A cylindrical secondary Li-ion cell is a device in which stored chemical energy is converted to electrical energy via an electrochemical reaction. These cells are widely used for applications that require high capacity and rate power, such as notebooks, power tools, and electric vehicles. The role of a center pin is to retain the channel for gas release, preventing blockage of the hollow of the jelly roll during a charge-discharge cycle, and to prevent an internal short circuit for tearing of separator under mechanical free fall. In this paper, two experiments are conducted with and without the center pin to experimentally verify the importance of the role of the center pin. The first experiment is a 50-cycle charge-discharge cycle test, and the second is a free fall test conducted according to the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards. Based on these experiments, we demonstrate that the center pin in a cylindrical cell is a very important component in terms of safety.

This study introduces an adaptive design of experiment (DoE) approach for the hypersonic shock-tunnel testing. A series of experiments are conducted to model the pitch moment coefficient of a cone as the function of the angle of attack and the pitch rate. An algorithm to construct the trajectory of the test model from the images obtained by the high-speed camera is developed to effectively analyze multiple time series experimental data. An adaptive DoE procedure to determine the experimental point based on the analysis results of the past experiments using the algorithm is proposed.

Worldwide, soil compaction work is one of the most important activities that are carried out on civil engineering works sites. Compaction work, particularly in the area of road construction, is considered to be important, as poor compaction work is closely related with poor construction even after a construction is complete. Currently, the plate bearing test or the sand cone method relative to the unit weight of soil test are commonly used to measure the degree of compaction, but as these require a great deal of time, equipment and manpower, it is difficult to secure economic efficiency. The method that is used to measure the degree of compaction according to the penetration depth achieved by free fall objects through gravity is the Free-Fall Penetration Test (FFPT), which uses a so-called "portable compaction measuring meter (PCMM)." In this study, the degree of compaction was measured and a penetration depth graph was developed after the field test using the portable compaction measuring meter. The coefficient of determination was 0.963 at a drop height of 10 cm, showing the highest level of accuracy. Both horizontal axis and longitudinal axis were developed in a decimal form of graph, and the range of allowable error was ${\pm}1.28mm$ based on the penetration depth. The portable compaction measuring meter makes it possible to measure the degree of compaction simply, quickly and accurately in the field, which will ensure economic efficiency and facilitate the process management.

Scour characteristics of noncohesive bed materials at the downstream of free-falling jet were analyzed through hydraulic experiments. It was assumed that the downstream had no special energy dissipators. Flow characteristics of free falling jet from rectangular section were studied, and scour characteristics with and without mounds, which were generated at the downstream of the scour hole, were comparatively analyzed for various bed materials, discharges and tailwater depths. Not only the equilibrium scour depth but also the height of mound could be expressed as a function of densimetric Froude number. Densimetric Froude number had closer relationship with the equilibrium dimensionless scour depth than other dimensionless parameters. It was suggested that the mound effects should be considered at the design stage of bed protection works.

In case of estimating the shocking vibration during the blasting demolitions, the weight and falling height of the structure, that is a potential energy, had been considered. But, this study presented a new equation which used the impulse concerning a falling weight instead of potential energy as a method of predicting the shock vibration. In this experiment, the data of the impulse were compared with the data of the potential energy by performing the free-fall, and all data were comparatively analyzed by the regression analysis method. Also, the method of the superposition theory, which is calculated by the diminution ratio according to distance, the free-fall difference according to height, and the time giving the shock to the ground according to the breakdown pattern, was compared with the previous vibration data occurring from the blasting demolitions in the same conditions. As a result, this study suggests that the impulse and the method of superposition theory be applied as a method of predicting the shocking vibration. Therefore, these results could be expected to estimate the shocking vibration more accurately than the previous method.

