This study investigates long and short run responses of variables to exogenous shocks by imposing prior restrictions on a contemporaneous structural shock coefficient matrix of the model to identify shocks by endogenous variables in the vector autoregression. The relative importance of each structural shock in variation of each variable is calculated through the identification of proper restrictions (not based on any specific theory but on researcher judgment corresponding to actual situations) and an estimation of the structural vector autoregression. The results of the analyses are found to maintain consistency.

In this paper, failure probabilities of the OPR1000 reactor vessel under pressurized thermal shock (PTS) were estimated using the probabilistic fracture mechanics code, R-PIE. Input variables of initial crack distribution, crack size, copper contents, and upper shelf toughness were selected for the sensitivity analyses. A wide range of the input data were considered. Through-wall cracking frequencies determined by the product of the vessel failure probability and the corresponding occurrence frequency of the transient were also compared to the acceptance criterion. The results showed that transient history had the most significant impact on the vessel failure probability. Moreover, conservative assumptions resulted in extremely high through-wall cracking frequencies.

We performed a numerical simulation based on the two-dimensional (2-D) unsteady Euler's equation with a single-step Arrhenius reaction model in order to investigate the detonation wave front propagation of an Argon (Ar) diluted oxy-hydrogen mixture ($2H_2+O_2+12Ar$). This simulation operates in the detonation frame of reference. We examine the effect of grid size and the performance impact of integrated quantities such as mass flow. For a given set of baseline conditions, the minimal and maximum grid resolutions required to simulate the respective detonation waves and the detonation cell structures are determined. Tertiary shock wave behavior for various grids and pre-exponential factors are analyzed. We found that particle fluctuation can be weakened by controlling the mass flow going through the oblique shock waves.

Agricultural tractors require frequent shifting to improve operation efficiency, and PST (Powershift Transmission) is considered as a suitable transmission. However, due to the inherent characteristics of the PST, shocks arise during shifting, which imparts a negative effect on the operator. Therefore, in order to improve the transmission performance of the tractor PST, researches on various methods including the hydraulic system circuit, the engine input speed control, and the mechanical system of the transmission are steadily being conducted. In this study, in order to reduce the impact of PST on a shift based on SimulationX software, we analyzed the characteristics of the input signal of PCV (Pressure Control Valve) through sensitivity analysis and verified the simulation model through actual vehicle test. Optimization was performed for minimizing the shift shock for some of the parameters of the input signal at constant temperature and RPM conditions.

In this paper, we implement a Dashcam system capable of shooting 360 degrees using a Raspberry Pi, shock sensors, distance sensors, and rotating camera with a servo motor. If there is an object approaching the vehicle by the distance sensor, the camera rotates to take a video. In the event of an external shock, videos and images are stored in the server to analyze the cause of the vehicle's accident and prevent the user from forging or tampering with videos or images. We also implement functions that transmit the message with the location and the intensity of the impact when the accident occurs and send the vehicle information to an insurance authority with by linking the system with a smart device. It is advantage that the authority analyzes the transmitted message and provides the accident handling information giving the user's safety and convenience.

Many malfunctions take place in container crane spreader due to impact. So we designed a 2DOF hydraulic impact absorbing system and studied the change of impulse with respect to the variation of falling height and weight. The falling height becomes higher than 1m and the falling weight goes up heavier than 100kg, the impact absorbing rate was lower. When spreader is bumped against container and impulse force concentrates on one point, impact absorbing equipment would not be operated properly and make some trouble.

In this paper, the drop/impact simulation for a mobile phone has been carried out with the explicit code LS-DYNA and its validation has been experimentally verified. The small size of this kind of electronics products makes it time-consuming, and difficult to conduct drop tests to detect the failure mechanism and identify their drop behaviors. Strict drop/impact performance criteria of such hand held electronic products as mobile phones play an important role in their design because these products must withstand both normal and unexpected shock. Usually, the product durability on drop impact depends on designers experience. The present reliable methodology of drop/impact simulation provides an efficient and powerful vehicle to improve the design quality and reduce the design period.

Impact analysis of TFT-LCD module is very complicated because the structure is assisted with thin, small and non-uniform geometry. Especially, finite element modeling is more difficult and need time-consuming efforts. In this study, we developed LCD Impact Analysis System (LIAS) for the purpose of reducing the analysis time without accuracy reduction. This system contains pre-meshing data, material database, shock condition, auto-reporting etc. PATRAN and DYNA3D is used for meshing and solving. Previously, we performed impact test and reviewed the accuracy of analysis results. Simply we can control design parameters, the procedure such as meshing, running and reporting which are partially auto-prepared. By adopting proposed system, it is expected to achieve efficient impact analysis of LCD module.

The energy-absorbing characteristic of impact limiters affects the cask design so significantly that it should be evaluated as accurate as possible. The objective of this study is to find the influence of the impact limiter's steel case and gusset plates which enclose the shock absorbing cellular material on the impact energy absorption. The influence of impact limiter's steel case and gusset plate stiffeners on the impact energy absorption behavior under horizontal drop impact was evaluated for a radioactive isotope transport cask. Though the impact limiters mitigate the impact damage of the cask, the impact limiter's steel case and gusset plate stiffeners increase the impact force so significantly that should be designed as soft as possible. The impact analysis without considering impact limiter's steel case and gusset plates stiffener gives non-conservative results, so the stiffness of the steel case and gusset plates should be considered in impact analysis.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the shock absorbing effect of 4 restorative materials and intramobile connector. The damping effect of four restorative materials used to veneer test crown rigidly connected to IMZ implant and subjected to an impact force was measured. These materials included a gold alloy(stabilor G) : a noble metal ceramic alloy(Degudent H) : porcelain(Duceram) : composite resin(Dentacolor). In addition, this study compared damping effect of same restoretive materials after using polyoxymethylene intramobile connector(POM IMC). The result of this study suggest that : In case of using metal IMC 1. Veneered composite resin(group IV) reduced the impact force by 75%, when compared to an equivalent thickness of porcelain(group III). Group IV reduced the impact force by 87% and 89%, respectively, when compared to Stabilor G(group I) and Degudent H(group II). 2. The impact force recorded was higher for the alloy with the higher elastic modulus.(Stabilor G, group I, Young's modulus 107 Gpa, versus Degudent H, Group II, Young's modulus 95 Gpa) 3. It took the longest time for composite resin veneered group(IV) to reach to peak force when compared group I, II, III. In case of using POM IMC 4. The mean impact force recorded were reduced by 79%(group I), 78%(group II), 69%(group III), 84%(group IV), respectively, when compared to using metal IMC. 5. The time required to reach the peak force were increased by 78%(group I, II) 87%(group III), 34%(group IV), respectively, when compared to using metal IMC>.
