본 연구에서는 PFC3D를 사용한 폭원모델링 기법을 제안하고, 제안된 기법을 시멘트 모르타르와 같은 연약재료의 발파에 적용하여 그 적용성을 시험해 보았다. PFC3D는 개별요소법(DEM)을 기반으로 하고 있어 응력파의 전파와 재료의 동적 파괴현상을 모사하는데 적합한 코드로 분류된다. 폭원모델링 과정에서는 공내입자들의 반경을 팽창/수축시키는 기법을 통해 공벽입자들에 접촉력의 형태로 폭발압력을 부여하는 방법을 사용하였으며, 입력하중에 따라 공벽에서 유발되는 접촉력을 계산단계마다 측정 및 보정함으로써 폭발압력의 크기를 제어할 수 있도록 하였다. 시멘트 모르타르 블록의 발파모델링 과정에서는 기존의 외력을 이용하는 방법과 본 연구에서 제안하고 있는 접촉력을 이용하는 기법을 각기 적용함으로써 연약재료의 파괴과정을 정성적으로 비교하여 보았다. 해석결과, 제안된 폭원모델링 기법을 적용한다면 암석이나 콘크리트와 같은 공학재료들이 발파과정에서 보이는 파괴거동을 수치적으로 보다 유사하게 모사 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Laser Assisted Thermo-Compression Bonding (LATCB) has been proposed to improve the "chip tilt due to the difference in solder bump height" that occurs during the conventional semiconductor chip bonding process. The bonding module of the LATCB system has used a piezoelectric actuator to control the inclination of the compression jig on a micro scale, and the piezoelectric actuator has been directly coupled to the compression jig to minimize the assembly tolerance of the compression jig. However, this structure generates a lateral force in the piezoelectric actuator when the compression jig is tilted, and the stacked piezoelectric element vulnerable to the lateral force has a risk of failure. In this paper, the optimal design of the flexure hinge was performed to minimize the lateral force generated in the piezoelectric actuator when the compression jig is tilted by using the displacement difference of the piezoelectric actuator in the bonding module for LATCB. The design variables of the flexure hinge were defined as the hinge height, the minimum diameter, and the notch radius. And the effect of the change of each variable on the stress generated in the flexible hinge and the lateral force acting on the piezoelectric actuator was analyzed. Also, optimization was carried out using commercial structural analysis software. As a result, when the displacement difference between the piezoelectric actuators is the maximum (90um), the maximum stress generated in the flexible hinge is 11.5% of the elastic limit of the hinge material, and the lateral force acting on the piezoelectric actuator is less than 1N.

Korea Nuclear Fuel is developing the X-GEN fuel which shows high performance and robust reliability for the worldwide supply. However, the simplified code systems such as CESEC-III which were developed in 1970s are still used in the current Non-LOCA safety analysis of OPR1000 and APR1400 plants. Therefore, it is essential to secure an advanced safety analysis methodology to make the best use of the merits of X-GEN fuel. To accomplish this purpose, the $\b{i}$ntegrated $\b{s}$afety $\b{a}$nalysis $\b{m}$ethodology (iSAM), is developed by selecting the best-estimate thermal-hydraulic code RETRAN. iSAM possesses remarkable advantages, such as generality, integrity, and designer-friendly features. That is, iSAM can be applied to both OPR1000 and APR1400 plants and uses only one computer code, RETRAN, in the whole scope of the non-LOCA safety analyses. Also the iSAM adopts the unique and automatic initialization and run tool, $\b{a}$utomatic $\b{s}$teady-$\b{s}$tate $\b{i}$nitialization and $\b{s}$afety analysis too l (ASSIST), to enable unhandy designers to use the new design code RETRAN without difficulty. In this paper, a brief overview of the iSAM is given, and the results of applying the iSAM to typical non-LOCA transients being checked during the reload design are reported. The typical non-LOCA transients selected are the single control element assembly withdrawal (SCEAW) accident, the asymmetric steam generator transients (ASGT), the locked rotor (LR) accident, and bank CEA withdrawal (BCEAW) event. Comparison to current licensing results shows a close resemblance; thus, it reveals that the iSAM can be applied to the non-LOCA safety analysis of OPR1000 and APR1400 plants.

