Acoustic emission(AE) has emerged as a powerful nondestructive tool to detect any further growth or expansion of preexisting defects or to characterize failure mechanisms. Recently, this kind of technique, that is an in-situ monitoring of inside damages of materials or structures, becomes increasingly popular for monitoring the integrity of large structures like a huge wind turbine blade. Therefore, it is required to find a symptom of damage propagation before catastrophic failure through a continuous monitoring. In this study, a new damage location method has been proposed by using signal mapping algorithm, and an experimental verification is conducted by using small wind turbine blade specimen; a part of 750 kW real blade. The results show that this new signal mapping method has high advantages such as a flexibility for sensor location, improved accuracy, high detectability. The newly proposed method was compared with traditional AE source location method based on arrival time difference.

최근 컴퓨터 기술의 발전으로 수심방향으로 완전한 운동방정식인 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 이용하는 3차원 수치모형에 의한 연구가 기초과학 분야인 수학에서부터 공학은 물론 의학 분야까지 광범위하게 진행되고 있다. 3차원 수치모형을 이용한 연구는 이론적으로 매우 우수하긴 하나 정확도 높은 결과를 얻기 위해서는 매우 조밀한 격자를 필요로 하기 때문에 아직까지 막대한 계산시간이 필요하다는 단점이 있으나 근래의 컴퓨터 기술이 엄청난 속도로 발전하고 있는 점을 감안할 때 적용 가능성은 계속 높아지고 있다. 이러한 흐름에 따라 해안공학 분야에서도 3차원 수치모형을 이용한 다양한 연구가 시도되고 있다. 복잡한 해안구조물로 인한 파랑변형 및 구조물의 안전성 등을 검토할 때 기존의 평면 2차원 수치모형이나 연직 2차원 수치모형으로는 재현이 힘들어 상대적으로 수치모형을 활용한 연구의 효용성이 낮았던 것에 비해 3차원 수치모형을 활용할 경우 복잡한 지형 및 구조물의 형상을 재현할 수 있기 때문에 좀 더 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 한편, 파랑변형을 다루는 수치모형실험을 수행할 때 외부조파를 사용할 경우 구조물이나 지형에 의해 반사되어 나온 파랑이 조파지점에 도달할 때 실험영역으로 재 반사되는 문제가 발생한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 내부조파기법의 개발에 대한 연구가 필수적이었으며, 2차원 수치모형을 중심으로 그 연구가 매우 활발하게 진행되어 왔으나 Navier-Stokes 방정식 모형의 경우 상대적으로 연구가 미흡하였다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식 모형에서 내부조파기법을 도입하여 목표 파랑을 조파하였다. 수치모형은 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 엇갈림 격자체계에서 계산하는 유한차분모형으로 자유수면 추적에는 2차 정확도의 VOF(volume-of-fluid) 기법을 사용한다. 수치모형실험 결과를 일정한 수심을 전파하는 정현파의 해석해와 비교하였으며, 수치모형실험 결과가 비교적 정확하게 목표 파랑을 조파할 수 있음을 검증하였다.

This paper is the study for the directional solidification of the ingot through the thermal analysis simulation and structural change of casting furnace. With the results of thermal analysis simulation, the silicon as a whole has reached the melting temperature as the retention time 80 min. The best cooling conditions showed at the upper cooling temperature $1,400^{\circ}C$ and cooling time 60min. The fabricated wafers showed the superior etching result at the grain boundary than that of existing commercial wafers. The FTIR measurements of oxygen and carbon impurities were not in the critical value for solar conversion efficiency. The NAA analysis of metal impurities were also detected the total number of 18 different metals, but the concentration distribution showed no significant positional deviations in the same position from the top to the bottom.

When a riser is damaged, the oil spills to sea. Oil spills cause huge economic losses as well as a destruction of the marine environment. To reduce losses, it is needed to predict spilled oil volume from risers and the excursion of the oil. The present paper simulated the oil spill for a damaged riser using open source libraries, called Open-FOAM. To verify numerical methods, jet flow and Rayleigh-Taylor instability were simulated. The oil spill was simulated for various damaged leak size, spilled oil volume rates, damaged vertical locations of a riser, and current speeds. From results, the maximum excursion of the spilled oil at the certain time was predicted, and a forecasting model for various parameters was suggested.

Distribution of superoxide dismutase (SOD) which catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide radicals to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen has been examined in various genera of bacteria. SOD was produced by various bacteria independent of genus and species with variation in superoxide dismutase activity of each bacteria. Bacillus circulans which produced relatively large amount of SOD was selected and used to investigate the optimum culture conditions and further studies. The compositions of optimum culture medium for the enzyme production were 1% glucose, 2% polypeptone, 0.l% NaCl, and 0.2mM of methyl viologen and initial pH was 6.0. The highest enzyme production was observed after 20 hours of cultivation at 3$0^{\circ}C$ on a reciprocal shaker. The enzyme activity was maintained stably for a relatively long period by the addition of 5% ethanol in pH 5.0, 0.01M acetate buffer.

In order to enhance the efficiency of removal a series of ElectroKinetic Remediation (EKR) tests on ferrous soil contaminated by lead are carried out using acids, chelates and surfactant as flushing agents. The test results indicate that pH in the electrolyte rapidly reached at steady state as the introduce of flushing solution of the lower pH, the type of flushing solution have no effect the distribution of electrical voltage within the sample but the increasing of solution concentration increases it at x/L=0.9. In the distribution of the residual lead in the sample SDS is the highest. Also, the removal efficiency for acetic acid concentration of 1mM Is the highest but the concentration of acetic acid significantly have no effect.

PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs beads were prepared by immobilizing extractant di-(2-ethylhexyl)- phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) and adsorbent carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on polysulfone (PSf), and the adsorption characteristics of Sr(II) on the beads were studied. The morphological characteristics of the prepared PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs beads were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). The equilibrium time for the removal of Sr(II) by PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs beads was 60 min. The experimental kinetic data followed pseudo-second-order model more than pseudo-first-order kinetics model. The maximum removal capacity of Sr(II) obtained from Langmuir isotherm was 4.75 mg/g. The removal efficiencies of Sr (II) by PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs beads were improved 2.5 times by adding the adsorbent CNTs more than by using only the extractant D2EHPA.

The purpose of this thesis is to reduce of error for source location through acoustic emission(AE) signal, generated elastic wave from crack growth to leak for facility diagnosis. Especially, in order to overcome noise from original signal, this paper proposed enhancement of source location by using noise reduction based on wavelet transform. To evaluate actual performance in experiments, Pencil Lead Break is used crack signal source on the aluminum plate and drain valve of air compressor is used as substitute pressure vessel to generate leak signal. In signal processing, wavelet shrinkage and soft threshold are used to discriminate signal source and then source location techniques have been effectively used with group velocity using material property and time difference between sensor using cross correlation. Source location for crack and leak test have some difference, but the result show that improved 30% with a average length within 10.46mm in crack test and improved 2% compare with average filter in leak test when we applied wavelet transform.

In this paper, we used the sound of gunshots recorded by multiple microphones to increase the accuracy of the calculation of the distance between sniper and the microphone array. This method is crucial for achieving military objectives. Gunshots are comprised of the explosion of driving gas from the muzzle and the supersonic shock wave from the flying bullet. The original distance calculation method compares the time difference of arrival and angle of incidence to estimate the sniper's location. The disadvantage of this method is that when the angles of incidence coincide the margin of error increases, to solve this problem we suggest a new method using the characteristic changes of the shock wave with the increase of perpendicular distance between the microphone and the trajectory of the bullet. This theory is verified by experiments.
