The determination of the blast protection level and the corresponding minimum load-bearing capacity for a laminated glass (LG) window is of crucial importance for safety and security design purposes. In this paper, the focus is given to the window response under near-field blast loading, i.e., where relatively small explosives would be activated close to the target, representative of attack scenarios using small commercial drones. In general, the assessment of the load-bearing capacity of a window is based on complex and expensive experiments, which can be conducted for a small number of configurations. On the other hand, nowadays, validated numerical simulations tools based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) are available to partially substitute the physical tests for the assessment of the performance of various LG systems, especially for the far-field blast loading. However, very little literature is available on the LG window performance under near-field blast loads, which differs from far-field situations in two points: i) the duration of the load is very short, since the blast wavelength tends to increase with the distance and ii) the load distribution is not uniform over the window surface, as opposed to the almost plane wave configuration for far-field configurations. Therefore, the current study focuses on the performance assessment and structural behaviour of LG windows under near-field blasts. Typical behavioural trends are investigated, by taking into account possible relevant damage mechanisms in the LG window components, while size effects for target LG windows are also addressed under a multitude of blast loading configurations.

Sport has no age limit and can be done anywhere and in any condition with minimal equipment. The existence of sports spaces in all parts of the world is considered a citizen's right. One of the activities carried out in this field is installing sports equipment and structures in parks and encouraging citizens to use this equipment for physical health with the least cost and facilities. Installing sports structures in open spaces such as parks is a practical step for developing citizens' sports. Although using devices in parks is acceptable, it is more critical to meet scientific and technical standards. The components of these structures must have high strength and endurance against changes in environmental conditions such as humidity, temperature difference, and corrosion. Among the various causes of material degradation, corrosion has always been one of several fundamental causes of metal equipment failure. Sports structures in open spaces are not safe from corrosion. Uniform corrosion is the most common type of corrosion. This corrosion usually occurs uniformly through a chemical or electrochemical reaction across the surface exposed to the corrosive environment. Rust and corrosion of outdoor sports structures are examples of this corrosion. For this reason, in this research, with the green synthesis of silica nanoparticles and its application in outdoor sports structures, the life span of these structures can be increased for the use of physical exercises as well as their quality.

For producing iron or steel products with good quality, the concentration of the material components should be analyzed quickly with high relability using XRF(Fluorescent X-Ray Spectrometer). Since the analysis results are much dependent upon the surface con- dition, the samples have to be prepared to have good test condition. This study presents an image processing system for inspecting the surface condition of the iron test sample. In order to use thd computer vision system, we need to develop a lighting device and image processing algorithm. For the adequate lighting device of inspection system, the indirect lighting device is contrived to cut the external light and provide uniform, stable and cold light. The image processing algorithm is aimed to reduce inspection time and to get similar analyzing results to those of the experienced operators. At first, the image processing algorithm checks whether the surface of the iron sample is ground well or not. Then, the defects; hole or dig are conted and surface condition is evaluated. In addition, the algorithm gives the reliability of the analyzing results in order to help operator's decision.

In this paper, the process of extruding Cu-10Fe alloy using a finite element analysis (FEA) was theoretically analyzed. To achieve this, the dependence of strain rate and temperature of the alloy required for the extrusion process was secured by utilizing databases for Cu and Fe and the KHL model. For microstructure analysis, FE-SEM with EDS was used to distinguish the phases present in Cu-10Fe alloy. The mechanical characteristics of Cu-10Fe alloy were secured using the results of fitting the mechanical properties of Copper and Steel from the Deform database to the KHL model. The deformation behavior within the alloy during hot extrusion was analyzed, providing insights into effective stress, effective strain, effective strain rate, and temperature. It was observed that the strain distribution was non-uniform. These research findings contribute to an improved understanding of the hot extrusion process of Cu-10Fe alloy and can aid in predicting the mechanical properties of the material.

Hydrogen has emerged as an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. However, the utilization of hydrogen requires high-pressure compression, storage, and transportation, which poses challenges to the durability of compressor components, particularly the diaphragm. This study aims to improve the durability of 304 stainless steel diaphragms in hydrogen compressors by optimizing their surface roughness and corrosion resistance through wet etching. The specimens were prepared by immersing 304 stainless steel in a mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, followed by etching in hydrochloric acid for various durations. The surface morphology, roughness, and wettability of the etched specimens were characterized using optical microscopy, surface profilometry, and water contact angle measurements. The friction and wear characteristics were evaluated using reciprocating sliding tests. The results showed that increasing the etching time led to the development of micro/nanostructures on the surface, thereby increasing surface roughness and hydrophilicity. The friction coefficient initially decreased with increasing surface roughness owing to the reduced contact area but increased during long-term wear owing to the destruction and delamination of surface protrusions. HCl-30M exhibited the lowest average friction coefficient and a balance between the surface roughness and oxide film formation, resulting in improved wear resistance. These findings highlight the importance of controlling the surface roughness and oxide film formation through etching optimization to obtain a uniform and wear-resistant surface for the enhanced durability of 304 stainless steel diaphragms in hydrogen compressors.

