Steam turbine blades and discs of nuclear power plants are one of the most highly stressed areas of turbine rotor, and periodic inspection of the blade roots is essential for monitoring integrity and preventing turbine failure. Ultrasonic technique is applied for volumetric inspection of blade root. However, the complexity of blade root geometry imposes challenges to inspection of blades and discs. Recently, phased array ultrasonic inspection technology is being applied to numerous power generation inspection applications including turbine rotor. The phased array ultrasonic technique requires customized inspection wedges which are generally necessary to generate effectively higher incident angle. But the usage of this wedge can cause access limitation for the lower stage blades of turbine because of the wedge front length. Therefore, the shear wave phased array probe which can generate high inspection angle without wedge is essentially necessary. In this study, feasibility study is conducted for the shear wave phased array ultrasonic probe application to blade and disc inspection. As results, the experimental results show that the shear wave phased array probe can detect the flaw and measure its size with reliable accuracy. Therefore if this shear wave phased array probe is applied to field inspection of blade and disc, more reliable inspection is expected for turbine having access limitation.

The goal of radiation treatment planning is to deliver the dose to the patient within $5\%$ of that prescribed. We have often encountered the situation that the area which have not only several irregular contours but also tissue heterogeneities should be treated. With conventional devices such as wedges, missing tissue compensator. there are some limitations to achieve the uniform dose distribution in treatment volume. The use of CT simulator, 3-D planning system, computer-controlled milling machine enables it to deliver the dose uniformally. This report includes the whole procedure which have patient data acquisition 3D planning, computer-controlled milling, performance verification of 3D compensator, and TLD evaluation. We applied it for the treatment of head and heck cancer only. In Spite of the irregular contour and different electron density of tessue, we have achieved the uniformity of the dose distribution within ${\pm}3\%$ relatively. Although there are some problems which are not only verification of performance but uncertainties of using the new treatment device, we believe that the improvement of dosimetry will eliminate the uncertainties of that application. so the other lesions besides head and neck can will be ale to use the 3D compensator to achieve the dose uniformity

최근, 국내 탄광의 안전성이 향상되고 있으나 사고는 꾸준히 발생하고 있다. 대부분의 터널 지보는 I빔과 I빔을 연결하는 이음판 부분에서 지압을 견디지 못하고 파손이 발생한다. XX 탄광의 경우, 터널지보의 아치부가 일반적인 굽힘 거동이 아닌, 위쪽 방향으로 굽힘이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 경우는 터널지보에 수직하중 이외에 수평하중이 과대하게 작용하는 경우로 볼 수 있으며 이러한 수평하중은 지하암반의 급격한 변화에 의한 암반의 이완범위의 증가나 지하수의 누출 등으로 인한 수리학적인 요인 등의 복합적인 문제가 작용하여 나타난다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 위쪽 방향으로 굽힘을 일으키는 수평하중의 크기를 추정하기 위하여 실험계획법과 최적화 알고리듬을 적용하여 터널지보의 굽힘거동을 규명하였다.

In this study, hole-boss locking washers were developed to prevent vibrational loosening, and a benchmark test was conducted to compare these washers with existing wedge locking washers, which are imported and high-priced. The developed washers consist of an upper washer with bosses and a lower washer with holes, and the bosses are caught in the holes so that the bolt is not loosened. Additionally, the top side of the upper washer and the underside of the lower washer have small wedges perpendicular to the direction of the bolt loosening, suppressing slips. A test by the Korea Test Laboratory indicated that the ratio of the loosening torque to the joining torque is greater than 70%, confirming that the developed washers have a sufficiently high anti-loosening performance. A Junker test apparatus was manufactured for the testing of vibrational loosening and a test comparison between the proposed washers and the existing wedge locking washers shows that the proposed washers have a slower reduction in the clamping force and a higher loosening-resistance in a vibrational circumstance compared with the wedge locking washers. These results indicate that the developed washers demonstrate a high performance and boast price competitiveness.

It has been noted that Monte Carlo simulations are the most accurate method to calculate dose distributions in any material and geometry. Monte Carlo transport algorithms determine the absorbed dose by following the path of representative particles as they travel through the medium. Accurate Monte Carlo dose calculations rely on detailed modeling of the radiation source. We modeled the effects of beam modifiers such as collimators, blocks, wedges, etc. of our accelerator, Varian Clinac 600C/D to ensure accurate representation of the radiation source using the EGSnrc based BEAM code. These were used in the EGSnrc based DOSXYZ code for the simulation of particles transport through a voxel based Cartesian coordinate system. Because Monte Carlo methods use particle-by-particle methods to simulate a radiation transport, more particle histories yield the better representation of the actual dose. But the prohibitively long time required to get high resolution and accuracy calculations has prevented the use of Monte Carlo methods in the actual clinical spots. Our ultimate aim is to develop a Monte Carlo dose calculation system designed specifically for radiation therapy planning, which is distinguished from current dose calculation methods. The purpose of this study in the present phase was to get dose calculation results corresponding to measurements within practical time limit. We used parallel processing and some variance reduction techniques, therefore reduced the computational time, preserving a good agreement between calculations of depth dose distributions and measurements within 5% deviations.

