In accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code Sec.XI Appendix. G, a postulated crack is located at the beltline of a reactor pressure vessel because the neutron flux at the beltline is higher than elsewhere. This means that the distance between the core and the semi-spherical bottom head is longer than the distance between the core and the cylindrical beltline. However, several Small and Medium sized Reactors have bottom heads with diverse shapes, including dished or semi-elliptical shapes, to satisfy the requirement and performance. So, the aim of this paper is to evaluate the effect of crack location on Pressure-Temperature limit curve. To do this, two types of postulated crack location, such as beltline and semi-elliptical bottom head, were adopted to derive the Pressure-Temperature limit curve. Also, parametric studies for neutron flux, crack shape and so on were performed. As a result, core critical temperature of semi-elliptical bottom head is found to higher than that of beltline even when they have same values of thickness and neutron flux. This result will be useful to enhance the understanding of Pressure-Temperature limit curve.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of the change of cap hole diameter and pressure on the travelling distance and the sprayed particle size for the medium range nozzle. The results of this study are summarized as follows; 1) The effective travelling distance was about from 1 meter to 8 meters and centro-position of the travelling distance was about 3 or 5 meters. 2) Main effect of change of cap hole diameter for the travelling distance was a slight convex quadratic curve. 3) Main effect of change of pressure increased linearly, its increasing rate about 1.6 was large. 4) Sizes of sprayed particles were less than 250${\mu}$ generally and the sizes decreased according to the increasing of travelling distance. 5) Changes of diameter of sprayed particles by cap hole diameter increased in accordance with increasing of cap hole diameter. 6) Changes of diameter of sprayed particles by the groove depth of swirl plate was very slight.

The standard master curve (MC) approach has the major limitation because it is only applicable to homogeneous datasets. In nature, materials are macroscopically inhomogeneous and involve scatter of fracture toughness data due to various deterministic material inhomogeneity and random inhomogeneity. RPV(reactor pressure vessel) steel has different fracture toughness with varying distance from the inner surface of the wall due to cooling rate in manufacturing process; deterministic inhomogeneity. On the other hand, reference temperature, $T_0$, used in the evaluation of fracture toughness is acting as a random parameter in the evaluation of welding region; random inhomogeneity. In the present paper, four regions, the surface, 1/8T, 1/4T and 1/2T, were considered for fracture toughness specimens of KSNP (Korean Standard Nuclear Plant) SA508 Gr. 3 steel to investigate deterministic material inhomogeneity and random inhomogeneity. Fracture toughness tests were carried out for four regions and three test temperatures in the transition region. Fracture toughness evaluation was performed using the bimodal master curve (BMC) approach which is applicable to the inhomogeneous material. The results of the bimodal master curve analyses were compared with that of conventional master curve analyses. As a result, the bimodal master approach considering inhomogeneous materials provides better description of scatter in fracture toughness data than conventional master curve analysis. However, the difference in the $T_0$ determined by two master curve approaches was insignificant.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the gas leakage for a 30-inch ball valve. The ball valve was designed and manufactured for a natural gas transportation through a long-distance pipeline mainly installed in the permafrost region. The gas leakage assessment is based on the pressure testing criteria of international standards. Pressure conditions of the gas leakage test was employed 70 bar, 100 bar, and 110 bar. The amount of the gas leakage at each pressure condition was small and had a value under the pressure testing criteria, ISO 5208. Gas leakage with respect to the test pressure was predicted by the polynomial curve fitting using the experimental results. It is found that the gas leakage rate according to the pressure is proportion to a second order curve.

