In this study, basic research on the pressure control using driven pintle of modulatable thruster is presented. For this purpose, pintle thruster and pintle shape was developed. The actuator model was selected by calculating pintle load using Fluent software. Preliminary unsteady experimental results show that huge pressure oscillation is occurred as the pintle approach toward nozzle wall. From the preliminary experimental results, we could see possibility of pressure control of the modulatable thruster.

In this paper, the characteristic of pressures had been analyzed with a series of shapes that are pressure probes used in supersonic wind tunnel. When a performance of supersonic wind tunnel is evaluated, the Mach number is calculated by using the ratio of static pressure in test section wall to total pressure in settling chamber. Also the flow condition can be visualized by schlieren system. However a number of limitations exist to measure pressure of test section due to high speed and boundary layer effect. Therefore a specific pressure probe is needed for evaluating flow condition in test section at a various of positions. In the paper, experiments were conducted in terms of some pitot probes and the results were compared and analyzed.

It is very essential to get the accurate classification of defects in primary pressure vessel and piping welds for the safety of nuclear power plant. Ultrasonic testing has been widely applied to inspect primary pressure vessel and piping welds of nuclear power plants during PSI / ISI. Classification of flaws in weldments from their ultrasonic scattering signals is very important in quantitative nondestructive evaluation. This problem is ideally suited to a modern ultrasonic Pattern recognition technique. Here, a brief discussion on systematic approach to this methodology is presented including ultrasonic feature extraction, feature selection and classification. A stronger emphasis is placed on Fuzzy-UTSCS (UT signal classification system) as efficient classifiers for many practical classification problems. As an example Fuzzy-UTSCS is applied to classify flaws in ferrite pressure vessel weldments into two types such as linear and volumetric. It is shown that Fuzzy-UTSCS is able to exhibit higher performance than other classifiers in the defect classification.

원자로 압력용기 용접열영향부의 세부영역별 열 cycle 재현(simulation) 시험편을 제작하여 기계적 특성시험, 미세조직시험 및 magnetic Barkhausen noise (BN) 측정을 수행하였다. 각 영역에서 보자력(coercivity)은 크게 변하지 않았으나, Barkhausen noise (BN) 는 현격한 차이를 볼 수 있었다. 용접열영향부 각 위치에 대한 BN 는 미세조직과 기계적특성의 변화와 어느정도 특징적 변화를 보였으나, 미세조직 인자별로 정량적인 관계를 찾기 위하여는 더욱 더 많은 연구가 필요한 것으로 보였다. 이는 BN 의 변화에 미치는 영향인자가 미세조직적으로 매우 복잡한 관계를 갖기 때문으로 생각되었다.

틸팅-패드 저어널 베어링은 베어링틈새가 원주방향으로 불연속적이므로 패드선단의 약간 전방에서 압력이 상승하기 시작하여 패드선단에서는 주변압력보다 높은 압력을 나타낸다. 이를 선단압력(lnlet pressure or Ram-pressure)이라한다. 추력식 베어링에 대해 선단압력을 고려한 연구결과에 의하면 선단압력은 베어링의 틈새에서 발생하는 유막압력에 상당한 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 잇다. 틸팅-패드 저어널 베어링에 대해 정특성 해석을 한바 있으나 선단압력을 고려한 틸팅-패드 베어링의 동특성을 해석한 연구는 아직 없다. 실제로 틸팅-패드 저어널 제어링에서도 선단압력이 0이 아님이 알려져 있으므로 정특성 및 동특성을 보다 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 각 패드 입구부에서 발생하는 선단압력을 고려해야 할 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 무한폭 틸팅-패드 저어널 베어링에 대하여 선단압력을 고려하여 정특성 및 동특성을 해석하고 선단압력이 베어링의 정특성 및 동특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다.

