Performance-based seismic design allows a structure to develop inelastic response during earthquakes. This modern seismic design requires more clearly defined levels of inelastic response. The ultimate deformation of a structure without total collapse (target displacement) is used to obtain the inelastic deformation capacity (inelastic performance). The inelastic performance of a structure indicates its performance under excitation. In this study, a new energy-based method to obtain the target displacement for reinforced concrete frames under cyclic loading is proposed. Concrete structures were analyzed using nonlinear static (pushover) analysis and cyclic loading. Failure of structures under cyclic loading was controlled and the new method was tested to obtain target displacement. In this method, the capacity energy absorption of the structures for both pushover and cyclic analyses were considered to be equal. The results were compared with FEMA-356, which confirmed the accuracy of the proposed method.

In this paper, numerically evaluated is the crashworthiness of the new design of the standard Korea Electric Multiple Unit Train(K-EMU)[developed by the Korea Railway Research Institute]. The 4-car consist of K-EMU is analyzed under collision conditions such as normal coupling, heavy shunting, light collision and heavy collision to collide against another stationary one at 5 kph, 10 kph, 25 kph and 32 kph, respectively. Energy absorbing capacity of its draftgear commercially available in the market and to be equipped in K-EMU is evaluated under each collision condition. Analytical results show that draftgear only is not enough to provide necessary energy absorbing capacity. It is therefore concluded that additional energy absorbers like mechanical fuses should be adopted to improve the crashworthiness of K-EMU.

The objectives of this paper are to study the effect of key parameters on the cycle performance and capacity and to estimate the cost of latent and sensible energy transportation systems. The overall conductance (UA) of each component, the ambient temperature and the absorber inlet temperature are considered the key parameters. It is concluded that COP of the solution transportation using an absorption system (STA) at ambient temperature is 10% higher than that of the conventional sensible system. It is also found that the cost of STA system can be reduced 7.5 times to that of sensible energy transportation for one year of operation with 10 km transportation distance.

Design of stepwise foam claddings subjected to air-blast is performed based on random Voronoialgorithm. FE models are constructed using the random Voronoialgorithm, and numerical analysis is carried out to simulate deformation mode and energy absorption of the cladding by the ABAQUS/Explicit software. The FE model is validated by test result, and good agreement is achieved. The deformation patterns are presented to give an insight into the influences of distribution on deformation mechanisms. The energy absorbed by the stepwise foam cladding is examined, and the parameter effects, including layer number, gradient, and blast loading, are discussed. Results indicate that the energy absorption capacity increases with the number of layer, gradient degree, and blast pressure increasing.

The performance of microturbine CHP system equipped with an absorption chiller was analyzed by modelling of a microturbine and an absorption chiller. The microturbine having recuperator was simulated by the Brayton cycle model. The mass flow rate and available heat energy of the exhaust gas from the microtubune were simulated, and this results were utilized as input values for the generator of the absorption chiller. The absorption chiller is a single-effect air cooled type having solution heat exchanger. When heat input to the generator increased, the heat transfer rate and UA of the heat exchangers of the absorption chiller proportionally increased. Besides, the COP of the absorption chiller increased with increase of the heat input to the generator under the sufficient size of the evaporator condition. When the capacity of the CHP system increased from 30 to 60 kW, the mass flow rate of the LiBr for the absorption chiller increased by two times, and UA values for evaporator and condenser were increased by 3.9 and 3.4 times, respectively, under the same COP condition.

암모니아수를 이용한 이산화탄소 흡수분리공정에서 흡수액의 재생조건(온도, 압력)이 이산화탄소 흡수성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 실험에 사용된 흡수액은 탄산암모늄($(NH_4)_2CO_3$)을 물에 용해시키어 $CO_2$ 로딩($mol\;CO_2/mol\;NH_3$)이 0.5, 용액 내의 암모니아수 농도가 14, 20, 26 및 32 wt%로 되도록 제조하였고, 이산화탄소의 흡수에 앞서 재생압력(6~18 bar)을 조절하면서 $120{\sim}160^{\circ}C$의 온도범위로 제조된 흡수액을 가열하여 재생하였다. 재생된 흡수액을 기포 반응기에 넣고 12 vol%의 $CO_2$를 함유한 기체를 주입하여 흡수반응을 수행하였다. 실험결과 26 wt%의 암모니아수가 대체적으로 $CO_2$ 흡수량이 높았으며, 특히 재생온도가 $150^{\circ}C$, 재생압력이 14 bar일 때의 $CO_2$ 흡수량은 본 연구의 실험조건에서 $45ml\;CO_2/g$ solution으로 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 적정을 통해 재생된 용액을 분석한 결과 재생압력이 높아질수록 암모니아 손실량은 감소하고, 재생온도가 높아질수록 암모니아 손실량이 증가하였다. 또한 암모니아 농도증가에 따라 암모니아 손실량이 비례적으로 증가하였다. Electrolyte NRTL 모델을 사용하여 Aspen Plus에 적용한 결과 실험 데이터와 거의 일치함을 보였다.

