Safety valve used in LNG/LNG-FPSO ships is a high value valve, and it plays an important role in maintaining a fixed level of pressure by emitting LNG gas out of pipes in LNG piping system under the cryogenic and high-pressure condition when the pressure of the system connected with the LNG storage tank and pipes reaches over the set pressure. The structural stability is required for the inner pressure and thermal load because of the cryogenic and high-pressure condition, and a reliability of the safety valve is necessary for impact and deformation by opening the valve. But, the safety valve, which plays a key role for a safety of the transport and storage system, is depended on imports for over 90%, and in domestic production, the design of the valve is performed on the basis of experiences of the works without quantitative analysis for the inner operation characteristics and structural stability of the valve. In this study, impact velocity is calculated by theoretical analysis for obtaining the structural stability of the guide according to the impact load by opening the valve. The shape of the guide and the diaphragm for satisfying the structural stability are suggested and verified by using a thermal-structural analysis.

Because of the powerful tolerance of overload, dynamic response and anti-erosion, Reluctive Pressure Transducer(RPT), as a measuring element of oil pressure equipment is applied to the measuring system of vessels, air craft. The Electrical reluctance appeared in the pressed diaphragm. To process the reluctance as a electric signal, bridge circuit is used. The design using the reluctance of pressure sensor is described in this paper. For the high efficiency of the sensitive RPT, pressure sensor structure is presented and electrical signal processing is simulated.

The performance evaluation of AOV(air-operated valve) requires the processes to confirm the actuator system capability. It is necessary to evaluate the thrust of the air actuator for the margin evaluation. In this paper, to evaluate and analysis the air actuator, the performance test system and operating program are developed. This system is composed of several sensors such as pressure sensor, LVDT, and LoadCell which are used to get the data for evaluation. The LabVIEW was used for developing the operating program. The test system and operating program are proved through the actual test of the diaphragm actuator.

One of the major differences of Korean residential building compared with other countries is a rigid diaphragm of a floor due to the panel heating system. An increment of a gravity floor load might cause vibration problem when the composite floor system is introduced to the panel heating system. Since the noise criteria of a residential building is lower than that of an office building, the development of a noise absorbing system should be preceded. The response evaluation was performed for the finished floor, that is with panel heating and noise absorbing system. The natural frequency was obtained both from an experimental study and an analytical study. An appropriate vibration condition of a floor with panel heating and noise absorbing systems was evaluated from this study.

We have developed the hardware and software for automation of the national medium vacuum standard. The automation is necessary to control and monitor the complex system consists of several vacuum chambers, pumping systems, vacuum gauges, thermometers, and valves. By using the automation program, we have measured volume ratios of the system and performed calibration of a capacitance diaphragm gauge in order to evaluate the system.

Experimental study is conducted to clarify the pneumatic characteristics of brake system for freight car. KNR(Korean National Railroad)'s freight cars have the laden-tare type control valve of brake system. But, laden-tare type control valve has some shortcomings to match the high speed freight car. Newly developed diaphragm type control valve is introduced to adopt freight car for speed-up. The test using the formated train set consisted of 21 cars is conducted to estimate the pneumatic braking efficiency of the mixed train set. From the results of experiment, the pressure characteristics of each brake cylinder show similar patterns qualitatively. But, in the case of release and brake application, quantitative pressure values of brake cylinder are different.

Micronization of sensor is a trend of the silicon sensor development with regard to a piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor, the size of the pressure sensor diaphragm have become smaller year by year, and a microaccelerometer with a size less than $200{\sim}300{\mu}m$ has been realized, In this paper, we study some of the bonding processes of SCS(single crystal silicon) insulator wafer for the microaccelerometer. and their subsequent processes which might affect thermal loads. The finite element method(FEM) has been a standard numerical modeling technique extensively utilized in micro structural engineering discipline for design of SCS insulator wafers. Successful temperature distribution analysis and design of the SCS insulator wafers based on the tunneling current concept using microaccelerometer depend on the knowledge about normal mechanical properties of the SCS and $SiO_2$ layer and their control through manufacturing processes.

A technology of full time four wheel drive(4WD) vehicle has been improved greatly, and the market share of full time 4WD has been extended steadily in recent days. The transfer case is an essential element in the 4WD automobile. In this paper, the details of electronically controlled transfer case is described. In order to achieve easy shifting, the shifting, the developed system automate the conversion of "$4\times2\longleftrightarrow4\times4(H)\longleftrightarrow4\times4(L)$". Furthmore, this system employs an chain drive type instead of gear drive type for drive type and synchromesh type instead of constant-mesh type for gear mesh type. Therefore, the developed transfer case is accomplished light-weight, low noise, and compact.d compact.

Fluid Confirmation Tests(FCT) on 1500 ground Anchors install in weathered rock were carried out to investigate upper and lower limit of elastic elongation, frictional resistant of fixed anchor body, mobilized angle between anchor body and soil. All the measured data were analysed and compared with theoretical equations. The frictional angles of diaphragm wall and anchorage system in weathered rock showed nonlinear curve between upper and lower limit of standard elongation. The FCT results indicated that the frictional resistant angles increased with higher values of surcharge load. The quality assurance on the fixed anchor location was investigated by means of measuring elastic elongation during the FCT, and comparing these with theoretical design length, the quality of anchors in this particular site found to be above average standard. The results of this research works with provide valuable guide line on quality assurance of anchors system as well as resonable prediction of friction resistance between the fixed anchor body and the weathered rock.

Recently, the speed reducer which is applied to robot has conducted a steady development on developments in the field of robotics. Among them, Harmonic drive is a high-stiffness, precision-controlled speed reducer and has high precision, compact, light in weight and high-reduction-ratio characteristics. The feature of flexspline of Harmonic Drive are two types. One is Cup type, the other is Silk Hat type. Silk Hat type is used in case of lighter and more compact in spatial because Silk Hat Type is hollow. According to the shape of silk hat, diaphragm is fractured because stress is concentrated. In this paper, the various shapes of silk hat are suggested to improve the durability of silk hat. And in the case of each shape, a study on stress and deformation using the FEM tool was carried out on flexspline.
