Steel plate concrete (SC) composite structure is now being recognized as a promising technology applicable to nuclear power plants as it is faster and suitable for modular construction. It is required to identify its dynamic characteristics prior to perform the seismic design of the SC structure. Particularly, the damping ratio of the structure is one of the critical design factors to control the dynamic response of structure. This paper compares the criteria for the damping ratios of each type of structures which are prescribed in the regulatory guide for the nuclear power plant. In order to identify the damping ratio of SC shear wall, this study made SC wall specimens and conducted experiments by cyclic lateral load tests and vibration tests with impact hammer. During the lateral loading test, SC wall specimens exhibited large ductile capacities with increasing amplitude of loading due to the confinement effects by the steel plate and the damping ratios increased until failure. The experimental results show that the damping ratios increased from about 6% to about 20% by increasing the load from the safe shutdown earthquake level to the ultimate strength level.

Numerical study is conducted to grasp flame characteristics in $H_2/CO$ syngas counterflow diffusion flames diluted with He and Ar. An effective fuel Lewis number, applicable to premixed burning regime and even to moderately-stretched diffusion flames, is suggested through the comparison among fuel Lewis number, effective Lewis number, and effective fuel Lewis number. Flame characteristics with and without the suppression of the diffusivities of H, $H_2$, and He are compared in order to clarify the important role of preferential diffusion effects through them. It is found that the scarcity of H and He in reaction zone increases flame temperature whereas that of $H_2$ deteriorates flame temperature. Impact of preferential diffusion of H, $H_2$, and He in flame characteristics is also addressed to reaction pathways for the purpose of displaying chemical effects.

To reduce emissions from coal-fired power plants, researchers focusing on coal and biomass co-firing technology. Biomass, with its carbon-neutral nature and lower quantities of nitrogen and sulfur compared with coals, has a positive impact on coal-fired power generation. Many studies on the combustion of biomass have been conducted, but the study on the combustion characteristics of biomass char is limited. FERPM predicts char combustion characteristics with high accuracy by introducing experimental data-based parameters of biomass char and has not yet been applied in numerical simulation. In this study, FERPM is numerically applied to char combustion of wood pellets representing wood-based biomass and the combustion characteristics are compared with the kinetic/diffusion limited model, intrinsic model, and diffusion limited model.

An experimental study was performed to investigate the characteristics of combustion pressure and exhaust emissions when the pilot injection timing and EGR rate were changed in a CRDI 4-cylinder diesel engine. The pilot injection timing and EGR rate have a significant impact on the combustion and emission characteristics of diesel engine. In this study, the pilot injection timing and EGR rate variation were conducted to 2000rpm of engine speed with torque 50Nm. Combustion pressure and heat release rate were decreased under high EGR rate conditions but increased under the pilot injection timing $20^{\circ}$(BTDC). IMEP and the maximum pressure in cylinder(Pmax) were decreased under the same injection timing with the increase of EGR rate. The NOx emission was decreased with increasing the EGR rate. On the other hand, in the same injection timing conditions, CO, HC, $CO_2$ emissions were increased with increasing the EGR rate.

In this paper, we study the transient characteristics of 4H-SiC DMOSFETs with different interface charges to improve the turn-on rising time. A physics-based two-dimensional mixed device and circuit simulator was used to understand the relationship between the switching characteristics and the physical device structures. As the $SiO_2$/SiC interface charge increases, the current density is reduced and the switching time is increased, which is due primarily to the lowered channel mobility. The result of the switching performance is shown as a function of the gate-to-source capacitance and the channel resistance. The results show that the switching performance of the 4H-SiC DMOSFET is sensitive to the channel resistance that is affected by the interface charge variations, which suggests that it is essential to reduce the interface charge densities in order to improve the switching speed in 4H-SiC DMOSFETs.

본 연구에서는 터보차저 및 인터쿨러, 블루 오프 밸브 등 튜닝 부품을 장착한 스쿠푸 알파 차량의 경우 N/A엔진에 비해 흡입 공기량의 변화가 오게 되고 이에 따른 연료 보정 및 ECU의 튜닝을 목적으로 연구되었다. 이와 같은 터보 엔진은 압축압력의 변화가 있게 되며 이때 인위적으로 개스킷의 두께를 조절하여 압축비에 변화를 주게 되면 엔진의 출력 특성 변화를 살펴볼 수 있다. 시험은 제동압력이나 마력 측정이 불가능하므로 ECU튜닝 장비인 모텍 라서치(주)의 Engine Management System장비를 기본으로 시험하였고 성능 공식 전개를 통하여 출력의 변화를 살펴보았다. 엔진 다이나모미터 시험보다 엔진 ECU데이터를 사용하기 때문에 개발된 ECU 데이터를 이용하면 튜닝엔진에 바로 접목시킬 수 있어 앞으로 튜닝 정비 분야에서 많이 필요로 할 것으로 예측된다. 또한 본 연구를 통하여 학생들은 전자제어엔진에 대해 섬도 있는 학습이 되었으며, 정비 관련 산업체에서도 ECU데이터를 이용하여 엔진의 성능을 점검하고 체계적으로 제어할 수 있는 기술의 방향과 토대를 마련하였다고 본다.

