A Digital X-ray imaging system using Compton backscattering has been developed to obtain a cross-sectional profile and mass loss of corroded lap-splices of aging aircraft from density variation. A slit-type camera was designed to focus on a small scattering volume inside the material, from which the backscattered photons are collected by a collimated scintillator detector for interpretation of material characteristics. The cross section of the lap-joint is scanned by moving the scattering volume through the thickness direction of the specimen. The mass loss of each layer has been estimated from a Compton backscatter A-scan to obtain the thickness of each layer including the aluminum sheet, the corrosion layer and the sealant. Quantitative information such as location and width of planar corrosion in the lap splices of fuselages is obtained by deconvolution using a nonlinear least-square error minimization method(BFGS method): A simple reconstruction model is also introduced to overcome distortion of the Compton backscatter data due to attenuation effects attributed to beam hardening and quantum noise.

The dissociative recombination of O2+(v+)＋e-→O(1S)＋O(1D) has been theoretically investigated using the multichannel quantum defect theory (MQDT). Cross sections and rate coefficients at various electron energies are calculated. The resonant structures in cross section profile, which are hardly measurable in experiments, are also determined and the existence of Rydberg states is found to affect the rates. The theoretical rate coefficients are computed to be smaller than experimental ones. The reasons for this difference are explained. The two-step MQDT procedure is found to be very useful and promising in calculating the state-to-state rates of the dissociative recombination reaction which is a very important and frequently found phenomenon in Earth's ionosphere.

A field test was peformed to estimate the thermal performance of the forced convection electric air heater by the experiment. Air temperature, flow rate and electrical power input were measured with the related measurement sensors, and acquisition methods for the measured data were studied to effectively estimate the thermal performance of the tested air heater. To determine the mean air temperature at the flow cross-section, measuring positions were chosen by considering the flow velocity profile and the equally divided cross-sectional area. From the experimental results, thermal efficiency is obtained as an indication of the tested electric air heater performance.

2차원 카메라와 라인 레이저를 이용한 비접촉식 레일 마모도 측정 시스템은 레일의 정확한 마모도 측정을 위하여 레일에 조사된 레이저 영역을 왜곡 없이 획득하고 이를 레일 단면과 정확하게 일치시켜야 한다. 그러나 일반적인 비접촉식 레일 마모도 측정 시스템의 카메라는 레일의 측면에서 비스듬하게 레일을 촬영하여 사선방향(Oblique Viewpoint)의 원시영상을 획득하는 방식을 취하기 때문에 카메라 모델(Camera Model)과 투시 변환(Perspective Transform)을 이용하여 카메라로부터 획득한 원시영상이나 영상으로부터 추출된 레이저 영역의 좌표 데이터를 레일의 단면과 일치시키기 위한 영상 후처리 작업을 수행하게 된다. 이때 라인 레이저가 조사된 지점에서 획득한 레일 프로파일 데이터는 전체 측정 구간에 대하여 일정한 간격으로 측정된 불연속 데이터의 특성을 가지므로 측정된 각 레일 프로파일 데이터 사이의 영역에서는 정확한 레일의 마모도를 측정할 수 없는 한계를 가진다. 본 논문에서는 레일의 양방향에서 획득한 영상에 대하여 3차원 레일 프로파일 생성을 위한 변형된 카메라 모델과 투시 변환을 적용함으로서 레일 마모도의 측정 정밀도를 향상하기 위한 3차원 레일 프로파일 재구성 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 3차원 레일 프로파일 재구성 기법을 통하여 전체 측정 구간내에 포함된 레일 마모도 측정 데이터의 불연속성을 효과적으로 제거하여 연속적인 측정면(Measurement Surface)을 생성함으로서 측정하고자 하는 전체 레일에 대한 향상된 측정 정밀도를 제공하고자 한다.

The tidal discharge is defined as the quantity of water flowing through a certain cross-section per unit of time, in contrast to river discharges, tidal discharges change periodically in magnitude and direction. Thus the total volumes of water flowing into again out of the system-called flood volume and ebb volume, respectively, depend on both the tidal and the river discharges. To ditermine the tidal discharge and the flood and ebb volumes of the Yong-san river, the discharges were measured at spring, mean and neap tide and simultaneous gage reading were taken at Samhak-do, Lower Myo-do, Myongsan-ni and Naju. The general procedure for measuring the tidal discharges was as follows. First, several cross-sections were measured and one of them was chosen. First, several cross-sections were measured and one of them was chosen. Then verticals were serected in the chosen cross section. Because comparatively few verticals should be representative of the discharge distribution over the river profile, the selection was done in accordance with the somtimes irregular bottom profile. The velocities were measured with the same current meters. The observations which included water level readings were continued for a period of about 13 hours. The current direction meter, a pyramid shaped resistance body, suspend in the water on a thin wire. The bubble in a circular tilting level fixed to the wire indicates the direction of the current. Reading were taken at intervals of 1m for depths of 10m or less, and for depths over 10m at intervals of 2m, going downwards and upwards. The averages of the two velocities were used for the computation of the discharges. The discharges and the flood and ebb volumes were ditermined by a graphical method. The mean velocities, corrected for their direction when necesary, were ditermined for each time interval and each vertical, and these velocities were plotted against the time. The resulting curves show possible mistakes very clearly, and the effect of observation errors could be reduced. The corrected velocities read from the curve at half-hour intervals were multiplied by the depth at the virtical at the corresponding time. The discharges thus found were ploted against the position of the vertical in the transit and joined by a smooth curve, integration of the curve rendered the total discharges as they occurred of half-hour intervals. Plotting these total discharges against the time yeilded during the day. The flood and ebb volumes were obtained by integration of the total discharge curve.