In this study, the drag forces on a submerged square cylinder were analyzed using a three dimensional hydrodynamic model. The numerical results were compared with the experimental results to check the reliability of the numerical simulations, and the characteristics of the drag forces with the relative depths were analyzed by analyzing the pressure acting on the cylinder surface, which are normally difficult to measure experimentally. The numerical results showed that the drag forces acting on a submerged square cylinder originate mainly from the pressure forces, and component of the shear forces decreased with increasing relative depth. The pressure coefficient distributions showed that in the case of a low relative depth, a relatively high pressure was formed in the front of a cylinder, and a relatively low pressure was formed in the rear, which gives a high drag coefficient. In a high relative depth, the pressure in the front decreased and pressure in the rear increased, which is a similar phenomenon to that normally observed in two dimensional square cylinder flow. The effect of the static pressure was analyzed and the surface elevation difference between the front and rear zone of a cylinder has a limited effect on the drag forces. Finally, the numerical results showed that the drag forces acting on a submerged square are dominated by the dynamic pressure formed by three dimensional flow and the distribution of local surface elevation.

An experiment of rapid pressurization-induced crack propagation of solid propellant was conducted by using a windowed test chamber. A pre-cracked specimen of solid propellant is installed in the chamber, and highly compressed nitrogen gas in a accumulator pressurizes the chamber until the chamber pressure reaches set-up pressure to make the chamber depressurization. Pressure-time trace was obtained from the experimental result, and pressurization rate was defined from the trace. In this study, three pressurization rates (64.34, 73.86 and 85.44 MPa/s) are considered, and propagation lengths are measured. Also, a progression of the crack propagation recorded by a high-speed digital camera is presented.

본 연구에서는 EDISON의 해석자를 활용하여 선박의 최적 운항 자세 도출과 같은 실용적 문제 해석뿐 만 아니라 자유 수면 및 대칭 경계 조건이 수직한 몰수 익형 주위 유동에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 학술적 연구를 수행하였다. 선박의 자세에 따른 저항 변화를 분석한 결과 0.5m 선수 트림에서 선체 저항이 가장 작은 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 유동 가속에 의한 선수 어깨부의 낮은 압력 및 선미부에서의 압력 회복에 의한 것이다. 반면, 1.0m 선미 트림에서 선체 저항이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났는데, 평형 상태보다 선미부의 압력 회복이 약하기 때문이다. 또한 자유 수면과 대칭 경계 조건이 날개 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 비현실적 대칭경계 조건으로 인해 날개 양력이 13%~16% 크게 나타났으므로 대칭경계조건을 사용할 경우에는 이러한 오차를 감안해야 한다.

Recently, hydrogen energy has been in the spotlight as an alternative to diminishing fossil fuels and as a potential solution to environmental pollution. The development of hydrogen-fueled vehicles and the demands for improved fuel efficiencies have resulted in the need to increase the volume of the hydrogen pressure vessels. Pressure vessels having an elliptical bottom, as opposed to one that is hemispherical, allow for a greater capacity. However, there are insufficient studies on the feasibility of the forming process required for an elliptical bottom. In this study, the liner capacity is calculated according to the ratios of the major to the minor axes of the elliptical bottom part in a hydrogen pressure vessel. Structural safety is verified through finite element analyses, and the results are compared to the theoretical results. The feasibility of the proposed elliptical shape of the pressure vessel bottom, while filled to maximum capacity, is validated through forming analysis.

Pressure waves are generated and propagate in a tunnel when train enters tunnel high speed. A compression wave due to the entry of train head propagates along the tunnel and is reflected at tunnel exit as an expansion wave. An expansion wave due to the entry of the train tail propagates along the tunnel and is reflected at tunnel exit as a compression wave. These pressure waves are repeatedly propagated and reflected at the tunnel entrance and exit. Severe pressure changes causes ear-discomfort for passengers in the cabin and micro pressure waves around the tunnel exit. It is necessary to analyze the transient pressure phenomena in tunnels qualitatively and quantitatively, because pressure change rate is considered as one of the major design parameters for optimal tunnel cross sectional area and repeated fatigue force on car body. In this study, we developed a characteristics method based on a fixed mesh system and boundary conditions for crossing trains and analyzed this system using an X-t diagram. The results of the simulation show that offsetting of pressure waves occurs for special entry conditions of a crossing train.
