Dissimilar metal welds in nuclear power plant are known as very susceptible to PWSCC flaws, and periodically inspected by the qualified inspector and qualified procedure during in-service inspection period. According to field survey data, the majority of their DMWs are located on tapered nozzle or adjacent to a tapered component. These types of configurations restrict examination access and also limit examination volume coverage. Additionally, circumferential scan for axially oriented flaw is very difficult to detect located on tapered surface because the transducer can't receive flaw response from reflector for miss-orientation. To overcome this miss-orientation, it is necessary adapt skewed ultrasonic transducer accomodate tapered surface. The skewed refracted longitudinal ultrasonic transducer designed by modeling and manufactured from the modelling result for axial flaw detection. Experimental results showed that the skewed refracted longitudinal ultrasonic transducer get higher flaw response than non-skewed refracted longitudinal ultrasonic transducer.

Large number of SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellites, one type of earth observation satellite, have been developed as they have the advantage of not being affected by surrounding environment during the earth image acquisition. In order to gain high image quality, SAR antenna should have large diameter. However, internal space of satellite launch vehicle is limited and this leads SAR antenna to be designed deployable so that it can be folded in launch vehicle and unfolded in space. In this research, values of various design factors of deployable satellite antenna were chosen considering satellite's target mission. Configuration of deployable satellite antenna was designed by applying the chosen values of design factors, and variation in deployable satellite antenna during satellite maneuver was observed through simulation.

3D computer applications provide various functions such as modeling, rendering, animation, lighting and so on. Lighting is the core element in that light visualizes shape and develops characteristics of surface. In spatial design, light is the most important factor in deciding color, texture and illumination level which are the basic factors of spatial design. The purpose of this study is to define the characteristics of lighting in digital space provided by the computer, based on the fact that physical space cannot be separated from digital space, and to show how light in the physical realm relates to computer graphics technologies. This study shows there are following characteristics of light in digital space; iconic light, modifiable surface, shadowless light, 2-dimensional perception, and the particulate aspect of light but not the wave aspect of light. Light in physical or digital space is capable of producing a visual sensation. The experimental space can be realized due to the lack of physics. Further study in new illumination procedures are required as computer media expands.

The steam generators of OPR-1000 plants have Alloy 600 and Alloy 690 as the tube material and its tube expansion method is the explosive expansion method. According to the experience of these plants, circumferential cracks were largely occurred in steam generator tubes expanded by the explosive expansion method and their locations were the outer surface of tube expansion transition region surrounding with piled-up sludge. But even though tubes have the same conditions, tubes with the hydraulic expansion method shows the prevail trend of axial cracks compared to circumferential cracks. Therefore in this study, in order to identify the difference of such phenomena as above, configurations of tube and tubesheet were modeled and at operating conditions, stress values applied in the tube expansion transition area in accordance with tube expansion methods were calculated by using computational program and the direction and the predominance of cracks were evaluated.