가압경수로의 일차계통 제염을 위해 개발된 HYBRID 제염제의 재료부식 특성을 틈부식 시험방법을 사용하여 수행하였다. 기존 제염제의 부식특성과 비교하기 위하여 상용 제염제인 OA, CITROX 제염제의 부식특성도 함께 평가하였다. 시험재료는 가압경수로의 일차계통의 주 재료인 Alloy 600과 304 SS을 대상으로 시험하였다. 틈부식 시험은 가혹조건의 부식시험으로써 내식성이 강한 원전 구조재료의 건전성을 짧은 시간에 잘 확인할 수 있었다. 시험결과 OA와 CITROX 제염제에서는 crevice 시편 표면에 pitting과 IGA가 나타났으나 HYBRID 제염제에서는 국부부식이 전혀 발생되지 않았다. 무게감소 측정결과 HYBRID 제염조건에서는 $1.3{\times}10^{-3}{\mu}m/h$ 이하의 매우 낮은 부식속도를 나타내었다. 반면에, OA 제염제의 경우 Alloy 600은 $4.0{\times}10^{-2}{\mu}m/h$ 로 비교적 균일한 부식율을 나타내었으나, 304 SS의 경우 pH = 2.0 이하에서 급격한 가속부식을 나타내었다. HYBRID 제염제의 경우 일반부식에서뿐만 아니라 crevice 부식조건에서도 거의 부식이 일어나지 않아 PWR 계통제염 시 산화막 용해 후 제염제가 계통재료에 노출되어도 재료의 건전성이 입증되었다.

이동 객체의 검출은 다양한 영상 감시 응용에 필수적인 중요한 기술이다. 그런데 이동 객체 검출 결과로 얻어진 전경 영상에는 그림자에 의한 색상 변화가 전경 영역으로써 함께 검출되는 경우가 쉽게 발생하며, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 이동 객체 검출은 흔히 그림자 제거와 함께 수행된다. 대부분의 그림자 제거 방법은 조명 변화발생시 색상의 조도 성분만 변화하며 색도 성분은 유지된다는 가정에 기반하여 색도 성분을 분리하여 표현하는 다양한 색상 공간을 통해 그림자 제거를 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 색도 성분을 분리하는 색상 공간 가운데 그림자 제거에 가장 적합한 색상 공간을 선택하고자 다양한 색상 공간 (YCbCr, HSI, 정규화된 rgb, Yxy, Lab, c1c2c3)을 비교하였다. 과거 그림자 제거에 있어서 다양한 색상 공간의 성능을 비교한 몇몇 연구가 있었으나, 기존 연구들은 각 논문에서 제안한 특정 그림자 제거 방법에 다양한 색상 공간을 적용하거나 임의의 임계값을 이용하여 각 색상 공간의 성능을 비교하였기 때문에, 각 색상 공간에서 조명 변화 발생에 따른 색상 왜곡을 정확히 측정하기 어려운 문제가 있었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기존 연구의 문제점을 피하고 각 색상 공간을 정확하게 비교하기 위하여 1) 서로 다른 조명 조건에 노출된 동일한 색상을 갖는 면의 경계에서 색도 성분의 기울기 값을 측정함으로서 조명 변화 발생 시 색도 성분의 변화 정도를 비교하였으며, 2) RoC 곡선을 통하여 임계치 설정의 문제를 피하면서 배경 제거 정확도를 비교하였다. 실험을 통하여 YCbCr 색상 공간과 정규화된 rgb 색상 공간이 비교대상으로 선택된 여러 색상 공간 가운데 가장 좋은 성능을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

Recently, culture of Undaria pinnatifida, one of the representative esculent sea weed, has been prevailing in tile east and south coasta of Korea and reached the mass culture stage. In this study, compositional quality factors for food were studied and the contributory effects of blanching and pigment fixatives in the quality retention of cultured Undaria pinnatifida are discussed. When the place and time of harvesting were the same, cultured pinnatifida showed scarce difference in the chemical composition comparing to tile naturally grown Undaria pinnatifida, but cultured Undaria pinnatifida shelved a considerable difference depending upon the cultured places. In the chemical composition of Undaria pinnatifida, the alginic acid comprising about $40\%$ of the whole solid materials seemed to be responsible for the compositional puality. The chlorophyll and carotenoid content of the clutured Unaria pinnatifida were considerably lower than that of the naturally grown Undaria pinnatifida and wass inferior in puality by color to the naturally grown one. Dried Undaria pinnatifida contained a considerable amount of amino-N, mannitol, and soluble minerals and it is considered that these components play a great role in the relish effects. It could also be evaluated as a good albuminous source for food science the dried pinnatifida contains about $18\%$ of crude protein. In the analysis of free amino acid composition of dried Undaria pinnatifida, the naturally growm samples showed so what higher levels in all amino acid content than the cultured samples. The contents of theronine, alanine, and glutamic acid were major in quantity wherease histidine cysteine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine were minor. The contents of such amino acids like serine and proline were particularly low or undetectable. The results of amino acid analysis of the acid hydrolysates of dried Undaria pinnatifida in quantity of individual amino acid showed te same pattern as that of free amino acid. It is noticed that Undaria pinnatifida seemed to contain good quality protein since the contents of essential amino acids were considerably higher and uniform. By blanching the fresh sample, the water soluble components brought about cousiderable loss, and, particularly, it was noteworthy that both mannitol and soluble minerals apparently decreased. In the pigment analysis of the dried sample, blanching was effective to retain chlorophyll and carotenoid. The addition of pigment fixatives in blanching solution such as Ca-gluconate, Ca-carbonate, and Ca-hydroxide did not exhibit much effect on the pigment retention except that Ca-carbonate shelved some effect only in the early stage of storage.
