The mining of imitated manganese noodles in 1000 m of seawater is planned for 2012. Thus, it is necessary to prepare the lifting pipes to be used for the test. Because of storage and expense constraints, flexible and economic HDPE pipe is being considered, making it necessary to test the structural safety. Material, pressure-chamber tests and finite element analysis of HDPE pipe for the 1000-m depth were performed. The tangential stiffness of HDPE was obtained through tension and three-point bending material tests and used for a structural analysis. FEA results show that the current sample pipe segment is safe for 1000 m of water pressure, and the stress result is also within the safe value. From the current results, the HDPE pipe seems to be acceptable only for the currently suggested constraints. However, more numerical and pressure tests need to be considered by applying additional physical conditions such as gravitational and hydrodynamic loads, external and internal fluid pressure, axial force induced ship motion, and heavy pump pressure to determine future usage.

Experimental studies with 4.3m and enlarged 30m in height have been conducted to investigate the flow characteristics of solid-liquid mixture in a lifting pipe and to acquire the design data for sea tests that will be performed in the future. From the results, it was observed that the more the discharged volume fraction and the solid diameter increase, the more the hydraulic gradient increases. Also, the more the diameter of the lifting pipe increases, the smaller the friction loss, and consequently, the less pressure drop and hydraulic gradient. From the enlarged hydraulic pumping experiments, it was shown that the results of the experiments were matched with those of the numerical model previously developed. On the bases of these studies, we plan to conduct further experiments and validate the hydraulic pumping model.

This paper concerns about coupled dynamic analysis of the deep-seabed mining system in launching operation. The dynamic behavior of mining system consisting of lifting pipe, buffer station, flexible conduit and self-propelled miner is simulated in time domain. The launching operation is divided into four critical phases: (1) deployment of miner and flexible conduit, (2) deployment of lifting pipe, flexible conduit and miner, (3) touch-down of miner, (4) final launching. The dynamic responses of sub-systems - miner, flexible conduit, buffer and lifting pipe - are analyzed in each launching phase. According to the changing periods of forced excitation at the top, the dynamic responses of sub-systems are diverse in their characteristics. It has been shown that the total integrated responses of sub-systems are strongly affected by the design parameters. Especially, the principal dimensions of flexible conduit seem to be significant in determining of the global response. Based on the simulation results, safe operation conditions are investigated.

심해채광시스템(Deep-sea mining system)은 보편적으로 수상선(Surface vessel), 양광관(Lifting system), 버퍼(Buffer), 유연관(Flexible pipe) 그리고 집광기(Miner)로 구성된다. 이러한 채광시스템은 하부시스템들(Subsystems)로 구성되기 때문에 대규모 시스템(Large-scale system)으로 가정할 수 있다. 대규모 시스템을 제어하기 위하여, 최근에는 분산제어기법(Decentralized control approach)이 널리 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 대규모 시스템인 채광시스템에 분산제어 기법의 적용성에 대한 기본연구로서, 먼저 심해채광시스템을 유사 모델(양광관과 버퍼를 구면진자 유연관을 2차원 선형 스프링 결합)로 가정하고 간략하게 모델화하였다. 간략화된 모델을 바탕으로, 대규모 심해 채광시스템을 2개의 하부 시스템, 수상선, 양광관과 버퍼로 구성된 시스템과 집광기 시스템으로 각각 나누었다. 다음으로 각 하부 시스템 사이의 상호작용 요소(Interaction term)를 외란(Disturbance)으로 가정하고, 각 하부시스템에 대한 분산제어기를 설계하였다. 여기서 제어기는 집광기가 주어진 경로를 움직이는 동안, 집광기 시스템과 수상선, 양광관과 버퍼 시스템 사이의 거리가 일정하게 유지되도록 제어하였다. 끝으로 제안된 제어기의 효율성을 검증하기 위해, 간략화된 모델을 이용한 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

The deep seabed mining system is generally composed of surface vessel, lifting system, buffer, flexible pipe and miner. The milling system is regarded as a large-scale system in which each subsystem is interconnected to other one. In order to control a large-scale system, a decentralized control approaches have been proposed recently. In this paper, as a basic study on application of decentralized control, firstly, the mining system is simplified modeled, where the lifting system and buffer is regarded as a spherical pendulum and tile flexible pipe is as a two-dimension linear spring. Based on the derived model, the system characteristics and the feasibility of decentralized control are analyzed.

