  • 현 도로설계기준은 설계속도에 기반하여 선형설계에 관한 지침을 제시하고 있으며, 이는 설계속도가 도로 공용 후에 운전자의 주행 속도와 거의 동일할 것임을 전제하고 있다. 도로 평면 곡선부의 설계도 주어진 설계속도에 따라 운전자가 쾌적성을 유지한 채 통과할 수 있는 최소곡선반경을 기준으로 제시하고 있다. 그러나 쾌적성에 기초한 횡방향 미끄럼마찰계수는 실제 습윤노면에서 관측되는 물리적인 횡방향 미끄럼마찰계수보다 낮기 때문에 기준에 제시된 곡선반경은 최소의 의미보다는 권장 값으로 보는 것이 합리적이다. 아울러, 최소곡선반경보다 여유로운 설계 값을 선호하는 실무관행으로 도로 공용 후 운전자의 주행속도는 설계속도를 상회하여 설계속도가 주행속도를 대표하지 못하는 결과를 초래하고, 결과적으로 현 설계기준의 주요전제를 위반하게 될 것으로 본다. 이러한 연구 가정을 검토하기 위해 지방부 도로에서 노면 미끄럼 마찰계수와 운전자의 주행속도를 조사하였다. 연구결과로, 쾌적성에 기반한 미끄럼 마찰계수와 물리적인 미끄럼마찰계수와의 차이에 따른 안전여유를 정량적으로 제시했고, 안전여유 및 설계관행에 따른 여유로운 설계로 인해 설계속도와 주행속도 간에 괴리가 발생함을 제시했다. 이를 토대로, 현 설계속도 기반의 선형설계는 최소기준과 더불어 설계속도와 주행속도 사이의 괴리를 최소화할 수 있는 선형 설계 관리 방안이 마련될 필요가 있다.

  • Financial stability is the foremost prerequisite for the continuous growth and development of hospitals. The present study aimed at developing a deterministic model using the factors which affect the hospitals profitability and at discovering which factor affected the hospital profitability. The study conducted questionnaire surveys on all general hospitals, with the exception of special hospitals, with over eighty hospital beds. Of the 274 subject hospitals, 136 of them, consituting 49.6% of the whole, were used in the study. The results are as follows. 1. In the deterministic model, outpatient revenue was affected more by the number of physician visits than by outpatient service intensity. Inpatient revenue was found to be affected more by the number of discharged patients than by inpatient service intensity. However, the increase rate of the service intensity not only contributed in stepping up the operating margin by $4{\sim}8%$ in outpatient and $3{\sim}6%$ in inpatient, but it was statistically significant. 2. Among the factors which determined the operating cost within the deterministic model, the number of patients had a greater impact on the operating cost than the resource consumption per patient. 3. The resource consumption per patient were proved to have the greatest effect on the profitability within the probabilistic model. The management cost per adjusted patient, in particular, was proven to have a statistically significant effect on the profitability in all hospitals.

  • Fluctuation of control rod was experienced when plant was operating in normal operation mode in WH type NPPs. In order to cope with increased control rod fluctuation, the lead-lag controller setpoint for rod control system was optimized and resulted in increasing the margin of operation and minimizing unnecessary control rod movement. By optimization of the time constant, the margin of operation was increased by $1.5^{\circ}F$ and the control rod movement was not occurred due to mitigation of temperature fluctuation in loop. According to the mitigation of time constant, the margin of operation was increased but safety margin can be affected badly, so that the influences to FSAR design reference was evaluated. As the result of this evaluation, it satisfied the design reference of the existing safety analysis and was applied to NPP after obtaining the approval.

  • This paper presents numerical and experimental results of modal parameter identification in a generator stator frame for 500 MW fossil power plants. A commercial finite element analysis S/W was employed for modal analysis. The generator is excited by alternating electromagnetic forces, mainly of 120 Hz in 60 Hz machines, due to magnetic field and electric current in windings. It is necessary to verify that the stator frame has adequate frequency margin from the excitation frequency to avoid possible resonance when operating. Thus, frequency margin required for the stator frame is established using the numerical and experimental results. The results show that the stator frame meets the frequency-margin requirements. Also, results of modal analysis for design modification in order to reduce weights of the stator frame without deteriorating vibration characteristics are presented.

  • Confluence buffers and single flux quantum (SFQ) switches are essential components in constructing a high speed superconductive Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU). In this work, we developed a SFQ confluence buffer and an SFQ switch. It is very important to optimize the circuit parameters of a confluence buffer and an SFQ switch to implement them into an ALU. The confluence buffer that we are currently using has a small bias margin of $\pm$11%. By optimizing it with a Josephson circuit simulator, we improved the design of confluence buffer. Our simulation study showed that we improved bias global margin of 10% more than the existent confluence buffer. In simulations, the minimal bias margin was $\pm$33%. We also designed, fabricated, and tested an SFQ switch operating in a DC mode. The mask layout used to fabricate the SFQ switch was obtained after circuit optimization. The test results of our SFQ switch showed that it operated correctly and had a reasonably wide margin of $\pm$15%.

  • A fuel spiking test was performed to measure the surge margin of gas turbine engines. The surge marin was mainly determined by the compressors and fuel spiking was used to change the operating point in the compressor characteristic map while speed remained constant. To access the surge margin region different spiking signals were applied by modulations of time(frequency) and fuel flow rate(amplitude). The test results showed good agreements with expected fuel spiking patterns and possibility of further studies.

  • The verification for the design limit margin of the power device for the information communication and surveillance systems using HALT(Highly Accelerated Life Test) reliability test is described. The HALT reliability test performs with a step stress method which change condition until the marginal step in a design and development phase. The HALT test methods are the low temperature(cold) step stress test, the high temperature(hot) step stress test, the thermal shock cyclic stess test, and the high temperature destruct limit(hot DL) step stress test. The power device is checked the operating performance during the test. In this paper, the HALT was performed to find out the design limit margin of the power device.

  • 운전중인 Westinghouse형 원자력 발전소에 디지탈 감시계통을 설치하였을 시의 정량적인 여유도 잇점을 계산하였다. 적용된 발전소는 영광 원자력 1호기 6주기이며 참조한 디지탈 감치계통은 ABB-CE 사의 COLSS이다. 고려된 핵연료 설계제한 한계는 DNBR과 LUCA Fq이다. 평가를 위해 기존 CAOC 한계내에서 200가지의 3-D 출력 분포를 계산하였다. 영광 1호기 6주기의 DNB 관련 가장 제한적인 사고인 CEA 인출사고를 해석하였다. 평가결과 DMS를 설치하면 DNB와 LOCA Fq 관점에서 모두 7%출력 증가 효과를 가져올 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. DMS를 설치하면 PCI 한계도 감시할 수 있다.

  • Both shifiting the input signal's frequencies by a fixed frequency and compressing the input signal's bandwidth have been known to be effective in improving the stability margin of public adress systems operating in reverberant spaces. This paper describes the effect of an alternative approach of improving the acoustic-feedback stability and yet maintaining speech inteligibility by bandwidth compression and expansion. Conditions are derived for this technizue to be realized and an experimental system has been made - up. A series of experiments has been performed in small spaces and the results have shown that more than 5dB improvement can be obtained in the stability margin.