Deterministic accident analysis plays a central role in the nuclear power plant (NPP) safety evaluation and licensing process. Traditionally the conservative approach opted for the point kinetics model, expressing the reactor core parameters in the form of reactivity and power tables. However, with the current advances in computational power, high fidelity multi-physics simulations using real-time code coupling, can provide more detailed core behavior and hence more realistic plant's response. This is particularly relevant for transients where the core is undergoing reactivity anomalies and uneven power distributions with strong feedback mechanisms, such as reactivity initiated accidents (RIAs). This work addresses a RIA, specifically a control element assembly (CEA) withdrawal at power, using the multi-physics analysis tool RELAP5/MOD 3.4/3DKIN. The thermal-hydraulics (TH) code, RELAP5, is internally coupled with the nodal kinetics (NK) code, 3DKIN, and both codes exchange relevant data to model the nuclear power plant (NPP) response as the CEA is withdrawn from the core. The coupled model is more representative of the complex interactions between the thermal-hydraulics and neutronics; therefore the results obtained using a multi-physics simulation provide a larger safety margin and hence more operational flexibility compared to those of the point kinetics model reported in the safety analysis report for APR1400. The systems engineering approach is used to guide the development of the work ensuring a systematic and more efficient execution.

The GMT-Consortium Large Earth Finder (G-CLEF) is the first instrument for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). G-CLEF is a fiber feed, optical band echelle spectrograph that is capable of extremely precise radial velocity measurement. G-CLEF Flexure Control Camera (FCC) is included as a part in G-CLEF Front End Assembly (GCFEA), which monitors the field images focused on a fiber mirror to control the flexure and the focus errors within GCFEA. FCC consists of an optical bench on which five optical components are installed. The order of the optical train is: a collimator, neutral density filters, a focus analyzer, a reimager and a detector (Andor iKon-L 936 CCD camera). The collimator consists of a triplet lens and receives the beam reflected by a fiber mirror. The neutral density filters make it possible a broad range star brightness as a target or a guide. The focus analyzer is used to measure a focus offset. The reimager focuses the beam from the collimator onto the CCD detector focal plane. The detector module includes a linear translator and a field de-rotator. We performed thermoelastic stress analysis for lenses and their mounts to confirm the physical safety of the lens materials. We also conducted the global structure analysis for various gravitational orientations to verify the image stability requirement during the operation of the telescope and the instrument. In this article, we present the opto-mechanical detailed design of G-CLEF FCC and describe the consequence of the numerical finite element analyses for the design.

광모듈에서는 반도체소자와 광섬유간의 복잡한 정렬에 필요한 패키지비용이 제조단가의 많은 비중을 차지하고 있어 수동정렬방식으로 광정렬절차를 제거하여 패키지비용을 절감하는데 대한 많은 연구가 행해지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 단일 모드 광섬유와 레이저 및 광검출기를 수동적으로 광결합시킬 수 있는 실리콘 광학벤치를 제작하고 이를 사용하여 광송수신기용의 광부모듈을 제작하였다. 기판의 구조에 있어서 V-홈에 정렬된 광섬유와 플립칩 본딩되는 LD간의 위치 정밀도를 개선하기 위하여 V-홈 식각패턴과 자기정렬된 정렬마크와 솔더댐을 사용하고 레이저의 높이조절 및 열방출을 위하여 도금된 금 받침대를 도입하였다. 실리콘 광학벤치를 이용하여 수동정렬방식으로 조립된 송신기용 광부모듈은 평균 -11.75.+-.1,75 dB의 광결합효율을 나타내었고 수신기용 광부모듈은 평균 -35.0.+-.1.5 dBm의 수신감도를 나타내었다.
