According to the incresement of aging aircraft, Republic of Korea Air Force (RoKAF) conducted a teardown inspection of aircraft's EWIS (electrical wiring interconnection system) to determine the status of deterioration and the influence of failure occurrences due to it. The inspected aircraft were the retired fighter jets that had been used for more than 40 years. By analyzing defect type and the defect tendency, RoKAF can establish the necessary measures for the usage extension of their fleet and furthermore, the analysis results can be used as a basic data for the preparation of it's aircraft aging. EWIS inspection was done throughout careful visual inspection technique by removing all the ducts and pipes located in the fuselage and wings. For the aircraft wiring where no damage was found, the elongation tests were performed to determine the deterioration of wiring according to the location of the aircraft. The connectors, which is the main cause of intermittent failure, were completely disassembled and inspected for internal damage such as corrosion, abrasion, and traces of foreign objects. The detected defects were classified into 4 severity levels based on the type of damage, and the classified defects were weighted according to the criticality which may affects to it's system to establish the action plan.

화력발전소 S/Y(switchyard)의 362 kV GIS에 대한 부분방전 정밀측정을 수행하였다. 2005년 부터 화력발전소 S/Y GIS의 고장예방을 위해 설치 운전승인 UHF 부분방전 상시감시시스템에서 상당히 큰 부분 방전신호가 지속적으로 감지되었다. 상시감시시스템에서 방전신호의 원인을 부유전극으로 추정하였으며, 이에 해당 사업소에서 감지된 방전신호의 노이즈 여부 및 방전 발생위치 추정을 위한 기술지원을 요청하였다. 이에 따라 전력연구원은 방전신호를 정밀 측정한 후 PRPD(phase resolved partial discharge) 분석을 통해 부유전극이 GIS 내부에 존재함을 확인하였으며, TOA(time of arrival)법에 의해 제 1 발전기 step-up 변압기부터 인근 가스절연모선 사이에 결함이 존재하는 것으로 추정하였다. 전력연구원의 측정결과를 바탕으로 발전소측에서 해당 개소를 분해 점검한 결과 가스절연모선의 중앙도체를 지지하는 supporting insulator 금구류의 접촉불량에 의한 부유전극 결함을 발견하고 보수하였다. 보수후 상시감시시스템에서 방전신호가 검출되지 않음에 따라 방전원인이 제거되었음을 확인하였다.

In order to relieve the burden of the rear ablative material, the combustion test of the solid rocket motor with the forward deployed multi-pin grain design was successfully performed twice. However, after disassembling the solid rocket motor, a non-uniform ablation pattern was found in the rear ablative material. Periodic repetition of local and regional ablation was measured precisely. Two-dimensional flow and eddy flow, created by the uneven main-pin flow hitting the rear ablative material, were identified as the cause of non-uniform ablation. In addition. when the rear pins were removed, the possibility of securing the soundness of the rear ablative material was confirmed as the average flow velocity and the standard deviation were lowered.

Gyupyo (圭表, Gnomon) consists of Gyu (圭, Measuring Scale) and Pyo (表, Column), and was one of the traditional astronomical instruments in East Asia. Daegyupyo (Large Gnomon) was manufactured in the Joseon dynasty around 1434 ~ 1435. To increase the measurement accuracy, it was equipped with a Hoengyang (橫梁, Cross-bar) and used a Youngbu (影符, Shadow-Definer) which was invented during the Yuan dynasty (1271 ~ 1368). The cross-bar was installed on the top of the column and this structure was called Eol. In addition, three plumbs hanging from the cross-bar was employed to vertically built Eol on the measuring scale. This method was also used to not only check the vertical of Eol but also diagnose the horizontal of the cross-bar. Throughout this study, we found that a cross-bar in a gnomon has played three important roles; measurement of the shadow length made by the central part of the Sun, increase of the measurement precision using the shadow-definer, and diagnosis of the vertical of Eol and the horizontal of the cross-bar itself using the three plumbs. Hence, it can be evaluated that the employment of a cross-bar and a shadow-definer in a gnomon was a high technology in the contemporary times. In conclusion, we think that this study is helpful for understanding the Large Gnomon of the Joseon dynasty.
