This paper presents a three-dimensional numerical simulation for thermal oxidation process. A new elasto-viscoplastic model for robust numerical oxidation simulation is proposed. The three-dimensional effects of oxidation process such as mask lifting effect and corner effects are analyzed. In nano-scale process, the oxidant diffusion is punched through to the other side of the mask. The mask is lifted so the thickness of oxide region is greatly enhanced. The compressive pressure during the oxidation is largest in the mask corner of the island structure. This is because the masked area near the corner is surrounded by an area larger than the others in the island structure. This stress induces the retardation of the oxide growth, especially at the masked corner in the island structure.

One of the most serious promblems in the concrete structures is cracking failure due to the several complicated reasons. These cracks are not only serious structural problems, but also lower the durability and deteriorate the structural shape, which cause the reinforcement rust in the open air and sea water. An analytical study was undertaken to investigate the cracking problems in the one of concrete caissons using Finite Element Method. This caisson is modelled with plate elements and truss elements for the walls and lifting cables respectively and analyzed in the every construction stages, such as lifting, moving, sinking, filling, towing, setting, and proposed reasonable construction methods for the concrete caisson structures.

As recent construction projects are bigger and higher, the importance of lifting is increasing. In construction sites tower cranes are an essential lifting equipment covering were than 50% of all construction activities. But due to neglect of safety supervision, tower crane-related accidents are frequently taking place. Since most of construction activities is done in heights, the accidents are more likely to be catastrophic. According to an analysis of the causes of tower crane-related accidents, 49% of all accidents claimed for certain periods($1999{\sim}2003$) occurred in the process of telescoping work. Therefore, this research is conducted with the object of analyzing telescoping work of tower cranes and presenting solutions against safety risk. It is expected that the results of this study can be used as useful basic data or material when preparing for effective safety management for tower cranes.

In this study, a multivariate function was applied to the genetic algorithm for D-type lugs currently used in shipyards to closely analyze the behavioral form of weight loss without double plates. An optimal lifting lug structure design without attachments is proposed. MATLAB R2016a was used to design features by applying multivariate functions to genetic algorithms. Furthermore, the design was achieved by deriving the optimal shapes of lugs using genetic algorithms. The shapes of the designed lugs were validated for structural bonding using the structural analysis program ANSYS 2020 R2, and a robust design of lugs with no appendages was developed.

Under nuclear reactor severe accidents, the resuspension of radioactive aerosol may occur in the containment due to the disturbing airflow generated by hydrogen combustion, hydrogen explosion and containment depressurization resulting in the increase of radioactive source term in the containment. In this paper, for containment conditions, by considering the contact between particle and rough deposition surface, the distribution of the distance between two contact points of particle and deposition surface, rolling and lifting separation mechanism, resuspension model based on random contact with rough surface (RRCR) is established. Subsequently, the detailed torque and force analysis is carried out, which indicates that particles are more easily resuspended by rolling under low disturbing airflow velocity. The simulation result is compared with the experimental result and the prediction of different simulation methods, the RRCR model shows equivalent and better predictive ability, which can be applicable for simulation of aerosol resuspension in containment during severe accident.

To improve the productivity of cargo containment construction for a membrane LNG carrier, it is important to shorten the installation period and process of the scaffolding system, which is a construction workbench of a cargo containment for a membrane LNG carrier. As an effective method, opinions are being gathered to enlarge the lifting unit from the existing two stages to eight stages. On the other hand, the stresses around the pin and hole will increase significantly because of the increase in lifting load according to the large size of the module. The purpose of this study was to establish a new large module-lifting plan by introducing TRIZ to solve these problems. This study adopted a method to utilize 40 inventive principles, which is one of the various problem-solving tools of TRIZ. First, technical contradictions were derived, the engineering parameters were selected. Second, efficient inventive principles were selected to overcome the technical contradictions using a contradiction matrix. Finally, the general and specific solutions were derived through the selected inventive principle, and structural analysis confirmed that the stress generated in the structure was low. The utility of TRIZ was confirmed by the successful lifting of large modules using the established lifting method.

The purpose of this study is searching for technical merits and demerits of each weight lifting player through qualitative motion analysis system. Moreover, It is also analysis the repeating the establishment of exercise purpose and studying for the effect of the field adaptation. The subject of this study was five male weight lifting players who have been engaged in Korean Delegation Team. The institution of exercise target was made through two times qualitative analysis and the result of studying for the effect of the field adaptation was produced before offering feedback. Moreover, two time analysis added after offering feedback. All analysis was based on 2-D visual analysis. The results of this study are as follows: 1. Maximal barbell moving speed in starting phase was decreased after offering feedback. This result implies advancement of technical skills after offering feedback. 2. From starting posture to 앉아받기, forward and backward moving distance of hip joint was decreased after offering feedback in all subjects. This result represents advancement of technical skills after offering feedback. 3. In terms of pull phase, forward and backward moving distance of hip and shoulder joint was decreased after offering feedback in all subjects. This result represents advancement of technical skills after offering feedback. 4. In terms of pull phase, the difference of horizontal value of coordinates was decreased after offering feedback in all subjects. This result represents advancement of technical skills after offering feedback. 5. In terms of pull phase, the motion range of hip joint was decreased after offering feedback in three of five subjects and this represents advancement of technical skills after offering feedback. However, the rest of them were not variable or narrow decreasing. This result represents that feedback system could not brought tremendous effects. 6. From apex point of barbell to 앉아받기, the difference of barbell height was decreased after offering feedback in three of five subjects and this represents advancement of technical skills after offering feedback. However, the rest of them weren't variable or narrow increasing. This result represents that feedback system could not brought tremendous effects. 7. In terms of last-pull phase, the angular velocity of knee joint was increased after offering feedback in four of five subjects and this represents advancement of technical skills after offering feedback. However, the rest of them, only one subject, decreased. This result represents that feedback system could not brought tremendous effects. 8. In terms of last-pull, the conversional tendency of maximal extension to flextion came out all but simultaneously without offering feedback in four of five subjects. This is well-performed technique. Only one subject, however, could not use power effectively because the fact that his maximal extension came out in serial, from ankle to knee and waist means dispersion of power. In addition to, after offering feedback, only one subject made increasing the maximal extension of knee in last-pull and this result represents advancement of skills after offering feedback. However, the rest of them could not make meaningful development after offering feedback. 9. It might be assumed that searching for technical merits and demerits of each weight lifting player through qualitative motion analysis system could improve player's skill.
