  • In this study, in terms of the exercise vehicles of the weapon systems having negative buoyancy, the analysis on the operation concepts was performed and the new methods of floating to surface were proposed. In case of having negative buoyancy, the additional methods for recovering the exercise vehicle have to be considered. As parts of recovering the exercise vehicle, for floating to surface the new methods of weight discharge, weight separation and sea water discharge were proposed. The conceptual design about sea water discharge method was performed. It was confirmed that those methods could be applied to the design of the exercise vehicle having negative buoyancy.

  • A two-dimensional zone-like model is developed to predict the interaction between hot gas layer and water droplets after sprinkler activation. The model combines the motion equations for each droplet with heat and mass transfer between the gas and water. The results indicate that negative buoyancy in the hot layer can only be obtained if the initial temperature profile is uniform. If an experimental profile Is used instead, positive buoyancy results. This conclusion has been confirmed with experimental data.

  • Consideration is given to the possibility to use changes in buoyancy as a negative reactivity feedback mechanism during temperature transients in heavy liquid metal fast reactors. It is shown that by the proper use of heavy pellets in the fuel elements, fuel rods could be endowed with a passive self-ejection mechanism and then with a negative feedback. A first estimate of the feasibility of the mechanism is calculated by using a simplified geometry and model. If in addition, a neutron poison pellet is introduced at the bottom of the fuel, then when the fuel element is displaced upward by buoyancy force, the reactivity will be reduced not only by disassembly of the core but also by introducing the neutron poison from the bottom. The use of induced buoyancy opens up the possibility of introducing greater amounts of actinides into the core, as well as providing a palliative solution to the problem of positive coolant temperature reactivity coefficients that could be featured by the heavy liquid metal fast reactors.

  • 본 연구는 부력가방의 익사사고 저감성능 분석에 관한 연구로서, 시민들은 레저 활동 및 물놀이 활동 시 부주의로 인하여 익사사고가 발생할 경우 119구조대나 타인의 구조활동만으로는 사고자 생존율이 저조하다고 할 수 있다. 이에 따라 수상 전문가들은 부력제품을 활용하여 익사사고를 줄이고, 시민은 일상용 휴대가방에 안전관리 기능을 추가한 부력가방을 평상시에 차량안이나 개인이 직접 휴대함으로써 본인의 생명과 위급한 상황에 봉착한 타인을 신속하게 구조할 수 있는 구명용 도구로 활용할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 부력가방은 편리성 안전성 지속성의 3가지 방재특성을 지니고 있으며, 서류 물품 등을 보관하는 편리성, 성인 1명 기준인 90 kg 무게를 띄울 수 있는 부력재를 내피 분산방식으로 처리한 안전성, 그리고 방수원단 및 방수지퍼 사용으로 장시간 안전을 유지하는 지속성 등을 갖춘 제품이다. 성능분석 결과 부력가방이 다른 구조장비와 비교해도 현장 간접 구조장비로 사용하는데 아무런 문제점이 없다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 부력성능과 디자인적인 측면만 더 보완하면 국민의 귀중한 생명을 보호하는데 많은 기여를 할 수 있을 것이다.

  • The CALEB10 is a multi-legged biomimetic underwater robot. In the last research, we developed a swimming pattern named ESPG (Extended Swimming Pattern Generator) by observing diving beetle's swimming actions and experimented with a positive buoyancy state in which CALEB10 floats on the water. In this paper, however, we have experimented with CALEB10 in a neutral buoyancy state where it is completely immersed in water for pitch motion control experiment. And we found that CALEB10 was unstably swimming in the pitch direction in the neutral buoyancy state and analyzed that the reason was due to the weight proportion of the legs. In this paper, we propose a pitch motion control method to mimic the pitch motion of diving beetles and to solve the problem of CALEB10 unstably swimming in the pitch direction. To control the pitch motion, we use the method of controlling additional joints while swimming with the ESPG. The method of obtaining propulsive force by the motion of the leg has a problem of giving propulsive force in the reverse direction when swimming in the surge direction, but this new control method has an advantage that a propulsive moment generated by a swimming action only on a target pitch value. To demonstrate validity this new control method, we designed a dynamics-based simulator environment. And the control performance to the target pitch value was verified through simulation and underwater experiments.

  • This paper is to propose the concept and performance of a gravity engine which could extract energy from sea or river as a clean. renewable and sustainable power. the vertical motion of the buoyancy cylinder of the present gravity engine is converted to the mechanical work directly without any hydraulic loss. The positive net energy between the imposed and harnessed one is achieved by the specific operating procedure. The detailed derivation of the energy balance is made based on the first principle of thermodynamics. The calculation demonstrates that the present gravity engine could harness more energy than the conventional turbine system in the same basin area because of the relatively high efficiency in the energy conversion system and added mass from the buoyancy cylinder.

