Stent is a tiny structure made with either ceramic coating and/or bare metal. Being approximately $1{\sim}2 mm$ in diameter, it consists of holes, slots, or void space and is designed to cover entire medical lesions. Stent implantation into patients' arteries has been practiced for a little more than a decade in order to widen the blocked artery. The adoption of the stent has significantly improved the efficacy when compared with the previous medical practice by balloon angioplasty alone. Yet better biomedical performance of the stent is being demanded in order to eliminate the still existing problem of artery restenosis, which means the artery becomes narrowed again. Recent literature survey shows researches on ceramic coatings onto the stent surface, or material design to improve the mechanical response of the stent. This study focuses more on the material design and mechanical analysis. The results showed that the void configuration within the stent affects the mechanical response significantly. The rectangular shape was found to yield expansion at a relatively lower pressure than the elliptical slot for a slotted tube stent. The present results, when combined with research on coating at the stent surface, may provide stents with improved bio-medical performance.

Bennet 등(1992)이 제안한 수학적 모델을 사용하여 원형 파일 방파제에 의한 반사율과 투과율을 살펴보았다. 파가 파일 방파제를 통과하면서 갑작스런 단면형상의 변화로 박리현상이 발생하며 이로 인하여 파 에너지의 일부분이 소멸된다. 따라서 수학적 모델의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해서는 에너지 손실계수를 정확히 산정하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 FLUENT 상용코드를 사용하여 2차원 난류유동을 해석하고 파일 방파제 전후의 압력차로부터 에너지 손실계수를 구하였다. 에너지 손실계수는 공극률의 함수이며, 둘 사이의 관계식을 제안하였다. 손실계수 산정식의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 수리모형실험결과와 비교하였다. 4가지 공극률에 대하여 반사율과 투과율을 비교한 결과 해석결과와 모형실험결과는 잘 일치하고 있음을 확인하였다.

HTR50S is a small modular reactor system based on HTGR. It is designed for a triad of applications to be implemented in successive stages. In the first stage, a base plant for heat and power is constructed of the fuel proven in JAEA's $950^{\circ}C$, 30MWt test reactor HTTR and a conventional steam turbine to minimize development risk. While the outlet temperature is lowered to $750^{\circ}C$ for the steam turbine, thermal power is raised to 50MWt by enabling 40% greater power density in 20% taller core than the HTTR. However the fuel temperature limit and reactor pressure vessel diameter are kept. In second stage, a new fuel that is currently under development at JAEA will allow the core outlet temperature to be raised to $900^{\circ}C$ for the purpose of demonstrating more efficient gas turbine power generation and high temperature heat supply. The third stage adds a demonstration of nuclear-heated hydrogen production by a thermochemical process. A licensing approach to coupling high temperature industrial process to nuclear reactor will be developed. The low initial risk and the high longer-term potential for performance expansion attract development of the HTR50S as a multipurpose industrial or distributed energy source.

Purpose: Pnumosinus dilatans is a rare disease that one or more of the paranasal sinuses are dilatated without functional alteration. The most frequently involved sites are frontal and sphenoid sinus. Facial asymmetric contour is the most common signs and nasal obstruction and pain may be combined. The purpose of reconstruction of pneumosinus dilatans is two-fold, to re-establish a permanent pressure equilibrium of sinus and to correct the possible facial deformities. Methods: We present a case of a 24-year-old female with a 7-year history of protrusion of right malar region. Plane radiography and computed tomography detailed an abnormal expansion of the right maxillary sinus without thinning of bony wall, leading to diagnosis of maxillary pneumosinus dilatans. Surgical decompression and maxilloplasty were achieved by ostectomy of anterior wall of maxillary sinus and repositioning of removed bony fragment with miniplate. Results: Post operative course was uneventful without complication and malar height became symmetric by physical and radiologic examination. Conclusion: We corrected successfully pneumosinus dilatans of maxillary sinus by surgical decompression and maxilloplasty. For this case, we reviewed literature related to this topic.

Aluminum nitride, a compound semiconductor, has a Wurtzite structure; good material properties such as high thermal conductivity, great electric conductivity, high dielectric breakdown strength, a wide energy band gap (6.2eV), a fast elastic wave speed; and excellent in thermal and chemical stability. Furthermore, the thermal expansion coefficient of the aluminum nitride is similar to those of Si and GaAs. Due to these characteristics, aluminum nitride can be applied to electric packaging components, dielectric materials, SAW (surface acoustic wave) devices, and photoelectric devices. In this study, we surveyed the crystallization and preferred orientation of AlN thin films with an X-ray diffractometer. To fabricate the AlN thin film, we used the magnetron sputtering method with $N_2$, NH3 and Ar. According to an increase in the partial pressures of $N_2$ and $NH_3$, Al was nitrified and deposited onto a substrate in a molecular form. When AlN was fabricated with $N_2$, it showed a c-axis orientation and tended toward a high orientation with an increase in the temperature. On the other hand, when AlN was fabricated with $NH_3$, it showed a-axis orientation. This result is coincident with the proposed mechanism. We fabricated AlN thin films with an a-axis orientation by controlling the sputtering electric power, $NH_3$ pressure, deposition speed, and substrate temperature. According to the proposed mechanism, we also fabricated AlN thin films which demonstrated high a-axis and c-axis orientations.