Low-velocity impact damage of a thick pressure vessel by composite materials was studied using the modified Herzian contact radius theory. Impactors of various masses and various tup shapes were dropped freely in the range of 20m to 200mm height. With acceleration gage and strain gage installed on the impactor, impact force and acceleration and Contact radius were measured. After a test, the samples were radiographed to scan the state of damage. Compared with hemispherical tup of 12.7mm diameter, the contact radius of hemispherical tup of 25.4mm diameter was bigger. And the experimental data and the theoretical data was different due to the mechanical properties difference. The acceleration value was changed linearly according to the height.

The prediction of the separation trajectories of external stores carried by military aircraft is an important task in the area of aircraft design having the objective to define the operational, release envelopes. This paper presents the results obtained for safe store separation from a fighter aircraft by experimental methods in the subsonic wind tunnel. The problems associated with separation of external stores can be studied by the use of several wind-tunnel test techniques. Attention is given the two most useful techniques: 1) dynamically scaled drop-model testing, 2) grid testing. A description of each method is given and data obtained are shown to validate the similarity within acceptable limits.

계단형태의 고온발생장치로서, 고온의 흐름을 형성하고 난류유동이 없이 일정한 혼합기류를 만들 수 있는 2단격막구조 충격파관 장치를 이용하여, 혼합을 동반하지 않는 분무의 착화과정에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 본 실험에서는 충격파관 속에 하향으로 설치된 초음파 분무기에 의해 자유낙하 상태에 있는 예혼합 분무주를 만들어서 반사충격파에 의해 순간적으로 단열압축시켜서 착화 현상을 관찰하였다. 고온영역과 저온영역에서 얻어진 활성화에너지는 큰 차이가 나며 본 연구에서 얻은 착화지연의 실험결과는 통상의 분무착화 실험인 전기로법, 급속압축기법, 고온기류속에 연료를 분사하는 방법과 다른 현상을 보였다. 그 대표적인 결과에 대한 예로는 착화지연에 대한 압력 의존성과 연료분사율의 영향이 일반적인 분무의 결과에 비해 적게 나타났다.

작업 중 공구를 관에 떨어뜨리거나 작업하기 위해 관을 이동하던 중 다른 물체에 부딪힐 경우 복합재로 만들어진 관이 손상을 입게 되는 경우가 생기는데 관이 상황에 따라 얼마나 손상을 입었는지가 본 연구의 관심이다. 충격자는 직경이 25.4mm와 12.7mm인 반구형 2종류와 모서리의 직경이 15mm인 원추형 1종류로 각각 무게가 다르며, 떨어뜨리는 자유낙하 높이는 120mm에서 700mm로 종류에 따라 간격을 달리했다. 실험 장치로는 Dynatup 8250을 사용했으며 충격에너지, 최대충격하중, 충격변위, contact diameter를 측정했다. 시험 후 시편은 방사선 촬영을 하여 충격자의 종류에 따라 손상의 정도가 어떻게 다른지를 파악했다. 직경이 25.4mm인 반구형의 충격자는 표면의 손상은 적었으나 복합재 관의 내부에 delamination이 많이 생겼으며 직경이 12.7mm인 반구형의 충격자는 표면의 손상이 심했으나 내부의 delamination이 상대적으로 적었다. Contact diameter와 최대충격하중과의 관계는 실험치와 이론치가 잘 일치했으나 Kinetic energy와 최대충격하중과의 관계는 실험치와 이론치의 차이가 있었다.

This research describes quantitative effects of initial dispersion conditions upon the dispersion randomness of Magnus rotor bomblets. Ratios of the missile spin rate to the missile velocity, a, flight path angles, ${\gamma}$ and altitudes, h, were changed to investigate their effects on dispersion randomness. Dispersion was analyzed through calculation of 6 degree of freedom motion equation with aerodynamic coefficients from wind tunnel experiments. In order to analyze the randomness, regression analysis is adopted to calculate the coefficient of determination. The optimized ratio of the missile spin rate to the missile velocity and flight path angle were obtained and the dispersion altitudes had more effect on the dispersion diameter and had less effect on dispersion than other parameters.
