수특성곡선에서 습윤과정의 실험은 어려운 시험방법과 많은 시간소요가 필요하기 때문에 일반적으로 첫 번째 건조과정의 실험 결과를 불포화 투수계수와 전단강도 함수를 예측하기 위한 부분포화토의 물리적 특성으로 결정한다. 본 연구는 화강풍화토와 실트질 흙을 대상으로 유한요소해석 프로그램을 이용하여 부분포화토의 중요한 물리적 특성을 갖는 함수특성곡선의 1차 건조과정과 습윤과정 차이인 흙의 체적 변형과 이력현상에 대한 수리학적-역학적 흙의 거동특성을 비교 검토하였다.

The evaluation of Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) coupling behavior is important for the development of underground space for various purposes. For a high-level radioactive waste repository excavated in a deep underground rock mass, the accurate prediction of the complex THM behavior is essential for the long-term safety and stability assessment. In order to develop reliable THM analysis techniques effectively, an international cooperation project, Development of Coupled models and their Validation against Experiments (DECOVALEX), was carried out. In DECOVALEX-2015 Task B2, the in situ THM experiment that was conducted at Horonobe Underground Research Laboratory(URL) by Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), was modeled by the research teams from the participating countries. In this study, a THM coupling technique that combined TOUGH2 and FLAC3D was developed and applied to the THM analysis for the in situ experiment, in which rock, buffer, backfill, sand, and heater were installed. With the assistance of an artificial neural network, the boundary conditions for the experiment could be adequately implemented in the modeling. The thermal, hydraulic, and mechanical results from the modeling were compared with the measurements from the in situ THM experiment. The predicted buffer temperature from the THM modelling was about $10^{\circ}C$ higher than measurement near by the overpack. At the other locations far from the overpack, modelling predicted slightly lower temperature than measurement. Even though the magnitude of pressure from the modeling was different from the measurements, the general trends of the variation with time were found to be similar.

AE와 DRA를 이용한 초기응력 측정법은 실험실 시험을 통해 초기응력을 측정하는 방법 중의 하나이다. 이 방법은 시추와 실험실 시험간에 지연시간이 발생하며 시료에 축방향 반복하중을 가하여 초기응력을 결정하기 때문에 지하 암반의 응력 상태와는 다른 결과를 얻을 수도 있다. 이 연구에서는 지연시간을 다르게 하여 지연시간이 선행응력 결정에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 그리고 축방향 선행응력만을 가한 시료와 축방향 선행응력과 봉압을 모두 가한 시료에 대해 AE와 DRA를 이용하여 선행응력을 결정하여 봉압이 축방향 선행응력 결정에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 지연시간이 길어질수록 오차가 약간씩 증가하는 경향이 나타났으나 지연시간이 1개월인 시료라 할지라도 AE와 DRA를 이용한 경우 각각 16%와 12%의 오차범위 내에서 선행응력을 결정할 수 있었다. 축방향 선행응력만을 가한 경우 AE를 이용하면 9%, DRA를 이용하면 4%의 오차범위 내에서 축방향 선행응력을 결정할 수 있었으나 축방향 선행응력과 봉압을 모두 가한 경우는 각각 17%와 14%의 오차범위 내에서 축방향 선행응력을 결정할 수 있었다. 터널현장에서 시추한 코어를 이용하여 초기응력을 측정한 결과 AE와 DRA는 유사한 결과를 나타내었으나 수압파쇄법에 의한 결과보다는 작은 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: The objective of this paper was to compare test standards regarding the performance and safety of agricultural tractors to identify the differences in test conditions, measurement tolerances, and test procedures. Based on the comparison, some recommendations were proposed for possible revisions or improvements to current tractor test standards. Methods: The test standards and codes of major standards development organizations (SDOs), such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE), EC type approval, and the board of actions of the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratories (NTTL), were selected and analyzed. Comparison of the test standards: The ISO provides references for fuel and lubricants for tractor tests, and the OECD provides additional measurements for calculating fuel consumption characteristics during the power take-off (PTO) tests. The ISO, EC type approval, and the ASABE provide PTO protective device and the safety requirements. During drawbar power tests, seven transmission ratios are selected for fully automatic transmissions, according to the OECD. In case of hydraulic lift tests, ISO 789-2 and OECD Code 2 advise the use of a static lift force, while SAE J283 advises the use of additional dynamic lift capacity tests for a better representation of in-field operations. The OECD, the ISO, and EC type approval determine the seat index point (SIP), whereas the ASABE determines the seat reference point (SRP) for roll-over protective structure (ROPS) tests. Diversified measurement tolerances were among the braking performance test standards. The European Union (EU) has developed daily limits for vibration exposures with adaptations from ISO 2631-1. Electromagnetic compatibility evaluations are emerging of high-efficiency tractors due to the long-term conformance to electromagnetic emissions and interferences. Comparisons of tractor test standards discussed in this paper are expected to provide useful information for tractor manufacturers and standards development personnel to improve the performance and safety test standards of tractors.