본 논문에서는 폭발해석에서 주로 사용되는 폭발하중의 압력-시간 이력곡선과 폭발하중 산정식인 Conwep 모델을 소개하고, 이를 더욱 간편하게 계산할 수 있는 간략 폭발하중 산정식을 제안한다. 폭발해석에서 폭발하중은 일반적으로 압력-시간 이력곡선의 형태로 적용되며, 그에 대한 주요 값들은 폭발하중 산정식에 의해 계산된다. 대부분의 폭발해석에서 사용되는 폭발하중 산정식인 Conwep 모델은 환산거리(scaled distance)를 핵심변수로 하여 계산되는데, 그 계산 과정이 매우 복잡한 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 환산거리를 변수로 갖는 간략한 유리식을 사용하여 주요 값들을 계산하고, 단순화된 압력-시간 이력곡선으로 폭발하중을 산정할 수 있도록 제안하였다. 간략식을 찾는 과정에서 Conwep 모델의 계산 결과를 바탕으로 곡선 적합(curve fitting) 방식이 사용되었으며, 제안된 간략식에 의한 주요 값의 계산 결과는 Conwep 모델과 비교하여 1% 미만의 오차를 갖는다. 또한, 유한요소를 이용한 폭발해석에 적용하였으며 Conwep 모델을 적용한 결과와 비교를 통해 검증하였다.

공기를 통해 이동하는 폭발파에 의한 압력 및 압력에 의해 지표 및 지하구조물에 미치는 영향을 이해하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 폭발의 충격이 구조물에 미치는 영향을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션하기 위해서는 시간과 거리에 따른 압력의 변화를 결정하여야 한다. 기존의 연구를 통해 압력의 변화와 관련되는 인자들을 추정하기 위한 여러 경험식들이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 최대압력, 양압지속기간, 임펄스, 최소음압, 음압지속기간, 폭발파 도착시간과 감쇠상수를 예측하는 경험식들을 조사 분석하였으며 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 Kingery 경험식과 다른 경험식에 의한 압력 변화를 비교하였다.

To study the influences of tunneling on the earth pressure and ground settlement when the tunnel passes through the adjacent underground retaining structure, 30 two-dimensional model tests were carried out taking into account the ratios of tunnel excavation depth (H) to lateral width (w), excavation width (B), and excavation distance using a custom-made test device and an analogical soil. Tunnel crossing adjacent existing retaining structure (TCE) and tunnel crossing adjacent newly-built retaining structure (TCN) were simulated and the earth pressure variations and ground settlement distribution during excavation were analyzed. For TCE condition, the earth pressure increments, maximum ground settlement and the curvature of the ground settlement curve are negatively related to H/B, but positively related to H/s and H/w. For TCN condition, most trends are consistent with TCE except that the earth pressure increments and the curvature of ground settlement curve are negatively related to H/w. The maximum ground settlement is larger than that observed in tunnel crossing the existing underground structure. This study provides an assessment basis for the design and construction under confined space conditions.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the usefulness of clinical balance tests through the correlation of balance evaluation using by forceplate in elderly. Methods : Thirty nine healthy elderly subjects (14 males, 25 females) participated in the study. The subjects were evaluated with clinical balance tests [(Berg balance scale (BBS), Functional reach test (FRT), Tinetti's performance oriented mobility assessment (POMA), and one leg standing (OLS)]. Static balance evaluation was assessed by using forceplate. Center of pressure (COP) parameters were obtained using it as total path distance, total sway area, X mean frequency and Y mean frequency for 20 seconds in the following conditions: (1) comfortable standing with eyes opened and closed, (2) uncomfortable standing with eyes opened and closed. After static balance evaluation tested, dynamic balance evaluation was assessed. COP parameters were error distance and area during sine curve trace. COP parameters were movement time, error distance, and maintained time in the circle during COP movement task. Results : Clinical balance tests showed statistically significant correlation between static and dynamic balance evaluations. Among the clinical balance tests, the BBS, POMA, and OLS showed significant correlation with to assess the balance ability of elderly in clinical setting both evaluations. Conclusion : Clinical balance tests can be recommended in clinical setting because of low costs and simplicity.

C-axis oriented zinc oxide thin films were deposited on glass substrate by reactive Facing Targets Sputtering (FTS) system. The characteristics of zinc oxide thin films on power, inter targets distance, and substrate temperature were investigated by XRD(x-ray diffractometer), alphastep (Tencor) analyses. The Facing Targets Sputtering system can deposit thin film in plasma-free situation and change the deposition condition in wide range. The excellently c-axis oriented zinc oxide thin films were obtained at sputter pressure 1mTorr, sputtering current 0.4A, substrate temperature $300^{\circ}C$, inter targets distance 100mm. In the conditions, the rocking curve of zinc oxide thin films deposited on ZnO/Glass was $3.9^{\circ}$.