This paper introduces a new two-step procedure for PWR depletion analyses. This procedure adopts the albedo-corrected parameterized equivalence constants (APEC) method to correct the lattice-based raw cross sections (XSs) and discontinuity factors (DFs) by accounting for neutron leakage. The intrinsic limitations of the conventional two-step methods are discussed by analyzing a 2-dimensional SMR with the commercial DeCART2D/MASTER code system. For a full-scope development of the APEC correction, the MASTER nodal code was modified so that the group constants can be corrected in the middle of a microscopic core depletion. The basic APEC methodology is described and color-set problems are defined to determine the APEC functions for burnup-dependent XS and DF corrections. Then the new two-step method was applied to depletion analyses of the SMR without thermal feedback, and its validity was evaluated in terms of being able to predict accurately the reactor eigenvalue and nodal power profile. In addition, four variants of the original SMR core were also analyzed for a further evaluation of the APEC-assisted depletion. In this work, several combinations of the burnup-dependent and -independent XS and DF corrections were also considered. The results show that the APEC method could enhance the nodal equivalence significantly with inexpensive additional costs.

본 연구는 현재 시판중인 $Profile^{(R)},\;ProTaper^{(R)},\;K3^{(R)},\;Hero\;642^{(R)},\;Hero\;Shaper^{(R)}$를 단면을 비교하고 이들 5가지 NiTi 파일과 사용방법에 따른 피로 파절 소요 시간을 비교하고자 시행되었다. 각 NiTi전동파일의 치근단 1/3을 temporary resin에 매몰시키고 다이아몬드 표면처리된 버로 잘라내어, 초음파를 이용하여 세척 후, 주사전자현미경으로 단면을 관찰하였다. 주기적인 피로 실험을 수행하기 위해, 회전속도, pecking 거리를 자동적으로 조절할 수 있는 장치를 제작하고 파일을 만곡된 상태를 재현하기 위하여 15도 경사진 금속 토막에 위치시키고 분당 300회전의 속도로 회전시켜 파일이 파절될 때까지의 시간을 측정하였다. 사용방법에 따른 실험군은 동적군과 정적군으로 나누고 pecking 거리는 3 mm, 6 mm로 하였다. 실험결과 동적군 보다는 정적군의 피로파절 소요시간이 통계학적으로 유의차 있게 짧았으며 3 mm, 6 mm의 pecking distance에 따른 영향은 나타나지 않았다. 결론적으로 NiTi전동파일은 pecking motion으로 사용하는 것이 피로파절을 줄이는데 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

In order to increase the extrusion production speed of aluminum, extrusion die cooling technology using liquid nitrogen has recently attracted a lot of attention. Increasing the extrusion speed increases the temperature of the bearing area of extrusion dies and the extrusion profile, which may cause defects on the surface of extruded profile. Extrusion die cooling technology is to directly inject liquid nitrogen through a cooling channel formed between the die and the backer inside the die-set. The liquid nitrogen removes heat from the die-set, and gaseous nitrogen at the exit of the channel, covers the extrusion profile of an inert atmosphere reducing the oxidation and the profile temperature. The aim of this study is to evaluate the cooling capacity by applying die cooling to extrusion of Al-Mn-based aluminum alloy flat tubes, and to investigate the effects of die cooling on the change in extrusion characteristics of flat tubes. Cooling capacity was confirmed by observing the temperature change of the extrusion profile depending on whether or not die cooling is applied. To observe changes in material characteristics due to die cooling, surface observation is conducted and microstructure and precipitate analysis are performed by FE-SEM on the surface and longitudinal cross section of the extruded flat tubes.

Fixed Electromagnetic Wave Surface Velocimetry (Fixed EWSV) has been started to be used to measure flood discharge in the mountain stream, since it has various advantages such that it works well to continuously measure stream discharge even in the night time as well as very strong weather. On the contrary, the Fixed EWSV only measures single point surface velocity, thus it does not consider varying feature of the transverse velocity profile in the given stream cross-section. In addition, a conventional value of 0.85 was generally used as the ratio for converting the measured surface velocity into the depth-averaged velocity. These aspects could bring in error for accurately measuring the stream discharge. The capacity of the EWSV for capturing rapid flow velocity was also not properly validated. This study aims at conducting error analysis of using the EWSV by: 1) measuring transverse velocity at multiple points along the cross-section to assess an error driven by the single point measurement; 2) figuring out ratio between surface velocity and the depth-averaged velocity based on the concurrent ADCP measurements; 3) validating the capacity of the EWSV for capturing rapid flow velocity. As results, the velocity measured near the center by the fixed EWSV overestimated about 15% of the cross-sectional mean velocity. The converting ratio from the surface velocity to the depth-averaged velocity was 0.8 rather than 0.85 of a conventional ratio. Finally, the EWSV revealed unstable velocity output when the flow velocity was higher than 2 m/s.
