The seismic qualification for the class 1E battery of Korea Multipurpose Research Reactor was accomplished by the analysis as well as testing. The full rack consists of 4 similar sections of typical frame structure and contains 60 cells. However, since the seismic qualification was required on the frame structure and only on 3 aged ones among 60 dells, 2 sections of the full rack were assembled as a test rack with 28 cells including the 3 aged cells for an economic test. Seismic analysis for the full rack was carried out using the finite element program ANSYS. The modal parameters identified from the resonance search thest on the test rack were used to the seismic analysis of the full rack. It was confirmed that the test rack could represent the full rack with regards to seismic responses and function of cells, and that the full rack and aged cells were qualified to the given seismic test requirements.

The statistics of recent accidents in warehouses show that a heavy toll of lives were produced by various accidents, e.g. collision, overturn, fall, slip, exposure to harmful substances or environments, etc. Of significant concern amongst them is the collision, especially the collision between forklift and storage rack structure. Accordingly, this study focuses on behavioral characteristics of rack structure subjected to dynamic impact loading of a forklift. For this purpose, time-domain response analysis has been performed on a standard 2-bay six-story rack structure consisting of columns, beams and bracing members with perforated open section. In order to investigate the most critical scenario, the impact loads are applied in both down-aisle and cross-aisle directions, and the impact locations are also varied along the shelves of the palettes. In order to deal with storage distributions, three types of rack structures are further taken into account: original empty rack structure with no storage, half-loaded rack structure and fully-loaded rack structure. The numerical simulation results demonstrate that the dynamic characteristics of the rack structure are significantly dependent on the distribution of the storage goods and its natural period varies from 0.24sec to 1.06sec, approximately 4.4 times. Further, the parametric studies show that the forklift impact is most critical to the safety of the rack structure when it collides either at the base or at the top of the rack structure.

랙크 내 설치되는 차단막은 초기 화재확산을 지연시키는데 큰 역할을 담당하고 있으나 소화를 목적으로 설치되는 천장형 스프링클러의 입장에서는 소화수의 원활한 공급에 장애물로서 비춰질 수도 있다. 이에 In-Rack 스프링클러와 차단막을 동시에 적용하는 방법 등이 제시되고 있으나 차단막의 설치조건에 따른 화재확산 지연성능 및 In-Rack 스프링클러에 미치는 영향 등에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 축소모델 화재실험을 통해 차단막의 설치조건에 따른 화재확산 지연성능과 In-Rack 스프링클러에 미치는 영향 등을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 랙크 내에 수평과 수직 차단막을 동시에 설치한 경우, 4배 이상의 화재확산 지연성능이 발휘되는 것을 확인하였으며, 구획화로 인한 구획 내 온도 상승 또한 약 2~3배 가량 높은 것으로 나타나 In-Rack 스프링클러가 조기에 작동될 수 있도록 유도하는 긍정적인 효과 또한 존재하는 것으로 나타났다.

A rack-type warehouse has the advantage of storing a large amount in a small area by loading goods vertically. But in terms of fire risk, the fire load is very high, which can cause massive damage in the event of a fire. In the United States, research has been actively conducted to minimize the spread of vertical fires, and relevant standards have been established and operated. In Korea, research and related standards are insufficient to prevent the vertical spread of rack-type warehouse fires. In this study, an experimental study was conducted to prevent the vertical spread of a rack-type warehouse fire using a horizontal barrier and in-rack sprinklers. As a result of the test, the horizontal barrier considering the continuous flame prevented the vertical spread of the flame for a certain time. However, the horizontal barrier with continuous flame did not show the effect of preventing continuous flame. The combination of the horizontal barrier and the in-rack sprinkler prevented the vertical spread of fire effectively. In addition, the heat collecting effect through the horizontal barrier was shown and helped the early operation of the in-rack sprinklers.