파랑은 해안 구조물의 안정성 및 지형 변화 분석을 위해서 가장 중요한 동역학적 요소의 하나로서, 해안공학분야에서 매우 중요하게 취급된다. 그러나 바람에 의해 발생한 파랑은 매우 불규칙한 형태를 갖고 있으며, 해저 지형과 수심이 변하게 심하게 변하는 천해역으로 전파할 때 굴절, 회절 그리고 천수 효과에 의하여 변형된다. 최근 Vincent등(1989)은 수중 타원형 천퇴에서 단순파 및 불규칙파의 변형에 대한 수리모형 실험을 보고하였다. 이들은 단순파와 불규칙파의 경우 천퇴에서의 굴ㆍ회절 복합 현상에 의한 파랑변형 형태가 판이하게 다르다는 것을 발견하였다. 수년동안 불규칙파 변형에 대한 이론 및 수치해석 연구가 계속되어, 파랑변형에 대한 이론 연구 및 수리 모형 연구는 상당히 발전되었으나, 실제 현상을 예측하기 위해서는 현장관측결과와 수치해석에 의한 해와의 비교 등이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 여러 종류의 기기를 이용하여 영일만에서의 입사파와 변형된 파를 현장 관측하고, Chae와 Jeong(1992)의 타원형 모형을 이용하여 수중 천퇴 배후에서 불규칙파 변형에 대한 수치모형 실험을 실시하였다. 이들 2종류의 비교 결과가 잘 일치함으로써, 불규칙파 수치모형의 현장 적용성을 입증하였다.

Climate changes brought on by human interventions have proved to be more devastating than predicted during the recent decades. Recognition of seriousness of the situation has led regulatory organisations to impose strict targets on allowable carbon dioxide emissions from automotive vehicles. As a possible solution, it has been proposed that Fibre Metal Laminate (FML) system is used to reduce the weight of future vehicles. To facilitate this investigation, FML based on steel and self-reinforced polypropylene was stamp formed into dome shapes under different blank holder forces (BHFs) at room temperature and its forming behaviour analysed. An open-die configuration was used in a hydraulic press so that a 3D photogrammetric measurement system (ARAMIS) could capture real-time surface strains. This paper presents findings on strain evolutions at different points along and at $45^{\circ}$ to fibre directions of circular FML blank, through various stages of forming. It was found initiation and rate of deformation varied with distance from the pole, that the mode of deformations range from biaxial stretching at the pole to drawing towards flange region, at decreasing magnitudes away from the pole in general. More uniform strain distribution was observed for the FML compared to that of plain steel and the most significant effects of BHF were its influence on forming depth and level of strain reached before failure.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the radius of influence of effluent of water treatment system developed for the purpose of improvement of reservoir water quality using fluorescent dye (Rhodamine-WT) tracer experiment and 3-D numerical model. The tracer experiment was carried out in a medium-sized agricultural reservoir with a storage capacity of $227,000m^3$ and an average depth of 1.6 m. A guideline with a total length of 160 m was installed at intervals of 10 m in the horizontal direction from the discharge part, and a Rhodamine measurement sensor (YSI 6130, measurement range $0-200{\mu}g/L$) was used to measure concentration changes in time, distance, and depth. Experimental design was established in advance through Jet theory and the diffusion process was simulated using ELCOM, a three dimensional hydraulic dynamics model. As a result of the study, the direct effect radius of the jet emitted from the applied water treatment system was about 50-70 m, and the radius of physical effect by the advection diffusion was judged to be 100-120 m. The numerical simulations of effluent advection-diffusion of the water treatment system using ELCOM showed very similar results to those of the impact radius analysis using the tracer experiment and jet flow empirical equations. The results provide valuable information on the spatial extent of the water quality improvement devices installed in the reservoir and the facility layout design.
