A spent fuel storage cask is required to prove the safety of a canister under a hypothetical accidental drop condition. A hypothetical accidental drop condition means that a canister is assumed to be a lee drop on to a pad of the storage cask during loading it into a storage cask. A pad of the storage cask absorbs shock to maintain the structural integrities of a canister under a hypothetical accidental drop condition. In this paper a finite element analysis for various pad structures was carried out to improve the structural integrity of a canister under a hypothetical accidental drop condition. A pad of a storage cask was designed a steel structure with concrete. The 1/4 height of a pad was modified with a structure composed of a steel and a polyurethane foam as a impact limiter. The effect of a shape of a steel structure was studied. The effects of the thickness of a steel structure and the density of a polyurethane foam was also studied.

In this study, the safety of a rack structure was evaluated through seismic analysis considering fluid-structure interactions using a finite-element model. The rack structure was immersed under water, so it was influenced by the water. The fluid-structure interaction can be specified in terms of the hydrodynamic effect, which is defined as the added mass per unit length. Modal analysis and seismic analysis using the Floor Response Spectrum (FRS) were carried out under Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) and Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) conditions. The analytical maximum displacements of the rack structure were 0.29 and 0.36 mm under OBE and SSE conditions, respectively. The maximum stresses were 17.9 MPa under OBE conditions and 19.6 MPa under SSE conditions; these results corresponded to 23 % and 14% of the yield strength of the applied material, respectively.

This paper deals with the structural vibration characteristics for an outdoor units support of an air-conditioner. Even though main noise sources are compressor noise and fluid noise which is caused by the fan, the structural modification of the outdoor units support may affect vibration and noise. In this paper, damping ratios for two kinds of an outdoor units support of an air-conditioner are measured through the modal testing. In order to reduce the structural borne noise due to an outdoor units support of an air-conditioner, four kinds of rubber materials are selected and tested.

The vibration modes of resilient mounting system and foundation structure which support diesel engine/generator set and acoustic enclosure walls play an important role in the vibration transmission process. So, it is necessary to perform vibration mode analysis of resilient mounting system and foundation structure. For some reasons, if the vibration modal analysis of resilient mounting system and foundation structure of acoustic enclosure could be simultaneously done by finite element method, it would be very efficient approach. In this paper, vibration modal analysis method using finite element method for multi stage mounting system having n d.o.f model was proposed. Vibration analysis of single and double stage resilient mounting system was performed to verify the validity of the proposed method. Also frequency response results were compared in case of rigid foundation model and finite element foundation model which was compared with experimental modal analysis results.

Radiated noise analysis from a ship structure is a challenging topic owing to difficulties in the accurate calculation of the fluid-structure interaction as well as owing to a massive degree of freedom of the problem. To reduce the severity of the problem, a new fluid-structure interaction formulation is proposed in this paper. The complex frequency-dependent added mass and damping matrices are calculated using the high-order Burton-Miller boundary integral equation formulation to obtain accurate values over all frequency bands. The calculated fluid-structure interaction effects are added to the structural matrices calculated by commercial finite element software, MSC/NASTRAN. Then, the impedance and underwater radiation noise due to an excitation of structure are calculated. The present formulation is applied to a ship to calculate the underwater radiated noise.

In this study, three axillary crutches(Mobilegs, KM crutch, Pro In-motion) were tested with 12 healthy male subjects by measuring the EMG activity of the latissimus dorsi and gastrocnemius and the user-perceived levels focusing on the comfort and ease of use. The result showed that the EMG activity of the gastrocnemius was significantly reduced during ambulation using Mobilegs and Pro In-motion compared with the ambulation using KM crutch, a conventional crutch. However, no statistically significant difference was found for EMG activity of the latissimus dorsi. Subjects perceived the Mobilegs to be more comfortable and easy to use than the other crutches. Theses result may delivered mostly from the characteristics of spring-loaded axillary pad and ergonomic crutch handle. The results indicate that ambulation using the spring-loaded crutch is much easy with asking less exertion at gastrocnemius. In addition, the characteristics of crutch design, such as embedded spring, makes muscles to consume less energy. When the reasonable structure and form of the axillary pad and crutch handle are applied herein, the ambulation using the crutches are perceived to comfort.

건설 현장이나 일반 제조업 현장은 작업자의 고소 위치에서의 작업시, 필요한 특정 장소로의 접근을 위한 임시 구조물을 설치하는데 이를 가설비계라고 한다. 이러한 가설비계는 작업자의 안전 통행과 작업을 위한 받침대 역할, 장비나 공구, 자재를 임시 적치하기 위한 장소로 활용되는데 일반 건축물과 중후장대한 조선소 블록 제작등에 필수적으로 사용된다. 하지만 가설설비라는 특성으로 비계와 관련된 연구가 부진하고 사업적으로 참여하는 사업주 또한 진출을 가볍게 생각하고 있으며 해당 공사에 임하는 작업자의 산업으로의 진입문턱도 낮은 등으로 시공 품질이 떨어질 우려가 매우 높다. 또한 설치후에는 품질검사가 어려워 작업자의 숙련도나 진정성 등에 의한 주관적 작업 결과물이 설치된 시설물을 사용하는 주변 작업자에게는 불안전 요인이 되기도 한다. 이에 작업자의 숙련도나 주관적 판단에 의한 가설 구조물 설치를 회피하여 안전성을 높이기 위한 방안이 연구되어 왔는데 이것이 시스템비계이다. 이러한 시스템비계에 대한 사용성을 확대하기 위해 국토교통부와 고용노동부등의 정부기관에서는 여러 가지 제약과 동시에 장려정책을 제시하고 있으나 공적 발주나 일부 대기업그룹 외의 중소 현장에는 그 확산 속도가 높지않은 편이다.

we performed the underwater explosion analysis for the liquefied oxygen tank - a kind of fuel tank of a mid-size submarine, and tried to verify the structural safety for this structure. First, we reviewed the theory and application of underwater explosion analysis using Structure-Fluid Interaction technique and its finite element modeling scheme. Next, we modeled the explosive and sea water as fluid elements, the LOX tank as structural elements and the interface between two regions as ALE scheme. The effect on shock pressure and impulse of fluid mesh size and shape are also investigated. As the analysis result, the shock pressure due explosion propagated into the water region and hit the structure region. The plastic deformation and the equivalent stress highly appeared at the web frame and the shock mount of LOX structure, but these values were acceptable for design criteria.
