We have developed a compact, wavelength-selectable, Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at mid ultraviolet for chemical warfare agent detection. The fundamental wave at 1064 nm is delivered by a pulsed solid state laser incorporating with a square-type Nd:YAG rod in a resonator closed by two crossed Porro prisms for environmental reliability. The output energy at 213 nm ($5{\omega}$) and 266 nm ($4{\omega}$) by ${\chi}^{(2)}$ process in the sequentially disposed BBO crystals are measured to be 6.8 mJ and 15.1 mJ, respectively. The output wavelength is selected for $5{\omega}$ and $4{\omega}$ by a motorized wavelength switch. The energy ratio of the $5{\omega}$ to the $4{\omega}$ is varied from 0.05 to 0.85 by controlling the phase matching temperature of the nonlinear crystal for sum-frequency generation without change of the output pulse parameters.

Mixing Vane Grid (MVG) is one of the most important structures in fuel assembly due to its high performance in mixing the coolant and ultimately increasing Critical Heat Flux (CHF), which avoids the temperature rising suddenly of fuel rods. To evaluate the mixing performance of the MVG, a Total Diffusion Coefficient (TDC) mixing coefficient is defined in the subchannel analysis code. Conventionally, the TDC of the spacer grid is obtained from the combination of experiments and subchannel analysis. However, the processing of obtaining and determine a reasonable TDC is much challenging, it is affected by boundary conditions and MVG geometries. In is difficult to perform all the large and costing rod bundle tests. In this paper, the CFD method was applied in TDC analysis. A typical 5 × 5 MVG was simulated and validated to estimate the mixing performance of the MVG. The subchannel code was used to calculate the TDC. Firstly, the CFD method was validated from the aspect of pressure drop and lateral temperature distribution in the subchannels. Then the effect of boundary conditions including the inlet temperature, inlet velocities, heat flux ratio between hot and cold rods and the arrangement of hot and cold rods on MVG mixing and TDC were studied. The geometric effects on mixing are also carried out in this paper. The effect of vane pattern on mixing was investigated to determine which one is the best to represent the grid's mixing performance.

지지격자가 있는 봉다발과 축방향으로 평행한 유동에서, 봉다발 마찰계수와 지지격자 손실계수를 평가하였다. 시험부는 외경 9.5 mm, 길이 2000 mm 인 봉 25 개를 $5{\times}5$ 정사각 구조로 배열하여 제작하였으며, 봉 중심간 거리와 봉 외경의 비는 1.35 였다. 지지격자로는 plain 지지격자, split-vane 지지격자, hybrid-vane 지지격자를 이용하였다. 지지격자가 없는 봉다발의 마찰계수는 기존 상관식과 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 지지격자가 있는 봉다발 실험의 경우, hybrid-vane 지지격자에서 봉다발 마찰계수 및 지지격자 손실계수가 가장 크게 측정되었으며, 이는 지지격자의 유동단면 막음비 증가와 혼합날개 형상에 의한 유동 교란이 증가되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. Re=$5{\times}10^5$ 조건에서 plain 지지격자, split-vane 지지격자, hybrid-vane 지지격자의 손실계수는 약 0.79, 0.80, 0.88 로 예측되었다.

The reflood test data from the rod bundle heat transfer (RBHT) test facility showed that the grids in the upper portion of the rod bundle could become wet well before the arrival of the quench front and that the sizes of liquid droplets downstream of a wet grid could not be predicted by the droplet breakup models for a dry grid. To investigate the water droplet generation from a wet grid spacer, a viscous linear temporal instability model of the water sheet issuing from the trailing edge of the grid with the surrounding steam up-flow is developed in this study. The Orr-Sommerfeld equations along with appropriate boundary conditions for the flow are solved using Chebyshev series expansions and the Tau-Galerkin projection method. The effects of several physical parameters on the water sheet oscillation are studied by determining the variation of the temporal growth rate with the wavenumber. It is found that a larger relative steam velocity to water velocity has a tendency to destabilize the water sheet with increased dynamic pressure. On the other hand, a larger ratio of steam boundary layer to the half water sheet thickness has a stabilizing effect on the water sheet oscillation. Droplet diameters downstream of the spacer grid predicted by the present model are found to compare reasonably well with the data obtained at the RBHT test facility as well as with other data recently reported in the literature.

Column base connections are critical components in steel structures because they transfer axial forces, shear forces and moments to the foundation. Exposed column bases are quite commonly used in low- to medium-rise buildings. To investigate shear transfer in exposed column base plates, four large scale specimens were subjected to a combination of axial load (compression or tension) and lateral shear deformations. The main parameters examined experimentally include the number of anchor rod, arrangement of anchor rod, type of lateral loading, and axial force ratio. It is observed that the shear resisting mechanism of exposed column base changed as the axial force changed. When the axial force is in compression, the resisting mechanism is rotation type, and the shear force will be resisted by friction force between base plate and mortar layer. The specimens could sustain inelastic deformation with minimal strength deterioration up to column rotation angle of 3%. The moment resistance and energy dissipation will be increased as the number of anchor rods increased. Moreover, moment resistance could be further increased if the anchor rods were arranged in details. When the axial force is in tension, the resisting mechanism is slip type, and the shear force will be resisted by the anchor rods. And the shear resistance was reduced significantly when the axial force was changed from compression to tension. The test results indicated that the current design approach could estimate the moment resistance within reasonable acceptance, but overestimate the shear resistance of exposed column base.

