The safety block which prevents drop of laborers at high altitude was analyzed by finite element method. Elastic analysis was done by Ansys ver. 11.0. and tetrahedral meshing was used. As load applied more vertically at the fixed face of saw tooth, the stress concentration became smaller and the load distributed broader. When load worked at saw tooth and the shape was more straight to the direction of load, most stresses except principal stress became smaller. When the area of the load increased, principal stress and equivalent stress could be decreased simultaneously. A principal stress and other various stresses occurred in 3D shape, therefore revised model which has smaller equivalent stress than other models shows excellence on the stability and the credibility.

In this study, the numerical analyses regarding the distance between the guardrail and the reinforced earth wall as parameter were performed to determine the safe distance of guardrail installed on reinforced earth wall from the reinforced earth wall. The analyses were fulfilled by increasing the distance between the guardrail and reinforced earth wall from 150mm to 750mm. The computer program used in this research is LS-DYNA, which is very' popular in analysis of vehicle collision. Ford single unit truck in NCAC was employed as the model of vehicle and the velocity of vehicle collision was 80km/hr. As a results of analyses, the safety of guardrail was secured regardless of the distance between the guardrail and block of reinforced earth wall. However, to secure the safety of block of reinforced earth wall the distance between the guardrail and block of reinforced earth wall should be over 600mm.

This study aims to introduce a method for risk assessment analysis aimed at preventing electrical fires within the manufacturing industry. Initially, we provided a functional block diagram illustrating the electrical equipment employed in various processes within a food manufacturing company in Chungcheongbuk-do. Subsequently, we categorized the components of each machine outlined in the functional block diagram and determined the priority of failure for each classified component. Upon implementing the model in the frying process of the food manufacturing company, specific components, including MC, motor, mixer heater, electric wiring, and terminal block, exhibit a risk priority number (RPN) of 40 or higher. This identified an electrical issue within the manufacturing process and environment. Consequently, we propose a methodology to identify latent failure modes that could escalate into fires or systemic issues if not promptly addressed. It is essential to note that while the FMEA presented in this study may not immediately impact food manufacturing, its applicability extends to various workplaces.

This study proposes integrity evaluation method of weld zone in rails using high precision distance amplitude characteristics curve(DACC) and ultrasonic signals. For these purposes, the ultrasonic signals for defects(porosity and crack) of weld zone in rails are acquired in the type of time series data and echo strength. 6 lines in the DACC indicated damage evaluation standard of weld zone in rails. The aquired ultrasonic signals agree fairly well with the mesured results of reference block and sensitivity block(defect location, beam propagation distance, echo strength, etc). The proposed high precision DACC in this study can be used for integrity evaluation of weld zone in rails.

This study proposes integrity evaluation method of weld zone in titanium using titanium distance amplitude characteristics curve(TDACC) and ultrasonic signals. For these purposes, the ultrasonic signals for porosity defects of weld zone in titanium are acquired in the type of time series data and echo strength. 4 lines in the DACC indicated damage evaluation standard of weld zone in titanium. The acquired ultrasonic signals agree fairly well with the measured results of reference block and sensitivity block(defect location, bean1 propagation distance, echo strength, etc). The proposed TDACC in this study agree fairy well with the measured results of weld zone in titanium(weld defects as porosity). The proposed TDACC in this study can be used for integrity evaluation of weld zone in titanium.

This study proposes construction of through transmission for weld defects detection of rail weld zone from ultrasonic signals. For these purposes, the ultrasonic signals for defects(porosity and crack) of weld zone in rails are acquired in the type of time series data and echo strength. 6 lines in the distance amplitude characteristics curve(DACC) indicated damage evaluation standard of weld zone in rails. The acquired ultrasonic signals agree flirty well with the mesured results of reference block and sensitivity block(defect location beam propagation distance, echo strength, etc). The proposed construction of through transmission in this study can be used for weld defects detection of rail weld zone.

In this paper, we proposed the modified block structures with enhanced electromagnetic shielding properties for mobie communications and ETC frequency bands. As the result of measurement, this block structure with optimized design has the shielding properties of 30 dB, and can be used for electromagnetic safety and EMI.

Increasing the transfortation efficiency is very important issue in railway system. Speed-up of train and shortage of headway can be its solution. Headway can vary with blocksection length, characteristics of the railway and signalling systems. Safety braking distance needed for passenger's safety is very important factor in block section division method. In this study, basic block section division program was developed with the differential ratio of braking distance resulted by grade value of the track. More complete block section division program is going to be developed by the help of experienced experts.

Hospital costing has generally been using ABC costing method. However, based on increase of expensive equipment, the fixed cost is increased in the hospital industry. The most common equipment industry are using building block costing method for depreciation and equipment management costing elements. Additionally it presents three options that may be considered to be supported by the IT system to find the most appropriate alternative.
