Laser material processing is a very fast growing technology for various industrial applications, because of many advantages. Its major advantage of less and controlled heat input has been exploited successfully for the very critical application of aluminium alloy welding. This study suggested the occurrence source of weld-defects and its solution methods in a welding of lithium ion battery by pulsed Nd:YAG laser. In experiment, battery case has changed over joint geometry from welding of side position to flat one. In case of a electrolyte injection hole in order to seal it, welding is carried out after pressing Al ball. At this time, an eccentric degree, contact length and gap are worked as a major parameters. As improving the method of Al ball pressing, it was able to reduce an eccentricity, increase the contact length and decrease gap. As a results of a experiment, a sound weld bead shape and crack-free weld bead can be obtained.

Various welding processes are now available for end cap closure of nuclear fuel element such as TG(Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, magnetic resistance welding and laser welding. Even though the resistance and TIG welding processes are widely used for manufacturing commercial fuel elements, they can not be recommended for the remote seal welding of a fuel element at a hot cell facility due to the complexity of electrode alignment, difficulity in the replacement of parts in the remote manner and a large heat input for a thin sheath. Therefore, the Nd:YAG laser system using optical fiber transmission was selected for Zircaloy-4 end cap welding inside hot cell. The laser welding apparatus was developed using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser of 500 watt average power with optical fiber transmission. The weldability of laser welding was satisfactory with respect to the microstructures and mechanical properties comparing with TIG and resistance welding. The optimum operation processes of laser welding and the optical fiber transmission system for hot cell operation in a remote manner have been developed The effects of irradiation on the properties of the laser apparatus were also being studied.

Purpose: The development of compact tractors that can be used in dry fields, greenhouses, and orchards for pest control, weeding, transportation, and harvesting is necessary. The development and performance evaluation of power transmission units are very important when it comes to tractor development. This study evaluates the performance of a driving power transmission unit of a 50 kW multi-purpose narrow tractor. Methods: The performance of the transmission and forward-reverse clutch, which are the main components of the driving power transmission unit of multi-purpose narrow tractors, was evaluated herein. The transmission performance was evaluated in terms of power transmission efficiency, noise, and axle load, while the forward-reverse clutch performance was evaluated in terms of durability. The transmission's power transmission efficiency accounts for the measurement of transmission losses, which occur in the transmission's gear, bearing, and oil seal. The motor's power was input in the transmission's input shaft. The rotational speed and torque were measured in the final output shaft. The noise was measured at each speed level after installing a microphone on the left, right, and upper sides. The axle load test was performed through a continuous equilibrium load test, in which a constant load was continuously applied. The forward-reverse clutch performance was calculated using the engine torque to axle torque ratio with the assembled engine and transmission. Results: The loss of power in the transmission efficiency test of the driving power unit was 6.0-9.7 kW based on all gear steps. This loss of horsepower was equal to 11-18% of the input power (52 kW). The transmission efficiency of the driving power unit was 81.5-89.0%. The noise of the driving power unit was 50-57 dB at 800 rpm, 70-77 dB at 1600 rpm, and 76-83 dB at 2400 rpm. The axle load test verified that the input torque and axle revolutions were constant. The results of the forward-reverse clutch performance test revealed that hydraulic pressure and torque changes were stably maintained when moving forward or backward, and its operation met the hydraulic design standards. Conclusions: When comprehensively examined, these research results were similar to the main driving power transmission systems from USA and Japan in terms of performance. Based on these results, tractor prototypes are expected to be created and supplied to farmhouses after going through sufficient in-situ adaptability tests.

백악기 당시 미국 걸프만 퇴적분지는 대륙연변부의 색(sag)형 퇴적분지로서의 진화과정을 거치고 있었다. 두꺼운 백악기의 쇄설성과 탄산염 퇴적층은 상승 교란작용을 받은 암염층을 덮고 있다. 당시 걸프만 퇴적분지의 염분도는 넓게 발달하고 있는 초조간대의 경석고 퇴적층의 분포로 보아 현생의 페르시아만 환경과 유사했던 것으로 추정된다. 하부 백악기의 주요 저류암 (reservoir)으로는 쇄설성 퇴적암층인 카튼밸리(Cotton Valley), 허스톤(Hosston), 트래비스픽(Travis Peak)층과 탄산염 퇴적암층인 슬리고(Sligo), 트리니티(Trinity) - 파인아일랜드(Pine Island), 피어살(Pearsall), 글랜로스(Glen Rose), 에드워드(Edwards), 조오지타운(Georgetown)/부다(Buda) 층이 있다. 이 시기 저류암층에 탄화수소를 공급했던 근원암(source rock)으로는 경사방향 하부(down-dip)에 위치하고 있는 셰일과 이회암층이 꼽히고, 덮개암(seal)은 대개 경사방향 상부(up-dip)에 위치하고 있는 계일과 치밀한 석회암층, 그리고 증발암으로 보인다. 하부 백악기 동안 전 걸프만 퇴적분지는 천해환경하에 있었는데, 남서부 지역은 백악기 말까지 계속 이어졌던 천해 탄산염 환경이,북쪽과 서쪽지역에서는 육성기원의 세립질 퇴적물이 주로 집적되는 환경이었다. 상부 백악기동안에는 걸프만 퇴적분지는 주요한 해수면 상승기와 연관되어 비교적 수심이 깊었던 환경하에 있었으며 이 때 형성된 주요 저류암층으로는 우드바인(Woodbine)/투스칼루사(Tuscaloosa) 사암층, 테일러(Taylor) 나바로(Navarro) 사암층과 오스틴(Austin) 백악 및 탄산염암층이 있다. 이 저류암층에 탄화수소를 공급했던 근원암층으로는 경사방향 하부의 셰일층이, 그리고 덮개암층은 경사방향 상부의 계일층이 그 역할을 담당했던 것으로 해석된다. 뗘악기 하부와 상부 퇴적층의 주요 트랩(trap)으로는 완만한 기둥형(pillow)으로부터 복잡한 다이아피어(diapir) 형태의 암염층 관련 배사구조와 하단 단층블록위에 놓여 있으며 롤오버(rollover) 배사구조를 갖는 성장단층이 있다. 투수 장애(permeability barrier), 상부 경사방향으로 첨멸하는 사암체(up-dip pinch-out sand body깥 침식부정합면(unconformity truncation)도. 걸프만 석유부존에 중요한 역할을 한 트랩들이다. 백악기의 주요한 저류암층들은 범세계 해수면곡선의 하강시기와 잘 일치하고 있는데 이는 백악기동안 형성된 걸프만의 퇴적층서가 범세계 해수면곡선을 전반적으로 잘 반영하고 있음을 의미한다. 즉 퇴적작용을 주로 지배하는 세 즌요 변수인 지구조적인 분지의 침강운동,퇴적물의 공급,해수면 변동오그÷중에서 해수면 변동요소가 이 시기동안 가장 중요한 역할을 했음을 의미한다.