The purpose of this study is for the sensitivity study f9r a Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) of the System-integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor for a Pilot (SMART-P) plant. The thermal hydraulic analysis of a SGIR for the Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO) is performed using TASS/SMR code. The TASS/SMR code can calculate the core power, pressure, flow, temperature and other values of the primary and secondary system for the various initiating conditions. The major concern of this sensitivity study is not the minimum Critical Heat Flux Ratio(CHFR) but the maximum leakage amount from the primary to secondary sides at the steam generator. Therefore the break area causing the maximum accumulated break flow is researched for this reason. In the case of a SGIR for the SMART-p, the total integrated break flow is 11,740kg in the worst case scenario, the minimum CHFR is maintained at Over 1.3 and the hottest fuel rod temperature is below 606"I during the transient. It means that the integrity of the fuel rod is guaranteed. The reactor coolant system and the secondary system pressures are maintained below 18.7MPa, which is system design pressure.

본 논문에서는 압축파괴에너지를 이용하여 고강도 구속콘크리트에 대한 응력-변형률 모델을 제안하였다. 참고문헌[5]에서 저자가 실시한 압축실험에는 변형률 게이지를 부착한 아크릴 막대를 실험체의 중앙부에 매립하여 압축부재의 국부 변형률 측정을 시도하였다. 이 아크릴 막대를 이용한 국부 변형률 측정은 매우 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 압축파괴영역길이는 아크릴 막대로부터 측정된 국부 변형률 분포에 기초하여 정의되었다. 구체적으로, 구속콘크리트의 국소파괴영역길이는 압축강도 발현시의 변형률 ${\varepsilon}_{cc}$의 2배 이상 변형률이 증가하는 영역으로 정의하였다. 또한, 동일한 횡구속압을 받는 압축부재에 흡수된 에너지양은 부재의 형상이나 크기에 관계없이 일정하다는 가정에서 압축 파괴에너지를 도입한 구속콘크리트의 응력-변형률 관계를 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 모델은 본 연구의 실험결과뿐만 아니라 타 연구자들의 실험결과를 대체적으로 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

The increased speed of a train causes increased loads that act on the track substructures. To ensure the safety of the track substructures, proper maintenance and repair are necessary based on an accurate characterization of strength and stiffness. The objective of this study is to develop and apply a cone penetrometer incorporated with the dynamic cone penetration method (CPD) for investigating track substructures. The CPD consists of an outer rod for dynamic penetration in the ballast layer and an inner rod with load cells for static penetration in the subgrade. Additionally, an energy-monitoring module composed of strain gauges and an accelerometer is connected to the head of the outer rod to measure the dynamic responses during the dynamic penetration. Moreover, eight strain gauges are installed in the load cells for static penetration to measure the cone tip resistance and the friction resistance during static penetration. To investigate the applicability of the developed CPD, laboratory and field tests are performed. The results of the CPD tests, i.e., profiles of the corrected dynamic cone penetration index (CDI), profiles of the cone tip and friction resistances, and the friction ratio are obtained at high resolution. Moreover, the maximum shear modulus of the subgrade is estimated using the relationships between the static penetration resistances and the maximum shear modulus obtained from the laboratory tests. This study suggests that the CPD test may be a useful method for the characterization of track substructures.

이 연구는 정중 과잉치 법랑질의 구조학적 및 형태학적 특징에 대하여 주사형 전자현미경(FE-SEM)과 에너지 분산형 분광분석법(EDS)을 이용하여 관찰하고 영구 중절치와 유중절치의 법랑질 구조 및 형태와 차이점에 대하여 평가하고자 하였다. 15개의 정중 과잉치, 영구 중절치와 유중절치를 이용하였으며, 법랑질의 두께와 법랑소주 직경에 대하여 FE-SEM을 이용하여 측정 및 관찰하고, 성분 분석을 위하여 EDS를 이용하였다. 그 결과 법랑소주 두께의 경우 영구 중절치, 정중 과잉치, 유중절치 순으로 나타났다. 법랑소주의 직경의 경우 영구중절치와 정중 과잉치에서는 유의할 만한 차이가 없었으며, 유중절치는 두 그룹에 비해서 작게 나타났다. 성분 분석 시 칼슘의 경우 영구 중절치와 정중 과잉치에 있어서 통계적 유의성이 없었으며, 유중절치는 작게 나타났다. Ca/P ratio의 경우 정중 과잉치와 영구 중절치는 비슷한 수치를 나타내며 통계적 유의성이 없었고, 유중절치보다는 두 그룹 모두 높게 나타났다. Ca/C ratio의 경우 마찬가지로 정중 과잉치와 영구 중절치에서 유중절치보다 높게 나타났다. 이를 통하여 정중 과잉치의 법랑질 특성은 유중절치보다는 영구 중절치와 더 유사함을 알 수 있고, 임상적으로 정중 과잉치의 활용 시 영구 중절치와 비슷한 법랑질 성질을 지님을 유추할 수 있다.

This paper presents the analysis results for the core degradation processes and the fission product release of the PHEBUS FPT0 experiment using MELCOR1.8.3. The objective of this study is to assess models associated with the core damage and fission product behavior in MELCOR. The calculation results were much improved through sensitivity studies. Thermal/hydraulic behavior in the core and the circuit was well predicted under the intact core geometry. In non-eutectic model case. the UO$_2$ dissolution model in the MELCOR always showed such a tendency that the resulting dissolved UO$_2$ mass was small at the highly oxidized condition due to the model logic. Total H$_2$ generation mass was underpredicted because the stiffner was not modeled and the liner in the shroud was not allowed to be oxidized in MELCOR. Some difficulties were found in modeling the activation product were solved by manipulating the RN input associated with the initial fission product inventory. These problem were occurred because there are no control rod model in MELCOR. Generally the fission product release ratio showed a similar trend compared with the measured data except the activation product. which have no model to simulate in MELCOR.
