In this paper, a new forming process of the large-size forgings within the limit of forming loads is developed by introducing the incremental forging method and combined forming method. For the development of the forming process, various related processes are proposed and modelling experiments of plasticine and corresponding numerical simulation ate carried out. Thus, an optimal process considering the productivity and economical efficiency is recommended from the study of formability and forming loads, etc. The selected process is subjected to a modelling experiment of lead and 1/7 scale prototype experiment of the real material so as to verify the effectiveness of a selected process as well as to determine the design parameters. The developed process is then applied the forging product of dome shape. Dome-shaped forgings can be produced by the developed process within the limit loads and with the simple tools.

The integrity of nuclear piping systems has to be maintained sufficiently all the times during operation. In order to maintain the integrity, reliable assessment procedures including fracture mechanics analysis, etc, are required. Up to now, the integrity assessment has been performed using conventional deterministic approach even though there are lots of uncertainties to hinder a rational evaluation. In this respect, probabilistic approach is considered as an appropriate method for piping system evaluation. The objectives of this paper are to develop a probabilistic assessment program using reliability index and simulation technique and to estimate the damage probability of wall-thinned pipes in secondary systems. The probabilistic assessment program consists of three evaluation modules which are first order reliability method, second order reliability method and Monte Carlo simulation method. The developed program has been applied to evaluate damage probabilities of wall-thinned pipes subjected to internal pressure, global bending moment and combined loading. The sensitivity analysis results as well as prototypal evaluation results showed a promising applicability of the probabilistic integrity assessment program.

In this paper, the method on calculating benefits of combined heat and power is introduced for standard evaluation in electrical power system. This paper calculates benefits about new national viewpoint and viewpoint of independent power producers and assesses benefits of combined heat and power in Korea and In Seoul national capital area. Benefit costs are composed of avoid cost of centralized generation, line upgrading adjustment, loss adjustment and electrical power trade cost per year in earlier study, in addition trade cost of CO2, construction cost of combined heat and power for accurate calculation. Benefit of combined heat and power is calculated by simulation results of real electrical power system.

In this study, a numerical model combined by a river model and an inland model developed to simulated a flood event. The river model describing an inundation in a river solves the two-dimensional Saint Venant equations with a finite difference method. The inland model based on the ILLUDAS describes the conveyance capacity of a storm sewer system. The combined model is applied to a real situation. The model simulates reasonably the real flood event occurred in a river and inland simultaneously.

This simulation method is developed by using GateCycle code for the performance evaluation of the gas turbine in IGCC(Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) power plant that uses clean coal gas fuel derived from coal gasification and gas clean-up processes and it is integrated with ASU(Air Separation Unit). In the present simulation method, thermodynamic calculation procedure is incorporated with compressor performance map and expander choking models for considering the off-design effects due to coal gas firing and ASU integration. With the clean coal gases produced through commercially available chemical processes, their compatibility as IGCC gas turbine fuel is investigated in the aspects the overall performance of the gas turbine system. The predictions by the present method show that the reduction of the air extraction from gas turbine to ASU results in a remarkable increase in the efficiency and net power of gas turbines, but it is accompanied with a shift of compressor operation point toward to surge limit. In addition, the present analysis results reveal the influence of compressor performance characteristics of gas turbine have to be carefully examined in designing the ASU integration process and evaluating the overall performance parameters of the gas turbine in IGCC Power plant.

In this study, we analyze the existing heating and cooling operation method for an office-type complex building with a central heating and cooling system, and examine the effects of applying various EMS that can be applied according to the load size to save energy in the building. For this purpose, simulation analysis was performed. As a control method, reset control of chilled water, hot water, cooling water and supply air temperatures, optimal start/stop of heat source, and number of heat source control were applied according to the load size, and energy consumption was analyzed accordingly. In addition, when all of these control methods were applied, the overlapping energy saving effect was finally confirmed. As a result, it was possible to confirm the energy saving effect when EMS for reset control and heat source control were applied compared to the existing control method of the heating and cooling system, and the effect for the case of using all these control methods in combination was also confirmed.

In this paper, a two-stage block matching algorithm (BMA), which can reduce greatly the computational complexity of the conventional BMAs, is proposed, in which the onedimensional distortion measure based on the integral projection is introduced to determine the candidate motion vectors and then among them a final motion vector is detected based on the conventional two-dimensional distortion measure. Due to the one-dimensional calculation of a distortion measure, the proposed algorithm can reduce the computational complexity of the conventional BMA (full search method with a 16$\times$16 block) by a factor of 4, with its performance comparable to those of the conventional ones. Simulation results based on the original and noisy image sequences are shown. Also the simulation of the proposed method combined with the MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) SM3 (Simulation Model Three) is presented. Computer simulation shows that the proposed algorithm is fast with its performance comparable to those of the conventional ones.

Flow characteristics of the fluid laden with many particles in the two-dimensional channel are investigated using the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the equation of motion of particles by direct numerical simulation. A four-step fractional step method with Crank-Nicolson scheme and ALE technique is used for P2P1 mixed finite element method. The motion and distribution of particles in the fluid is virtually described as a result of direct numerical simulation and the increase of viscosity is compared with theoretical equations. The effect of channel height on the relative viscosity and the tubular pinch effect are discussed.

Presented in this paper is a modeling and simulation methodology for 3 dimensional man-made systems. Based on DEVS(discrete event system specification) formalism[13], we propose GK-DEVS (geometrical and kinematic DEVS) formalism to describe the geometrical and kinematic structure and continuous state dynamics. To represent geometry and kinematics, we add a hierarchical structure to the conventional atomic model. In addition, we employ the "empty event" and its external event function for continuous state changing. In terms of abstract simulation algorithm[13], the simulation method of GK-DEVS, named GK-Simulator, is proposed for combined discrete-continuous simulation. Using GK-DEVS, the simulation of an FMS(flexible manufacturing system) consisting of a luring machine, a 3-axis machine and a RGV-mounted robot has been peformed.en peformed.

This paper estimates the residual longitudinal strength of a damaged double hull VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) under combined vertical and horizontal bending moments using Smith's method. The damage estimated in this study occurred due to collision or grounding accidents. The effects of the randomness of the yield stress, plate thickness, extent of damage, and the combination of these three parameters on the ultimate hull girder strength were investigated. Random variables were generated by a Monte Carlo simulation and applied to the double hull VLCC described by the ISSC (International Ship and Offshore Structures Congress) 2000 report.