Rack-level DC power supply is the optimal technology for providing DC power to a volume server without any power infrastructure changes in an existing AC data center. In this paper, we propose a smartly controllable and monitorable DC rack power system. The proposed system improves power efficiency by changing the power distribution architecture of a conventional method in the rack. We developed an optimal power control method in multipower modules to provide high efficiency at low loads. In addition, the proposed system provides real-time web monitoring of the rack power and environment around a rack. In our experiments, the proposed system improved the power efficiency by over 10% compared to an AC power system providing N+1 redundant power and power monitoring.

The objective of this study was to understand which type of fire hose should be placed in indoor fireplug box upon analyzing the preparation time between rack-type fire hose and reel-type one. With respect to the type of hose, rack-type stacking method was used and hose preparation time was measured with 5 times of repeat test, separating men and women. Study results reveal that preparation time of reel-type fire hose took longer than that of rack-type one in both men and women. For both rack-type hose and reel-type hose, preparation time by two persons took shorter than that by one man. Also, preparation time by three persons took shorted than that by two women. Preparation time for both rack-type hose and reel-type one by men took shorter than that by women. In summary, it was confirmed that rack-type hose could be prepared within shorter time than reel-type one. Since the size of drum set in the reel-type fire hose is relatively small, it had some difficulty in preparation of fire hose timely.

적재밀도가 높으며 수직적인 적재형태를 가지는 랙크식 창고는 화재발생 시 그 피해가 매우 심각하다. 이에 미국, 일본에서는 자국의 랙크식 창고 실정에 맞는 In-Rack 스프링클러 및 수평차단막 등을 적용하여 화재확산을 최소화하는데 노력하고 있으나 국내의 경우, 그와 관련한 연구 및 제도가 전무한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 발화위치 및 수평차단막 설치간격에 따른 화재특성 확인을 위해 국내 랙크식 창고 실정을 반영한 표준랙크를 대상으로 축소모델 화재시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 수평차단막의 설치간격을 밀접하게 또는 빈번하게 할수록 약 30%씩의 수직 화재확산 억제성능이 발휘되는 것을 확인하였다. 아울러 수평차단막을 경계로 상하부의 온도를 측정한 결과, 차단막이 설치된 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 온도분포가 약 2~4배 이상 높은 것으로 나타나 수평차단막의 설치가 In-Rack 스프링클러의 조기 작동에 도움을 줄 것으로 판단된다.

An open rack vaporizer is a facility that vaporizes liquefied natural gas using sea water. When a vaporization efficiency of the open rack vaporizer decreases, liquefied natural gas can leak, which can cause great damage to the facility. Operators have to monitor the operation state of the facility in real-time to prevent the accident. However, operators have visited the site and have checked the state by looking at the value of sensors installed in the open rack vaporizer through indicators. For the safe operation of the open rack vaporizer, a monitoring system is needed to monitor the operation state of the open rack vaporizer in real-time without the need for operators to visit the site. In this paper, we developed a long term evolution based monitoring system to monitor the operation state of the open rack vaporizer. The developed system can monitor the real-time operation state of the open rack vaporizer at a control center far from the facility. For the system development, data transmission infrastructure using long term evolution was built. Afterwards a software was developed to monitor the operation state of the open rack vaporizer in real-time using the transmitted data. Finally, performance evaluation was conducted to confirm that the developed system operated successfully without data transmission delay or data missing.

Cam rack pinion (CRP) system which consists of cam rack and roller pinion transforms the rotation motion into linear one. The roller pinion has the plurality of rollers and meshes with its conjugated cam rack. The exact tooth profile of the cam rack and the non-undercut condition to satisfy the required performance have been proposed by introducing the profile shift coefficient. The load stress factors are investigated by varying the shape design parameters to predict the gear surface fatigue limit which is strongly related to the gear noise and vibration at the contact patch. The results show that the pitting life can be extended significantly by increasing the profile shift coefficient.

This paper considers two linear drive systems using roller gear mechanism(RGM), one is the RRP(roller rack pinion) system that consists of a roller rack and a cam pinion, the other is the CRP(cam rack pinion) system that consists of a cam rack and a roller pinion. Through the comparison of contact forces and load-stress factors between two linear drive systems, it reveals that the RRP system is superior to the CRP system in the aspect of the bending strength, while the CRP system has higher contact fatigue resistance than that of the RRP system.