파랑의 전파와 변형에 대한 연구에는 수심방향으로 적분한 2차원방정식인 완경사방정식과 Boussinesq 방정식을 기반으로 한 수치모형을 이용한 연구가 최근까지 가장 활발하게 진행되어 오고 있다. 그러나 실제 구조물의 설계에는 2차원 수치모형에서 고려할 수 없는 수심방향 유속에 기인한 정확도의 문제로 인해 구조물의 형상과 재원을 설계하기 위한 정교한 수치모형실험이 어려워 주로 수리모형실험에 의존해 왔다. 수리모형실험은 실제 현상을 가장 잘 재현해낼 수 있어 신뢰성이 매우 높지만 다양한 실험을 수행하기가 어렵고 많은 시간과 비용이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 이에 따라 최근 수심방향으로 완전한 운동방정식인 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 푸는 3차원 수치모형에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이론적으로 매우 우수한 모형이긴 하나 정확도 높은 결과를 얻기 위해서는 매우 조밀한 격자를 필요로 하기 때문에 아직까지 막대한 계산시간이 필요하다는 단점이 있으나 컴퓨터 기술이 급격한 속도로 발전하고 있어 Navier-Stokes 방정식 모형의 적용 가능성은 계속 높아지고 있다. 파랑변형을 다루는 수치모형실험을 수행할 때 외부조파를 사용할 경우 구조물이나 지형에 의해 반사되어 나온 파랑이 조파지점에 도달할 때 실험영역으로 재 반사되는 문제가 발생한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 내부조파기법의 개발에 대한 연구가 필수적이었으며, 자유수면변위를 변수로 사용하는 모형의 경우 그 연구가 매우 활발하게 진행되어 왔다. 한편, Navier-Stokes 방정식 모형의 경우 자유수면변위를 변수로 사용하는 2차원 모형에 비해 상대적으로 연구가 미흡하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 연직 2차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식 모형에 사용된 연속방정식에 질량 원천항을 추가하는 내부조파기법을 도입하여 3차원 수치모형에서 고립파를 내부조파하고, 급경사에서의 고립파의 처오름 및 처내림 현상을 수리모형 실험결과와 비교 및 분석하였다. 수치모형은 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 엇갈림 격자체계에서 계산하는 동수압 모형으로서, Two-step projection 기법을 사용하는 유한차분모형을 사용하였다. 본 수치모형은 난류의 해석을 위해서 상대적으로 큰 에디(eddy)만을 고려하는 SANS(spatially averaged Navier-Stokes) 방정식을 계산하는 LES(large-eddy-simulation) 기반의 수치모형으로, 난류 모델링을 위해 Smagorinsky LES 모형을 사용한다. 또한, 압력장의 계산을 위해 Bi-CGSTAB 기법을 이용하여 Poisson 방정식의 해를 구하였으며, 자유수면 추적을 위하여 2차 정확도의 VOF(volume-of-fluid) 기법을 사용하였다. 수치모형실험이 전체적으로 수리모형실험에서 관측한 파랑의 처오름 및 처내림 현상을 잘 재현하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 정량적인 비교를 통해 수치모형의 성능을 검증하였다.

Textile composite materials have been widely applied in aerospace structures due to their various advantages such as high specific stiffnesses and strengths, better out-of-plane performances, impact and delamination resistances, and net shape fabrications. In this paper, a modified geometric model of repeating unit cell (RUC) is suggested based on the Naik's model for 2D plain weave textile composites. The RUC geometry is defined by various parameters. The proposed model considers another parameter which is a gap length between adjacent yarns. The effective stiffnesses are predicted by using the yarn slicing technique and stress averaging technique based on iso-strain assumption. And the stiffnesses of RUC are evaluated by adjusting the gap ratio and verified by comparing with Naik's model and experimental data for 2D plain weave composite specimens.

This study proposed piezoelectric ceramic bender actuators for application to small walking robots. As the space where human access has recently become increasingly restricted (e.g., highly concentrated radioactive storage areas, viral contaminated areas, terrorist zones, etc.), the scope of using robots is becoming more diverse, and many actions that were possible only in the past have been attempted to be replaced by small robots. This robotic concept has the advantage of being simple in structure, making it compact and producing a large size work force. The dynamic modeling, using finite element analysis, maximized the robot's mobility performance by optimizing the shape of the actuator, and the results were verified through fabrication and experimentation. The actuator moved at a maximum speed of 236 mm/s under no load conditions, and it could move at a speed of 156 mm/s under load conditions of 5g. The proposed actuator has the advantage of modular additions depending on the mission and required performance, which ensured that they are competitive against similar drive sources previously created.

The present work has been developed the interpretation processor including the behavior of material failure and the separation phenomena under transient dynamic loading (the operation of explosive bolt) using AUTODYN V4.3, SoildWork 2003 and TrueGrid V2.1 programs. It has been demonstrated that the interpretation in ridge-cut explosive bolt under dynamic loading condition should be necessary to the appropriate failure model and the basic stress of bolt failure is the principal stress. The use of this interpretation processor developing the present work could be extensively helped to design the shape and the amount of explosives in the explosive bolt having a complex geometry. It is also proved that the interpretation processor approach is an accurate and effective analysis technique to evaluate the separation mechanism in explosive bolts.

This study has been done as a preliminary work in the process of confirming the modeling and calculation results on the dynamic characteristics of closed-type swirl injector which were performed by Ismailov et al. in Purdue university. Closed-type swirl injectors with replaceable swirl chamber parts were designed and manufactured. The steady state spray characteristics of closed-type swirl injector with varying swirl chamber length and diameter were verified. Mass flow rate was measured with a mass flow meter installed in front of the injector, and liquid film thickness was measured by Lefebvre's method with electrodes installed at the orifice of the injector. Variation of spray cone angle and break-up length were investigated from the spray images captured under different manifold pressure conditions.