본 연구에서는 피스톤운동을 톱날파로 근사하였을 때 단열된 실린더를 갖는 스터링기관에 대한 해석적인 해를 구하고자 한다. 실제기관에서 피스톤운동은 기구 학적 구동기구에 따라 상이하지만 대략적으로 정현파가 되며, 이 경우에는 해석적인 해가 존재하지 않으므로 수학적으로 구간선형적인 톱날파로 근사하였다. 비록 이러 한 근사를 도입한 단열해석이라 하더라도 해석적인 해가 존재한다면 등온해석보다는 기관성능의 예측에 더욱 적합함은 당연하다.

본 연구에서는 계단형 벽면조건을 없게 하기 위해서 비직교 좌표계(non-orth- ogonal coordinate system)를 사용하여 수치해석하였다. 비직교 좌표계를 이용한 수 치해석의 예는 Thompson등이 Laplace방정식 혹은 Poisson방정식을 해석함으로써 비직 교 격자망을 구성한 바 있고, Fahgri와 Asako는 대수적 비직교 좌표변환으로 유한차분 방정식을 유도하여 비정규경계면을 갖는 관로에서의 유동특성을 해석하였으며 이재헌 과 이상렬은 Fahgri와 Asako의 방법을 비정규경계면을 갖는 밀폐공간내에서의 자연대 류의 수치해석에 적용한 바 있다. 본 해석에서도 Fahgri와 Asako의 변환법으로 유한 차분방정식을 유도하였는데, 이 방법을 사용할 경우 확대관의 경사벽면을 계단형으로 만들지 않고 유한차분방정식을 유도할 수 있어서 계단형 벽면으로 인한 해의 오차를 제거할 수 있다. Fig.2는 본 해석에서 사용한 비직교 격자망을 나타낸다.

고로는 제철소에서 철을 만들어 내는 핵심설비 중 하나로 고온고압 환경에서 냉각과 팽창으로 인한 철피의 손상이 노출되어 있어 대형사고에 대한 발생 가능성이 높아 중점관리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 음향방출법을 이용한 대형구조물 안전진단 시스템에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 특히, 철피 크랙의 성장은 큰 에너지를 수반하게 되어, 음향방출 에너지 파라미터의 급격한 증가로 심각한 손상을 예측하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 고로의 정비시기를 앞당겨 확인한 결과 실제 크랙을 UT와 병행하여 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 음향방출법을 이용한 대형 구조물인 철피균열의 심각도에 대한 평가기준을 마련하여 구조물 조기 결함진단 시스템의 활용으로 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

In Shinjeong-dong of Jeongeup, there are three government-supported research institutes and an RFT industrial complex which is currently being established. Increased human activities can affect flora and fauna as a man-made pressure onto the region. As a baseline study, status of exotic plants was investigated prior to a full operation of the RFT industrial complex. A total of 54 species and 1 variety of naturalized or introduced plants were found in the study area. Among them, three species (Ambrosia artemisifolia var. elatior, Rumex acetocella and Aster pilosus) belong to 'nuisance species', and four species(Phytolacca americana, Iopomoea hederacea, Ereechtites hieracifolia and Rudbeckia laciniata) to 'monitor species' designated by the ministry of Environment. Some of naturalized trees and plants were intentionally introduced in this area, while others naturally immigrated. Physalis angulata seemes to immigrate in the study area in the form of mixture with animal feeds as its distribution coincided with the transportation route of the animal feeds. Liquidambar styraciflua is amenable to the ecological investigation on the possible expansion of the species to the nearby Naejang National Park as its leave shape and autumn color are very similar to those of maple trees. The number of naturalized plants around the RFT industrial complex will increase with an increase in floating population, in human activities in association with constructions of factories and operations of the complex. The result of this study provides baseline data for assessing the ecological change of the region according to the operation of the RFT industrial complex.

The first stage blade of a gas turbine was operated under a severe environment which included both $1300^{\circ}C$ hot gas and thermal stress. To obtain high efficiency, a thermal barrier coating (TBC) and an internal cooling system were used to increase the firing temperature. The TBC consists of multi-layer coatings of a ceramic outer layer (top coating) and a metallic inner layer (bond coat) between the ceramic and the substrate. The top and bond coating layer respectively act as a thermal barrier against hot gas and a buffer against the thermal stress caused by the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the ceramic and the substrate. Particularly, the bondcoating layer improves the resistance against oxidation and corrosion. An inter-diffusion layer is generated between the bond coat and the substrate due to the exposure at a high temperature and the diffusion phenomenon. A thickness measurement result showed that the bond coat of the suction side was thicker than that of the pressure side. The thickest inter-diffusion zone was noted at SS1 (Suction Side point 1). A chemical composition analysis of the bond coat showed aluminum depletion around the inter-diffusion layer. In this study, we evaluated the properties of the bond coat and the degradation of the coating layer used on a $1300^{\circ}C$-class gas turbine blade. Moreover, the operation temperature of the blade was estimated using the Arrhenius equation and this was compared with the result of a thermal analysis.
