In this study, the explosion characteristic of aluminium powders have been investigated as a function of particle size using by a 20 L dust explosion apparatus (K$\ddot{u}$hner). The tested aluminium particle sizes were the volume mean diameter of 16, 33 and $88{\mu}m$. The lower explosion limit increases gradually with the increasing of dust particle diameter, respectively 40, 60, $125g/m^3$ in mean diameter of 16, 33 and $88{\mu}m$. Also the increase in particle size for each aluminum dusts was found to cause an decrease in explosion pressure and Kst of dust explosion index, and a increase in the lower explosion concentration. Research results may have important implications for aluminum powders utilization and safety operation.

In this research, an empirical study on the designed burst pressure of Type3 composite cylinder was performed by hydrostatic burst test equipment. The designed burst pressure of Type3 composite cylinders, which are 6.8 liter and 31 MPa of service pressure, was estimated with the analysis using the finite element method. In order to confirm its accuracy, the burst test of small Type3 composite cylinders was perfomed through three times. The burst test equipment can pressurize to 400 MPa. As a result of comparison between the designed burst pressure and actual burst pressure, the difference was less than 4 percentage. With a test result, the analysis accuracy was verified. This technique will be applied to both qualification and inspection for the composite cylinder.

TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is a safety assistant system to prevent the serious accident due to the damaged tire by the abnormal tire pressure. It is designed to transmit the measured data for pressure and temperature of tires from the sensor unit installed in each tire to signal processing unit installed in a vehicle. Based on the received information, a driver monitors the condition of tires using a display device, to maintain the optimum travelling condition. Since TPMS should employ the wireless communication technique, it may suffer from various interferences from external electrical or electronics devices. In order to suppress them, the beamforming techniques such as switching, minimum-variance distortionless-response (MVDR), and generalized sidelobe canceler (GSC) have been considered for TPMS. In this paper, we calculate computational complexities of three beamformers and suggest mathematical basis to compare their performance of the complexity.

Supersonic/Hypersonic wind tunnel is a facility which is intended to test and to observe the physical phenomena around a model by creating supersonic flow in the test section. In designing an airplane, the wind tunnel test is demanded to analyzing aerodynamic characteristics of the model without making a prototype. In this research, the model aerodynamic facility(MAF) is modified for the purpose of increasing running time and its functionality. New pneumatic valves for remote control was installed for safety requirement, and new air tanks was installed on MAF as well. A pipe system is also modified to use those new valves and tanks, and the ceiling and side glasses of the test section are switched to ones with the larger surface area. After the MAF modification, a test is performed at Mach 2, 3 and 4. In this test, shadow graph technique, one of the flow visualization methods, is used to visualize supersonic flow field. The pressure in the settling chamber and working section at Mach 2, 3 and 4 was measured in each case. As a result, the possible model size and running time are obtained.

A great deal of difficulty is encountered in the thermo-mechanical analyses of nozzle assembly for solid propellant rocket motors. The main issue in this paper is the modeling of the boundary conditions and the connections between the various components-gaps, relative movements of the components, contacts, friction, etc. This paper evaluated the complex phenomena of nozzle assembly during burning time with co-simulation which include fluid, thermal surface reaction/ablation and structural analysis. The validity of this approach was verified by comparison of analysis results with measured strains.

Liquefied petroleum gas can be charged up to 85% of cylinder volume by enforcement regulations of safety control and business of liquefied petroleum gas act. The charged mass by enforcement regulations is considered by liquid expansion of internal liquefied petroleum gas at $65^{\circ}C$. But the temperature of liquid would not be suspended under $65^{\circ}C$ in a cylinder or portable vessel at certain situation. In the thermodynamics view point, the cylinder can be exposed to high pressure by liquid expansion. Consequently, it can be possible to potential risk such as physical explosion. Hence, this paper will offer a method of estimated internal pressure by liquid expansion at critical state in the closed system. Also, the structural factor which is given rise to volume increasement of cylinder is offered by experiment. This paper is expected as crucial reference for a cylinder design of liquefied petroleum gas.

