In this study, a fatigue damage estimation for an ice-going vessel navigating through broken ice fields was carried out. A numerical model to simulate the interaction between ice and structure developed using the finite element method was introduced. Time series of stresses calculated by the proposed model and the corresponding fatigue analysis results are presented. The numerical model enables the long time analysis through an efficient interaction model, the application of the periodic media analysis and the convolution integral, and it allows the stress time history to be extracted directly using the finite element method. To describe the probability distribution of stress amplitudes, the 2-parameter Weibull model was applied to the calculated stress time history, and the fatigue damage was calculated using the Palmgren-Miner rule. Finally, the fatigue damage considering the ice conditions of the Baltic Sea was calculated using the proposed method and LR method, and the results were compared to each other.

The commercialization has been of great importance to the clean energy research sector for investing the wind farm development, but it would be difficult to reach a social consensus on the need to expand the economic feasibility of renewable energy due to the lack of reliable and continuous information on levelized cost of Energy (LCOE). Regarding this fact, this paper presents the evaluation of LCOE, focusing on Ulsan offshore region targeting to build the first floating offshore wind farm. Energy production is estimated by the meteorology data combined with the Leanwind Project power curve of an exemplar wind turbine. This work aims to analyze the costs of the Capex depending on site-specific variables. The cost of final LCOE was estimated by using Monte-Carlo method, and it became an average range 297,090 KRW/MWh, a minimum of 251,080 KRW/MWh, and a maximum of 341,910 KRW/MWh. In the year 2021, the SMP (system marginal price) and 4.5 REC (renewable energy certificate) can be paid if 1 MWh of electricity is generated by renewable energy. Considering current SMP and REC price, the floating platform industry, which can earn around 502,000 KRW/MWh, can be finally estimated highly competitive in the Korean market.

기존의 트라이볼로지 분석 기법은 macro 영역에서 시료의 강도 및 탄성 등의 물성을 분석하는 정도였으나 Nano-Indenter 분석 기법은 macro 영역보다 더 미세한 nano 영역에서의 시료 물성 분석을 가능하게 해주었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시료들의 결정 배양 방향에 따른 Nano-Indenter 압입 각도 차이에 대한 nano 영역에서의 연구를 진행하였다. Si 기판 외에 본 연구에 사용 된 HfN 및 Zr 박막의 시료들은 rf magnetron sputter를 이용하여 약 100 nm 두께로 증착하였다. 각각 시료들에 대한 결정성 확인을 위해 XRD 분석을 실시하였다. 이후 Nano-Indenter를 이용하여 압입 인가력 대비 압입 깊이를 측정하였다. 이 과정에서 Nano-Indenter 압입 각도를 $0^{\circ}$와 $90^{\circ}$로 변화함에 따라 압입 인가력 - 압입 깊이 그래프의 차이를 확인하였고 이를 기준점으로 부터 $10{\mu}m$ 이격시켜 16회 반복 측정과 Weilbull distribution을 통해 신뢰도를 향상시켰다. 측정 결과 Zirconium(Zr) 박막의 경우 21.53 GPa과 22.18 GPa 측정되었으나 Si 기판은 17.46 GPa 16.33 GPa으로, 그리고 HfN 박막의 경우 25.18 GPa과 27.75 GPa으로 상대적으로 큰 차이를 확인하였다. Si 기판과 HfN의 측정결과 Weibull distribution는 75.02와 70.23인 반면 Zr 박막은 30.94로 상대적으로 불균일한 특성을 확인하였다. 이 결과들로부터 각각의 박막 결정 배양 방향에 따른 분석의 한가지 방법으로 Nano-Indenter 분석 기법을 사용할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

This study was conducted to construct a empirical yield table for Pinus densiflora in real forest. Since existing normal yield tables have been derived by studying and analyzing communities in ideal environment for tree growth, those tables provide more over-estimated values than ones from real forest. Because of this, there are some difficulties to apply the tables to empirical forest except for normal forest. In this study, therefore, we estimated stand growth for real forest on P. densiflora as the representative species of conifers. We used 1,957 sample plot data of P. densiflora in central Korea from National Forest Inventory (NFI) system, and analyzed through estimation, recovery and prediction in order by using Weibull function as a diameter distribution model. Weilbull and Schumacher models were applied for estimating mean DBH and mean basel area and it was found that the site index for P. densiflora in central Korea ranges from 8 to 14 at reference age 30. According to site 12 in the stand yield table, the Mean Annual Increment (MAI) of P. densiflora was $4.42m^3/ha$ at 30 years of age. Compared to existing volume table constructed before, it is showed that MAI of this study were lower. According to the paired t-test that is conducted with the gap of volume values between normal forest and real forest by site index and age, the P-value was less than 0.001 which is recognized to have a statistically significant difference. Based on the results in this study, it is considered to be helpful for practical management and management policy on P. densiflora in central Korea.