A solution is given for the elastodynamic problem of a crack perpendicular to the graded interfacial zone in bonded materials under the action of anti plane shear impact. The interfacial zone is modeled as a nonhomogeneous interlayer with the power-law variations of its shear modulus and mass density between the two dissimilar, homogeneous half-planes. Laplace and Fourier integral transforms are employed to reduce the transient problem to the solution of a Cauchy-type singular integral equation in the Laplace transform domain. Via the numerical inversion of the Laplace transforms, the values of the dynamic stress intensity factors are obtained as a function of time. As a result, the influences of material and geometric parameters of the bonded media on the overshoot characteristics of the dynamic stress intensities are discussed. A comparison is also made with the corresponding elastostatic solutions, addressing the inertia effect on the dynamic load transfer to the crack tips for various combinations of the physical properties.

This paper presents a DSM monitoring methodology that is able to evaluate the impact of DSM programs especially focused on the strategic conservation i.e. the enhancement of end-use energy efficiency. For an effective assessment of DSM programs, it is foremost necessary to examine the market characteristics on the specific end-use appliance according to the customer's adoption of DSM programs. The proposed monitoring methodology contains a diffusion process of high efficient end-uses considering major factors of DSM impact such as, price, reference capacity, forecasted capacity and lifetime of end-use appliances. Case studies show the projection of power reductions and energy savings resulted from DSM monitoring in order to diagnose the current status properly and provide a baseline of DSM policy and analysis.

This study was aimed at ultrafiltration (UF) as a pretreatment before reverse osmosis (RO) within the scheme of hybrid reverse osmosis-multistage flush (RO-MSF) desalination. Seawater at elevated temperature (after MSF heat-exchangers) was used as a feed in this process. The pretreatment system was represented as a set of functionally-linked technological segments such as: UF filtration, backwashing, chemical- enhanced backwashing, cleaning, waste disposal, etc. The process represents the sequences of operating cycles. The cycle, in turn, consists of the following unit operations: filtration, backwashing and chemical-enhanced backwashing (CEB). Quantitative assessment was based on the following indicators: normalized permeability, transmembrane pressure, specific energy and water consumption, specific waste generation. UF pre-treatment is accompanied by the following waste streams: $W1=1.19{\times}10$ power of $-2m^3$ (disposed NaOCl with 0.0044% wt.)/$m^3$ (filtrate); $W2=5.95{\times}10$ power of $-3m^3$ (disposed $H_2SO_4$ with 0.052% wt.)/$m^3$(filtrate); $W3=7.26{\times}10$ power of $-2m^3$ (disposed sea water)/$m^3$ (filtrate). Specific energy consumption is $1.11{\times}10$ power of $-1kWh/m^3$ (filtrate). The indicators evaluated over the cycles with conventional (non-chemical) backwashing were compared with the cycles accompanied by CEB. A positive impact of CEB on performance indicators was demonstrated namely: normalized UF resistance remains unchanged within the regime accompanied by CEB, whereas the lack of CEB results in 30% of its growth. Those quantitative indicators can be incorporated into the target function for solving different optimization problems. They can be used in the software for optimisation of operating regimes or in the synthesis of optimal flow- diagram. The cycle characteristics, process parameters and water quality data are attached.

그간 국내 유압 드리프터는 해외 선진사의 제품을 벤치마킹하여 개발되었지만, 이는 한국형 유압드릴 파워팩 특성(대유량, 저압)에 적합하지 않아 우수한 타격성능을 나타내지 못하였으며, 이로 인해 최적설계에 대한 연구 진행도 미진한 상태였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 대유량을 소화할 수 있도록 용량이 재설계된 유압 드리프터에 대해 다목적함수 최적화를 수행하고, 이를 통해 타격출력 향상과 공급압력 및 서지압력을 감소시키는 것을 목표로 한다. 이러한 연구의 진행방법을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 먼저 타격출력과 공급압력 및 서지압력 개선에 대한 목표를 설정하고 이에 대한 다목적함수 최적화를 수행한다. 이후 최적화된 설계치로 제작된 시제품의 시험결과와 해석모델의 해석결과 비교를 통해 최적화된 해석모델의 신뢰성을 확보한다. 본 연구에서는 유압시스템 해석 소프트웨어인 SimulationX와 다목적함수 최적화 프로그램인 EasyDesign이 사용되었으며, 위와 같은 연구를 통하여 한국형 유압드릴에 적합한 고출력 드리프터 개발 목적에 부합하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
