In cold forging of piston-pin for automobile parts, the flow defect appears by the dead metal zone. This appearance evidently happens in products with a thin piercing thickness for the dimension accuracy and the decrease of material loss. The best method that can prevent flow defect is removing dead metal zone. The purpose of this study is to investigate the material flow behavior of forward-backward extruded piston-pin through the relative velocity ratio and the stroke control of upper moving punch & container using the flow control forming technique. The finite element simulations are applied to analyse the flow defect, then the results are compared with the plasticine model material experiments. The model experiment results are in good agreement with the FE simulation ones.

This study deals with heat pipes inserted into the metal hydride(MH) reactor to increase the effective thermal conductivity of the system and thus to enhance the thermal control characteristics. A numerical analysis was conducted to predict the effect of inserted heat pipes on the heat transfer characteristics of MH, which inherently has extremely low thermal conductivity. The numerical model was a cylindrical container of O.D. 76.3 mm and length 1 m, which is partially filled with about 60% of MH material. The heat pipe was made of copper-water combination, which is suitable for operation temperature range between $10^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$. Both inner -and outer- heat pipes were considered in the model. Less than two hours of transient time is of concern when decreasing or increasing the temperature for absorption and discharge of hydrogen gas. FLUENT, a commercial software, was employed to predict the transient as well as steady-state temperature distribution of the MH reactor system. The numerical results were compared and analyzed from the view point of temperature uniformity and transient time up to the specified maximum or minimum temperatures.

고령화 사회로 인한 관절 질환 환자의 증가로 TKRA(Total Knee Replacement Arthroplasty)가 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 TKRA에 사용되는 인공관절에 의해 MRI영상에서 금속인공물이 발생하게 되는데 이는 진단에 영향을 미치게 된다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 Co-Cr, Ni-Ti 소재의 인공관절과 시퀀스 변화를 주어 영상에서의 영향을 최소화시켜 진단의 효과를 높이고자 한다. 1.5T AVANTO장비와 플라스틱 통, 각각의 인공관절(Normal, Co-Cr, Ni-Ti)을 사용하였으며 종이컵 안에 인공관절을 고정시킨 후 원통 모양의 플라스틱 통 안에 넣어 신호강도를 측정하였다. 균일하고 강한 신호강도를 획득하기 위하여 플라스틱 통은 물로 채웠다. 시퀀스는 T1 TSE, T2 TSE, PD TSE로 변화하면서 실험하였고 Axial영상을 획득하였다. 신호강도는 동일한 크기의 관심영역을 설정하여 최대값, 최소값을 제외한 후 평균을 구해 SNR, CNR을 측정하고 Image J를 이용해 PSNR을 측정하였다. 결과적으로 PD TSE가 T1 TSE, T2 TSE에 비하여 SNR과 CNR 값이 크게 나타나왔고 Co-Cr이 Ni-Ti에 비하여 PSNR의 수치도 크게 나타나고 Normal의 SNR 값과 유사하게 나타난 것으로 보아 PD TSE의 시퀀스와 Co-Cr의 합금을 사용하는 것이 진단 및 판독을 하는데 있어서 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

A high-temperature sodium stainless steel heat pipe was fabricated and its performance has been investigated. The working fluid was sodium and it was sealed inside a straight tube container made of stainless steel. The amount of sodium occupied approximately 20% of the total volume of the heat pipe and its weight was 65.7gram. The length of a stainless steel container is 1002mm and its outside diameter is 25.4mm. Performance tests were carried out in a room air condition under a free convective environment and the measured temperatures are presented. The start-up behavior of the heat pipe from a frozen state was investigated for various heat input values between 600W and 1205W. In steady state, axial temperature distributions of a heat pipe were measured and its heat transfer rates were estimated in the range of vapor temperature from 50$0^{\circ}C$ to 63$0^{\circ}C$. It is found that there are small temperature differences in the vapor core along the axial direction of a sodium heat pipe for the high operating temperatures. But for the range of low operating temperatures there are large temperature drops along the vapor core region of a sodium heat pipe, because a small vapor pressure drop makes a large temperature drop. The transition temperature was reached more rapidly in the cases of high heat input rate for the sodium heat pipe.

The characteristics of the external radiation on the surface of the casks for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) storage by dry method are investigated for the case when the spatial distribution of SNF in the basket changes due to the destruction of the fuel rod claddings. The surface areas are determined, where the changes in fluxes of neutrons, produced by ²⁴⁴Cm actinide, and γ-quanta, produced by long-lived isotopes, are maximum in the result of the decrease in the height of the SNF area. Concrete (VSC-24) and metal (SC-21) casks are considered as examples. The procedure of periodic measurement of the dose rate of neutrons or γ-quanta at the specified points of the cask surface is proposed for identifying the fuel rod cladding destruction. Under normal operation, the decrease in the dose rate produced by neutrons as the function of SNF storage duration is determined by the half-life of ²⁴⁴Cm, and for γ-quanta - by the half-lives of long-lived SNF isotopes. Consequently, a stepwise change in the dose rate of neutrons or γ-quanta, detected by the measurements, as compared to the previous one, would indicate the destruction of the fuel rod claddings.
