The parametric study of Steel-Al alloy SPR joint process is based on the FE simulation described by Kim et al. [10], which was validated by comparing experimental and simulation results for two kinds of steel-Al alloy combinations according to the lower sheet thickness. To analyze the SPR joint process, the friction coefficient, the lower sheet thickness, and the rivet length were selected as the main parameters. Based on FE simulations, the effect of main parameters was investigated by measuring the interlock and the bottom thickness at the cross-sectional shape of the SPR joint. The results of simulation facilitate the design of SPR joint process in various metal combinations.

This paper presents a method for the nonlinear analysis of beam elements subjected to the cyclical combined actions of torsion, biaxial flexure and axial forces based on an extension of the disturbed compression field (DSFM). The theoretical model is based on a hybrid formulation between the full rotation of the cracks model and the fixed direction of the cracking model. The described formulation, which treats cracked concrete as an orthotropic material, includes a new approach for the evaluation of the re-orientation of both the compression field and the deformation field by removing the restriction of their coincidence. A new equation of congruence permits evaluating the deformation of the middle line. The problem consists in the solution of coupled nonlinear simultaneous equations expressing equilibrium, congruence and the constitutive laws. The proposed method makes it possible to determine the deformations of the beam element according to the external stresses applied.

Cascading failure is the main cause of large blackouts in electrical power systems; this paper analyzes a cascading failure in Hanbit nuclear power plant unit two (2) caused by a circuit breaker (CB) operation failure. This malfunction has been expanded to the loss of offsite power (LOOP). In this study, current practices are reviewed and then the methodologies of how to prevent cascading failures in protection power systems are introduced. An overview on the implementation of IEC61850 GOOSE messaging-based zone selective interlocking (ZSI) scheme as key solution is proposed. In consideration of ZSI blocking time, all influencing factors such as circuit breaker opening time, relay I/O response time and messages travelling time in the communication network should be taken into account. The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on the effect of cascading failure in NPP electrical power protection system and propose preventive actions for this failures. Finally, the expected advantages and challenges are elaborated.

현재 코로나19로 장기화 되고 있는 사회적 거리두기로 인해 '코로나19'와 '우울감(blue)'의 합성어인 '코로나 블루(Corona Blue)'를 겪는 인구가 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 이러한 코로나 블루를 극복하기 위한 실내 취미 생활로 반려 식물을 재배하는 인구가 증가하는 추세이다. 하지만 처음 반려 식물을 키우는 사람들은 급수량 조절에 어려움을 겪는다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 아두이노를 이용한 토양 온습도 측정기를 개발하였다. 또한 이와 연동하여 홈가드닝 최초로 토양의 온습도를 실시간으로 확인할 수 있는 모바일 애플리케이션인 '화분지기'를 개발하였다.

기계·기구, 설비 등(이하 "기계설비")의 주요 위험장소에는 작업자를 통제, 격리하기 위해 방호가드를 고정·설치하는 등 안전사고에 대비하고 있다. 다만 방호가드가 개폐가 용이한 구조일 경우 기계설비 등의 작동 중 작업자 임의 개방에 의한 사고위험에 그대로 노출될 우려가 있어 개폐가 가능한 구조의 방호가드에는 기계설비 가동조건과 연동회로가 구성된 인터록장치를 설치하여 안전사고에 대비하는 것이 일반적이다. 다만 인터록장치는 대부분 기계설비의 가동조건과 하드와이어드(hard-wired)로 결선된 단순 구조가 아닌 PLC(Programmable Logic Controller), 터치판넬, 통신장치 등과 다양하게 다소 복잡한 구조로 설치되어 있고, 인터록장치에 사용되는 센서도 구조, 기능, 사용처 등에 따라 매우 다양화되어 방호도어에 설치되는 안전센서의 사양 선정이 잘 못되거나 설치 후 관리가 미흡할 경우 오작동, 기능해지 등으로 인해 또 다른 사고위험에 그대로 노출될 우려가 있다. 따라서 방호가드에 설치된 인터록장치의 기능해지, 관리소홀 등으로 인해 발생한 사고사례, 아차사고 등을 통해 인터록장치 성능 유지관리를 위한 기술적 사항에 대한 기준을 마련할 필요가 있다.

Current feeder system (CFS) for Korea superconducting tokamak advanced research(KSTAR) project plays a role to interconnect magnet power supply (MPS) and superconducting (SC) magnets through the normal bus-bar at the room temperature(300 K) environment and the SC bus-line at the low temperature (4.5 K) environment. It is divided by two systems, i.e., toroidal field system which operates at 35 kA DC currents and poloidal field system wherein 20$\sim$26 kA pulsed currents are applied during 350 s transient time. Aside from the vacuum system of main cryostat, an independent vacuum system was constructed for the CFS in which a roughing system is consisted by a rotary and a mechanical booster pump and a high vacuum system is developed by four cryo-pumps with one dry pump as a backing pump. A self interlock and its control system, and a supervisory interlock and its control system are also established for the operational reliability as well. The entire CFS was completely tested including the reliability of local/supervisory control/interlock, helium gas leakage, vacuum pressure, and so on.

Steel encased composite columns have been used for buildings and piers of bridges. Since the column section for the pier is relatively larger than that of building columns, economical steel ratio needs to be investigated for the required performance. Composite action between concrete and embedded steel sections can be obtained by bond and friction. However, the behavior of the column depends on the load introduction mechanism. Compression can be applied to concrete section, steel section and composite section. In this paper, experiments on shear strength of the steel encased composite column were performed to study the effect of confinement by transverse reinforcements, mechanical interlock by holes, and shear connectors. Bond strength obtained from the tests showed considerably higher value than the design value. Confinement, mechanical interlock and stud connectors Increased the shear strength and these values can be used effectively to obtain composite action of Steel Reinforced Concrete(SRC) columns.

The control module controlling points has become high-tech. but the introduction of relevant company's inspection intervals and methods, and the adoption of the way which is used in relay interlock system became the cause of a failure by excessive and incorrect maintenance. The Human error in failure recovery process can cause vital accidents including train derailment, the points monitoring system could prevent this problem by monitoring points' operation condition in real time. After conducting the changed inspection intervals that applied the results of the criticality of each failure type, MTBF, MTTR, availability, maintainer's opinion, the work became simplified, and, the failure did not occur for 4 consecutive years in contrast to the previous annual average of 11 failures.

PURPOSES : This study aims to evaluate the performance of interlocking block pavement system for low speed highway. METHODS : Through on-site monitoring, environmental impact assessment of interlocking block pavement such as heat island reduction, traffic safety, noise pollution were evaluated as compared with asphalt pavement. Also the pavement condition and roughness were evaluated according to performance period. RESULTS : Surface temperature of interlocking block pavement was about 7 degree lower than asphalt pavement in midsummer. Compared to asphalt pavement, vehicle speed reduction effect of interlocking block pavement was about 2kph. For low speed driving, the noise pollution was measured at a similar level for both asphalt and interlocking block pavement. After 42month service period, the breakage of block was only 0.24% for the whole surveyed area. IRI of interlock block pavement was estimated within the range of 5~8m/km. CONCLUSIONS : Depending on the performance monitoring results such as heat island reduction, providing traffic safety and keeping a good pavement condition for a long service period, it assures that interlocking block pavement was applicable for low speed road.
