  • Recently, various engineering approaches have been widely used in the accident investigation field to identify the cause of the accident and to predict damage by accident. Computational analysis is the most commonly used method of accident investigation technique. This technique is mainly used to identify the mechanism of the accident generation and to determine the cause when it is difficult to reproduce the situation at the time of the accident or when it is impossible to perform a reproduction experiment. In this study, The computational fluid dynamics analysis for nitrogen asphyxiation accident generated by defect of building structural between diffusion outlet and cooling tower was performed to determine the inflow path of the suffocation gas, death possibility by concentration of suffocation gas and predicted the time of death due to the accident using 3D modeling and FLACS program. We can quantify diffusion concentration of asphyxiation gas and predict mechanism of death occurrence by accident and evaluate the consequence Analysis through this study. In the future, This method can be widely used in the field of gas safety by improving the reliability and validity of the analysis.

  • This paper presents a hardware development procedure of the ASB(Active Seat Belt) control system to comply with ISO 26262. The ASIL(Automotive Safety Integrity Level) of an ASB system is determined through the HARA(Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment) and the safety mechanism is applied to meet the reqired ASIL. The hardware architecture of the controller consists of a microcontroller, H-bridge circuits, passive components, and current sensors which are used for the input comparison. The required ASIL for the control systems is shown to be satisfied with the safety mechanism by calculation of the SPFM(Single Point Fault Metric) and the LFM(Latent Fault Metric) for the design circuits.

  • Dynamic dan loading and class linking of Java is a poweful mechanism. Many other system also support some form of dynamic loading and linking, but lazy loading, type-safe linkage, user-definable class loading policy, and multiple namespaces are important features of Java The ue U dan loading is assured of type safety. The security of Java greatly depends on type safety. In JVM, type safety mechanism is very difficult and access of accuracy is not dear, so type safety problems were raised. In paper, n analysis simple Java code and present a diagram graph and an operational semantics for dynamic class loading and type safety.

  • In case of security of IoT-based areas in ICBM industry, the anxiety about safety goes to extremes in public and national safety area, so that the demand for security service related to disaster/safety management is increasing. Like this, as a security service for safety, CCTVs are installed/operated for the purpose of maintenance of public order and crime prevention. Especially, as the recorded images are presented as crucial evidences of crimes, they are rapidly increasing. However, as adverse effects of CCTVs, it is highly possible to unintentionally leak personal information in the process of performing the original purpose, or to violate someone's privacy in case when such technologies are abused. Therefore, it would be necessary to have researches on the multilaterally-combined mechanism for the protection of image privacy.

  • Liquid fuel can be easily exploded and release more energy of detonation than conventional explosives because it has different explosion mechanism. In order to analyze dispersion characteristics of liquid fuel for the safety purpose, two tests are conducted. First, pre-test, which is a computer simulation, is carried out by a software called ANSYS AUTODYN to eliminate the effect of a canister that usually causes irregular dispersion of the fuel. Second, field test is performed to find out the amount and density effect of bursting charge. High speed cameras are installed in front of the canister to visualize the mechanism. Velocity, area and radius of the dispersed cloud are measured by image processing software, these are shown that the amount of bursting charge affects cloud velocity and area but density is not a significant factor of cloud formation.

  • Small Overlap test decided on IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) evaluates a robustness of the car body and a passenger injury protection. A current vehicle is satisfied with a robustness of the car body for Small Overlap test but not meet the requirements of passenger injuries because it is difficult to inquire into the actual state of injury mechanism for Small Overlap test. The study shows the new injury mechanism which represents the relation between a structure of the vehicle placed with the lift foot and the low extremity injury.

  • The protection system of the nuclear reactor and chemical reactor are representative of PPC(Plant Protection Controller). This PPC must be designed based on reliability as well as concept of safety, which is a failed system go a way of safe. PPC is consist of part of data acquisition, calculator, communication with redundancy, and a voter is important factor of reliability. Because it is serial connected. This paper presents a Design and Analysis of a Voting Mechanism considering Safety for NMR PPC Using EPLD. In the case of digital implementation a coincidence logic(voter) of PPC, it needs CPU and memory, so increase a number of units. Therefore the failure rate and cost is increased. On the contrary when it is designed EPLD or FPGA.

  • Workers maintaining at the railroad trackside may collide with the train since they cannot recognize the train approaching because of the sensory block phenomenon occurred due to their long hours of continued monotonous maintenance work. To reduce these casualty accidents of maintenance workers working at the trackside of railroad, we developed the wireless communication-based safety equipment for preventing accidents. The motor-cars for maintaining trackside facility have unique operational patterns suitable for urban environment. The several mechanism for developed safety equipment are represented in this paper.

  • Guaranteeing the safety of human workers around robots has become an important issue with the increasing demand for human-robot collaboration in industrial production lines. This study proposes a robot manipulator equipped with a counterbalancing mechanism that reduces the power of actuators required to drive the robot, thus keeping a human worker safer in a human-robot collaborative environment. A counterbalancing torque that exactly cancels out the gravitational torque in the proposed mechanism is generated by restoring the force of a spring in the counterbalancing mechanism. A prototype design and experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
