The self-attenuation factor for an $^{198}Au$ sample and the 0.412 MeV gamma-ray penetration ratio in the circular Al-cover of the radiation detector have been determined using an analytical solution and MCNP code. The results show that the self-attenuation factors obtained from the analytical solution coincide with those of MCNP code for all but the Au sample with the relatively larger radius. Then the maximum difference between the two methods appears to be 9 % in the Au sample of 1.5 mm radius. It also is revealed that the analytical solutions of the 0.412 MeV gamma-ray penetration ratio in the Al-cover of 7.62 cm radius are consistent with those of the MCNP code within the standard deviation.

As a result of environmental concerns, the production of electricity through renewable energy resources is rapidly increasing. Wind energy is among the fastest growing renewable energy resources now being integrated in the power system, and the penetration rate of wind generation has been gradually increased. For power flow analysis of the recent systems, thus, steady-state modeling of wind turbines and their application are of great importance. This paper presents the procedure we applied for implementation of a steady-state wind turbine model in power flow.

Picosecond lasers are a very effective tool for micromachining metals, especially when high accuracy, high surface roughness and no heat affected zone are required. However, low productivity has been a limit to broadening the spectrum of their industrial applications. Recently it was reported that in the micromachining of copper with a 1064nm picosecond laser, there exist the optimal pulse energy and repetition rate to achieve the maximum volume ablation rate. In this paper, we used a 515nm picosecond laser, which is more efficient for micromachining copper in terms of laser energy absorption, to obtain its optimal pulse energy and repetition rate. Theoretical analysis based on the experimental data on copper ablation showed that using a 515nm picosecond laser instead of a 1064nm picosecond laser is more favorable in that the calculated threshold fluence is 75% lower and optical penetration depth is 50% deeper.

The burning rates of combustible cartridge cases(CCCs) of 120mm kinetic energy ammunition were measured by CBT(Closed Bomb Tester). The burning coefficient was 1.4 for CCC fabricated by Post Impregnation(PI) process, and 1.0 for that by Beater Additive(BA) process. The BA process CCC showed the fixed burning coefficient of 1.0 in spite of changing the composition of CCC. As the Korean Future Main Battle Tank is requiring the high penetration performance compared with that of KlAl tank ammunition(K276), CCC was designed to have higher impetus composition than that of K276 composition(525J/g). The optimum impetus was 600J/g when considering the increases of pressure and muzzle velocity with increasing impetus. When impetus of CCC by changing the composition increased from 525J/g to 600J/g, the muzzle velocity of 12m/s at pressure increase of 3500psi increased in case of using SCDB propellant.

The bilayer film of Ag/a-S $e_{75.G}$ $e_{25}$ and the monolayer film of a-S $e_{75.G}$ $e_{25}$ act as a negative-type and a positive-type resist in focused ion beam lithography, respectively. Using a model which takes into account the ion stopping power, the ion projected range, the ion concentration implanted into resists and the ion transmission coefficient, etc., the ion resist parameters are calculated for a broad range of ion energies and implanted doses. Ion sources of A $r^{+}$, S $i^{++}$ and G $a^{+}$ are used to expose resists. As the calculated results, the energy loss per unit distance by Ga'$^{+}$ ion is about 10$^{3}$[keV/.mu.M] and nearly constant for all energy range. Especially, the projected range and struggling for 80[keV] G $a^{+}$ ion energy are 0.0425[.mu.m] and 0.020[.mu.m], , respectively and the resist thickness of a-S $e_{75}$ G $e_{25}$ to minimize the ion penetration rate into a substrate is 0.118[.mu.m].u.m]..u.m].

This paper introduces a novel control algorithm, energy bounding algorithm, for stable haptic interaction. The energy bounding algorithm restricts energy generated by zero-order hold within consumable energy by physical damping that is energy consumption element in the haptic interface. The passivity condition can always be guaranteed by the energy bounding algorithm. The virtual coupling algorithm restricts the actuator force with respect to the penetration depth and restricts generated energy. In contrast, energy bounding algorithm restricts the change of actuator force with respect to time and restricts generated energy by zero-order hold. Therefore, much stiffer contact simulation can be implemented by the energy bounding algorithm. Moreover, the energy bounding algorithm doesn’t is not computationally intensive and the implementation of it is very simple.

Due to recent development in nanotechnology and increasing usage and production of nanomaterials, numerous studies related to environment, sanitation and safety handling of nanoparticle are being conducted. Since nanoparticles can be easily absorbed into human bodies through breathing process, based on their toxic substances and their large specific surface, these particles can cause serious health damage. Therefore, to reduce nanoparticle emissions, nanofiltration technology is becoming a serious issue. Filtration is a separation process during which a fluid passes through a barrier by removing the particles from the stream. Barrier filters can be made of various materials and shapes. One of the most common type of barrier filter is the fibrous filter. Fibrous filters are divided in two types: nonwoven and woven fabrics. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic material, used as a base material for melt blown nonwoven fabric. In this study, we examined filtration property of KCl nanoparticles with a mean particle diameter of 75 nm using multilayer meltblown filter samples. These experiments verify that the penetration of nanoparticle in the filter correlate with pressure drop; the meltblown layer MB1 has the greatest effect on dust collection efficiency of the filter. Among all tested samples, dust collection efficiency of 2-layer filter was best. However, when considering the overall pressure drop and dust collection efficiency, the 4-layer filter has the highest quality factor for particles smaller than 70 nm.

In order to construct offshore structures safely, geotechnical investigation should be carried out with high accuracy. Up to now, onshore geotechnical investigation equipments installed on the barge are used for offshore geotechnical investigation. In this case, many limitations can be confronted such as deep water depth, high wave, strong current, severe wind and so on. For the safe and economic offshore geotechnical investigation with high precision, a seabed type unmanned automated site investigation equipment is developed. It can be operated remotely underwater conditions with 100m water depth and can explore the ground depth of 50m. Also, the standard penetration test (SPT), soil boring, soil sampling and rock coring can be possible using the equipment. Numerical analysis was conducted to secure the stability of the equipment against current of 4 knot. Energy efficiency of SPT apparatus which is attached to the equipment shows 78% in average.

With the rapid urbanization and growing energy use intensity in the built environment, the glazed curtainwall has become ever more important in the architectural practice and environmental stewardship. Besides its energy efficiency roles, window has been an important transparent component for daylight penetration and a view-out for occupant satisfaction. In response to the climate crisis caused by the built environment, this research focuses on the study of net-zero energy retrofitting by using a new building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) curtainwall as a sustainable alternative to conventional window systems. Design variables such as building orientations, climate zones, energy attributes of BIPV curtainwalls, and glazed area were studied, to minimize energy consumption and discomfort hours for three cities representing hot (Miami, FL), mixed (Charlotte, NC), and cold (Minneapolis, MN). Parametric analysis and Pareto solutions are presented to provide a comprehensive explanation of the correlation between design variables and performance objectives for net-zero energy retrofitting applications.

In this paper molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to investigate energy and momentum transfer of hydrogen ions impacted on the Ni (100) surface with $45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ incident angles. The initial kinetic energies of the hydrogen ion were ranged from 100 eV to 1,600 eV to study the layer-by-layer energy variation as a dependence of incident energies and angles. At low incident energies, the scattering energy transfer is dominated by the normal motion of surface layers due to thermal vibrations and multiple collision effects. For higher incident energies, the scattering energy transfer in a normal direction is greater than that in a parallel direction. In the case of penetration, the amount of transferred energies do not affect much on Ni layers at low incident energy. It was found channeling effects through Ni layers with increasing incident energies.
