As fuel burnup proceeds, thermal gradients, differential swelling, and inter-assembly loading may induce assembly duct bowing. Since duct bowing affects the reactivity, such as long or short term power-reactivity-decrement variations, handling problem, caused by top end deflection of the bowed assembly duct, and the integrity of the assembly duct itself. Assembly duct bowing were first observed at EBR-ll in 1965, and then several designs of assembly ducts and core restraint system were used to accommodate this problem. In this study, NUBOW-2D KMOD was used to analyze the bowing behavior of the assembly duct under the KALIMER(Korea Advanced Liquid MEtal Reactor) core restraint system conditions. The mechanical behavior of assembly ducts related to several design parameters are evaluated. ACLP(Above Core Load Pad) positions, the gap distance between the ducts, and the gap distance between the duct and restraint ring were selected as the sensitivity parameter for the evaluation of duct deflection.

Sequential sampling approaches of a metamodel that sampling points are updated sequentially become a significant consideration in metamodeling technique. Sequential sampling design is more effective than classical space filling design of all-at-once sampling because sequential sampling design is to add new sampling points by means of distance between sampling points or precdiction error obtained from metamodel. However, though the extremum points can strongly reflect the behaviors of responses, the existing sequential sampling designs are inefficient to approximate extremum points of original model. In this research, new sequential sampling approach using the sensitivity of Kriging model is proposed, so that new approach reflects the behaviors of response sequentially. Various sequential sampling designs are reviewed and the performances of the proposed approach are compared with those of existing sequential sampling approaches by using mean squared error. The accuracy of the proposed approach is investigated against optimization results of test problems so that superiority of the sensitivity approach is verified.

This paper presents the see-saw type RF MEMS switch based on a single crystalline silicon structure with narrow gap vertical comb. Low actuation voltage and high isolation are key features to be solved in electrostatic RF MEMS switch design. Since these parameters in conventional parallel plate RF MEMS switch designs are in trade-off relationship, both requirements cannot be met simultaneously. In the vertical comb design, however, the actuation voltage is independent of the vertical separation distance between the contact electrodes. Therefore, the large separation gap between contact electrodes is implemented to achieve high isolation. We have designed and fabricated RF MEMS switch which has 46dB isolation at 5GHz, 0.9dB insertion loss at 5GHz and 40V actuation voltage.

Rail-mounted cranes can be easily damaged by a sudden gust of wind while working at a running speed, due to the large mass and high barycenter positions. In current designs, working rail-mounted cranes mainly depend on wheel braking torques to resist large wind load. Regular brakes, however, cannot satisfactorily stop the crane, which induces safety issues of cranes and hence leads to frequent crane accidents, especially in sudden gusts of wind. Therefore, it is necessary and important to study the braking performance of working rail mounted cranes under wind load. In this study, a simplified mechanical model was built to simulate the working rail mounted gantry crane, and dynamic analysis of the model was carried out to deduce braking performance equations that reflect the qualitative relations among braking time, braking distance, wind load, and braking torque. It was shown that, under constant braking torque, there existed inflection points on the curves of braking time and distance versus windforce. Both the braking time and the distance increased sharply when wind load exceeded the inflection point value, referred to as the threshold windforce. The braking performance of a 300 ton shipbuilding gantry crane was modeled and analyzed using multibody dynamics software ADAMS. The simulation results were fitted by quadratic curves to show the changes of braking time and distance versus windforce under various mount of braking torques. The threshold windforce could be obtained theoretically by taking derivative of fitted curves. Based on the fitted functional relationship between threshold windforce and braking torque, theoretical basis are provided to ensure a safe and rational design for crane wind-resistant braking systems.

본 연구에서는 교통시설 하부구조인 옹벽(중력식 옹벽)에 가해지는 수평토압의 크기에 교통하중이 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 교통시설 하부구조인 옹벽에서 상부 교통하중이 옹벽 안전성에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 교통하중으로 인해 옹벽에 유발되는 수평토압은 도로의 차선 수, 차량 하중의 크기 및 옹벽으로부터 떨어진 거리 등의 영향을 받을 것이다. 따라서 이들 변수를 대상으로 수치해석한 결과, 차량하중 이격거리가 옹벽 높이보다 클 경우 수평토압의 변화는 미미하였다. 따라서 상부에 교통하중을 받는 도로옹벽 설계 시 옹벽내측으로부터 교통하중까지의 이격거리가 옹벽의 높이 내의 교통하중만을 고려하는 것이 실용적이고 합리적이다.