This paper proposes a method for evaluating the work of manufacturing workers using MediaPipe as a risk factor for musculoskeletal diseases. Recently, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) caused by repeated working attitudes in industrial sites have emerged as one of the biggest problems in the industrial health field while increasing public interest. The Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency presents tools such as NIOSH Lifting Equations (NIOSH), OWAS (Ovako Working-posture Analysis System), Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), and Rapid Entertainment Assessment (REBA) as ways to quantitatively calculate the risk of musculoskeletal diseases that can occur due to workers' repeated working attitudes. To compensate for these shortcomings, the system proposed in this study obtains the position of the joint by estimating the posture of the worker using the posture estimation learning model of MediaPipe. The position of the joint is calculated using inverse kinetics to obtain an angle and substitute it into the REBA equation to calculate the load level of the working posture. The calculated result was compared to the expert's image-based REBA evaluation result, and if there was a result with a large error, feedback was conducted with the expert again.

This paper concerns about total dynamic analysis of integrated mining system. This system consists of vertical steel pipe, intermediate buffer station, flexible pipe and self-propelled miner. The self-propelled miner and buffer are assumed as rigid-body of 6-dof. Discrete models of vertical steel pipe and flexible pipe are adopted, which are obtained by means of lumped-parameter method. The motion of mining vessel is not considered. Instead, the motion of mining vessel is taken into account in form of various boundary conditions (e.g. forced excitation in slow motion and/or fast oscillation and so on). A terramechanics model of extremely soft cohesive soil is applied to the self-propelled miner. The hydrodynamic forces and moments are included in the dynamic models of vehicle and lifting pipe system. Hinged and fixed constraints are used to define the connections between sub-systems (vertical steel pipe, buffer, flexible pipe, miner). Equations of motion of the coupled model are derived with respect to the each local coordinates system. Four Euler parameters are used to express the orientations of the sub-systems. To solve the equations of motion of the total dynamic model, an incremental-iterative formulation is employed. Newmark-b method is used for time-domain integration. The total dynamic responses of integrated mining system are investigated.

Plastic pipes Wrapped with synthetic filter are recently used for drainage or Collecting of Underground water. But it's use is possible only for small size of diameter less than 300mm, because large size plastic pipes are not readily availabe. For large diameter infiltration gallery, porous concrete pipes are now used, but it's heavy weight brings difficulties in making, moving and setting of the pipes. With it's conventional method of filter setting, fine sands are brought into the pipes to make trouble to lifting pumps and channels Therefore, initial construction cost and maintenance cost become high. To solve-this problem, new method is developed and tested. Small PVC pipes(diameter 14mm) are assembled at the site of construction to newly devised I beam type circls. The size of circular inpiltration gallery is optionally determined by I beam type circle which support small PVC pipes and is made of PVC amterial. This gallery are wrappd with syntheitc filter to prevent sand instruction. In this test, the diameter of 300, 400, 500mm were used. I beam type circles were made with PVC plated with thickness. t=6, 9, 12mm. Water quantity collected through the PVC circulor gallery are measured and the strengths of the gallery. 1. Allowable setting depth of gallery pipe below graund for the case of t=6mm, D=500mm is 2.72m. 2. Collected water quantity depends on soil texture, depth of water grandient of water surface, filter material angle of setting etc. 3. About 126% of water quantity collected from the one gallery pipe measured in two gallery pipes of two parallel installation.
