폴리머 애자용 Shed 재료의 전기방전에 대한 열화내성과 표면발수성은 제품의 장기성능에 있어서 가장 중요한 물성들이다. 그러나 무기보강재의 첨가량이 많아 무결점 성형성을 만족하도록 하기 위해서 Process Oil의 사용이 불가피한데 사용하는 오일의 종류와 양에 따라 옥외절연물의 장기성능에 영향을 주는 표면발수성이나 방전내성은 크게 차이가 나는 것으로 밝혀져 있다. 본 논문에서는 화학적 구조와 점도가 다른 몇 종의 hydroxy silicone oil(HS 오일)을 혼련 (kneading) 하는 과정에 첨가하여 이들 오일의 종류와 양이 고무의 기본적인 물성, 발수성, 방전열화내성， 내트래킹성 등에 어떻게 영향을 주는가를 조사하였다. 코로나 처리시간에 따라서 접촉각의 저하정도와 코로나 처리 후 경과시간에 따른 발수성의 회복특성을 조사하였다. HS 오일의 접도에 따라 초기발수성, 발수성 회복특성의 차이가 많았다. 점도가 낮을수록 초기 발수성 저하는 크며 회복속도는 빠른 반면 점도가 높을수록 초기 발수성 저하는 작은 반변은 발수성 회복속도는 다소 느리게 나타났다 내트래킹성 결과는 점도가 높을수록 우수한 특성을 보였다. 결론적으로 폴리머 애자용 실리콘고무의 컴파운딩에서 실리콘오일의 선택은 성형작업성, 발수성회복특성, 열화내성 외에 가격 등을 고려하여 최적화가 필요하다.

Acceptance level random vibration and life firing test for development model of 1 N-class monopropellant thruster have been performed. From the results of random vibration, the natural frequency of the dual thurst module composed of 1 N-class development model thrusters was higher than the part level requirement(>100 Hz) and the structural robustness was verified. Thrust decrease of steady sate was below 7% and thrust instability was within ${\pm}5%$ in the life firing test using over 20 kg propellant throughput. The computerized tomography for catalyst bed showed a less than 7% of catalyst loss and it revealed the design appropriateness of the current thruster development model.

폴리머 애자용 shed 재료의 전기방전에 대한 열화내성과 표면이 오염된 조건하에서도 우수한 발수성 유지는 제품의 장기성능에 있어서 가장 중요한 인자들이다. 내트래킹성 확보를 위한 보강재로는 ATH가 주로 사용되고 있으며 ATH의 첨가량이 많을 수록 내트래킹성은 대체로 향상되는 것으로 되어 있다. 그러나 애자 제조시 무결점 성형성의 만족이 대단히 중요하기 때문에 ATH를 고충진하는 경우 사용하는 process oil들의 종류 및 첨가량을 고려한 ATH 첨가량의 최적화는 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 ATH를 170 part로 다량으로 첨가하면서 화학적 구조와 점도가 다른 몇 가지 실리콘 fliud들을 사용하여 무결점 성형에 적합한 가소도를 갖는 컴파운드를 제조하여 기본물성과 초고압 옥외절연물의 shed 재료로서 장기성능에 영향을 주는 방전열화내성과 표면발수성의 회복특성을 평가하였다. 컴파운드의 성형작업성과 관련이 큰 가소도는 fluid 점도에 따라 상당한 차이를 보이므로 실리콘 fluid 종류의 선택과 첨가량의 최적화에는 성형작업성, 발수성 회복특성, 열화내성 등의 고려가 필요하다. 무결점 애자성형을 위한 진공 사출에서 고무 컴파운드의 가소도가 중요한데 동일한 ATH첨가조건에서 일정한 가소도를 갖게 하는데 필요한 양은 fluid들의 종류에 따라서 상당한 차이가 있었다. 코로나 처리후 발수성 회복특성은 fluid들의 분자크기와 반응기의 종류에 따라 상당히 영향을 받았으며 분자가 클수록 초기회복속도는 다소 느렸지만 평상시에 늘 유지되는 상시발수성은 다소 높게 유지되었다. 아크와 트래킹 방전에 의한 무게 감소는 ATH가 과량으로 첨가되어 상당히 적었으며 fluid의 분자가 크면서 페닐기를 가진 fluid들이 첨가된 고무가 우수한 특성을 보였다.

