The main structure of Gunsan steam power station was demolished by the toppling method using high explosives. Height of a main building is 58m and a total floor area is $292,000m^2$. It is Rahmen(rigid-frame) structure consisted of almost columns and beams and slabs exist only in one part of the building for the electricity generators equipments. To improve the efficiency of blasting work, it is separated into 4 sectors. Blasting floors were 1, 2, 3, & 4 stories from first sector to third sector, while 1, 2, 5, & 7 of fourth sector were blasted because it had not slabs. About 102.675 kg of the MegaMITE were used with 225 electric detonator and 638 non-electric detonators to check detonator connection and confidence of detonation. The blasting noise and vibration were monitored to evaluate the environment effect and the damage of the nearby structures.

This paper describes development of a non-explosive separation device which can be equipped on small satellites. The spur geared micro DC motor, which has high reliability and advantage of price, is adopted as an actuator. The proposed separation device has resettability and it does not need extra jig to reload. In addition, the simple structure makes it easy to fabricate and assemble. To verify the performance of the proposed device, the response time tests, maximum preload tests and maximum shock level tests were performed. Also, through the vibration tests and thermal vacuum tests, feasibility of the proposed separation device was shown in launching and space environments. Therefore, we expect that the proposed separation device can replace the imported separation devices in near future.

The main objective of this paper is to design and test a new type of polymer ZnO surge arrester for AC power system of railroad vehicles. Metal oxide surge arrester for most electric power system applications, electric train and subway are now being used extensively to protect overvoltage due to lightning. Surge arresters with porcelain housing must not have explosive breakage of the housing to minimize damage to other equipment when subjected to internal high short circuit current. When breakdown of ZnO elements in a surge arrester occurs due to flashover, fault short current flows through the arrestor and internal pressure of the arrester rises. The pressure rise can usually be limited by fitting a pressure relief diaphragm and transferring the arc from the inside to the outside of the housing. However, there is possibility of porcelain fragmentation caused by the thermal shock, pressure rise. etc. Non-fragmenting of the housing is the most desired way to prevent damage to other equipment. The pressure change which is occurred by flashover become discharge energy. This discharge energy raises to damage arrester housing and arrester housing is dispersed as small fragment. Therefore, the pressure relief design is requested to obstruct housing dispersion. The main research works are focused on the structure design by finite element method, pressure relief of module, and studies of performance of surge arrester for electric railway vehicle.

In weapon systems development, live fire tests have been frequently adopted to evaluate the performance of the systems under development. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure safety in the test ranges where the live fire tests can cause serious hazards. During the tests, a special care must be taken to protect the test and evaluation (T&E) personnel and also test assets from potential danger and hazards. Thus, the development and management of the range safety process is quite important in the tests of guided missiles and artillery considering the explosive power of the destruction. Note also that with a newly evolving era of weapon systems such as laser, EMP and non-lethal weapons, the test procedure for such systems is very complex. Therefore, keeping the safety level in the test ranges is getting more difficult due to the increased unpredictability for unknown hazards. The objective of this paper is to study on how to enhance the safety in the test ranges. To do so, an approach is proposed based on model-based systems engineering (MBSE). Specifically, a functional architecture is derived utilizing the MBSE method for the design of the range safety process under the condition that the derived architecture must satisfy both the complex test situation and the safety requirements. The architecture developed in the paper has also been investigated by simulation using a computer-aided systems engineering tool. The systematic application of this study in weapon live tests is expected to reduce unexpected hazards and test design time. Our approach is intended to be a trial to get closer to the recent theme in T&E community, "Testing at the speed of stakeholder's need and rapid requirement for rapid acquisition."

Static deformation theory of elastoplastic structures can be applied only if the magnitude of loading is less than the plastic collapse force $F_c$. However, with impact or explosive blast loading, the structure can be subjected to an intense but short-duration force pulse that exceeds the plastic collapse force and initiates structural collapse. In this paper, the dynamic response of a rigid-perfectly plastic cantilever subject to intense impact loading is examined in terms of the plastic collapse force. When a step loading is applied, the motion of the beam is calculated and analyzed through the non-dimensionalization of variables. It is concluded that the motion of a beam can be characterized as a function of the nondimensionalized force parameter, $f{\equiv}F/F_c$, where $F_c$ represents the critical force for plastic collapse. This result is used to the analysis of the beam motion subject to rectangular force pulse.

In this paper, by using steel fiber, polypropylene fiber and these two hybrid fibers, the fire resistance performance and explosive properties of High Strength Concrete (HSC) with specified compressive strength of 40MPa are discussed. The paper also examines the bending resistance of the beam and the shearing resistance properties of non-reinforced HSC beam. This research helps to clarify the fire resistance of fiber HSC and its anti-explosion methods. The test results show that crack generation, explosion and carbonization can be effectively restrained when HSC is mixed with hybrid fibers under high temperature; furthermore, the maximum internal force and ductility are increased and the initial cracking can be restrained in the mechanical test.

In accordance with the rapid non-face-to-face environment and mobile first strategy, the explosive increase and creation of many structured/unstructured data every year demands new decision making and services using big data in all fields. However, there have been few reference cases of using the Hadoop Ecosystem, which uses the rapidly increasing big data every year to collect and load big data into a standard platform that can be applied in a practical environment, and then store and process well-established big data in a relational database. Therefore, in this study, after collecting unstructured data searched by keywords from social network services based on Hadoop 2.0 through three virtual machine servers in the Spring Framework environment, the collected unstructured data is loaded into Hadoop Distributed File System and HBase based on the loaded unstructured data, it was designed and implemented to store standardized big data in a relational database using a morpheme analyzer. In the future, research on clustering and classification and analysis using machine learning using Hive or Mahout for deep data analysis should be continued.

As non-face-to-face culture melts into people's daily lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic, interest in the metaverse has also increased significantly. There are several types of metaverse depending on the purpose of applications. With this recent explosive interest in the metaverse platform and demanding applications on it, there have been various contents for metaverse in progress in industries. However, developing such contents has many real problems since there is no valuable guidelines for metaverse contents development in industry. In this study, we aim to propose a development guideline that developers can refer to for game-type metaverse content by comparative analysis of existing contents among various metaverse types. In the development guideline, we derive common characteristic components of representative features for game-type metaverse platforms and give explanations on developing strategies. Such proposed development guidelines are verified by game-type metaverse field experts by survey.