Ca계 및 Na계 탈황제를 대상으로 열중량 분석실험과 승온탈리 실험을 수행하여 탈황제의 열적안정성, 집진기 전단 온도인 $250^{\circ}C$에서 탈황 성능, 그리고 상온에서 흡수용량 등을 비교하여 아래와 같은 결론을 도출하였다. 소석회($Ca(OH)_2$)는 약 $390^{\circ}C$에서 열 분해되기 시작하여 480~$500^{\circ}C$에 이르면 완전하게 분해되었다. 열분해 결과 생성된 생석회(CaO)의 무게는 최초 소석회 무게의 76%로 감소하였다. 중탄산나트륨($NaHCO_3$)은 약 $95^{\circ}C$에서부터 분해되기 시작하여 $190^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서 완전하게 분해되어 처음 도입된 중탄산나트륨 무게와 비교하여 약 63%로 감소하였다. $250^{\circ}C$에서 실시한 열중량 분석 결과, 무수탄산나트륨($Na_2CO_3$)의 경우에는 탈황제 무게의 35%에 해당하는 $SO_2$를 흡수할 수 있고, 생석회는 15.6%, 소석회는 6.5%까지 $SO_2$를 흡수할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. $250^{\circ}C$에서 초기반응 속도를 비교하면, Ca계 탈황제의 경우에는 초기 미반응 시간이 있는 반면에 Na계 탈황제인 무수탄산나트륨에서는 이러한 초기 미반응 시간이 없어, Ca계 반응제의 경우보다 Na계 탈황제의 경우에 $SO_2$와 더 빠른 반응이 진행되었다. 상온에서 실시한 승온탈리 실험 결과, Na계인 무수탄산나트륨보다는 Ca계인 소석회가 더 많은 $SO_2$를 흡수하였다. 따라서 저온에서는 Ca계인 소석회가 적절하고 고온에서는 무수탄산나트륨이 더 적절한 탈황제인 것으로 판단된다.

The utilization of geopolymer recycled aggregate concrete (GRAC) as the infilled core of the concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns provides superior economic and environmental benefits. However, limited research exists within the field of geopolymer recycled aggregate concrete considered a green and sustainable material, in addition to the limitation of the design guidelines to predict the behavior of such an innovative new material combination. Moreover, the behavior of high-strength concrete is different from the normal-strength one, especially when there is another material of high-strength properties, such as the steel tube. This paper aims to investigate the behavior of the axially loaded square high-strength GRACFST columns through the nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA). A total of thirty-two specimens were simulated using ABAQUS/Standard software with three main variables: recycled aggregate replacement ratio (0, 30, and 50) %, width-to-thickness ratios (52.0, 32.0, 23.4, and 18.7), and length-to-width ratio (3, 5, 9, and 12). During the analysis, the response in terms of the axial load versus the longitudinal strain was recorded and plotted. In addition, various mechanical properties were calculated and analyzed. In view of the results, it has been demonstrated that the mechanical properties of high-strength GRACFST columns such as ultimate load-bearing capacity, compressive stiffness, energy absorption capacity, and ductility increase with the increase of the steel tube thickness owing to the improvement of the confinement effect of the steel tube. In contrast, the incorporation of the recycled aggregate adversely affected the mentioned properties except the ductility, while the increase of the recycled aggregate replacement ratio improved the column's ductility. Moreover, it has been found that the increase in the length-to-width ratio significantly reduced both the failure strain and the energy absorption capacity. Finally, the obtained NLFEA results of the ultimate load-bearing capacity were compared with the corresponding predicted capacities by numerous codes. It has been concluded that AISC, ACI, and EC give conservative predictions for the ultimate load-bearing capacity since the confinement effect was not considered by these codes.

본 연구에서는 기-액 평형장치와 반응열 측정장치를 이용하여 2-methylpiperidine (2MPD), 3-methylpiperidine (3MPD), 4-methylpiperidine (4MPD) 흡수제의 이산화탄소 흡수특성을 연구하였다. 기-액 평형장치를 이용하여 각 흡수제의 이산화탄소 흡수능을 알아보았고, 흡수평형 후의 흡수액을 핵자기공명장치(nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy: NMR)로 분석하여 종 형성을 확인하였다. 추가적으로 반응열 측정장치를 이용하여 흡수능에 따른 반응열을 제시하였다. 실험결과 2MPD, 3MPD, 4MPD 흡수제는 작용기 위치에 따라 다른 특성을 나타내었다. Ortho 위치에 메틸기를 가진 2MPD는 입체장애효과로 인하여 흡수반응에서 특이성이 나타났으나 3MPD와 4MPD는 ($H_2O$-piperidine-$CO_2$) 시스템에서 반응 특이성이 나타나지 않았다.