Long-term performance of smooth and textured type HDPE geomembranes which were used to the liner and slope systems of waste landfills was examined. Artificial surface defects were added to the surface of geomembranes by scratch addition apparatus specially designed. The mechanical and frictional properties, chemical and ultra violet light resistances and oxidative induction time(OIT) of geomembranes were examined for the cases of defective/non-defective surfaces. Frictional properties of textured type geomembranes showed more excellent than those of smooth type geomembranes. Finally, it was known that the long-term performance of non-defective and textured geomembranes was better than that of defective geomembranes through chemical and UV resistance and OIT tests etc.

Energy efficiency solutions are being pursued as a sustainable approach to reducing energy consumption and related gas emissions across various sectors of the economy. Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) is an energy efficient advanced insulation system that facilitates slim but high-performance insulation, based on a porous core material evacuated and encapsulated in a barrier envelope. Although VIP has been applied in buildings for over a decade, it wasn't until recently that efforts have been initiated to propose and adopt a global standard on characterization and testing of VIP. One of the issues regarding VIP is its durability and aging due to pressure and moisture dependent increase of the initial low thermal conductivity with time; more so in building applications. In this paper, the aging of commercially available VIP was investigated experimentally; thermal conductivity was tested in accordance with ISO 8302 standard (guarded hot box method) and long-term durability was estimated based on a non-linear pressure-humidity dependent equation based on study of IEA/ECBCS Annex 39, with the aim of assessing durability of VIP for use in buildings. The center-of-panel thermal conductivity after 25 years based on initial 90% fractile with a confidence level of 90 % for the thermal conductivity (${\lambda}90/90$) ranged from 0.00726-0.00814 (W/m K) for silica core VIP. Significant differences between manufacturer-provided data and measurements of thermal conductivity and internal pressure were observed.

Metal seals are the main components that establish the containment boundary in bolted casks, which store spent nuclear fuel. These seals are degraded by heat and radiation. In addition, creep occurs when the seals are exposed to intense heat for an extended period. This creep results in the stress relaxation of the seals, which consequently impairs the seal integrity. The stress relaxation can reduce the sealing performance of the metal seal, which can further cause leakage in the storage cask. Moreover, the reduction of bolt tension leads to sealing performance degradation. In this study, the results of high-temperature-accelerated tests were obtained to evaluate the containment integrity of metal seals and the decrease in bolt tension. During the tests, the leakage rate, bolt strain, and ambient temperature of the metal seals were measured and analyzed. The metal seals were found to maintain containment integrity for 50 years of storage. The validity of the acceleration test was also investigated.

The main purpose of this study was to analyze the performance of a medium-altitude long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle through reverse-engineering method. The external configuration data of the RQ-1 Predator was reverse-engineered from related photos and specification data available on public domains, which also were used to generate the CATIA modeling and weigh distribution data of the UAV. The aerodynamic characteristics of RQ-1 Predator were mainly predicted the vortex lattice method and an empirical method, which the propeller performance was analyzed by the empirical method proposed by Howe. The rate of climb, service ceiling, range, and the loiter endurance of the UAV was analyzed, which showed good agreement with the reference data.

In recent years, the geotextile tubes filled with dredged material have been used in dike and breakwater construction for a number of projects around the world, and their use in this field is growing very fast. One of the most attractive advantages of geotextile tube technology is can be use the in-situ filling materials by hydraulic pumping, it can be also established lower costs and fast construction than other technology. Geotextiles form one of the two largest groups of geosynthetics and it is commonly made by two major types of polymer material(Polypropylene, Polyester). The objective of this paper is to examine several issues associated with drainage function and feasibility of geotextile tube structure such as filtering efficiency, dewatering efficiency, and filling process with polymer materials. Based on the laboratory filtering test and in-situ tests, polypropylene goetextile is more effective for drainage function of geotextile tube technology.
