Human Factors Engineering (HFE) for Main Control Room (MCR) of Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) has been applied to optimize the design and operation of Man-Machine Interface (MMI) between operators and their equipment in consideration of physical, psychological and cognitive aspects. However, it has been observed that operators complain about environmental discomfort in the MCR since the operators in the MCR experience excessive stress due to the environmental factors such as inappropriate interior and lighting system. Since the HFE is an essential factor for the high fidelity performance of operators in the MCR, the adequate MCR environment design with HFE rules and guidelines is as much important to enhance the operability and reliability of the MCRs. Therefore, there has been a strong need to design a pleasant environment for the MCR to improve human performance of the operators.

Current lead is one of the first proposed devices for the application of High Temperature-Superconductor(HTSC). The current lead provides high current for electrical machine using superconductor from room temperature. Its characteristics that is zero resistance and low heat transfer rate under critical temperature lead to research for the replacement of existing current lead with HTSC. In this paper, we investigated the temperature distributions of stacking type and rod type current lead with each cross-section area and length using Nastran program and compared each temperature distribution. It is obtained from this paper that stacking type current lead has flat temperature gradient and than rod type one and more stable operation as current lead is closely related with its cross-section area and length.

본 논문에서는 2002년도에 KT에서 개발한 내경 1,000mm의 무인통신구를 건설 할 수 있는 마이크로터널링 장비에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 개발된 장비는 3D 기법을 이용한 최첨단 기법을 통하여 개발되었으며, 소형 굴진기의 취약점인 장애물 돌파능력을 보완하기 위하여 막장으로 진입이 가능한 구조로 되어있다. 따라서 굴진 중 장애물에 직면했을 경우 막장을 통하여 장애물을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있으며, 이 막장 진입통로를 이용하여 면판의 비트와 롤러커터를 교체할 수 있으므로 장거리 굴진이 가능하다. 그리고 굴진작업 시 필요한 원압잭과 후방설비인 Desander, 송 배니펌프등의 주변설비를 Operating Room에서 통합관리 할 수 있는 터널링 관리시스템을 개발하여 적용함으로써 보다. 효율적인 굴진관리를 수행할 수 있는 특징을 갖고 있다. 이렇게 개발된 장비와 시스템은 시험 시공을 통해 그 성능을 확인하였으며, 여기서 그 개발 과정 및 시험 시공 결과에 대해 기술하고자 한다.

Chemical Mechanical Polishing(CMP) is popularly used in production of semiconductor because of large area polishing ability probability of improvement for more integrated circuit. However, present CMP processing causes some non-uniformity errors which can be critical for highly integrated circuit. Previous studies predict that flow-field of slurry during CMP can create non-uniformity, but no quantitative measurement has conducted. In this study, using PIV, slurry velocity flow-field during CMP is measured by changing the ratio of RPM of pad and carrier with tuned PIV system adequate for small room in CMP machine and Cabot's non-groove pad Epad-A100. The result show that velocity of slurry is majorly determined by pad-rpm and the ratio of between carrier and pad rpm make some changes in streamlines.

The application of laser direct etching has been discussed, and believed that the process is a very powerful method for micro machining. This study is focused on the micro patterning technology using laser direct etching process with no chemical damage of the material surface. A new introduced concept of energy synergy effect for surface micro machining is the combination of chemically ion reaction and laser thermal process. The etchant can't etch the material in room temperature, and used Ar laser has not power enough to machine. But, the machining is occurred in local area of the material by the combined energy. Using this process, the material is especially prevented from chemical damage for electric property. We have tested this new concept, and achieved a line with $1{mu}m$ width. The Ar laser with 488nm wavelength was used. The material was Si(100) wafer, and etchant is KOH solution. The application and flexibility of this process is in great hopes for MEMS structures and fabrication of the micro electric device parts.

Adaptive neural network approach is presented for determining Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) parameters. Electrical Discharge Machining has been widely used with its capability of machining hard metals and tough shapes. In the past few years, EDM has been established in tool-room and large-scale production. However. in spite of it's wide application, an universal selection method of EDM parameters has not been established yet. No attempt has been tried before to suggest a logical method in determining essential machine parameters considering the machining rate and resulting surface roughness integrity. The paper presents a method, which is focusing on determining appropriate machining parameters. Depending on the electrode wear and surface roughness, an adaptive neural network is designed for providing suitable machining guideline.

Using carbon steel or ceramic as a shaft material of monolithic and slited insert ring clamped on it. The fitting strengths of the sgrink fitted assemblies measured from room temperature to 30$0^{\circ}C$ and following conclusions were obtained as results of this investigation. 1) The fitting condition under which the shrink fitted assemble was stronger than that using simple fit in high temperature. 2) When both material of the 30mm-diameter shaft and 55mm-diameter boss are SM45C the clamping torque is increased 2.7times as the interference increases 3 times from 20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ at the contact length of 6mm monolithic fit. 3) When only the material of boss is changed to STS 304 the clamping torque is increased at the rate of 37.3N.m per 1mm increase of the contact length at the interference of 50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ monolithic fit.

Recently, the uses of Ceramic/metal bonded joints, resin/metal joints, adhesive joints, composite materials which are composed of dissimiliar materials have increased in various industry fields. Since the ceramic/metal bonded joints material is made at a high temperature, residual stress distributions due to differences in material properties were investigated by varying material parameters. The two dimensional finite element analysis was performed to study residual stress distribution in Si3N4/SM45C bonded joint with a copper interlayer between the silicon nitride(Si3N4) and the structural carbon steel(SM45C) and 4-point bending tests were carried out under room temperature. Fracture surface and crack propagation path were observed using scanning electron microscope and characteristics of its fracture was discussed.
