울산의 한 실험실에서 3년 전에 혼합가스용기(80% 아르곤 20% 산소)가 파열되었다. 그러나 파열의 원인이 명확하게 규명되지 못하였다. 이 논문은 공인 감정기관의 감정서와 경찰의 수사결과보고서를 토대로 사고시나리오를 제시하여 보았다. 폭발은 혼합가스 용기 내에서의 화학반응에 의하여 발생한 것으로 판단된다. 이는 고압산소용기의 파열사고들과 유사한 것으로 사료된다.

This paper quantitatively analyzes the causes of ammonia-filled- cylinder rupture based on Tait equation and the safety guidelines, focusing on liquid expansion, internal temperature, and overfilling. When there exists a safety volume, i.e., gas-occupied volume within the ammonia cylinder, the internal pressure due to temperature rise corresponds to the vapor pressure at that temperature, with an approximate circumferential stress increase of 1.43 MPa/℃. In the absence of the safety volume, the internal pressure due to temperature rise matches the pressure of the compressed liquid ammonia at that temperature, and the resulting circumferential stress gradient in the cylinder shell is approximately 55.94 MPa/℃.

본 논문에서는 현재 캠핑 문화의 확산에 따라 수요가 증가하는 LGP 재충전 용기에 관한 내압성능을 실험적으로 검증하였다. 겨울철에 부탄가스는 높은 비점의 영향으로 기화가 쉽게 일어나지 않는 물적 특성을 지니고 있다. 하지만 프로판의 경우 비점이 낮아 겨울철에도 기화가 쉽게 일어나 연료로써 공급 필요성이 증가되고 있다. 하지만 프로판은 높은 증기압으로 인해 많은 안전상의 문제가 존재하며, 이를 극복하고 연로로써 유통되기 위해서는 안전한 용기의 공급이 우선시 되어야 한다. 국내외적으로 고압용 소형 재충전 용기의 보급을 시도하고 있으나, 프로판의 높은 증기압으로 인한 안전상의 문제로 제재가 되고 있다. 본 논문은 재충전 용기의 내압성능을 검증하기 위해 수압장치를 이용하여 용기의 가압 및 파열 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 고온에서 프로판의 증기압과 용기 파열시 수압과 비교하여 그 특성을 제시하였다. 수압가압 실험 및 파열 실험을 통해 토출 된 본 논문의 결과는 향후 소형 재충전 용기 개발 연구의 기초가 될 것으로 기대하며, 재충전 용기의 보급에 있어 기준 자료로 활용 될 것으로 사료된다.

호흡용 용기에 흠 등의 결함이 발생하였을 때 용기의 잔존강도를 파악하여 파열압력을 판단해야하지만, 복합재료 용기의 경우 흠에 따른 파열 강도의 예측이 어려우며 기법이 복잡하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Type-I 용기의 면적용량법 적용 결과를 토대로 Type-III 용기에 결함발생시 파열을 예측하기 위해 면적 용량법 모델을 개발하였으며, 그 신뢰성을 확인하기 위해 용기의 외면에 흠을 가공하여 파열시험을 실시하였다. 면적 용량법 모델의 예측 결과와 실험의 경향이 매우 일치하는 경향을 보였으며, 향후 복합재 용기의 파열압력 추정 방법에 있어 중요한 자료가 될 것으로 기대한다.

According to recent research on leak-rate estimates to assess rupture probabilities of nuclear piping which contains a circumferential surface/through-wall cracks due to PWSCC, i.e., xLPR (Extremely Low Probability of Rupture) program, it has been revealed that the use of crack shape with an idealized circumferential through-wall crack during actual crack growth can lead to overestimate of the leak-rate. Thus, for accurate estimation of the leak-rate during crack growth, the more realistic crack shape that can simulate the crack shape transition from surface crack to through-wall crack should be used. In this context, in the present study, the elastic crack opening displacement of slanted circumferential through-wall crack in thick-walled cylinder was proposed based on 3-dimensional elastic finite element fracture mechanics analyses. To propose the elastic crack opening displacement of slanted circumferential through-wall crack in thick-walled cylinder, the geometric variables affecting crack opening displacement, i.e., thickness of cylinder, reference inner crack length and slant crack ratio were systematically varied. In terms of loading conditions, axial tension, global bending moment and internal pressure were considered. The present results can be applied to calculate the leak-rate considering more realistic crack shape transition from surface crack to idealized through-wall crack, and can be expected to enhance current leak-rate estimation scheme, for instance, in xLPR program etc.