기하 광학(GO)의 반복에 의한 회절파 계산을 제안하였다. 쐐기형 산란체에 전원이 주어졌을때, 그 GO해는 반공간 문제의 해에 명암 경계를 결정하여 얻어진다. 또한, 이러한 GO해의 명암경계를 따라 나타나는 불연소계와 등가인 전원을 계산하여 이를 그 전원으로 하는 새로운 쐐기문제를 생각할 수 있다. 이때, 이 등가전원 문제의 해가 바로 GO해가 필료로 하는 회절파와 같음을 보였다. 또한, 등가전원이 무한공간에서 만드는 파 즉 새로운 쐐기문제이 입사파는 물리광학으로 계산한 회절파와 같은 것임을 보였다. 새로운 쐐기문제에 다시 GO를 적용하여 회절파에 대한 하나의 근사해를 얻었으며 이것을 물리광학에 의한 것과 비교하였다. 또한, 이와 같은 GO반복 적용의 타당성을 보기 위하여 정확한 해가 이미알려져 있는 완전도체쐐기의 GO무한 반복해를 구하여 그 수렴여부를 살폈다.

본 연구는 선박을 이용한 핫코일 화물의 안전하고 효과적인 운송 방법에 관하여 다루고 있다. 기하학적으로 불안정한 화물인 핫코일을 양측에서 쐐기로 지지함으로써 안전성을 지켜주는 카세트(cassette)를 활용한 자동 선적/하역 시스템이 효율적이고 타산성이 있는 것으로 간주되고 있다. 카세트 위의 핫코일의 안전 및 나아가서 전체 운반선의 안전은 카세트의 지지경사각에 의해 직접적인 영향을 받는다. 카세트 경사각의 최적설계를 위하여 핫코일과 카세트간의 상대운동을 허용하지 않는 구속조건하에서 핫코일-카세트 화물의 동역학 모델이 개발되었다. 파랑중 운반선의 운동에 기인되어 핫코일에 작용하는 관성력의 합력과 카세트 경사면 반력 사이의 힘의 평형 조건식이 유도되었으며, 그에 따라서 수치시뮬레이션 프로그램이 개발되었다. 수치 시뮬레이션에 의하여 핫코일의 동안전성과 카세트 구조 강도를 고려한 최적의 카세트 경사각은 약 37도로 선정되었다. 설계된 카세트 경사각의 성능은 축소 벤치 테스트를 동하여 검토 및 입증되었다.

Radiation dose outside the radiotherapy treatment field can be significant and therefore is of clinical interest estimating organ dose. We have made measurements of dose at distances up to 70 cm from the central axis of $5{\times}5$, $10{\times}10$, $15{\times}15$, and $25{\times}25$ cm radiation fields of Co-60 ${\gamma}-ray$, at 5 cm depth in water. Contributions to the total secondary radiation dose from water scatter, machine (collimator) scatter and leakage radiation have been seperated. We have found that the component of dose from water scatter can be described by simple exponential function of distance from the central axis of the radiation field for all field sizes. Machine scatter contributes 20 to 60% of the total secondary dose depending on field size and distance from the field. Leakage radiation contributes very little dose, but becomes the dominant componant at distance beyond 40 cm from the central axis. Then, wedges can cause a factor 2 to 3 increase in dose at any point outside the field compared with the dose when no wedge is used. Adding blocks to a treatment field can cause an increase in dose at points outside the field, but the effect is much smaller than the effect of a wedge. From the results of these measurements, doses to selected organs outside the field for specified treatment geometries were estimated, and the potential for reducing these organ doses by additional shielding was assessed.

The purpose of this study was to critically review biomechanical studies on foot orthoses (FO) in normal and diseased foot and provide beneficial information obtained from researches until now and future researching focus. The search was performed by Medline and Embase database including studies published in English from January 1980 to April 2007. The searching terms were foot orthoses, foot orthotics, insoles and shoe insert. 57 studies including 54 journal articles and 3 abstracts were finally selected under the conditions of having clinical trials, FO, control condition, movement, scientific measuring system. The reviewed studies were divided into 10 categories according to subject characteristics; healthy normal, excessive pronation or flexible flat foot, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, medial knee osteoarthritis, forefoot varus, plantar fasciitis, patellofemoral syndrome, cavus foot and finite element model. In summary, first, soft and semirigid FOs with some degree of cushioning showed much higher comfort and efficacy than rigid FO. Second, no big differences between prefabricated and custom FO were shown. Third, the full length's FO was preferable to the half length's FO or simple arch supports. Fourth, the wearing of FO combining medial arch supports and metatarsal dome made positive roles to enhance comfort and functionality and redistribute plantar pressure under the foot. Fifth, for patients with knee-related diseases lateral wedges were preferable. Sixth, measuring systems were properly applied according to the types of foot diseases.