일반적으로 건축물의 설계시 풍동 실험을 통한 풍환경의 평가를 수행하고 있으며, 이는 환경 영향 평가법에서 정한 건축 사업 시행 시 수반되어야 할 자연환경, 생활환경 그리고 사회경제환경의 영향 평가의 일환으로 실시되고 있다. 그러나, 풍동 실험의 경우 여러 가지 현실적 제약조건으로 설계와 실험의 피드백 (Feedback)이 원활하지 못하며, 특히 대상 건축물이 공장과 같이 대기 오염원이 되는 경우 실험은 더욱 어려운 형편이다. 이에 대한 보완책으로 전산 유체 역학을 이용한 건축물의 풍압 해석에 의한 풍하중 추정이나 인접 지형-지물의 영향을 고려한 건축물 주위의 풍환경 평가가 있다. 전산 모사에 의해 풍동 실험의 미비점을 보완하고, 보다 상세한 정보를 확보함으로써 건축물의 구조적 안전성의 증대와 환경 피해 감소를 기할 수 있다. 그러나 복잡한 지형-지물이나 건축물 주위의 풍환경에 대한 전산 모사는 주로 두 가지의 기술적 어려움을 수반하게 되다. 그 중 하나는 고정 경계면을 이루는 형상의 복잡성으로 인해 기존에 많이 이용하고 있는 Body-fitted 격자계를 이용하는 경우, 격자 생성 과정이 매우 복잡하고 어려울 뿐 만 아니라 생성된 격자가 주로 비정렬 (unstructured) 특성을 갖게 되어 수치해석 과정의 효율을 저하시키는 요인이 되며, 격자의 형상도 수치해석의 수렴성을 저하시키는 예가 많다. 다른 어려움으로 풍환경은 전형적인 난류 유동장으로서 난류의 전산 해석은 아직도 해결하지 못한 부분이 많다는 점이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 복잡한 지형-지물이나 건축물의 풍하중과 풍환경의 전산 모사 기술 확보를 위하여 수행중인 연구의 일환으로 물체 형상의 기하학적 복잡성의 극복을 위한 가상경계법 (Immersed Boundary Method)과 난류 유동장의 물리적 엄밀성을 높이기 위한 다와동 모사 (Large Eddy Simulation)을 이용한 물체 형상과 무관한 유동장 해석 기술 개발에 대하여 다루고자 한다. 먼저 최근에 유동 해석에 이용되는 방법인 가상경계법(IBM)은 물체를 포함한 전체 전산 영역을 직교 좌표계에 의해 이산화하고, 유동장내 존재하는 물체의 표면에서의 점착 조건을 만족시키기 위하여 지배 방정식에 적절한 외력을 추가로 고려하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 가상경계법을 이용하여 경계층에 위치한 건물 형상의 각진 물체 주위 사이에 형성되는 공동 내부의 비정상 유속 및 압력에 대한 전산 해석을 수행하고, 풍상측 전면에 형성되는 경계층에 의한 영향을 분석하였다.

This study is to look at the effect for deformation of carbon steel for high-presure pipe, on the AE signals produced by tensile test. Acoustic emission(AE) has been widely used in various fields because of its extreme sensitivity, dynamic detection ability and location of growing defects. We investigated a relationship failure mode and AE signals by tensile test, From the tensile test, we could divide into four ranges of the failure modes of elastic range, yield range, plastic range before $\sigma$u, plastic range after $\sigma$u. And failure behaviors of elastic range, yield range, plastic range before $\sigma$u, plastic range after $\sigma$u could be evaluated in tensile test by AE counts, accumulation counts and time frequency analysis. It is expected to be basic data that can protect a risk according to tensile test and bending of pipe material for pressure vessel, as a real time test of AE.

CCS(Carbon Capture and Storage) which is technic to capture and storage the carbon-dioxide is the method that reduces the carbon-dioxide from the industries to prevent earth from the global warming. In order to apply to the practical site, it is inevitable to investigate the possibility of damage in the pipe or components by carbon-dioxide. In this paper, the immersion test is performed to estimate the suitability of the rubber which is used to seal or connect the pipelines because the rubber has not been validated. Also, the immersion test is carried out in a certain condition(pre- and supercritical state).