본 논문에서는 두꺼운 배관에 존재하는 비 이상화된 원주방향 관통균열의 탄성 응력확대계수 해를 제시하였다. 이를 위해 3차원 탄성 유한요소해석을 수행하였으며, 배관의 형상 및 비 이상화된 원주방향 관통균열의 영향을 고려하기 위해 배관의 두께, 기준균열길이 및 관통균열길이 비를 체계적으로 변화시켰다. 하중 조건으로는 인장하중, 굽힘모멘트 및 내압을 고려하였다. 또한 본 논문에서는 이상화된 원주방향 관통 균열로부터 비 이상화된 원주방향 관통균열의 응력확대계수를 쉽게 계산하기 위해 관통균열 보정계수를 제시하였다. 본 논문의 결과는 실제 균열성장거동을 고려하여 원자력 배관의 배관파단확률을 보다 정확하게 계산하기 위해 적용될 수 있다.

This study was carried out to develop a self-propelled type explosive subsoiler for improving the root zone soil conditions in orchard and other forest fields. Prototype was designed to be able to inject air and other soil improving material such as lime into soil at the same time, and thus improve the air permeability and drainage of orchard soils to promote the root growth of tree for high quality fruit production. Soil penetration device of explosive subsoiler is composed of air hammer, penetration rob and air injection nozzle. To support the soil penetration device of explosive subsoiler to penetrate vertically, modified Scott-Russel mechanism was used. Timing control device for simultaneous injection of soil improving material with air was attached to the out side wall of air cylinder and as the cylinder move, the soil improving material was injected into soil at the same time. Turning radius of prototype was 2.2-2.3 m with good mobility in sloped land. It took approximately 1 minute for lime injection system to reach the optimum pressure of 9.9 kg/$cm^2$, average 10-20 seconds were required to rupture soil with the depth of 50 cm and 2-3 seconds were required for explosion, so all in all about 1 minute and 20 seconds were required for one cycle of explosion. Maximum soil rupture depth and diameter were 50 cm and 3-4 m respectively depending on the soil type and soil moisture content. For final design of explosive subsoiler inclination angle of lime hopper was increased from 60 degree to 70 degree and the shape of hopper was changed from rectangular cone to circular cone to solve the clogging problem of lime at out let. Agitating system operated by compressed air was attached to the metering device of the prototype, thus more than 90 cc of lime was discharged per cycle from metering device without clogging problems.

This paper describes experimental investigations of helium-air exchange flow through openings with vertical partitions. Such exchange flows may occur following rupture accident of stand pipe in high temperature gas cooled reactor. Exchange flow rates are investigated experimentally by using partitioned opening and opening with extended partition to assess fluids interference of the exchange flow at the stand pipe rupture accident. A tests vessel with the two types of opening on top of test cylinder is used in the experiments. An estimation method of mass increment is developed and applied to measure the exchange flow rate. A technique of flow visualization by Mach-Zehnder interferometer is provided to recognize the exchange flows. Amplitude and progress of interference fringes of the flows are observed and used as a support in comparison with the exchange flow rates. Flow passages of upward flow of the helium and downward flow of the air for both two types of the opening are separated by inserted partition within the opening, but in the case of partitioned opening, unseparated flow is formed at the opening entrance and the two flows interface. The exchange flow rate for the partitioned opening is not greater than that of the opening with extended partition because of the fluids interference at the entrance of opening. Finally, the fluids interference at the opening entrance is found to be one of important factors on the helium-air exchange flow rate.

Fuel cell vehicles are equipped with Pressure Relief Devices(PRDs) installed in pressure tank cylinder to prevent the explosion of the tank during a fire. PRDs are safety devices that perceive a fire and release gas in the pressure tank cylinder before it is exploded. But if the PRD does not actuate, because either the PRD fails or can't be surrounded by the flame of a fire, the tank will rupture and produce a blast wave and hydrogen fire ball. In this paper, we observed the fire behavior of actual fuel cell vehicle, comparing with that of gasoline vehicle.

The mechanical behaviors related to the strain rate effect and the tensile strength of high-strength concrete were investigated in this study. For this purpose, concrete cylinder specimens with 4 different compressive strengths from 232kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ to 1113kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ were tested and analysed on the mechanical properties(stress-strain relationship, compressive, modulus of elasticity, strain at peak compressive stress). From this experimental and analytical study, it seems that the current prediction model(ACI) for modulus of rupture need to be refined. Therefore, more refined equations for evaluation tensile strength of concrete are proposed.
