The shipbuilding industry uses large stationary tanks to store low-pressure air, which is used to open and close large shut-off valves. However, when supplying air from the tank to a distant valve, there are problems related to the need for supplementary pipes and the pressure drop during transportation. In this study, a portable welded vessel for storing high-pressure nitrogen (11 kg, 10 L, and 50 bar) was designed to prevent air leakage and improve the convenience of workers. This pressure vessel was elliptical to reduce the number of welded parts, which are structurally weak. The thickness and ratio of the major and minor axes of the pressure vessel were calculated to verify its structure stability at the working pressure (50 bar), and that the proposed weight and capacity were satisfactory. The residual stress caused by the welding process was calculated by performing a transient thermal-structural coupled field analysis using the ANSYS parametric design language (APDL), and the fatigue life of the vessel was verified based on the Goodman criterion.

The existing methods for installation of long steel pipe pile have some uneconomical problems such as increase of installation cost and period due to the welding of two piles and removal of soil plug, and decrease of driving efficiency due to the increase of driving resistance resulting from time effect during the welding of piles and removal of soil plug, etc. Thus, in this study, new installation method for long steel pipe pile is suggested to solve the existing problems, and calibration chamber tests were performed to investigate both driving and economical efficiency for the suggested method. The test results showed that the new method increased bearing capacity, and decreased the installation cost and period for long steel pipe piles compared with existing methods.

화학적 가공이란 화학적 절식이라고 말할 수 있는 방법으로서 주조 또는 공작기계에 의한 절삭 가공대신에 약품에 의한 용해작용을 이용해서 성형품을 만드는 방법이라 할 수 있다. 이 방법은 금속자의 눈금의 조각이나 프라스틱 제품에 눈금을 넣는 금형등에 이용되고 있다. 이는 원래 항공기공업방면에서 중용되어 개발된 기계가공에 대응하는 방법이다. 크기나 정밀도에 있어서 주조(die casting)가 부적당한 경우 혹은 모양이나 능률에 있어서 기계절삭에 의하는 것이 부적 당한 경우에는 이 방법이 이용된다. 최근에 와서는 항공기기계제작 분야에 있어서의 알루미늄의 표면가공뿐만 아니라, 자동차, 건축부분의 구조부품의 성형분야에도 진출하는 경향이 있으며 가 공대상금속도 실용금속일반에 걸쳐 확대되어 감으로써 가장 용도가 넓은 철강류에 확대되어 감 으로써 가장 용도가 넓은 철강류에 까지도 응용되어 가는 실정이다. 이와 같이 종래의 기계적인 수단이 유일한 방법이라고 생각되었던 금속가공분야에 있어서 이러한 화학적 가공법이 도입되 었다는 것은 십분주목할만 한 가치가 있다. 이 화학적 가공법의 특징을 종래의 기계가공법과 비교하면 다음과 같다. (1) 피가공판의 크기는 이를 수용하는 가공조의 용량에 따라 제한될뿐이며 어떠한 대형 물이라도 가공 가능하다. (2) 가공모양은 자유롭게 설계할 수 있고 더욱이 1매 금속 판에서 1공정으로서 복잡한 모양으로 성형할 수 있다. (3) 따라서 이작업에서는 리벳팅, 용접등의 부대작업을 필요로 하지 않는다. (4) 그 가공면은 일반으로 평활하고 마루리 연마공정을 생략할 수 있다. (5) 가공조작이 간편하여 특별한 숙련을 요하지 않고 설비도 가공조의에는 별로 고가의 기기류가 필요치 않다. (6) 이상과 같은 이유에서 본법의 가공비는 기계가공에 비해서 일반적으로 저렴하다. Symposium보고및 전문서가 많이 있으나 여기에는 중요한 몇가지만 소개한다.