  • 지하공간의 이용에 관심이 높아짐에 따라 지하구조물에 작용하는 수압에 대한 안전성 확보가 요구되고 있다. 국내에서는 이와 같은 지하수압을 제어하기 위한 방법으로 여러가지 부력방지공법을 사용하고 있으며, 그 중 최근 경제성과 시공성이 뛰어나고, 안정성이 좋은 연직배수공법을 도입하여 적용하고 있다. 그러나 현장에서 설계 시공되는 연직배수공법의 경우 수치해석에 의존하여 설계 시공되는 경우가 많아 실측적인 안정성 판단을 기대하기 힘들다. 이에 본 연구에서는 모형토조를 이용해 연직배수시스템을 설치하여 양압력을 측정하는 실험을 진행하였다. 실험에 의한 측정값과 수치해석값을 바탕으로 작용양압력을 비교·분석하여 현장적용이 가능한 기초자료로 사용하고자 한다.

  • Double-Skin Façade (DSF), which is a kind of passive indoor environmental control technique, is effective way to control environmental loads while maintaining the transparency especially in perimeter zone and hence the adoption example of DSF keep increasing recently. The objective of this study was to perform a field survey of air quality environment with natural ventilation through DSF and thermal environment within office building with six stories during a mild climate period in Japan. Moreover, to understand the comprehensive environmental performance of the target building, questionnaire survey was conducted to subjectively evaluate the productivity and satisfaction with the environmental factors in office space. In this field measurement, there was a positive correlation between the DSF internal ventilation flow and the amount of solar radiation on the DSF normal surface; the primary driving force for ventilation in the DSF was considered to be the buoyancy force caused by solar radiation. The results of questionnaire survey with regard to productivity level indicated the need for improvement in the thermal (temperature) and spatial environment (room size and furniture placement).

  • 복합레진이 개발된 이후 많은 물성의 향상이 이루어졌으나 복합레진의 중합수축은 아직 해결되지 않은 주요 단점으로 남아있다. 중합수축이 적은 복합레진을 만들기 위한 많은 노력이 이루어졌고, 최근에 기존의 methacrylate 기질이 아닌 silorane 기질의 복합레진이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 silorane 기질의 복합레진과 methacrylate 기질의 복합레진의 중합수축거동을 측정하고 비교하고자 하였다. 온도변화에 민감하지 않으며 실시간으로 복합레진의 체적 중합수축을 측정할 수 있는 계측장치를 제작하여 사용하였다. 5종의 methacrylate 기질의 수복용 복합레진(Beautifil, Z100, Z250, Z350, Gradia X)과 silorane 기질 복합레진 (P90)의 중합수축을 10분 동안 측정하여, 중합수축량, 최대 중합수축률 그리고 최대수축시간을 비교하였다. 복합레진의 중합수축은 제품별로 많은 차이를 보였다. Silorane 기질의 P90복합레진의 중합수축이 1.48%로 가장 낮았고 Beautifil 복합레진의 중합수축이 2.80%로 가장 높았다. Methacrylate 계열의 복합레진 사이에도 중합수축량에 제품별로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 최대 중합수축률은 P90이 0.13%/s로 가장 낮았고 Z100이 0.34%/s로 가장 높았다. 최대 수축시간은 methacrylate기질의 복합레진(2.4-3.1초)에 비해, silorane 기질의 P90 복합레진이 6.7초로 두 배 이상 길었다. 최대중합수축률은 중합수축과 최대수축시간의 역수를 곱한 값과 강한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(R = 0.95).

  • Spa represents a treatment widely used in many rheumatic diseases (RD). The mechanisms by which immersion in mineral or thermal water ameliorates RD are not fully understood. The net benefit is probably the result of a combination of factors, among which the mechanical, thermal and chemical effects are most prominent. Buoyancy, immersion, resistance and temperature play important roles. According to the gate theory, pain relief may be due to the pressure and temperature of the water on skin; heat may reduce muscle spasm and increase the pain threshold. Mud-bath therapy increases plasma ${\beta}$-endorphin levels and secretion of corticotrophin, cortisol, growth hormone and prolactin. It has recently been demonstrated that thermal mud-bath therapy induces a reduction in circulating levels of prostaglandin E2, leukotriene B4, interleukin-$1{\beta}$ and tumour necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, important mediators of inflammation and pain. Furthermore, balneotherapy has been found to cause an increase in insulin-like growth factor-1, which stimulates cartilage metabolism, and transforming growth factor-${\beta}$. Beneficial anti-inflammatory and anti-degenerative effects of mineral water were confirmed in chondrocytes cultures, too. Various studies in vitro and in humans have highlighted the positive action of mud-packs and thermal baths, especially sulphurous ones, on the oxidant/antioxidant system. Overall, thermal stress has an immunosuppressive effect. Many other non-specific factors may also contribute to the beneficial effects observed after spa therapy in some RD, including effects on cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. adipokines) and changes in the environment, pleasant surroundings and the absence of work duties.
