This paper presents the optimum design of cylindrical shell under external pressure loading. Two kinds of material, AI7075-T6, Ti-6AI-4V, are considered. For each material, the design variable is a thickness of the unstiffened parallel middle body shell, and the state variable, constraint, is hoop stress and the object function is total weight of the cylindrical shell. Optimization is performed by conventional FE Program, ANSYS. In addition, buckling analysis is performed for the middle body of the cylindrical shell. Finally, we calculates the payload of the cylindrical shell to keep neutral buoyancy with optimized thickness in deep-sea applications.

The concentration fields in the proximities of a local gas emission source are experimentally analyzed in several combinations of wind incidences and source emissions. These conditions are determined by the plume buoyancy, emission velocity and incident flow wind speed. Concentration measurements are performed by an aspirating probe in a boundary layer wind tunnel. The analysis included the mean concentration values and the intensity of concentration fluctuations in a neutral atmospheric boundary layer flow. Different configurations are tested: an isolated stack in a homogeneous terrain and a stack with a bluff body in close proximity, located windward and leeward from the emission source. The experimental mean concentration values are contrasted with Gaussian profiles and the dilution factor is analyzed with respect to the empirical curves of the minimum dilution. Finally, a study on the plume intermittency is performed in a cross-sectional plane near the emission source. It is possible to highlight the following observations: a) plume vertical asymmetry in the case of an isolated emission source, b) significant differences in the dispersion process related to the relative location of the emission source and bluff body effects, and c) different probabilistic behavior of the concentration fluctuation data in a cross-sectional measurement plane inside the plume.

Limbs and supporting structures of an organism experience a full weight of its own when it lands from water, because neutral buoyancy in the aquatic habitat will be no longer available in the terrestrial world. Metamorphosis of anuran amphibians presents 8 good research model to examine how this transition from non-loading to weight-loading affects development of motor capacity at the time of their first emergence on land. Our video analysis of the transitional anurans, Rana catesbeiana, at Gosner stage 46 (the stage of complete transformation) demonstrated that the take-off speed increased 1.23-fold after the first six hours of weight-loading on the wet ground. It did not increase further during the following three days of loading, and was close to the level of mature frogs with different body mass. During development of larvae in deep water with no chance of landing through metamorphosis, both tension and power of a hindlimb anti-gravity muscle increased 5-fold between stages 37 and n. However, the muscle contractility increased more rapidly when the larvas could access the wet ground by their natural landing behavior after stages 41-42. Muscle power, one of major factors affecting locomotory speed, was 1.29-fold greater in the loaded than in the non-loaded larvae at the transitional stage. Thus, weight-loading had a potentially significant effect on the elevation of motor capacity, with a similar extent of increment in locomotory speed and muscle power during the last stages of metamorphosis. Such a motor adjustment of the froglets in a relatively short transitional period would be important for effective ecological interactions and survival in their inexperienced terrestrial life.

Most factories deal with toxic or flammable chemicals in their industrial processes. These hazardous substances pose a risk of leakage due to accidents, such as fire and explosion. In the event of chemical release, massive casualties and property damage can result; hence, quantitative risk prediction and assessment are necessary. Several methods are available for evaluating chemical dispersion in the atmosphere, and most analyses are considered neutral in dispersion models and under far-field wind condition. The foregoing assumption renders a model valid only after a considerable time has elapsed from the moment chemicals are released or dispersed from a source. Hence, an initial dispersion model is required to assess risk quantitatively and predict the extent of damage because the most dangerous locations are those near a leak source. In this study, the dispersion model for initial consequence analysis was developed with three-dimensional unsteady advective diffusion equation. In this expression, instantaneous leakage is assumed as a puff, and wind velocity is considered as a coordinate transform in the solution. To minimize the buoyant force, ethane is used as leaked fuel, and two different diffusion coefficients are introduced. The calculated concentration field with a molecular diffusion coefficient shows a moving circular iso-line in the horizontal plane. The maximum concentration decreases as time progresses and distance increases. In the case of using a coefficient for turbulent diffusion, the dispersion along the wind velocity direction is enhanced, and an elliptic iso-contour line is found. The result yielded by a widely used commercial program, ALOHA, was compared with the end point of the lower explosion limit. In the future, we plan to build a more accurate and general initial risk assessment model by considering the turbulence diffusion and buoyancy effect on dispersion.

예인케이블은 예인음탐기(TASS: Towed Array Sonar System)를 윈치(Winch)를 이용하여 수중으로 반복전개, 회수하여 수중에서 음탐기로 탐지된 신호(정보)를 탐사선 또는 수상함으로 전달하고 예인음탐기에 전원공급하는 역할을 한다. 예인케이블은 세부적으로 중량케이블과 경량케이블로 구성된다. 음탐기용 예인케이블은 운용 심도가 깊어질수록 수중 환경이 열악하여 높은 기계적 특성과 내구성이 요구되는 특징이 있다. 이러한 제약사항으로 인하여 국내에서 설계 및 제작된 사례는 극히 드문 실정이다. 본 연구를 통해 확보된 광통신 방식 예인케이블 설계에 대한 핵심기술은 방위산업 및 민간 분야에도 다양하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

한반도의 판 내부 기원 신생대 후기 현무암류(백두산, 전곡, 백령도, 평택, 아산, 간성, 울릉도, 독도, 제주도 등)에 대해 그 동안에 보고된 Sr-Nd-Pb-Mg-Zn 동위원소를 포함한 지구화학 자료를 종합정리하고, 그 근원 맨틀 속에 포함된 암상을 파악한 후 필요한 맨틀 단성분의 종류와 그 성인에 대해서 고찰하였다. Sr-Nd 동위원소 상관도에서 제주도는 EM2형 해양도 현무암의 영역에 도시되는 반면 다른 지역 현무암류는 EM1형 해양도 현무암의 영역에 도시된다. Pb-Pb 동위원소 상관도에서 제주도는 인도양 중앙해령 현무암과 EM2 단성분 간의 혼합 배열을 보이는 반면, 다른 지역 현무암류는 인도양 중앙해령 현무암과 EM1 단성분 간의 혼합 배열을 보인다. 한반도 현무암류는 석류석 러어조라이트와 함께 과거에 섭입하여 맨틀 전이대에 정치하고 있는 해양판 물질(에클로자이트/휘석암, 원양 퇴적물, 탄산염)이 혼합된 맨틀에서 유래되었다. EM1형 단성분의 역할을 하는 물질은 오래전(~2.0 Ga)에 섭입되어 중성 부력으로 맨틀 전이대에 정치되어 있는 (함)K-Hollandite 원양 퇴적물로 추정된다. EM2 단성분은 맨틀 속에 섭입된 후 빠른 시간 안에 재활성된 상대적으로 젊은(아마도 태평양판의) 원양 점토 퇴적물일 가능성이 높다. 에클로자이트와 탄산염은 EM 구성요소는 아니나 한반도 현무암의 근원 맨틀 속에 공통 인자로 포함되어 있다.