In this study, we examined the impact caused by chronic exposure to Mn by investigating the degree of brain activation based on the data of recognition activities using fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging). A questionnaire survey, blood tests, and fMRI tests were carried out with respect to two groups. Group 1 was an exposure group consisting of 15 male workers who are 34 years old or older, and who worked for longer than 10 years in a shipbuilding factory as a welder. Group 2 was a control group consisting of 15 workers in manufacturing industries with the same gender and age. The results showed that blood Mn concentration of Group 1($1.3\;{\mu}g/dl$) was significantly higher than that of Group 2($0.8\;{\mu}g/dl$)(p < 0.001), and Pallidal Index (PI) of Group 1 was also significantly higher than that of Group 2 (p < 0.001). PI value of the group whose blood Mn concentration was $0.93\;{\mu}g/dl$ or higher was significantly higher than that of the group whose blood Mn concentration was less than $0.93 \;{\mu}g/dl$ (p < 0.001). As for brain activity area within the control group, the right and the left areas of occipital cortex showed significant activity and the left area of middle temporal cortex, the right area of superior inferior frontal cortex and inferior parietal cortex showed significant activity. Unlike the control group, the exposure group showed significant activity on the right area of superior inferior temporal cortex, the left of insula area. In the comparison of brain activity areas between the two groups, the exposure group showed significantly higher activation than the control group in such areas as the right inferior temporal cortex, the left area of superior parietal cortex and occipital cortex, and cerebellum including middle temporal cortex. However, in nowhere the control group showed more activated area than the exposure group. As the final outcome, chronic exposure to Mn increased brain activity during implementation of arithmetic task. In an identical task, activation increased in superior inferior temporal cortex, and insula area. And it was discovered that brain activity increase in temporal area and occipital area was more pronounced in the exposure group than in the control group. This result suggests that chronic exposure to Mn in the work environment affects brain activation neuro-network.

A collision-free trajectory planning algorithm using an iterative learning concept is proposed for dual robot arms in a 3-D common workspace to accurately follow their specified paths with constant velocities. Specifically, a collision-free trajectory minimizing the trajectory error is obtained first by employing the linear programming technique. Then the total operating time is iteratively adjusted based on the maximum trajectory error of the previous iteration so that the collision-free trajectory has no deviation from the specified path and also that the operating time is near-minimal. To show the validity of the proposed algorithm, a numerical example is presented based on two planar robots.

By analyzing the operation status of fire safety management of small construction site workers, deriving problems, and suggesting improvement measures, this study was conducted to present practical basic data for their efficient use in the future, and the following conclusions were drawn. First, it was analyzed that small construction site workers are elderly in the age group of construction workers, have short construction skills, most of the jobs are working in the construction industry, and the employment type is non-regular workers. Second, the fire safety management improvement plan of small construction site workers is systematized, fire safety manager is deployed to manage fire risk, fire escape routes and emergency warning facilities are provided to inform all workers at the construction site. In addition, measures to reduce industrial accidents are needed through realistic evacuation training, fire VR training, and interesting educational programs.

Total number of pollution incidents in shipyards was 103 cases over the nation of Korea for the recent 10 years and the average annual number was about 10 cases, and annual cases tended to increase from 8 cases in 2004 to 23 cases in 2010 and then to decrease to 9 cases in 2013. The location data of pollution incidents showed 32 cases in Busan metropolitan city (31%), 30 cases in Jeonnam (29%), 21 cases in Gyeongam (21%), 5 cases in Jeju (5%), 4 cases in Gangwon (4%), 4 cases in Gyeongbuk (4%), 3 cases in Chungnam (3%) and 3 cases in Incheon metropolitan city (3%). According to the data of work types of shipyards, 60 cases happened during the work of ship repair (58%), 25 cases during the work of ship breakup (24%), 10 cases in the course of ship building (10%) and 8 cases by others (8%). The data of pollutant type showed oil and oily mixtures to be 59 cases (57%), waste paint dust to be 22 cases (21%), iron dust and welding slag to be 13 cases (13%), wastes to be 4 cases (4%), waste FRP powder to be 3 cases (3%), and others to be 2 cases (2%).

This paper analyses current densities induced inside a worker using AC arc welder. Applying the boundary element method, we calculate current densities induced in organs inside a worker in case he was located at 1cm, 3cm, 5cm, 10cm, 15cm, 20cm far from a power cable of AC arc welder. As results of study, we find a maximum current density induces at a heart surface and may be higher than $10mA/m^2$ of ICNIRP guideline if he works within 15cm from a power cable.

Power cable of an AC arc welder can surround a body of worker at the moment of welding. Applying the boundary element method, we calculated current densities induced in organs inside a worker in case he weared a multi-layer shielding cloth. We know these were lowest when high permeability materials such as silicon and permalloy were applied to the interior of a suit and high conductivity materials such as copper were to the exterior.