Utilizing 2-dimensional device simulations incorporating lattic eheating models, we analyzed in detail the DC breakdown characterisics of NMOS trasistors with different structures, which are commonly used as ESD protection transistors. The mechanism leading to device failure resulting from electrostatic discharge was explained by analyzing the 1st and 2nd breakdown characteristics of LDD devices. Also a criteria for more robust designs of NMOS transistor structures against ESD was suggested by examining the characteristics changes with changes in structural parameters such as the LDD doping concentration, the drain junction depth, the distance between source/drain contacts, and the source junction area.

We consider a design of a combined quantizer and estimator for distributed systems wherein each node quantizes its measurement without any communication among the nodes and transmits it to a fusion node for estimation. Noting that the quantization partitions minimizing the estimation error are not independently encoded at nodes, we focus on the parameter regions created by the partitions and propose a cluster-based quantization algorithm that iteratively finds a given number of clusters of parameter regions with each region being closer to the corresponding codeword than to the other codewords. We introduce a new metric to determine the distance between codewords and parameter regions. We also discuss that the fusion node can perform an efficient estimation by finding the intersection of the clusters sent from the nodes. We demonstrate through experiments that the proposed design achieves a significant performance gain with a low complexity as compared to the previous designs.

In case that multiple jammers are transmitting the signals which are the same type a general algorithm based on TDOA method cannot estimate the positions of multiple jammers because there are many TDOA measurements including true and false values. This paper, therefore, designs a new algorithm based on TDOA method to localize multiple jammers. In this algorithm, TDOA measurements are obtained by rotating the reference sensor, and then the positions of multiple jammers can be estimated by detecting congregated point among the multiple estimated positions from TDOA measurements. Through computer simulations, it is verified that this algorithm localizes the multiple jammers well. The performance of the algorithm are also analysed by changing the distance between sensors and jammer, and sampling frequency.

고효율 태양전지용 단결정 실리콘 웨이퍼는 쵸크랄스키 성장법으로 석영도가니 속의 실리콘 액체에서 단결정 잉곳을 성장시켜 제조된다. 석영도가니 성분 중의 하나는 산소는 실리콘 잉곳으로 유입되고, 태양전지의 전력변환 효율 저하 문제를 발생시킨다. 이러한 산소 유입을 줄이는 다양한 방법 중 하나는 히터의 모양과 구조를 변경하는 방법이 있다. 그러나 히터 구조 변경 시 단결정 실리콘 잉곳 바디 성장에 필요한 온도 분포경향에 큰 변화를 일으킨다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 쵸크랄스키 실리콘 성장에서 다양한 히터의 구조와, 히터와 석영도가니의 상대적 위치가 단결정 실리콘 잉곳 Body 성장 시의 ATC 온도와 Power 분포경향에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 삼중점과 히터 중심과의 위치가 가장 먼 SSH-Low가 가장 높은 ATC 온도 분포경향을 보여주었다. 또한 길이가 짧은 Short Side Heater(SSH-Up, SSH-Low)보다는 실리콘 액체를 담고 있는 석영도가니 측면의 많은 영역을 커버할 수 있는 일반 Side Heater(SH)가 가장 Power 소모 측면에서 유리하였다. 특히 본 연구 결과를 통해 고효율 태양전지용 단결정 실리콘 잉곳 성장 시 필요한 효율적인 ATC 온도를 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

효율적인 최적설계를 위해 공학분야에 도입된 대체모델의 정확성은 표본점에 큰 영향을 받는다. 대체모델의 정확성을 높이는 방법으로 기 추출한 응답을 이용하는 순차실험계획이 제안되었다. 크리깅 대체모델의 상관계수를 가중치로 적용하여 대체모델의 정확성을 향상시킨 연구가 있었으나, 주어진 정보가 부족하거나 상관계수가 잘못 추정된 경우 표본점이 잘못 추출되어 대체모델의 강건성이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 기존 순차실험계획의 여러 문제점을 제시하고, 이를 해결하기 위한 가중함수 기반 순차 최소거리최대화계획을 제안한다. 제안하는 순차실험계획의 효용성을 수학 함수에 적용하여 기존 순차실험계획들과 비교하여 정확성과 강건성이 향상됨을 예시한다.
